Temporary Use/Structure

Temporary Use: A temporary use is a use that is on a site between three days and three months.  Garden City Code 8-2C-38 regulates temporary uses.  If the use is more than three months or comes back to the same site after being removed it is considered a permanent use. If the use is longer than 3 months, it needs to go through the process of becoming a permanent use. A temporary use is processed as a new business.  Please refer to the link for a tutorial for new  or changing businesses.

Temporary Structure: Temporary structures are allowed for up to six months.  They can house a permanent use, such as providing shade for a wine bar, or a temporary use such as a fireworks stand. Temporary structures are governed by the International Building Code.
