MDTION was made by Griset, seconded by Bricken, to approve the following
Finding of Fact, in compliance with Section 41-638 (2)(a) of the Municipal
Code, 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 the Code:
l)
The subject property represents a consolidation of fourteen
relatively small parcels at the intersection of two arterial
highways. Individual parcel sizes and their location at
intersecting arterials, and existing and permitted development
on the adjacent corners creates the necessary special circum-
stances justifying the Variance.
2)
The subject proposal, due to its location at an intersection
of two major arterials, the demand for high rise office space,
and the mitigation of significant impacts affecting the
residential neighborhood to the north, would support the
approval of the Variance as approved.
3)
Granting of the Variance will not be materially detrimental
to the surrounding properties or to the public welfare by
virtue of the conditions attached to approval of the Applica-
tion, which specifically require the office structure to be
located as far south on the site as is practical, to minimize
potential impacts upon residential uses northerly of the site;
a_nd similarly the greatest height of the parking structure is
concentrated on the most southerly part of the site.
4) Granting of the Variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan. CA13.3
