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. The property is in a unique location and surrounded by multiple parcels that are inconsistent with the zoning of AG-40. (See attached Exhibits B-1 &B-2). Specifically,out of the 40 total parcels there are only 3 parcels that are 40 acres or more and 34 of the 40 parcels are at 20 acres or less. 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. a) Due to its unique location and surroundings,the property would enjoy no more than the privileges already enjoyed by the properties adjacent to, in the vicinity of,and in the same zone as the property. b) All but 3 of the 40 parcels are well below the 40 acre minimum and 34 of the 40 parcels are below 20 acres. c) The granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege as the use is consistent with the majority of the other existing uses in the immediate area. d) The Planning Commission has previously approved a Variance for a factual situation analogous to ours.
