SUBJECT:
REQUEST:
Staff Report:
Temporary Commercial Buildings
That the Board Accept for use
by the Staff of a Procedure
Guideline for permitting
temporary commercial buildings
The Planning Staff developed a procedure guideline during
January to deal with a growing land use concern City wide.
There are numerous new business activities that are proposed
for placement in temporary buildings of various. structural
types. These range from tents to fully wired and plumbed
transportable structures.
In an effort to deal with the proliferation of these uses
and assure that regulation does not stifle such enterprising
activity, staff developed the guide to permits.
Attached as a part of this agenda item is a copy of the
guide.
Staff has held meetings with other City department personnel
and have determined that the procedure can work at least as
an interim procedure until the 1991 Ordinance Amendments
deal with long term.
As you will recall, the Staff presented this subject to the
Board on January 29, for an opinion and direction. This
material is the result of the comments of the Board.
The Staff will propose to the Planning Commission that the
criteria set forth by the interim guideline be placed in the
permanent ordinance.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
February 25, 1991
The Staff briefly updated the issue, reminding the Board
that this is a follow up to the conversation with staff at
the January meetings.
The Enforcement Staff has initiated use of this guideline as
an interim administrative tool.
Staff outlined the Planning Commission schedule for adoption
of an Ordinance Amendment for long term solution.
After a brief discussion by the Board, the interim Procedure
Guideline was unanimously endorsed.

Item No 5
SUBJECT:
REQUEST:
Staff Report•
Temporary Commercial Buildings
That the Board Accept for use
by the Staff of a Procedure
Guideline for permitting
temporary commercial buildings
The Planning Staff developed a procedure guideline during
January to deal with a growing land use concern City wide.
There are numerous new business activities that are proposed
for placement in temporary buildings of various structural
types. These range from tents to fully wired and plumbed
transportable structures.
In an effort to deal with the proliferation of these uses
and assure that regulation does not stifle such enterprising
activity, staff developed the guide to permits.
Attached as a part of this agenda item is a copy of the
guide.
Staff has held meetings with other City department personnel
and have determined that the procedure can work at least as
an interim procedure until the 1991 Ordinance Amendments
deal with long term.
As you will recall, the Staff presented this subject to the
Board on January 29, for an opinion and direction. This
material is the result of the comments of the Board.
The Staff will propose to the Planning Commission that the
criteria set forth by the interim guideline be placed in the
permanent ordinance.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: February 25, 1991
The Staff briefly updated the issue, reminding the Board
that this is a follow up to the conversation with staff at
the January meetings.
The Enforcement Staff has initiated use of this guideline as
an interim administrative tool.
Staff outlined the Planning Commission schedule for adoption
of an Ordinance Amendment for long term solution.
After a brief discussion by the Board, the interim Procedure
Guideline was unanimously endorsed.
