the City Planning Commission, may by special permit, allow:

(a)    Temporary occupancy of #dwelling units# by outpatients of the non-profit or voluntary hospital or by families visiting
        hospitalized patients provided the following findings are made:

        (1)    that the density and transient nature of the population housed in such #dwelling units# will not impair the
                essential character, future use or development of the surrounding area; or impair the security of the hospital
                staff residing in the #building#;

        (2)    that such occupancy will neither create nor contribute to serious traffic congestion and will not unduly inhibit
                surface traffic and pedestrian flow; and

        (3)    that the number of such #dwelling units# so occupied is less than 50 percent of the total number of #dwelling
                units# in the #building#.

(b)    Ambulatory diagnostic or treatment health care facilities listed in Use Group III(B) on the third floor of such #buildings#
       in C1 Districts, provided the following findings are made:

        (1)    that such facilities are used exclusively for staff of, or staff affiliated with, the non-profit or voluntary hospital;

        (2)    that such occupancy will neither create nor contribute to serious traffic congestion and will not unduly inhibit
                surface traffic and pedestrian flow;

        (3)    that such #use# will not impair the essential character, future use or development of the surrounding area;

        (4)    that such #use# will not produce any adverse effects which interfere with the appropriate use of land in the
                districts or in any adjacent district; and

        (5)    that separate access to the outside is provided.

The City Planning Commission may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to minimize adverse effects on the
character of the surrounding area.
