in reply to Darby Hoover, NRDC's comment
The language in those requirements is making the property owner responsible for complying with applicable city and state laws. Otherwise, there is no permit required.
in reply to Tawnya's comment
If a residential use is the primary use of the lot, composting would be allowed as an accessory use and would require compliance with the proposed use-specific standards. If a community garden is the primary use of the lot, composting would be allowed as part of that use.
in reply to Dawn Dewey's comment
After careful consideration, we chose to regulate these uses by site acreage rather than volume because it’s easier to verify during enforcement after the use is in place, consistent with how many other uses in the IDO are regulated.
Suggestion
Re both 4-3(D)(2)(a) and (2)(b): We recommend that small and medium scale composting facilities should not be subject to permitting requirements. However, we understand there may be state-level laws requiring this. If that is the case, we suggest working with the state to explore carveouts or regulatory exceptions for community composting. For more background on this recommendation, please refer to page 8, foot note 48 of the NRDC/ELI Model Municipal Ordinance on Advancing Community Composting (link).
So the In-Lieu-of-fee would allow no open space?
why so prescriptive? My building has condos smaller than 650 sf
Should use the larger, 2,600 sf value. Or better yet, no specified maximum.
Good idea!
Suggestion
light vehicle fueling, repair, and sales should be conditional in all residential and mixed use.
should also be changed to C for MX-M
shouldn't it be whichever is smaller?
Suggestion
I believe I read that an exception/clarification is being written in to the changes to ensure that back yard composting by one household in a residential zone is permitted, but I didn't see that in this section. I know that there are also several neighborhood/neighbor operated community compost collection sites for multiple households, which are still very small piles. I hope that this regulation isn't going to disallow these types of community led composting initatives which have been functioning now for several years?
Suggestion
Suggest compost facility size be determined by the volume of organics being processed rather than the acreage of the land. Depending on the composting methodology, the size of the operation can vary dramatically on the same size of land.
Suggestion
Why are small and medium sized compost facilities categorized under Agriculture and Animal-Related, while Large Compost Facilities are categorized under Waste and Recycling? It seems there should be consistency.
Suggestion
Please include Mixed Use land as permissible for large composting facilities, just like small and medium compost facilities.
