§ 9-115. Temporary permits.

(a)

Permits. The county manager or a designee may issue a temporary permit effective for a period of time not exceeding seven (7) days to allow noise prohibited by section 9-110 when produced by a temporary use or activity which does not significantly endanger the health, safety or welfare of the community. Such relief may be granted in situations where additional time is required for the applicant to modify his or her activity to comply with the provisions of section 9-110, or the activity or sound source is of a highly temporary nature, and the activity cannot be performed in a manner which will comply with this article, or if no reasonable alternative is available to the applicant. The county manager or a designee may prescribe any conditions deemed necessary to minimize any adverse affect upon the community. A permit granted hereunder shall contain all conditions upon which the permit has been granted, and shall specify a reasonable time period not to exceed seven (7) days, during which the permit shall be in effect. No more than three (3) temporary permits for the conduct of special events extending past 11:00 p.m. and which violate the prohibitions in section 9-110 shall be issued for a particular location within any twelve-month period, except that additional temporary permits may be issued for special events which the county manager or a designee finds to be of community-wide interest and public benefit.

(b)

Appeals. Any applicant for a temporary permit pursuant to this section may appeal a decision of the county manager or a designee to the board of adjustment within fifteen (15) days of the decision which is adverse to the applicant. Review by the board of adjustment shall be de novo.
