The proposed use is conditionally permitted within the General Commercial district; however, the project does not comply with all the applicable provisions of the Development Code including, but not limited to Section 9-03.050, A and D, or the goals and objectives of the General Plan. 2. The proposed use will impair the integrity and character of the neighborhood because the proposed commercial use is not consistent with Section 9- 07.040.B of the Development Code which requires the front building setback area to be landscaped, and the proposed mini-storage use is out of character with the surrounding retail, restaurant and office uses. 3. The site is not suitable for the proposed intensity of development because the site is already dense with mini-storage units and adding more storage units will worsen the situation. 4. A variance cannot be granted to deviate from Section 9-07.040.A of the Development Code requiring a fifteen foot (15') front setback because there are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other properties classified in the same zone. 5.
