That the applicant cannot realize a reasonable financial return on initial investment for any currently permitted use on the property. “Dollars & cents” proof must be submitted as evidence. The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return for the following reasons: A. Submit the following financial evidence relating to this property (attach additional evidence as needed): 1) Date of purchase:Purchase amount: $ 2) Indicate dates and costs of any improvements made to property after purchase: Date Improvement Cost 3) Annual maintenance expenses: $4) Annual taxes: $ 5) Annual income generated from property: $ 6) City assessed value: $ Equalization rate: Estimated Market Value: $ 7) Appraised Value: $ Appraiser: Date: N/A N/A Revised ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 4 B.

That the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Changes that will alter the character of a neighborhood or district would be at odds with the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. The requested variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood for the following reasons: 4. That the alleged hardship has not been self-created. An applicant (whether the property owner or one acting on behalf of the property owner) cannot claim “unnecessary hardship” if that hardship was created by the applicant, or if the applicant acquired the property knowing (or was in a position to know) the conditions for which the applicant is seeking relief. The hardship has not been self-created for the following reasons: N/A Revised ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 6 AAREA VARIANCE – PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING (add additional information as necessary): The applicant requests relief from the following Zoning Ordinance article(s) Dimensional Requirements 'LVWULFW5HTXLUHPHQW 5HTXHVWHG Other: To grant an area variance, the ZBA must balance the benefits to the applicant and the health, safety, and welfare of the neighborhood and community, taking into consideration the following: 1. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by other feasible means. Identify what alternatives to the variance have been explored (alternative designs, attempts to purchase land, etc.) and why they are not feasible. 2. Whether granting the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. Granting the variance will not create a detriment to nearby properties or an undesirable change in the neighborhood character for the following reasons: VIH[LVWLQJVIQHZ § 240-4.3 Residential mixed-use districts standards. Minimum Building Height Maximum cumulative area of new & existing one-story structure Minimum front build-to zone Minimum build-out percentage 24' 3,000 SF 18' 50% ±12.5' average (11.5' reduction) ±4,000 SF ±248' from PL (230' increase) 0% (100% relief) Concepts for expanding the existing structure were examined and due to the cost constraints and the need to maintain operations during the construction of the new structure, the proposed option is the most viable to achieve the applicant's goals. Interior renovations are anticipated once the new building is completed. Area variance relief would be required for any expansion of the facility due to its existing building site, location and desired function to have patrons enter to the rear of the structure. Granting of the requested variances will not change the character or context of the neighborhood nor will it cause a detriment to the nearby properties which currently are utilized for light industrial, residential, office, and recreational purposes. The proposed new structure will not be visible from the street and will appear as an accessory structure to the main building. Revised ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 7 3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons: 4. Whether the variance will have adverse physical or environmental effects on neighborhood or district. The requested variance will not have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district for the following reasons: 5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created (although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance). Explain whether the alleged difficulty was or was not self-created: The variance requests are designed to not be substantial and are largely due to the change of zoning criteria that has occurred since the initial purchase and approved uses for this site. The rear location and size of the proposed structure has been designed to provide the minimum requirement needed for the operations of the Applicant. The requested variances have been designed to not cause adverse physical or environmental impact to the neighborhood. The proposed structure location is in part located on areas of existing pavement and areas previously disturbed so as to minimize impacts to permeability and impervious areas as well as to preserve existing vegetative buffers and screening to the site. The alleged variances are self-created. However, compliance with the current UDD Zoning dimensional criteria conflicts with the mission, security and operations of this users needs that were revised and approved previously under the SWAD zoning at the time of and initial adaptive reuse of the property and at the time of purchase.
