For each application for a special use, the zoning board of appeals shall report to the city council its findings and recommendations, including the stipulations of additional conditions, and guarantees that the conditions will be complied with when they are deemed necessary for the protection of the public interest. The city council may grant or deny any application for a special use; provided, that in the event of written protest against any proposed special use, signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% of the frontage immediately adjoining the property proposed for a special use, or by owners of 20% of the frontage across an alley or directly opposite therefrom, filed with the city clerk, the special use shall not be granted, except by the favorable vote of two-thirds of all the aldermen of the city.
