October 20, 2026
Action Item: Residences at Palm §152.030 Relief Request

§ 152.030 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(A) The developer shall place underground all existing overhead utility lines, including
but not limited to telephone, cable television, and electric power, except electrical lines
exceeding 13 kV capacity, either within a proposed development or redevelopment
project or within public rights-of-way or easements adjacent to the project, prior to
issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Pursuant to § 152.030(E), relief from the undergrounding requirement may be
considered by the City Council under specific circumstances. The subject request is based
on the following considerations:
• The project involves a limited utility frontage of approximately 106 feet, which is
relatively small in scale and does not justify full undergrounding at this time.
• Undergrounding the existing overhead utilities would result in an unusual
economic hardship, as the cost is disproportionate to the size and scope of the
proposed development.
• The site represents an infill/minor modification to an already developed area,
where adjacent properties on both sides remain served by overhead utilities.
