Requests for a temporary use not listed herein or a proposed use that characteristics do not comply with the provisions of this Chapter must be considered by the City Council.

In granting approval, the City Council may attach additional conditions, as they deem appropriate to ensure the use will not create any negative impacts to persons or property. The City Council may also require a bond to insure that necessary clean-up or restoration work will be performed.
