(a) Purpose. The following standards are intended to accommodate temporary pandemic, epidemic, or emergency service facilities while protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community.
(b) Review and approval. Unless operating under an emergency declaration, temporary pandemic, epidemic, or emergency service facilities require an interim use permit to be approved by the Planning Commission or, if appealed, the City Council.
(c) Standards.
(1) Deliveries must be made on site and outside of public right-of-way.
(2) The facility must have sufficient trash storage on site and be located in a manner that reduces potential nuisances but the facility is not subject to refuse, solid waste, and recyclable materials handling requirements in Section 21.301.17.
(3) For facilities with drive-through operations, sufficient vehicle stacking must be provided to avoid congestion within the public right-of-way, as determined by the City Engineer.
(4) For nighttime operations, site lighting, as required in Section 21.301.07, must be provided to ensure adequate visibility.
(5) Temporary structures and tents are permitted. Temporary structures and tents must meet all relevant Building and Fire Code requirements, but are not subject to City Code time limitations for tents or exterior materials requirements.
(6) When operating within residential zoning districts, the pandemic or emergency service facility must be located on a site that is occupied by a non-residential use.
(7) The Planning Commission or, if appealed, the City Council may approve flexibility from use standards if it finds that such flexibility is warranted to protect the community's health, safety, and general welfare.
