For each application for a special use, the Building and Grounds Committee shall report to the City Council its findings and recommendations, including the stipulations of additional conditions and guarantees that such 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, however, that in the event of written protest against any proposed special use, signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20% of the frontage adjacent thereto, or across any alley, or directly opposite therefrom, such special use shall not be granted, except by the favorable vote of two-thirds of all the members of the City Council. Any proposed special use which fails to receive the approval of the Board of Appeals shall not be passed by the corporate authorities, except by the favorable vote of two-thirds of all aldermen then holding office.
