Schell v. Southern Cal. Edison Co. (1988) 204 Cal. App. 3d 1039, involved legislation requiring the commission to establish so-called "baseline" quantities of natural gas and electricity for residential distribution at below market rates. Plaintiff sued the utility for damages and declaratory relief, contending that as the owner of a recreational vehicle (RV) park he was entitled to purchase and distribute gas and electricity to his tenants at baseline rates. In prior proceedings under the statute, the commission had designated baseline quantities on an interim basis, ruling the statutory term "residential customer" did not include transient trailer parks such as plaintiff's. Affirming the trial court's sustention of a demurrer without leave to amend, the appellate court took judicial notice of administrative matters pending on the commission's docket challenging the rate classification for baseline quantities and the exemption of RV parks. ( Id. at p. 1045.) Noting the commission had directed the defendant public utility to conduct a study of the need for and feasibility of changes in tariff rates, the court concluded that the "decision as to whether or not master-metered residential recreational vehicle parks should be charged at the same rate as similar mobile-home parks . . . is clearly within the exclusive purview of the PUC as part of its continuing jurisdiction over rate making and rate regulation in provision of baseline service to residential customers of the electric and gas corporations." ( Id. at p. 1046.)
