Proiect List <br /> The projects related to the PEIG application are: <br /> 1. Zoning Design Standards to Promote Recycling and Organics Collection <br /> a. Project Lead: City Planner <br /> b. The purpose of the project would be to identify zoning code regulations that <br /> could require/promote the participation and collection of recycling from a <br /> building and site layout perspective. The scope would include multi-family <br /> residential and commercial new construction. <br /> c. Are there ways site design and building layout can encourage recycling <br /> participation?Are there site design requirements that make recycling/organics <br /> storage and collection easier? How can such standards be designed for flexibility <br /> to accommodate evolving approaches and technologies for collection of recycling <br /> and organics? What are the differences between multi-unit/family standards and <br /> those for commercial buildings, and will there be significant differences for <br /> different types of commercial uses that would be allowed in this new mixed use <br /> area of the City? <br /> d. Deliverable: Recommendations for best practices in zoning regulations related to <br /> designing into site plans and building layouts recycling accommodations for <br /> consumers, residents, and employees, as well as ease of collection by recycling <br /> service providers. <br /> e. Sustainability Impact: Promotion of waste reduction. This is important to the <br /> City as we move forward with TCAAP development to ensure residential and <br /> business development provides adequate access to recycling services, and ease of <br /> collection. <br /> f. Project Partners: Ramsey County Environmental Health Staff and Eureka <br /> Recycling <br /> 2. Site-wide Participation in City Recycling Contract <br /> a. Project Lead: City Planner <br /> b. The project would explore options for efficient, effective provision of recycling <br /> and organics collection services for commercial and multi-family properties, <br /> including the option of expanding City contracting for recycling. The scope of <br /> work would include both the implementation of providing recycling and organics <br /> collection services, as well as a review of the logistics of collection. <br /> c. Are there communities in Minnesota that offer city-contracted recycling services <br /> to multi-family residential properties and businesses? What are the best practices <br /> related to city-wide recycling and organics collections for commercial property? <br /> What are mechanisms that will allow a city to enforce participation? <br /> d. Deliverable: Description of best practices for ensuring and maximizing recycling <br /> and organics collection services and participation for multi-family and <br /> commercial buildings. These recommendations may lead into City Code <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> February 11, 2013,Regular Council Meeting <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
