property for a, pet clinic has been previously determined by the City

tional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the property involved or to the intended use of the property that

for the preservation or enjoyment of a substantial property right
of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone or
vicinity,

erty to the north zoned for, developed to, and used for multiple
