That there have been exceptional or extraordinary aireumstanoes or Qonditiona applying to the subjeat property or as to the intended u�e thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vioinity or zone. Findings City zoning code definea "Groea Floor Area Ratio" ae the aum of ali the rioors of a building divided by the lot area. The City feela a more reasonable way to limit lot ooverage would be to oon�ider the footprint oP the building aa the baala for figuring groas floor area ratio ainoe there is already a height limitation that oontrole the n�mmber of flooro. In the paat, the groas floor area ratio has not been uniformly enforced; however, the City feela that rather than diaregarding the aode it is more appropriate to consider applioations for varianoe on an individual basis until the zoning aode ia ahanged. The exi�ting garaga will be demolished and the addition rrill provide a nex garage with living spaae above. The aetual footprint of the structure will aover only 27� of the 6�500 sq. ft. lot. Conelusions The varianoe as proposed by the Applioant appeara to be a reaeonable requeet.
