A 2 waiver considered by the commission in conjunction with an application for a special use permit shall be subject to review by the board of supervisors without the filing of an appeal. In considering a waiver on appeal, the commission or the board may grant or deny the waiver based upon its determination of whether one or more applicable circumstances exist or criteria are satisfied, amend any condition imposed by the director or the commission, and impose any conditions deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare.
