See Attached Exhibit A - Legal Description
2. The Board of Zoning Appeals held a public hearing, received
testimony from the public,discussed the application for variances (Case No. 92-
30 -VAR) and, upon finding that the request did not satisfy the Ordinance
necessary for granting a variance, approved Resolution of Denial 7-92 on a vote
of 3-0.
3. On June 1, 1992, the applicant, Benilde-St.Margaret's School, filed
an appeal of this decision to the City Council.
4. On Monday, June 15, 1992, the City Council considered the appeal of
Benilde-St. Margaret's School from the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
5. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions,
light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on values of property in the
surrounding area, and the effect of the proposed variance upon the Comprehensive Plan.
6. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding
property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance
will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, unreasonably
increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the
public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any
other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive
Plan.
7. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are
peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply generally to
other land or structures in the district in which such land is located.
8. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. It will not merely
serve as a convenience to the applicant but is necessary to alleviate
demonstrable hardship or difficulty.
9. The contents of Planning Case File 92 -30 -VAR are hereby entered
into and made part of the public hearing record and the record of decision for
this case.
Conclusion
The application for variances for permitting a 19'6" sign instead of the required
15 feet and to permit a total sign area of 200 square feet instead of the maximum
60 square feet is granted based upon the findings set forth. above, with the
understanding that this approval is good for one calendar year from this date.
