All special permit applications shall conform to the provisions of this Section 6.8 and the Board of Appeals’ Rules and Regulations adopted pursuant to M.G.L.c40A Section 9 governing the administration for special permits. In the LI(C) District, the SPGA may give site plan review and approval in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 10.5.1-10.5.4, and may grant a special permit in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 10.4.3, for a project that satisfies the criteria and conditions set out below. The SPGA may approve an application for site plan review and approval and/or special permit based on a finding that the proposed project, as submitted or modified prior to its action, is in compliance with the criteria for approval set forth in Section 10.5.5 and M.G.L.c.40A, Section 9; provided, however, that the SPGA may deny the application for site plan review and approval and/or special permit if it determines that the effect of the proposed project on the public interest is so intrusive that no reasonable conditions can be developed to avoid that effect. The SPGA may in its discretion waive any of the standards and criteria stated in this
