The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards for temporary uses and structures in Millcreek so that they may be operated in an orderly way that minimizes impacts.

1. The development standards in this chapter shall apply to all zones in Millcreek in addition to the development standards of the governing zoning district.
2. Temporary uses are uses that do not exceed thirty (30) days in duration and that do not require permanent structures or improvements that are not already established with an approved permanent use and site plan. Temporary uses and structures lasting more thirty (30) days in duration or are not similar to allowed primary uses in a zone, may only be authorized with a conditional use permit, unless otherwise permitted in Table 18.58-1, Temporary Use Types and Limitations.

A temporary use permit reviewed and approved by the Planning Department is required prior to establishment or use activation for all temporary uses and structures, unless only a business license is required.

1. Permit applications shall be submitted to the Planning Department and include the following:
   1. Proposed use and time frame of use and/or structure.
   2. A site plan that outlines the size, appearance, and location of the use and/or structure(s), access to public streets, temporary lighting, fencing, temporary signs, and any required parking and site improvements.
   3. Hours of operation.
   4. Property owner’s authorization.
2. Certain uses/structures may require a building permit, a special events permit, or a mass gathering permit in addition to the temporary use permit. Land use approval of a temporary use permit may be subject to obtaining building permits, special events permits, mass gathering permits, or approvals from other agencies with jurisdiction.
3. Most uses require a business license or an active business license for the principal use.
4. The Planning Director shall review a temporary use permit. That review may include the approval of other reviews by other agencies with jurisdiction, such as UDOT, the Unified Fire Authority, The Salt Lake County Health Department, applicable water and sewer service providers, and the Millcreek Public Works and Building Departments.

1. Uses and structures not listed below or in Table 18.58-1, Temporary Use Types and limitations, are not permitted as temporary uses or structures.
