Any application for such permit shall meet the requirements of Section 14.35.040, Provo City Code, and shall be made by the property owner, an authorized agent, or the applicant for the temporary use. The granting of said permit shall require the following findings:
(1) That the conduct of the requested use will not have any detrimental effects on adjacent properties and will be in general harmony with surrounding uses;

(2) The minimum required parking shall be two (2) spaces except that a reasonable number of additional parking places may be required. Such parking shall not have the effect of decreasing any existing parking that is required for any other use existing on the site. All parking shall meet the standards for off-street parking as specified in Chapter 14.37, Provo City Code.
(3) The layout of the proposed use shall be compatible with the access, parking, circulation, and other significant elements of any other uses or structures existing on the site.

A copy of the proposed agreement shall be part of the application.
(6) Approval for each temporary use permit shall bear an expiration date based upon the nature of the use. In no case shall approval be given for a period exceeding thirty (30) days except for farmers’ markets and shaved ice stands.
