Counc il MeetIng: June 24, 1986
Santa Monica, CalIfornia
TO: Mayor and CIty CouncIl
FROM: CIty Staff
SUBJECT: Amendment of the BoundarIes of the Marine Park
Underground UtIlity DIstrIct.
IntroductIon
ThIS report recommends that the CIty Counc1l adopt the attached
ResolutIon amendIng the boundarIes of the MarIne Park Underground
UtIlIty DistrIct from the area bounded by Sunset Avenue, MarIne
Street, 17th Street and Paula Drive, to the area on MarIne Street
from 17th Street to Frederick Street, on 16th Street from Sunset
Avenue to Dewey Street and on Dewey Street from 16th Street to
Robson Avenue and orderIng the underground Installation of
utIlItIes. (See attached map).
Back&round
On June 25, 1968, the Santa MonIca City Council adopted OrdInance
No. 773 (City Council Series), addIng Chapter 9 to ArtIcle VII of
the Santa MonIca MunIcipal Code, establIshing regulations and
procedures for overhead and underground utIlItIes.
In accordance With the above, on November 26, 1985 the Santa
Monica CIty CouncIl deSIgnated the area bounded by Sunset Avenue,
MarIne Street, 17th Street, and Paula DrIve as an underground
utIlity distrIct. ThIS area was deSIgnated as an underground
utilIty distrIct as a result of the Southern CalifornIa EdIson
Company having a high concentration of regional transmIssIon
Wires emanatIng from an electr1cal substation 1n the ImmedIate

area, and due to the fact that the electr1cal facilltIes adJoIn a
publlc recreatlon faCIlIty, namely, MarIne Park.
On March 3, 1986 the Southern CalIfornIa EdIson Company Indicated
that an extensIon of the eXIsting boundarIes of the MarIne Park
Underground DIstrIct lS desirable In order to more fully comply
wIth the criterIon that makes thIS area eligIble to be an
underground utIlity distrIct. The specifIC cr1terIon is "That
the street or road or rIght-of-way adjOinS or passes throug~ a
CiVIC area or publIC recreat10n area or an area of unusually
scenIC Interest to the general publIC." Therefore Southern
CalIforn1a Ed1son recommends that the boundarIes be extended In
order to elImInate the overhead electrIC faCIlity that pass
through MarIne Park on the easterly sIde, from MarIne Street to
Dewey Street.
All property owners In the affected area were notIfied by mall of
the CIty'S Intention to contlnue the publIC hearIng (attached).
ImplicatIons
The most sIgnif1cant change to be noted in the extendIng of the
proJect's boundar1es IS that two res1dential propertIes W1Il now
become Involved. WIthIn the current boundarIes, reSIdents are
not requIred to underground electrlcal service to their homes
because the fac1litIes are regional and do not directly serve any
houses. The extended boundarIes as recommended 10 th1S report
Initially required two (2) residential property owners, who
receive electr1cal service from the aerial power lInes which are
slated for undergroundlng, to share the cost of undergrounding
.
.
the electrical utilIty serVlce llnes that supply power to thelr
homes. After recent discusslon wlth the utIllty company It has
been determIned that no property owner wlll be requIred to
underground the electrlcal utlllty serVIce lInes that supply
power to theIr homes, Slnce the Edlson Company has desIgned the
proJect whereby they can serve these two houses aerially from the
rear, and still ellmlnate all the facillties which are planned
for removal. The two (2) affected property owners were sent
letters regardIng these changes (attached) In addltlon to the
notIce of continuance of the publIC hearlng.
Budget and FIscal Impact
All costs of the undergroundlng proJect are borne by the utIlity
company. There is no budget or flscal Impact to the CIty.
RecommendatIon
It lS recommended that the CIty Council hold the publIC hearlng,
acknowledge protests, and adopt the attached Resolutlon
InitIatlng the amendment of the boundarles of the MarIne Park
Undergroundlng Dlstrlct.
