Stockton , CA 95205 Via e -mail only : Alissa . goulart@sjgov . org Re : Re - Referral for Application Numbers PA - 2000217 , PA - 220021 , PA- 2000218 , PA- 2200070 , Redeeming Way Subdivision Dear Ms . Goulart , We are writing on behalf of the Woodbridge Sanitary District (District) to provide comments on the re-referral of the above project . The District received a copy of the San Joaquin County Community Development Department ' s Application Re-Referral and Public Hearing notice dated October 27 , 2023 regarding the above - referenced project (Project) . This comment letter is being submitted consistent with the comment letter submitted in March 2023 for the initial Project referral . The applicant approached the District in 2021 to request sanitary sewer service to the Project and requested a " Will Serve " . The District issued the attached conditional Will Serve letter to the applicant noting that the Project is outside of the District and outside of the District ' s Sphere of Influence ( SOI) and therefore an amendment of the SOI and annexation into the District, subject to approval by the San Joaquin Local Area Formation Commission ( SJ LAFCo) , would be necessary . The District believes that capacity in the District ' s facilities exists to serve the Project , however completion of a Municipal Service Review and Plan for Service will be necessary to identify what, if any , specific improvements to the District ' s system will be necessary to provide sewer service to the area to be annexed into the District . With respect to the Community Development Department ' s request for comments to the Project applications and hearing, we offer the following : 1 . As noted in the Application Referral Project Description PA - 2000218 , the Project applicant has requested sanitary sewer service from the District and has received the enclosed conditional Will Serve letter and the District believes that there is capacity to serve the project, with the potential for limited improvements to the District ' s systems needed to extend that service to the Project . 2 . Since the Project area is located outside of the District boundary and SOI , we understand from consultation with SJ LAFCo that and amendment of the District ' s SOI would be necessary and following such amendment that annexation of the project area into the District would be required for the District to provide sanitary sewer service . Therefore , we recommend that project CEQA document and CEQA Project Description be coordinated with SJ LAFCo and the District regarding discretionary actions by both of these entities in considering the SOI amendment and annexation . We noted that under the General Considerations of the 12/23 /2022 Initial Study that the General Considerations Question No . 2 indicates that the project will not require approval or permits by agencies other than the County , however also indicates a Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) agency name . We understand that in order for the Project to receive sanitary sewer service from the Woodbridge Sanitary District that approval by LAFCo of a Sphere of Influent Amendment and Annexation to the Woodbridge Sanitary Corporate Office : 711 N Pershing Avenue Stockton , CA 95203 209- 946-0268 www .ksninc .com West Sacramento : 1550 Harbor Boulevard , Suite 212 1 West Sacramento , CA 95691 1916 - 403- 5900
