Subd. 1. Opt Out of M.S. § 462.3593. Pursuant to authority granted by M.S. 462.3593, subd. 9, the City of Corcoran opts out of the requirements of M.S. § 462.3593, which defines and regulates Temporary Family Health Care Dwellings.

Subd. 2. Temporary Structures (including manufactured homes on a temporary basis) shall only be permitted as provided below:

A. Reconstruction. During the reconstruction of a home that has been damaged or destroyed and is uninhabitable, the City Council may grant a permit for a period not to exceed one year for a temporary structure in any zoning district.
B. The City Council may grant an Interim Use Permit with stipulated time limitations for the temporary utilization of manufactured homes or other temporary structures as living quarters when a special hardship is found to exist. Such hardship shall be generally a result of age or a physical handicap of a blood relative. The following conditions shall apply in such situations:

Any person requiring such temporary habitation shall make application to the City Council for an Interim Use Permit. The request shall state the location, type of structure, length of time the structure will be used, and the reason for the need of such structure.

The Building Official shall review each proposal and report his findings and recommendations to the Council.
If the City finds that the public health, safety, morals and general welfare will not be impaired and will not be affected adversely, it may grant a temporary habitation, provided that the person so applying shall enter into a written agreement with the City as to when such occupation is to cease. No permit for temporary habitation shall be granted for a period longer than one year, and the City may revoke such permit upon 90 days written notice if and when it finds:
- a. That the public health, safety, morals or general welfare are being impaired by such habitation.
- b. That the continued existence of such habitation conflicts with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
- c. The temporary habitation structure has been abandoned or put to any use other than that stated in the application as the reason for the need of such habitation.
- d. That the value of public or private property is being affected adversely thereby.
Extensions of such permits may be obtained only by reapplying to the City for an Interim Use Permit amendment.
The sanitary sewer and water supply serving temporary habitation shall comply with all applicable rules, regulations and standards of the State Board of Health and of the County of Hennepin.
Any material used to insulate around the exterior of or underneath such temporary habitation shall be noncombustible and nontoxic.

C. The City Council may also grant an Interim Use Permit with stipulated time limitations for any other temporary structures without a determination of hardship provided these temporary structures are not used for habitation. The following conditions shall apply in such situations:

Any person desiring a temporary structure shall make application to the City Council for an Interim Use Permit. The request shall state the location, type of structure, length of time the structure will be used, and the reason for the need of such structure.
