That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the setback variance will allow the applicant the ability to construct two new residential high-rise towers on a site that is located within a master planned development. iii. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The setback variance will not be detrimental to the surrounding area as the setback will be landscaped to be compatible with the setbacks of the development. Further, the setback variance is consistent with a variance granted in 2000 for the DoubleTree Hotel located directly west of the project site. iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the City's General Plan in any way as the land use designation of District Center (DC) encourages the construction of high intensity land uses such as the proposed Geneva Commons project. 75C-280 Resolution No. 2005- Page 5 of 25
