NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits, meet at the Council Chambers, located at 150 City Park Way, in Brentwood, on September 26, 2023, and hold a public hearing to consider:
The call for review of the Planning Commission’s approval of an application for a tentative parcel map to subdivide a 5.29-acre parcel (MS 354-22) and a design review (DR 22-011) for a new sit-down restaurant known as Lazy Dog, with related site improvements, located on the south side of Sand Creek Road and the east side of State Route 4 (APN 019-110-074 and a portion of CCWD owned parcel APN 019- 110-023).
On December 12, 2017, the City Council adopted a City initiated Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (SCH# 2017102022) prepared for the subject site. The Initial Study (IS) for the MND contemplated buildout of the site based on the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR), 0.45, as provided in Table 2.0.2 of the City of Brentwood General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Based on the size of the project site and the maximum FAR, the site could be developed with a maximum of 103,890 square feet of commercial space and a maximum of 520 parking spaces. The proposed project would develop the site with 171 parking spaces and 10,597 square feet of gross commercial space on a 2.78-acre lot, which equals to an FAR of 0.09.
The proposed subdivision and development falls below the maximum capacity that was contemplated and therefore no further environmental review would be required.
