Through a Type II procedure, pursuant to Section 17-4.1.030, the City shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny an application for a placement and use of a temporary building, trailer, kiosk, or other structure, based on following criteria:

1. The use is permitted in the underlying zone and does not violate any conditions of approval for the property (e.g., prior development permit approval).

ALLOWED THROUGH A CONDITIONAL USE ONLY…AND REQUIRES SITE DESIGN REVIEW BECAUSE NEW DEVELOPMENT

2. The applicant, if different than the property owner, has proof of the owner’s permission to place the use on the property.

PERMISSION HAS BEEN GRANTED

3. The lot development standards of Section 17-2.2.040 are met.

PROPERTY HAS NOT YET GONE THROUGH SITE DESIGN REVIEW, SO MANY AREAS OF NONCONFORMITY EXIST

4. Ingress and egress are adequate and do not raise safety concerns when the proposed use is combined with the other uses of the site, pursuant to Chapter 17-3.3 Access and Circulation.

PROBABLY OKAY

5. The use does not conflict (i.e., create a nonconformity) with the provisions of Chapter 17-3.4 Landscaping, Fences and Walls, Outdoor Lighting.

NEW UNIT DOES NOT CREATE A CONFLICT BUT WHOLE PROPERTY IS NOT CONFORMING BECAUSE HASN’T YET GONE THROUGH SITE DESIGN REVIEW

6. There is sufficient parking to accommodate the temporary use and other uses existing on the site, pursuant to the Chapter 17-3.5 Parking and Loading.

PROBABLY BUT SITE DOES NOT HAVE A CONFORMING PARKING LOT DUE TO LACK OF SITE DESIGN REVIEW APPROVAL.

??? GERALD???

8. The use does not create adverse off-site impacts including vehicle traffic, noise, odors, vibrations, glare, or lights that affect an adjoining use in a manner in which other uses allowed outright in the district do not affect the adjoining use.

PROBABLY OKAY

9. The use is adequately served by sewer or septic system and water, as applicable.

PROBABLY NOT, BECAUSE THE APPLICANT’S TENANT SPACE IS NOT SERVED BY WATER, OR SEWER…IS PROVIDED BY ADJACENT TENANT SPACE ??? GERALD???

10. The structure complies with applicable building codes.

I DON’T THINK SO…EACH PERMANENT TENANT SPACE NEEDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO SEWER, WATER AND AN ADA ACCESSIBLE BATHROOM

11. Except where specifically authorized by the Planning Official the length of time that the temporary structure may remain on a site shall not exceed six consecutive months.

IF WE DO GRANT APPROVAL, WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYTHING LONGER THAN SIX MONTHS

HASN’T YET OBTAINED A BUILDING PERMIT TO OCCUPY THE TENANT SPACE LEGALLY
