The special permit shall be a development order for a specific type, level, nature, density, intensity, or other form of development of a specifically described parcel of real property. The special permit is not transferable, in whole or in part, to any other parcel of real property or to any other person, corporation, or other legal entity. The special permit may be granted whenever the City Commission finds that the applicant has demonstrated, pursuant to the standards set forth in the following sections of this appendix, that the applicant has a preexisting vested right to commence and complete a specific level, type, nature, density, intensity, or other form of development. The special permit may be granted with or without conditions as may be appropriate that evidence shall indicate to the City Commission.
