On a notice which proposes an expanded ultimate electric
generating capacity for a site, the commission may, based upon
findings pursuant to Section 25514, either approve the notice only
for the initial facility or facilities proposed for operation within
the forthcoming 12-year period or may approve the notice for the
initial facility or facilities and find the site acceptable for
additional generating capacity of the type tentatively proposed.  The
maximum allowable amount and type of such additional capacity shall
be determined by the commission.
   If a notice is approved which includes a finding that a particular
site is suitable to accommodate a particular additional generating
capacity, the site shall be designated a potential multiple-facility
site.  The commission may, in determining the acceptability of a
potential multiple-facility site, specify conditions or criteria
necessary to insure that future additional facilities will not exceed
the limitations of the site.
