A. User Guide. This section establishes a mechanism whereby the city may, on a short <br /> term basis, permit a use to be conducted that would not otherwise be allowed in the zone <br /> in which it is located. This section is intended to permit certain inherently temporary <br /> uses, such as community festivals and fresh vegetable stands, that would not be allowed <br /> in the zone in which they are proposed, but which, if limited in time and strictly <br /> controlled, may be in the best interest of the Everett community. <br /> B. Process for Deciding Upon a Proposed Temporary Use. The city will use Process I, <br /> described in Chapter 42 of this title, to review and decide upon an application for a <br /> temporary use permit. <br /> C. Application Information. The applicant shall provide the following information to the <br /> planning department: <br /> 1. A completed application on the form provided by the planning department, along with <br /> all information requested in that form; <br /> 2. An irrevocable, signed and notarized statement granting the city permission to <br /> summarily abate the temporary use and all physical evidence of that use if it is not <br /> removed by the applicant within the period specified as part of the permit, and agreeing <br /> to reimburse the city for any expenses incurred by the city in abating the temporary use; <br /> and <br /> 3. Written permission from the owner of the property upon which the temporary use is <br /> proposed to be located authorizing the proponent to use the subject property for the stated <br /> purposes and time period. <br /> D. Criteria for Granting a Temporary Use Permit. The city may grant a temporary use <br /> permit only if it finds that: <br /> 1. The proposed temporary use will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, <br /> or injurious to the property or improvements in the immediate vicinity; and <br /> 2. The proposed temporary use is compatible in terms of location, access, traffic, noise, <br /> nuisance, dust control and hours of operation with existing land uses in the immediate <br /> vicinity; and <br /> 3. The proposed temporary use is not otherwise allowable in the zone in which it is <br /> proposed. <br /> E. Dimensional Requirements and Development and Performance Standards. The city <br /> shall establish dimensional requirements and development and performance standards as <br /> part of the approval of each temporary use permit. The city will use the nature of the <br /> proposed use and character of the surrounding area as guides in establishing these <br /> requirements and standards. <br /> F. Frequency and Duration of Temporary Use. The city may not grant a temporary use <br /> permit to the same user for the same use more frequently than once in every three- <br /> hundred-sixty-five-day period. The city may only grant a temporary use permit for a <br /> specified period of time, not to exceed sixty days. The temporary use permit shall specify <br /> a date by which the use shall be terminated. <br /> G. Removal of a Temporary Use. The city shall designate, as part of the temporary use <br /> permit, a period following the expiration of the permit within which the temporary use <br /> must be terminated and all physical evidence of the use must be removed by the <br /> applicant. If the temporary use and all physical evidence of the use are not removed <br /> within the time specified, it will constitute a violation of this title. Further, the city is <br /> 9 <br />
