new security fencing is being installed but the Applicant is keeping it about five (5) feet inside the old fence location to avoid removal of large diameter trees (clearing/grubbing will be necessary within the fenced area). The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on the request at their April 28, 2022 regular meeting. One property owner,who resides across the street from the Subject Property, opposed the request,primarily due to potential hazards associated with the chemical storage. There were no other written or verbal comments received on the request. Alternatives Alternative 1: Approve the Amended Conditional Use Permit for expansion of the natural gas substation on the Subject Property. The footprint of the natural gas substation is not changing,there would just be additional equipment installed on site. There is sufficient maneuvering area for a tanker truck to enter the site, fill the storage tank and exit back onto 173rd Avenue without disrupting traffic. Personnel would be on site any time flaring occurs and said occurrences would only occur during regular, daytime business hours,reducing the visible light from the flare to a nearly non-detectable light source. Staff supports this option. Alternative 2: Deny the request for an Amended Conditional Use Permit. There is already a Conditional Use Permit for this essential service on the Subject Property. Essential Services are a Conditional Use in this zoning district and the Subject Property is guided as Public in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan,which is appropriate for a substation. Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends approving the Amended Conditional Use Permit. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution#22-093 granting an Amended Conditional Use Permit to expand the substation with an odorant storage tank and associated equipment.
