<br />Water Supply Assessment for the proposed Peninsula Park Project
<br />
<br />Recommendation
<br />By motion, approve the Water Supply Assessment for the proposed Peninsula Park
<br />Project pursuant to State of California Water Code S 1091 0(g)(1).
<br />
<br />Background
<br />During 2001, the California Legislature enacted two laws - SB 610 (Costa) and SB 221
<br />(Kuehl) - each designed to achieve greater coordination during the land use planning
<br />process between water suppliers and local land use agencies when considering certain
<br />large-scale development projects.
<br />
<br />SB 610 requires preparation of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for any development
<br />whose approval is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and which
<br />meets the definition of "project" in Water Code Section 10912 - Le., residential
<br />development projects of more than 500 dwelling units or other types of developments (e~g.,
<br />hotels and motels, commercial buildings, industrial parks, etc.) using a comparable amount
<br />of water. The Peninsula Park Project is proposing 796 residential condominium units
<br />(along with other uses described below) and, thus, meets the requirement for preparation
<br />of a WSA.
<br />
<br />The WSA must describe the proposed project's water demand over a 20-year period,
<br />identify the sources of water available to meet that demand, and include an assessment of
<br />whether or not those water supplies are, or will be, sufficient to meet the demand for water
<br />associated with the proposed project, in addition to the demand of existing customers and
<br />other planned.future development.
<br />
<br />If the conclusion is that water supplies are or will be insufficient, then the WSA is to
<br />describe plans (if any) for acquiring additional water supplies, and the measures that are
<br />being undertaken to acquire and develop those supplies.
<br />
<br />The Redwood City Public Works Services Department received a request from the
<br />Community Development Services Department to produce a WSA for the proposed
<br />Peninsula Park Project, located in Redwood City, at Bair Island Road/Ucelli Boulevard,
<br />east of State Highway 101, and north of the eastern terminus of Whipple Avenue. The 33-
<br />acre site currently houses an impound car storage lot, several parking lots, five partially
<br />occupied office buildings, a restaurant, other storage uses, and a marina basin which
<br />ceased operations in 2001. The project as proposed would consist of 796 residential
<br />condominium units, 7,500 square feet of convenience retail and restaurant space, a 200-
