A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL
CITY, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING AN IN LIEU FEE FOR
UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES, PURSUANT TO SECTION 8.30.100 OF
THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Cathedral City has an ordinance and master plan that
require undergrounding of utility lines through Chapter 8.30 of the City of Cathedral City
Municipal Code ("CCMC"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously recognized specific exemptions to this
general rule and as the City has developed has recognized instances in which the general
rule is impracticable or may unduly constrain desired residential development on certain
infill lots; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the aforementioned impracticality, the City Council of
Cathedral City, by Ordinance No. 850, has created an in lieu fee program for infill lots in
CCMC section 8.30.100.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cathedral City is authorized by section
8.30.100 of the Cathedral City Municipal Code to establish a fee paid in lieu of actual
underground installation of overhead utilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the City Engineer's best estimate of the
cost to underground utility lines per linear foot is $556.00 if the City were to undertake the
project and that the fee imposed is both less than that cost and is therefore equal to or
less than the cost of the City providing the service.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY,
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS
