4.2 PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
TJKM developed estimated project trip generation for the proposed project based on published trip generation rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th edition publication. TJKM used published trip rates for the ITE Land Use Code 210 (Single-Family Detached Housing). The proposed project is expected to generate 594 total daily trips, including 44 a.m. peak hour trips (11 in, 33 out) and 59 p.m. peak hour trips (37 in, 22 out).

Table 7 shows the trips expected to be generated by the proposed project.

4.3 PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
Trip distribution is a process that determines in what proportion vehicles would be expected to travel between the project site and various destinations outside the project study area. Assignment determines the various routes that vehicles would take from the project site to each destination using the calculated trip distribution. Trip distribution assumptions for the proposed development project were developed based on the existing travel patterns and TJKM’s knowledge of the study area. The distribution assumptions for the proposed project are as follows:
 60 percent to/from the west of Sand Creek Rd at Fairview Ave,  15 percent to/from the east of Sand Creek Rd at Fairview Ave,  5 percent to/from the south of Fairway Ave at Sand Creek Rd, and  20 percent to/from the north of Fairway Ave at Apricot Way.

Figure 8 and Figure 9 illustrate the trip distribution and trip assignment at the study intersections.

The project trips were then added to traffic volumes under Existing Conditions to generate Existing plus Project Conditions traffic volumes.

4.4 INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS – EXISTING PLUS PROJECT CONDITIONS The intersection LOS analysis results for Existing plus Project Conditions are summarized in Table 8. The results for the Existing Conditions scenario are included for comparison purpose.

Under this scenario, both study intersections would continue to operate within applicable jurisdictional (LOS D or better) standards during both peak hours.

The proposed development would have a less-than-significant impact on the surrounding road network under Existing plus Project Conditions.

Figure 10 shows projected turning movement volumes at all the study intersections for Existing plus Project Conditions. LOS worksheets are provided in Appendix C.

Notes:

1. Signal = Signalized; OWSC = One-Way Stop Control; TWSC = Two-Way Stop Control; AWSC = All-Way Stop Control; Future Intersection = not in analysis scenario

2. a.m. = a.m. Peak Hour; p.m. = p.m. Peak Hour

3. Delay measured in seconds per vehicle. For signalized and all-way stop controlled intersections, the delay represents the average control delay for all turning movements. For one- and two-way stop controlled intersections, the delay represents the worse average control delay for a given approach.

4. LOS = Level of Service

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 14
Meeting Date: March 10, 2009
Subject/Title: A City-initiated General Plan amendment (GPA 09-02) to amend the Growth Management Element of the City’s General Plan to incorporate the adopted Urban Limit Line (ULL) and related references to Measure J within this element in compliance with the terms of Measure J.

Prepared by: Heidi Kline, Planning Manager
Submitted by: Casey McCann, Community Development Director

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a City-initiated General Plan amendment (GPA 09-02) to amend the Growth Management Element of the City’s General Plan to incorporate the adopted Urban Limit Line (ULL) and related references to Measure J within this element in compliance with the terms of Measure J.

BACKGROUND
In November 2004, voters in Contra Costa County extended the Measure C sales tax until 2034 through the passage of Measure J. On January 8, 2008, the City Council approved adoption of the County-approved Urban Limit Line (ULL) in compliance with the provisions of Measure J. In order for the City to be in compliance with the statutory requirements of Measure J by the deadline of April 1, 2009, the City’s Growth Management Element of its General Plan must be amended to include a reference to the adopted ULL. This is a requirement of all cities in Contra Costa County.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following text is proposed for insertion within the Growth Management Element of the City’s General Plan and a new Action Program 3.1.9 added referencing adherence of development within the City to the adopted Urban Limit Line (ULL). The purpose of including reference to the previously-adopted ULL is for compliance with Measure J which is required for the City to receive certain transportation revenue collected from the sales tax authorized by Measure J. “In November 2004, voters in Contra Costa County extended the Measure C sales tax until 2034 through the passage of Measure J. While this new measure retains many of the components of the Measure C GMP, there are some changes, most notably the requirement for the adoption of an Urban Limit Line (ULL) for each jurisdiction.

