Planning Cases VR2011-001 to 005 June 1, 2011 Staff Report Page 3 f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone. Given the circumstances, granting the variance requests may not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title. g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. The driveways will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to the adjoining properties. Public Hearing: As with any variance application, a public hearing is required. Notices were mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the applicant’s properties. Staff spoke to one neighbor who is happy to see the wider driveways so the tenants don’t park in the grass. Recommendation: After holding the public hearing and taking testimony from staff, the applicant and affected neighbors, the Commission may take one of the following actions related to the request: 1. Approve the variances as requested. There are five resolutions attached for action if the Commission so chooses. 2. Deny the requested variances. The Commission should direct staff to draft resolutions of denial with findings appropriate to support the denial. 3. Table the requests. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the requests until such information has been provided.
