Pequot Lakes Staff Report 6 (c) - 1 January 21, 2016 NEW BUSINESS – INTERIM USES - DISCUSSION Agenda Item: 6 (c) Background Information: INTERIM USES Interim uses, as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462.3597, are allowed by the City after appropriate review by the Planning Commission. An interim use is a use that for a brief period will be compatible with existing or anticipated uses, or a use that is presently judged acceptable for an area until such time it will not be acceptable given anticipated growth patterns. An interim use will be reviewed in the same manner as a Conditional Use permit. All submittal requirements in Section 17-11.4 (B) shall be required for interim use permits. A. In addition to the review criteria for Conditional Use Permits, the following criteria shall be used for Interim use permits. The findings of fact shall include that: 1. The use conforms to zoning regulations; and 2. The date or event that will terminate the use; and 3. The permission of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future; and 4. That the user agrees to any conditions deemed appropriate by the City for the permission of the use. B. Any interim use may be terminated by a change in the zoning classification. Examples of an interim use would be a bed and breakfast, campground, contractor shop (plumber, electrician, etc.), extractive use, home occupations and temporary structures or uses. Staff Recommendation: Staff is bringing this to the Planning Commission as a discussion item only.
