The application to split a portion of Subject Property C off for sale <br />to the adjoining property (Subject Property A) creates neither new nor remedies any existing legal <br />nonconformities, therefore no variance application is required. A variance application may be <br />required if and when the property owner chooses to submit an application to address lot lines <br />associated with Subject Properties B and C. <br /> <br />The updated staff recommendation to the Planning Commission is to consider Mr. Ashbach’s <br />withdrawal of the application requesting the lot line adjustment and to proceed with a <br />recommendation to the City Council regarding the lot split. Images reflecting the existing (Figure <br />1) and future (Figures 2-4) property conditions are shown below. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
