drive. An existing drive approach to the north is approximately 120 feet from
the proposed drive and does not currently serve an established use.
ACTION NEEDED: 1. Conduct public hearing
2. Consider Approval of a Site Plan

1. To receive a variance, the applicant must demonstrate one of the
following:
(a) A variance will reduce the impact of the project on surrounding
residential properties; or
(b) Compliance with this ordinance would impair the architectural
design or creativity of the project; or

developed properties; or
(d) The proposed construction is an addition to an existing project
that does not meet the requirements of this ordinance.

majority of the City Council members present and voting on the matter.
In order to grant a variance, the City Council must determine that a
literal enforcement of the regulations will create an unnecessary
hardship or a practical difficulty for the applicant; that the situation
causing the unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the
