#15-3778 ' � <br /> 17 Sept 2015 <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> enough excess available hardcover to remove to result in a functional and conforming <br /> level of hardcover. The existing level and site constraints serve as a practical difficulty. <br /> The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. <br /> Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the <br /> impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use <br /> permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. <br /> Practical Difficulties Statement <br /> Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B,and <br /> should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> Practical Difficulties Analysis <br /> Staff finds that the existing hardcover level and home location combined with the length and <br /> width of the property create practical difficulties for expanding the home or constructing a <br /> detached garage without variances. The applicant has provided a plan which results in no <br /> additional hardcover and is below the permitted structural coverage limitations. <br /> Public Comments <br /> Staff has not received any comments from the public regarding the applicant's project. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br /> property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the neighborhood? <br /> 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br /> impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br />
