1 STATE OF CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION SAN FRANCISCO, CA Edmund G. Brown Jr. Governor December 9, 2011 Advice Letter 2652-E Akbar Jazayeri Vice President, Regulatory Operations Southern California Edison Company P O Box 800 Rosemead, CA Subject: Modification to Schedule DMS-2 to Include Owner Lot Recreational Vehicle Parks Dear Mr. Jazayeri: Advice Letter 2652-E is effective December 9, Sincerely, Edward F. Randolph, Director Energy Division

2 Akbar Jazayeri Vice President of Regulatory Operations November 9, 2011 ADVICE 2652-E (U 338-E) PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ENERGY DIVISION SUBJECT: Modification to Schedule DMS-2 to Include Owner Lot Recreational Vehicle Parks Southern California Edison Company (SCE) hereby submits for filing the following changes to its tariff schedules. The revised tariff sheets are listed on Attachment A and are attached hereto. PURPOSE This filing proposes to modify SCE s Schedule DMS-2, Domestic Service Mobilehome Park Multifamily Accommodation Submetered, to allow service to Owner Lot Recreational Vehicle (RV) Parks; and SCE s Rule 1, Definitions, to establish the Owner Lot RV Park definition. BACKGROUND It has come to SCE s attention that there is at least one, if not more, submetered Owner Lot RV Parks in its service area that operate as common interest developments under the California Davis Sterling Common Interest Development Act, California Civil Code 1350 et seq. Such Owner Lot parks do not have a park owner that operates the park as a business enterprise by renting out lots for long- or short-term use. Instead, such Owner Lot parks are similar to condominium complexes in that each lot, space, area or parcel is individually owned and occupied as a primary residence or a second home, and the park is managed by a nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association. The lots may be occupied by RVs, manufactured homes, or mobilehomes. In addition to the individually owned lots, there may be common areas that are either owned and maintained by the association or in common by the individual lot owners, who each possess the right to use the common area. P.O. Box Walnut Grove Ave. Rosemead, California (626) Fax (626)

3 ADVICE 2652-E (U 338-E) November 9, 2011 The Owner Lot RV Parks are configured as master-metered parks, where SCE delivers electrical service to the park s master meter and the park s managing entity provides submetered service to the individual lots and common areas. SCE s current submetering domestic schedules, namely Schedules DMS-2 and DMS-3, are only available to (1) mobilehome park multifamily accommodations on a single premises where all of the single family mobilehome accommodations are separately submetered and tenant occupied; or (2) recreational vehicle parks in which the park or portions of the park are separately submetered and set aside for pre-paid month-tomonth tenants of the park owner for long term permanent use for nine months or more of the year. Based on current applicability, neither of these schedules accommodate Owner Lot RV Parks and the unique features described above. Accordingly, SCE proposes to modify Schedule DMS-2 to allow master-metered service for Owner Lot RV Parks on a single premises where all of the accommodations are separately submetered. PROPOSED TARIFF CHANGES SCE proposes to revise Schedule DMS-2 s Applicability section to include Owner Lot RV Parks. In addition, SCE will establish a new Special Condition within Schedule DMS-2, and amend Rule 1, to define Owner Lot RV Parks as follows: Owner Lot RV Parks: Owner Lot RV Parks are common interest developments governed by the requirements of the Davis Sterling Common Interest Development Act, which is codified in California Civil Code Sections 1350 through In such common interest developments, there is no park owner that operates the park and leases lots in the park as a business enterprise. Instead, each of the common interest development park's lots are individually owned as single family residences and the common interest development park is managed by a nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association. In addition to the individually owned lots, there may be a common area that is either owned or maintained by the association or in common by the individual lot owners who each possess the right to use the common area. The Owner Lot RV Parks are configured as master-metered parks in which SCE delivers electrical service to the park s master meter and the park s managing entity provides submetered service to the individual lots and common areas. No cost information is required for this advice filing. This advice filing will not increase any rate or charge, cause the withdrawal of service, or conflict with any other schedule or rule. TIER DESIGNATION Pursuant to General Order (GO) 96-B, Energy Industry Rule 5.2, this advice letter is submitted with a Tier 2 designation.
