• Junkyard - Land or buildings where waste or discarded or salvaged materials <br /> are bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, cleaned, packed, disassembled or <br /> handled, including, but not limited to scrap metal, rags, paper, rubber <br /> products, glass products, lumber products and products resulting from the <br /> wrecking of automobiles or other machinery. The outdoor storage of two or <br /> more inoperative motor vehicles shall also be considered a junkyard. Storage <br /> of such materials in connection with the permitted manufacturing process <br /> when within an enclosed area or building shall not be included. <br /> Staff is proposing to add a definition for "recycling processing center" to read <br /> as follows: <br /> Recycling Processing Center - Land or buildings • _ _ . _ .a e e '_.. e _: e <br /> salvaged reusable materials are bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, <br /> cleaned, packed, disassembled or handled, including but net limited to scrap <br /> metal, plastic, rags, paper, rubber, glass and wood products. and product° <br /> • - •• - .

The salvage of automobile and machinery parts are not included <br /> and shall be prohibited at a recycling processing center. Sto-r-ago—of—s.uoli- <br /> materials in conxectiei with the permitted rnaufacturing process when <br /> • within an onclosod area or building-41E111 not be included. <br /> The proposed definition of"recycling processing center" will delete the phrase <br /> "where waste or discarded". The reason for removing this phrase is to <br /> exclude any reference that a "recycling processing center" could accept solid <br /> waste in any form or act as a transfer station. Staff is also proposing to <br /> remove the reference of products resulting from the wrecking of automobiles, <br /> and is proposing to add a new definition of "junkyard" which defines <br /> automobile salvage. Staff is also proposing to remove the last sentence of the <br /> definition related to storage of similar materials in connection with a <br /> permitted manufacturing process within an enclosed area or building. Both <br /> the City Attorney and staff did not feel that this was necessary. The <br /> following is the proposed new definition of"junkyard". <br /> Junkyard - Land or buildings where products resulting from the wrecking of <br /> automobiles or other machinery is bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, <br /> cleaned, packed, disassembled or handled. The outdoor storage of two or <br /> more inoperative motor vehicles shall also be considered a junkyard. <br /> The amendment would also include adding "recycling processing centers" as a <br /> conditional use in both the I-1 (Light Industrial) and I-2 (Medium Industrial) <br /> zoning districts. Junkyards are currently allowed as a conditional use in the <br /> • I-1 (Light Industrial) and I-2 (Medium Industrial) zoning districts. Staff is <br /> not proposing to change where junkyards are allowed at this time. <br /> s:planning:pc:95-04 <br />
