No hardship exists on this lot that would support or require <br />additional hardcover. <br />The granting of the requested variances would be contrary to the <br />provisions of Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-123 with which the <br />applicant must first comply in order that a variance be granted. The <br />Council finds that: <br />a. The property in question can be put to a reasonable use if used under <br />the conditions allowed by the official controls if the proposed <br />variances were granted. <br />b. The plight of the landowner was created by the landowner. <br />c.Granting of the proposed veniances would appear to serve as a <br />convenience to the applicants and the applicants have not <br />demonstrated a reasonable hardship o' practical difficulty acceptable <br />to the City Council. <br />d. The conditions of the Zoning Code limits imposed and existing on this <br />property generally apply to all other land and structures in the zoning <br />district in which this property is located as well as in adjacent <br />residential zoning districts. <br />The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br />and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br />comments by the applicant and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br />health, safety and welfare of the community. <br />Page 2 of 3
