If you see it (any of the list of things that allow you to go 50 feet below DA/DH and then subsequently the runway) on a CAT I or II approach, you have the required visibility to land.
I think you better read OpSpec C074 very carefully. It is pretty clear that it is for Cat I approaches. RVR, when available, is controlling for landings, among other things. Simply put, if you don't have the RVR, you can't land.

b. CAT I Precision Approach Procedures. The certificate holder/operator/program manager/foreign air carrier shall not use an IFR landing minimum for CAT I precision approach procedures lower than specified in Table 1.
(1) Touchdown zone (TDZ) Runway Visual Range (RVR) reports, when available for a particular runway, are controlling for all approaches to, and landings on, that runway.
