The Applicant will charge the same amount for the Project's units with, or without, the requested bay - window treatment, such that the hardship is not economic. The Project has already been approved, such that the variance is not being deliberately created to establish such a use or structure. (5) Granting of the variances requested conveys the same treatment to the Applicant as to the owners of other lands, buildings or structures in the same zoning district. Granting these variances conveys the same treatment to the Applicant as to other owners in the district. If the request is approved, it would allow development to proceed on the Property within the established requirements of the LDRs that. would be compatible with surrounding structures. Likewise, other developments within the district do not have the salve connection to adjacent and contiguous properties. (6) The variance, if granted, is the minimum variance that allows for the reasonable use of the Property. The requested variance and its attendant increase in unit square footage does not exceed the square footage already approved. for the site. (7) The grant of the variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the LDRs, is not injurious to the neighborhood or.otherwise detrimental to the public safety and welfare, and will not substantially diminish or impair property values in the vicinity. The requested relief is: (a) in harmony with the general intent of the MU-R Zoning District by permitting the continued redevelopment of the shoreline with upscale residential and mixed -use towers; (b) necessitated by the preexisting special conditirpns noted above; , and (e) will not have any detrimental impact on the surrounding area. This approval would neither impair nor diminish property values but rather increase values. The grant of the variance would allow the project to have a unique look and would enhance the views of buildings to the north and south of the tower.
