A. Upon completion of the hearing, the Planning Commission may either approve, conditionally approve or deny the request. In approving any variance, the Planning Commission shall impose such conditions as will assure that the variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is located. The Planning Commission may impose any additional conditions it may deem necessary to ensure closer compliance with the objectives of this title. However, no condition may require the dedication of land for any purpose not reasonably related to the use of the property for which the variance is requested, nor the posting of a bond to guarantee installation of public improvements not reasonably related to the use of the property for which the variance is requested.

B. An approval shall indicate whether the variance is to attach to a specific use or whether it attaches to any use of the property as permitted by the governing zone regulation.

C. A complete record of each variance proceeding shall be maintained and shall be forwarded to the Council upon an appeal. The record of the hearing shall expressly set forth the findings of fact and the conclusions which support the decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a variance request. The Planning Commission shall deny the variance request if it is unable to make the findings or draw the conclusions which satisfy each of the criteria set out in Larkspur Municipal Code Section 18.72.045. (Ord. 1030 § 2(12), 2018; Ord. 543 § 4, 1976; Ord. 295 § 214, 1962)
