(A) A temporary use permit may be approved by the City Administrator to allow uses and activities which are temporary or seasonal in nature and do not conflict with the zoning district in which they are located.
(B) No temporary use permit shall be issued which would have the effect of permanently rezoning or granting a special privilege not shared by other properties in the same zoning district.
(1) Permitted temporary uses. Temporary structures, activities or uses may be permitted on authority of the City Administrator using a Type I procedure as described in § 151.026. Temporary permits may be issued as necessary to provide for housing of personnel, storage and use of supplies and equipment, or to provide for temporary sales offices for uses permitted in the zoning district. Other uses may include temporary signs, outdoor gatherings, short-term uses, roadside stands or other uses not specified in this chapter and not so recurrent as to require a specific or general regulation to control them.
(2) Criteria for decision. No temporary permits shall be issued except upon a finding that the proposed structure, activity or use would not permit the permanent establishment within a zoning district of any use which is not permitted within the zoning district, or any use for which a conditional use permit is required.
(3) Conditions relative to the issuance of temporary permits.
(a) Reasonable conditions may be imposed by the City Administrator in connection with the temporary permit to minimize the potential impact of the proposed use to other uses in the vicinity. Guarantees and evidence may be required that such conditions will be or are being complied with. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Special yards and spaces;
2. Fences or walls;
3. Control of points of vehicular ingress and egress;
4. Special provisions on signs;
5. Landscaping and maintenance thereof;
6. Maintenance of the grounds;
7. Control of noise, odors or other nuisances; and
8. Limitation of time for certain activities.
(b) Any temporary permit shall clearly set forth the conditions under which the permit is granted, and shall clearly indicate the time period for which the permit is issued. No temporary permit shall be transferrable to any other owner or occupant, but may be renewable through the administrative action process.
(c) All structures for which a temporary permit is issued:
1. Shall meet all other requirements of the zoning district in which they are located;
2. Shall meet all applicable health and sanitation requirements;
3. Shall meet all applicable building code requirements; and
4. Shall be removed upon expiration of the temporary permit unless renewed by the City Administrator or converted to a permitted use.
(4) Time limits and renewals for temporary permits.
(a) Temporary permits shall be issued for the time period specified by the approving authority, but may be renewable upon expiration by an administrative action if all applicable conditions can again be met. In no case shall a temporary permit be issued for a period exceeding one year, unless the temporary permit is renewed.
(b) Renewal of a temporary permit shall follow the same procedure as the initial application.
