With direction, Staff will prepare a formal ordinance amendment for codification and publication. <br />Interim Uses are generally permitted to allow continued use of land pending some regulatory or market <br />change, anticipating that the use in question would not be appropriate in the future, or after some event. <br />Interim uses can be very effective in maximizing land use during this period of transition, and allow the <br />market greater mobility to accept these changes when they do occur. <br />In professional analysis, Staff recommends proceeding toward an interim use very cautiously, especially <br />based on an assumption that the use will choose to move when the market changes, because a market <br />change is often subtle at ground level. Additionally, the market change will need to be very pronounced <br />to offset costs in relocating a business, twice in three (or five) years. Any goodwill garnered from <br />allowing an interim use will be lost in requiring this use to abandon its improvements in the establishment <br />of the business. <br />If the Planning Commission or Council feels PR/T is an appropriate use in the BP zoning district, Staff <br />would suggest allowing it as a permitted use, rather than a interim use, to eliminate potential future <br />problems enforcing the interim use permit. <br />Respectfully Submitted <br />~~ <br />Jeremy Barnhart <br />Planning Manager <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />
