A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING
CERTIFYING AS ADEQUATE EIR 2-86 WHICH ADDRESSES THE IMPACTS
OF THE WEST LOOP 115/12 KV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT , AND
AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF EASEMENTS AND SUBSTATIONS
ALONG PREFERRED ROUTE 1A.
WHEREAS , two public hearings were held before the Planning
Commission to consider EIR 2-86 ; and
WHEREAS , the Redding Planning Commission has recommended
certification of EIR 2-86 to the City Council as adequately
addressing the impacts of the West Loop 115/12 kV Transmission
Line Project; and
WHEREAS , the City Council has reviewed EIR 2-86 ;
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Redding finds that EIR 2-86 adequately addresses the
environmental impacts of the West Loop 115/12 kV Transmission
Line Project , and authorizes the City Manager to direct staff to
proceed with acquiring easements and substation sites along the
preferred Route lA as may be required to allow construction of
the West Loop 115/12 kV Transmission Line Project .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that it
is in the public interest to not build the 115/12 kV Transmission
Line underground due to it being approximately 15 times more
costly to construct such a line underground as opposed to
overhead. It is specifically found that there are no feasible
Qi
O .
mitigation measures to address the aesthetic concerns illuminated
in the EIR.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing Resolution was
introduced and read at a regular meeting of the City Council of
the City of Redding on the 15th day of December , 1987 , and was
duly adopted at said meeting by the following vote :
