Advice Letter 88
On March 20, 2000, Valencia filed AL 88 seeking authority to expand its service area "to include North Valencia Annexation - 2 which includes Tracts 44831, 52667 and 52111 and Mountain View Tracts 46564, 46564-04, 46564-05 and 52302." Valencia requests that the existing service area boundaries be moved to include all of the above tracts. The addition would comprise 1,735 dwelling units located on 485 acres. Valencia states that these tracts have approval from Los Angeles County. While AL 88 and the WMP have not been formally consolidated, and remain separate filings, they are related, and AL 88 is dependent upon the WMP. 6 As described above, the Commission's stated intent is that approval of advice letters such as AL 88 can only occur after Commission approval of Valencia's WMP. Staff will not proceed with the less formal advice letter process while the formal proceeding addressing the WMP remains unresolved.
6 Sierra Club raised the issue of AL 88 in its reply brief. While Valencia filed the advice letter, and presumably knew in advance that it intended to file the advice letter, Valencia did not have an express opportunity to address this issue.