Page 341 of 573 ends

2 the provisions of Measure J. As with Measure C, compliance with Measure J requires the City continue to participate in the regional fee program (ECCRFFA & ECFA) and collect regional fees for improvements to regional routes (SR 4 ByPass and SR 4). Action program 3.1.9 would ensure that all new development occurs within the City’s adopted ULL.” Added: Action Program 3.1.9 Urban Limit Line (ULL): Ensure that all new development shall occur within the City’s adopted Urban Limit Line.

Additionally, replaced “basic routes” with “non-regional routes” throughout the text. The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) is trying to discontinue use of the term “basic” routes, since it is a non-standard and confusing term.

DISCUSSION
The proposed General Plan amendment is a fairly straightforward item in that it incorporates the previously-adopted ULL into the City’s Growth management Element. This amendment is merely a technical clean-up item done to ensure that the City is in compliance with all the requirements of Measure J by April 1, 2009 and remains eligible for its portion of transportation funding. Brentwood’s share of funding in the past fiscal year was $473,961. The draft revisions to the City’s Growth Management Element have been reviewed by CCTA staff who has determined that it is consistent with the intent of Measure J.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Consideration of this application is determined to be covered by the general rule that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In this case, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)), in that the project is a technical update to incorporate the reference to the previously-adopted ULL into the City’s Growth Management Element of its General Plan. A negative declaration was adopted at the time of approval of the ULL by the City Council in January 2008.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with approval of this General Plan amendment per se.

However, should the amendment not be approved, the City may become ineligible to receive approximately $11,849,025 of Measure J funds over the next 25 years.

2 GROWTH MANAGEMENT ELEMENT

SETTING
Growth management is the use of a wide range of techniques to determine the amount, type, and rate of development desired by the community and to channel that growth into designated areas.

A growth management system is commonly organized into a set of goals, objectives, policies, and performance standards that guide the physical development of a community.

Growth management systems promote a variety of environmental, social, and economic goals, including balancing the service costs and revenues associated with development; protecting environmental and aesthetic qualities; encouraging efficient land, water and energy resources; preserving community identity; and protecting the economic base of the community.

Development pressures continue to increase as Brentwood is considered a high quality, affordable alternative to housing located elsewhere in the Bay Area. While this development pressure is increasing, Brentwood has retained its small town nature, including features such as a stable downtown commercial core and large tracts of undeveloped land surrounding the community.

Nonetheless, development has increased traffic levels and the need for improved facilities and services. For instance, more traffic signalization is now necessary, and additional roadway improvements will soon be needed. Other community facilities, further addressed in the Public Facilities Chapter of this General Plan, also require improvements and expansion.

Brentwood citizens have indicated overall goals for the future of the City, which can be attained through development of a growth management system. These goals include:
• Retaining the small town character of Brentwood;
• Strengthening the downtown as a destination point;
• Providing a higher number of jobs while limiting annual housing growth; and • Providing adequate public facilities and services.

This Growth Management Element is part of the General Plan because the City wants to reach these goals and because Contra Costa County voters approved a 0.5% sales tax increase in November 1988, commonly known as “Measure C,” that includes both Transportation Improvement and Growth Management Programs. The overall goals of the Measure C program are:
• To relieve congestion created by past development through road and transit improvements funded by the proceeds of the sales tax increase.
• To prevent future development decisions resulting in deterioration of public services and acceptable traffic performance standards.

To be eligible for its share of revenue generated under Measure C, the City of Brentwood must commit itself, as matter of public policy, to carrying out the following objectives:

Attachment J - Voter-Approved ULL and Measure J Growth Management Element

Page 346 of 573 ends

3 • Manage congestion by adopting and applying traffic service standards for streets, roads, and Regional Routes.
• Adopt policies for fire protection, police, parks, water, flood control, and sanitary sewer service level standards that will be met as the City grows.

The City of Brentwood continues to demonstrate a commitment to growth management while providing adequate levels of public services. This commitment is demonstrated through adoption of this element, which conforms to Measure C (Contra Costa Transportation Improvement and Growth Management Program) and Proposition 111, a state measure that provides funding to local governments on the basis of compliance with the Congestion Management Program (CMP).

In Contra Costa County, the CMP requirements have been incorporated into the Action Plan for East Contra County. Brentwood is participating in the preparation of the Action Plan for East Contra Costa County, along with the cities of Pittsburg, Antioch, and with Contra Costa County.

