(A) There shall be no more than one portable storage unit per site. No portable storage unit shall remain at a site in a residential district in excess of 14 consecutive days, and portable storage units shall not be placed at any one site in a residential district in excess of 28 days in any calendar year. No portable storage unit shall remain at a site in a nonresidential district in excess of 30 consecutive days, and portable storage units shall not be placed at any one site in a nonresidential district in excess of 60 days in any calendar year.
(B) Notwithstanding the time limitations set forth herein, all portable storage units shall be removed immediately upon the issuance of a hurricane warning by a recognized government agency. If the City Engineer determines that an emergency, other than a hurricane warning by a recognized government agency, provides sufficient cause to exceed the time limitations which would otherwise apply, the City Engineer may allow a portable storage unit to remain at a site for a period in excess of such time limitations. If the City Engineer determines that placement of a portable storage unit at a site where new construction is taking place will not adversely impact the surrounding community and is otherwise appropriate, the City Engineer may allow a portable storage unit to remain at the site for a period in excess of the time limitations which would otherwise apply. In the event an emergency or new construction results in issuance of an extended permit as provided herein, the City Engineer may revoke such permit, with or without cause, at any time after expiration of the period for which the portable storage unit would have been allowed in the absence of an emergency or new construction.
