(A) Temporary storage units and temporary dumpsters in all zoning districts shall be allowed only upon the issuance of a permit by the city. Permits shall be displayed on the outside of the container in such manner as to be plainly visible from the nearest street. The fee for permits shall be $100 per unit, except that there shall be no permit if such containers are to be located on a site for less than ten days. There is a $25 per day charge after ten days.
(B) Each permit application must be filled out and signed by the owners of the lot on which the temporary storage unit is to be located and contain all relevant contact information for both the owners and the company from which the unit is to be rented. The permit application shall be accompanied by a drawing showing where the unit is to be located and whenever possible, the unit must be located on the lot behind the rear wall of the principal structure and on a hard surface. Such unit shall be located no closer than ten feet to any property line and shall not be located in any required rear, front, street-side or side yard. If the lot configuration makes it impossible for that to occur, a case by case review of the placement shall be made by the Mayor as to whether to issue the permit for another location on the lot, given due regard to the public health, safety and aesthetics.
(C) No temporary storage or dumpster unit may be used to contain any hazardous material. Any possible hazardous material must be disclosed to the city at the time the permit application is made for review by the property city official, prior to the issuance of any permit.
(D) Storage and dumpster units must be in good condition, with no significant rust or deterioration. They cannot be greater than eight feet in height, ten feet in width and 20 feet in length. No more than two can be placed on any residential lot at one time, except for commercially zoned properties, provided they also meet the minimum requirement of the General Development/Detailed Development Plans; binding elements, and current regulation of such items in the Metro Louisville Zoning Regulations.
(E) Permits are good for a period of 20 days. There are no extensions. Only one permit for each owner each year.
