The City Administrator is authorized to issue a temporary occupancy permit for up to two weeks allowing a travel trailer, where there is adequate access to sanitation and kitchen facilities, to be temporarily parked on residential property not within a recreational vehicle park within the city. Any such occupancy permit is revocable by the City Council without hearing. The revocation shall give the occupant a minimum of 24 hours to vacate the travel trailer or move the travel trailer. The occupancy permit shall be on a form approved by the City Council. No more than two such permits per owner shall be issued by the City Administrator in any one calendar year for property belonging to the same real property owner. If an individual desires to obtain additional occupancy permits, he or she must petition the City Council to authorize the City Administrator to issue the additional permits. The City Council shall only authorize additional permits following an open hearing at which the Council finds that such additional permits would not create a health or safety danger to the applicant or neighbors, that a temporary emergency exists and that the additional permit will not create a public nuisance. The Council shall continue to have the additional authority prescribed in this title. Any permit issued pursuant to the terms of this section may be revoked on 24 hours’ notice if, upon inspection by the City Administrator or his or her designee or city/county health authorities, it is determined that such inhabited travel trailer is lacking in proper sanitary facilities, is a menace to public health or is causing or creating a public nuisance. The occupancy permit allowed in this section shall be in addition to any time allowed in a recreational vehicle park by separate ordinance.
