Indicate what facts in the case of this application support each of the findings. These findings that you provide will be included with the Staff Reports that are distributed to members at the Planning Commission. 1. Because of the special circumstances applicable to the property, including size,shape,topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning regulations deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. Due to the size of the property,the location of the Stockton East Water District Canal, and accessibility issues with planting and harvesting equipment, it is rohibitive for the owner to plant in this area. The strict application of the zoning regulations deprives him of a substantial amount of agricultural area that can be utilized. Other owners are not encumbered by this situation and enjoy the ability to plant and harvest the full extent of their respective properties. 2. The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated. The granting of the Variance does not confer any special privileges as other property owners do not have the same encumbrances, i.e. , due to the Stockton East Water District Canal separating a portion of their parcels from the main portion. i F:IDEVSVCIPianning Application FormsWariance.doc.(Revised 5-11-09) Page 5 of 7
