Given this current national emergency and the Governor's Executive Order to take necessary steps to alleviate the impacts on the system, the City Manager will temporarily waive enforcement of current shipping container stacking and height limits for a period of 90 days from October 22, 2021. During this period, affected operations will be allowed to stack up to four (4) shipping containers without being cited for a Code violation. This will only apply to properties that are currently zoned to allow shipping container stacking. Properties that wish to stack up to 5 containers high should contact Fire Prevention to ensure the site can safely accommodate the height prior to stacking above four containers high.
The City will work during the next 90-day period to assess the situation and the effectiveness of this solution and any impacts on the surrounding areas. City staff anticipates presenting information on this topic to the City Council in November to receive further input on the solution as well as consideration for impacts to the areas where these operations are located.
