RES-2017-172RESOLUTION NO. 2017- 172
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM FORMING UNDERGROUND DISTRICT
NO. 65 (SANTA ANA CANYON/ROYAL OAK) AND
DETERMINING SAID ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 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 creation of any
Underground Utility District (as defined in Chapter 17.24); and
WHEREAS, on October 25, 2017, the Anaheim Public Utilities Board ("Public
Utilities Board") held a public hearing to ascertain whether the creation of Underground District
No. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak) will further the public health, safety and welfare by
promoting one or more of the purposes set forth in Section 17.24.020 of Chapter 17.24; and
WHEREAS, Public Utilities Board determined at the public hearing in
compliance with Chapter 17.24 that the creation of Underground District No. 65 (Santa Ana
Canyon/ Royal Oak) 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 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. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak) is exempt from
CEQA pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 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 October 25, 2017, the City Council hereby finds and determines that that the
creation of Underground District No. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak), 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; to reduce outages caused by winds, storms, and accidents; and improve public safety
by removing potential obstacles. 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 October 25, 2017, the City Council hereby finds and determines that creation
of Underground District No. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak) will eliminate a heavy
concentration of Overhead Facilities (as defined in Chapter 17.24), that said street or road right-
of-way is extensively used by the general public and carries a heavy volume of pedestrian or
vehicular traffic, and will improve safety by removing obstructions to pedestrian and vehicular
visibility within Underground District No. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak).
4. Pursuant to Section 17.24.046 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. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak).
5. The City Council does hereby fix May 1, 2019 as the date on which
affected property owners must be ready to receive underground service in Underground District
65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak), 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 May 1, 2019. 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 Utilities 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 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. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak).
7. The City Council hereby finds and determines that creation of
Underground District No. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak) is consistent with the City of
Anaheim's Five Year Underground Conversion Plan adopted by the City Council on July 25,
2017.
8. The City Council hereby requests that all Utilities with Overhead Facilities
within Underground District No. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/ Royal Oak) 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. 65 (Santa Ana Canyon/
Royal Oak) as provided in Section 17.24.090 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim this 5th day of December , 2017 by the following roll call vote:
