However, to adequately address this use and the temporary placement of 34 directional signs (prohibited under the Sign Regulations section of the City Code) an 35 INTERIM USE PERMIT is required. 36 37 5 INTERIM USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS 38 5.1 Section 10 12.09 (Interim Uses) of the City Code establishes the regulations pertaining to 39 INTERIM USE PERMITS. 40 41 a.

Although the Planning 57 Division can find nothing in the Industrial Districts requirements that would specifically 58 prohibit the staging or holding of motor coach vehicles on a temporary basis, the 59 determination was made that it would be in the best interest of Meritex Enterprises, 00 FMCA, and the City to require an INTERIM USE PERMIT. of PF08- 021_RCA_061608.doc Page 2 of 5
