Council approves special‑use rezoning for recycling collection facility at 4430 S. Kansas Avenue
Summary
After a public hearing and applicant presentation, the Common Council approved a change from M‑1 to M‑1 special‑use to permit a recycling collection facility at 4430 South Kansas Avenue.
The Common Council of the City of Saint Francis on Jan. 7 approved a change of zoning from M‑1 limited industrial to M‑1 limited industrial special use to allow a recycling collection facility at 4430 South Kansas Avenue.
A company owner who submitted the application said the facility would collect household and retail appliances — refrigerators, washers, dryers and similar items — and consolidate them on semi‑trailers for transport to a processing site in Illinois. The applicant said the site would not perform appliance dismantling on site and would not accept electronics recycling. “No e‑waste because we don't recycle electronics…anything from kitchen and laundry appliances,” the applicant said.
Council members asked about materials handling, noise and operations. The applicant said operations would be minimal on site, with occasional forklift activity, and that the firm disposes of materials according to EPA standards. The public hearing closed with no further speakers.
The council voted to approve the rezoning request and directed the city attorney to prepare the ordinance. The transcript records the motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote with no roll‑call tally recorded.
The approved change allows the property to operate as a recycling collection facility under M‑1 special‑use standards; the transcript did not record any conditions attached to the approval or a numerical vote tally.
