Article I. Subdivisions
15.32.010 Purpose and intent of provisions.
It is the purpose and intent of this article to require the undergrounding of all future distribution and transmission utility installations and all presently existing distribution and transmission installations located within or adjacent to new subdivisions in the City, whether such subdivision has been created by a subdivision map or a parcel map, except in those circumstances where such undergrounding would be infeasible or impractical as set forth herein. It is the intent of the City Council to require that, henceforth, all new subdivisions shall be required to provide for:
A. The undergrounding of distribution facilities from the power source selected by the utility company, even though such power source may be a substantial distance from the boundaries of the proposed subdivision or the distribution lines are located on common poles with transmission lines; and
B. The undergrounding of independently supported transmission facilities carrying 69,000 volts or less, in the same manner as for distribution facilities. (Ord. 1781 § 1, 1978; Ord. 1483 §§ 1, 3, 1973; Ord. 1128 § 1, 1968; prior code § 34.101).
