B. Land Use Designation For Hazardous Waste Facilities I The CHWMP shall amend the Development Code (or Zoning Ordi- nance) to require all specified hazardous waste facilities to be permitted only with an approved Site Approval (Conditional Use Permit) in areas with a zoning overlay of Specified Hazardous Waste Facility. The purpose of the overlay is to ensure that facilities are sited in areas that protect public health. safety, welfare, and the environment; to assign the overlay to the project site and buffer so that incompatible uses cannot be permitted in the future; to identify permitted uses of the overlay; and to outline the permit review proce- dures. C. Siting Criteria State law requires the CHWMP to include siting criteria and designate general areas where the criteria might apply. The siting criteria will represent a uniform set of standards applied to all applications. vet they are designed with some flexibility depending on the type of facility and the pro- posed site location.

An applicant for a specified hazardous waste faculty must demonstrate con- sistency with the siting criteria and the policies of this plan in order to receive approval of a soeclfieo nazaraous waste facility application. 0.
