therewith; and
WHEREAS, said Commission, after due inspection, investigation and study made
by itself and in its behalf, and after due consideration of all evidence and reports offered at said
heazing, does find and determine the following facts:
1. That the petitioner requests waiver of the following to estabiish a 4-lot single-
family detached residential subdivision:
(a) SECTION NO. 18.04.060A20 Lot Depth and Orientation 95-foot
and 82-foot lot depths proposed;
120-foot lot depth required adjacent
to an arterial highway)
2. That special circumstances apply to the sub~ect property because of the unique
size of this property in comparison with surrounding lots, and the desire to keep the current
residential structure on Lot No. 1, a 120 foot lot depth adjacent to Dale Avenue would limit the
number of lots that could be developed by Code; therefore, there are special circumstances that
apply to the subject property due to the irregular size of the property as compared to other
properties in the neighborhood.
3. That strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the property of
privileges enjoyed by other properties with identical zoning in the vicinity as there aze other lots
with single-family residences in the vicinity adjacent to Dale Avenue with lot depths less than
120 feet. Therefore, lot depths of 95 and 82 feet for Pazcels 1 and 3, will provide the opportunity
for development of this pazcel and implementation of the General Plan land use designation.
