These regulations are necessary to govern the following uses which are of a non-permanent nature. At least seven days before the instigation of such use an application for a temporary zoning certificate shall be made to the Zoning Inspector, which shall contain a graphic description of the property to be used, a description 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) Temporary sales offices for the sale, lease or rent of buildings or space may be permitted within any district for any new subdivision or in a business or industrial district for a permitted use for a period of two years, except that annual extensions may be granted if conditions warrant, provided that such sales offices contain no living accommodations.
(b) Temporary buildings, offices, and equipment and storage facilities required in conjunction with construction activity may be permitted within a C-1, I-1 and T-C District for the duration of construction. Such uses shall be removed immediately upon completion of the construction.
(c) Temporary retail sales and services, such as sales of plants, flowers, arts and crafts, seasonal items, or similar items on any lot on which an existing business is operating or on which a business is vacated, may be permitted for any for-profit or not-for-profit individuals or organizations in any commercial district. A temporary zoning certificate valid for a specified period of time determined by the Zoning Inspector, as appropriate for the sales, promotion, event or occasion, shall only be issued three separate times for any particular lot within any twelve-month period. The applicant must submit a transient vendor's license, and a written statement from the property owner giving permission for such use. The section shall not be interpreted to prohibit any such use in any case where a valid covenant or deed restriction specifically authorizes such use. The temporary zoning certificate shall be prominently displayed at the site.
