  § 5.04.220. Home occupations.  

Latest version.

  • A.

    If a home occupation is carried on in a residential zone as allowed by the planning commission under this code, the resident shall pay only for residential service so long as there are never more than four garbage cans per week put out for collection, and provided that the premises is used principally for residential purposes. In the event a dispute arises over whether a home occupation should be required to pay residential or commercial rates, the sanitation technician shall make the determination as to what service is being used or should be used and what service is to be charged. The decision of the sanitation technician shall be final.

    B.

    If two or more types of service are available to a garbage account, both of which adequately and satisfactorily serve the account, the party receiving the service shall have the option of selecting the service he wishes to receive so long as no unsanitary condition is created as a result of the service selection. If a dispute arises between the party receiving the service and the contractor concerning the type of collection service the account should be receiving, the sanitation technician shall make the determination as to the type of service and charge.

    C.

    If a single commercial building or complex is occupied by more than one business, the party(s) receiving the garbage service may elect to receive and be charged for a single container service to serve the entire building or complex, so long as no unsanitary condition is created as a result of the single container service. To qualify for this election, one party must agree to be solely responsible for the entire garbage account as relates to the building or complex. Written notice must be given to the city, signed and dated by such party, which notice must state the following:

    1.

    The name and address of the commercial building or complex;

    2.

    The parties who have elected to receive single container service;

    3.

    The name and address of the party agreeing to be responsible for the account; and

    4.

    A statement that such party agrees to be solely responsible for the entire garbage account as relates to the building or complex.

    For purposes of this provision, a "commercial complex" shall consist of all buildings and businesses located on a single parcel of real property, and which property, businesses, and buildings are owned by the same person or entity.

    D.

    If a dispute arises between the party(s) receiving service and the contractor, the sanitation technician shall make the determination as to the type of service and charge. The decision of the sanitation technician shall be final.
