COUNCIL BUSINESS 28 A. 7:05 p.m. Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 7606, Approving an Interim 29 Use Permit for the Temporary Tent at The Mermaid, 2200 Highway 10. 30 31 Community Development Director Roberts explained that after the completion of the AmericInn 32 Hotel construction and renovation of the existing facility, The Mermaid erected a temporary 33 outdoor membrane structure for banquets and other events. At the time it was first erected, there 34 were no zoning regulations to address such a structure. In 2004, the City adopted new provisions 35 for temporary tent structures in business zoned districts and created an Interim Use Permit (IUP). 36 In March of 2005, the City approved a 5-year IUP for The Mermaid’s tent. The Mermaid has 37 applied for a new IUP in order to continue using the tent. 38 39 Community Development Director Roberts presented the City Code requirements for 40 consideration of an IUP, noting it is the same as the process to consider a Conditional Use Permit 41 (CUP). He noted the City code has eleven different conditions the IUP must meet to be 42 approved. The Mermaid’s tent does meet all conditions at this time and Staff recommends 43 approval for an indefinite period so long as the owner gets the necessary annual permits from the 44 City. 45
