A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM FORMING UNDERGROUND DISTRICT NO. 70
(WILDFIRE MITIGATION UNDERGROUNDING IN FIRE
THREAT ZONES) AND DETERMINING SAID ACTION IS
EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 15301(b), 15302(c),
15302(d) and 15303 OF TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE
OF REGULATIONS.
WHEREAS, Chapter 17.24 of the Anaheim Municipal Code (Chapter 17.24)
requires the City of Anaheim (Anaheim) to conduct a public hearing for the formation of any
Underground Utility District (as defined in Chapter 17.24); and
WHEREAS, on September 22, 2021, the Anaheim Public Utilities Board ("Public
Utilities Board") held a public hearing to ascertain whether the formation of Underground District
No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones) will further the public health,
safety and welfare by promoting one or more of the purposes set forth in Section 17.24.020; and
WHEREAS, Public Utilities Board determined at the public hearing in compliance
with Chapter 17.24 that the formation of Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation
Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones) will further the public health, safety and welfare by
promoting, among other things, the reliability of electrical and communication services for the
benefit of residential and commercial customers; to reduce outages caused by winds, storms, and
accidents; and improve public safety by removing potential obstacles; and
WHEREAS, notice of the time and place of such hearing was provided by the City
Clerk by mail to all affected property owners as shown on the last equalized assessment roll and
to all affected Utilities (as defined in Chapter 17.24) at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the
hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM AS FOLLOWS:
1. The Anaheim City Council ("City Council") hereby determines that, in
accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines,
the formation of Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat
Zones) is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, 15301(b),
15302(c), 15302(d), and 15303 because the undergrounding facilities will replace existing
overhead facilities with negligible expansion of capacity and the project will include the
installation of small new structures including street lights.
2. Based on the determinations of the Public Utilities Board made at the public
hearing of September 22, 2021, the City Council hereby finds and determines that that the
formation of Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat
Zones), as depicted in Exhibit A, will further the public health, safety and welfare by promoting,
among other things, the reliability of electrical and communication services for the benefit of
residential and commercial customers; the reduction of outages caused by winds, storms, and
accidents; the reduction of wildfire risks and removal of potential obstacles to pedestrian, and
vehicle visibility. Exhibit A is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
3. Based on the determinations of the Public Utilities Board made at the public
hearing of September 22, 2021, the City Council hereby finds and determines that formation of
Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones) will also
eliminate a heavy concentration of Overhead Facilities (as defined in Chapter 17.24) on street and
road right-of-ways extensively used by the general public.
4. Pursuant to Section 17.24.040 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, the City
Council hereby designates the area depicted in Exhibit A to be an Underground Utility District, as
defined in Section 17.24.010 of the Anaheim Municipal Code, to be known as Underground
District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones).
5. The City Council does hereby fix February 28, 2023 as the date on which
affected property owners must be ready to receive underground service in Underground District
70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones), and does hereby order the removal
of Overhead Facilities of any Utilities in this district and the underground conversion of such
Overhead Facilities, including the property owners' service laterals, in accordance with provisions
of Chapter 17.24, on or before April 30, 2024. Any property owners served from such Overhead
Facilities shall accommodate Anaheim's construction and allow Anaheim's access in order to
receive service from the Underground Facilities as soon as it is available. The City Council finds
that the foregoing removal dates are reasonable given the availability of labor, materials and
equipment necessary for such removal and underground installation. The terms Overhead
Facilities and Utilities have the meanings set forth in Chapter 17.24.
6. The City Council hereby determines that this Resolution shall apply to the
Overhead Facilities of any Utility subject to the provisions of Chapter 17.24 and the Electric Rates,
Rules and Regulations, including, but not limited to, the property owners' service laterals, 12,000
& 69,000 Volt electric circuits and associated facilities, street light circuits, communications,
telecommunication lines and associated facilities, telephone lines and associated facilities, cable
television, and the installation of substructures, conduits, and cable lines in the public right-of-way
within Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones).
7. The City Council hereby finds and determines that formation of
Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones) is
consistent with the City of Anaheim's Five Year Underground Conversion Plan adopted by the
City Council on July 20, 2021.
8. The City Council hereby requests that all Utilities with Overhead Facilities
within Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones)
underground their Overhead Facilities, including the property owners' service laterals, in
accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.24 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
9. The Anaheim City Clerk is hereby directed to notify all affected Utilities
and all persons owning real property within Underground District No. 70 (Wildfire Mitigation
Undergrounding in Fire Threat Zones) as provided in Section 17.24.090 of the Anaheim Municipal
Code.
