After receiving the recommendation from the Commission, the
Council may, after public hearing as provided for zoning
changes, grant the change of zoning, deny the change of
zoning, or grant a special permit, and which permit is
granted only in accordance with the same standards outlined
in subparagraph (A) above; provided, however, that when the
action taken by the Council is less restrictive as to use or
as to density than the recommendation of the Commission,
said Council action shall not be effective except by an
affirmative vote of a majority plus one of the members
present and voting. Every special permit granted by the
Council shall be considered as an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance as applicable to such property. In granting such
permit the City Council may grant same for such limited
period of time as the Council may decide and may impose
conditions which shall be complied with by the grantee
before certificate of occupancy may be issued by the
Building Inspector for such use of the buildings and
improvements on such conditions shall not be construed as
conditions precedent to the granting of a certificate of
occupancy. Any such special permit shall be deemed to have
expired within one (1) year of the date of the granting of
the same unless the premises are actually being used under
said permit; provided that additional time may be granted on
motion by the Council or provided in the permit at the time
of the granting of the same. Whenever the use for which the
permit is granted is for any reason terminated, the permit
shall be deemed to have expired.
Whenever any motion or vote on a proposed ordinance amending
the Zoning Ordinance under this subsection has failed to

vote to be effective, the proposed change in zoning or grant
• of a special permit shall be deemed denied.
