18. CEQA Memo Responding to the Fox Rothschild Letter.pdf Title/Recommendation
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the project by adopting three separate resolutions: one adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project (SCH#20231003390); one approving a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (VTSM 9597) for the subdivision of a 16.32-acre parcel into 37 single-family residential lots; and one approving a Design Review application (DR 22-005), subject to certain findings and conditions.
The Planning Commission’s recommendation includes approval of a subdivision map to create 37 single-family residential lots, including two sets of duets, a public park, a new private internal roadway system, and other related on-site and off-site improvements. The project qualifies for a density bonus pursuant to the ), but the project will not exceed the density allowed by the General Plan. Rather, the project will utilize waivers/reductions from certain City standards, as allowed by the SDBL. The project also includes a design review application (DR 22-005) for the homes to be constructed on the lots. The project is located at 7590/7650 Lone Tree Way, just east of O’Hara Avenue (APN 018-060-006 and -007). https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=65915&lawCode=GOV As noted below, the project that the Planning Commission recommended approving is slightly modified from what the applicant proposed. The applicant subsequently suggested further modifications to the project for the City Council’s consideration.
The City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., and as further governed by the State CEQA Guidelines, found at 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq.). Several potentially significant impacts are identified; however, mitigation measures are incorporated to reduce those impacts to less than significant levels. All mitigation measures not addressed by the standard conditions of approval are included as individual conditions of approval where appropriate. The MND analysis covers all iterations of the project discussed in this report.
H.2
Amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code to reflect changes in fire agencies and clarify responsible parties relating to fire emergencies.

2. CC Ordinance_ Fire Agencies First Reading.pdf
3. Planning Commission Staff Report.pdf
4. PC Resolution No. 24-017.pdf
Title/Recommendation
Introduce and waive first reading of an Ordinance authorizing text amendments relating to fire services from any applicable sections of the current municipal code These text amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
