REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager June 11, 2018 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service – 752 Hillcrest Way (APN 068-071-470), 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 at 752 Hillcrest Way (APN 068-071-470), 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 at 752 Hillcrest Way is located on APN 068-071-470, which was created in 1989 by merging APN 068-071-070 and APN 068-071-080. The owner has applied to the County of San Mateo to develop the vacant lot and construct a new single family home on the parcel. The City is not currently providing water service to the parcel. 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 to the Property. The existing water main that runs along the frontage of the Property is 4-inches in diameter. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 38.26, the applicant must upgrade the water main to a minimum of 8-inches extended from the nearest 6-inch diameter or greater main. 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. 6.3.C. - Page 1
