No gas meter, just the pipes. The new service needs to be on the other corner to the left of the old meter.

Since the rock ledge is not part of your electrical assembly, it is technically in the way of working space. I have had to build a pad to the height of the obstruction, the width and depth of required working space, in that situation before. Once.
But, I have also done many services with a ledge or foundation sticking out where the inspector didn't say anything.

I'd go for strut, supporting a rigid mast. With strut, you can make sure your lags go into solid framing, and you can deal with the uneven nature of the stucco. Heck, if you have a multi-master, you can even recess the strut into the stucco.
The strut will also 'disappear' when they replace the stucco.
Second choice is a very large piece of very thick, very weatherproofed plywood. If you can't be sure of hitting framing, you can use 1/4" toggle bolts. Even so, considering the uneven nature of stucco, you'd be well advised to either stand the plywood off the wall 1/4", or to cut out the stucco and inset the sheet. A little stucco can be used to cover the board and make it blend with the house.
In either event, that dryer vent has got to go.

Looks like a total restart. Rip everything out and start all over. Get cash in advance and everything in a contract on paper.

i would use a mast that goes through the roof, and strap everything to the wall where the current meter base is. I cant believe a supply utility would even connect that to the grid!

Do they need the new service for the "growing" operation? HA... Ive seen worse though, but none have wanted a service upgrade. I'd go for the rigid up through the eaves...

Drive some strut in the ground and don't attach anything to the structure. Build it like a rack and wash your hands of this crack induced nightmare.

A small nuke should address any issues.

I have told many clients, "There is nothing I can do but remove everything and start over."
