1. The City of East Palo Alto is considering many new development projects in the upcoming years. However, for a number of these potential projects, the existing sewer system has insufficient capacity and would have to be expanded and updated for these projects to be built. The East Palo Also Sanitary District (District) —a separate government agency from the City-manages the City's sewer system and would have to increase sewer charges on local properties across the City to pay for these improvements. The projects in need of sewer system improvements are listed below and consistent with the City's General Plan 2035 (details can be found on the City's website: https://www.ci.east-palo-alto.ca.us/econdev/page/general-plan-2035-east- palo-alto).