The key objective of the Action Plan is to maintain levels of service for roads and other public facilities. Failure to meet established standards could result in a reduced level of funding from Measure C and State sources.

The enactment of a Residential Growth Management Program (RGMP) in July 2001 illustrates the City’s commitment to growth management. The RGMP establishes a residential growth allocation system that ensures that growth is high quality, orderly and efficient, while simultaneously achieving the City’s appropriate share of the regional need for housing.

In November 2004, voters in Contra Costa County extended the Measure C sales tax until 2034 through the passage of Measure J. While this new measure retains many of the components of the Measure C GMP, there are some changes, most notably the requirement for the adoption of an Urban Limit Line (ULL) for each jurisdiction.

At its January 8, 2008 meeting, the City Council adopted the Contra Costa Measure L Voterapproved Urban Limit Line (Resolution 2008-03) as the City of Brentwood’s Urban Limit Line which was approved by the majority of Brentwood voters in November 2006. This Urban Limit Line for Brentwood is hereby incorporated within the City’s Growth Management Element and the configuration is as shown on the City’s General Plan Land Use Map. Any changes to the ULL must be completed in accordance with City Council Resolution 08-03 and consistent with the provisions of Measure J. As with Measure C, compliance with Measure J requires the City continue to participate in the regional fee program (ECCRFFA & ECFA) and collect regional fees for improvements to regional routes (SR 4 ByPass and SR 4). Action program 3.1.9 would ensure that all new development occurs within the City’s adopted ULL.

FORECAST
The City of Brentwood shares Contra Costa County's concern about managing and planning for future growth and development. The City’s intent is to ensure that roadways, parks, police, fire protection, sanitary sewer, water and flood control facilities are provided in an amount and manner that best serves the existing and future residents of the community.

Attachment J - Voter-Approved ULL and Measure J Growth Management Element

Page 347 of 573 ends

4 The City of Brentwood plans to provide for orderly and efficient growth within the Brentwood Planning Area. The City’s planned buildout population is approximately 76,226 people. The City intends to ensure that new developments will be served with adequate public infrastructure and that future services and infrastructure will be provided without placing a burden on existing residents and businesses.

This Growth Management Element establishes performance standards for public facilities and services. Traffic levels of service (LOS) and performance standards for fire protection, police, parks, sanitary facilities, water and flood control are included. By adopting and implementing this element, the City of Brentwood establishes a comprehensive, long-range program to meet the demands for public facilities generated by new development through master plans, capital improvement programs and development mitigation programs.

New growth and development in the City of Brentwood will increase the service and facility requirements within the City as well as those of other public agencies. All land use decisions have an effect on future municipal tax revenues and on the costs of delivering services. As long as Brentwood continues to grow in population and expand its economic base, the City's operating and capital budget will have to respond to an increased demand for services and improvements.

However, the fiscal burden to the City’s operating budget will be offset by increased revenue, primarily in the form of sales and property tax, from new development. Fiscal impact estimates suggest that if the General Plan Update buildout is achieved, the City’s operating budget will experience a surplus. The continued growth of single family housing as the predominant development patterns in the General Plan will have a significant positive impact on property tax revenue to the City. Additionally, the targeted growth in retail space, and therefore in sales tax, will contribute to the positive net outcome of the Plan at buildout. The gains in these two revenue sources will contribute to offsetting the expected cost increases of serving new residents and new employment generating development, resulting in an estimated fiscal surplus for the City. The City also has in place development fees intended to offset the impact to the City’s capital budget. The growth management program will allow the City of Brentwood to manage urban expansion without burdening the community's resources and revenues, and constraining economic development.

21 SUMMARY OF IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISMS
The following summary of implementation measures relate to the last column of the previous table.

1. Annual Budget. The City prepares a budget for a two-year period with an annual review.

The budget provides a comprehensive financial framework for all City activities by specifying how City financial resources will be allocated to meet existing capital and services needs.

2. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Review. This statute prescribes state mandated environmental review process for proposed development. This review process entails an evaluation of how a proposed project will impact the environment. Depending on the extent and magnitude of anticipated impacts, different kinds of environmental studies are prepared to analyze the impact of projects and inform the public and decision-makers about the significance a of development proposal’s impact on the environment. As part of the CEQA review, measures are developed to prevent or minimize adverse environmental impacts resulting from proposed projects. Examples of analyzed topics addressed through the CEQA review process include transportation, public services, and natural resources.

