Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Ordinance. c. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. d. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. e. A genuine hardship exists in complying with the literal terms of this Ordinance. 3. The applicant's existing outdoor storage area is consistent with previously granted Conditional Use Permit requirements with regard to area. 4. The relocation of the outdoor storage area to another location on the property will facilitate a building addition to the principal building rather than a detached accessory building, consistent with preferred City policy. 5. Without the existing outdoor storage area, a hardship is present in putting the property to a reasonable use for landscape maintenance and tree removal due to the size of equipment. 6. The relocation of the outdoor storage area provides a superior screening effect by placing it behind the existing and proposed building. 7. The requirements of Zoning Ordinance Section 922.020 as cited above are met. The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
