Item Description Reviewed by

• Ordinance Amendment relating to Recycling Reviewed by
Processing Centers, Case No. OA 16-10
Action Requested
Recommend, by motion,approval of the Ordinance Amendment as proposed.
Background/Discussion
The City Council directed staff to expand the definition of Recycling Processing Centers to allow the
staging of vehicles for salvage or processing off site. Staff recommends expanding the definition to allow
staging vehicles for recycling,but continue to prohibit on site salvage or processing.
Staff proposes the following language for the definition of Recycling Processing Centers:
Recycling Processing Center means land or buildings where reusable materials are bought, sold, exchanged,
stored, baled, cleaned,packed,disassembled or handled,including metal,rags,plastic,paper, cardboard,
rubber (excluding tires),glass and wood products, or where segregated waste materials are reprocessed
intt) usable, salable products. The staging of motor vehicles and motorcycles for processing off site shall
be permitted. The salvage of motor vehicles,,motorcycles,and machinery parts are not included and shall
be prohibited at a recycling processing center.
A significant amount of our zoning uses are not defined and staff is currently working on creating,
modifying, and combining many definitions as they relate to the land development regulations. It is
anticipated the definition of motor vehicle will be any self-propelled vehicle, except motorcycles, designed primarily
for transportation of passengers(70 or less)or goods along public streets or alleys, or other public ways.
Specific number of vehicles allowed to be staged will be reviewed and determined during the Conditional
Use Permit process.
