That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same zone or vicinity in that variances have heretofore been granted for profeSSional uses in the same general vicinity and the granting of the variance as hereinafter recommended will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan. SECTION 3.
