But if it’s already zoned "Commercial" a Special Use Permit would only be required if the desired use is outside commercial zoning. Unless some are mistaken and the land is actually zoned for another use, but the original intention of the lot was set aside for commercial purposes. That is not commercial zoning, just intended for commercial use.
If the zoning actually is "Commercial", develop it. But if this is the case, maybe no developer sees any value in spending money on a project with little or no return. Besides the zoning, you have to have someone with the money to finance the development project. If the zoning exists and developers aren't beating down the doors to propose projects, maybe they don't see the lot as viable for commercial development. You can't fault them for that.
