Before a variance may be granted, the following findings must be made:
(A) That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance would deprive such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under an identical zoning classification;
(B) That any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated;
(C) That the granting of a variance will not result in material damage or prejudice to other property nor be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to persons in the vicinity thereof;
(D) That the granting of such variance is consistent with the General Plan of the City;
(E) That the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning for the property for which the variance is sought.
