(b) A licensed contractor engaged upon a project or construction for which a construction permit has been issued or if determined by the director of business and community services or his designee that a permit will be issued within a reasonable time frame (permit application has been received and has had at least an initial review of compliance with the codes) the contractor may temporarily use a construction trailer for office facilities in the location where the work is being done, provided further, such construction trailer shall not be placed upon the street but upon the property on which the permit authorizes the construction or for which construction plans have been submitted, and the same shall be removed immediately upon the completion of the work for which the permit has been issued or if the permit expires. In any event the construction trailer for office facilities may not be placed at or on the location where the work is being done prior to thirty (30) days before the construction permit has been issued. Due to the nature of the construction project, if it is impossible or impractical for the construction trailer to be located on the site where the work is being done, the contractor may request the zoning administrator to approve an off-site construction trailer location given the following conditions are met:
(1) The zoning district of the proposed trailer location must be the same designation or a more intensive zoning district than the zoning district of the construction site.
(2) A site plan must be submitted to the zoning administrator showing:
a. The proposed location of the construction trailer, and
b. Legal description of property, and
c. A minimum of two (2) temporary off-street parking spaces which comply with the dimensional regulations found in this Code, however are not required to be hard surface, and
d. A six-foot high solid fence placed along each property line where the adjacent use is residential, and
e. If there is any other use(s) on the property, the site plan must show that the operation of the existing use(s) is not disrupted to where the existing use(s) are made to be not in compliance with City Codes, and
f. The contractor must commit to return the site to its original condition or better upon completion of the construction project for which the permit was issued.
