Chapter 9.20 Garbage — The proposed ordinance adds a new Section 9.20.045 to make clear that garbage service cannot be provided by a third party that has not been awarded the City's exclusive garbage franchise. This will allow for improved clarity and enforcement against junk hauling companies or other persons who are paid by homeowners, businesses and builders to remove garbage (as such removal is subject to the exclusive franchise rights of Pleasanton Garbage Service). The proposed section also clarifies that as determined by California courts, homeowners, businesses and builders can: (a) donate recyclable materials to third parties so long as no fee is paid for the removal of such recyclable materials; and (b) that a hired contractor can remove waste materials generated by that contractor's own work so long as the contractor is using the contractor's own staff for such removal. The permit process for a property owner to remove his garbage himself remains unchanged in Section 9.20.040 (Private Permits for Garbage Removal). Chapter 9.24 Smoking in Public and Work Places — The proposed language clarifies Section 9.24.020 (Definitions) the definition of "dining area" and Section 9.24.040 (Prohibition of smoking in public places). This amendment makes clear that smoking is prohibited in the outdoor eating areas of food establishments with: (i) table service at a restaurant; as well as (ii) counter service at a coffee or sandwich shop. The amendment also provides that the owner must place signs to advise persons of these smoking prohibitions before any enforcement may occur. Chapter 9.28 Property Maintenance — The proposed language amends Section 9.28.020 (Unlawful property nuisances) to clarify that homeowners may park cars in their front yard driveway, as well as on surfaces that have been improved for parking. The existing definition requires the parking surface to be "impervious". However, changes in construction options should allow parking on paver stones (which are not impervious), or other improved surfaces intended for parking. Chapter 15.44 Protection of Sanitary Sewer System from Fats, Oils and Grease — The proposed amendment adds language to section 15.44.040 (Grease interceptor requirements) to recognize that food service establishments may share a grease interceptor; and section 15.44.070 (Enforcement) to describe how noticing and enforcement are handled with regard to food service establishments that share a grease interceptor. Finally, the amendment adds language to section 15.44.070 (Enforcement) to allow the Operations Services Director to disconnect water service if a food service establishment violates any terms of the ordinance. Chapters 18.08 [Zoningl Definitions and 18.110 Personal Wireless Service Facilities — The proposed language clarifies and broadens the definition of "personal wireless service facility tower" to include all antennas, including building-mounted antennas. Then, the update of the Locational Standards section clarifies that ancillary equipment and cabinets are not subject to the 300 foot separation, while wireless towers or any antennas do remain subject to the 300 foot setback distance requirements.
