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. Report to Redding City Council Apri114, 2026 Re: 4.11(a)--Authorize Acquisition of a Public Service Easement Page 2 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.
