Airport Village water supply adequacy
Summary
A 1,464-unit housing project outside town limits would be the largest water user in the airport area. Staff found the town's 900 acre-foot outside-service allocation can cover it with 145 acre-feet to spare. The town isn't the land use authority — Sonoma County is.

Impact analysis
No direct town cost — the assessment was done by town staff and the project itself is county-approved.
Future affordable housing residents gain water service; other water users benefit from the developer's pledge to extend the recycled water line.
