(a) Upon application for a permit for a building or use not specifically listed in any of the permitted building or use classifications in any of the districts, or on its own initiative, additions or clarifications thereto may be made by the Planning and Zoning Commission, in compliance with the following standards:
(1) Such use is not listed in any other classification of permitted buildings or uses and is not specifically prohibited in this Planning and Zoning Code;
(2) Such use is more appropriate to, and conforms more closely to the basic characteristics of the classification to which it is to be added than to any other classification;
(3) Such use does not create dangers to health and safety, and does not create offensive noise, vibration, dust, heat, smoke, odor, glare or other objectionable influences to an extent greater than the other uses listed in the classification to which it is to be added; and
(4) Such use does not generate traffic to a greater extent than the other uses listed in the classification to which it is to be added.
(b) The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend such additions or clarifications to Council. If Council, by a majority vote of its members, concurs with the recommendation of the Commission, such use shall be deemed to be similar and permitted in the requested use district. No public hearing shall be required to include the similar use in a use district.
