Efficient and innovative use of infrastructure and renewable resources Generally, the granting of this additional density can only be made upon the finding of a public benefit to Redwood City and that it meets at least three of the above criteria at each phase of the development. If a future developer wishes to apply for a project greater than 1,930 units, then that future developer would have to amend the Development Agreement and demonstrate that the project also has at least three of the above criteria, with particular emphasis on the affordable housing component. Also there would have to be further environmental review for any revised project. Water and Sewer Supply One of the biggest issues for any new development in Redwood City is the availability and reliability of the City's long-term water supply. The City Council has determined that the City does not currently have sufficient water supply to meet the projected water demands of the proposed MSV Project together with those of its existing customers, as well as the demands of other planned developments. However, as the City implements plans for increased conservation and additional supplies through recycled water there should be sufficient water supply to meet projected future demands. As the Council- approved Water Supply Assessment for MSV (August 26, 2002) points out, Redwood City's supply reliability now and into the future is a key factor in this determination. The City cannot guarantee the supply of water for the MSV project at this time, and the adequacy and reliability of the water supply will need to be evaluated at each phase of the project. State law requires additional written verification (S6221 — 1Nater Verification) that sufficient and reliable water supply be available prior to approval of tentative map(s) for the project. Staff intends to prepare Water Verifications upon receipt of application for each tentative map, and prior to the Council approving a final map for each project phase. The City will enter the full amount of the estimated project water demand into the City of Redwood City's water supply planning process, but the City will retain full discretion in the allocation of water supply. As each phase of the project is submitted for Planned Community Permits and Building Permits, the status of water supply will be reviewed and the adequacy of the water supply to serve the new demand will be determined. The developer (as would any other applicant) will have to pay applicable water connection/impact fees at the time of issuance of building permits for each phase. The project will also have to provide on-site water and sewer improvements, design all landscaping and irrigation to utilize recycled water, and dual-plumb non-residential buildings for toilet-flushing with recycled water. 8
