CODE PERTAINING TO NUISANCES--JUNK ON CALLE GUANAJUATO.
THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF ASHLAND DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 1 of Ordinance No. 1490 and Section 9.12.010 of
the Ashland Municipal Code are hereby amended to read as follows:
119.12.010 Junk Defined. "Junk" includes all old machinery,
old machine parts, old appliances or parts thereof, old
iron, or other metal, glass, paper, plastics, resins,
cardboard, waste fats and oils, food waste, used bottles and
cans, old lumber, old wood, or other waste, debris, or
discarded material, or material stockpiled for the purpose
of recycling."
SECTION 2. A new Section 9.12.035 is hereby added to the Ashland
Municipal Code, and shall read as follows:
119:12.035 Storage and Disposal of Junk on Calle Guanajuato.
A. The regulations in this section shall apply to
properties that have access to Calle Guanajuato, that area
of Lithia Park that is between Winburn Way and North Main
Street, and between the Plaza and Granite Street.
B. In addition to the regulations on junk contained in this
chapter, junk shall only be stored within a building, in an
area completely enclosed from view, that is closed tightly
so that flies, odors, junk, liquids, and vermin cannot
escape from the junk and affect Calle Guanajuato.
C. The Council may approve a storage device which may be
used on private land that is not entirely enclosed in a
building, if, in the council's opinion, it provides
sufficient protection from odors, waste materials, waste
liquids, oils, fats, and flies.
D. The Council may set aside a common area for storage of
junk and recyclable materials for the use of businesses
located on properties that have access to Calle Guanajuato.
The Council shall assess each business its pro rata share of
the costs of disposal of junk from the common area. Every
business shall be assumed to benefit from the disposal area
unless it has an area for its own use that is entirely
enclosed within a building, and of sufficient size to
accommodate the junk and other waste produced by the
business.
E. In assessing the pro rata share of disposal costs to a
business, the Council may use average waste produced or
expected to be produced by that type of business. The costs
shall be assessed on the normal electric utility bill, and
be the responsibility of the person to whom the electric
utility account is registered.
F. It is a violation of this ordinance for a person to use
the common area for disposal if they are not being assessed
for the costs of the disposal of junk from that area."
The foregoing Ordinance was first read on the 20th day of June, 1989,
and duly PASSED and ADOPTED this 5th day of July, 1989.
