THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPEN: Rich Loy, 9062 Kahului, Huntington Beach, CA 92646, spoke in opposition to the item, protesting the City's public notification process. He asked if the surrounding schools were notified of the hearing, and whether or not an earthquake study had been done related to the proposed changes within the power generating plant. He mentioned possible flooding may cause contaminants to be flushed into the wetlands. He also • PC Minutes—12/12/00 2 (OOp=1212) •suggested the City independently hire an outside firm to study the environmental impacts of the proposed project. • Ed Blackford, applicant/site manager for AES Huntington Beach, LLC, 21730 Newland Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92646, spoke in favor of the item, explaining to the Commission how the new SCR system will operate, including its economic and safety factors. He also stated that AES will provide intensified landscaping as a good neighbor gesture to those who reside adjacent to the AES property. The Commission asked about storage -of resource material/equipment during the construction period. The applicant responded that 1 acre of the AES property will be used for storage during that time. The Commission asked about traffic interruptions during the construction period. The applicant stated that any traffic interruption would be short term (momentary). The Commission inquired about the urea -to -ammonia process. Consultant Jeremy Rolan, URS Corporation, explained the process and included pilot test results done November 15, 2000. The consultant further explained that all catastrophic scenarios were staged in order to confirm that the system would cease to operate during a reactive malfunction. The consultant stated that documentation is available, but is extremely scientific in nature. The Commission asked the applicant how much urea will be brought in monthly and the applicant responded five (5) truck loads per month, and that the urea will be in pellet form, posing less risk when transported through tanker truck connectors. The Commission asked about spill management, and the applicant responded that spills will flow into retention basins on -site, and will then be manually discharged into the sewer system after being tested for contaminants. The Commission asked about the reactor vessel, ammonia concentration, and vapor travel. The applicant and consultant explained the types of mechanisms used to control vapor travel, including sensors on pipes (ammonia detectors) that send messages to the control room and indicate alarm. The applicant also stated that the control room will be manned 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. The Commission discussed how this project will be affected by recent power shortages, including power availability and state purchase credits. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. The Commission asked Fire Department Staff to elaborate on the reactor system and it's impact on the community. Staff explained that the new equipment with improved design provides a safer operation with regard to chlorine/ammonia transport and shut down features, and that the health risk analysis proved safe to the surrounding area. PC Minutes—12112/00 3 (00p=1212) Discussion ensued regarding intensified landscaping on the south, east and westerly • property lines. Staff informed the applicant that the City's Landscape Architect had not received renderings of the intensified plan, and requested the applicant provide them as soon as possible. Federal regulations and potential health risks related to vapor exposure were also discussed. The Commission inquired about the filing process and guidelines at the state and/or federal level, along with South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) compliance. The Commission also discussed the City's public hearing notification process. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECOND BY SHOMAKER, TO APPROVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 00-49 / COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 00-15 / NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 00-09 (AES POWER GENERATING FACILITY) BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: AYES: Shomaker, Kerins, Mandic, Chapman, Biddle, Livengood, Speaker NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None MOTION PASSED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 00-09/ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 00-49 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 00-09: 1. The Negative Declaration No. 00-09 has been prepared in compliance with Article 6 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. It was advertised and available for a public comment period of thirty (30) days. Comments received during the comment period were considered by the Planning Commission prior to action on the Negative Declaration and Conditional Use Permit No. 00-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 00- 15. 2. The proposed project, method of ammonia generation, and standard conditions of approval, avoid or reduce the project's effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment will occur. 3. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Planning Commission that the project, as mitigated through the conditions of approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 00-49 and Coastal Development Permit No. 00-15 will have a significant effect on the environment. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 00-49: 1. Conditional Use Permit No. 00-49 for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the • Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system at AES Huntington Beach Power Generating PC Minutes—12/12/00 4 (00p=1212) • Station will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The SCR system is proposed in order to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from the power plant as mandated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The ammonia necessary for reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions will be generated via a Urea to Ammonia process, which allows ammonia to be generated on an as needed basis. Therefore, the proposed project does not include any transport or storage of ammonia. Based upon the conditions imposed and the proposed project itself, the community will benefit from reduced nitrogen oxide emissions. 