The general purpose and intent of the ordinance are not met. a. The city determined that 16,000 square feet (sqft) is a reasonable and adequate amount of accessory structure for a parcel this size. The increased square footage is not in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the ordinance. 2. The plight of the petitioner is not due to circumstances unique to the property and is a consequence of the petitioners own action or inaction. a. There are no unique circumstances to the property that would support a variance to exceed the allowed square footage. The petitioner was aware of the size and layout of the existing accessory structure and their needs prior to purchasing the property.