3. Capital Improvement Financing Program. The City prepares a Five-Year Capital Improvement Financing Program which is designed, in part, to ensure that traffic levels of service and other public infrastructure and service standards are met and/or maintained.

4. Capital Improvements Program. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a compilation of the capital improvement planned for construction over the next five years. It includes cost estimates, the phasing of specific improvement and associated costs and methods with which specific improvement will be financed. The City conducts an annual review of the CIP and allocates money for transportation, infrastructure, and public facility improvements based upon available funding and existing priorities. The CIP also provides the basis for planning for funding of civic and community facilities.

5. City Procedures. The City can implement policies by making changes in its internal operating procedures. Examples include updating development application submittal requirements to better achieve the goals and policies set forth in the General Plan.

6. Design Guidelines. Design guidelines are a tool for ensuring that new development is compatible with the surrounding area and that it functions well for the community.

Guidelines convey community design expectations, help provide visual continuity, and ensure high design quality. To the extent possible, the guidelines shall be specific to Brentwood. Guidelines that are quantifiable shall be considered for incorporation into zoning regulations.

7. Development Fees. The City has adopted a development fee program to fund public facilities and infrastructure necessary to meet service standards and protect public health and safety.

Attachment J - Voter-Approved ULL and Measure J Growth Management Element

Page 365 of 573 ends

22 8. Development Regulations. The development regulations, primarily the zoning regulations and subdivision ordinance, provide the standards for development, prescribe allowable uses, contain specific incentive provisions, and include other standards and procedures related to requirements for approval of development projects.

9. Development Review. This is the process used by the City to assess conformance with development regulations, conduct CEQA review, and route development proposals through different City departments and affected public agencies for comments. The review process identifies the impacts of new development on the demand for services, public facilities, and infrastructure and includes the development of project-specific mitigation measures and other mechanisms to help finance needed improvement. Through this process the City assesses the public safety features of the design of proposed development projects. All projects, including public-sponsored projects are reviewed for consistency with the General Plan and other development regulations as early as possible in order to minimize wasted effort on projects deemed not to be in conformance.

10. Economic Development Strategy. The City of Brentwood’s Economic Development Strategy is a plan to attract and retain high quality industry and job generating uses in the City.

11. Fee Credits. The City uses fee credits to compensate developers who construct improvements beyond what is needed to serve their own development. Examples may include road development, extension of utilities, or construction of parks.

12. Fire Service Response Coverage Study. This is a study to determine the location and type of fire service delivery facilities needed to meet planned service objectives.

13. General Plan Bikeways and Trails Map. The General Plan Bikeways and Trails Map indicates the existing and future locations of bikeways and trails in the City of Brentwood.

The map illustrates plans for a complete linked trails system in Brentwood, with linkages to parks and schools. This system will help to create and maintain a walkable environment that is conducive to alternative modes of transportation.

14. General Plan Land Use Map. The General Plan Land Use Map indicates where future development and growth is going to occur as well as the density and intensity of this growth.

This is critical information in terms of planning for circulation systems within the City, since it is necessary to link future circulation needs with Brentwood’s projected future growth patterns.

15. Grant Programs. The city pursues available grant funding opportunities to supplement local revenue and assist with the completion of capital projects, programs or studies. Grant funds are available to cities from federal and state agencies as well as from non-profit organizations and private foundations.

16. Intergovernmental Coordination. The City shall coordinate with adjacent jurisdictions, Contra Costa County, Caltrans, Tri Delta Transit, and other agencies and organizations to Attachment J - Voter-Approved ULL and Measure J Growth Management Element

Page 366 of 573 ends

23 ensure that development occurs in an orderly fashion and that public services and utilities keep pace with future growth and development in Brentwood.

17. Landscape and Lighting District. Landscape and Lighting Districts (LLDs) are a funding mechanism for ongoing maintenance of public amenities. The City uses this mechanism to pay the cost incurred by the City for landscape and street lighting maintenance.

