Use History
The applicant operated a regulated medical waste transfer facility on property known as 1306
Bellwood Road, east of the request site, since the approval of a conditional use in November 1995,
with no known adverse impacts on area uses or public health and safety (See Surrounding Land
Uses Map, Page 3). In 2015, the applicant moved the medical waste transfer operation to the
request property where a facility was constructed with enclosed dock space, dispatch/driver areas
and offices.
Drivers are dispatched to pick up regulated medical waste from healthcare facilities (such as
hospitals, medical offices and laboratories and nursing homes) throughout the area. Sealed
containers of medical waste are transferred, in an enclosed building, from these trucks to trailers.
Trailers containing the sealed containers of waste are then transported from the property to the

Proposal
The applicant is requesting an amendment of conditional use (Case 15SN0609) to permit the
transfer and storage of confidential documents within their existing facility. For this portion of
their business, drivers are dispatched to pick up confidential documents from a variety of business
and office uses throughout the area. These documents are handled so as to protect the privacy of

the information for secure disposal a
security needed for handling and destroying these documents.
As noted above, existing zoning limits the number of onsite storage trailers containing medical
waste to a maximum of 6 trailers at any one time (Proffered Condition 3 of Case 15SN0609). The
condition contains standards of refrigeration, as required by state regulations. The applicant is
requesting to amend this condition to permit 8 additional trailers containing medical waste to be
permitted onsite at any one time. The additional trailers would be subject to all of the same
regulations governing the existing storage trailers.
