Council adopts temporary-use permit for cargo containers with site-plan limits

Council approved an amended ordinance (Bill 5312) to add a new section to Chapter 500 establishing a temporary use permit for cargo containers on commercial properties. Members debated landscaping and screening language in the ordinance and asked staff to clarify how existing site plans would affect where containers could be placed; staff noted that screening and landscaping items shown on site plans are related to the proposed container locations and not newly required beyond existing site plan commitments.
