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. DocuSign Envelope ID: 542062BB-7B49-4E6E-8C0C-3AFEE6E164FD 2. The WSA concludes that, through implementation of the City’s Development Offset Program, the project will not affect water supply reliability within the City beyond what has been projected, assuming actual water demands are within the projected water demands as calculated in the WSA. In addition, 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 dry 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.
