A. De minimis waivers. The City may waive a commercial business' obligation to comply with some or all of the organic waste requirements of this Chapter if the commercial business provides documentation that the business generates below a certain amount of organic waste material as described in § 5.08.020.A.2., below. Commercial businesses requesting a de minimis waiver shall:
1. Submit an application specifying the services that they are requesting a waiver from and provide documentation as noted in § 5.08.020.A.2., below;
2. Provide documentation that either:
a. The commercial business' total solid waste collection service is two (2) cubic yards or more per week and organic waste subject to collection in a blue container, green container or brown container comprises less than twenty (20) gallons per week per applicable container of the business' total waste; or
b. The commercial business' total solid waste collection service is less than two (2) cubic yards per week and organic waste subject to collection in a blue container, green container or brown container comprises less than ten (10) gallons per week per applicable container of the business' total waste.
3. Notify the City if circumstances change such that the commercial business's organic waste exceeds threshold required for waiver, in which case such waiver will be rescinded;
4. Provide written verification of eligibility for de minimis waiver every five (5) years, if the City has approved a de minimis waiver.
B. Physical space waivers. The City may waive a commercial business' or commercial property owner's obligations to comply with organic waste collection service requirements if the City has evidence from its own staff, a hauler, licensed architect, or licensed engineer demonstrating that the premises lacks adequate space for the collection containers required for compliance with the organic waste collection requirements of § 5.08.015.
