The city council shall not approve variances unless it first makes findings based upon the evidence in each specific case that:
A. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare, or injurious to other adjoining properties;
B. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographic conditions of the specific property involved, an undue hardship to the owner would result if the strict letter of this title were enforced;
C. The variance will not cause a substantial increase in public costs; and
D. The variance will not in any manner place the subdivision in nonconformance with any adopted zoning regulations or the comprehensive plan. (Ord. 570 (part), 2002)
