    (a)  Any new development project, or additions to existing development projects which individually or cumulatively add thirty percent or more floor area within a 12-month period.  In cases where projects add thirty percent (30%) or more floor area to an existing development project, regulations for recycling collection areas shall apply to all uses and the entire development project.

    (b)  To individual tenants within an existing development project occupied by multiple tenants in which tenant improvements individually or cumulatively add thirty percent (30%) or more to the floor area of the tenant's business within a 12-month period.  (Ord. 1994-18 § 1 (part), 1994).

    (d)  Areas for recycling shall be adequate in capacity, number and distribution to serve the needs of the occupants' of the development project.  Site design must include adequate space for recycling and garbage containers and access for recycling/garbage collection trucks.  The recycling/garbage collection area enclosures shall be located on level ground.

    (e)  Dimensions of the recycling collection area shall accommodate the number and type of containers needed for both garbage and recycling receptacles sufficient to meet the recycling needs of either the development project for new developments, or the individual tenant for expansion projects.  (Ord. 2009-7 § 45, 2009; Ord. 1996-8 § 1 (part), 1996; Ord. 1994-18 § 1 (part), 1994).
