City Council finds: (a) That the general plan of the City provides for medium density of development of the area in question; (b) That the zoning on the property in question and the surround- ing neighborhood is for single family residential use; (c) That the general character of the neighborhood is developed and used for single family residences; (d) That multiple dwellings upon the property in question would be incompatible with the uses on the adjoining property and the uses generally developed within the neighborhood, and that such uses upon the adjoining property and generally within the neighborhood are for single family residential use and not multiple dwellings. SECTION 2. The City Council concludes: (a) That the exception as requested, if granted, would constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limita- tions upon other properties and zoned in which the property is located; (b) That an application of the provisions of the chapter would not deprive the owner of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity; (c) That the granting of the exception would be inconsistent with the purposes and intent of the existing comprehensive zoning plan.
