NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors will conduct a public hearing on Options Related to Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Projects in the Unincorporated Area as follows:

HEARING INFORMATION:

Date:   September 11, 2024

Time:   9:00 a.m.

Location:  County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 310, San Diego, California 92101

APPLICANT: San Diego County

PROJECT/CASE NUMBER(S): PDS2024-POD-24-004

LOCATION: The Project would affect the whole unincorporated San Diego County.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  On July 17, 2024 (8), the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) provided recommendations and directed the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to “establish development standards for siting battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the unincorporated area.” Currently, the County does not have specific definitions nor development standards in place to guide the review process for new BESS projects. Because of this, the County’s department of Planning & Development Services (PDS) processes these types of projects consistent with the nearest comparable land use categories in the Zoning Ordinance, such as minor and major impact utilities.  Additionally, at the Hearing on July 17, 2024, the Board directed the CAO to bring back options to incentivize safety while the development standards are being created. These options include, but are not limited to, an ordinance temporarily pausing (45 days, plus potential extensions) acceptance of any new BESS project applications, mandatory review of battery BESS projects by the Board, interim standards within six months, and any other options for stopgap measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: The proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the action is an administrative action that does not commit the County to a specific project and will not have a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect effect on the environment.

STAFF CONTACT: For more information regarding the project, please contact the project manager at the contact noted below.

PROJECT/CASE NUMBER(S): PDS2020-POD-20-016; PDS2020-GPA-004; PDS2020-ER-20-00-002

LOCATION: The Project would affect the whole unincorporated San Diego County.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Climate Action Plan (CAP) Update sets measures and actions the County of San Diego (County) will take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the county’s unincorporated areas and from County operations. The CAP Update is being completed in response to the Board’s January 13, 2021 (5), approval of policy guidelines to develop a comprehensive and legally enforceable CAP. This action requests the Board to approve the Project, which includes adoption of the Draft Final CAP Update, Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR), General Plan Amendment, 2011 General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) Amendment, Guidelines for Determining Significance for Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Threshold of Significance, and CAP Consistency Review Checklist.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: On August 3, 2011 (1), the Board certified the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) and approved the General Plan Update (2011 GPU). The County determined that the CAP Update could potentially result in one or more new significant effects that were not previously evaluated in the 2011 GPU PEIR. This Project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Project qualifies for a Supplement to the 2011 GPU PEIR under CEQA Section 15163. A CAP Update Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) dated May 2024, has been prepared for the Project and is on file with Planning & Development Services (PDS). The CAP Update SEIR evaluated potentially significant effects for the following environmental areas of potential concern: Aesthetics; Agricultural and Forestry Resources; Air Quality; Biological Resources; Cultural and Paleontological Resources; Energy; Environmental Justice; Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Land Use and Planning; Noise; Transportation; Tribal Cultural Resources; and Wildfire.
