findings:
SECTION 2. FINDINGS.
a. That there are no 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 the property or class of use in the same
zone or vicinity in that there is no evidence of any unique circumstance or
condition applicable to the subject property, its configuration, size, condition
or any other characteristic.
b. That such variance is not necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other
property in the same zone and vicinity in that property owners in the R-1 zone
possess a substantial property right to develop and utilize their property as a
single-family residence and the applicants can continue to use the legal
nonconforming single-family dwelling without making the proposed development.
c. That the granting of such variance could adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan in that the granting of this variance encourages the
retention of a nonconforming R-2 multiple-family development type use in an area
designated for single-family residential by both the General Plan and the Zoning
Ordinance. Rendering the property R-2 in use is in conflict with the General
Plan.
