Document Description
NOTE: Review Per Lead
The project is a proposed ordinance to regulate and limit the use of polystyrene foam food packaging by retail food providers in the unincorporated area of Monterey County. These regualtions allow for reasonable measures to protect the environment, reduce solid waste, and decrease litter throughout the unincorporated county. Currently, there are ~2,200 permitted food providers located in Monterey County. Approximately 170 permitted food providers are in the unincorporated areas of Monterey County. Approximately 160 food providers may be subject to the requirements of this proposed ordinance.
A 365 day "grace period" has been incorporated to allow food providers adequate time to expend current stocks of non-complaint food packaging.
