6.3.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er March 5, 2012 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service — 698 Edgecliff Way, in unincorporated San Mateo County, CA. RECOMMENDATION Approve, by resolution, a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries to 698 Edgecliff Way, in unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND The property owner of 698 Edgecliff Way (APN 068-194-260) wishes to construct a new single family residence on the vacant parcel. 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. The owner of the parcel has applied to the County of San Mateo for a building permit to construct the proposed residence and, 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. The city must receive LAFCO approval to provide water service from the 6-inch water main that currently exists along the frontage of 698 Edgecliff Way. 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. Staff recommends that the city request LAFCO's approval to extend water service outside the City's jurisdictional boundaries to 698 Edgecliff Way pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. LAFCO requires Council's authorization, by resolution, of requests made for new services. The water service connection proposed for the single family residence at 698 Edgecliff Way is subject to the following conditions and fees: 1. LAFCO shall have approved the application for the proposed water service connection; 2. Property owner shall pay the city's water service annexation fees when request is made for service; 3. Property owner shall pay LAFCO fees;
