(A) Special exceptions are uses publicly or municipally operated and those uses traditionally affected with a public interest and those uses entirely private in character but of such an unusual nature that their operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to their impact upon neighboring property and public facilities.
(B) A special exception or any use not otherwise set forth in this chapter that fits the definition set forth in division (A) above may be approved in zones as specified in this section. The use approved shall be subject to any regulations or requirements imposed as a part of the special exception, in addition or in place of the other regulations or requirements of this chapter. The provisions of a special exception shall replace and supersede the provisions of the base zone, effective upon either construction of any facilities approved as a part of the special exception or upon beginning of operation of the use or uses specified, whichever occurs first. The provisions shall remain in effect until such time as the special exception (use) ceases to operate. Immediately prior to reuse of the structures or facilities used for the special exception, the provisions of the special exception shall become invalid and the regulations and requirements of the base zone shall again be in effect.
(C) Any significant changes (as determined by the Board) in use of a special exception or any construction of new facilities or structures, or major additions to existing facilities or structures (as determined by the Board) shall be subject to approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals, using the same process as used for the original approval.
