Community Development Director Roberts explained that after the completion of the AmericInn Hotel construction and renovation of the existing facility, The Mermaid erected a temporary outdoor membrane structure for banquets and other events. At the time it was first erected, there were no zoning regulations to address such a structure. In 2004, the City adopted new provisions for temporary tent structures in business zoned districts and created an Interim Use Permit (NP). In March of 2005, the City approved a 5-year NP for The Mermaid's tent. The Mermaid has applied for a new ICTP in order to continue using the tent. Community Development Director Roberts presented the City Code requirements for consideration of an NP, noting it is the same as the process to consider a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). He noted the City code has eleven different conditions the NP must meet to be approved. The Mermaid's tent does meet all conditions at this time and Staff recommends approval for an indefinite period so long as the owner gets the necessary annual pernuts from the City.
