ARTICLE XLVII. TEMPORARY USES

30.47.10 Temporary uses.

Certain temporary uses of property may be permitted in any district. The permit or license may be made contingent upon such conditions and time limitations as are reasonably necessary to secure the public welfare. The violation of any such condition shall be grounds for the revocation of the permit or license. The enforcing officer may require guarantees to assure removal of the temporary use and of any debris or refuse resultant from the use, so as to restore the premises to the prior condition. (Ord. No. 2013-08, § 2 (Exh. A), 8-5-13)

30.47.20 Temporary construction buildings.

Temporary buildings and uses incidental to the construction of a building or group of buildings on the same or adjacent premises may be permitted in any district. Such temporary buildings and uses must be removed within thirty (30) days after the completion of construction. (Ord. No. 2013-08, § 2 (Exh. A), 8-5-13)

30.47.30 Sales offices.

A temporary tract or sales office may be permitted in a residential district during the period of construction or sale of homes in a new subdivision if located in a dwelling or in a temporary structure that meets setback requirements for a main building. The office shall be removed and the entire premises shall be restored to conform to the district regulations within thirty (30) days after the sales for such tract are concluded. (Ord. No. 2013-08, § 2 (Exh. A), 8-5-13)

30.47.40 Outdoor sales on public property.

Outdoor sales with merchandise displayed on any public right-of-way, public street or sidewalk, shall be restricted to four (4) per year per organized shopping area, and shall last no more than four (4) consecutive days. Regularly scheduled community-wide civic events, as determined by the planning director, shall be exempt from these provisions. (Ord. No. 2013-08, § 2 (Exh. A), 8-5-13)

(e) Other temporary outdoor uses that meet all other conditions of this chapter, and where the zoning administrator determines that no safety hazards will result from the proposed use. (Ord. No. 2013-08, § 2 (Exh. A), 8-5-13; Ord. No. 2015-02, § 4, 5-4-15)
