@ STAFF REPORT
DATE : DECEMBER 16, 1987
TO : PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: ZCA 87-2 - RECYCLING FACILITIES - An amendment to tl
City's zoning ordinance to require and to condition:
allow recycling facilities.
I, RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2705 recommending APPROVAL of ZCA-87-2 based on the findings contained therein.
11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
This proposed zone code amendment (see Exhibit A) would revir
the zoning ordinance to address recycling facilities. The
amendment defines within which zones and under what general conditions the City would allow recycling facilities. The
amendment would also make it a general requirement for seller materials in redeenable recyclable containers to have small c
site rederrption facilities.
This amendment is necessary due to the enactment of the 1986
Caifornia Beverage Container Xecycling and Liter Reduction Ac (Public Resources Code Section 14500 et. seq.). That act
establishes redemption values for the recycling of glass, aluminum, plastic and metal beverage containers. The act alz
requires a recycling facility to be located within a "con-
venience zone" of 1/2 mile radius fron? any supermarket that grosses over two million dollars in sales a year. Presently
Carlsbad has four such "convenience zones" 1/2 vile around:
VGNS at El Camino Real and Highway 78, 2) BIG REAR at Elp anc
5, 3) SAFEWAY at Tamarack and 1-5, and 4) VONS at El Camino R
and La Costa Avenue, There is potential for several other su
zones within Carlsbad. These convenience zone recycling
facilities must be in place prior to 1-1-88 or stores face a
$100.00/day fine from the State Division of Recycling.
This amendment utilize6 the Model Zoning Ordinance and Local Government Guidelines developed by the State's Division of Recycling. These materials were developed by individuals wit significant experience in recyclinq. Staff has subsequently updated the material to reflect Carlsbad's unique concerns.

Page Two
The first section of the amer,dment defines the terms used by recycling facilities. These definitions came from the State
Division of Recycling.
The second section of the amendment requires future land uses
which sell recyclable materials or have the potential to creat
"convenience zones" to have reverse vending machine facilitiez
Reverse vending machines (RVM) are similar to coin operated s< machines, but instead receive cans and bottles and give back 1 redemption value. The amendment establishes certain guidelinf
to assure these facilities will be a positive contribution to sites' design, and to help establish a uniform recycling apprc in Carlsbad.
The third section establishes within which zones and under wh
situations recycling facilities would be conditionally allowe
Reverse vending machines and small collectior! facilities woul
allowed by CUP in all zones except residential. These facili
would basically be allowed if it was shown they are integral
of a site's design and cause no negative land use impacts. S
collection facilities are no inore than 500 square feet in are
These facilities basically allow people to conveniently drop a small volume of recyclables, When a sufficient amount of
recyclables are collected they are transported to a processin facility.
Large collection facilities would be conditionally allowed in
P, commercial and industrial zones. Larqe collection facilit are basically the same as small collection facilities, but ar
greater than 500 square feet in area and typically service la
scale recyclers.
Processing facilities primarily take collected recycled mater and process the material into a form for efficient shipment.
This material is shipped to a reuser of the material, such ac aluminum can or glass bottle manufactures. Processing
facilities would only be conditionally allowed in industrial zones. Processing facilities must comply with all applicable development standards which effect a given site such as zonir specific plans, site development plans, etc. In addition, certain conditions have been established to help assure processing facilities will be adeuuately sited, designed and operated.
In summary, this amendment represents an initial attempt in
managing recyclable materials in conformance with statewide
legislation, Both the inaustry and the statewide regulation:

fairly new. However, staff believes this amendment will give adequate direction to provide appropriate recycling facilitie within Carlsbad, consequently staff recommends approval.

The Planning Director has determined that this project will
have a significant impact on the environment and therefore ha issued a Negative Declaration on Novelnber 18, 1987.
