A container on your driveway or elsewhere on private property needs no Broomfield permit. The City says so in plain words on its own container permit sheet, and that is the simplest route by a distance.
The public street is where Broomfield gets specific, and it is one of the few cities that writes a permit around this exact product. A roll-off is allowed on a public street only with a permit from the Engineering Division, the permit is triggered once the container stays longer than twenty-four hours, and nothing may be placed until the permit is actually issued. The window runs up to thirty days with no building permit in force and up to one hundred and eighty days where there is an active building permit, renewable at the Traffic Engineer's discretion.
The placement rules are detailed, and they are the reason to start early. The City caps the container footprint and its width. Setbacks change with container height: a taller container must stand further back from an intersection, a crosswalk and a driveway than a shorter one. Every container must clear a fire hydrant, a flashing beacon, a stop or yield sign and a community mailbox by a stated distance, must not block a storm drain inlet or anyone's access, must not sit on a sidewalk, tree lawn, travel lane, no-parking zone, temporary loading zone or alley, and must not spoil sight lines. The Traffic Engineer can add conditions.
Two conditions land on the container itself rather than the paperwork. Each one needs reflectors on every side, or reflective traffic cones to a stated minimum size on every side. And loading has to be done so it limits noise and dust and never fills past rated capacity.
The application names the property owner and the container supplier as separate parties and asks for a diagram of the proposed spot, so this permit puts us on your paperwork. Engineering sits at One DesCombes Drive and the line is 303-438-6380. Your account manager can confirm whether your spot needs it.
