Yes, I'm quite familiar with the area. My point is, to my knowledge, PARs are exclusively operated by the military, physically located at an airport and runway specific. So unless it is a joint use airport, there would be no PAR equipment there. So Cal could probably conduct an ASR at any of the LA/San Diego airports for which they have published approach procedures.
