Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, for the property located at 3217
44th Street; and

measuring 38.5 feet from the street right-of-way and 11.1 feet

space shall be a minimum of 10-feet wide and 65 feet long and
Section 26.4.6-4c provides that a non-conforming building must
comply with these standards with any changes in occupancy unless
a variance is granted; and
