The City Council of the City of Tustin DOES HEREBY ORDAIN as 7 follows: 8 I. The City Council finds and determines as follows: 9 A. Assembly Bill 2948 "Tanner Bill" adopted by the California State Legislature in 1986 and modified 10 in 1989 by Assembly Bill 19201 requires local jurisdictions to develop plans and policies for ~1 regulating hazardous waste including the management siting and planning for future handling, disposal ~2 and treatment of hazardous waste. ~3 B. Should the City not develop a plan and have appropriate policies, regulations, Ordinances and ]4 procedures, the City will lose the ability to regulate the siting of hazardous waste facilities ]5 within Tustin and the State of California will retain the right to make hazardous waste facility d0 siting decisions and regulations for the City of Tustin. 17 C. Current regulations and City codes do not address ]8 hazardous waste facilities and the City currently lacks zoning and regulatory authority and has no ~9 siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities. 20 D.~ In March 1989, the Tustin City Council adopted Resolution No. 89-41 approving the Orange County 2] Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The City of Tustin is in the process of adopting provisions of the 22 "Plan" into the City's General Plan and zoning code so as to make siting criteria and standards 23 consistent with the Orange County Waste Management Plan. 24 E. ' The City is currently considering and studying the 25 feasibility of an Ordinance which provides policies, regulations, and procedures for the siting of 26 hazardous waste facilities. Hazardous Waste Facility issues will also be examined as part of the 27 General Plan Revision Program currently being initiated. 28 Ordinance No. 1045 Page 2 II. The provisions of Exhibit "A" attached hereto and 4 incorporated by this reference, are added to the City's zoning ordinances, Chapter 2 of the City's Code. III. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act 6 ("CEQA") and Article 18 of the State Guidelines, the proposed project has been found to be exempt from the 7 requirements of CEQA, and therefore, no environmental documents are required. 8 IV. This Ordinanceis a City-wide Urgency Ordinance, enacted 9 pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(b), adopting interim zoning regulations for the siting of hazardous I0 waste facilities, as shown on Exhibit A. These Urgency Ordinance provisions are adopted pending the completion ~] of a study and report of the Planning Commission and Community Development Department and action by the City ]2 Council on General Plan and zoning code amendments. The Urgency Ordinance shall extend for a period of 45 days ~3 from the date of adoption of this Ordinance, unless legally extended by a noticed public hearing or ]4 terminated. ~5 V. There is a current and immediate threat to the public welfare, health, and safety and that the approval of ~6 additional subdivisions, use permits, variances, building permits, or other applicable entitlements for use without ~7 the provisions of Exhibit "A" would result in a threat to public health, safety, and welfare. The facts 18 constituting the urgency are as follows: ~9 a. Without local regulations and siting criteria, applications and siting for hazardous waste 20 facilities' will be subject to State or County regulations. The City may be required to permit a 2] hazardous waste facility on a site inappropriate for such use which may have an adverse impact on other 22 land uses and development in the City and upon 23~l proper City planning b. Without local regulations, which are required to 24 protect public health, safety and welfare, the City ' may be required to permit a hazardous waste facility 25 that poses a danger to public health or safety. Ordinance No. 1045 Page 3 . As a result, the City Council finds and declares that this Urgency Ordinance is required for the immediate preservation of the public peace, safety, and/or health of the citizens of Tustin. Pursuant to the California Government Code 65858, this Ordinance requires a four- fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council and shall be effective immediately upon said vote. Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 18th day of June, 1990. RICHARD B. EDGAR ~ "~" MAYOR ORDINANCE NO. 1045 EXHIBIT A HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITIES 1.0 - PURPOSE AND POLICIES The purpose of this interim Ordinance is to establish interim standards in order to control the location, design, and maintenance of hazardous waste facilities and to protect the public health, safety, general welfare, quality of life, and environment of the residents of Tustin. The City Council finds and determines that the interim Ordinance regulations for hazardous waste facilities are necessary to protect, promote and enhance the public health, safety and general welfare; and that the interim Ordinance incorporates State mandated criteria; and that hazardous waste and hazardous waste facilities are of significant regional and environmental importance to require local cooperative efforts, specified siting criteria, environmental review and public input. Therefore the City of Tustin adopts the .following policies: 1. The City will place public participation as a top priority throughout the process of siting hazardous waste facility projects. 2. The City of Tustin will cooperate fully with other local, State, and Federal agencies to efficiently regulate the management of hazardous material and hazardous waste. 3. Transportation of hazardous waste will be minimized, and regulated where possible, to avoid environmentally sensitive areas and populated, congested, and dangerous routes, especially within the City of Tustin. 4. The regulations governing the discharge of hazardous waste into sewer systems will be strictly enforced. 5. The City of Tustin recognizes that household hazardous wastes are a problem, and will work with Orange County Fire Department to ensure that household hazardous wastes are properly managed and not deposited in County landfills. The City of Tustin General Plan, when such Plan is prepared, shall address types and quantities of household hazardous waste generated in Tustin, options and strategies for managing these wastes, and a program for educating the residents of Tustin as to EXHIBIT A Page 2 identification and proper management of household hazardous waste. 6. The hazardous waste facility Ordinance does not apply to a) Transportable Treatment Units (TTU), which are designed to be moved either intact or in modules and which are intended to be operated at a given location for a limited period of time, or b) permanent on-site hazardous waste facilities at locations where hazardous waste is produced, and which is owned by, leased to, or under the control of the producer of the waste, or c) motor waste oil reclamation on service station sites.
