Pursuant to Section 41-632.2 of the SAMC, the Planning Commission may grant a variance to development standards when it can be shown that there exists a special circumstance related to the property, is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights, will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding property, and will not adversely affect the General Pian. If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the variances. Conversely, the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Staff has prepared the following analysis that forms the basis for the variance recommendations contained in this report.
