definition of "Use, Temporary" and by adding a definition for "Use, Intermittent Temporary" to
read as follows:
"USE, TEMPORARY: A "land use" [SR] which is established for a fixed period
of time with the intent to discontinue such use on the expiration of the time
period. A temporary use shall be subject to the following supplementary
regulations:
A. Land Uses Allowed: A temporary use shall be limited to those
permitted uses and accessory uses allowed in the zoning district in
which the temporary use is to be located, unless specifically
authorized otherwise.
B. Number And Duration: No more than four (4) temporary uses shall
be conducted on the same “zoning lot” [SR] within a calendar year.
No single temporary use shall be established or operate for more
than thirty (30) days, and the total number of days for all
temporary uses established or operating on the same “zoning lot”
[SR] within a calendar year shall not exceed sixty (60) days. More
than one (1) temporary use may be established or operate on the
same zoning lot at the same time; however, for each temporary
use, one (1) day of establishment or operation of each temporary
use is counted against the maximum number of sixty (60) days
allowed. Except as provided for an “intermittent temporary use”
[SR], the days a temporary use operates or is otherwise open or
available to the general public shall be consecutive, and each such
JUNE 27, 2012 VOLUME LXXVII
344
time period shall constitute one (1) of the four (4) allowable
temporary uses within a calendar year.
C. Setbacks: A temporary use shall maintain a minimum fifteen foot
(15') setback from all "street lot lines" [SR] and a minimum ten
foot (10') setback from all "interior lot lines" [SR]. Temporary uses
shall maintain a minimum one hundred foot (100') setback from all
interior lot lines which adjoin any residence conservation district
or residence district, where such temporary use is not located
within such zoning districts.
D. Operation: Temporary uses may be operated outdoors. No
temporary use shall be operated in such a manner as to cause a
public nuisance including, but not limited to, stormwater runoff
onto adjoining property, soil erosion, unsafe vehicular access or on
site vehicular circulation, or any other activity that jeopardizes the
public health, safety or welfare.
E. Permit Required: A temporary use shall not be established or
operate before receiving a Temporary Use Permit. Such permit
shall state the absolute start and end dates of the temporary use and
the days of operation between said dates.
F. Other Codes And Ordinances: A temporary use shall comply with
all other codes and ordinances, except the provisions for the
required number of parking spaces. “Intermittent temporary uses”
[SR] are further and distinctly defined within this section
19.09.015 and subject to the supplemental regulations associated
therewith.
USE, INTERMITTENT TEMPORARY: A "temporary use" [SR] at which at
least five (5) separate and distinct businesses provide goods and services directly
to the public no more than two (2) times per week and on no more than thirty (30)
regularly scheduled and predetermined days over a fixed period of time not to
exceed six (6) months. An intermittent temporary use does not include a
“residential garage sale” [SR], “outdoor display area” [SR], “outdoor display lot”
[SR], “outdoor eating and drinking facility” [SR], “commercial operations yard”
[SR], “junk yard” [SR], or “motor vehicle wrecking yard” [SR]. An intermittent
temporary use is subject to the “temporary use” [SR] supplementary regulations,
except:
A. When operated outdoors, such use shall be located upon a “zoning lot”
[SR] greater than or equal to two (2) acres;
VOLUME LXXVII JUNE 27, 2012
345
B. The entire approved fixed period of time during which the intermittent
temporary use is established or operates constitutes one single “temporary
use” [SR] as envisioned and limited by the supplementary regulations for
“temporary use” [SR]; and
C. No more than one (1) intermittent temporary use is allowed per "zoning
lot" [SR] within a calendar year."
Section 3. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of
this ordinance be and are hereby repealed.
Section 4. That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and
publication in the manner provided by law.
