Mr. Spondello gave the staff report.
A discussion among Councilmembers and staff followed focusing on
Condition of Approval No. 65, potential formation of a Utility Assessment
District in the future, and how that condition may affect the property. It
was noted this condition preserves a future right and such preservation
often occurs when discretionary approvals are sought. Case by case
discussions on requirements to underground existing poles will continue to
take place on upcoming projects. Future policy discussion will need to
take place regarding a Utility Assessment District to ensure a fair-share
contribution tied to a nexus can be established.
With respect to the Princeton widening project, at this time there is no plan
to underground existing poles within the City's portion of the project from
Condor Drive to the Sharma Engineering office location, however,
Southern California Edison is presently re-visiting undergrounding existing
poles with the City.
Mayor Parvin opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. Applicant Abdul
Salehi answered questions regarding future uses, noted cars will no
longer be sold at this location, and has made alterations to the proposed
