(A) Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 462.3597, and in order to give flexibility to the district use regulations of this chapter, which is necessary to achieve the objectives of the comprehensive plan, interim uses are allowed in certain districts subject to the granting of an interim use permit by the City Council. Because of their temporary characteristics, interim uses require special consideration so they may be located properly with respect to the objectives of the comprehensive plan and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve these purposes, the City Council is empowered to grant and to deny applications for interim use permits and to impose reasonable conditions upon the granting of these permits. Uses authorized under this section shall be considered a conforming use, but only in accordance with the conditions set forth in the interim use permit.
(B) The City Council may grant an interim use permit for the interim use of the property upon a showing by the applicant that the standards and criteria stated in this zoning code and any conditions imposed by the City Council, will be satisfied, and that the applicant agrees to the conditions imposed upon the interim use. The interim use permit shall include a date or event that will terminate the permit, and the granting of the interim use shall not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. A public hearing on the granting of an interim use permit shall be held in the manner provided in § 152.50. An interim use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions agreed upon are observed, but the Council may enact or amend the zoning code to change the status of conditional uses. An interim use permit shall not become effective until a certified copy is filed by the applicant with the County Recorder, which shall include the legal description of the property included.
