That there have been exeeptional or extraordinary cireumstances or conditions applying to Lhe sub�ect property or an to the intended use , thereof that do not apply generally to other propertie3 in the same ', vicinity or zone. i i IA. Finding: City zoning code defines ^Gross Floor Area Ratio" as , � the sum of all the floors of a building divided by tha lot �I I area. The City feels a more reasonable way to limit lot � � coverage xould be to consider the footprint of the building as i , the basis for figuring gross floor area ratio since there is ' � already a height limitation that controls the n�ber of � � floors. In the past, the gross floor area ratio has not been j uniformly enforced; however, the City feels that rather than ! ' disregarding the code it is more appropriate to consider ;� applications for varianee on an individual basis until the ;i zoning code is changed. i In this case the Applicant is proposing a two-story house and , �� the actual footprint of the structure (1,753 sq. ft.) will � cover only 27¢ of the 8,550 sq. ft. lot. :I � Conclusion: The vaMance as proposed by the Applicant appears , to be a reasonable request. ,I �i I � , il i I I �
