A. Existing Recycling And Trash Bin Enclosure: If the development activity is a tenant improvement for a site, not requiring significant site improvements, that has an existing trash enclosure, then the required recycling containers for the facility shall be located inside the trash enclosure. If it is not possible to locate the required recycling receptacles in the trash enclosure, based on the municipal utilities director's estimate of required volume, then recycling receptacles shall be located adjacent to the existing trash enclosure. Any proposed modifications to the existing trash enclosure shall comply with the requirements listed in section 13.66.030 of this chapter.
B. No Existing Recycling And Trash Bin Enclosure: If the development activity does not have an existing trash enclosure, the development may be required to install a trash enclosure that will meet the requirements of section 13.66.030 of this chapter. If it is determined by the municipal utilities director that there is insufficient space to construct a trash and recycling enclosure, the required recycling receptacle shall be located adjacent to the existing trash receptacles. Any proposed recycling and trash enclosure shall comply with the requirements listed in section 13.66.030 of this chapter. The municipal utilities director shall have the authority to grant exceptions to the requirements under section 13.66.030 of this chapter based on space and access considerations.
C. Waiver Of Parking Requirement: In order to meet the required recycling volume requirement for the size of the facility, the planning commission and/or city council may grant a waiver to reduce required parking through approval of a variance. The municipal utilities director and the community development director shall have the authority to grant the use of parking spaces for the location of recycling receptacles, provided the enclosure or receptacles meet the design specifications in section 13.66.030 of this chapter and the reduction in parking spaces does not violate the minimum requirement for the development.
