A. Time for review. A Waste Management Plan submitted with a complete permit application shall be approved or denied no later than ten (10) business days after submittal. The approval may include conditions reasonably necessary to meet the standards of this chapter.
B. Approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, no permit shall be issued for any large event or large venue facility unless and until the Waste Management Plan has been approved, based upon the following findings by the Waste Management Plan Compliance Official:
1. All of the information required for obtaining a permit has been provided;
2. The plan establishes a mechanism that will reduce the amount of waste disposed in landfills through waste prevention, reuse, and recycling of materials at venues facilities and special events, and stimulate markets for recycled-content materials. The target should be as close to fifty percent (50%) reduction as is practicable as determined by the types of materials generated at the special event or venue facility.
C. Information issued with permit. If approved, the city shall provide information to the operator on programs that can be implemented to reduce, reuse, and recycle solid waste materials generated at the event or venue facility, and provide contact information about where solid waste materials may be donated, recycled, or composted. This information may include, but is not limited to, providing information directing the operator of the large venue facility or large event to appropriate web sites or direct mailings, brochures, or other relevant literature.
D. Denial. If the Waste Management Plan Compliance Official denies the Waste Management Plan, the grounds for denial shall be clearly stated, in writing, and shall be provided to the applicant along with the advisement that the denial may be appealed pursuant to this chapter.
