4.
How many parking spaces do I need for my business?

Although this question asks for quantifying the specific need of parking spaces, parking standards are developed not only as mere numbers, but as major components to a successful business’ image and viability. Parking standards will serve for the basis functions of circulation and vehicle storage, and also provide for pedestrian safety, convenience and visual aesthetics.	

5.
How many dwelling units can I build on my residential property?

Zoning codes also serve to control the amount of building construction in order to satisfy acceptable community standards related to residential densities and living conditions. One such requirement is the maximum number of units that can be built on a property. Density varies depending upon the residential zone in which it is located, for example, R-1 (Single Family), R-2 (Medium Density) or R-3 (High Density) and/or the property’s land area.	

6.
I need a sign for my business. What process do I need to go through to put it up?

Generally, all new signs and sign face changes will need to be submitted to the Design Review Board for evaluation. This process can be bypassed if the commercial center in which the business is located has an approved master sign program. Otherwise, an application for Design Review must be completed.	

7.
Why can’t I put a six feet high wall in the front yard of my house?

The current standard of a maximum of four feet, or in some cases, four and one-half feet, is implemented to provide not only a type of security for the property, but also to insure visibility for safety reasons. If you are considering the in the front yard, please stop by City Hall to submit a simple site plan and wall elevation for Planning clearance prior to starting the work

We must reduce packaging waste and ensure it gets recycled to meet our state’s recycling and climate goals.

On June 30, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 54 (Allen, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2022) into law to address the impacts of single-use packaging and plastic food service ware. This landmark packaging law requires that by 2032 we:

 The Town will begin construction on the Downtown Master Plan Catalyst Project the first week of April. The project is a $4.9 million investment that serves as a catalyst for building community in Danville. The construction plan prioritizes continued access and enjoyment of Downtown Danville over the course of the project: 

🛍 All businesses will remain open and accessible. 
🟢 Hartz Avenue will remain open, with minimal closures for paving. 
🚗 When paving happens, it will be overnight.
📍 Construction will be in phases, intersection-by-intersection. 
🌜 Most construction activities will happen Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
🎊 Downtown community events will go on as scheduled, with modifications.
Resources for Local Education Agencies: K-12 Public Schools and School Districts - CalRecycle Home Page
See Containers for container color and labeling requirements.
Containers
School staff and administrators must provide containers to collect organic waste and recyclables in all areas where disposal containers are provided, except in restrooms. However, a school is not required to provide an internal collection container if a specific material type is not generated in a particular room (e.g., food waste in a classroom).
Containers must conform to the proper color or labeling requirements:

School staff may use existing internal organics collection containers until they are no longer functional or until January 1, 2036, whichever comes first, as long as they are the correct color.
Alternatively, school staff may adhere labels to existing internal containers that identify accepted and prohibited materials.

Waivers from Organic Waste Collection Requirements
CalRecycle may waive a local education agency’s obligation to comply with some or all of the organic waste collection service requirements if they meet specific exceptions [see 14 CCR Section 18986.3(a)]. Please see our SB 1383 Waivers webpage to determine if your local education agency meets the criteria to apply for a waiver and to learn about the waiver process.

Edible Food Recovery Program
Starting January 1, 2024, local education agencies with an on-site food facility (like a school cafeteria) will be required to donate all edible food to a food recovery organization that they would otherwise throw away. Every year, millions of pounds of food that could be eaten is thrown away and sent to a landfill, including from school cafeterias. This new requirement will benefit local communities by diverting food to hungry Californians, including the 1 in 5 children in the state who do not have enough to eat.
Schools and districts don’t have to wait until 2024 to start a food recovery program. You can start now by donating food to local food banks, food pantries, and other food recovery organizations and services.
Requirements
Local education agencies with an on-site food facility shall arrange to recover the maximum amount of edible food that would otherwise by disposed by:

Contracting with food recovery organizations or services that will collect their edible food or self-hauling edible food to a food recovery organization.

On the trail to spring picnics in Sonoma County parks
Please practice Leave No Trace: If you bring it into the outdoors, take it back with you. Discarded to-go containers, soda cans, plastic bags, etc. all have far-reaching, negative impacts on wildlife and the environment. 
Pack out everything you pack in – not all these picnic sites have trash cans nearby – and be a hero and pick up other trash and litter to leave the place better than you found it.
