lot or exceed the allowed floor area by up to five hundred (500) square feet or the
allowed site coverage by up to five (5) pereent~ HPC may grant such variances after
making a finding that such variation is more compatible in character with the

accessory dwelling units pursuant to Section 26.40.090(B)(2).
2. Standard: The proposed development reflects and is consistent with the
character of the neighborhood of the parcel proposed for development.
