Appeal Application No. 2025-01 for Revocation of LUC No. 2003-03 – Money For Cans (2610 <br />W. Edinger Avenue) <br />April 14, 2025 <br />Page 6 <br />4 <br />9 <br />0 <br />6 <br />area showed signs of recent cleaning, with no visible garbage debris, the presence of <br />noticeable stains suggested that cleaning efforts were superficial. <br />Revocation Analysis <br />The facility consistently failed to adhere to the standards for small collection facilities outlined <br />in SAMC Section 41-1253. The violations contradict the terms under which the LUC was <br />originally granted, demonstrating a disregard for applicable regulations. Following the <br />December 12, 2024, hearing regarding the Notice of Revocation, the PBA Director made <br />the following findings upon reviewing Code Enforcement Division’s Compliance Inspection <br />reports: <br />1.SAMC Section 41-1253 (1) – Commercial Compliance: The facility was not <br />"established in conjunction with an existing commercial use which is in compliance <br />with all applicable zoning, building and fire code requirements." <br />2.SAMC Section 41-1253 (2) - Size Limitation: The facility exceeds the allowable 500 <br />square feet by using the east side yard for trash bin storage and relying on an <br />electrical wire crossing from a neighboring residence. <br />3.SAMC Section 41-1253 (3) - Setback: The facility is located within 50 feet of the <br />terminus of Stanford and King Streets, violating setback standards. <br />4.SAMC Section 41-1253 (6) - Container Standards: Trash bins on the east side of <br />the property are not covered when the attendant is absent, failing to meet container <br />standards. <br />5.SAMC Section 41-1253 (7) - Storage of Recyclable Material: Trash bins used for <br />recyclable material storage are left uncovered when unattended, violating storage <br />standards. <br />6.SAMC Section 41-1253 (8) – Maintenance Standards: The exterior property, <br />parking areas, and premises are not maintained in a clean, safe, and sanitary <br />condition, requiring pressure washing and cleaning. <br />7.SAMC Section 41-1253 (11) – Proximity to Residential: The facility abuts <br />residential property within five feet and is also located within 100 feet of residentially <br />zoned or occupied property. The PBA Director dismissed the citation for operating <br />beyond allowed hours, as the Business Owner provided evidence of updated, <br />compliant business hours. <br />8.SAMC Section 41-1253 (12) - Signage: Signs are located inside container doors <br />and are not visible when closed. The facility lacks signage stating that materials <br />cannot be left outside the recycling enclosure or containers. <br />The basis for revocation stems from the facility's documented violations of municipal codes <br />and operational standards, including non-compliance with size limitations, setback <br />requirements, and proximity to residential areas. Additionally, observed violations related to <br />waste storage, property maintenance, and electrical hazards pose significant risks to public <br />health and safety. The evidence clearly demonstrates that the business operation violates <br />the terms outlined for small collection facilities, justifying revocation. These violations show <br />a persistent failure to adhere to regulations essential for maintaining community well-being <br />and orderly development. The facility's continued operation in its current state poses <br />
