Mr. Schroeter reviewed the history of the matter, noting that the Planning Commission granted a use permit for a transfer station on the site in 1976 and the City Council reversed that decision and denied it. Shortly thereafter, the Scavenger Company (Browning Ferris Industries or BFI) made application for the transfer station on an adjacent site in the City of San Carlos; the San Carlos City Council approved the use permit; the transfer station can now be built on the site; and BFI indicates they intend to do so. Mr. Schroeter said that the proposed rezoning is the only matter before Council at this time. He observed that while a use permit will be required, the proposed zone would allow a parking lot and vehicle maintenance buildings on the site, and BFI has stated such use would be made of the parcel beside the transfer station while the adjoining parcel is expected to be developed for commercial use. Councilman Rhodes, representative to the San Mateo County Solid Waste Disposal District and the South County Garbage and Refuse Disposal District, stated for the record that what is planned to be constructed in San Carlos adjacent to the subject property is a transfer station and not a permanent garbage dump. Councilman Rhodes advised that dry garbage will be carried there by smaller vehicles and transferred to 20-ton trucks for removal daily to the dump site at Ox Mountain.
