Excerpt from the General Plan FIIiDrNC-� ]l*!A CONL'��sZONS• Criterion No. i: That there have been exceptienal or extraordinary circumstances. or conditions applyinq to the subject property or as to the in-• tended use thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity or zone. a. Findina: The subject property consists of three seperate va-• cant lots, each slightly more than 6,200 square feet in araa. The zoninq is R-3, Multiple Family Low Density Residential which requires 1500 square feet of lot area per dwellinq unit. Each lot has the potential Lor four dvellinq units if all zoning code requirements are t�et. The property is bainq marketed and the potential purchaser wishes to construct a four plex on each lot. The Applicant feels that in order to be able to get four units on each lot, he must have a vari- ance for rear setback. Since the site is vacant, there is a great deal of deaiqn flexibility available and it should be possible to desiqn a project to meet all zoninq code requirements without obtnin- ing a variance. The site plan submitted by the applicant is purely speculative and does not make any provision for a us- able front yard and the ten foot rear yard area is not ad- equate to provide any usable open space as is customary in : this vicinity and zone.
