All mobile home parks, group quarters, and multi-family developments
of five or more units in residential zones shall provide a trash enclosure
for bins or other containers, with capacity, number and distribution
sufficient to provide adequate storage capacity of trash, recycling
and organics for the purpose of; screening the trash container(s)
from public view; maintaining any loose debris within the enclosure;
providing a permanent location for the container(s) that will not
encroach upon driveways, parking, pedestrian, and emergency access
areas; eliminating the accessibility of trash to the elements and
animals, and to prevent rainwater infiltration into the trash storage
area and run-off from reaching storm drains. The trash enclosure shall
conform to the following standards:
1.
All required trash enclosures shall meet the requirements as
shown in Illustration 19.524.010.
2.
Location. Enclosures shall be readily accessible
to building occupants, facility maintenance personnel, and to the
City's contracted trash hauler, and shall not interfere with other
activities on the site. An enclosure shall be located within 250 feet
of the appropriate doorway of each multifamily dwelling unit. Enclosures
shall provide adequate access to minimize effort in the collection
and removal of container contents from the enclosures. Such location
shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Division.
3.
Maintenance. All trash enclosures and adjacent
paving shall be maintained as a condition of the use.
4.
If the required expansion of any existing trash enclosure requires the removal of one parking space or increase in the number of compact parking spaces beyond what is allowed under Section
19.436.070 (Residential Parking Dimensions and Layout), it may be granted pursuant to review procedures provided under Section
19.128.090 (Zoning Compliance Review).
5.
All trash enclosures shall obtain approval for capacity, location,
and design from the City's franchise waste hauler before issuance
of a building permit.
