   (A)   A temporary use permit shall be approved prior to the commencement of any temporary use. Application for a temporary use permit shall be made on an application form secured from the director.

   (B)   (1)   The director shall direct the application to all concerned city departments or divisions for recommendations. The director shall review such recommendations and notify the applicant of approval, conditional approval, or disapproval.
      (2)   In reviewing an application for a temporary use permit, the director shall consider the potential effect of such a use on adjacent public and private property, traffic, and parking and shall also consider aesthetic impacts, setbacks, structural soundness, site orientation and arrangement, and hours of operation. The director may impose reasonable conditions necessary to mitigate potential adverse impacts.
   (C)   Temporary uses may be subject to additional permits, licenses or inspections as required by any applicable law, code or regulation. Application for temporary use permits for temporary uses in zones with planned development additives do not require a planned development permit.
