DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda commended Assistant to the City Manager Espino and Mayor Burrola for the success of the recent State of the City event.

BESS URGENCY
ORDINANCE NO. 793
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 23, 2025
REGULAR MEETING PAGE 6
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz stated that it is imperative that the Council AMBRIZ adopt the urgency ordinance since it would give the City the ability to ensure that any BESS facility that is constructed within the City follows stringent rules and regulations that the City enacts.
MAYOR PRO TEM Responding to a question by Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz, Director Simpson ORTIZ advised that this matter relates to an urgency ordinance that the Council could adopt and enact immediately. Afterward, staff would present and recommend another ordinance that would follow the usual steps required for adoption and implementation.
City Attorney Guerra added that tonight's ordinance would not require wouldne presin to at acted media real read
the typical process, and that another urgency ordinance would be presented at the May 8 meeting for adoption and implementation based on the updated Zoning code. Additionally, a Specific Plan for the Gateway Project has already been approved, and staff wanted this ordinance to be in effect for when that Specific Plan takes effect.
Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz asked clarifying questions regarding the maximum height for a BESS substation and landscaping, which Director Simpson expounded on.
MAYOR BURROLA Mayor Burrola asked about the number of storage banks needed to generate 200 megawatts as well as the role of the California Energy Commission in the BESS approval process, to which Director Simpson advised that BESS applicants, through AB 205, may elect to bypass local control and take their application to the California Energy Commission. She noted that this process would cause the City to become a commenting agency with no direct control over the process.
CITY ATTORNEY City Attorney Guerra added that the process involving the CEC, which GUERRA is intended to be a quicker, streamlined process, and would have to go through the CEQA process as well. He noted that the City woulo not be a participant in the process and would not have any decision- making authority, though it could submit comments. Although the applicant would be required to work toward offering some type of benefits to the community, the City may not be a party to that. The intent of tonight's ordinance is to ensure local regulations to give a developer the option to work with the City. Without the ordinance, there would effectively be no regulations in place for a BESS facility.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda stated that staff is employing scare tactics to pressure the Council into approving the BESS facility. She also stated that the proposed ordinance does not protect the city either.

facility in Irwindale and suggested that the City prepare to fight the state.
ANONYMOUS An anonymous individual stated that it is ok for the Council to vote against the ordinance if it had doubts.
PAT GONZALES Pat Gonzales noted that approving the proposed ordinance does not approve any specific project. She also discussed her understanding of how a BESS facility operates, encouraged all to obtain a better understanding of the approval process, and thanked City Attorney FRED BARBOSA Fred Barbosa stated that he has not seen any articles proving that a BESS facility would poison the City, though he has seen many articles showing how they would benefit the community.
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson clarified that the project would include landscaping around the perimeter of the site, but not around the individual containers. She also clarified that AB 205 is a state law that allows the applicant to bypass the City. She also concurred that this process would allow the City to provide comments only; whether the City's comments are heard is up to the CEC.
CITY ATTORNEY City Attorney Guerra discussed additional AB 205 provisions. He GUERRA noted that it allows applicants to apply directly to the state and that the certificate that the state issues would be in lieu of any permit that would be required by the City's land use authority. It would apply to any storage system capable of storing more than 200MW hours and facilities such as a BESS manufacturing facility.
ARON BRANAM Aron Branam with AYPA explained with an illustration that each container would store approximately 1.3 megawatts of power and advised that the site would have practically zero truck traffic, with only light duty pickup trucks and an employee visiting the site to ensure all is operating correctly. He also noted that the proposed ordinance goes bevond the requirements of AB205 and includes important items like those under Senate Bill 38 and stated his belief that the standards put forth would allow businesses to continue operating safely and keep the community safe.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda shared the results she obtained when searching for potential BESS problems that she found using artificial intelligence.
She noted that accidents could lead to fire, explosions, and the release of taxic gasses, and stated that the ordinance does not offer protection for residents. She suggested waiting two to three years, once batteries are perfected.
