Site Plan The following findings and conclusions are based on the criteria • established in E.M.C. 19.70.060 (A). • 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 sone ELODINGL The property consists of a 3,120 square foot, two-story, flat roofed, existing commercial structure constructed in the early 1900's as a grocery store on a 3000 square foot lot. The building was later remodeled, adding an apartment on the second floor and one on the first floor, leaving 770 square feet for the grocery on the first floor. In 1961 the grocery store was converted to a beauty shop. The beauty shop use was a less intensive use than the grocery store since it was a one person shop and the parking require- ■ent would have been for a total of five spaces, three for the residential use and two for t?e beauty shop. Since there were only two off-street parking spaces on the site, the parking was nonconforming by three spaces.
