§ 62-1949. Solid waste management facilities.

All solid waste management facilities shall be subject to the site plan requirements of this chapter and the requirements of chapter 94 of this Code. Both of the listed conditional uses "composting facility" and "mulching facility" may be applied for in addition to the remaining facilities defined in section 62-1102, specifically "air curtain incinerators," "biomedical waste incinerators," "materials recovery facility," "transfer station" and "volume reduction plant" from this conditional use; however, the application for the conditional use "hazardous waste facility" shall be required to be applied for from its own section, labelled section 62-1933 of this Code. The following conditions are the minimum conditions necessary to meet the intent of this section.

(1)

Sites shall be located with direct access to roadways designated as minor arterial or principal arterial roadways, or be located such that access is through areas designated by the comprehensive plan as Heavy or Light Industrial.

(2)

A minimum lot size of ten acres shall be required for transfer stations, materials recovery facilities, or incinerators; all other approved activities shall require a minimum lot size of 40 acres.

(3)

An eight-foot high visually opaque vegetative buffer shall be required to be developed and maintained along the perimeter of a site approved and developed under this conditional use permit request where the adjacent lot is not zoned Heavy Industrial (IU-1).

(4)

All activities and structures (except office and equipment storage buildings) shall meet a minimum setback of 400 feet from all property lines. The applicant may submit justification to the board during the application of this conditional use permit to reduce the required setbacks to 100 feet.

(5)

Office and equipment storage building setbacks shall be consistent with the standard setbacks imposed by that specific zoning classification.
