SUBJECT: 4.11(a)--A�uthorize Acquisitions of a Public Service Easement
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following:
(1) Approve the acquisition of Public Services Easements at 901 North Market Street
(Assessor's Parcel Number 112-300-004) at no cost to the City of Redding;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute all legal documents necessary to complete the
acguisitions; 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 (City) General Fund or Redding Electric Utility(REU) Operating Fund.
AZteNnative 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
D�velopment of the Caldwell Bike Park is necessitating the undergrounding of an existing
overhead primary distribution electrie line (primary line) for safety purposes. This will require
the removal of the overhead primary line and underground relocation across the adjacent parcel
at 901 North Market Street (Parcel). This wi11 require a new Public Service Easement (PSE)
across the Parcel for maintenance purposes. Staff has negotiated the acquisition of the easement
at no eost to the City. The owner of the Parcel agrees that the visual benefit gained by removal of
the overhead electric lines and the increased safety associated with reduced fire risk is sufficient
exchange for granting the easement.

Environmental Review
Staff has determined this action to be categorically exempt from environmental review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, 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 infrastructure as well as future infrastructure 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.
