(A) A temporary use permit may be issued for seasonal or similar short-term special events and sales by the City Manager or designee.

(B) The City Manager shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for temporary use permits based on consideration of the requirements of this Zoning Ordinance. The City Manager may refer an application for a temporary use permit to the Planning Commission if the City Manager finds that the temporary use may have substantial and detrimental impacts to surrounding land that warrant Planning Commission review.

(3) The proposed use will not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic or circulation in the area surrounding the proposed use and will not create a demand for additional parking that cannot be safely and efficiently accommodated by existing parking areas or a parking management plan.
(D) The City Manager may impose reasonable conditions deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the findings for a temporary use permit including, but not limited to:
(1) Regulation of ingress and egress and traffic circulation; valet or off-site parking;
