The following regulations are necessary to govern certain uses which are of a non-permanent nature. For such uses requiring a temporary Zoning Permit, an application for a Zoning Permit shall be made to the Zoning Inspector at least seven (7) days before the commencement of such use. This application shall contain a graphic description of the property to be used, a description of the property of the proposed use, and a site plan with sufficient information to determine the yard, setback, parking, and sanitary facility requirements for the proposed temporary use.
(a) The following uses are deemed to be temporary uses and shall be subject to the specified regulations and time limits which follow, as well as the regulations of any district in which they are located.
(1) Real estate sales offices which are not used for dwelling purposes, shall be permitted within any district for any new subdivision for a period of one(1) year, except that two (2), six-(6) month extensions may be granted if conditions warrant. Such offices shall be removed upon the completion of the sales of the lots therein, or upon the expiration of the Zoning Permit, whichever occurs first.
(2) Temporary buildings, construction trailers, offices, equipment, and materials, and storage facilities required in conjunction with construction activity may be permitted in any district for a period of one (1) year, except that one six-(6) month extension may be granted if construction is substantially underway. Such uses shall be removed immediately upon completion of the construction or upon expiration of the Zoning Permit for the involved construction activity, whichever occurs first.
(3) Temporary sales and services may be permitted within parking areas within any commercial district. A Zoning Permit valid for a period not to exceed seven (7) consecutive days shall only be issued three (3) times within any twelve (12) month period to any individual or organization. The application for the temporary Zoning Permit shall be accompanied by written permission of the property owners and shall be prominently displayed at the site. The Zoning Inspector shall not issue a permit for such temporary use if he or she determines that is encroaches upon more than twenty - five percent (25%) of the required parking area.
(4) Temporary retail sales and services, such as the sales of plants, flowers, arts and crafts, farm produce, or similar items on lots other than parking lots, including any lot on which an existing business is operating or on which a business is vacated, may be permitted for any for-profit individuals or organization in any commercial district. A Zoning Permit valid for a period not to exceed two (2) consecutive days shall only be issued three (3) separate times for any particular lot within any twelve (12) month period, and not more than one permit may be issued at the same time for any lot. The applicant must submit a current vendor's license or transient vendor's license and a written statement from the property owner giving his or her permission for such use. This section shall not be interpreted to prohibit any such use in any case where a valid covenant or deed restriction specifically authorizes such use. In any event, the Zoning Permit shall be prominently displayed at the site.
(b) Written application for a temporary permit shall be made to the Zoning Inspector. The application shall include:
(1) The address of the property and the name, address, and telephone number of the owner and occupant of the property.
(2) A description of the business' temporary use sought to be carried on.
(3) The number and names of persons to be involved in the business.
