SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CARSON REFINERY PERIMETER BEAUTIFICATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND TESORO/MARATHON REFINING AND MARKETING COMPANY, LLC (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On July 5, 2017, the City and Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company LLC (Tesoro) entered into a Side Letter Agreement to make certain improvements to the perimeter of the Tesoro refinery (Refinery), Exhibit No. 1. At the same time, a Community Benefits Agreement ("CBA") between the parties was approved by the City Council. The Side Letter Agreement also acknowledged that the City will be processing, in good faith, the Conditional Use Permit for the future tank site (Tank Site CUP) at the southeast corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Wilmington Avenue, which was approved by the Planning Commission on May 14, 2019 by an 8-0 vote. The Side Letter discussed improvements to the perimeter of the Refinery in general terms. City staff has been working with Tesoro staff to refine the improvements. As a result, the proposed Carson Refinery Perimeter Beautification Agreement (Agreement) has been drafted for Council's consideration (Exhibit No. 2). This Agreement solidifies the required improvements and provides a schedule for implementing these improvements. The improvements are generally to the landscaping and fencing for the Refinery perimeter. This Agreement, together with the Conditions of Approval for the Tank Site CUP, will comprehensively improve the perimeter of the Refinery site with a consistent design.
