Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of Resolution
Explanation:
At the April 20, 2016 Regular City Commission Meeting, upon the request of the City Commission, the Public Works Department presented information regarding the current regulations for dumpsters and dumpster enclosures. The Commission provided feedback about the unsightly appearance of dumpsters without enclosures and the need for improvement in this regard.
Section 50.02(B) of the Code of Ordinances sets forth the regulations for dumpsters and dumpster enclosures, of which the applicability of the areas of the City the regulations apply is further designated by Resolution, more specifically through the adoption of Resolution No. R-2002-89. Currently, the requirement to enclose dumpsters has been established in two defined areas of the City. The first area lies between I-95 and Federal Highway, from Sheridan Street to Pembroke Road. The second area is located on the barrier island, between Sherman Street and Jefferson Street.
The proposed Resolution repeals the previously adopted Resolution R-2002-89 and expands the applicability of the dumpster enclosure regulations set forth in Chapter 50.02(B) of the Code Ordinances to encompass all areas within the City, including the Beach and Downtown. Properties will not be eligible for grandfathering and must comply with these regulations. In the event that a property is determined to not have adequate space to accommodate a dumpster enclosure, and the provisions of the regulations have been met where possible, the current regulations allow consideration to camouflage or utilize alternative screening methods. Applicants can apply to Development Services for approval under these circumstances.
