(2) The use can be operated or developed in such a manner that it will not adversely effect surrounding land uses;
(3) The character is unique to the extent that it cannot be classified as a permitted use in any zone; and

(D) Before authorization of any of the above special uses, the request therefor shall be referred to the Board of Appeals for study and report concerning the effect of the proposed use on the character and development of the neighborhood and a public hearing shall be held in relation thereto before the Board of Appeals.
