The decision of the zoning administrator shall be in writing and shall state the reasons therefor. In granting a variance, the following findings shall be made:

  • (a) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not apply generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity;

  • (b) That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located;

  • (c) That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone or vicinity;

  • (d) That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan.

Any variance granted shall be subject to conditions necessary to assure that the variance thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated.
