The Orange County <br /> Department of Public Works has received approval of a <br /> Consolidated Solid Waste Disposal Plan, which <br /> identifies sites for the disposal of household solid <br /> wastes, to be developed over time. The County <br /> . normally negotiates with property owners to lease or <br /> purchase sites in the general location specified in <br /> the Consolidated Plan. <br /> A minimum of 40,000 square feet is needed to develop a <br /> collection site. Where zoning requires a lot size <br /> ,greater than 40,000 square feet, a larger area must be <br /> purchased or leased than is necessary to accommodate <br /> the facility. The proposed amendment seeks to permit <br /> solid waste collection sites with a minimum lot size <br /> of 40,000 square feet in all zones. Specific site <br /> development standards are also proposed. <br /> _ I . <br />
