temponary membrane stnrcture, tent, or canopy being used for cooking or public assembly, unless treared
with flame retnrdant in an approved manner'
lg. The subject tent ws$ found to be l7 feet from the hotcl struc'ture, prodominately of UBC Type I
construction, and limited ferrostrmiorr. The configuration of the tent f,nd yard does not allow the strict
application of the code-required 20'foot setback from n sbucture'
The following findings are declared by this oftFtce:
l. That ..practical difficulties" do exist for the zubject prope_rlr which do not allow reasonable
alternative location of rhe tent to mest the stict application ofthe setback requirernent; and,
2, That an administrativc variancc from thc *ntrino setback requirements would not bs detriment
to rhe public welfare or lesssfl the hoalth, life-safety and fire safety provisions of the site, and will
maintiin the intont and purposes ofthe Uniforrn Firc, and;
3, The variance will not oonstitrrtc a grant of special priviloge.
Thelefore, it is the administrativo determination of this office thaf the 1? foot proposed setbnck is
approved.
