Apply for a Special Use Permit

A special use permit authorizes a temporary use on a property for a special event, which may or may not be in compliance with its zoning standards. 

Special Use permits are commonly used for holiday sale events such as pumpkin and tree lots or firework sales tents.

Events such as festivals, concerts, sports related tournaments, and art/car shows are considered Special Events and need to follow the Special Event process.
