The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; , and is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant.
