VARIANCE FINDINGS
APPELLANT: Eugenia Lucio De Pena CASE NO: BA 1548
DATE OF HEARING: April 28, 2008
The undersigned, as a member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment has taken into account, among other things, the
character and use of adjoining buildings and those in the vicinity, the number of persons residing or working in such
buildings or upon such land and traffic conditions in the vicinity of such property, and makes the following findings:
1. There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land or building for which the variance is sought, which
circumstances or conditions are peculiar to such land or buildings and do not apply generally to lands or buildings in the
same zone or neighborhood, and that said circumstances or conditions are such that the strict application of the provisions
of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of such land or buildings; and,
2. The granting of such variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or substantially or permanently Injurious to
the property or improvements in such zone or neighborhood in which the property is located; and,
3. The granting of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the land or building and that the variance as granted
by the Board Is the minimum variance that will accomplish this purpose; and,
4. The literal enforcement and strict application of the provisions of the zoning ordinance will result in unnecessary
hardship inconsistent with the general provisions and intent of such ordinance and that in granting such variance the spirit
of the ordinance will be preserved and substantial justice done.
5. The following conditions are necessary to secure substantially the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
