EXHIBIT B
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION FINDINGS OF FACT:
The petition fails to meet the standards for variations established in Section
17.04.150.D of the Unified Development Ordinance:
1. The variation is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this
Unified Development Ordinance; and
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and thus strict
enforcement of the Unified Development Ordinance would result in
practical difficulties or impose exceptional hardships due to the special
and unusual conditions that are not generally found on other properties in
the same zoning district; and
3. The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality and will
not be a substantial detriment to adjacent property.
