In accordance with Development Code Section 82.04.040(b), a “Recycling Facilities/Large Collection Facility” and “Recycling Facilities/Light Processing Facility” are permitted uses (within a completely enclosed structure) within the SD-COM zoning district, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. A detailed and comprehensive analysis of the Project is included within the Planning Commission Staff Report and attached as a supporting document to this item.
The Project has been analyzed with the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).
