Section 12-1617(h) No application or proposal hall be approved or approved with modifications unless the Commission makes the following findings:

(3)Denial of the application will result in unreasonable economic hardship to the owner. In order to approve the application, the Commission must find facts and circumstances, not of the applicant's own making, which establish that there are no feasible measures that can be taken that will enable the property owner to make a reasonable economic beneficial use of the property or derive a reasonable economic return from the property in its current form; or (4)The site is required for a publ ic use which will directly benefit the public health, safety and welfare and will be of more benefit to the public than the Historic Resource. (5)For applications for relocation of an Historic Resource, the Commission shall find that one or more of the ab ove conditions exist, that relocation will not destroy the historical, architectural or aesthetic value of the Resource and that the relocation is part of a definitive series of actions which will assure the preservation of the Resource.
