Granting the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />The visual impact of the light well on the exterior of the property is <br />minimal, as the light well will extend no more than three feet into the side <br />yard setback and is less than three feet high. <br />d. Economic considerations alone are not the basis of the practical <br />difficulties. The proposed location is the most logical and best suited to <br />allow natural light to enter the basement of the building. <br />e. Granting the variance is consistent with the city's comprehensive land use <br />plan and is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the City's <br />Zoning Code relating to protecting the use districts.
