Project Description
The proposed collection facility will consist of an office, bathroom, and open warehouse
area within 2,356 square feet of leased space. The main purpose of the facility will be to
collect California Redemption Value (CRV) recycling materials, which include aluminum,
plastic, and glass. In the future, the facility will also accept non - ferrous materials, including
but not limited to, scrap metal, aluminum, copper, brass and stainless steel. The proposed
facility will have up to three (3) employees per shift and operate seven (7) days a week.
The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.;
Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The employees working at the facility will receive, weigh, and separate materials received
by customers into predetermined containers. After the material is received, the customers
are compensated monetarily for the materials. Once the recycled materials are collected,
the plastic and aluminum cans will be compacted, the glass will be crushed by the glass
breaking machine located at the back of the building, and the non - ferrous materials will
remain in the scrap metal containers. It should be noted that there will not be any collection
or use of hazardous materials at the facility, nor will there be any outdoor storage of
materials. All of the materials received will be collected every two (2) weeks by
independent companies to be processed off -site.
Analysis
The applicant does not expect to encounter any traffic related impacts given the nature of
the collection facility's operation. The facility has three (3) assigned parking spaces and
four (4) visitors' parking spaces for a total of seven (7) spaces. In addition, each customer
is anticipated to be serviced within five (5) minutes (on average) of arrival. While there is
expected to be 30 to 50 customers during a nine (9) hour period on weekdays, the average
number of customers an hour will be approximately five (5). On Saturdays, which is
expected to be the busiest day of the week with approximately 80 customers, there will be
approximately ten (10) customers per hour coming to the facility. Sundays are expected to
PC August 2, Item No. 3

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2011 -06
AUGUST 2, 2011
PAGE 3 OF 3
be the slowest day of the week with no parking issues anticipated since many of the other
tenants in the center will closed.
Given the distinct issues associated with recycling collection establishments, staff is
recommending a variety of conditions of approval including but not limited to hours of
operation, maintenance of the facility, noise, outdoor storage, and the prohibition of
disposal or collection of hazardous materials on the premises. Staff believes the proposed
use, with the attached conditions of approval, meets all applicable development standards
and criteria outlined in Chapters 17.136 (M1- Limited Manufacturing District), Chapter
17.168 (Conditional Use Permit) and Chapter 17.176 (Noise Control).
Environmental
Staff determined that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000 et seq.: "CEQX) and the CEQA Guidelines (14
C.C.R. §§ 15000 etseq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15301 (1) (a) (Existing Facilities).
The site is fully developed and only minor interior alterations are planned in association
with the proposed use.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2011 -_ and
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2011 -06 for the proposed 'Recycling Collection
Facility" based on the Findings, Exhibits, and proposed Conditions of Approval.
