Encinitas City Undergrounding Workshops

if you design in Encinitas you need to attend these workshops!

The City of Encinitas

Would like to inform you with this:

NEWSLETTER & NOTICE OF WORKSHOPS

Regarding a discussion about undergrounding of utilities

Encinitas Municipal Code Section 23.36.120: Undergrounding of Existing Utility Facilities defines when undergrounding of overhead electrical, telephone, and cable are required as a condition of new development.

The purpose of the workshops is to achieve the City of Encinitas policy and goals on undergrounding of utilities. The workshops will include residents, property owners, engineering and architectural professionals, utility representatives and city staff.

The goals of the workshops are to review project implementation of the existing code and identify areas of possible concern regarding equity, cost of implementation, visual impacts, and best practice alternatives. The workshops will provide an opportunity for information sharing and dialogue between interested parties and city staff that may result in suggestions and or alternatives to improve the ability to accomplish the city’s policy and goals relating to undergrounding of utilities.

All workshops will be facilitated and designed for maximum information sharing and idea generation.
