Per Valdez Municipal Code, temporary land use permit requests not to exceed six months in duration may only be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission if the desired use is in conformance with the existing zoning and/or comprehensive plan. In reviewing temporary land use permit application 20-04, staff determined the use requested by Pruhs Construction to be in accordance with the comprehensive plan goal to provide the maximum range of community services and facilities, especially on a short term and temporary basis.
On June 10, 2020 The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve TLUP #20-04. If Council does not object to this approval, staff will prepare a temporary land use permit document using standard language approved by the City attorneys and include any conditions required by the Commission.
