Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes June 25, 2018 Page 3 The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning 1 code. The intent of the zoning code is to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the city 2 and its people through the establishment of minimum regulations governing land development 3 and use. The zoning code is established to protect the use districts; promote orderly development 4 and redevelopment; provide adequate light, air and access to property; prevent congestion in the 5 public streets; prevent overcrowding of land and undue concentration of structures by regulating 6 land, buildings, yards, and densities; and provide for compatibility of different land uses. The 7 addition proposed by the applicant does not in any way conflict with the spirit or intent of St. 8 Anthony’s zoning code. The impact to surrounding property owners and community members 9 will be negligible, and will not be harmful to the health, safety or general welfare of the 10 neighborhood – Criterion met. 11 12 Ms. Rothstein summarized staff recommends approval of the requested variances at 3531 Silver 13 Lake Road with the following conditions: 14 15 1.
