Conclusion: The proposed addition will not be materially <br /> detrimental to the property in the area of the subject <br /> property or to the City as a whole. <br /> 3. That the variance will only grant the subject property the <br /> same general rights enjoyed by other property in the same <br /> area and zone as the subject property. <br /> Findings: Other restaurants with live entertainment in the <br /> C-1R and C-1 zones would be permitted to expand with an <br /> administrative review, if they are located more than 100 <br /> feet from a residential zone. Any expansions of restaurants <br /> located less than 100 feet from a residential zone must be <br /> reviewed using Review Process III.B. All such expansions <br /> would be reviewed on their own merits. <br /> Conclusion: The variance would not grant any special <br /> property rights or privileges. <br /> 4. That the variance is the minimum necessary to allow the <br /> subject property the general rights described in Criterion <br /> 3. <br /> Finding: See findings under Variance Criterion #1, above. <br /> Conclusion: The proposed addition represents the minimum <br /> necessary to allow the subject property the general rights <br /> described in Criterion 3 . <br /> 5. The granting of the variance is not inconsistent with the <br /> goals and policies of the Everett General Plan. <br /> Finding: Consistency of the proposal with the goals and <br /> policies of the General Plan is discussed above under <br /> Expansion of Nonconforming Building Criterion #9. <br /> Conclusion: The proposal is consistent with the goals and <br /> policies of the Everett General Plan. <br /> 6. The need for the requested variance is not the result of a <br /> self-created hardship. <br /> Findings: When the existing structure was built in 1985, <br /> there were no zoning regulations requiring restaurants with <br /> live entertainment to be set back 100 feet from <br /> residentially zoned property. In addition, there were no <br /> provisions limiting expansion of nonconforming buildings to <br /> 25% Under current zoning standards, a restaurant with live <br /> entertainment could not be built in the present location. <br /> Since the existing building is nonconforming, the only way <br /> it can be expanded is through a public hearing process. <br /> 7 <br />
