Each permit shall be renewed every three years in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the commissioner; provided that for the first renewal of permits after this amendatory ordinance of 2007, the commissioner may renew the permits, based on a random selection, as follows: (1) one-third of the permits shall be issued for a one-year period with a fee equal to one-third of the three year permit fee; (2) one- third of the permits shall be issued for a two-year period with a fee equal to two-thirds of the three year permit fee; and (3) one-third of the permits shall be issued for a three-year period.
No initial recycling facility permit shall be issued for any class of recycling facility set forth in Section 11-4-2540 unless the activity for which a permit under this section is required is a permitted or special use within the zoning district where such facility will be authorized to operate.
If a permittee under this section fails to submit in a timely manner the annual recycling report required under Section 11-4-250 or submits an incomplete annual recycling report, such permittee's permit under this section shall not be renewed by the department of public health until such time that the annual recycling report required under Section 11-4-250 is submitted and is complete.
