Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Solid Waste Ordinance Update Prepared by: Rebecca Parnes, Environmental Technician EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On December 4, 2018 the City Council waived the reading and introduced an amended and restated Ordinance for Dublin Municipal Code Section 7.98, Solid Waste and Recycling Enclosure Standards, to establish design criteria and size requirements for enclosures at new developments and specifying locations that trigger a planning entitlement such as a site development review or conditional use permit. The City Council is now being asked to waive the second reading and adopt the Ordinance amending the Dublin Municipal Code Section 7.98. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Waive the reading and adopt an Amended and Restated Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Dublin Amending Chapter 7.98, Solid Waste and Recycling Enclosure Standards. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. DESCRIPTION: Dublin Municipal Code, Section 7.98, Solid Waste and Recycling Enclosure Standards governs the standards for waste and recycling enclosures associated with new commercial development, new multifamily development with shared enclosures, and for commercial development projects that require Site Development Review or a Conditional Use Permit. Section 7.98 was last updated on August 21, 2012, when City Council adopted Ordinance 13-12. Staff is recommending an amendment to Section 7.98 in order to streamline the design, review, and permitting of projects that include waste and recycling enclosures. Other recommended amendments will clarify the requirement for hose bibs and sanitary sewer connections; specify the maintenance requirements for enclosures; specify the placement and spacing of trash and recycling cans in new development; and specify where pet-waste disposal stations are installed in new development. Page 1 of 3 The proposed Municipal Code amendments intend to make waste enclosures easier and safer to use and incorporate greater stormwater pollution prevention strategies. This includes minor adjustments to enclosure design requirements related to size and ensures ease of use and serviceability during regular operations. The existing and new requirements for enclosure design are presented in a streamlined table as compared to the paragraph format of the current code. The proposed changes should result in the development, construction and operation of waste management infrastructure that is easy to use and is well maintained resulting in less litter on Dublin streets, parks, and in private developments. Description of the changes to the Municipal Code are outlined below: 1. Change current waste enclosure requirement mandating installation of a hose bib and sanitary sewer connection for all developments, excluding industrial uses, to only requiring installation of a hose bib and sanitary sewer connection for waste enclosures intended for use by food service establishments. This aligns with requirements of the Alameda County Health Department and with the Dublin San Ramon Services District. The proposed ordinance adjustment will reduce the cost of enclosure construction for locations that are non-food service establishments. 2. New requirement for proper ongoing maintenance and use of enclosures. This includes mandating all enclosures must be well maintained; used only to house trash, recycling, and organics containers; and that each business subscribes to the levels of service they need so to prevent overflowing of waste containers. In addition to preventing stormwater pollution, well maintained enclosures help prevent safety issues for employees that are servicing solid waste and for the solid-waste service provider when emptying waste containers. Good enclosure maintenance also reduces the instances of vector problems. 3. New requirement for new commercial and multifamily development projects or existing developments with documented ongoing litter issues to install and maintain public litter collection containers. This will help reduce litter inside and around shopping centers and multi-family properties. This proposed adjustment would require litter containers for trash and recycling at the entrance and exit of all properties, throughout the facility at every 300 to 350 feet, and within 10 feet of any food generating or selling store. Public litter containers installed will be required to match the design elements of the development. The owner or property manager will be responsible for emptying the containers a minimum of once a week and keeping the containers clean and graffiti free. 4. New requirement for property owners to install, maintain, and empty pet waste bag and disposal stations within new parks and trails, or at locations with an on- going pet waste litter concerns. This will help insure Dublin's parks and trails stay clean and reduce storm water issues related to pet waste. In an effort to streamline solid waste and recycling enclosure development, review, and permitting, Staff recently created two documents that are provided to all development applicants. The documents are titled "Waste Handling Standards for Commercial and Page 2 of 3 Multi-Family Properties" (Attachment 2), and "Waste Enclosure Requirements Checklist" (Attachment 3). The Waste Handling Standards document includes all requirements outlined in the Municipal Code as well as photos, diagrams, and greater detail on all items required by the Municipal Code. The Enclosure Requirements Checklist ensures that developers understand the requirements and that they provide the detail needed for Staff to fully review projects for compliance with the requirements. The goal is to make plan submittal and review related to waste enclosures more efficient for applicants and staff. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: The City held a public meeting on November 20, 2018 from 5:00-7:00pm. Information about the meeting was sent to businesses, multifamily properties, developers, and property management companies. Meeting information was also posted at several locations throughout the City. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance 13-12 2. Waste Handling Standards for Commercial and Multi-Family Properties 3.

