Section 21658 Of Article 2.7. Regulation Of Obstructions From California Public Utilities Code >> Division 9. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 2.7.
21658
. No public utility shall construct any pole, pole line,
distribution or transmission tower, or tower line, or substation
structure in the vicinity of the exterior boundary of an aircraft
landing area of any airport open to public use, in a location with
respect to the airport and at a height so as to constitute an
obstruction to air navigation, as an obstruction is defined in
accordance with Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, Federal
Aviation Administration, or any corresponding rules or regulations of
the Federal Aviation Administration, unless the Federal Aviation
Administration has determined that the pole, line, tower, or
structure does not constitute a hazard to air navigation. This
section shall not apply to existing poles, lines, towers, or
structures or to the repair, replacement, or reconstruction thereof
if the original height is not materially exceeded and this section
shall not apply unless just compensation shall have first been paid
to the public utility by the owner of any airport for any property or
property rights which would be taken or damaged hereby.
