Heading: Blockage of Light and Air of Adjacent Residences.

Text: We see no merit in this argument. [22] The seven-story building design approved by the HPRB included set-backs from the Rodney Apartments; these set-backs were also included in the covenant. Such set-backs are not required under either R-5-B or R-5-C zoning. Moreover, pursuant to 11 DCMR § 405.6, side yards are not required either. Thus, the building proposed by Fourways and subject to the set-backs, as well as any building proposed by a subsequent owner of Lot 60, would be less restrictive of light and air than what would otherwise be permitted as of right. Though the Commission does not make specific findings of fact regarding this issue, we here once again can infer from the Commission's general findings, the `basic [and] underlying reasons' supra, 395 A.2d at 88.