Ordinance of the City of Dublin Amending Chapter 7.98 of the Dublin Municipal Code Relating to the Solid Waste and Recycling Enclosure Standards hris.Foss,City Manager` 12/11/2018 Page 3 of 3 • • ORDINANCE NO. 13-12 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN AMENDING CHAPTER 7.98 RELATING TO SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING ENCLOSURE STANDARDS The City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby ordain as follows: Section 1: Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"): This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) states that CEQA applies only to those projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but it sets forth the regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed to be constructed or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately. Section 2: Section 7.98.010 of the Dublin Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 7.98.010 Applicability. A. The requirements of this Chapter shall apply to all building or development permits for: 1. New commercial development projects. 2. New multi-family development projects with 5 units or more that will utilize shared waste and recycling enclosures. 3. Commercial development projects that trigger a Planning entitlement (such as a Site Development Review or Conditional Use Permit) and consist of uses, including but not limited to grocery stores, restaurants, markets, auto repair/use and daycares, that generate food waste, grease and/or vehicle fluids, and packaging material in addition to users that have the potential to pollute stormwater as determined by the Director of Public Works. 4. Any other project, including but not limited to tenant improvements, where the Public Works Department concludes that the use has the potential to discharge pollution into the City's storm sewer system. When this Chapter applies to a tenant improvement, the property owner or Applicant shall be responsible for making improvements only to the solid waste and recycling enclosure used by the tenant. Page 1 of 8 • • • Section 3: Section 7.98.030 of the Dublin Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 7.98.030 General Construction and Design Standards. The location, design and construction of enclosures for the set out and collection of garbage, recyclables, food waste, landscaping debris or other discarded materials shall conform to all applicable regulations set out in these standards and to all other provisions of the Dublin Municipal Code. A development may have multiple solid waste and recycling enclosures to meet the required amount of capacity. The Public Works Director shall review the design of all enclosures. All enclosures are subject to a Site Development Review permit. Standard enclosures shall have a minimum inside usable floor and wall dimension of 18 feet wide by 10 feet deep, to allow tenant and Collector access to the bins/carts and placement of bins sideways in the enclosure if necessary. In some instances, the required enclosure size may be greater than 18 feet by 10 feet. All commercial uses within the City must at a minimum provide adequate space for separate garbage bins, cardboard only bins and mixed recycling bins. In addition, food service establishments shall provide adequate space for food waste/organics. If a food establishment will generate grease, fat or tallow, adequate space for those containers is also required. The types and size of bins shall be based on the volume of tonnage generated by the development activity, as estimated by the Public Works Director, and with the aim of reducing, as much as possible, the number of service trips per week by the Collector. A. Height Clearance of the Enclosure Approach. The entire approach to and from the front of the enclosure shall have at least 18 feet of vertical clearance to accommodate refuse truck height. The area immediately in front of the enclosure itself, or the location where the bin will be serviced, shall have at least 32 feet of vertical clearance to accommodate the servicing of the bin. All projects shall provide clearance for front end loading vehicles, as defined below: Vertical (approach and exit) 18 feet high Vertical (when dumping bin) 32 feet high Lateral 15 feet wide B. Driveways. An asphalt or concrete driveway with 50 feet of straight, direct access that leads to and from the enclosures to the bin is required and shall be built to withstand trucks weighting up to 62,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). The driveway shall be built in accordance with the City Standard Plans and Specifications. C. Concrete Apron at the Approach. 1. The apron surface shall be the same elevation as the enclosure pad threshold and the surrounding surfaces, with a minimum slope of 1/8 inch (1% grade) per foot away from the enclosure pad so as to direct runoff away from the enclosure. Page 2 of 8 • 2. The apron shall extend 10 feet from the enclosure pad and be the width of the enclosure opening. To prevent damage to the asphalt paving caused by receptacle impact, the enclosure base shall be designed to withstand up to 20,000 pounds of direct force from a single truck axle. A sufficient strength concrete shall be used to prevent chipping. D. Concrete Enclosure Pad. 1. The enclosure pad shall be engineered to withstand up to 20,000 pounds of direct force from a single truck axle for any portion of the pad that is subject to vehicle traffic. 2. The enclosure pad surface shall be the same elevation as the apron threshold. 3. On the open side of the enclosure, a grade break line shall be constructed at the inside edge of the wall with the slab sloping inwards on the inside of the structure and away from the structure on the outside. 