Variance No. 2005-14 October 10, 2005 Page 1 of 1 Findings of Fact A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. Special circumstances exist that necessitate a variance for a reduction in street frontage. The driveway is intended to be a secondary access point to the school facilities, which will be located at the rear of the property. As the driveway will be designed to comply with City codes, the granting of a variance is warranted. B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of the variance for a reduction in street frontage will allow the enjoyment of property rights. Since the school will take secondary access from First Street, and at least one access points is proposed for the office building, a reduction in the required street frontage is warranted. C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The street frontage variance will not be detrimental to the surrounding area as access to both sites will be provided. Additionally, surplus parking will be provided for the school, thereby reducing impacts to surrounding properties. D. 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 Professional and Administrative Office (P) encourages development that is well planned. f~~~1 ~
