The City of Blaine's Planning Commission is gearing up for a public hearing to discuss a significant amendment request by Walters Refuse and Recycling. The company is seeking permission to expand its outside storage capacity, asking for an amendment to a conditional use permit in the Heavy Industrial (I-2) zoning district, as per the City of Blaine. The requested expansion seeks to accommodate additional residential carts, commercial containers, and roll-off boxes.
As announced by the City of Blaine, the hearing is scheduled for 7 PM on Tuesday, May 13, at the Blaine City Hall Council Chambers. Part of the review process, the public hearing will allow for community members to voice their comments or concerns regarding the proposed changes by Walters Refuse and Recycling. The Planning Commission will then make its recommendation based on the testimony and evidence presented to them during this session.
