(A) Purpose. The purpose and intent of allowing interim uses is:
(1) To allow a use for a limited period of time that reasonably utilizes the property in the manner not permitted in the applicable zoning district.
(2) To allow a use that is presently acceptable, but not permitted within the zoning district and, with anticipated development, may not be acceptable in the future.
(B) Procedure. The application, public notice and procedure requirements for interim use permits shall be the same as those for conditional use permits as provided in § 154.047.
(C) Standards. The Planning Commission shall recommend an interim use permit and the Council shall issue such interim use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location:
(1) Meets the standards of a conditional use permit set forth in § 154.047.
(2) Conforms to the zoning regulations, performance standards and other requirements of this subchapter.
(3) Will terminate upon a tangible date or event specified in the resolution approving said interim use permit.
(4) Will not impose, by agreement, additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future.
(5) Will be subject to, by agreement with the owner, any conditions that the City Council has deemed appropriate for permission of the use, including a condition that the owner will provide an appropriate financial surety to cover the cost of removing the interim use and any interim structures upon the expiration of the interim use permit.
(D) Termination. An interim use permit shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events; whichever first occurs:
(1) The date specified in the permit;
(2) A violation of the conditions under which the permit was issued; or
(3) A change in the city's zoning regulations.
