Subject:

Revised Southern California Edison Easement on City Owned Parking Lot for 180 S. Brea Boulevard.

RECOMMENDATION

Approve Grant of Easement (Revised) to Southern California Edison.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

On November 7, 2017, City Council approved the Grant of Easement to Southern California Edison ("SCE") on City owned parking lot located at the northwest corner of Orange Avenue and Birch Street behind 180 S. Brea Boulevard. This easement is for the proposed electrical transformer and the conduits servicing the new uses (entertainment venue and restaurants) for 180 S. Brea Boulevard as approved by Planning Commission per Resolution No. PC 2016-17. Exhibit 'A' - Location Map and Exhibit 'B' - Approved SCE Easement are attached herewith for reference.

Subsequent to the City Council approval of the Grant of Easement, SCE revised the conduit location due to the change in the point of electrical service, which was outside the approved easement. Hence, the easement needs to be revised to coincide with the revised conduit location (see Exhibit 'C' - SCE Easement Revised). The revised Grant of Easement document has been reviewed by the City Engineer for the legal description of the easement area and the easement form is in compliance with the form previously reviewed by the City Attorney's office and approved by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

Pursuant to the Conditions of Approval per Resolution No. PC 2016-17, the property owner is responsible to pay for any cost and perform any work related to the easement process with SCE. Furthermore, the costs associated with staff efforts to review and approve the revised Grant of Easement documents are included in the development processing fees collected from the property owner. Therefore, there is no General Fund impact from this action.

The revised Grant of Easement documents have been reviewed by the City Engineer and City Attorney's office. Therefore, staff is recommending the City Council consider approving the revised Grant of Easement to Southern California Edison to install the electrical transformer and conduits, which serve the adjacent properties. The Grant of Easement to SCE approved by City Council on November 17, 2017 has not been recorded with the County Recorder's Office and therefore, said non-recorded Grant of Easement document will be discarded.
