5.9 The variance, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: Although approving this variance would create a parcel that has less width and square footage than others in the general vicinity, it is not a departure from past Council action. Three additional parcels have been created since the land was originallyplatted none meeting the requirements of the current Code. All are similar in shape and size to the Beauclaire proposal. The Community Development Staff has determined that a lot depth and lot variance for each parcel, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. �.� RECOMMENDATIONS: ri. f The Community Development Staff z-ecarni��e�ds: a. approval of a 25 foot lot width variance and a 1,820 sq. ft. lot size variance to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for new Parcel "A", and if requested, side yard variances will be required rather than setback permits. b. approval of a 25 foot lot depth and a 1,580 sq. ft. lot size variance Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for pre-existing non conforming Parcel " B , c. approval of a minor subdivision to allow the creation of two substandard residential parcels for property located at 1758 Alta Vista Drive The recommendations are based on the findings in Section 5 of the project report dated April 25, 2005 and the following conditions: a.
