All allowed structural repairs may not exceed $2,693. �0 for ea�h cabin structure for one year period (SPI$ of $5,386. 00) .. f) 31 . 109. Alterations may be made to a building containing lawful non conforming residential units when they will improve the livability thereof , provided they will not increase the number of dwelling units or bulk of the building . � 11. Council finds the change from seasonal resort use to permanent year round rental use of the property to be a less intense use because the permanent renter uses the cabin as a residence resulting in less use of the limited/riparian shoreline than the seasonal user. 12. The seasonal renters would often rent on a weekly basis demonstrating little concern for the property where the permanent renter a resident of the City is more concerned with the upkeep and appearance of the property. . � • 13. The policing and protection of a property with permanent renters is made easier by the element of familiarity - neighbor knowing neighbor as opposed to the weekly or seasonal renters. ' 14. The City Council has considered this application including the � findings and recommendationsof the Planning Commission, reports by City staff , comments by the owner and applicant and the effects of the non conforming use and location of this use in relation to the public health, safety and welfare within the community. 15. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this � property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to the property in this � � zoning district: the granting of the variance would not adversely effect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the owner , but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the owner; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. lti. The City Council finds that granting a cond.itional use permit to the applicant for the continuation of a non conforming use of the property allowing year round rental of the seven cabin structures would not be detrimental to the health , safety or general welfare of the public, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and the level of use of the property limited by the �rtinent sections for non conforming uses within the Zoning Code will be in eping with the in,tent and objections of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
