§ 54-203. Permit required.

It shall be unlawful for any person:

(1)

To operate or maintain a secondary metal recycling yard in the city unless the owner, operator or lessee thereof has applied for and obtained a secondary metal recycling permit from the city; or

(2)

To operate such business after such permit has expired or has been revoked or suspended by the city.

A permit shall be required for each location that a secondary metal recycling yard operates in the city. This permit shall be in addition to any other permit or license required by other local, state or federal government agencies. No permit shall be issued for any business seeking to operate at a location prohibited by any applicable local, state or federal law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation; provided, however, that a business lawfully in existence on the date of adoption of such prohibition may be issued a permit if allowed by such provisions. Prior to issuance of the secondary metal recycling permit, the director shall request other city departments to inspect the business premises to ensure compliance with other city ordinances.
