Coastal Waste outdoor storage special exception at 1701 NW 31st Avenue
Summary
The city denied Coastal Waste & Recycling's bid to keep operating outdoor metal storage on a corridor slated for redevelopment. Residents complained about dust and noise for decades; competitors said the site is still a junkyard. The denial keeps the city's vision of moving away from scrap yards on 31st Avenue.

Impact analysis
The applicant said it spent 18 months and significant money pursuing the application; denial preserves the corridor's redevelopment vision but could invite litigation or new applications.
Residents near the site, especially those on NW 18th Street, get relief from dust and noise.
The property owners lose the ability to continue a use on their land, and haulers lose a convenient scrap drop-off.
