(A)   The city recognizes a need to provide an alternative permitting process for certain uses which, if operated and sited in accordance with this chapter and uniform adopted standards, or for a limited duration, are generally deemed compatible with other permitted uses in certain districts. Administrative use permits, which may be revocable, conditional or valid for a term period, may be issued by the Community Development Director or designee for any of the uses or purposes for which the permits are required or permitted by the terms of this chapter.

   (B)   Assurance of compliance with adopted use standards shall be required prior to permit issuance.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.1) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 939, passed 5-20-2003; Am. Ord. 1018, passed 9-3-2013)

   (A)   Application for AUP shall be made to the Community Development Department in writing on a form prescribed by the Planning Commission and shall be accompanied by plans and elevations sufficient to show details of the proposed use of building and property and compliance with the applicable standards.

   (B)   The application shall be accompanied by a fee, to be fixed by resolution of the City Council, plus costs, no part of which shall be returnable to the applicant.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.3) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 939, passed 5-20-2003; Am. Ord. 1018, passed 9-3-2013)

   Conditions necessary to assure public health, welfare and safety may be attached upon approval of an AUP as determined by the Community Development Director or designee. Uses permitted with administrative use permits shall also be subject to those development standards applicable to the district for which the use is intended, except that the Community Development Director or designee may waive those standards based on the limited duration or scope of the project.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.5) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 939, passed 5-20-2003; Am. Ord. 1018, passed 9-3-2013)

   Applications for AUP shall be reviewed for compliance with sanitation, noise attenuation, pedestrian and vehicular safety, light intrusion, aesthetics and site restoration standards appurtenant to the intended, the surrounding land uses and the district for which the use is intended. If all identified impacts to the public health, welfare and safety issues noted above will be adequately addressed by project design, temporary operation or through applied conditions, the Community Development Director or designee shall approve and issue the administrative use permit.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.7) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 939, passed 5-20-2003; Am. Ord. 1018, passed 9-3-2013)

   Upon approval, and after expiration of the appeal period pursuant to Article XIX, a document titled “administrative use permit” shall be issued to the applicant. A copy of the document shall be placed in the official address file that is kept at City Hall. Final activation of the administrative use permit occurs when the construction, setup or other permit is issued and work commences on the site, or when the other action to commence operation occurs. If the project has not been activated within 30 days of approval, the administrative use permit shall be deemed expired.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.9) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000)

   Appeals of decisions regarding administrative use permits shall be submitted within ten days of the decision date to the Planning Commission along with a fee as set by resolution of the City Council, no part of which shall be refundable.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.11) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000)

   Because most administrative use permits (AUP) are intended to apply to temporary uses, AUP shall automatically expire 180 days after issuance unless otherwise specified on the face of the AUP.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.13) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 930, passed 7-3-2001)

   Upon a request submitted prior to the expiration of an administrative use permit, the Community Development Director or designee may approve one 180-day extension. The decision of the Community Development Director or designee may be appealed to the Planning Commission in accordance with § 25.133.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.15) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 939, passed 5-20-2003; Am. Ord. 1018, passed 9-3-2013)

   If not conducted in accordance with the applicable standards or conditions of approval, the Community Development Director or designee shall immediately advise the permittee of the non-compliant issue. The permittee shall be provided ten calendar days to correct the non-compliant condition after which the AUP may be immediately revoked.

(`61 Code, § 25.13.17) (Ord. 915, passed 6-20-2000; Am. Ord. 930, passed 7-3-2001; Am. Ord. 939, passed 5-20-2003; Am. Ord. 1018, passed 9-3-2013)
