DATE: April 24, 2000 BACKGROUND: On July 27, 1999, under DCV -33-99, Taormina Industries (dba Colton Disposal) was granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish and operate a solid waste facility that will process source separated recyclable materials, provide truck parking, a maintenance shop, and administrative offices. Taormina Industries is requesting a modification to the CUP to define further solid waste recycling, processing and transfer activities at the proposed facility. The proposed Inland Regional Material Recovery Facility (IRMRF) is to be located at 2059 West Steel Road in the City of Colton. The property is zoned SP for the Santa Ana River Redevelopment Project Area Specific Plan, and has a land use designation of I -P (Industrial Park). The proposed uses at the IRMRF include additional processing and transfer of mixed municipal solid wastes which is consistent with the General Plan designation of the Santa Ana River Redevelopment Project Area Specific Plan. Recycling centers and recovery and transfer facilities are allowed in commercial and industrial zones with the granting of a CUP. The site contains 6.14 acres. It is located across from an industrially zoned Industrial Park area and is ideally situated to be transformed into a model recycling center and transfer station. The site is surrounded by industrially zoned property. Adjacent zones are SP/Industrial/Interstate 10 Freeway to the North; SP/Industrial Park/Steel Road, HCS Cutler Parking/Storage Facility to the South; SP/Industrial Park/American Self -Storage Facility to the East and SP/Industrial Park/Interstate 215 Freeway to the West. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: As stated above, a CUP for the facility was issued in July of 1999. An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were approved and certified with a Notice of Determination. Mitigation measures were also developed for geologic issues, water quality and air quality. Staff is currently requesting Council's authorization to seek proposals for a Planning Consultant to prepare an amended Environment Assessment to include a Solid Waste Facility Permit. The intended purpose of the amended Environment Assessment is to define and address other aspects of the proposed use that were not considered previously and to satisfy Item #6