18. Master Infrastructure Plan. The Master Infrastructure Plans identify existing needs and future facility requirements to accommodate growth and coordinate construction of necessary facility improvements.

19. Parks, Trails and Recreation Master Plan. The Parks, Trails and Recreation Master Plan sets a framework for future parks, trails and recreation facilities in the City of Brentwood based on the existing facilities and the projected future need. The Master Plan also helps to create integrated parks, trails, and recreation systems throughout the City.

20. Redevelopment Plan. The City has adopted a redevelopment plan to eliminate blight, upgrade public facilities and utilities, and assist low- and moderate-income households. The redevelopment plan enables the City to generate additional revenue to address existing capital facility and infrastructure needs.

21. Residential Growth Management Program. The Residential Growth Management Program (RGMP) provides for the orderly residential development of the City.

Implementation of this program will result in a better linkage between rates of growth and the provision of infrastructure and services.

22. Sewer Master Plan. Infrastructure master plans evaluate the capacity and limitations of existing facilities and identify new facilities necessary to meet future planned service needs.

The Sewer Master Plan evaluates the City’s existing sewer facilities and wastewater treatment needs. The plan identifies the projected service levels, describes required facility improvements, and discusses funding considerations based on the anticipated growth in the General Plan.

23. Specific Plans. Certain geographic areas need to be planned comprehensively, but in more detail than can be accomplished through the general plan. A specific plan provides an implementation tool that integrates land use, design, transportation, and utilities to produce a comprehensive strategy for development of a defined area.

24 MONITORING AND COORDINATION
An important component in the success of Brentwood's Growth Management Program is to conduct regular evaluations of the effectiveness of the program. Information such as the amount of development that has occurred, the supply of vacant land, the status of current service levels, and programmed improvements to the infrastructure system will need to be reported to decision makers on a regular basis. Only in this way can Brentwood ensure that the goals and policies of the Growth Management Program are being met. Also key in the success of the program is coordinating with other agencies in the region, as many of the issues facing Brentwood are regional in nature.

Following are monitoring and coordination strategies to ensure the success of Growth Management Program.

1. The City shall conduct a regular review to determine the status of compliance with the adopted level of service and performance standards. A report shall be presented to the City Council as part of the capital improvement budget process identifying the current and projected levels of service, taking into account approved development and any mitigation measures required to offset project impacts. This report shall be utilized in the review of the City's five-year capital improvement program.

2. The City shall prepare a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program, which shall be designed, in part, to ensure that traffic levels of service and other public infrastructure and service standards are met and/or maintained.

3. The City shall coordinate developer financing with the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Program to ensure adequate capacity for future growth. Developers shall be required to pay for their fair share of existing and future capacity to be used by their development.

4. The City shall cooperate with other jurisdictions in the County to reduce transportation congestion by participating in the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's Growth Management and Congestion Management Programs, by serving on the TRANSPLAN Committee, by encouraging public input into that process, by participating in the development of the Regional Route Action Plan, and by cooperating in planning for intersections subject to Findings of Special Circumstance.

5. The City shall work with surrounding jurisdictions as the need arises to resolve issues concerning establishing appropriate boundaries, the nature of development at boundaries, and other related regional issues.

6. The City shall regularly review its progress in attaining the desired jobs to housing ratio of 1.5 jobs per household.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
11/12/2024
SUBJECT: Waive the first reading and introduce ordinances approving a Zoning Text Amendment (RZ 24-005) to the Brentwood Municipal Code to update regulations related to automobile service stations/gas stations, carwashes, and short-term rentals DEPARTMENT: Community Development Department
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Erik Nolthenius, Planning Manager
Jennifer Hagen, Senior Planner

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Waive the first reading and introduce:

1. An ordinance approving amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code to prohibit new automobile service stations/gas stations and carwashes and instead allow for the operation of Alternative Fuel Stations in all zones where currently allowed; add new land use classification in Section 17.030.030 (Definitions) for Alternative Fuel Station.

2. An ordinance approving an amendment to Brentwood Municipal Code Chapter

17.796 (Short-Term Rentals) to more clearly define and prohibit short-term rentals.

