W� �RRP.A� the Planning Crnirnission finds that the following circ�xr�tances exist:
1. That the adjustrnent authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vieinity and district
in which the subject praperty is situated;
2. `I't�t because of special circurr�stances applicable to the subject property, ineluding
- size, shape, topography, location, or surrotu�chngs, the strict application of the
provisions of this chapter is found to deprive the subject property of privilegas
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifi-
cations
3. That the granting of the Variance will not be contrary to tlie intent of this
etuipter or to the publie safety, health and welfare;
4. That due to special conditions or exceptional characteristics of the property ar its
location, the strict application of the provisions oP this chapter would result in
difficulties ana iuu�ec.�essary t�ardship;
5. The granting of the Variance will not be materially detr'vnental to other pcoperties
or land uses in the area because the views currently enjoyed by the surrounding
properties will not be significantly impaeted by the proposed development;

use that do not apply to other p�.rties in the same zone. The property has no
apparent or significant viewsheds, nor do�s it appear to uffect surnounding
viewsheds.
7. The strict application of the ordinance deprives such property of privileges
enjoyed by other pro�erties in the vicinity or in the sarr►e zone because the 15-
foot restrlction would limit the buildable potential of the lot, and other parcels in
the a�ea t►ave been developed with two-story harnes; and

general ]end uses speci�ed in the General Plan beca�e the intent oP the urgency
