No variance in the application of the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance shall be made by the Board relating to buildings, land or premises now existing or to be constructed unless, after a public hearing, the Board shall find:
(a) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class of use in the same vicinity and district.
(b) That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and district but which is denied to the property in question.
(c) That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and district in which the property is located.
(d) That the granting of such variance will not alter the land use characteristics of the vicinity and district, diminish the marketable value of adjacent land improvements or increase the congestion in the public streets.
