Interim Use - Applicable Regulations Before the city council may authorize an interim use, it must make the following findings: 1. The period of time for which the interim use permit is to be granted will terminate before any adverse impacts are felt upon adjacent properties. The ordinance (Section 30-801) states an approved IUP for a residential occupation shall terminate when the property is sold or when a lease has expired. The applicant acknowledges the temporary nature of the IUP. Although termination does not guarantee adverse effects will not affect nearby properties, the recommended conditions strive to prevent this outcome. 2. There is adequate assurance that the property will be left in suitable condition after the use is terminated. The proposed residential occupation will occur inside the house. Upon termination, the space will revert to a standard residential use with no remediation needed. 3. The use is similar to uses allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located. Residential occupations are allowed with an IUP in the R3 zoning district and remain secondary to the residential use of the property. 4. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. The ordinance states an approved IUP for a residential occupation shall terminate when the property is sold or when a lease has expired, so the termination of the use can be identified with certainty. 5. Authorizing the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. No public infrastructure or improvements are needed. If the public were to take over the property, no additional costs would be imposed on the public, as the proposed residential occupation will occur in the house and the site will be left in a suitable condition. 6. The applicant and user agree to all conditions that the city council deems appropriate for authorization of the interim use. This will be determined at the City Council meeting. 7. The applicant provides assurances deemed adequate by the city council that the use will terminate as provided in the interim use permit. The city council may require the applicant to deposit a cash amount with the city, or provide some other form of security, to ensure compliance with this criteria. Again, the ordinance states an approved IUP for a residential occupation shall terminate when the property is sold or when a lease has expired. Based on the scale of the use, a cash deposit does not appear to be necessary to comply with the criteria. 8. Authorization of the interim use will not result in adverse effects on public health, safety, or welfare. The proposed use will occur entirely within the house and, due to its low-impact nature, poses no known health or safety risks while preserving neighborhood harmony. Although the current exhibit depicting the house’s proposed location is subject to change, the final siting and intended use are not anticipated to create any health or safety concerns.
