Pasadena Municipal Code § 5.44.070
in effect5.44.070 - Special permits granted for emergency.
When the board of directors finds that an emergency exists and that public convenience and necessity require it, a special permit may be granted to any applicant for a franchise under this chapter to permit the applicant to proceed with the relocation, extension, alteration or other change in existing facilities, except repairs or maintenance changes, which relocation, extension, alteration or other change in existing facilities by reason of such emergency should be made before the securing of a franchise under this chapter is possible. Such special permit shall only be granted to an applicant for a franchise under this chapter and after the filing of the application for a franchise as in this chapter provided. An application for special permit shall be filed in writing with the board of directors setting forth such information as will permit action thereon. Reference in the application may be made to the application for franchise for a description of the proposed extension, alteration or other change in existing facilities. All such special permits shall be granted under the express condition that if a franchise under this chapter is not granted and accepted, all work done under the special permit shall be removed immediately at applicant's expense and the streets or alleys or other public places affected by such work shall be placed in as good condition as before such work was done. The board of directors may require, as a condition to the granting of the special permits, that a bond of a kind and in an amount determined by the board shall be furnished by applicant, conditioned upon the faithful performance of the terms and conditions of the permit and further conditioned that applicant shall prosecute diligently to completion all work thereunder including removal work as hereinbefore provided.
