Title
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT STORAGE AND RECYCLING FACILITY - CASE #CU-84-14
Body
Summary and Background Information:
Veolia Environmental Services - Technical Solutions (VES-TS) is requesting the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in order to bring their existing operations, as a facility for the treatment and storage of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, into legal and conforming status. The legal and conforming status will bring the property into compliance with the land use requirements of the Land Development Code (LDC).
The Land Development Code (LDC) requires properties that primarily manufacture, process, use, sale, or store flammable, corrosive, explosive or toxic substances obtain a CUP. On the subject property, Veolia processes and stores a variety of hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
The subject property was originally developed in unincorporated Adams County in 1980 and until it was unilaterally annexed in 2007, it operated under a Conditional Use Permit issued by Adams County in 1981 for a solvent storage and recycling facility. Knowing that their operations require a CUP issued by the city, the applicant has voluntarily submitted this CUP request.
