(A) Purpose. This subchapter is intended as a reasonable means for the county to provide for developments of broad significance which are not possible to anticipate and accommodate in advance. Because of their unique characteristics, these uses cannot be properly classified in districts without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon the use and value of adjacent properties.
(B) Establishment. The legislative body may permit developments of broad significance after public notice and public hearing, and determination that the use is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan and with this chapter. These uses, when approved, are considered to be an addition to or deviation from the underlying zoning on the property. The underlying district shall remain, and in the event that a development of broad significance is not completed or is abandoned, the regulations of that underlying district shall again govern the use of the property.
