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 October 8, 2024, and hold a public hearing to consider:
Adoption of an ordinance approving a zoning text amendment (RZ 24-007) which would amend Brentwood Municipal Code
Section 17.800.009(A)(2) to increase the notification radius for public hearing items from 300-feet to 1,000-feet.
The amendment is not a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because there is no potential that the ordinance will result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because it would only establish and clarify administrative processes and would not facilitate new
construction or other groundbreaking activities. Further, even if it was considered a project, it is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance will result in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the
environment.
The Planning Commission considered the zoning text
amendment on September 17, 2024 and adopted Resolution No. 24-040 recommending that the City Council approve it. The City Council will take final action.
Applicant: City of Brentwood
