regulations to add additional dwellings; that on August 21,1957,
applicants applied to the Modification Committee of the Planning
Commission for a rnodification of the applicable rear yard require-
ments in order to construct two additional houses, with attached
garages, to be located side by side at the front building line;
that the Modification Committee on February 11, 1957, approved
said applica~1on, and on appeal to the Planning Commission said

sion was then appealed to the City Council, and after a public
hearing thereon on November 19, 1957, said application for modi-
fication of the rear yard requirements was denied by the City Coun-
cil; that on December 3, 1957, permission was given by the City

ity of subject property have a dwelling constructed at or near the
front building line; that subject property is of sufficient size

detrimental to the public health or welfare, or injurious ,to the,
property or improvements in the same zone or vicinity in which the
property is local;ed and will not adversely affect the comprehensive
general plan. That the circtunstances applicable to the property are
now the same as ~lere applicable thereto at the time this City Coun-
cil granted permission for one additional dwelling upon the property
and the fact that the City Council after the adoption of Ordinance
No. 990 granted a modification to permit an additional dwelling on
subject property is an, exceptional circtunstance applicable to the
property involved that does not apply generally to the property or
k' class of use in the same zone or vicinity.
SECTION 5. That for the foregoing reasons a variance is
hereby granted to permit the construction of one additional dwell-
ing at the front, building line upon condition that such additional
dwelling shall comply with all other applicable requirements in-
cluding required yards and size of dwelling.
