5:31 p.m. Public Hearing to consider adopting an Ordinance amending the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Volume 1, Chapter 82, Article 1, Sections 82-1, 82-167, and 82-225, related to Solid Waste, amending definitions related to Land Clearing Debris and Yard Trash.
Recommendation: That the Board adopt an Ordinance amending the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Volume 1, Chapter 82, Article 1, Sections 82-1, 82-167 and 82-225, related to Solid Waste, amending definitions related to Land Clearing Debris and Yard Trash. |
| BACKGROUND: |
| The proposed Ordinance will serve to bring the definitions in the Code of Ordinances related to Land Clearing Debris, Land Clearing Debris Facilities, Yard Trash, and Yard Waste into closer conformity with the definitions used by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and will clarify the nature of materials which may be disposed or processed by Land Clearing Debris Facilities within the County. The amendments to the definitions are necessary for the continued management of solid waste within the County and were requested and approved by the Natural Resources Management, Waste Services, and Development Services Departments. The definitions within the Land Development Code will also be amended to mirror the changes to the Code of Ordinances, if approved. The amendments serve a public purpose and will benefit the health, safety, and welfare of County citizens. |
