2. (2) the date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty;
3. (3) permission of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future; and

4. (4) the user agrees to any conditions that the governing body deems appropriate for permission of the use.

   Any interim use may be terminated by a change in zoning regulations.
