The Ciry finds that the subject parcel has exceptional or extraordinary circumstances based upon the foilowing; . l it is a small lot with a total area of only 3,072 sq.ft.; b) it is triangular in shape with the deepest portion of the lot measuring only 54 feet in depth along the soud� property line then tapering down to a depth of only 17 feet at the north property line of the site. c) Once the standard zoning code setbacks of 20 feet from the front and rear properry lines and 5 foot setbacks from the side properry lines is applied to the subject properry, only a very shallow and unusable building site is left. This resultant building site is triangular in shape and measures 10 feet at its deepest portion along the south setback line tapering down to zero at the north providing a maximum building footprint of 115 sq.ft The subject parcel has been certified as a legal non- conforming lot (REVIHOI-005) by the City of Everei.. b. Conclusions:. The subject properry has exceptional cvcumstances because it is a site that is triangular in shape rather than the typical rectangular lot configuration. It is very limited in lot depth dimensions as well as overall lot area. An application of the stanJard zoning setbacks would result in only a 115 sq.ft. building site.
