Plans for waste storage on certain premises to be approved before issuance of building permit; proof of commercial solid waste service before issuance of certificates of use or occupancy

Before building permits may be issued for construction of commercial property, as defined in this chapter, plans for storage of refuse must be approved by the director or his/her designee as to location, accessibility, and number or adequacy and the permittee has provided proof of a contract with an approved commercial solid waste franchisee for construction debris containers to store and remove debris.

Failure to have or renew a certificate of use will be enforced pursuant to chapter 2, article X and nothing contained in this article shall prohibit the city from enforcing the City Code by any other means. The enforcement procedures outlined herein are cumulative to all others and shall not be deemed to be prerequisites to filing suit for the enforcement of any section of this Code.

For any location with a previously issued certificate of use, which expires on an annual basis, the certificate of use holder must show evidence of a contract for commercial solid waste services with an approved commercial solid waste franchisee at the time of the annual renewal due date. Failure of the applicant to obtain a valid certificate of use will result in the following:

After 45 calendar days after re-issuance of a certificate of use, a $262.50 penalty violation will be issued for non-compliance.

After 90 calendar days after re-issuance of a certificate of use, a $525.50 penalty violation will be issued for non-compliance.

After 120 calendar days after re-issuance of a certificate of use, a $1,050.00 penalty violation will be issued for non-compliance.

Each additional 120 calendar days, a $1,050.00.00 penalty violation will be issued for non-compliance.
