The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested: Variance in both the allowed height and overall sign area for proposed monument sign. 2. This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions: Special Condition Definition: To justify a variance, the difficulty must be due to unique circumstances involving the particular property. The unique circumstances must be related to a physical characteristic of the property itself, not to the owner's personal situation. This is because regardless of ownership, the variance will run with the land. Example: A creek bisecting a lot, a smaller buildable area than is seen on surrounding lots, specimen trees. Note: A cul-de-sac is a standard street layout in College Station. The shape of standard cul-de-sac lots are generally not special conditions. Current R-f zoning doesn't allow for freestanding sign of the required height and size for adequate visibility given the church is located on State Highway 6. 3. The unnecessary hardship(s) involved by meeting the provisions of the ordinance other than financial hardship is/are: Hardship Definition: The inability to make reasonable use of the property in accord with the literal requirements of the law. The hardship must be a direct result of the special condition. Example: A hardship of a creek bisecting a lot could be the reduction of the buildable area on the lot, when compared to neighboring properties. Inadequate visibility of sign that denotes church name, address, denomination and upcoming events. Visibility hardship has an adverse effect on current parishioners, future parishioners and visitors. 4. The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible: There are no other viable sign options given current zoning. 5. This variance will not be contrary to the public interest by virtue of the following facts: Monument sign will be consistent with other churches and businesses located on Stated Highway 6.
