NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION finds as follows: 1. That a hardship peculiar to the property and not created by any act of the owner exists. The Planning Commission has accepted evidence submitted by the applicant that the non-conforming satellite dish cannot be brought into conformance with the ordinance by placing it within the rear yard due to blockage 'of reception to the dish by buildings and landscaping within the rear yard. 2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other properties in the same zoning district and in the same vic~m ty, and that a variance, if granted would not constitute a special privilege of the recipient not enjoyed by his neighbors. Since the Planning Commission has accepted the evidence presented by the applicant that the satellite dish cannot be placed in the rear yard without loss of reception, granting of the variance is necessary to allow the applicant to maintain a satellite dish on the property; which is a substantial property right possessed by other properties vaithin the same zone and vicinity. 3. That the authorizing of such variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property, and will not be of substantial detriment to - adjacent property, and will not materially impair the purposes of this chapter of the public interest. The authorizing of this variance maintains an existing condition which in the viewpoint of the Planning Commission will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property. 4. That the authorizing of such variance will not adversely affect the general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any governmental agency. The authorizing of this variance will not have an effect upon the general plan of the City.
