On June 15, 2020, the Planning Commission approved Design Review 20-03 for the
construction of a new, two-story, 3,429 square feet single family dwelling. The project
was approved with 33 conditions of approval. The Conditions of Approval is attached to
this staff report as Exhibit "E". The City is initiating a modification to amend the conditions
of approval to eliminate Condition of Approval No. 31, which currently states:

31. All utilities adjacent to and serving the property shall be underground.
On August 26, 2021, Southern California Edison (SCE) contacted the Public Works
Department and informed the City Engineer that SCE is trying to comply with the
undergrounding requirements set forth in the Conditions of Approval, however, there are
circumstances that may hinder the safety of SCE's equipment. The City Engineer
discussed the issue with SCE and as a result, it was determined that undergrounding
utilities would be impractical. According to SCE, the pole is too close to the driveways at
3138 and 3132 Burton Avenue, which are located across the street from the project site.
As illustrated in the photos below and discussed in SCE's email (attached as Exhibit "F"),
if a riser was installed on Pole 1844499E, the riser would be 3/ inch away from the pole
and the safety of the riser could be compromised as it could be easily hit by vehicles
utilizing the driveway from either property. For this reason, the City Engineer is
recommending the amendment of the Public Works Department Conditions to eliminate
the undergrounding of utilities.
