Johnson Estate Reasonable Use Exception Resolution # 2002 -105 -CC
7) Reasonable Use Exception approval shall be contingent upon conformance with all
applicable land use rules and regulations in effect as of May 16, 2002.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1) The application of the 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 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 effective date of this chapter.
5) The use exception being sought is the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable
uses of the property.
6) Such use exception being sought is consistent with the general purposes of this
chapter and other chapters of the GCC and the public interest.
Done this(_ day of 2002.