4. The ground on all other sides of the structure shall be sloped away from the structure. E. Enclosure Design. Enclosures shall be designed to provide adequate space for collecting and storing solid waste and recyclable materials, including mixed recycling, separated cardboard and food waste/organics (when appropriate). All solid waste and recycling enclosures shall be designed to provide for adequate capacity, based on the volume and tonnage generated by the development activity, as estimated by the Public Works Director, and with the aim of reducing, as much as possible, the number of service trips per week by the Collector. 1. Material: The design of the enclosure shall incorporate the same materials used for the primary buildings for a coordinated look and feel to the development. 2. Landscaping: In instances where the enclosure is visible from roadways or other public spaces, an irrigated 5-foot wide landscape strip running the length of the three non-gated enclosure walls shall be provided to allow for vines or large shrubs to shield the walls and discourage graffiti. 3. Height of walls: All enclosures shall have walls with a minimum height of 6 feet. 4. Roof: All solid waste and recycling area enclosures that are not located inside a building shall have roofs to prevent contaminants from washing into the storm drain system. The lowest part of the ceiling cannot be lower than 9 feet high. The roof shall extend past any open sides. Additionally, the roof shall not overhang the front gate so that the garbage trucks can access the bins. Page 3 of 8 • • 5. Inside Dimension a. All enclosures must have sufficient space for at least one bin for solid waste, a second bin of at least equal size for storing and collecting separated cardboard, and either a mixed recycling bin or cart for mixed paper, bottles and cans of sufficient size to collect mixed recycling items generated on-site. Enclosures that will be used by food establishments must also allow space for a separate food waste/organics bin of sufficient size to collect food waste generated on-site. b. The required interior dimensions shall not include space required for protective curbs or bumpers and shall allow for pairing of trash and recycling container(s) in the same enclosure. All bins must be configured inside the enclosure so as to ensure full access to the entire front area of the bin. c. If the enclosure will service food service establishments, adequate space must also be provided for waste cooking oil storage containers, which must be placed so that they will not interfere with the Collector's ability to service the enclosure, either by blocking access or as a result of leaking oil that creates a hazard for drivers. d. The enclosure shall be large enough to provide a minimum of 24 inches on each side of the bins, 24 inches between bins placed side by side and 36 inches from the front of the bin to the gate. If bins are placed facing each other, a minimum of 36 inches between bins is required. A protective buffer (cement curb, bollards or wood/rubber bumper) is required around all interior walls, including partial walls on the gated side, to prevent damage to the enclosure during servicing. Enclosure dimensions will increase depending on the size and number of required bins, which is dependent upon the use. Multiple enclosures may also be required, depending on the size of the development and type(s) of use, If there are multiple enclosures required, each enclosure shall have enough space to pair trash and recycling containers in the same enclosure, to ensure optimum diversion and to minimize contamination of recycling loads. All enclosures shall conform to the standards listed above. 6. Recycling Only Enclosures Smaller "recycling only" enclosures may be allowed in certain cases where an existing site has adequate enclosure space for trash, but it is not possible to locate the required recycling containers within the trash enclosure, based on the Public Works Director's estimate of required volume. Drainage requirements for recycling only enclosures will depend on the types of materials stored for recycling. Recycling only enclosures designated for separated non putrescible waste (i.e. cardboard only or mixed recycling bins or carts) shall be subject to a Site Development Review permit. Page 4 of 8 . 7. Gates Pedestrian Doors a. Double gates are required for enclosures that contain two or more trash or recycling bins. b. Gates shall be free hanging with no center pole. The gates/doors shall be designed to ensure access and removal of each bin from the enclosure without having to move another bin. c. Gates shall be solid metal painted to incorporate the overall design theme of the development with outside handles on each door and a slide latch to secure the doors. The solid waste and recycling area should not be visible through the gates. In addition, gates must be approximately the same size as the enclosure walls. d. The gated opening shall be a minimum of 16 feet wide. Gate posts shall be placed outside this span. e. Bolts shall be used to secure the gate to the poles or walls. f. The gate doors must be constructed with a mechanism that will provide a means of securing the gate doors in both an opened and closed position. All gates must be lockable using a standard padlock. g. A pedestrian entrance shall be provided for all enclosures. All pedestrian doors shall open outward to avoid interfering with placement of, and access to, containers. h. An accessible path of travel shall be provided from the main building to the pedestrian entrance door described above. 8. Lighting The area around and inside the enclosure must be lit with a minimum of 1.0 foot candle. A motion sensor is required. 