Attachment 5 since many of the homes to the west along Grandview Avenue were built on parcels of the same width. 3. An unusual hardship on the land exists. With a density of about one dwelling per acre, the existing parcel is slightly below the minimum density of 1.5 dwellings per acre and far below the average density of 4.75 dwellings per acre promoted by the Comprehensive Plan in areas guided for low density residential development like the subject site. Of course, the guidance of the Comprehensive Plan does not obligate the property owner to subdivide the existing parcel but, despite the large area of the subject site, there is a tension between the minimum width requirement of the zoning code and the greater density promoted by the Comprehensive Plan. This tension between the advocacy of the Comprehensive Plan and the constraint of the standard zoning provisions constitutes an unusual hardship, which the subdivision variance process is intended to relieve. 4. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. If the requested subdivision variance is approved, the approval will not alter the essential character of the locality because, as noted previously, this area is characterized by 80-foot wide lots like the proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2.
