The city council may grant exemptions from the prohibition set forth in this section for:
A. Public works projects and other projects within the public rights-of-way for which the city council determines that the public benefit of night-time construction outweighs the short-term impacts of such construction; and/or
B. Large scale commercial projects may also apply for an exemption which the city council may grant if it finds that the benefits of reducing the overall construction schedule and/or the additional benefits to the city from sales and use tax revenue from the project outweigh the short-term inconvenience to neighboring residents.
