II. Review and Approval:
1.	Upon submittal of a complete application, Staff will review the proposed temporary use for conformance with 
Peoria codes and policies.  Certain temporary uses require a 5 day posting period to notify the public of the 
planned use.  For uses which do not require posting, the application will be processed within 5 working days.  
Uses which require posting will be processed within 10 working days.  The applicant will be informed in writing of 
the City’s decision regarding the proposed use.

party of interest may appeal the decision to the Board of Adjustment.  The proposed use may not be established 
until the expiration of the 7 day appeal period.

III. Discontinuation of Use:

the applicant shall notify the City who will perform an inspection to determine that the property has been 
returned to its previous condition.

IV. Permit Renewal:
1.	Temporary Use Permits are approved for a specific time period, not to exceed 60 days (except for off-site

Article 14-25-7 of Peoria’s City Code.

V.  Other Approvals:
