MEMORANDUM
DATE : December 31, 1979
TO : Planning Commission
FROM : Bud Plender, Principal Planner
SUBJECT : SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT, SMCWD WASTE WATER TREATMENT
FACILITY, PDP-3
On December 12, 1979, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the subject application. The Planning Commission closed the public hearing and directed staff to prepare documents approving PDP-3 upon discussion of the suggested conditions by staff. Staff was further directed to review these conditions to make them consistent with Planning Commission actions. This report summarizes the changes of
the conditions contained in the staff report dated December
12, 1979.
As submitted at the public hearing, a new site plan has
been made part of the application. It is listed in condition
no. 1 as Exhibit 'IC" dated 12/12/79.
As requested by the applicant, the balancing reservoir, which
was proposed west of the site, has been deleted. It was
noted as Exhibit "B", 11/15/79.
The applicant has also included a rendering of the treatment
plant and added as Exhibit 'IC,", 12/20/79.
Condition 4(A) has been deleted because this condition is
incorporated in the discharge requirements and will be
regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. It
is so noted in Exhibit "H", page 6.
Condition 4(b) has been deleted because the Water Quality Control Board does not permit discharge into the San Marcos
drainage basin. This is per Order 79-23, page 7. Monitoring is required by the monitoring and reporting program of number 79-23.
4(c) now becomes Condition No. 4 and has been modified to require that the Regional Water Quality Control Board approved the overflow prior to the final Precise Development Plan.
Two additional attachments have been added to the approval
for project description. One is an addendum to the project description (Exhibit F-1). Among other information it indicates that the storage reservoir has been designed for the probable maximum participation. This addendum also
includes other information presented by the applicant at
your public hearing.
9 : *. '.
It * b
The other attachment is Order 79-23 issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Condition No. 12 has been deleted because the issues of flooding of the treatment plant are part of the Special Use Permit, and the State Department of Dam Safety regulates the construction of the reservoir site.
Staff believes the modified conditions of the resolution and the attachments made part of, meet the concerns of the Plan- ning Commission and is ready for forwarding to the City Council for their final action.
Attachments Planning Commission Resolution 1578 Staff Report dated 12/12/79 (without attachments) Summary Description Zated 9/25/79 Addendum to project description F-1, dated. 12/28/79 Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. 79-23
