SE (southwest corner of Silver Lake Dr. and Lake Ad.) Variance from E.M.C. 19•14.040, gross Floor Area Ratio to allow construction of a two-story� 2,640 sq. ft. house with a 440 sq. Ct. attached garage on a 5,606 sq. ft. lot whieh would have a gross floor area ratio of .51 instead of the •30 allowed by Code. fl-1, Single Family Reaidential (7�000 sq. lot slze) North: SF/R-1 South: SF/H-1 East: Vacant/A-3 West: SF/R-1 LoW Uensity ft. minimum That there liave been exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to tha subject property or as to the intended use thereof thal: do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity or z�ne. Finding: City zoning code defines "Gross Floor Area Ratio" as the sum of all the floors of a building divided by the lot area. The City feels a more reasonable way to limit lot coverage would be to consider the footprint of the building as the basis for figuring gross floor area ratio slnce there is already a lieight limitation that controls the number of floors. In the past, the gr..�s floor area ratio has not been uniformly enforced; however� the C �y Ceels that rather than disregarding the code it is more apprc riate to consider applications Cor variance on an individual basis unt the zoning code is changed. In this case the Applicant is propo: ..d a two-story house and the actual footprint of the strueture (1�3�1 sq• ft.) W111 cover only 24R of tc;e 5�606 sq. ft. lot. Conclusion: The variance as proposed by ttie Applicant appears to be a reasonable request.
