(d) The total number of people employed for all shifts is 174
with the largest shift being 129 people. In that 151 parking spaces will be
provided, adequate parking will exist; and
(e) The deletion of the requirement for one tree to be planted
for every 30 lineal feet of building will not reduce the required landscape
area for the site; and
(f) The building is located towards the center of the site and
will be screened from the street by the streetscape and lunch park; and
(g) The tree planting will inhibit maneuvering of on-site
equipment, thereby disrupting the business operation.
(h) As noted in their letter dated February 18, 1993, the
applicant will provide additional parking on-site, should the need arise, to
avoid impacting adjacent properties.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission
during the above-referenced public hearing 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. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs
1, 2 and 3 above, this Commission hereby approves the application.
5. The Secretary to this Commission shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution.
