July 3, 2012 <br />Page 4 <br />c. Provide adequate light, air, and access to property; <br />The proposal would not negatively impact adequate light or air from reaching the <br />property or adjacent properties. The variance is needed to bring natural light into a <br />portion of the building that currently does not have any. Criteria met. <br />d. Prevent congestion in the public streets; <br />The proposal will have no impact on the amount of congestion in the public street. <br />Criteria met. <br />e. Prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating land, <br />buildings; yards, and densities; <br />The proposed improvement will result in the building exceeding the required 30 -foot <br />setback by three feet. Allowing the variance will result in the building being located 27 <br />feet from the property line instead of the required 30 feet. Staff does not believe that this <br />variance will result in overcrowding or concentration of buildings. Criteria met. <br />f. Provide for compatibility of different land uses; <br />The proposal will not result in a change of land use, nor will it conflict with adjacent land <br />uses. Criteria met. <br />POTENTIAL ACTION <br />1. Request Additional Information and Continue the Public Hearing. The Applicant appears to <br />have provided enough information for the Planning Commission to make a recommendation to <br />approve or deny the request. Should the Planning Commission request additional information <br />from the Applicant, the Planning Commission should continue the public hearing until a later <br />time. <br />2. Recommend Approval (with or without conditions) of the Variance. In the event of a <br />recommendation for approval (with or without conditions), the Planning Commission may refer <br />to Exhibit C, and may modify the draft resolution for approval to include any conditions that it <br />deems necessary. <br />3. Recommend Denial of the Variance. In the event the Planning Commission chooses denial of <br />the requested variance, it should clearly state its reasons for the denial recommendation. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Exhibit A: Location Map <br />Exhibit B: Applicant's Application <br />Exhibit C: Draft Resolution — Approving the Variance Request <br />
