Complete 2693 applications shall be reviewed in a public hearing before the Planning Commission and acted upon by 2694 the City Council according to the process set forth in Chapter 108. If a proposed interim use is denied, 2695 an application for substantially the same interim use on the same property shall not be accepted within 2696 1 year of the date of the denial. 2697 D. General Standards and Criteria: When approving a proposed interim use, the Planning Commission 2698 and City Council shall make the following findings: 2699 1. The proposed use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to 2700 take the property in the future; 2701 2. The proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, and other public facilities; 2702 and 2703 3. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or otherwise harm the 2704 public health, safety, and general welfare. 2705 E. Expiration: An interim use approval shall expire and an approved interim use shall cease, at the 2706 earliest of: 2707 1. 5 years from the date of the approval; 2708 2. Upon the expiration date established in the approval; or 2709 3. Upon reaching some other expiration threshold established as a condition of approval. 2710 F. Renewals: If an approved interim use is to be continued beyond the date of its expiration or if an 2711 expired interim use is to be reinstated, an applicant shall follow the above process for seeking a new 2712 interim use approval. Notwithstanding this requirement, the City Council may approve extensions to 2713 the expiration of an approved interim use when: 2714 1. The approved interim use has not yet commenced; and 2715 2. The duration of the approved interim use is not to exceed 3 months. 2716 3.
