6.3.C. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager January 11 , 2016 SUBJECT Two New Water Connections and Services — APN 068-151-180 and APN 068-151-190, in unincorporated San Mateo County, CA RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution authorizing a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for extension of water services outside jurisdictional boundaries to APN 068- 151-180 and APN 068-151-190, in unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. Confirm determination that the Projects are exempt from CEQA. BACKGROUND The property owner of APN 068-151-180 and APN 068-151-190 wishes to construct one new single-family residence on each of the two vacant parcels. The parcels are located in the unincorporated part of San Mateo County, outside of City of Redwood City's jurisdictional boundaries. However, both parcels are within the City's sphere of influence and water service area. The property owner has applied to the County of San Mateo for a building permit to construct the proposed residences. A County project condition of approval requires that the property owner secure two new water connections and services from the City. The City must receive LAFCO approval to provide water services from the 6-inch water main that currently exists along the frontage on Oak Park Way. ANALYSIS The extension of water service outside City's jurisdictional boundaries is not a frequent occurrence. The occasional addition of a residential connection is not anticipated to have any significant impact on the City's total water allotment. Staff recommends that the City request LAFCO's approval to extend water service outside the City's jurisdictional boundaries to APN 068-151-180 and APN 068-151-190 pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. LAFCO requires Council's authorization, by resolution, of requests made for new services. The water service connections proposed for the single family residences at APN 068-151-180 and APN 068-151-190 are subject to the following conditions and fees:
