It was moved by Councilman McMains, seconded by COuncilman McAllister, and carried that the City Attorney be authorized to pre- pare the necessary resolution for the next meeting over-riding the action 6f the Planning Commission and granting the zone variance with the following findings of fact: 1. That an unnecessary hardship exists by virtue of the particular location and size of said lot, imposing dif£iculties in the utilizing of the existing structure for either R-1 use or R-3 use as permitted by the zone. 2. That in order to preserve a substantial prop- erty right of the owners the use as requested should be granted because none of the permitted uses are suitable to the structure or the area. 3. That such a use variance is not contrary to the intent or purpose of the ordinance but will permit a proper and sound interim use. 4. The use as requested will not be materially detrimental to the surrounding area in that there will be no increased traffic or parking problems and the par- ticular use is compatible with residential development and would not constitute an intrusion of commercial ac- tivity into a residential area. ~UBLIC HEARING - Bonita Cove Annexation No. 2 This being the time and place, as advertised, for a public hearing on the proposed Bonita Cove Annexation, Mayor Anderson de- clared the hearing open.
