(c) The reduction of the minimum lot depth from 150 to 124
square feet is due to the irregularly shaped nature of the western portion of
the tract.
(d) The reduction of the minimum average lot size from 22,500
to 21 ,935 square feet is due to the requirement of an extensive drainage
channel along the north tract boundary and the addition of a third cul-de-sac
street.
(e) The request will not create an inconsistency with the
surrounding approved tract and will not be out of character with it.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearings and upon the specific findings of
facts set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and
concludes as follows:
(a) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of
the specified regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
(b) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
or conditions applicable to the property involved or to the intended use of
the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same
district.
(c) That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of
the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by
the owners of other properties in the same district.
(d) That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a
grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other
properties classified in the same district.
(e) That the granting of the Variance will not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties
or improvements in the vicinity.
4. This Commission hereby finds and certifies that the project has
been reviewed and considered in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970 and, further, this Commission hereby issues a Negative
Declaration.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
1, 2, 3, and 4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application subject
to each and every condition set forth below.
