The granting of the Conditional Exception will not constitute a grant of a special privilege inconsistent upon other properties in the vicinity and under an identical zone classification. 4. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone classifications. 5. The granting of a conditional exception is necessary in order to • preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. Minutes: H.B.