The proposed 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 the proposed ordinances would restrict future land uses and development and would not facilitate new construction or other groundbreaking activities. There is no potential to result in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the ordinances will not result in a fiscal impact, as staff will continue to process appropriate planning applications through designated review processes, which include the collection of fees for the cost of these processes, in accordance with the City’s Cost Allocation Plan.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
11/12/2024

BACKGROUND
On January 24, 2023, the City Council provided direction to staff on reinitiating the City’s Zoning Code Update, including a focused and phased approach, rather than the comprehensive update that was initiated in the summer of 2020. On May 23, 2023, the project scope and budget were finalized when the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with De Novo Planning Group to prepare and complete the Focused Zoning Code Update and Objective Design Standards. The work plan approved by the City Council includes three main tasks to complete:

Task 1: Objective Design Standards;
Task 2: Zoning Code Updates required by State Law and the Housing Element; Task 3: Focused Zoning Code updates.

This agenda item is related to Task 3: Focused Zoning Code updates. This task includes amendments to various sections of the Zoning Code to better reflect the community's values based on feedback from the community and City Council, including changes to some permitted and conditionally permitted uses throughout the city.

On November 14, 2023, the City Council provided direction to staff on the following uses to be considered as part of the Focused Zoning Code Update efforts and also directed staff to present the Land Use and Development Committee (LUD) with an initial framework for each of the topics prior to moving forward with comprehensive and formal amendments:

1. Automobile service stations/gas stations

2. Carwashes

3. Alcohol sales

4. Self-storage facilities

5. Short-term rentals (STRs)

6. Drive-through uses
On June 17th and July 15th, LUD was presented with and provided direction on the six topics. Staff received clear recommendations from LUD on three of the topic areas, including automobile service stations/gas stations, carwashes, and short-term rentals (STR), which are now being presented to the City Council for adoption. Staff prepared individual reports for LUD on each of the topics and has included those three reports in Attachment 3 for the City Council’s reference.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
11/12/2024

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing at its regular meeting of October 15, 2024, and was ultimately supportive of the requested text amendments. The Planning Commission expressed concerns related to enforcement of STRs, however, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 24-041, recommending that the City Council approve the amendments (RZ 24-005), prohibit new automobile service stations/gas stations and carwashes and instead allow for the operation of Alternative Fuel Stations in all zones where currently allowed; add new land use classifications in Section 17.030.030 (Definitions) for Alternative Fuel Station and; and update Chapter 17.796 (Short-Term Rentals) to more clearly define short-term rentals.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS

AUTOMOBILE SERVICE STATIONS/GAS STATIONS AND CARWASHES
In considering zoning provisions for automobile service stations and carwashes, it is important to consider whether Brentwood is adequately served by the existing facility locations to meet the basic needs and expectations of residents and visitors. As the city is “built-out,” there will be fewer vacant sites available for overall development that is normally needed to meet other city needs and goals, such as attracting employment-generating businesses and improving the city’s jobs/housing balance.

Moreover, much of the remaining vacant land is surrounded by existing development that consists of residential neighborhoods, schools, and parks, and it is generally important to consider surrounding uses and context/compatibility when reviewing proposals for new automobile service stations.

There are currently 18 automobile service stations and 14 car washes (2 full service, 9 express, and 3 flex-service) operating in the city, as shown in the attached map (LUD Staff Report, Car Wash and Service Station Map – Attachment 4). Based on the existing facilities within the city, the limited available land, and in an effort to deemphasize fossil-fueled and auto-centric uses (such as gas stations and carwashes) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, LUD recommended that future fossil-fuel service stations and carwashes be prohibited throughout the city. In order to provide a clear distinction between fossil-fuel stations and alternative energy fueling stations, LUD also recommended changes to continue to allow for alternative fuel stations. Staff included the following proposed definitions in the draft Ordinance to address this:

Page 377 of 573 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
11/12/2024
“Alternative fuel station” means any establishment that dispenses alternative fuel as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, including methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols; mixtures containing 85% or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols with gasoline or other fuels; natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas; hydrogen; coalderived liquid fuels; non-alcohol fuels (such as biodiesel) derived from biological material; and electricity.

