Honorable City Council
Jill R. Myers, Solid Waste Coordinator
ITEM-
11 {.
DATE: May 10, 1994 (CC Meeting of May 18, 1994)
SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance Amending Solid Waste Ordinance 123,
Municipal Code Chapter 8.36., Section 050 for the Purpose
of Addressing the Placement and Storage of Solid Waste
and Recycling Containers
BACKGROUND
On February 25, 1994, the City received a complaint from a resident
about the storage of solid waste containers. The resident is
concerned about the unsightliness of the receptacles stored at a
residences in locations visible from the street and adjacent
properties.
The Moorpark Municipal Code, Chapter 8.36 does not currently
address the proper placement and storage of solid waste or
recycling containers at times other than on regularly scheduled
collection days.
The Public Works, Facilities, and Solid Waste Committee
(Councilmembers Wozniak and Montgomery) and staff believe it is
appropriate to address the storage of solid waste and recycling
containers in the Municipal Code.
As you are aware, this item was originally scheduled for
consideration at the April 6, 1994, City Council meeting.
Councilmember Wozniak expressed concerns about the last sentence of
the proposed language_ The Public Works, Facilities, and Solid
Waste Committee discussed this matter and determined that the
inclusion of the last sentence would make enforcement difficult due
to the varied elevations of adjacent lots. After discussion by the
Committee, the last sentence was deleted.
The Public Works, Facilities, and Solid Waste Committee and staff
propose that the following language be included in the Moorpark
Municipal Code:
"No receptacle or bin shall be stored in any required
side yard that abuts any public street or in any required
front yard. Every receptacle or bin shall be stored in
a manner such that it is screened and not visible from
the street, sidewalk, or alley. Ne reeeptaele —er n
shall be- stered in a l- eeatren visible
}"
