(a) No similar use shall be granted unless:
(1) A majority of the basic characteristics of the similar use conform to a majority of the basic characteristics of the uses listed in the district to which the use is to be added.
(2) The similar use does not create a danger to health, safety, and welfare, and does not create offensive noise, vibration, dust, fumes, smoke, odor, glare or other objectional influences to an extent greater than normally resulting from other uses listed in the district to which it is to be added.
(3) The similar use does not create traffic to a greater extent than the listed uses in the district to which it is to be added.
(b) A similar use granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals shall be subject to the same regulations and conditions provided for any applicable use in the district in which it is located. Variances from the regulations of the district in which the use is located must be applied for separately. In such cases, the Board may grant the similar use and deny or grant the variance. Where a similar use application is denied, the jurisdiction of the Board ceases and no variance shall be granted unless a formal application is filed with the Building Inspector.
