(h)Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, if a project has been the subject of a water supply assessment that complies with the requirements of this part, no additional water supply assessment shall be required for subsequent projects that were part of a larger project for which a water supply assessment was completed and that has complied with the requirements of this part and for which the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), has concluded that its water supplies are sufficient to meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the existing and planned future uses, including, but not limited to, agricultural and industrial uses, unless one or more of the following changes occurs: (1) Changes in the project that result in a substantial increase in water demand for the project. (2) Changes in the circumstances or conditions substantially affecting the ability of the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), to provide a sufficient supply of water for the project.

As indicated above, River Islands Phase 1 was the subject of a previous WSA developed in 2002. In 2003, the City approved a number of entitlements for the overall River Islands at Lathrop project, including amendments to the General Plan, West Lathrop Specific Plan, a Vesting Tentative Map for Phase 1, an Amended and Restated Development Agreement and certified a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report(SEIR).The approved overall River Islands project includes a mix of residential, commercial, office, recreational, educational, and open space uses. The overall project,first approved in 2003, has been updated and amended for Phase 1 development in particular, in 2005, 2007, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018. These amendments to the original approval were covered by an addendum under CEQA which did not trigger an update to the original WSA. Phase 2 requires an EIR, and project approvals include a new vesting tentative map which necessitates this WSA. River Islands Phase 2 Project is the subject of this WSA. In accordance with SB 610 and SB 221, this assessment evaluates the City's planned future water demand in light of the anticipated increase in projected demand from the proposed Phase 2 development,the City's projected water supply,and a determination of the sufficiency of City water Califia(0011533.00) 8 Woodard&Curran, Inc.
