The Commerce Planning Commission gave its blessing Monday night for a company that plans to put a scrap metal recycling plant on Old Maysville Road.

KOK Recycling has signed a lease, according to planning director David Zellner, on the old Lafarge concrete production lot at 3278 Old Maysville Road, between Snider Tire and Roper Pump Company.

To make that happen, KOK must get a conditional use permit (CUP) from the Commerce City Council. Monday’s action by the planning commission is a recommendation that the council grant KOK’s request. The city council will take up that matter Monday, April 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the Commerce Room of the Commerce Civic Center.

The city has previously granted KOK a CUP to operate a recycling center in Commerce Industrial Park, located on Maysville Road, but the company decided against that location.

“I like it (the new site) a whole lot better than the other property,” observed Zellner. “It’s a pretty big lot. Most of the lot cannot be seen from the road.”

KOK will accept but not process scrap metal for recycling. Materials will be shipped from there for rendering.
