Hardcover on the lot will not increase above the existing levels within � <br /> the 75'-250' zone or the 250'-500' zone. <br /> • c. The variances as approved are in line with the levels of hardcover <br /> variances approved on rebuild applications of similar lot conditions. <br /> d.

The City Council has considered this application including the findings <br /> and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, <br /> � comments by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed <br /> � variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5.� The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are <br /> peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning <br /> district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic <br /> conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring <br /> property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants,but is <br /> necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to <br /> preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in <br /> keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive <br /> Plan of the City. <br /> � . <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