Staff also proposes amendments throughout the BMC to remove all references to automobile service stations/gas stations and replace them with alternative fuel stations. Since the BMC § 17.450.004 (‘Conditionally permitted uses’) also tacitly allows uses not listed in PD Zones to be considered through the conditional use permit process, an amendment to this section is also required as follows:

17.450.004 Conditionally permitted uses.

Any use not listed as a permitted use or listed as conditionally permitted in the specific planned development zone may be permitted subject to approval of a conditional use permit pursuant to Chapter 17.830, except for gas station/service stations and carwashes.

It should be noted that the proposal that was presented to the Planning Commission also included a new definition for Electric Vehicle Charging station. After further review, it was determined that Electric Vehicle Charging Stations were already adequately addressed and regulated within Chapter 15.14 of the Municipal Code and therefore all references were removed from the final draft proposal.

Existing Uses
Chapter 17.610 of the BMC outlines regulations for Nonconforming Uses and Structures. The purpose of these provisions is to regulate uses of land and structures that were legal before the adoption of the BMC, but which no longer comply. While the current Nonconforming Uses section of the Code do not entirely address all potential changes to the City’s current land uses, amendments to this section are being drafted as part of the future Zoning Code Update that will clarify the intent to permit nonconforming uses to continue until they are removed, but not to encourage their survival or expansion. These changes will be brought back to the City Council at a later date. The Car Wash and Service Station Map included in Attachment 3 shows names and locations of existing carwash and service station uses in the City that would become legal non-conforming.

11/12/2024

SHORT-TERM RENTALS
The rise in short-term rental (STR) activity over the last ten years have challenged many cities and municipal officials, as STRs often do not fit into normal municipal regulatory structures. Currently, the Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) prohibits short-term rentals constructed, converted, or otherwise developed through the use of the two-unit housing development (SB 9) provisions set forth in BMC § 17.797 and/or through the use of the urban lot split (SB 9) provisions set forth in BMC §

16.169. In addition, the BMC allows rooming and boarding for at least 30 days at a time. Apart from SB 9 developments, STRs are not explicitly defined and prohibited, but to date, the City’s position is that the BMC requires that they qualify as rooming and boarding or else they are prohibited.

Based on the need to clearly define and prohibit future STRs, LUD recommended the following definition and changes be made to Chapter 17.796 (‘Short-Term Rentals’) to explicitly prohibit STRs of both residential units and outside amenities:

BMC § 17.796.003 Short-term rentals prohibited.

A. Definition. “Short-term rental unit” means the rental or occupancy of any residential dwelling unit or a portion thereof for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days or less. Short-term rental units include uninhabitable portions of the property such as swimming pools, courts, backyards, and other amenities available for rent for less than 30 consecutive calendar days.

B. Short-term rental units prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to offer or make available to rent or to rent (by way of a rental agreement, lease, license, or any other means, whether written or oral), for compensation or any consideration, a short-term rental unit.

Staff has thus drafted amendments to the BMC that would prohibit all residential short-term rentals, including the rental of swimming pools, courts, and backyards, throughout the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Brentwood does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are incorporated into this Ordinance as though fully set forth herein.

SECTION 2. CEQA. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, this project is exempt in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, as the proposed Ordinance would restrict future land uses and development and would not facilitate new construction or other groundbreaking activities. There is no potential to result in either a direct physical change to the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment.

SECTION 3. Rezoning. Brentwood Municipal Code Section 17.870.008 provides:

No rezoning of property or text amendment shall occur which is inconsistent with the city’s community development plan.

Page 383 of 573 ends

Attachment 2

Page 3 of 10 ends

The zoning text amendments set forth in Exhibit A are consistent with the General Plan because General Plan Land Use Policy LU 3-1 aims to ensure that an adequate inventory of vacant industrial, commercial, office, and business park land is designated, zoned, and maintained for targeted employment-generating uses. The Ordinance’s amendments prohibiting additional gasoline fuel stations and car washes will help to preserve remaining commercial land in the city for uses with greater employment generating potential. The City Council finds that the Ordinance is appropriate and is not contrary to the public interest in that it will help preserve commercial land for the highest and best use and protect the city’s residential neighborhoods.

SECTION 4. Amendment. Specified sections, or portions of sections, of Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code are hereby amended to prohibit the development of new automobile service stations/gas stations and new car washes, as provided in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Revisions to existing sections are reflected in strikethrough for deletions and underline for additions.