9. Storage inside the Enclosure/ Maintenance a. The enclosure is for the storage of solid waste, mixed recycling, cardboard, organics and grease containers only. b. Enclosures shall be kept clean, with all recyclables and garbage to be placed in the proper receptacle. No trash or recyclables may be stored on the enclosure floor on either a temporarily or permanent basis. Storage of hazardous materials is not allowed in the enclosure. Page 5 of 8 • • c. All solid waste, mixed recycling, cardboard, organics and grease containers are required to have lids that must be closed when not in • use to contain litter and to prevent odor, pests and possible storm water pollution. In addition, all waste cooking oil storage containers must be leak proof and/or have secondary containment that does not interfere with access to cooking oil, trash or recycling containers. In addition, the waste oil hauler or property manager shall keep a supply on hand of material designed to absorb oil near the container in case there is a spill. 10.• Waste Water Pollution Prevention a. Solid waste and recycling enclosures, with the exception of industrial uses, shall have a drain connected to the sanitary sewer. A hose bib shall be available for periodic wash down. b. The Applicant must contact the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) for specific sanitary sewer connection and discharge requirements. Sanitary sewer connections and inclusion of a grease or sand/oil interceptor shall be in accordance with DSRSD standard specifications. c. In accordance with DSRSD discharge regulations, solid waste and recycling enclosures servicing industrial uses are prohibited from draining into the sanitary sewer system. Waste generated from these users shall be directly taken to the appropriate waste facility. d. Stormwater is prohibited from entering the sanitary sewer system; therefore, all solid waste and recycling enclosures that are connected to the sanitary sewer system shall have a roof to prevent stormwater from entering the sanitary system. Grading around the solid waste and recycling enclosure shall be designed to drain stormwater away from the enclosure. F. Enclosure Location & Accessibility. 1. All solid waste, recycling and organics receptacles shall be placed so as to be readily accessible for removal and emptying by the collector, but they shall not be placed within the vehicle traveled portion of any street, road, avenue, way or alley, or at any location so as to constitute a nuisance, pursuant to Section 5.32.070. 2. All bins/enclosures are required to have direct access for collection trucks during normal solid waste, recycling and organics collection days and hours. Direct access means the collection truck can directly access the bin, and insert the forks into the sides of the bin without the driver having to get out of the truck to move the bin. A minimum straight approach of 50 feet is necessary to line up directly with the bin. Page 6 of 8 • 3. Provide a turn around or separate exit that allows the truck to move forward rather than backwards. Maximum back-up distance is 50 feet (unless a greater distance is approved by the Franchise Hauler) far any maneuver and shall be in a straight line. • 4. Solid waste and recycling enclosures shall not be placed in front of fire hydrants and no enclosure shall be placed within 5 feet of a combustible building wall, opening, or combustible roof eave line. 5. Solid waste and recycling enclosures shall not be installed behind parking spaces except for instances with unusual site constraints. 6. For safety reasons, the turning radius shall be adequate for a 3-axle truck and shall have a minimum outside turning radius of 45 feet. A turnaround must be provided for any street, driveway or travel aisle that would otherwise require the collection truck to back up a distance greater than 150 feet. 7. Truck Specifications: a. Front End Loader vehicles need a minimum of 50 feet of unobstructed clearance to access the solid waste and recycling enclosure. Commercial collection vehicles access the solid waste and recycling enclosure at the front of the vehicle. • • b. Vehicles servicing Roll-off containers need a minimum of 132 feet to approach and load the container, and 30 feet of overhead clearance. Roll- off containers are 20 feet in length and 8 feet wide. The weight of a Roll-off container cannot exceed 10 tons when full. G. Existing Development. . • If an existing development does not have an existing trash enclosure, the development may be required to install a trash enclosure that meets the requirements of this Section 7.98.030. Section 4: Section 7.98.090 of the Dublin Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: 7.98.090 Exceptions. Applicants that believe they need .a smaller enclosure than required in the City's Enclosure Design Standards, may request an exception from the Public Works Department. The Public Works Director or his or her designee shall have the authority.to grant exceptions to the requirements of this Chapter including, but not limited to, the requirement to connect to the sanitary sewer, and the location, design and construction requirements. The Public Works Director or his or her designee shall review the requests for exceptions on a case by case basis. In instances where the Public Works Director or designee waives the requirement to connect to the sanitary sewer, alternative options may be required, including but not limited to the installation of filters in the storm drain inlets. The determination of the Public Works Director may be appealed to the City Manager. Page7of8 • • Section 5. Severability. The provisions of this Ordinance are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or.circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, words or parts thereof of the ordinance or their applicability to other persons or circumstances.

