Key Benefits:
(a) A county may tentatively reserve an area or areas for the location of a new solid waste transformation or disposal facility or the expansion of an existing transformation or disposal facility even though that reservation of the area or areas is not consistent with the applicable city or county general plan. A reserved area in a countywide siting element is tentative until it is made consistent with the applicable city or county general plan.
(b) If a county has tentatively identified a site expansion or a potential site for a new solid waste transformation or disposal facility in its countywide siting element, that tentative site identification may be deemed a tentative area for the purposes of Sections 41711 and 41712.
(Added by Stats. 1989, Ch. 1095, Sec. 22.)
An area tentatively reserved for the establishment or expansion of a solid waste transformation or disposal facility shall be removed from the countywide siting element if a city or county fails or has failed to make the finding that the area is consistent with the general plan or has made a finding that the area should not be used for the location of a solid waste transformation or disposal facility.
(Added by Stats. 1989, Ch. 1095, Sec. 22.)
The removal of a tentatively reserved area from the countywide siting element, pursuant to Section 41711, shall be accomplished by either one of the following methods:
(a) The county shall remove the area at the time of the next revision of the siting element.
(b) The local agency having jurisdiction over the area shall request the county to remove the designation at the time of the next revision of the siting element.
