Mitigation Measure L1 a: The Project shall obtain non-potable water supply from the City's proposed recycled water program. Assuming the program is implemented by the City, the Project applicant sltt:1/1 contribute its fair share to the cost of implementation of the recycled water program. Mitigation Measure L.1 b: The Project shall implement Redwood City's Water Conservation Guidelines for Landscaping, which set forth regulations regarding plant selection, turf selection and limitation, soil conditioning and mulching, decorative uses of water, and irrigation. Mitigation Measure L1 c: The Project shall implement the following measures as described in the California Urban Water Conservation Council's Best Management Practices ("BMP's"): . All new water connections shall be billed by volume of use (BMP 4). . The Project shall install dedicated irrigation meters and efficient irrigation equipment, provide climate-appropriate landscaping, and participate in a landscape survey (BMP 5). . The Project shall install the latest water conservation technology (including water-efficient toilets), participate in available water surveys, and comply with applicable plumbing codes (BMP 9). . The Project shall ensure the prohibition of gutter flooding, single pass cooling systems, and non-recycling decorative water fountains (BMP 13). Mitigation Measure Lid: The Project sponsor shall retain an independent civil engineering or water specialist to monitor actual water consumption subsequent to buildout of each of the Project's three phases. Water consumption data shall be submitted to the Redwood City Engineering and Construction Services Department to ensure that the estimated water demand is consistent with actual water use. Finding Li: The uncertainty in the supply of water means this impact may remain significant and unavoidable. The provision of recycled water may be infeasible for technical (the building of the plant and distribution system) and/or economic (the financing of the physical facilities) reasons. Furthermore, the distribution of water, especially in drought conditions, is within the jurisdiction of another agency - - the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Overriding Consideration L.1: The environmental, economic, social and other benefits of the Project override the significant impact described above, as more fully stated in the Statement of Overriding Considerations in Section 2 of the Resolution. 4 U:\ProjectslAbbott Labs\Planning Commission - EIR and Entitiements\Statement of Overriding ConsiderationslAbbott - Statement of Overriding Considertions.doc
