The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is <br />necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty. The variance allows for the construction of a new <br />detached garage. The current attached garage cannot be expanded.. This criterion is met. <br />The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. Any <br />conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact <br />created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter <br />in the district where such land is located. <br />Public Comments <br />Adjacent property acknowledgment form has been provided.

Does the Planning Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br />impacts created by the granting of the requested variance? <br />4.
