• WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has adopted Resolution
No. 93-83 approving the four variances listed above contingent
upon the City Council approving the minor subdivision combining
the two existing lots into one; and

lot and in order for Chapter 48 to apply, the combination of the
two existing lots into one is necessary; and
WHEREAS, since the existing zoning of the property is R-3,
Medium Density Residential, a rezoning to R-4, High Density Resi-
dential, is required for the proposed use; and

intended use of the property is consistant with the Comprehensive
Plan designation; and

on-site storage of water have been met, according to the City
Engineer;
