• s. 1. <br /> STAFF REPORT July 11, 1994 <br /> Initiated by the Area Plan Commission 1617-94 <br /> Location: <br /> City of South Bend <br /> REQUESTED ACTION: This is an Area Plan Commission initiated <br /> petition to add Recycling Drop Off Centers and <br /> Recycling Processing Centers to the Zoning <br /> Ordinance. A Recycling Drop Off Center will be <br /> defined as a facility where household <br /> recyclables, not including oils, fuels, or <br /> hazardous materials, are collected for <br /> transfer to a processing center or markets. A <br /> Recycling Processing Center will be defined as <br /> a building or enclosed space for the <br /> collection, processing, and storage of <br /> recyclable materials. Drop Off Centers will be <br /> permitted uses within the "C" Commercial, <br /> "C-2" Planned Shopping Center, "D" Light <br /> Industrial, and "E" Heavy Industrial <br /> Districts. They will also be permitted as <br /> accessory uses to certain facilities, such as <br /> churches, schools, community centers, and <br /> large apartment complexes, in the "A", "B", <br /> and "B-1" Residential Districts, and the "A-3" <br /> Mixed Use District. Recycling Processing <br /> Centers will be permitted only within the "E" <br /> Heavy Industrial District. In preparing the <br /> proposed amendments the Staff worked closely <br /> with the Staff of the Solid Waste Management <br /> District. The proposed ordinance should <br /> facilitate increased levels of recycling while <br /> protecting residential areas from any negative <br /> impact that the recycling centers may have. <br />