2. The conditional use permit will be compatible with surrounding uses because nitrogen oxide emissions from the power generating facility will be reduced, dead and dying landscaping will be replaced, irrigation systems will be made 100% operational, and landscaping along the south and east perimeter will be intensified. This project is also compatible with surrounding uses because installation of the SCR equipment will have a negligible impact on the visual quality of the existing facility. The equipment will be installed within the existing boiler duct work and will not significantly alter the appearance of the existing plant. 3. The proposed Selective Catalytic Reduction at AES Huntington Beach will comply with the provisions of the base district and other applicable provisions in Titles 20-25 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. The proposed project complies with all development standards of the General Industrial zoning district. 4. The granting of the conditional use permit will not adversely affect the General Plan. It is • consistent with the Land Use Element designation of Public on the subject property. In addition, it is consistent with the following goals and policies of the General Plan: A. Land Use Element Policy LU 2.1.1: Plan and construct public infrastructure and service improvements as demand necessitates to support the land uses specified in the Land Use Plan (as defined in the Circulation and Public Utilities and Services Elements of the General Plan). B. Utilities Element Goal U 5: Maintain and expand service provision (of gas supply, telecommunication, and electricity) to City of Huntington Beach residents and business. Policy U 5.1.1: Continue to work with service providers to maintain current levels of service and facilitate improved levels of service. Policy U 5.1.4: Require the review of new and or expansions of existing industrial and utility facilities to ensure that such facilities will not visually impair the City's coastal corridors and entry nodes. The existing AES power generating facility is necessary to provide power to Huntington Beach residents and business owners in addition to the power services provided for the • entire Southern California power grid. The new SCR system will benefit residents, property owners, and the Huntington Beach community by reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from the plant as mandated by the SCAQMD. Installation of the SCR PC Minutes—12112100 5 (OOp=1212) equipment will have a negligible impact on the visual quality of the existing facility • because the equipment will be installed within the existing boiler duct work and will not significantly alter the appearance of the existing plant. The SCR system will not impair aesthetic quality of the City's coastal corridors or entry node. Suggested conditions of approval also include requirements for AES to intensify the existing landscaping around the south and east perimeters of the plant. C. Urban Design Element Policy UD 2.2.1: Require landscape and architectural buffers and screens around oil production facilities and other utilities visible from public rights -of -way. Policies - UD 1.4.1: Require the review of new and or expansions of existing industrial and utility facilities to ensure that such facilities will not visually impair the City's coastal corridors and entry nodes. The SCR system will not impair aesthetic quality of the City's coastal corridors or entry node. Suggested conditions of approval also include requirements for AES to intensify the existing landscaping around the south and east perimeters of the plant. D. Draft Coastal Element Draft Policy 9a: Approve only that development adjacent to wetlands and environmentally sensitive habitat areas that does not significantly degrade habitat values and which is compatible with the continuance of the habitat. Recognizing the greater than local significance of the City's energy resources, Coastal Element policy allows for the continuation, and in some cases expansion, of these facilities while ensuring the community's public health and safety, environmental protection and minimization of negative aesthetic impacts to the maximum extent feasible. The suggested conditions of approval include requirements for AES to improve the quality of existing landscaping around the southern and eastern property lines while also making the irrigation system 100% operational. The conditions also include language requiring AES to enter into an agreement with the City with a fair share proportionate bond to cover the cost of landscaping and street improvements for Newland Street. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO.: Coastal Development Permit No. 00-15 for the development project, as proposed or as modified by conditions of approval, conforms with the General Plan, including the Local Coastal Program. The project includes conditions to replace dead and dying landscaping, to make irrigation systems 100% operational, and to intensify landscaping along the south and east perimeter of the power plant. The project complies with the Draft Coastal Element, currently under review by the Planning Commission, which states that landscaping should be utilized to buffer the appearance of existing utility operations. 2. The project is consistent with the requirements of the CZ Overlay District, the base zoning district, as well as other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The SCR system • complies with all aspects of the Coastal Zone overlay and the General Industrial zoning district. PC Unutes—12112/00 6 (00p=1212) • 3. At the time of occupancy the proposed development can be provided with infrastructure in a manner that is consistent with the Local Coastal Program. All infrastructure necessary for the SCR system is either currently available to AES, the property owner and applicant, or AES will be installing the necessary improvements for the SCR equipment. 4. The development conforms with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act. The existing AES power generating facility nor the proposed SCR system do not conflict with either public access or public recreation to coastal amenities.
