FINDINGS FOR DEVIATION PA-1500248 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 application will not be detrimental to other properties or land uses in the area. The use of the property will remain in agriculture and an agricultural storage building is a permitted use in the AU-20 zone. The change in the required front yard setback from a 55 feet from the centerline of Snyder Lane to 35 feet from the centerline of Snyder Lane will not change the look or character of the neighborhood or prevent the surrounding property owners from enjoying the full use of their property. 2. There are exceptional 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 property is below zone minimum and is a corner lot, located at the corner of Snyder Lane and State Route 88, which results in increased setbacks and less buildable area on site. Snyder Lane has a width of 25 feet, therefore, setbacks are increased from 30 feet from the front property line to 55 feet from the centerline of the road, resulting in a 42.5 foot setback from the front property line along Snyder Lane. The majority of the property is planted in walnut trees, and also contains two existing single family residences, accessory buildings, and a power pole along the western portion of the property. Due to the property's location, increased setbacks, and existing structures, suitable building area is limited. 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 the strict application deprives the property owner of the right to construct an agricultural storage building, which is a permitted use in the AU-20 zone. Development Title Section 9-824.2(a)(1) allows up to a forty percent reduction of the required front and side yard setbacks without a public hearing. 4. The granting of the Deviation is consistent with the General Plan. This finding can be made because the Deviation does not result in an increase in the General Plan density for General Agricultural properties nor does it change any intended use permitted in the zone.
