Parcel Map FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: Criterion No. i• That there have been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying 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 pruperty consists of a single family residence on an extremely small lot, 40 feet by 46 feat containing 1,840 square feet. The lot is nonconforming for lot size and width since the code requires a minimum of fifty feet of width and 5000 square feet of lot area. Since this property is nonconforming in so many ways, it is difficult to make a deterinination as to the yard orientations; however, the zoning code defines front yard as the space extending across the width of the lot; therefore, the north side of the existing house which faces the alley is considered the front yard of this property.
