Chapter 3 Infrastructure<br />

• Regulatory Setting<br />

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)<br />

CPUC Decision 95-08-038 contains the rules for the planning and construction <strong>of</strong> new<br />

transmission facilities, distribution facilities, and substations. The Decision requires<br />

permits for the construction <strong>of</strong> certain power line facilities or substations if the voltages<br />

would exceed 50 kV or the substation would require the acquisition <strong>of</strong> land or an increase<br />

in voltage rating above 50 kV. Distribution lines and substations with voltages less than<br />

50 kV need not comply with this Decision; however, the utility must obtain any<br />

nondiscretionary local permits required for the construction and operation <strong>of</strong> these<br />

projects. CEQA compliance is required for construction <strong>of</strong> facilities constructed in<br />

accordance with the Decision.<br />

Title 20 and Title 24, California Code <strong>of</strong> Regulations (CCR)<br />

Title 20, Public Utilities and Energy, contains the regulations related to power plant siting<br />

certification. Title 24, California Building Standards, contains the energy efficiency<br />

standards related to residential and nonresidential buildings. Title 24 standards are based,<br />

in part, on a State mandate to reduce California’s energy demand.<br />

In accordance with Section 66473.1 <strong>of</strong> the Subdivision Map Act, Section 19.24.110,<br />

Energy Conservation, requires subdivisions <strong>of</strong> five or more lots, other than condominium<br />

conversions, to provide for, to the extent feasible, future passive or natural heating or<br />

cooling opportunities in the subdivision. The <strong>City</strong>, by State law is responsible for<br />

implementing a Subdivision Map Act.<br />

Local Regulations<br />

<strong>Inglewood</strong> Municipal Code<br />

Chapter 15.32, Underground Utilities, requires the removal <strong>of</strong> poles, overhead wires and<br />

associated overhead structures within designated areas <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> and the underground<br />

installation <strong>of</strong> wires and facilities for supplying electric, communication or similar or<br />

associated service.<br />
