 100 per cent, of the area.

 of Bay Ridge Avenue and east of Seventh Avenue, 

 that west of Old New Utrecht Road and north of

 Church Avenue will be seen to include dwelling 

 house areas more or less developed with buildings 

 usually occupying not more than 50 per cent, of the

 entered to any considerable e::tent.
