§ 5.19.080. UDCB permit expiration and renewal.

A.

Unless renewed as described in Subsection B, below, each UDCB permit shall expire and become null and void annually on the anniversary of its date of issuance.

B.

A UDCB operator may apply for permit renewal by submitting to the Bureau of Planning at least one month prior to the expiration of the active UDCB permit. The UDCB permit renewal application shall be made on a form provided by the Bureau of Planning and Zoning. All applications shall be filed with the Bureau of Planning and Zoning and shall include:

1.

A signed agreement stating that the parcel owner/agent and operator will abide by all the processes and requirements described in this chapter and an expedited code enforcement process;

2.

Photographs of the existing UDCB;

3.

A non-refundable application fee in an amount set by the master fee schedule;

4.

A signed authorization from the parcel owner/agent to allow placement of the UDCB;

5.

A signed acknowledgement of responsibility from the parcel owner/agent and the operator for joint and several liability for violations of conditions or regulations, and/or blight relating to the UDCB;

6.

Proof of general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000.00 covering the applicant's UDCB and naming the City of Oakland as an additional insured;

7.

For nonprofit operators, evidence that the nonprofit has been registered as a non-profit organization with the City of Oakland, is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as such, and complies with California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 148 et seq. as it may be amended;

8.

For for-profit operators, proof of an active business tax certificate with the City of Oakland;

9.

Name and telephone number of any entity that may share or profit from items collected via the UDCB;

10.

The name, address, email, website (if available) and telephone number of the UDCB operator and parcel owner, including 24-hour contact information; and

11.

Any other reasonable information regarding time, place, and manner of UDB operation, placement, and/or maintenance that the Director requires to evaluate the proposal consistent with the requirements of this chapter.

C.

The Director shall either approve or deny the renewal of a UDCB permit within 60 days of receipt of the complete renewal application and payment of the renewal fee. The failure of the Bureau of Planning to act within this timeframe shall constitute approval of the UDCB permit renewal.

D.

The Director shall approve the renewal of a UDCB permit if he or she finds that no circumstances existed during the term of the UDCB permit or existed at any time during the review of the application for renewal that are inconsistent with any criteria required for approval of a new UDCB permit as specified in Section 5.19.090 or that would justify the revocation of the UDCB permit as specified in Subsection 5.19.170(G).

E.

See Section 5.19.110 for the appeal and petition processes for UDCB permit decisions, including decisions regarding renewal.
