E. Collection of yard waste from non multi family dwellings, when fully phased in, shall be made available at least biweekly from the months of March through November, unless the hauler can demonstrate to the City that an alternative collection schedule can result in the same or higher levels of participation and recovery. H. The haulers shall develop a total rate structure for garbage and recycling which provides economic incentives for customers to recycle and to reduce total waste, in accordance with State and County goals. Non multi-family customers shall be charged a single all-inclusive rate for garbage, recyclables, and yard waste. Multi -family customers shall be charged a single, all inclusive rate for garbage and recycling service. Provisions shall be made by the haulers to give credit to customers who can demonstrate that they do not produce any recyclables and/or yard waste. Section 2. ECC Section 2.80.060 is hereby amended to read as follows: 7.80.060 RECYCLING PROGRAM MONITORING AND REPORTING The haulers shall provide the City with reports on the status of the recycling program. These reports shall be provided at least on a yearly basis or at a more frequent request by the city, with due notice and time for preparation. Such reports shall include, but not be limited to, rates of participation, amount of recyclables and yard waste produced by appropriate categories, volumes, and tonnages. Logs of customer complaints and comments, and any other reasonable elements may be requested by the City. Section 3. ECC Section 7.80.110 is hereby amended to read as follows: 7.80.110 PROVISIONS OF COLLECTION CONTAINERS FOR RECYCLABLES AND YARD WASTE BY MULTI -FAMILY RESIDENCES A. All new multi-family residences are required to provide facilities (containers and space for their deployment) for the collection of recyclables. Such facilities may include either centralized or individual containers. The City with its haulers shall develop prototype container or system configurations which meet the intent of this chapter. Any facilities required to promote recycling will be subject to the existing requirements in the Edmonds Community Development Code as far as zoning and design standards. B. All existing multi -family residences will also be required to make provisions for the collection of recyclables. It is recognized that in some instances this may require changes to approved site plans, including, but not limited to, common areas of the building site and parking areas. It is also recognized that the provision of recyclable collection facilities in existing multi -family residences may also create violations of certain parts of the zoning chapter. The staff will review proposed facilities for collection of recyclables and/or yard waste, and will make a staff decision on whether a more formal review by the Architectural Design Board is necessary. Such staff decisions shall be staff decisions rendered and appealable as provided in ECDC 20.95.050. In the event that a required parking space needs to be utilized for a collection facility, it shall still be counted toward meeting the parking requirements in the ECDC. Section 4. ECC Section 7.80.120 is hereby amended to read as follows: 7.80.120 IMPLEMENTATION DATES The desired goals for setting dates for the availability of the above described services in the City are as follows: 1.
