(a) The local governing body may, either by ordinance or resolution, upon the recommendation of the appropriate land use planning agency, propose eligible parcels of property within its jurisdiction as a recycling market development zone. (b) The proposal of a recycling market development zone shall be based upon the following findings by the local governing body: (1) The current waste management practices and conditions are favorable to the development of postconsumer waste material markets. (2) The designation as a recycling market development zone is necessary to assist in attracting private sector recycling investments to the area. 42011. Any parcel of property designated as a recycling market development zone shall retain this designation for 10 years. 42012. The local governing body, or any person through the local governing body, may apply to the board for designation as a recycling market development zone. 42013. The board shall adopt regulations and guidelines concerning the necessary contents of each application for designation and, in the countywide integrated waste management plans, shall determine the maximum number of recycling market development zones to be designated pursuant to this chapter. 42014. The board may designate or redesignate recycling market development zones for persons applying for that designation. 42015. If there are more applications for designation than the number of recycling market development zones to be designated, the board shall select the applicants who shall receive the designation of a recycling market development zone based on a comparison of the applications submitted and an indication that the applicant's proposals include effective, innovative, and comprehensive tax incentives and regulatory incentives, and other incentives programs, to attract private sector investment in the proposed recycling market development zone. 42016.

The board shall provide applicants with an opportunity to correct technical deficiencies. An application shall be denied if technical deficiencies are not corrected within 14 days. 42021. Nothing in this chapter prohibits an applicant from seeking designation of an enterprise zone and receiving economic incentives as defined in Section 7073 of the Government Code. 42023.
