Temporary Use Permits
Events on non-residential properties: A Temporary Use Permit (TUP) is intended to allow for the short-term placement of activities, many of which would be prohibited on a permanent basis. (17.68.010 MMC)
Not all special events require the issuance of a TUP. You will need a TUP if your activity involves any of the following:
-
Admission fee
-
Rental of a facility (e.g., the rental of a facility to hold a wedding or other event)
-
Charging guests for valet parking or shuttle service
-
Advertised events / Fundraisers
-
Events that take place outside of a business' building or outside the normal service area of a restaurant
You may also need a TUP for an event that includes the use of other parcels not owned by the TUP applicant.
NUMBER OF TUPS ALLOWED:
Non-Residential zones: A maximum of six (6) events per parcel per calendar year
WHEN TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION:
Applications for events that do not require a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) must be submitted a minimum of 40 days prior to the event date.
If an event requires a CDP, the application must be submitted a minimum of 90 days prior to the event. Generally, an event will need a CDP if it takes place between Memorial Day and Labor Day and will last more than one day from set-up to clean-up.
