nonsignificant with regard to the requirements of the "Palm Desert Environmental
Quality Procedure Resolution Number 74-14".
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments, the Planning Commission did find that the following
facts and reasons to exist to justify the granting of said variance:
1. Special circumstances or conditions are applicable to the property
or intended use that do not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity
which are under identical zoning classification, SUCH AS: this lot is only
75' wide and has only 10,000 sq. ft. where other lots in the same zone have
20,000 sq. ft.
2. The granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public health, safety, welfare or infurious to the property or improvements
in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located, because other lots
in the area have setbacks on the side of 5' as allowed by the property owners.
3. The granting of such variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan.
4. The granting of this variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by other property
in the same vicinity and zones which would be denied to the property because
