BODY
SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:
This resolution would forward a proposed code amendment to the Whatcom County Planning Commission for review. The proposed amendment would revise the WCC 20.82.030 to state that applications for electrical substations and power lines would be processed as Major Development Permits and operate on land where such permits have already been granted or in those districts classified as industrial, or operate at 115kv and carry greater tha 160mw loading except on land where such permits have already been granted or in those district classified as industrial. Transmission facilities proposed to serve generation loads greater than 16mw must be located in industrial zones with access to existing 230kv transmission lines. An exception for 115,000 volt line to operate up to engineered capacity would be made for routine maintenance and under emergency conditions.
