Any temporary use permit is required for all temporary activities, subject to the provisions of Section 17.12.070 (Temporary use permits) of this code. (Ord. 590 § 1(part), 1996).

A. Applications for temporary use permits to operate a temporary activity must be submitted to the community development department for review for zoning compliance at least ten days prior to commencement of the activity. Plans will be referred to the fire department, building division and police department for review and comment during the ten-day period. Plans must include the following information:

• 1. Property lines, sidewalks;
• 2. Existing and proposed temporary structures, including utility poles and fencing;
• 3. Off-street parking, including driveway entrances and exits;
• 4. Lighting;
• 5. Temporary signs;
• 6. Description of intended use;
• 7. Hours of operation. (Ord. 590 § 1(part), 1996).

A. No temporary activity governed by this chapter shall violate the following:

• 1. Interfere with pedestrian traffic using a public sidewalk;

• 4. Present a hazard to the public health, safety or general welfare;

To insure that sites are cleaned up after the temporary activity has ended the community development director may require an applicant to deposit with the city the sum of five hundred dollars. The return of the deposit will be conditioned upon the permittee completely cleaning up the temporary activity area, including any off-street parking area, of all rubbish, waste matter, debris or temporary improvements made in connection with the temporary activity. Any cleanup expense incurred by the city will be deducted from the deposit. (Ord. 590 § 1(part), 1996).

Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter and the regulations in Chapter 17.12 may be suspended or revoked by the community development director for violation of the provisions contained in this chapter or for breach of a condition specifically placed on a permit or for violation of any law of the state of California or the city.
