The intent of this chapter is to establish regulations and procedures
for the conduct of temporary and seasonal sales events, including,
but not limited to, the sale of Christmas trees and related holiday
decorations, tent sales, farmers markets and similar sales events
conducted in open air or outdoor locations, or within a building or
structure, in the Town of Kent, New York.
As used herein, "temporary sales event" shall mean the use of
any building, parcel, lot or portion thereof for the wholesale or
retail sale of merchandise to the general public when such use is
for a specified, limited period of time.
The application shall be accompanied by an application fee in
an amount set by the Board.
The temporary sales event may occur on any lot in the Industrial/Office/Commercial (IOC) District and the Commercial (C) District, and on any lot of four acres or more in the R-80 Residential District, as designated, and set forth in Chapter
77 of the Kent Town Code.
The duration of the license shall be established by the Town
Board at the time of approval of the license. The Town Board may permit
a temporary sales event on a seasonal or periodic basis in the sole
discretion of the Board.
This chapter shall not apply to garden shops or nurseries or other businesses which maintain as part of their regular business outdoor display and sales areas and which are open for business throughout the year. Such uses and businesses shall be subject to the requirements of Chapter
77 of the Kent Town Code.
