(may attach documentation)
Indicate below or attach separate pages showing how your application meets the legal criteria for a variance. (A variance is
authorized only for height, area, and size of the structure, size of yards and open spaces, signage, landscaping, or as otherwise
specifically provided for in the Cascade County Zoning Regulations. Establishment or expansion of a use otherwise prohibited shall
not be allowed by variance, nor shall a variance be granted because of the presence of non-conformities in the zoning district or
adjoining zoning districts.)
1) Explain how this variance request from the Cascade County Zoning Regulations will not be contrary to the public interest.
