(b) The Building Official may authorize placement of a shipping container in a residential district within the city for a period not to exceed three months, for use as temporary storage, however such authorization shall not be construed as a building permit or zoning permit, and a shipping container may not be relocated to a new site on the subject property in order to extend the allowable timeframe for placement. Such authorization shall be documented and retained by the Building Official, and shall specify the location upon the subject property, which may require a site behind building setback lines established under the applicable residential zoning district of the city’s zoning ordinance.
