collection contractor.
a. It shall be mandatory that residential buildings with four or
more dwelling units be served by commercial refuse containers
[dumpsters), obtained through agreement with the City's refuse
collection contractor. The requirement for mandatory containers may
be waived for residential buildings existing on January 1, 1972, upon
a finding by the Director of Public Works that no space is available
for such container within the boundary lines of subject
property. In no case, however, shall container locations be
permitted in the front yard set-back or within areas required for
meeting the minimum off-street parking requirements of applicable
zoning regulations. Any applicant who has been denied a waiver by the
Director of Public Works may appeal such action to the City Council
by filing within thirty (30) days after such denial, a written state-
ment of his reasons why the City Council should reverse the action
from which the appeal is taken.
