RESOLUTION NO. 513
A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AND
REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, TO CONSIDER PROPOSED
CONDITIONS FOR A SECOND POWER PLANT
PROPOSED BY NRG AND PROVIDE COMMENTS TO
THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION AND THE
ASSIGNED COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, the South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Area was created in
2000 and amended in 2005 in order to consider and approve redevelopment projects
which would eliminate blight in the project area; and
WHEREAS, but for the paramount jurisdiction of the California Energy
Commission, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission would consider whether or
not to issue a redevelopment permit, precise development plan and whether or not a
redevelopment project served an extraordinary public purpose for projects that
transmitted water and electrical energy; and
WHEREAS, the California Energy Commission remanded the siting application
for a second power plant proposed by NRG to the assigned committee; and
WHEREAS, the Committee called for new evidentiary hearings and consideration
of issues surrounded by proposed conditions Land-2 and Land-3; and
WHEREAS, the applicant, has requested relief from those conditions prior to
proceeding further with this project; and
WHEREAS, those conditions are necessary but may not be sufficient to eliminate
blight; and
WHEREAS, without those conditions the project clearly does not serve any
extraordinary public purpose for such a redevelopment project; and

WHEREAS, the Commission carefully considered these conditions at its special
meeting of Tuesday, September 20, 2011.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelopment
Commission of the City of Carlsbad, California, as follows that:
1. The above recitations are true and correct.
2. Two power plants are in direct conflict the goals and objectives of the
South Carlsbad Coastal Redevelopment Plant.
3. That, but for the paramount jurisdiction of the California Energy
Commission, without the conditions Land-2 and Land-3 the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission would not issue a redevelopment permit for this proposed
redevelopment project since it would not eliminate the blighting influence of a second
power plant in the project area.
4. That this resolution shall be submitted to the Committee and to the full
Commission for its careful consideration.
