(A) Exceptions to the basic provisions of Title XV shall be permitted only for uses listed in § 153.13 and the complete classification list and only after the issuance of a conditional use permit. An application for a conditional use permit shall be filed with the Zoning Officer on a form furnished for the purpose.
(B) The application shall be accompanied by plans and other data as prescribed on the form.

The City Council may reverse the decision of the Board of Adjustment if a majority of the City Council deems the issuance of a permit is necessary for the protection of the public interest.
(2) Requirements for grant of permit. No conditional use permit shall be granted unless the Board of Adjustment shall find:
(a) The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of the environment or of other property in the immediate vicinity nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the surrounding neighborhood;
(b) The proposed development will not increase local or state expenditures in relation to costs of servicing or maintaining neighboring properties;
(c) The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses predominant in the area; and
