§ 14-401. Permits.

(a) Applications.

Any person that desires a temporary-use permit, as required by this Code, must file with the Zoning Administrator a written application, in the form that the Zoning Administrator requires.

(b) Authorization.

(1) The Zoning Administrator may grant temporary-use permits for temporary uses, whether the proposed use is specifically listed in this subtitle or, except for a use that involves alcoholic beverage sales, not specifically listed in this subtitle, as long as the Zoning Administrator determines that the proposed use complies with all applicable requirements of this subtitle and this Code.

(2) Unless otherwise limited, temporary uses may be allowed in any zoning district as long as that use is consistent with the purpose and intent of this Code and the zoning district in which it is located.

(1) No temporary use is allowed in any district if it would have a significant negative impact on any adjacent property or on the area as a whole.

(2) Unless expressly provided in this subtitle, every temporary use or structure must comply with the bulk and yard regulations applicable to the district in which it is located.

(3) As part of the temporary-use permit approval, the Zoning Administrator may impose other conditions, restrictions, or limitations as necessary to achieve the purposes of this Code and to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

(d) Enforcement.

(1) Whenever the Zoning Administrator learns of a violation of a condition, restriction, or limitation imposed on a temporary use, the Zoning Administrator must attempt to resolve it informally and promptly.

(2) If unable to resolve the violation, the Zoning Administrator must issue notice of proposed revocation.

(3) All notices must be served by 1 of the methods specified in § 19-207 {"Violation notice: Service"} of this Code.

(4) The notice of the proposed revocation must be sent to:

(i) the owners of record of the property, as shown on the tax records of Baltimore City;

(ii) the persons to whom the temporary-use permit was granted or the current operator; and

(iii) the Director of Planning.

(5) The notice must specify the nature of the violation and warn the recipient that, unless the violation is corrected within the time specified in the notice, the Zoning Administrator will either:

(i) revoke the permit;

(ii) suspend the permit subject to completion of corrective action or other condition; or

(iii) affirm the permit subject to a schedule for corrective action, with provision for automatic termination if the schedule is not met.
