FINDINGS FOR DEVIATION PA -2300007 WAJDY SHARMOUG / ZIGGY ' S INC . 1 . The granting of the Deviation will not be materially detrimental to other properties or land uses in the area . • This finding can be made because the granting of the Deviation will not have a detrimental effect on other properties or land uses in the area . The zoning of the property will remain General Commercial ( C - G ) and will not affect the zoning of the surrounding residential parcels . The reduction in the minimum side yard setback from 20 feet to 12 feet will not change the look or character of the site and the existing solid masonry wall will moderate any possible impact to neighboring properties . Additionally , the reduction the side yard setback will not prevent the surrounding property owners from enjoying the full use of their properties . 2 . There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended uses that do not apply to other properties in the same zoning district in the vicinity . • This finding can be made because the subject parcel is 0 . 33 -acres in size which is smaller than other C - G zoned parcels in the vicinity in the county ' s jurisdiction . The average parcel size of the 42 C - G zoned parcels in a 1 -mile radius of the subject parcel is 0 . 97 acres . The median parcel size of the same parcels is 0 . 5 acres . The small size of the parcel limits its development potential . Additionally , the subject parcel abuts residential uses on 2 sides which increases the side and rear yard building setbacks from zero to 20 feet , further restricting development on the small parcel . Commercially -zoned parcels that do not abut residential uses have a zero side and rear yard setback which allows more development on a parcel . Finally , the subject parcel is a corner lot with 2 street sides and , therefore , 2 street side setbacks of 20 feet , further reducing development area on the parcel . 3 . The strict application of the regulation deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity . • This finding can be made because other properties in the vicinity that are zoned CMG and do not abut parcels that are residentially -zoned or developed do not have 20 -foot side and rear yard setbacks . Additionally , most other commercially -zoned parcels in the vicinity do not have 2 street sides with 20 -foot setbacks . Therefore , other properties are not as limited in development area as is the subject parcel . 4 . The proposed use is consistent with the goals , policies , standards , and maps of the General Plan ; any applicable Master Plan , Specific Plan , and Special Purpose Plan ; and any other applicable plan adopted by the County . • This finding can be made because , although the proposed 8 -foot encroachment into the 20 - foot side yard setback is less than the standard development requirement , this requirement is from the Development Title , not the General Plan . Therefore , the proposed deviation does not conflict with the goals , policies , standards , and maps of the General Plan , Specific Plan , and Special Purpose Plan , nor any other applicable plan adopted by the County .
