RESOLUTION NO. 4563
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE GUIDELINES FOR THE PLACEMENT AND DESIGN OF
RECYCLING AREAS IN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section I: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, on September 26, 1994, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of an ordinance as
specified by Resolution No. 4562 which would add Chapter 19.81 to the Municipal Code and implements State law
regarding the provision of adequate and accessible areas for collecting and loading of recyclable materials in development
projects; and
WHEREAS, the siting, design, construction and accessibility of recycling areas and enclosures shall be subject to City
approval, in accordance with design guidelines to be adopted by the City Council.
WHEREAS, guidelines are at this time the most appropriate means to address the siting, design, construction and
accessibility of recycling areas for the following reasons:
a) That the type and amount of recyclable materials generated varies from business to business;
b) That new technologies and processes will eventually increase the proportion of solid waste that
will be useable and marketable as recyclable materials;
c) That the means of collection may vary from recycling vendor to recycling vendor; and
d) That the use of guidelines will increase the City's flexibility to respond to changes based on
experience and new information.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission allows staff at its own discretion to make additions, deletions or modifications to
these Guidelines as needed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of the maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter, the
design guidelines for recycling areas are hereby recommended for approval as follows:
SECTION 1: GUIDELINES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
A. Recycling areas should be designed to be architecturally compatible with nearby structures and with the existing
topography and vegetation.
B. The design and construction of recycling areas shall not prevent security of any recyclable materials placed in the
receptacles provided.
C. The design, constnzction, and location of recycling areas shall not be in conflict with any applicable federal, state, or
local laws relating to fire, building, access, transportation, circulation, or safety.
D. Recycling areas or the bins ar containers placed therein must provide protection against adverse environmental
conditions, such as rain, which might render the collected materials unmarketable.
E. Driveways and/or travel aisles shall, at a minimum, conform to local building code requirements for garbage
collection access and clearance. In the absence of such building code requirements, driveways and/or travel aisles should
provide unobstructed access for collection vehicles and personnel.
F. Directional signs clearly identifying all recycling and solid waste collection and loading areas and the materials
accepted therein shall be posted adjacent to all points of direct access to the recycling areas.
