17.45.067 Screening of Solid Waste Dumpsters and Self-contained, Liquid-tight, Compacting Solid Waste Containers.
Dumpsters and self-contained, liquid-tight, compacting solid waste containers placed in all zone districts to serve structures for which building permits are issued after the effective date of the ordinance shall be screened as follows:
(1) Dumpsters and self-contained, liquid-tight, compacting solid waste containers on property that is not within the public right of way shall be screened on a minimum of three sides by a building, hillside, sight-obscuring fence, or sight-obscuring landscaping, or combination thereof. Dumpsters and self-contained, liquid-tight, compacting solid waste containers shall be screened on the side of the Dumpster or container facing a public street(s) as one of the minimum three sides required to be screened.
(2) Dumpsters and self-contained, liquid-tight, compacting solid waste containers within the public right of way shall be screened on four sides by a building, hillside, sight-obscuring fence, or sight obscuring landscaping.
(3) Screening shall not be required for dumpsters located on a temporary one-time basis to handle special circumstances such as construction projects and large scale clean-up efforts.
Where screening is required, the city planner shall consult with the solid waste collector prior to making a determination of exact requirements for screening in an attempt to prevent the required screening from becoming unduly burdensome on the solid waste collector or the person required to provide the screening. (Ord. 03-33 §21, 2003; Ord. 90-15 §2, 1990).
