variances to Section 842 Blocks. The applicant is requesting variances to the maximum
block length of 800':

4. Proposed Buena Vista street projecting to the east - 938' block length; 138' variance
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations when considering a variance, the Planning and
Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the variance:
1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land;
2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering
this chapter; and
4. That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
