E BACKGROUND: N The proposal is to amend Title 18 of the Colton Municipal Code (Zoning Ordinance), by "composting, including mulching and related green waste" in sections 18.06.060, "Uses Permitted in Each Zone", and "composting" in section 18.04 "Definitions". The amendment will allow composting in the M-1 (Light Industrial) and M-2 (Heavy Industrial) zones with D an approved Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Additionally, compost- ing will be included in the Definitions Section of the Zoning Ordinance with the following description: "Composting"- means the use of a parcel, or portion thereof, forroducin or storing,A for commercial purposes, any mixture that consists largely of decayed organic mattr including, without limitation, human waste in the form of sewage sludge, to be used for the purpose of creating any product to be used primarily for fertilizing or conditioning land. Composting includes, but is not limited to, mulching and related green waste land uses. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS' R On December 22, 1992, the City Council approved Urgency Ordinance No.0-32-92, establishing a moratorium on composting, mulching, and related green waste land uses in the City. The moratorium prohibits new Conditional Use Permit applications from being E accepted for processing, however, allows any Conditional Use Permit application that is currently approved or pending for the uses involving composting, mulching, and related green waste processing facilities, or ancillary uses, to be fully processed under the Municipal Code, including amendment thereto. Fi In the moratorium, the City Council directed the Community Development Department to undertake a study to consider allowing composting, mulching and related green waste and other related uses in specified zones, only upon the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, in O order to achieve compatibility between land uses. After careful analysis, Community Development Staff has prepared the above amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, as presented in the project description above, in which staff is confident that the concerns expressed in the moratorium will be R addressed. At its regular meeting on January 26, 1993, the Planning Commission considered, and approved, the proposed amendment with the addition of allowing composting in the Agricultural Zone with an approved Conditional Use Permit.
