Title

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING RESIDENTIAL-AGRICULTURAL (R-A) ZONE for the purpose of permitting the recycling plant use in the Residential-Agricultural (R-A) Zone under certain circumstances.

 

Background

The Zoning Ordinance defines a recycling plant as "Any establishment in which a finished product is broken down (excluding biological or chemical decomposition) with the intent of either making a new product or reusing the disassembled parts. Vehicle demolition, salvage, storage operations, electronic recycling facilities and concrete recycling facilities are not included."  This legislation amends the residential zone use table in the Zoning Ordinance to permit the recycling plant use in the R-A Zone under certain circumstances.
