6.3. B. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er May 21, 2012 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service — 930 Far Creek 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 930 Far Creek Way, in unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND The property at 930 Far Creek Way (APN 068-194-220) is developed with an existing single family home. The parcel is located outside Redwood City's jurisdictional boundaries, but is within the city's sphere of influence and water service area. It is currently serviced by a single connection to the city's water system. The owner of the parcel has applied to the County of San Mateo for approval to subdivide the lot and create a new parcel. The owner of the lot would like to construct a new single family residence on the newly created vacant parcel. 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 services the existing home at 930 Far Creek Way. San Mateo County Planning Division sent submittal drawings of the proposed subdivision to the City's Community Development Department for review and comment. City staff provided comments and stated conditions of service on March 16, 2012. Service extension includes the installation of a new fire hydrant on the private property near the proposed residence, as directed by the Woodside Fire Department. ANALYSIS The 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 jurisdictional boundaries to Parcel B of the original lot commonly referred to as 930 Far Creek 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 Parcel B of the original lot commonly referred to as 930 Far Creek Way is subject to the following conditions and fees:
