The purpose and intent of allowing interim uses is:

   (A)   To allow a use for a temporary period of time until a permanent location is obtained or while the permanent location is under construction;

   (B)   To allow a use that is presently judged acceptable by the City Council, but that with anticipated development or redevelopment, will not be acceptable in the future or will be replaced in the future by a permitted or conditional use allowed within the respective district; and

   (C)   To allow a use which is reflective of anticipated long-range change to an area and which is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan provided that the use maintains harmony and compatibility with surrounding uses and is in keeping with the architectural character and design standards of existing uses and development.

(Prior Code, § 11-6-1) (Ord. 258, passed 5-4-2006)

   (A)   The date or event stated in the permit;

   (B)   Upon violation of conditions under which the permit was issued;

   (C)   Upon change in the zoning regulations which renders the use nonconforming; or
