Report of Planning Commission read, stating Planning Commission held a public hearing on above application at meeting of June 28th and motion to grant variance lost for lack of a second. Absence of action to grant was declared to be as an action to deny. Report of Staff Analysis stated applicant owns two adjacent lots with an existing apartment extending approximately 3 feet over the dividing property line. Applicant proposed to remove portion of apartment and construct medical clinic on corner lot. There are also four other single family dwellings on this parcel. Report further described the site as containing four completely substandard garages. Applicant proposes to retain buildings until some indefinite future date, at which time he proposes to demolish complex and expand his medical clinic onto this lot also. Approving construction as proposed would be giving tacit approval to several existing nonconforming conditions on interior lot: 1. Distance between buildings less than 10 feet. 2. Four dwellings with 4 -foot side yards. 3. One dwelling with no side yard on one end; the other end with a 216" side yard, and a rear yard depth of 4 feet. 4. More than 40% coverage of required rear yard. 5. Completely inadequate parking, since the four garage spaces are for below standard size.
