That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a, substantial property right of the applicant. Response: Substantial property right refers to the right to use the property in a manner which is on par with uses allowed to other property owners which are in the ,vicinity and have a like'zoning. The purpose of the variance is to restore parity where the strict applica- tion of the zoning law deprives property owners of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity in and under identical zoning classification. In this case the strict application of the zoning ordinance would deprive the property owner of 'privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zoning classifica- tion. Specifically. other property owners have been granted waivers from the San Bernardino Municipal Code relative to off-street parking requirements. C. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the zoning district and neighborhood in which the property is located. Response: In determining the application for a variance. the best interest of the entire community is the controlling factor. rather than the suitability or adaptability of the property in question for a particular use.
