At any hearing of the Board called to review the permit after notice has been given to the permittee and as provided in Chapter 12.16 of this code, the Board may revoke or modify the conditions of the .permit if the applicant is found to be in violation of the conditions im- posed by said permit; in addition, in the event it is found by the Board at said hearing, that a parking deficiency has been created by the use, the Board may require that additional pro- visions for parking be made to eliminate the deficiency. The permit shall be personal to the applicant and shall not run with the land. 5) Provided, further, at the time the applicant's building has been completed to an extent that a certificate of occupancy could be granted with the exception of the completion of the required landscaping and parking requirements, and which a prior conditional use permit has been granted, reducing the parking requirement as provided hereinabove, the applicant may make further application to the Board for a second conditional use permit subject to the same terms and condi- tions set forth hereinabove requesting a condi- tional use permit requiring only the installation of one parking space for each staff member or employee and one parking space per four dwelling units upon a finding by the Board that said additional reduction in the parking requirements will not create a parking deficiency for the use of the applicant. This permit shall also be personal to the applicant and not run with the land and shall further be subject to review and revocation or modification at any public meeting of the Board called pursuant to public notice and notice to the permittee for any violation of the criteria or conditions imposed by the Board and/or in the event the Board shall find that a parking deficiency has been created by the applicant's particular use. It is the purpose and intent of this subsection to provide greater latitude in off-street parking requirements for retirement homes for the aged. 6) Upon any change of ownership or use of the prop- erty for which any conditional use permit is issued under this section, such permit shall be deemed terminated and any new owner of said property shall be required to reapply for the -2- issuance of a conditional use permit or permits as provided hereunder or be deemed in violation of the off-street parking requirement as other- wise established as if no exception were per- mitted for this use. In the event of a change of use of the permittee, the permit shall be deemed revoked and compliance with the off-street parking requirements for said changed use in said zone shall be required. Retirement Homes for the Aged shall comply with the off- street parking requirements for multiple family dwellings unless a lesser number of parking spaces per dwelling unit is permitted as set forth hereinabove.
