Temporary Use Permit

Temporary Use Permits are required for short-term activities that support community events, seasonal operations, or the establishment of permitted uses, including construction-related needs or public functions. These uses must be conducted in a manner that does not create a negative impact on surrounding properties or the community. Examples of temporary uses may include carnivals and circuses (not exceeding seventy-two (72) consecutive hours), swap meets, tent revival meetings, and other similar activities as determined appropriate by the Zoning Administrator.

Applicants must submit a completed application to the Zoning Administrator along with the required fee and any supporting documentation, which may include a site plan or additional information necessary for review. Each application will be evaluated based on its consistency with the intent of the Town’s regulations.

Temporary Use Permits may be approved, conditionally approved, or denied by the Zoning Administrator. When approved, permits will include specific time limits and conditions designed to protect adjacent properties and ensure public safety. These conditions may address parking, hours of operation, noise, lighting, site restoration requirements, and may include bonding or other assurances for cleanup or removal of temporary structures or equipment.
