(A) Definitions. “TEMPORARY DUMPSTER.” A temporary dumpster shall be defined as any large container having a capacity of not more than 40 cubic yards designed for the receiving, transporting, and dumping of waste materials on a temporary basis during demolition or construction projects and is not intended to include karts or dumpsters used for refuse or recycling collection as regulated in Chapter 92.
(B) Subject to division (C) below, the Community Development Director or designee may issue a permit for placement of a temporary dumpster at an existing single family residence temporarily for periods of no more than 30 days during periods of construction, remodeling, demolition, special events, or other valid temporary purpose. The Community Development Director or his designee may extend the length of time a temporary dumpster can remain on private property to a maximum of 120 days total in 30 day permit increments provided the dumpster is located on a property that has a valid building permit for major construction. No more than one such permit shall be issued with respect to a given single family residential address during a calendar year.
(C) Temporary dumpsters used in connection with the construction of a new building or renovation of an existing building within any non-residential zoning district may remain on the property throughout the duration of the construction or renovation only if a valid (and non-expired) building permit has been issued for the construction or renovation. The temporary dumpster must be removed within 30 days once the building permit has expired, or has been closed out by an inspection conducted by the Building Department. The applicant for any building permit involving the use of a temporary dumpster shall be required to inform the Building Department of the use of the same on building permit application, and to obtain the approval of the Department of Community Development of the location of the temporary dumpster.
(D) A temporary dumpster used on any property must be placed on an impervious surface such as an asphalt or concrete driveway or parking lot and must remain at least five feet from all property lines. Dumpsters, trash containers, trailers, construction trailers or equipment used for construction projects or used to remove debris from the site cannot be placed or parked on or in a public street or public way.
(E) The property owner must take all actions necessary to prevent any rubbish, materials, or garbage to become windblown from a temporary dumpster. Debris must be kept at a level below the top of the dumpster. If at any time the level of debris extends over the top of the temporary dumpster, the property owner shall empty the debris within 24 hours so that the debris remains at a level below the top of the dumpster.
