How it got here
This legislation originated from the need to grant an easement to PG&E for a high-voltage transmission line in John McLaren Park, prompted by the California Public Utilities Commission's approval of the Egbert Switching Station Project.
The CPUC granted PG&E a certificate to construct the Egbert Switching Station Project, which included the installation of a new transmission line.
The Commission unanimously approved a resolution recommending the Board of Supervisors grant PG&E an easement for the installation of a high-voltage transmission line in McLaren Park.
The department submitted a referral confirming that the proposed easement for PG&E's transmission line is consistent with the General Plan and the Eight Priority Policies of Planning Code.
Supervisor Walton introduced a resolution to approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement with PG&E for the easement in McLaren Park.
The resolution was received and assigned to the appropriate committee for further action.
