becssu.se the "its" might r'efor to the Board of Zc4aing Adjustment or the

Mr, Crawford stated that the City 1`Attor s felt that the
3ould astute what the Pla -vg Cciw4sebm wwita to preclude, like the
fact that the Board of 7onina A.Quextmwt many not gaunt variances to

Comae. limml stated that the am anent semed to set up tbxe guide -
linens "practical difficulties,, umiecassary hardships, or reaul.ta
inconsistent with the g;nn oral. rAarposaa of the oa^siinmee." He felt that
at present practical difficulties are not, gam for groAting sa
variance; therefore, would it be possible 'to remord the pmamble to
refl"t the four o tions necessary for the XY' it Wg of a variance,
11r, Crawford explained that the subject opsning paragraph is not ae
basis for grteelfing variances Imt sa atatwAmt of intent for the entire
varimwe section. Ile added that the Board of Oming Adjustmmt cad
grant a variance for height 2vatri ctions, for wmmlas, but it wed
be a violation of the S"-t-a law to allow them to grant "use variances,"
and that than Board would still have to s„ak* the four findings of
Section 1402.
