FINDINGS OF FACT
1. 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 nuisance 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 Dose 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 effective date of this chapter.
