<br />surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found <br />to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at <br />variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this <br />chapter. <br /> <br />There are special circumstances applicable to the subject <br />property. The subject site is located on the northeast corner <br />of Olive and Second Streets, which is a contained site <br />surrounded by existing residential and commercial <br />developments. The setback, landscaping reductions and <br />loading space waiver are necessary due to the limited lot <br />size and configuration. This variance will allow the applicant <br />the ability to use the property in a manner that is consistent <br />with similar surrounding commercial and professional uses. <br /> <br />2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. <br /> <br />The granting of the variance will preserve the property <br />owner's ability to develop the property with a well-designed <br />office building that is consistent with the Professional (P) <br />zoning district. <br /> <br />3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to <br />the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. <br /> <br />The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental <br />to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property <br />because the project has been designed to preserve the <br />character of the surrounding neighborhood. The facility will <br />contribute to the general well being of the community by <br />providing professional service to residents and visitors as <br />well as enhancing the economic stability of the area by <br />converting a vacant lot into a vital, active commercial <br />development. <br /> <br />4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General <br />Plan of the City. <br /> <br />The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the <br />General Plan of the City since the proposed office building <br />was designed in conformance with City Zoning, <br />Development, and General Plan requirements. <br /> <br />D.
