proposed location.
Section 2: That this variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant, which right is possessed by other property
owners under like conditions in the same zoning district since the addition's height is
necessary for the function of the storage area.

public welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the area in which the property
is located since no significant view obstruction will occur due to the location of the
addtion.
Section 4: That granting this variance is not contrary to the objectives of the
General Plan.. The addition will not significantly obstruct the adjacent residence's
views.
Section 5: For the foregoing reasons, the Planning Commission of the City of
