The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br /> the Applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br /> health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this Property are peculiar to <br /> it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting <br /> the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire <br /> hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a <br /> convenience to the Applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a practical difficulty; <br /> is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the Applicants; and would <br /> be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
