Date of Hearing: Applicant Name: MADEIRA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION VARIANCE REQUEST WORK SHEET Property located at: Type of Variance Requested: (1) Will the property in question yield a reasonable return or can there be any beneficial use of the property without the variance? (2) Is the variance necessary to preserve a substantial property right (the reasonable enjoyment and use of the property) which is already possessed by the owners of other properties in the same area? (3) Are there exceptional or extraordinary conditions which apply to the subject property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same area?_ (4) Would the essential character of the neighborhood be substantially altered or would adjoining properties suffer a substantial detriment as a result of the variance? (5) Would the variance adversely affect the delivery of governmental services (e.g. water, sewer, garbage)? (6) Were the applicable zoning restrictions in place when the property was purchased or acquired by the applicant? Did the applicant have a reasonable means of determining what zoning restrictions were in effect at the time the property was acquired? (7) Can the property owner s predicament feasibly be obviated through some method other than a variance (such as a zoning change or redesign of the proposed plan)? (8) Can the spirit and intent behind the zoning requirement be observed and substantial justice done if the variance is granted?
