The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br />recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by <br />the applicants and the public, 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 this property are peculiar to it <br />and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the <br />variances 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 and owners, but is necessary to alleviate a <br />demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property <br />right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br />Page 2of5 <br />
