The City adopted <br />ordinances over the past few years to address inadequacies in the small, and/or narrow existing <br />properties, and disproportionate distribution of lot area within the 75-foot setback for hardcover <br />on Tier 1 lots. <br /> <br />Engineer Comments <br />The City Engineer has not reviewed the proposed plan. A thorough review will be conducted at <br />the time of building permit. <br /> <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br />property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br />2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the <br />essential character of the neighborhood? <br />3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br />impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br />4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />Planning staff recommends approval variances as requested as they are supported by practical <br />difficulties. If the planning commission makes the same conclusion, approval may be <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A. Application Summary & Narrative <br />Exhibit B.
