A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE WATER SUPPLY ASSESSMENT FOR
1669/1699 BAYSHORE HIGHWAY AND 810/821 MALCOLM ROAD
The City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Burlingame (the “City”) resolves as follows:
WHEREAS, California Water Code Sections 10910 through 10915 requires the
preparation of a Water Supply Assessment for any development whose approval is subject to the
California Environmental Quality Act and which meets the definition of a “project” as defined by
Water Code section 10912(a); and
WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 10912(a)(3) defines a project as “a proposed
commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000
square feet of floor space”; and
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame has received an application for a project at 1669/1699
Bayshore Highway and 810/821 Malcolm Road which proposes to construct one 6-story building
and one 7-story office and research and development building with 475,790 gross square feet of
office space; and
WHEREAS, the City of Burlingame has prepared a Water Supply Assessment in
accordance with California Water Code. The purpose of the Water Supply Assessment is to
determine if the City’s total projected water supplies available during normal, single-dry, and
multiple-dry water years during a 20-year projection are sufficient to meet the water demand
associated with the proposed project, in addition to the demand of existing and planned future
development; and
WHEREAS, California Water Code Section 10910(g) requires the governing body of each
public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this act pursuant to
subdivision (b), shall approve the Water Supply Assessment at a regular or special meeting.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
RESOLVES AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Approve the Water Supply Assessment, attached hereto as Exhibit A, which has been
completed in compliance with Water Code Sections 10910 through 10915.
2. The Water Supply Assessment concludes that because the proposed project was included
in the City’s 2020 UWMP and the City’s 2022 water demand projections update, it will not
affect water supply reliability within the City’s service area beyond what has been
projected. Based on currently available information, the City expects to be able to meet all
future demands within its service area inclusive of the proposed project in normal

hydrologic years. The shortfalls that are currently projected during dry years will be
addressed through implementation of the City’s 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
In addition, as described herein and in the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan,
the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency and the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission are pursuing the development of additional water supplies to improve
the Regional Water System and local supply reliability, which is anticipated to minimize
potential impacts during multiple drought years conditions.
3. Forward the recommended water conservation measures identified and described in the
Water Supply Assessment for consideration in the environmental review for the Project.
