(A) Purpose. The purpose and intent of allowing interim uses is: to allow a use for a limited period of time that reasonably utilizes the property where it is not reasonable to utilize it in the manner provided in the Comprehensive Plan; and to allow a use that is presently acceptable but that, with anticipated development, will not be acceptable in the future.
(B) Application, public hearing, notice, and procedure. The application, public hearing, public notice, and procedure requirements for an interim use permit shall be the same as those for a conditional use permit as provided in this chapter.
(C) Standards. The Planning Commission shall recommend an interim use permit, and the Council shall issue such interim use permit, only if they find that such use at the proposed location:
(1) Meets the standards of a conditional use permit set forth in § 155.440;
(2) Will terminate upon a date or event that can be identified with certainty;
(3) Will not impose, by agreement, additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future; and,
(4) Will be subjected to, by agreement with the owner, any conditions that the City Council has deemed appropriate for permission of the use, including a condition that the owner will provide an appropriate financial surety to cover the cost of removing the interim use and any interim structures upon the expiration of the interim use permit.
(D) Termination. An interim use permit shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events, whichever first occurs:
(1) The date stated in the permit;
(2) A violation of conditions under which the permit was issued;
(3) The occurrence of an event outlined in the permit that terminates the interim use; or
(4) The discontinuance of the use for a minimum of six months.
