7. Whether the signage on the program is acceptable as conditioned, including the freeway- .- oriented building-mounted sign on Building A. This item is to come back with the southerly elevation of Building A. Other Issues: Commissioner Sullivan advised that he would like to see the information regarding the emissions, risk management plan, and the results of the modeling that was done before it is approved. He stated that he would like to know exactly what is coming out of the stacks, where it is going to go, and what the risks and hazards are; and he would like to have this material peer- reviewed. Commissioner Roberts would like to know if any adjustments will be made to the stack height or in other areas once the report is received. Commissioner Arkin stated that he share the concerns of Commissioner Sullivan, but in talking to the applicant he understands that the decisions about what groups will be located at this site have not been made, and the evolvement of this industry will cause the types of chemicals that are going to be used to change. He commented that it would be better to have a process in place so that when the chemical changes, the City is notified and can comment. Commissioner Sullivan advised that it is standard procedure to prepare a risk management plan or program based on the current use, and then the plan is amended when it changes. ---- Mr. Swift advised that the City is primarily involved in the review of this information through the implementation of the Hazardous Materials Ordinance by the Fire Department. He advised that the information staff has received from Applied Biosystems is that they will not reach the level to require a Risk Management Plan. He further advised that this does not mean that they will not be doing an analysis of the emissions, in that they will have regulations that they will still have to meet as required by other agencies. He noted that it would be possible to require an equivalent of a Risk Management Plan for the level of operations that they will have, even though they may not technically trigger the need at the EP A level. Commissioner Sullivan advised that he is concerned about the adjacent residents and would like an analysis done, as well as a peer review of the analysis. Mr. Swift advised that the Planning Commission could add a condition requiring the completion of a Risk Management Plan which would be peer-reviewed and returned to the Planning Commission, prior to the operation of the facility. The Planning Commission agreed with this recommendation. Commissioner Sullivan asked for information regarding the possibility of the City taking some of the liability to allow public access around the trails, especially near the lake area. Mr. Swift advised that they have discussed with Applied Biosystems as to whether they would be willing to allow trail access on and around the site, with the City indemnifying and holding them harmless, and they indicated that this would not be satisfactory to them. Mr. Swift advised that staff pretty much agrees with this if the access includes the trail that goes right down along the lake area. He further advised that staff has discussed with the applicant the possibility of building a loop trail PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 24, 2001 Page 13
