6.3.B. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er March 25, 2013 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service — 611 Glenloch Way, in unincorporated San Mateo County, CA RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution, approving a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for extension of water services outside jurisdictional boundaries to 611 Glenloch Way, in unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND The property owner of 611 Glenloch Way (APN 068-021-290) 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 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. 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 8-inch water main that currently exists along the frontage of 611 Glenloch Way. ANALYSIS The extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries occurs a couple of times a year for single home projects such as this request. 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 611 Glenloch 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 611 Glenloch Way is subject to the following conditions and fees: 1. LAFCo approval of the application for the proposed water service connection; 2. Property owner's payment of LAFCo fees;
