Background/Discussion The applicant is requesting an amendment to a Conditional Use Permit (CU 95-02) which authorized a recycling processing center at 16501 US Highway 10. The site has operated under this CUP for a number of years, but the applicant is looking to modify the operation to better fit the current market. The site has fallen out of compliance in recent years, and this review seeks to bring the property into compliance with current standards. The applicant proposes an additional roll-off dumpsters to manage scrap materials, an area to place 10 storage containers, up to 20 cars staged for off-site recycling, a three-sided covered storage structure, and approval of an area to store metal outside of the structures. Recycling centers are intended as a location for customers to drop-off recyclable materials. The operation processes and prepares the materials for recycling off-site. The staging of vehicles for processing off site is permitted. However, vehicles and machinery may not be salvaged or disassembled. This is considered a salvage yard and is not under review for this site. Applicable Regulations The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. A Recycling Processing Center has the potential to detrimentally affect adjacent parcels and the public health, safety, morals and comfort of the city. These facilities are tightly regulated by county, state, and federal regulations. The use will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. Staff have included several conditions to ensure compliance with all state and local standards. 2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The property is guided for Business Park/Industrial Uses. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. The area surrounding the site is largely developed, and the proposed use is a modification of the existing operation. The requested impacts will occur within the existing fenced in area. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public Page 84 of 227
