(PF3143) <br /> <br />1.0 REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 The City of Roseville has requested approval of an amendment to Section 1010.11 of <br />the City Code (Zoning) regulating residential, business, and industrial trash handling <br />equipment. <br /> <br />1.2 On November 22, the City Council approved the first reading or the proposed <br />amendments to Section 1010.11. <br /> <br />2.0 PURPOSE <br /> <br />2.1 The purpose of this ordinance is to update and clarifY the City's regulations regarding <br />trash and recycling compactors and containers. The intent ofthe amendments address <br />the current use of trash and recycling compactors and container, while protecting the <br />interest of adjacent property owners. <br /> <br />3.0 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />3.1 Section 1010.11, Trash Handling Equipment, states: Dumpsters, trash and trash <br />handling equipment shall be stored within a principal structure or within an attached <br />structure accessible from within the principal structure and serviced by an overhead <br />door to the exterior of the facility. If the structure is attached for this purpose, it shall <br />be of the same materials as the principal structure and accessible to the interior and <br />shall be roofed. A facility shall be located so as to be as inconspicuous as possible to <br />the contiguous public right-of-way. Such trash handling equipment storage areas shall <br />be of sufficient size to accommodate the separation of trash, including separate <br />provisions for paper, cardboard, glass, cans and miscellaneous refuse. <br /> <br />3.2 A commercial compactor can be used for recycling or trash compaction. It is self- <br />contained and attached to the building and h~s an integral ram that compresses the <br />material. Commercial compactors can range in size from 20 to 30 feet in length or <br />larger and based on a strict interpretation of the code, would be cumbersome and <br />costly to construct roofed structures around. <br /> <br />PF3143 - RCA (12/13/99) - Page 10f3 <br />
