   (A)   (1)   Purpose. An interim use permit may be issued for a temporary use of property until a particular date, until the occurrence of a particular event or until zoning regulations no longer permit it.
      (2)   Conditions. The City Council may issue interim use permits for an interim use of property for a period not to exceed five years if:

      (4)   Revocation. All interim use permits shall be subject to an annual administrative review. The purpose of the review shall be to determine that the conditions of a permit issued hereunder are within compliance.
