The purpose of this chapter is to allow the occupancy of temporary emergency dwellings under certain circumstances in order to address personal hardships. Because such hardships or needs are personal, temporary and transitory, the approval of a temporary emergency dwelling permit does not constitute a long-term use, authorization, permit or approval that conflicts with the York County Comprehensive Plan or constitutes a threat or hazard to the health, safety and welfare of York County, the permittee, occupants of the permitted temporary residence or adjoining property owners.
