�. A - .� <br /> State law requires the City to assess the potential impact of new development on existing <br /> and future water supply, consistent with its UWMP. Appendix B lists generic and specific <br /> development proposals that were identified by the Redwood City Community Development <br /> Services Department in 2000/2001 as potential future development applications. As such, <br /> the City's water use forecast must include the "worst-case" build-out and the potential <br /> aggregate impacts on its water supply. Subsequent water supply assessments must . <br /> consider individual development proposals in the context of the long-term, "worst-case" <br /> scenario. <br /> . Appendix B of the UWMP is not a road map for land use decisions: It is a planning tool to <br /> understand the upper limits of the water supply's capacity to include potential new <br /> development over time. As shown in the appendix (see highlighted portions of the table), <br /> in the most extreme case, Redwood City could absorb up to 7,115 new multi-family <br /> dwelling units and not be in a water deficit over the long term. In this regard, it is staff's <br /> conclusion that water supply does not appear to be a future constraint on reasonable <br /> residential (and commercial growth) in Redwood City. <br /> The Urban Water Management Plan will be updated in 2005, concurrent with the City's <br /> General Plan update. <br /> The Council's Utilities Committee has asked staff to make a brief presentation to the City <br /> Council and the Planning Commission at the beginning of the April 4, 2005 meeting, <br /> concerning the city's overall water supply plan. This information is follow-up to the <br /> Council's request at their February 5, 2005 priority-setting session for information on <br /> availability of water to support future housing. <br /> Alternative <br /> No alternative, information only. <br /> Fiscal Impact <br /> None associated with this information follow-up. <br /> / ���' <br /> , <br /> ;� �` � . <br /> Peter Ingram Ed Everett <br /> Djrector, Public Works Services City Manager <br /> Attachment <br /> Urban Water Management Plan 2003 — Appendix B— Water Use Forecast 2000 to 2020 <br />
