The reason for both being renewed <br />at the same time is modifications to the language are typically proposed. This renewal process is <br />scheduled for every four years. The approval for the CUP and SWFL are both subject to the proposed <br />language changes which either have a strikethrough or are highlighted in the attached CUP and license. <br />These changes can be considered housekeeping. This approval is separate from both the Peaking Plant <br />and the proposed building addition. <br />Planning Commission Discussion <br />The Planning Commission recommended approval of both the solid waste facility license and the <br />Conditional Use Permit. Some of the comments the Planning Commission brought up were odor, <br />outside storage and the proposed Peaking Plant. There is language in the CUP to address odor if <br />complaints are received. Outside storage is not related to this application as this is only for the refused <br />derived fuel process of the facility. <br />Public Comment <br />No comments have been received by City staff. <br />Attachments <br />• Staff report to Planning Commission dated February 12, 2008 <br />• Vicinity map; <br />• Site Map <br />• Memorandum from GRE, dated December 13, 2007 <br />• The current CUP and SWFL for the facility <br />C:ADocuments and Settings\jmillec\Local SetdngrsV'femporary Internet piles\OI,K3F,ARFQUFS'I' COUNCII, AC'flON.doc <br />
