TEMPORARY USES AND STRUCTURES Purpose The purpose of this section is to authorize the establishment of certain uses (including special events) and structures of a limited duration—i.e., temporary uses and structures. This section also identifies the zoning districts in which such temporary uses and structures are allowed, identifies what type of permit or review is required to establish them, sets out general standards applicable to all temporary uses and structures, and sets out any special standards applicable to particular temporary uses and structures. This section is intended to ensure that such uses or structure do not negatively affect adjacent land, are discontinued upon the expiration of a set time period, and do not involve the construction or alteration of any permanent building or structure. Organization and Applicability Section 4.4.3, General Standards for All Temporary Uses and Structures, establishes general standards that apply to all allowed temporary uses and structures. Section 4.4.4, Temporary Use/Structure Table, shows whether a particular type of temporary use or structure is permitted or prohibited within the various zoning districts. Section 4.4.5, Temporary Use-Specific Standards, establishes standards that apply to particular types of temporary uses or structures regardless of the zoning district in which they are allowed or the review procedure by which they are approved, unless expressly stated to the contrary. These standards may be modified by other applicable requirements in this Ordinance. General Standards for All Temporary Uses and Structures Unless otherwise specified in this Ordinance, any temporary use or structure shall: A. Obtain any other applicable Town, County, State, or federal permits; B. Not involve the retail sales or display of goods, products, or services within a public right-of-way, except as part of an authorized not-for-profit, special, or Town-recognized or authorized event; C. Not be detrimental to property or improvements in the surrounding area or to the public health, safety, or general welfare; D. Be compatible with the principal uses taking place on the site; 4.4.1. 4.4.2. 4.4.3.
