to the public welfare, and which are of a comparable nature and of
the same classes as the uses enumerated for the district, shall be
allowed as permitted or conditional uses therein. The Zoning Administrator,

decisions on matters of slight modification and minor adjustment deemed
necessary in connection with the efficient administration of the zoning
ordinance.
