§ 3390.04. Temporary use permit required.

No person shall use any building structure or premises or erect any building or structure for particular uses specified in this section except in compliance with a temporary use permit issued by the director as provided in this chapter.

(A)

A real estate office is permitted in any residential subdivision actively under construction, as determined by the director, for the purpose of selling lots in such subdivision. A model home may be used as a temporary sales office. A temporary use permit for such use may be issued for one year. At the end of a year, a new permit may be issued if the director determines that such subdivision is still actively under construction. A temporary use permit may be issued for a mobile home or portable building to be used as a temporary sales office to allow earlier sales for new developments pending completion of a furnished model home. Off-street parking requirements for the subject lot shall not be enforced during the term of either permit.

(B)

A mobile home for emergency housing for the victim of a fire or catastrophic loss is permitted on the lot where such loss occurred. A portable storage unit may be used in conjunction with such temporary housing. A temporary use permit for such use may be issued for 90 days, renewable for an additional maximum term of 90 days and may be subject to additional restrictions.

(C)

A temporary use of a building for seasonal celebrations such as a "haunted house" is permitted in any residential, commercial or industrial district for a period not to exceed 30 days one time each year.

(D)

A temporary structure or portable building is permitted on a Christmas tree sales lot in a commercial or manufacturing district. A temporary use permit may be issued for a period not to exceed 60 days and shall provide that such structure or building shall be removed by the first day of January.
