REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager May 7, 2018 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service – Proposed single family residence at 607 Handley Trail (APN 057-113-110), in unincorporated San Mateo County, CA RECOMMENDATION Approve, by resolution, a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for extension of water services outside jurisdictional boundaries to the proposed Parcel 2 at 607 Handley Trail (APN 057-113-110), in unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133, and find that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 BACKGROUND The property located at 607 Handley Trail (APN 057-113-110) is developed with an existing single family home on Parcel 1. The owner of the lot has applied to the County of San Mateo for approval to subdivide the original lot creating two parcels: Parcel 1 and Parcel 2. The owner has also applied to construct a new single-family home on the proposed Parcel 2. The City is currently providing water service to the existing single- family home in Parcel 1. As a condition of approval, the County requires the property owner to secure a new water connection and service from the City of Redwood City for the proposed residence. The City must receive LAFCO approval to provide water service from the 6-inch water main that currently exists along the frontage 607 Handley Trail. The parcel is located in the unincorporated part of San Mateo County, outside of Redwood City’s jurisdictional boundaries, but is within the City’s sphere of influence and water service area. ANALYSIS The extension of water service outside 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. LAFCO requires the City Council’s authorization of requests made for new services. Staff recommends that the City request LAFCO’s approval to extend water service 6.3.A. - Page 1
