boundaries of the Santa Monica-Highland Parking Meter Zone (PMZ)
in Council District 13.
Recommendations for Council action:

ordinance amending Subsection 26(A) of Section 88.00 of the
Los Angeles Municipal Code to expand the boundaries of the
Santa Monica-Highland PMZ, to revise Line 3 and add Lines 915 as follows:

Avenue
b. Sycamore Avenue from Santa Monica Boulevard to
Willoughby Avenue
c. Orange Drive from Santa Monica Boulevard to Willoughby
Avenue
d. Mansfield Avenue from Santa Monica Boulevard to
Willoughby Avenue
e. Citrus Avenue from Romaine Street to Willoughby Avenue
f. Willoughby Avenue from Sycamore Avenue to Highland
Avenue
g. South side of Romaine Street from La Brea Avenue to
Sycamore Avenue
h. Romaine Street from Sycamore Avenue to Highland
Avenue
2. DIRECT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation
(LADOT) to install metered parking directly in front of
contiguous commercial properties in the expanded zone street
segments listed above, upon City Council adoption of the
expanded PMZ.
Fiscal Impact Statement:
The LADOT reports that there is no fiscal impact to the City’s General
Fund. The Street Parking Revenue Fund (SPRF) will fund the cost of
implementing and maintaining the expanded PMZ, estimated at an
initial cost of $515,000 to install parking meter equipment and
associated signs, stall markings, and red curb. The expanded
boundary of the Santa Monica-Highland PMZ is estimated to generate
approximately $1.6 million in annual gross revenue. The City may
also generate additional General Fund revenue from the issuance of
parking citations at the newly installed parking meters. |

EXEMPTION, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to the Department
of Water and Power (DWP) Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).
Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL
OF THE MAYOR:
1. DETERMINE that the DWP’s amendments to the OATT is
exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines 15060(c)(3). In accordance with this

definition of a project. Section 15378(b)(4) states that
government fiscal activities which do not involve any
commitment to any specific project which may result in a
potentially significant physical impact on the environment do not
meet that definition. Therefore, the amendment to an agreement
to change the terms of the agreement is not subject to CEQA.
2. APPROVE the DWP Resolution and General Manager and
Chief Engineer's Supplemental Certificates authorizing
Amendments No. 5 and No. 6 to the OATT, DWP No. BP 01017.

Power Commissioners (Board) by approval of an amendment to

Manager the authority to enter into such transmission service
agreements pursuant to the OATT.

7, Division 23 of the LAAC approving the DWP OATT and
providing the Board the authority to enter into agreements for

there is no impact on the General Fund. Proposed Amendments No. 5
and No. 6, to the DWP OATT, DWP BP-017, modify only existing nonrate terms and conditions relating to the provisioning of transmission
