SEC. 16-481. DENIAL OF PERMIT; APPEAL.
   If, in the opinion of the director and other affected city departments, a proposed temporary use will be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare and the adverse impacts cannot be mitigated, the director shall deny the permit.

Before an appeal is scheduled for hearing, the applicant shall pay a fee as provided by resolution of the city council.
(`64 Code, Sec. 34-4.7) (Ord. No. 1633, 1836)
SEC. 16-482. SIGNS.
   Except as otherwise permitted by this division, sign area for auctions, Christmas tree lots and vegetable, fruit and flower stands shall be limited to one temporary unlighted attached sign not to exceed 20 square feet in area. When such temporary use is located in a C-R zone, an additional two directional signs, of no more than six square feet each, shall be permitted. These additional signs shall be constructed of wood. All signs shall pertain only to the goods sold on the premises upon which displayed. Such signs shall not be located closer than five feet to any property line or street right-of-way.
(`64 Code, Sec. 34-4.8) (Ord. No. 1836)

   (A)   No temporary use permit shall be granted for the temporary occupancy of a mobile home, coach or other similar prefabricated or manufactured structure for use other than as a temporary construction office as provided in this article. Any use of such type of structure other than as specified herein shall comply with provisions of this chapter and the building codes applied to permanent structures.
   (B)   Except as otherwise permitted by or provided for in this chapter, no retail commercial use that engages in outdoor sale, display, promotion or storage of products or goods in commercial zones shall be permitted, except that this prohibition shall not apply to the outdoor displays of nurseries and lumber yards; the outdoor display of automotive products associated with a service station use; and the outdoor display of other large commodities, such as automobiles, motorcycles, and noninflatable craft, associated with retail sales.
   (C)   All sales offices for attached or detached residential projects shall be located within a specified dwelling unit. If the sales office is located in the garage of the dwelling unit, all improvements to the garage made to accommodate the office shall be removed before the dwelling unit is sold.

DIVISION 16. WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES
SEC. 16-485. PURPOSE.
   (A)   The purpose of this division is to provide standards governing the installation of towers, antennae, and other wireless communications facilities to greatly reduce or eliminate any adverse economic, safety or aesthetic impacts on neighboring property owners and the entire city.
   (B)   Specifically, the purpose of this division is to:
      (1)   Permit towers to be located only in non-residential areas and minimize the total number of towers throughout the city;
      (2)   Encourage the joint use of new and existing tower sites as a primary option rather than construction of additional single-use towers;
      (3)   Encourage the location of towers and antennae in areas where any adverse impacts on the city are minimal;
      (4)   Encourage the configuration of towers and antennae to minimize adverse visual impacts through careful design (such as the use of stealth facilities), siting, landscape screening, and other camouflaging techniques;
      (5)   Expand the availability of quick, effective and efficient wireless communications services in the city;
      (6)   Consider any potentially adverse effects that wireless communications towers have on health and safety; and
      (7)   Use careful design and siting of towers to avoid damage to adjacent properties.
(`64 Code, Sec. 34-230) (Ord. No. 2449)
SEC. 16-486. APPLICABILITY.
   This division shall not apply to antennae and wireless communication facilities under 70 feet in height that are owned and operated by a federally-licensed amateur radio station.
(`64 Code, Sec. 34-231) (Ord. No. 2449)
