the B districts all non-re idential build
ings are governed by like area pro-
visions, irrespective OF the fact whether
/ they are or are not warehouses. The
same is true Of the c districts. Nom
residential buildings in the c districts
are subject 70 identically the same pro-
visions as in the districts.
