Upon receipt of a complete application for a temporary use permit, the building official must review the proposed use for its likely effects and surrounding properties and its compliance with the general provisions of this chapter.

1. Requirements for vehicle access and parking;
2. Restrictions on hours of operation;
3. Limitations on signs and outdoor lighting;

The following temporary uses are permitted as of right, without obtaining approval from the building official:

1. Garage sales conducted in R districts or on lots occupied by residential dwelling units no more than 2 times in any calendar year and for no more than 4 consecutive days per occurrence. These limits apply on a per-lot basis, regardless of the person conducting the garage sale. No person conducting a garage sale may sell merchandise at the garage sale acquired solely for resale purposes. Garage sales are sometimes referred to as “yard sales,” “estate sale,” “moving sales,” “occasional sales” and other similar names. All such sales, by whatever name, are classified and regulated as “garage sales.” Authorization to conduct more than 2 garage sales in any calendar year requires review and approval in accordance with the special use procedures of 11-15-5.
