§ 804. Evidence presented at public hearings.

The applicant for a zoning map change to any district other than a Special Use District shall be prohibited from offering any testimony or evidence at the hearing concerning the specific manner in which the property is to be used or developed.

If the applicant believes that development of the property in a specific manner will lessen adverse effects upon surrounding properties, or otherwise make the zoning map change more in accordance with the principles underlying this ordinance, the applicant may apply for a zoning map change to the appropriate Special Use District and simultaneously apply for a Special Use Permit, in accordance with Section 802 of this ordinance, and shall specify the nature of the proposed development. No permit shall be issued for any development within a Special Use District except in accordance with an approved Special Use Permit.
