An exception to this prohibition may be obtained during construction of a principal residence or in the case of special hardship by applying to the Building Commissioner for a Temporary Use Permit under Section 3.030 of this resolution. Additionally, this prohibition does not apply to commercial campgrounds, travel trailer parks and overnight campgrounds as described in Section 3.310 of this resolution."
