In the case of the administrative variance, it would require less staff time as well as less time spent by the Planning Commission and City Council on RV storage; however, with the administrative variance option the Planning Commission and City Council would not review these variances. When a property owner disagrees with Staff s application of the administrative variance, it could still be appealed to the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends creating criteria that allows alternative locations for RV storage in the event that topographic conditions or lot configuration do not otherwise permit normal location regulations. This process can then be an administrative variance that staff would handle; applying the criteria set forth by the Council. The regulation addressing the variance process would read: G. Alternative locations for storing an RV on a property can be permitted bv the Zoning Administrator with an administrative variance for UP to one (1) RV. when topographic conditions or lot configuration do not allow for the normal location regulations to be met and all of the following criteria are met: 1.
