Per Section 390.0208A(1), Temporary uses are those uses that have the potential to create undesirable impacts on nearby properties if allowed to develop simply under the general requirements of this Chapter. In addition to such potential, temporary uses also have the potential to create undesirable impacts on nearby properties that potentially cannot be determined except on a case-by-case basis. In order to prevent this from occurring, all temporary uses are required to meet certain procedural requirements applicable only to temporary uses, in addition to the general requirements of this Chapter and the requirements of the zoning district in which the subject property is located. Per Section 390.0208E(1), The Plan Commission, in its consideration of the submitted application, may make findings on each of the following criteria to determine whether the Temporary Use Permit shall be approved, approved with modification, or denied: a) All standards of this Chapter and other applicable Village, state, and federal regulations are met. b) The public health and safety is not endangered. c) Adequate public facilities, utilities, and open space areas are provided. d) Adequate control of stormwater and erosion are provided and the disruption of existing topography, drainage patterns, and vegetative cover is maintained insofar as is practical. e) Appropriate traffic control and parking are provided. f) Applicable performance standards, per Section 18.0800, are met. Staff recommend the Village Plan Commission recommend approval to the Village Board for a temporary use permit for 2026 operations at 373 W Geneva Street in described in the enclosed application more precisely identified by the following tax keys: WA518500001 Respectfully submitted, Allison Schwark Zoning Administrator Page 7 of 7
