RECOMMENDED AaiON:
Adopt Resolution No. 2015-275 continuing the Public Hearing for Underground Utility District
No. 20 Valley Street from Nov. 3, 2015 until Nov. 17, 2015.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On Oct. 6, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-245 setting a Public Hearing for
Underground Utility District No. 20 on Nov. 3, 2015. While timely notice was published in the Union
Tribune, the mailed notice to affected property owners and utilities was inadvertently omitted. In order
to provide adequate notice to all affected property owners and utilities within the proposed district
boundary, as required by Carlsbad Municipal Code section 11.08.020, the Public Hearing will be
continued until Nov. 17, 2015.
Notice of the re-scheduled Public Hearing was published in the Union Tribune and mailed directly to the
affected property owners and utilities as shown on the last equalized assessment roll and utilities at least
15 days prior to the Public Hearing on Nov. 17, 2015.
The proposed district includes Valley Street between Chestnut Avenue and Magnolia Avenue and a
portion of Magnolia Avenue approximately 500 feet east of Valley Street, as shown on Exhibit 2.
After affected property owners and utilities have had an opportunity to speak at the Public Hearing,
Council may determine that the public health, safety and welfare require the removal of overhead lines
and the installation of underground utilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The preliminary cost estimate for the utility undergrounding of District No. 20 is $500,000. The
undergrounding of the electric facilities will be funded by the city's allocation of 20A funds which are
collected and kept on account by SDG&E. As of March 13, 2015, the balance of 20A funds on account
with SDG&E was $696,144. The other utility companies (Time Warner Cable and AT&T) will underground
their utilities concurrently at their own expense.

Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the
meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require
environmental review. Further, construction of street improvements and the undergrounding of utilities along
Valley Street is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(b) (minor alteration of existing public
structures) and 15302(d) (undergrounding of overhead utility lines).
