Before issuance of any special use permit for any buildings or uses, the Board of Aldermen shall refer the proposed application to the Planning and Zoning Commission, which Commission shall be given forty-five (45) days in which to make a report regarding the effect of such proposed building or use upon the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, public utility facilities and other matters pertaining to the general welfare.

Provided however, that if no report is received from the Planning and Zoning Commission within forty-five (45) days, it shall be assumed that approval of the application has been given by said Commission.

If the Board of Aldermen finds and determines that issuance of a special permit for the proposed use will not:

Cause service levels and traffic movements on nearby streets to deteriorate;
c. 
Present a burden on public utilities or emergency services;
d. 
Cause noise, light or odors that interfere with the peaceful use and enjoyment of nearby properties; or
e. 
In any other reasonably foreseeable manner adversely impact existing or permitted uses of public facilities or private property in the community,
the Board may issue a special use permit for the proposed activity and may also condition the issuance and continuation of the permit upon such reasonable conditions pertaining to the operation of the activity and location, appearance and/or landscaping of structures and the property upon which the permitted activity is to take place as may be appropriate. The applicant shall have the burden of proof that the proposed activity and the use and design of the property and structures will satisfy all criteria listed above.
