vast majority of the neighborhood is zoned R-2, including R-3, RC and NC directly to the
south along Wadsworth.
2. The granting ofthis variance will not be detrimental, in itself, to the public welfare or
injurious to other properties or improvements in the area.
3. The additional units will not impair the adequate supply oflight or air to adjacent
properties nor should it significantly increase congestion in the public streets.
4. This request entails approximately a .2% variance.
5. The applicant has made significant effort to minimize this variance request by acquiring
602 square feet along the Wadsworth Boulevard frontage from the Colorado Department
of Transportation. Applicant further testified that CDOT has declined to sell further
frontage to acquire the shortage of 24.9 square feet.
6. The footprint of the current structure will not be increased in dimension as a result of the
vanance.
