   (B)   Provided, however, that the foregoing does not make an automatic redesignation of all R-2 and R-3 zones to accept this proposed use, as same might in some cases result in hardship to the adjoining or surrounding landowners, that this use be only permitted where it is found to be preferable within the discretion of the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The Board shall study each case on an individual basis and, where no undue hardship will be the result of their action, shall permit the proposed use in R-2 and R-3 areas only with conditions to the use as the Board of Zoning Adjustment may in its discretion feel applicable in any particular case.
