Findings of Fact
The Board of County Commissioners consider and found to be consistent the following
findings of fact in making their decision:
The application of UDC chapter 23.04 Zoning Districts (would) deny all economically
viable or beneficial uses of the property, absent a demonstration by the county that the
proposed use(s) are prohibited by the laws of nui<ance or other pre-existing limits on the
property which prohibit such use(s).
2. There (are not) other reasonable uses to which the property can be put.
3. The proposed use or development (does not pose) an unreasonable threat to the harm
sought to be avoided by the application of this Chapter or the public health, safety or
welfare on or off the site for which the reasonable use exception is sought.
4. The inability of the applicant to derive reasonable use of the property (is not) the result of
actions by the applicant in subdividing the property or adjusting a boundary line thereby
creating the un -developable condition after the eflective date of this chapter.

5. The use exception being sought (is) the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable uses
of the property.

and other chapters of the GCC and the public interest.
