This Chapter is intended to comply with SB 1383, the, Short-lived Climate Reduction Act of 2016, and its implementing regulations. SB 1383 Regulations place requirements on cities, single-family residential dwellings, commercial businesses including multi-family residential dwellings, commercial edible food generators, self-haulers, food recovery organizations and food recovery services to achieve statewide organic waste disposal reduction targets to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane. SB 1383 requires the City to adopt and enforce an enforceable mechanism, such as the ordinance codified in this Chapter to implement SB 1383 Regulations. (Ord. 2945 § 1, 2022)
