c. Allowing the proposed new garage will have no impact on the essential character of the locality. In fact upgrading the home with a two -car garage enhances the neighborhood. d. The basis for the practical difficulties is that the garage is already constructed one foot from the rear and side property lines. e. If the variance is granted the use of the property would remain the same land use as it is today. The comprehensive plan guides this area for single family use and adding a larger garage will not alter that use. f. The proposal would not change the use of the property or create a disruption to the Single -Family Residential District. The current use as a single-family home is consistent with the City Code. g. The proposal seeks to make an improvement to the property by allowing the property owners to make better use of the garage by expanding it. The proposal does not increase the non -conformity. h. The proposal would not negatively impact adequate light or air from reaching the property or adjacent properties. i. Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the City's Code relating to preventing congestion in public streets. The project will have no impact on congestion. j. Allowing the requested variance will not result in overcrowding of the land or an undue concentration of structures. k. Allowing the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the City's Code to provide for compatibility of different land uses. The project will have no impact on land use compatibility. NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council's approval of the requested variances is contingent on the following: 1. The Applicant shall obtain all necessary permits and approvals prior to beginning construction. 2. This variance shall expire one (1) year from the date of the resolution if the construction of the new garage does not commence. City Council approval shall be required for an extension. APPROVED in the regular session of the City Council on 52015.
