B.

The provisions of this section are to apply when the proposed use does not qualify as a continuation of a conforming use, not permitted by right, nor permitted through the operations or other more pertinent procedures and provisions of this Zoning Ordinance; provided, however, temporary use permits are not to be construed, permitted nor utilized as a means to abrogate the intent, purpose or procedures of the city's Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Ordinance regulations.

C.

No temporary permit shall be granted which would have the effect of creating a permanent rezoning or result in a hardship when the use is not permitted to continue at the expiration of the permit periods. Further, no temporary permit may be granted which has the effect of conferring special privilege for which other property within the same zone may not be equally eligible.

14.9.420 - Standards for temporary mobile home for relative care.

As a temporary use in every zone, the city may allow one accessory mobile home dwelling complying with the standards of Section 14.9.100 of this Chapter, except subsections 14.9.100(B) and (F) and the manufactured date of June 15, 1976 in subsection 14.9.100(A), and providing that no additions to the mobile home shall be permitted in conjunction with a primary dwelling with the following findings:

A.

That an accessory dwelling is necessary to care for or provide custody of an elderly, mentally handicapped or infirm relative who a medical doctor certifies is in need of this kind of care or custody.

B.

Residential utilities and facilities can be provided. Septic feasibility is required prior to approval.

C.

A temporary use permit granted under this section is void when the elderly, mentally handicapped or infirm relative who is the subject of the permit moves to another residence, or is absent from the residence for more than one hundred twenty days or leaves the residence with no likelihood of returning. Exception to the one hundred twenty day limit can be provided for because of extraordinary circumstances such as an extended hospitalization.

Within thirty days of the permit becoming void or revoked, the accessory mobile home dwelling shall be removed by the owner of the real property unless otherwise approved by the City.

E.

The City may review permits issued under this section at any time and may revoke the permits when they are found to be not in compliance.

Any accessory mobile home dwelling placed under a permit authorized by this section must be located as close as possible to the primary dwelling.
