Planning Commission based the above recommendation upon the following findings: p. The 6' side setback o Ct�ent t willa have noc impacte on I the g ei�hboring the additional enc property. B. The proposed dec ea nda d and add 1 o tthe intenseiTy of development in the extremely small r y area. � C. The 7' structure-to-structure setback yields a more open visual impact and thereby has minimal impact on visual density in the neighborhood. D.
