(B) Procedurally, special use permits shall be handled in the same fashion as applications for variances set forth in § 11-2-9. The application fee shall also be $350. Application shall be made on a form prescribed by the Zoning Administrator and the applicant shall be responsible for cost of publication as in the case of variance requests. A public hearing shall be conducted by the Zoning Board of Appeals in the same fashion as for variances: the Zoning Board of Appeals shall prepare and transmit to the Village Board its findings and recommendation the applicant shall pay all fees related to publication, and all permits shall be only by ordinance. The findings and recommendations shall not be based on the standards of § 11-2-9 but rather shall be based on consideration of the effect of such proposed building or use upon the character of the neighborhood, surrounding land values, traffic conditions, public utility facilities, and other matters pertaining to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. No action shall be taken upon any application for a special use permit until the report of the Zoning Board of Appeals has been filed, and such report shall be made within 60 days after the matter has been referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals by the President and Board of Trustees. If the Zoning Board of Appeals recommends against the issuance of the special use permit, then it may be issued only by an affirmative two-thirds vote of the President and Board of Trustees.
