The purpose of the interim use review process is to allow the 24 approval of interim uses on a case-by-case basis; approved interim uses shall have a 25 definite end date and may be subject to specific conditions considered reasonable and/or 26 necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare. 27 Open House Meeting: B.Prior to submitting an application for a proposed interim use, 28 an applicant shall hold a community open house meeting as described in Section 1009.07 29 of this Title. 30 Applications: C.The owner of property on which an interim use is proposed shall file an 31 application for approval of the interim use by paying the fee set forth in Chapter 314 of 32 this Code and submitting a completed application form and supporting documents as set 33 forth on the application form.
