This section establishes a mechanism whereby the city may, on a short term basis, permit a use to be conducted that would not otherwise be allowed in the zone in which it is located. This section is intended to permit certain inherently temporary uses, such as community festivals and fresh vegetable stands, that would not be allowed in the zone in which they are proposed, but which, if limited in time and strictly controlled, may be in the best interest of the Everett community. B. Process for Deciding Upon a Proposed Temporary Use. The city will use the review process as described in EMC Title 15, Local Project Review Procedures, to review and decide upon an application for a temporary use permit. C. Application Information. The applicant shall provide the following information to the planning department: 1. A completed application on the form provided by the planning department, along with all information requested in that form; 2. An irrevocable, signed and notarized statement granting the city permission to summarily abate the temporary use and all physical evidence of that use if it is not removed by the applicant within the period specified as part of the permit, and agreeing to reimburse the city for any expenses incurred by the city in abating the temporary use; and 3. Written permission from the owner of the property upon which the temporary use is proposed to be located authorizing the proponent to use the subject property for the stated purposes and time period.
