Due to lack of quorum of Commissioners present at the January 26,2012
meeting, the Commission deferred approval of the minutes to the next meeting.
Planning and Building Manager, Marilyn Ponton, presented the staff report. ln
1987, the California Assembly passed AB 2020 known as the Beverage Container
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. The legislation requires that all grocery
stores and businesses selling beverage containers provide recycling facilities for
their customers in the surrounding area. The adjacent Safeway Store located in
Park Plaza Center must provide a recycling facility for beverage containers and
has contracted with Nexcycle to provide the recycling operation. The proposal is
an I foot wide by 17 foot long metal container that will be placed in the shopping
center parking lot adjacent to the CVS Drug Store. lt is being relocated from its
present location at the northeast corner of the shopping center. The present
location is more isolated and has been a problem with people loitering and
littering the area. Ms. Ponton reviewed the operational details of the proposed
relocations of the recycling facility and recommended approval of the application.
A brief discussion was held. Vice-Chairperson Haydon opened the public
hearing.
