PUBLIC HEARINGS
ITEM NO. 4
APPROVED
Mayor King introduced the Public Hearing on the
request to amend the Baldwin Park Zoning Code
providing for recycling facilities pursuant to
AB 2020 in the FC Freeway Commercial), C-2
General Commercial), CM Commercial Manufac-
turing) and 1C Industrial/Commercial) zones.
City Planner Rangel explained that recent state law
requires that recycling stations be provided in
convenience zones which are located within one-half
mile radius of supermarkets having annual gross
sales of two million daollars or more. The reason
for limiting the locations of recycling machines
to larger supermarkets is because of the greater
patronage of the those markets and being better
known in areas.
Staff feels that providing for buy-back recycling
centers will help conserve natural resources and
reduce litter. Providing for recycling in areas
other than industrial will allow supermarkets affected
by this new legislation an opportunity to comply with
the mandatory requirements. Requiring a conditional
use permit will allow the City to regulate these
facilities to insure that a location is adequate and
to monitor the recycling operation to insure that it
does not become an eyesore,
Mayor King declared the Public Hearing open on AZC-117

Morgan Park is imperative for several reasons, some
facilities are under-used and antiquated; and some
show evidence of wear and tear due to heavy use? the
propsed new community center, and the acquisition of
additional acreage east of the park. Staff inter-
viewed three of the six consulting firms that sub-
mitted proposals to prepare the master plan and
determined that RJM Design Group was best suited
for this project.

a master plan for Morgan Park at a cost of $28,500.

project should take about 14 weeks.

sing traffic flow problems on Maine and Ramona Boulevard

She also explained the delay in installation of the pedes-
trian crossing by the Post Office and the modifications
that will be necessary to interconnect two traffic sig-
nals. She outlined the plans for median modifications
on Robin Avenue/Ramona Boulevard and installation of
traffic signals at the intersections of Baldwin Park/
Olive and Baldwin Park/Live Oak. Staff recommended
authorization of contracts for these engineering
services.

work is progressing on certain projects, but recognized
that the work should go forward as quickly as possible
and allow for critical input to reconsider any concerns
as necessary. They also discussed the urgency of the
action required and the time frame for ordering signal
equipment.

Services Smith stated that any new design would not
