NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
Add 4th APARTMENT by finishing basement

CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The designated Zoning Administrator granted the Finding based on the materials and graphics submitted with the application hearing.
The Findings of the Board Administrator under Section 9.3 for reconstruction of a basement apartment were as follows:
1. The Administrator found that the change would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
nonconforming ground floor residence in the GB zone.
2. The Administrator found that the home 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 the
change would not preclude the ground floor from being converted to commercial use in the future.
