Finding from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
EMAIL ADDRESS:
NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
ZPA - REBUILD Multi-family structure (BLDG 21)
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1)Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall show compliance with the lighting
standards as required in the zoning ordinance.
FINDINGS:
The designated Zoning Administrator granted the Finding based on the materials and graphics submitted with the application and
described during the hearing.
The Findings of the Board Administrator under Section 9.3 for the reconstruction of the multi-family building that was destroyed by fire
were as follows:
1. The Administrator found that the change would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
nonconforming use on the lot. The applicant proposed to rebuild the same footprint, square footage and number of units as in the
structure prior to the fire.
2. The Administrator found that the building would not extend any closer to any front, side, or rear property boundary than the current
zoning allows and that the pre-existing structure already extends.
3. The Administrator also determined that the new construction would not create any new violation of other zoning provisions; and does
not involve a sign.
