[10] Temple argues that the BZA's 1983 approval of his requested variance vindicates his claim that for almost twenty years the District erred in denying him the Certificate of Occupancy to which he was allegedly entitled. Our reading of the July 6, 1983 decision of the BZA, however, leads us to a different conclusion. It appears that the BZA partially based its decision to grant the variance on the fact that the requested variance would be compatible with current uses in the immediate area. To the extent the BZA based its decision on Temple's claim of a historic right to the nonconforming use, suffice it to say that the record before the BZA in its non-adversial proceedings was not as complete as is our record in this appeal.
