That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code (Zoning) deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification since the property is listed in the General Plan as a potentially significant historical site and the required number of off-street parking spaces could be provided by demolition of the carriage house but would not be in keeping with the preservation of the historic characteristics of the site; and 2.
