It is the intent of this section to authorize the zoning administrator to permit temporary uses that are clearly compatible with the uses permitted in the zoning district in which the temporary use is located. To this end, the zoning administrator shall have broad latitude to determine when such temporary uses are compatible, appropriate, and can be approved in a given zoning district.

For any temporary use, the zoning administrator is authorized to require additional installation standards or conditions of establishing the temporary use to ensure compatibility of appearance and functional safety of the temporary use and the site on which it is located. Adequate parking and traffic maneuvering space must be located on the same property as the temporary use.

A special temporary outdoor event shall be considered and approved only on the basis of a site plan and letter of intent reflecting conformance to the above requirements. The application shall address hours of operation, placement of bathroom and other public facilities, parking, and security. The application shall also address whether amplifying equipment will be used and if so police department review and approval shall be required.

A special outdoor event may be authorized subject to permit approved by the zoning administrator, provided that the duration of the event does not exceed 15 consecutive days, and provided further that special outdoor events shall not take place more frequently than twice in any calendar year on the same premises. Any two special outdoor events on the same premises must be separated by at least 30 consecutive days.

On sites where educational or religious facilities are permitted, one or more temporary classrooms, which may be manufactured homes, may be permitted as temporary uses by the zoning administrator, upon application and after the issuance of a building permit, for a public school, private school, or church.
