SUBJECT: 4.11(c)--A�uthorize Acquisitions of Public Service Easements
Recommendation
Authorize the following:
(1) Approve the acquisition of Public Services Easements at 200 Lake Boulevard(Assessor's
Parcel N�umber (APN) 113-330-009) and 2210 Blue Oak Drive (APN 203-220-007) at no
cost to the City of Redding;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute all legal documents necessary to complete the
acquisitions; and
(3) Find this action to be categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15305 — Minor
Alterations to Land Use Limitations.
Fiscal Impact
There is no cost for the acquisitions, therefore these acquisitions will not have a fiscal impact on
the City of Redding's General Fund or Redding Electric Utility(REU) Operating Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose to not authorize the acquisition of the easements. This
would require staff to find less optimal locations.
Background/Analysis
In order to increase reliability of delivering electric service in certain areas, the City of Redding
Electric Utility (REL� is upgrading facilities and is requiring easements across the following
properties:
Report to Redding City Council August26,2025
Re: 4.11(c)--Authorize Acquisitions of Public Service Easements Page 2
Address Assessor Parcel Number Easement Area
200 Lake Boulevard ll3-330-009 2150 S uare Feet
2210 Blue Oak Drive 203-220-007 5154 S uare Feet
Staff has negotiated the acquisition of the easements at no cost to the City of Redding (City). At
200 Lake Boulevard, REU has removed poles and overhead lines and has undergrounded service
lines. The owner agrees that the visual benefit gained by removal of the overhead electric lines as
well as the increased safety associated with reduced fire risk is a sufficient exchange for granting
the easements. At 2210 Blue Oak Drive, REU has extended the lead of an anchor pole at the
dead end of transmission line. The owner has agreed that the increased safety associated with
reduced fire risk in a fire prone area is sufficient exchange.
Envir�onmental Review
Staff has determined this action to be categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) G�uidelines, pursuant to Section 15305 — Minor
Alterations to Land Use Limitations. Class 5 exemptions include minor alterations in land use
limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20 percent, which do not result in any
changes in land use or density. The City is seeking a public service easement to maintain the
existing utility infrastruct�ure as well as future infrastruct�ure at this location. The easement is in
an area with less than 20 percent slope and will not result in changes in land use or density. The
easement area has been reviewed and contains no underlying value for sensitive environmental
resources. This action has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment. In
compliance with CEQA, the City will conduct a separate environmental review for future
infrastructure improvements at this location.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
