5. The Planning Commission has determined that a potential sale of the City owned property at 3588 Ridgewood Road would be in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 6. The proposed single-family dwelling would not require a side yard setback variance. 7. The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. Variance Findings: 1. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 2. The variance would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan because it meets the City's housing goal of encouraging redevelopment that is complimentary to and enhances the character of the City's established neighborhoods. 3. A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 4. A single-family dwelling is a reasonable use of the property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the requested variance. 5. The nonconforming lot depth for the R-1 Zoning District is a unique circumstance that is attributed to the dimensions of the Old Snelling Avenue corridor right-of-way (now referred to as Snelling Avenue North) turned over to the City. 6. The proposed single-family dwelling would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the configuration of development on the Subject Property would be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. 7. The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone.
