The City Council of the City of Newport Beach will consider the following application: Coyote Canyon Landfill Gas to Energy Facility Appeal — An appeal of the Planning Commission's July 17, 2025, approval of a conditional use permit and adoption of a mitigated negative declaration (SCH No. 2024120012) to allow the construction and operation of a new renewable natural gas processing plant and pipeline interconnection facility. The facility would convert landfill gas from the closed Coyote Canyon Landfill into a pipeline -quality natural gas equivalent, which would be transferred into SoCal Gas infrastructure through an existing onsite tie-in point. Additional project components include a new control room building, new internal access routes, utility upgrades including installation of an additional fire hydrant, a water tank, a septic tank, a storm drain for off -site disposal of stormwater, and new underground power and telecommunication lines. The facility would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with one scheduled annual shutdown for maintenance. Existing onsite telecom facilities approved under PA2016-091 (SCH No. 2016081012) would remain in place and be unaffected by this application. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that, as referenced above, the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration identified as SCH No. 2024120012 has been prepared by the City of Newport Beach in connection with the application noted above. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration states that, with mitigation measures incorporated, the subject development will not result in a significant effect on the environment. It is the present intention of the City to accept the Mitigated Negative Declaration and supporting documents. This is not to be construed as either approval or denial by the City of the subject application. The City encourages members of the public to review and comment on this documentation.
