(c) The proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan designation of Low Density Residential for the area in which the subject site is located. (d) A temporary (one-year) variance for the use of the subject site as an impound yard is appropriate because the operator of the impound yard requires a reasonable amount of time to find and secure an alternative site for his business. 2. Variance 84-9 is approved to allow an automobile towing and impound yard business on the subject site, subject to the limitations, requirements and conditions set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
