The City Council has considered this application <br /> including the findings and recommendations of the Planning <br /> Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicant <br /> and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, <br /> safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on <br /> this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally <br /> to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br /> variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, <br /> light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to <br /> neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate <br /> a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and <br /> would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning <br /> Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
