§ 354. Temporary Use Permits.

354.1.   Temporary Use Permit Required.

No temporary use which is not otherwise treated by this Code as a permitted use or Special Permit use in a particular zoning district shall be conducted or erected without a temporary use permit issued by the Department Director. The issuance of a temporary use permit shall not be deemed to amend the Official Zoning Atlas or this Code. The issuance of a temporary use permit does not waive any requirements for a Building Permit.

354.2.   Review Procedures.

Applications for a temporary use shall be made at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed commencement date for the use. The application shall include a description of the proposed activities, the time period for which the permit is requested, a site plan depicting the proposed use of the site and any temporary site or building improvements proposed, and any additional information and documentation as may be required by the Department Director. Plans for sanitation and public health protection including temporary bathroom facilities, inspection of food facilities, drainage, garbage and litter control, and recycling, shall be approved by the Department Director and the Health Department, when applicable.

Unless otherwise provided herein, the Department Director has the authority to approve a temporary use permit in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 315.

The Department Director may impose reasonable conditions upon the temporary use permit including, without limitations, any conditions or restrictions placed on the proposed use activities to address hours of operation, traffic control and access, lighting, sanitation, and noise control to ensure compliance with the standards above.

354.3.   Duration of Temporary Use Permit.

Unless specifically authorized in Chapter 5, no temporary use permit shall allow continuation of the use for a period of more than six (6) months, unless approved at a public hearing of the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with Section 312.8. Such a request shall not require a Planning Commission review.

By the end of the time period for which the temporary use was permitted, including any renewal or extension periods, the use shall be discontinued, all temporary structures involved removed, and the site restored to an acceptable condition free of debris and code violations.

354.4.   Extension of Temporary Use Permit.

An applicant who has obtained a temporary use permit may request an extension of the permit period by filing, before expiration, a letter stating the reasons for the request with the Department Director. The Director may grant, for good cause shown by the applicant, one renewal or extension of a temporary use permit for a maximum period not to exceed ninety (90) days, unless otherwise specified in this Chapter or by the authority initially approving the temporary use permit. Such renewal or extension may be granted, subject to the standards and procedures of this section. Only one extension may be granted under this subsection.

354.5.   Consolidated Permits.

Where an activity or project, such as a construction project, involves more than one (1) temporary use regulated under this section, a consolidated temporary use permit may be issued for all such uses involved in the activity or project.

354.6.   Violations.

Use of property that requires a temporary use permit without obtaining such permit or in violation of any conditions of such permit or any criteria listed in Section 354 or Section 520 of this Code for such use shall constitute a violation of this section. In addition to any other procedures and penalties for violations, a temporary use this permit may be revoked by the department director following written notice to the permittee. The permittee shall have the right to appeals the revocation of a temporary use permit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 370 of this Code.
