Comparison Area — Lot Coverages <br />REVIEW CRITERIA: <br />The BOA has authority to grant or deny a variance request based on the review criteria <br />found in Municipal Code Sections 17.48.110.B.1-6. The applicant has provided a written <br />analysis of the variance criteria (see attached Application Materials). Following is staff's <br />analysis of the criteria with recommended findings on each. <br />1. That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions such as irregularity, <br />narrowness or shallowness of lot, or exceptional topographical or other physical <br />conditions peculiar to the affected property. <br />Staff finds the subject lot is 5,313 square feet smaller than the minimum allowed lot size of <br />12,000 square feet. Generally, in the LMC, as minimum lot sizes get smaller, maximum lot <br />coverage allowances increase. In this case, the maximum lot coverage is mismatched to <br />the lot size. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. <br />2. That the unusual circumstances or conditions do not exist throughout the <br />neighborhood or district in which the property is located. <br />Staff finds that the subject property, while not unusual in the neighborhood of Centennial 8, <br />it is unusual for the zone district (RE), which requires a minimum lot size of 12,000 square <br />feet. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. <br />3. That because of such physical circumstances or conditions, the property cannot <br />reasonably be developed in conformity with the provisions of Title 17 of the <br />Louisville Municipal Code. <br />6 <br />