Overview The Waste Handling Standards document includes: A. Information on design, construction and operational phases of multifamily, commercial, industrial, or government projects B. Waste generation guidelines to help assess the level of garbage, cardboard only, mixed recycling, and organics service required for each project C. Details on garbage, cardboard only, mixed recycling, and organics container sizes D. Instruction on the design, dimensions,placement, construction, and maintenance of waste enclosures Key Terms A. Solid waste- items discarded from a business including garbage, recycling, and organic material. Hazardous waste and electronic waste are not included in this definition and must be handled separately. B. Garbage- items such as plastic film, broken furniture, broken dishes,polystyrene, diapers, pet waste, tattered clothing, and other items that are not acceptable for recycling or organics collection. C. Recycling—items such as cardboard, mixed paper(newspapers, magazines, office paper,junk mail, paperboard boxes, etc.), metal cans and foil, plastic and glass containers (bottles,jars and jugs only). D. Organics—items such as food(meat, diary, grains, fruits and vegetables), food soiled paper(napkins,paper serve ware, paper towels), plant debris, and wood that is not painted or chemically treated. E. Dumpster- a metal container used to collect solid waste that can hold at least one cubic yard of material. This container type is sometimes also referred to as a bin. They are most commonly used to collect discards from businesses and multifamily complexes. F. Cart- a plastic wheeling container used to collect solid waste. Cart capacity ranges from a 32 gallon container to a 96 gallon container. Carts are most frequently used for residential collection service but are also appropriate for use at businesses that generate very little waste. 3 2. General Garbage, Recycling, and Organics Requirements A. Garbage, recycling and organics services are provided by Amador Valley Industries1 (AVI) on an exclusive franchise basis. B. Weekly garbage removal is required for all commercial and multifamily properties. Businesses may self-haul material directly to a permitted disposal facility using their own vehicle at least once every seven days as an alternative to weekly collection service. C. Recycling service is required2 for all commercial properties that generate 4 cubic yards or more of trash weekly and for all multifamily properties regardless of waste generation quantities. Commercial properties that generate less than 4 cubic yards of trash per week are strongly encouraged to establish a recycle program. D. Organics service is required for restaurants, grocery stores or other facilities that generate 4 cubic yards or more of organic waste per week3. In coming years this requirement will expand to all businesses regardless of organics waste generation levels. Adequate space in enclosures to collect all organic waste is required. All food related businesses are strongly encouraged to establish an organics collection program today. AVI's recycle coordinator can help businesses establish a program. E. Disposal of plant debris in the landfill is prohibited by the Alameda County Waste Management Authority4 (ACWMA). The material must be composted or delivered to a transfer station and placed with other"clean green material"to be composted. Additional fees may be imposed by the ACWMA if plant debris is placed in the trash dumpster. F. Overfilling of trash, recycling and organics containers is prohibited. Solid waste may not protrude above the top rim of the container and must allow for the lid(s) to close fully. Establishments that consistently have issues with overflowing containers will be required to increase their service level(s)to meet their needs. G. All new construction projects and tenant improvements are required to provide space to 1 http://www.amadorvalleyindustries.com/ 2 State law AB 341 mandates this recycling.For complete text visit https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?billid=201120120AB341. 3 State law AB 1826 mandates organics diversion.For complete text visit http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB 1826. 4 Per Alameda County Waste Management Authority Ordinance 2008-01,to view the complete ordinance visit http://www.recyclingrulesac.org/does/Landfill-Ban-WMA-Ordinance2008-01.pdf. 4 store garbage, recycling, and organics receptacles in an enclosure or inside a buildings. This space must be commensurate with the number and size of containers needed and take into account the applicant's short and long-term disposal and recycling needs. H. The Public Works Director, or designee, shall review the design of all enclosures. All enclosures are subject to a site development review permit. I. Per City Municipal Code 7.306, all construction, demolition, and renovation projects within the city, the total costs of which are greater than or equal to $100,000 shall comply with the City's diversion standards. Code stipulates these projects must recycle at least 65% of the waste for remodels or tenant improvements and 75% of the waste for new construction generated on a job site, excluding asphalt and concrete debris of which one hundred percent(100%) must be recycled. All projects less than $100,000 are strongly encouraged to meet these standards. The City's municipal code 7.30 has specific procedures for complying with these requirements. • wOP • i,, • limp Ti limo; 5 2016 CALGreen Code 4.410.2 and 5.410.1 https://codes.iccsafe.org/public/document/details/toc/657 6 Dublin Municipal Code 7.30 Waste