AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
AMENDING TITLE 18, ZONING, OF THE REDDING MUNICIPAL CODE BY
ADDING CHAPTER 18.55: TRASH CONTAINER ENCLOSURES.
The City Council of the City of Redding does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Title 18, Zoning, of the Redding Municipal Code is hereby amended
by adding a new Chapter 18.55 as follows:
CHAPTER 18.55
TRASH CONTAINER ENCLOSURES
Sections:
18.55.010 Purpose
18.55.020 Trash Enclosure Required
18.55.030 Location and Orientation
18.55.040 Materials, Construction, and Design
18.55.050 Maintenance.
18.55.010 Purpose. •
The purpose of this chapter is to establish design and locational criteria for the
construction of trash-container enclosures in conjunction with multiple-family
residential, commercial, and industrial developments. The standards required
herein are to ensure that the enclosures are functional, serviceable, durable,
unobtrusive, and architecturally compatible with adjacent buildings.
18.55.020 Trash Enclosure Required.
A. Trash enclosures shall be required for the following types of developments:
1. Multiple-family developments consisting of four or more dwelling units on
a single lot.
2. All office, personal-service, retail-commercial, service-commercial, and
industrial developments.
B. An enclosure shall be required for all dumpsters, regardless of the type of
development associated with their use.
s
IP 41►
C. The size of the enclosure shall be determined by the Solid Waste Division of the
General Services Department, and will be based on the container-size required
by that Division. Applicants for a building permit, use permit, administrative
use permit, or site-plan review shall submit with the appropriate application a
certification from the Solid Waste Division authorizing the size of enclosure
proposed on the plans.
18.55.030 Location and Orientation.
The following standards are developed to ensure that enclosure locations and
orientations are conducive to the maneuverability constraints of the City's refuse-
collection vehicles. The standards will be rigidly applied unless it is demonstrated
that they are infeasible. Any deviation necessitated by problems unique to the
property must be preapproved by the Solid Waste Division of the General Services
Department or as otherwise provided for in this Chapter. In those instances where
refuse containers and enclosures are required under this Chapter, a building permit
shall not be issued for a project until documentation of approval of the location is
provided by the Solid Waste Division.
A. Trash enclosures shall not be located within any required front-yard or street
side-yard setback areas in the "R-3," "R-4," "RM," "CO," "C-1," and "PI"
Districts, nor within 15 feet of the front or street side-yard property lines in
the "C-2," "C-3," "C-4," "C-6," and "M-2" Districts. The location of trash
enclosures within the "U" Unclassified District shall be established at the time
a use permit or administrative use permit is obtained for development of the
property.
Approval of enclosures within the above setback areas may be approved only
by administrative use permit or, in the case of discretionary projects, by the
approving body for the project. The originality of design, architectural
treatments, the visibility of the loading area from streets or other public areas,
and access limitations elsewhere on a site shall be considered when approving
requests to locate enclosures within the above setback area. Acceptable
designs include those in which the enclosure is incorporated into monument-
style signage and adjacent landscaping is bermed on two or more sides of the
enclosure. The minimum setback from the street shall be five feet.
B. Enclosures shall be situated so that they do not cause excessive nuisance or
offense to occupants of nearby buildings.
C. Containers shall be consolidated to minimize the number of collection sites and
located so as to reasonably equalize the distance from the building spaces they
serve.
D. Enclosures shall be located so as to allow ease of access for collection
equipment. The location shall be suitable for the use of front-load equipment
having a 17.5-foot wheel base and a turning radius of 45 feet. The enclosure
openings shall be oriented so that front-load disposal equipment can head in
directly to the enclosure opening to access the container without removing it
from the enclosure.

• •
E. Enclosures shall be located so that front-load equipment can enter and exit the
property using through driveways, thus avoiding backing maneuvers. If
through driveways are not practical, sufficient maneuvering area shall be
provided to allow collection equipment to turn around. Enclosures shall not be
placed in areas where collection equipment will have to back around corners to
enter or exit the dumpster area. Enclosures shall not be placed in areas where
collection equipment will have to back into the street to exit the property.
F. The area in front of a trash enclosure shall be kept clear of obstructions, not
be utilized for parking, and shall be painted, striped, and marked "No
Parking."
G. Trash enclosures shall be located in areas that are level. The enclosure pad,
together with an apron area 10 feet in width and 20 feet in length, shall not
have a slope, including cross slope, exceeding 2 percent. The pad shall not be
elevated above the apron.
18.55.040 Materials, Construction, and Design.
Trash enclosures shall provide a complete visual screening of the trash container.
The enclosures shall consist of a six-foot-high (minimum) wall and appropriate gate
which conceals the container from all sides. The following elements shall be
included:
A. The walls of the enclosure shall be constructed of solid masonry material or
concrete tilt-up with decorative exterior-surface finish compatible to the main
structure(s). However, in those instances where the enclosure will not be
visible from a public street or residential area, the enclosure may be
constructed of chain-link fencing with slats. Split-face concrete block, stucco,
or similar finish is recommended. Chain link with wood or plastic inserts is not
considered adequate wall material even if backed by a solid material.
B. The gates of the enclosure structure shall be constructed of decorative, solid,
heavy-gauge metal backed with a view-obstructing material or of a heavy-gauge
metal frame with a covering of a view-obscuring material. If not visible from
a public street or residential area, the enclosure gates may be constructed of
chain link with wood or plastic inserts. The gates shall be designed with cane
bolts to secure the gates both in the open and closed positions. Gates shall be
hung so that they do not decrease the minimum interior dimensions of the trash
enclosure when open.
C. Trash enclosures shall be constructed on a four-inch-thick concrete pad.
D. Bumpers measuring at least two inches high by six inches wide shall be affixed
on the floor of the interior at the base of the enclosure walls for the protection
of the enclosure walls. The bumpers should be made of concrete, steel, or
other suitable material and shall be anchored to the concrete pad.
E. Trash enclosures shall be protected from adjacent vehicle parking and
travelways by concrete curbs or equivalent.

,
F. Travelways utilized by disposal equipment and the area immediately in front of
the trash enclosure shall have an adequate base to support a truck weight of
62,000 pounds.
18.55.050 Maintenance.
Trash enclosures, loading areas, and access driveways shall be maintained and
repaired as necessary by the property owner.
Section 2. It has been determined that this matter is categorically exempt from
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Section 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and
cause its publication according to law.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced and read at
a regular meeting of the City Council on the 18thday of February, 1992, and was
duly read and adopted on the 3rd day of March , 1992, at a regular meeting of the
