(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:

(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:

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