However, there are certain uses which, becuase of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified as unrestricted permitted uses in any particular district or districts, without consideration, in each case, of the impact of those uses upon neighboring land or public facilities, and of the public need for the particular use at a parti- cular location. Stich uses, nevertheless, may be necessary or desirable to be allowed in a particular district provided that duo consideration is given to location, development, and operation of such uses. Such uses are classified as conditional uses and are 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 or public facilities.

(b) Authority: The Zoning Committee, after a public hearing, shall within a reasonable time, grant or deny any application for a conditional use. Prior to granting or denying a conditional use, the Committee shall make findings of fact based on evidence presented, that the standards herein prescribed will either be complied with or not be complied with.
