§ 32-157. Franchise areas.

(a)

Establishment; boundaries. The board of county commissioners is hereby authorized to create franchise areas in unincorporated areas of the county subject to the provisions of this article. Such franchise areas may be established, merged, altered or abolished by franchise agreement and shall serve to facilitate the orderly collection, recycling, and disposal of solid waste generated on property entitled to full service as defined in this ordinance; provided however, the provisions of this ordinance could be applicable in an incorporated municipality by interlocal or other agreement or by law. The franchise areas may include all or part of the unincorporated areas of the county.

(b)

Entitlement to full service. The following properties located within unincorporated Orange County are entitled to full service: mobile home parks not exceeding four (4) dwelling units, mobile home subdivisions, single-family residences, multifamily residences not exceeding four (4) dwelling units under one (1) common roof. All such properties are included within the MSBU created by Orange County Resolution No. 85-SW-06 and are required to accept full service as set forth in this article. Notwithstanding the above, the board of county commissioners may deny full service to property otherwise subject to full service where the location of the property is such that collection is impractical or infeasible or would require excessive collection costs. Upon request of a residential franchisee or the director or his designee, the board of county commissioners will consider the denial of full service on such basis. If full service is denied, the residential franchisee shall be relieved of the obligation to provide full service to such location and the location shall be removed from the number of residential premises entitled to full service for the purposes of determining the annual rate of compensation.

(c)

Obligation for special assessments. All property entitled to full service shall be subject to special assessments in the amounts set from time to time by the board of county commissioners, and such special assessments shall be collected as provided in this article.
