PI O 5/85
ANALYSIS:
The California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act of 1986 mandates
the establishment of convenience zones for recycling centers. These centers must be
located within the convenience zone, an area within one-half mile radius of supermarkets
as shown on the attached list. The recycling act impacts local governments in that
municipalities cannot deny a permit for a state certified facility. However, the City may
impose zoning restrictions and establish a review process.
Code Amendment No. 88-7 amends Article 922 of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code
to allow recycling facilities less than 500 square feet in size in commercial zones (C2 and
C4). Recycling facilities under 500 square feet consists of reverse vending machines, drop
off containers, mobile units and kiosk type containers. Larger type facilities usually are
the primary use on the site and may store the recycling material either enclosed or
' unenclosed. Such facilities are currently permitted in industrial zones subject to
appropriate regulations for industrial uses depending on the nature and location of the
facility.
Previous requests to permit recycling facilities in the City have been processed as a use
permit by the Zoning Administrator. These have included reverse vending machines and
drop off containers with an on-site attendant. Conditions of approval similar to the
model ordinance (attached) were imposed on these facilities smaller than 500 square feet.
Staff recommends that these types of facilities be subject to plan review approval by the
Director.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
Code Amendment No. 88-7 is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act.

Reverse vending machines are mechanical devices that

issue a cash refund or redeemable coupon. Some machines
will also dispense coupons and promotional materials. The
machines identify containers by reading the bar code, scan-
ning the shape, or by other methods.

What are the Permit
Co)-iditions for Reverse
Some communities will not require a permit for single feed
reverse vending machines,but will allow them as by right in
the same manner as soda or water vending machines. Other
communities will want the oversight of an administrative
permit. In either case,the conditions,as stated in Section 4:
Criteria and Standards of the Model Zoning Ordinance,
should mitigate any potential impacts.
The Division is recommending a simple,over the counter
approval procedure for reverse vending machines which
meet a set of standards. They would be approved as an
appurtenant use through an administrative use permit by the
appropriate city official such as the zoning administrator or

What Are the Permit Conditions
for Small Collection Facilities."
A small collection facility can be attractive and well main-
'' tained,or it can be a problem.The major impacts of concern
river are appearance, parking spaces occupied by the facility and
customers,and litter or trash left when facility is unattended.
The conditions,as stated in Section 4:Criteria and Standards
_ of the Model Zoning Ordinance,should mitigate any poten-
tial impacts.
Small collection facilities can have a wider variety of
ri impacts than reverse vending machines. Some small collec-
tion facilities can be standardized;others may be unique.For
that reason,and because it is generally an outdoor use,some
administrative oversight is needed. The Division is recom-
mending an administrative permit for small collection facili-

impacts local governments in that municipalities cannot deny a
permit for a state certified facility. However, the City may impose
zoning restrictions and establish a review process .
Recycling facilities under 500 square feet consists of reverse
vending machines, drop off containers, mobile units and kiosk type
containers . Larger type facilities usually are the primary use on
the site and may store the recycling material either enclosed or
unenclosed. Such facilities are currently permitted in industrial
zones subject to appropriate regulations for industrial uses
depending on the nature and location of the facility.
Previous requests to permit recycling facilities in the City have
been processed as a use permit by the Zoning Administrator. These
have included reverse vending machines and drop off containers with
an on-site attendant . Conditions of approval similar to the model
. ordinance (attached) were imposed on these facilities smaller than
500 square feet. Staff recommends that these types of facilities be
subject to plan review approval by the Director.

RE ®R
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Community Development
DATE: April 5, 1988
SUBJECT: STATE MANDATED RECYCLING CENTERS
1 . 0 GENERAL INFORMATION:
In the fall of 1986, AB 2020, the California Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act was signed into law. This
legislation established a beverage container recycling program to be
administered by the State. This program mandates the establishment
of convenience zones for recycling centers where consumers can
redeem for cash their beverage containers . These center must be
located within the designated convenience zone, an area within
one-half mile radius of supermarkets conducting a minimum $2 million
in business per year. A list of stores within Huntington Beach' s
"convenience zones" is attached.
The recycling bill impacts local governments by stating that
municipalities cannot deny a permit for a recycling facility that is
State certified and to be located on private property zoned
commercial or industrial . Since passage of the recycling law,
requests for recycling centers have been received only .for location
on commercial properties .
These requests are currently being processed as a Use Permit subject
to approval by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to S. 9220 . 1(c) (R) ,
"retail uses and services not specifically listed but of a similar
nature" . Staff recommends that an ordinance be implemented to allow
recycling center structures under 500 square feet in size in
commercial zones subject to plan review under Section 9220 . 10 . This
will reduce staff time in processing such applications since they
are minor uses and ancillary to the primary use on the premises
(i .e. shopping center, etc. ) . Of course, as in any review of
proposed uses or structure, compliance with the zoning code in terms
of setbacks, parking, landscaping, etc. is required and will be done
during the plan check process .

2 . 0 RECOMMENDATION:

centers and direct staff to prepare a code amendment accordingly.
