Docusign Envelope ID:A55C8639-B243-4A2E-936B-FC285083BB45 Criteria for Decision Making Variance(s) - if applicable State statutes and the Zoning Ordinance require that certain standards must be met before a variance can be approved. Please address how the project meets the following criteria: (1)The approval will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community, because: The zoning requirements allow for a 3-story building, so the variance request will not be outside the intent for the use of the property, it will give the building the necessary height to allow for a standard roof pitch of 6:12. (2)The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner, because: The variance is asking for a minimal amount of height increase to allow for a steeper roof slope which will produce a more attractive building massing. (3)The strict application of the terms of this Chapter would result in practical difficulties in the use of the property, because: The strict application would result in a shallower roof pitch or flat roof which would add more waterproofing concerns and a less attractive building form. (4)The variance granted is the minimum necessary, because: In effort to provide a unit count that aligns with the demand of the area and the economic goal of the developer, the orientation requirement requested by the ordinance causes hardship for this subject property. (5)The variance does not correct a hardship caused by a former or current owner of the property, because: The variance will not correct a hardship because the land is vacant.
