(B) Application. An application for an interim use permit is to be made on forms available from the Zoning Officer and must be signed by the owner of the property in question. The application must be accompanied by a fee in the amount set forth in Chapter 33. The applicant may be required to provide a site plan, any special studies requested (e.g. traffic, environmental, wetland, or utility studies) and written documentation that includes: (1) A complete description of the use; (2) Schedule for commencement of the use; (3) Hours and dates of operation; and (4) Evidence that the applicant has sufficient control over the lot to effectuate the proposed plan, or evidence that the property owner has given the operator permission to use the premises. (C) Planning Commission action. The Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing and make a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or denial to the City Council. In the event the Planning Commission recommends denial of any application for an interim use permit, the reasons for such denial shall be provided identifying the ways in which the proposed request fails to meet the standards and intent of this Ordinance and is otherwise injurious to the public health, safety, and welfare. (D) City Council action. An interim use permit may be granted only by a majority vote of all members of the City Council after determining that: (1) The proposed use will not delay permanent development of the site; (2) The proposed use will not adversely impact implementation of the Comprehensive Plan; (3) The proposed use will not be in conflict with any provisions of the City Code on an ongoing basis; (4) The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or otherwise harm the public health, safety, and welfare; and (5) The date or event that will terminate the use has been identified with certainty. (E) Standards. (1) The term of an interim use permit must not exceed 5, 10, 15, etc. years. (2) Because of the temporary nature, an interim use permit is not subject to renewal, but upon re- application for a time extension of the same use on the same site beyond the date of expiration of its interim use permit, succeeding interim use permits may be approved for up to 5, 10, 15, etc. years each if the City Council makes the findings set forth in Subprovision D hereof in the affirmative and also finds that all previous conditions of approval have been satisfied and that the use meets all Code requirements or has received appropriate variances from those requirements. (F) Expiration and Termination. (1) An interim use permit expires and the interim use must terminate at the earlier of the following: (a) The expiration date established by the City Council at the time of approval, but in no event more than (five, ten, fifteen, etc.) years from the date of approval; (b) The occurrence of any event identified in the interim use permit for the termination to the use; or (c) Upon an amendment of the City Code that no longer allows the interim use. (2) Unused interim use permits expire 6 months after approval if the proposed use has not commenced. A land owner may apply to the Zoning Administrator for no more than 1 time extension of up to 6 months for an unused interim use permit. (3) Interim use permits expire if the interim use ceases operation for a continuous period of 1 year or longer. Page 2
