considered by the Planning Commission.
Section 3. Based on the evidence received at the public hearing, the Planning Commission
makes the following factual findings:

following findings:
1. The existing nonconformities to be maintained are not significant or unusual in regards to
compatibility with neighboring properties;

zoning requirements for the R-1 zone and does not warrant requiring the current
nonconforming side and front yard, to be brought into conformance;

of the Zoning Ordinance;

50% expansion, subject to the following Conditions of Approval:
1. The project shall be consistent with submitted plans. Modifications to the plans
which do not involve any further expansion shall be reviewed and may be approved