Management Plan http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Dublin/ Additional information and required forms can be found at http://ca-dublin2.civicplus.com/147/Construction- Demolition 5 3. Multifamily Residential with Centralized Service Locations Apartments/Condos/Flats o Multifamily garbage, recycling, and organics collection is available in carts and bins. Cart collection is available once per week. Bin collection .I can be more frequent; garbage service is available up -_ L to six (6) days per week(Monday through Saturday), - cardboard only and mixed recycling collection is - - - -- available up to five (5) days per week (Monday through Friday) and organics collection is available four(4) days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). Twice a day pick up is not available. Enclosure design shall maximize container size to limit the number of service days needed. Specific services days and schedules vary according to category of service and container type and are subject to change. A. Internal Storage Requirements: i. All residential units need equal amounts of internal storage space to store garbage, recycling, and organic materials (e.g. under kitchen sink or in pantry). B. Chutes: i. Chute systems must be pre-approved by the Environmental Services Division because of the unique space and access design challenges. ii. Applicant must provide two chute systems side by side, one for garbage and one for recycling. There must be a minimum of 6"5"between the center of the trash chute and the center of the recycling chute and a minimum of 6"between the chute opening and the trash room floor. Chutes are not required or recommended for organics. Extra space inside the chute room is required to accommodate collection of residents' food scraps using a 32 gallon organics cart or a collection container of the property's choosing. Organic discards collected in alternate containers will need to be placed in an AVI organics container and a moved to an agreed upon location for service. - iii. Chute vestibule rooms must +iE Figure 1: Trash and Recycle Chutes be distributed to prevent any resident from traveling more than 250 feet to dispose of discards. iv. Chute vestibule rooms must observe requirements of the current California Building Code regarding accessibility to solid waste collection receptacles for persons with disabilities (CCR Title 24, Part 2). v. Chute systems must comply with current building codes for 2014 fire sprinkler requirements. C. External Storage Requirements: i. Multifamily residential garbage, mixed recycling, and organics receptacles must be stored in an enclosure. ii. Bins are recommended for collecting mixed recycling so that the large quantities of cardboard typically generated at multifamily complexes can be easily recycled by residents. Cardboard only bins in addition to mixed recycle service are often appropriate in a multifamily setting. AVI provides standard front end loader bins for collection service. Any modifications to AVI's bins, including hitches for towing individual or multiple bins are the responsibility of the property owner or manager and must be approved by AVI beforehand. Complexes also have the option of purchasing and using their own customized or standard front end load bins at their own cost as long as they are compatible with AVI's standard front end load trucks and fork configurations. iii. Unless other arrangements are made in advance, property management is responsible for transporting(by an agreed upon time) all AVI-serviced bins from indoor trash rooms to a mutually agreed upon staging area accessible to AVI trucks. iv. Trash enclosures must be distributed throughout larger complexes so that no resident will have to travel more than 250 feet to reach an enclosure. v. Trash enclosures must observe requirements of the current California Building Code regarding accessibility to solid waste collection receptacles for persons with disabilities (CCR Title 24, Part 2). D. Estimating Service Needs i. To ensure adequate space for solid waste a safe rule is 50 gallons or cubic yard of solid waste for every three residents. Of that 40% for trash, 40% for recycling, and 20% for organic material. This does not include plant debris 7 from landscaping, account for additional space if landscaping debris is disposed of on the property. i. For example, a 60-unit multifamily complex with average occupancy of three people per unit would require 15 cubic yards of total capacity(1/4 CY x 60), which, following the 40-40-20 rule, equates to 6 cubic yards each for trash and recycling and 2 cubic yards for organics. ii. Another approach is to estimate the number of occupants by multiplying the number of bedrooms by 2, and allowing 15 to 18 gallons per occupant, then applying the 40% - 40% - 20%proportions cited above. iii. It is good practice to provide 20%to 35% excess capacity for seasonal variation and other surges in volume. iv. Use estimated container needs to calculate space needs for your enclosure(s). v. See Trash Enclosure Design Requirements section (pg15) for cart and dumpster dimensions. 8 4.

Section 15061( b)( 3) states that CEQA applies only to those projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure, but it sets forth the regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed to be constructed or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately. Section 2: Section 7.98 of the Dublin Municipal Code is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: Chapter 7.98 SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING ENCLOSURE STANDARDS 7.98.010 Applicability.
