SUBJECT : Wilmington Marquee
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This resolution requests the Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to issue an encroachment permit to
enable an appropriate party to place a marquee at 1345 West
Pacific Coast Highway (State Route 1) in the community of
Wilmington in Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS : Existing law requires Caltrans to maintain and
operate state highways, including monuments and plaques placed
in the highway right-of-way. An encroachment permit allows
someone other than Caltrans to conduct activity; including
installing permitted structures, in the highway right-of-way.
Caltrans issues encroachment permits for the installation of

billboards, mailboxes, fences, monuments, and other structures.
According to its Encroachment Permits Manual (EPM), Caltrans may
issue encroachment permits without charge in two instances.
First, the EPM states that public corporations, such as state
and municipal governments, are exempt from paying encroachment
permit fees. Alternatively, Caltrans administratively waives
some encroachment permit fees for particular markers, such as:
1. Adopt-A Highway Program signs.
2. United States and California state flags.
3. Locally funded project identification signs.
4. Native American Tribal Development signs.
5. Memorial/historical plaques and Blue Star memorial highway
markers authorized by legislative resolution.
This resolution:
1. Requests Caltrans issue an encroachment permit to enable an
appropriate party to place a marquee at 1345 West Pacific
Coast Highway in the community of Wilmington in Los Angeles.
2. Requires that the design and placement of the marquee be
consistent with Caltrans standards.
3. Requires that funding for the marquee be from nonstate
funds.

Spanish land grant; it was originally called New San Pedro. In
the mid-1800s, Phineas Banning settled in the area and made
great contributions to the town, including the development of a
wharf at the end of what is now Avalon Boulevard. In
recognition of Mr. Banning's accomplishments, the city was
renamed "Wilmington" after his birthplace in Delaware. In 1909,
the City of Los Angeles annexed Wilmington.
Comments
According to the author's office, the purpose of this resolution
is to request Caltrans to issue a permit to allow the
installation of a monument, the Wilmington Marquee, at the
corner of West Pacific Coast Highway and Figueroa Street. This
monument will give a sense of identity, improve civic pride, and
promote tourism to the Wilmington community.
