Recitals.
The City adopted a new Section 4-13, Temporary Uses and Structures, in the Zoning and Development Code in June 1994. Since that time, the Community Development Code Enforcement and Planning Divisions have been working to begin enforcing this necessary regulation. While doing so, some particular temporary uses and issues related to temporary uses have brought to light items in the new section that need further clarification including the sale of produce in residential areas, the sign allowance and requirements for a temporary use, and provision in the Code for signs erected by non-profit organization for fund raising purposes.
The Grand Junction Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed text amendment at its October 11, 1994 hearing.
