Based upon the evidence submitted at the abovesaid <br />hearing this Commission finds and determines as _follows: <br />A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the <br />subject property, including size, shape, topography, location <br />or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning <br />- ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of <br />privileges not otherwise. at variance with the intent and <br />purpose of the provisions of this chapter; <br />The Immaculate Heart of Jesus Catholic Church site is a <br />contained site surrounded by single-family neighborhoods. It <br />was originally developed with the intention of adding the <br />permanent church on a vacant pad on the corner of McFadden <br />-and Center. The location and current development on the <br />site makes it infeasible to add more land to the project. <br />The configuration of the existing development provides the <br />opportunity for a trade in landscape areas in order to <br />satisfy the intent of the code. <br />B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for 'the <br />preservation .and enjoyment of one or more substantial <br />property rights;. <br />The project fulfills the original master plan concept <br />envisioned for the site at the time of original development. <br />C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially <br />detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to .surrounding <br />.property; <br />The existing church has demonstrated that the vehicle <br />occupancy pattern for this neighborhood is higher than <br />1 <br />Pa a 229 31 ^ A ^ <br />~_._.. <br />~- - - - __ _ <br />v _~ _ __ _ _ _ _ - - _. _____ <br />_t_ _ --_ - =- --- _--_ -- -- - ----- <br />
