A. A developer proposing a temporary use of land or building which would otherwise require an approval under provisions of this chapter is required to obtain a temporary use permit prior to any site work except surveying, and except that temporary buildings associated with the construction of a permitted use do not require a permit. The planner may issue an approval under the same procedures as for an administrative approval pursuant to WMC 16.12.020. No building or use shall be permitted under this section which requires a variance from the dimensional standards of WMC 16.24.030.

B. Within five days of the expiration of a temporary use permit, all buildings and other materials associated with the temporary use shall be removed from the site and the site restored to a suitable condition prior to the development of the temporary use. The planner’s inspection of the property shall determine compliance. If the planner determines that site restoration is not satisfactory, then the city shall be empowered to take such measures as are necessary to restore the site. Costs of such restoration shall be calculated and charged to the property owner. (Prior code § 16.43.404)