SECTION 5. Effective Date; Publication Date. This ordinance shall be published in accordance with Government Code Section 36933. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption. The City Clerk is directed to cause the Municipal Code text to be entered in the Brentwood Municipal Code of the City of Brentwood to be modified accordingly.

THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE was introduced with the first reading waived at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Brentwood on the 12th day of November 2024 by the following vote:

reports prepared in connection with the Ordinance, (2) the policy considerations discussed therein, and (3) the consideration by the City’s Planning Commission; and WHEREAS, this amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are incorporated into this Ordinance as though fully set forth herein.

SECTION 3. Rezoning. Brentwood Municipal Code Section 17.870.008 provides:

The zoning text amendments set forth in Exhibit A are consistent with the General Plan because General Plan Land Use Policy LU 2-2 is intended to ensure compatibility between land uses and to reduce any potential negative impacts associated with aesthetics, noise, and safety. The Ordinance’s amendments related to prohibition of short-term rentals will help to protect existing residential neighborhoods from negative impacts resulting from the commercialization of homes for short-term rental use. The City Council finds that the Ordinance is appropriate and is not contrary to the public interest in that it will help preserve commercial land for the highest and best use and protect the city’s residential neighborhoods.

SECTION 4. Amendment. Chapter 17.796 of Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code is hereby amended to prohibit the operation of short-term rentals, as provided in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Revisions to existing sections are reflected in strikethrough for deletions and underline for additions.

DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 1

FOCUSED ZONING CODE UPDATE

1. Automobile Service Stations
Background
A. Automobile Service Stations / Gasoline Service Stations: The gas station has been an iconic part of American car culture since the first one opened in Pittsburgh (a Gulf station) over one hundred years ago. And while gas stations can be considered essential businesses much like grocery stores and banks, they can have an impact on the urban landscape, particularly from an aesthetic and environmental/ecological perspective. In considering zoning provisions for automobile service stations, it is reasonable to ask if Brentwood is adequately served by the existing service station locations to meet the basic needs and expectations of residents and visitors. This is an important question because the city is becoming more “built-out” with less vacant land available for development that helps Brentwood meet other goals, such as attracting employment generating businesses, which would improve the city’s jobs/housing balance. Moreover, much of the remaining vacant land is surrounded by existing development that consists of residential neighborhoods, schools, and parks. It has become increasingly important to consider surrounding uses and context/compatibility when reviewing proposals for new automobile service stations.

Currently, there are no citywide regulations in the Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) concerning development or performance standards for automobile service stations of any type. Thus, staff has limited tools available to effectively address the impacts caused by service station development and ensure that no adverse impacts occur from new service stations.

Further, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified service stations and fuel storage locations as uses that may result in a brownfield site. Brownfield sites are properties, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Common contaminants found at service station sites include gasoline, diesel, petroleum oil, volatile organic compounds and solvents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and lead. Exposure to the types of contaminants present, or potentially present, at service stations can threaten the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

With regard to fiscal considerations, automobile service stations do generate significant tax revenue, primarily from the sale of gasoline. However, it is anticipated that tax revenue will decline over time in part due to the availability and preference of alternative energy sources for powering automobiles. For example, electric cars powered by batteries are becoming more commonplace. In 2020 Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-79-20 to phase out gasPage 396 of 573 DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 2
powered passenger vehicles by 2035 and medium to heavy-duty vehicles by 2045.

This was then followed up in 2021 by Assembly Bill 1279 The California Climate Crisis Act that codified the policies to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2045.

It is estimated that by 2030, more than one third of all new vehicles sold will be fully or partially electric powered. As battery charging can occur at home, work, or in parking lots, the need for service stations is likely to decline in a corresponding manner. The declining demand for gasoline due to changes in technology and consumer preferences may increase competition among the existing service stations in the city such that closures may occur over time.

The analysis of issues related to automobile service stations makes clear that the City should evaluate new regulations to address the potential impacts associated with this land use. Regulations could range from additional standards in the BMC to limitations on future service station locations. As Brentwood transitions to infill development and redevelopment of existing areas, there is less available open commercial land to locate new service station facilities. Automobile service stations may not be the best use of available commercial land, and on those sites that are near residentially zoned properties, they may not be compatible.

Analysis
A. General: There are currently 18 automobile stations operating in the city, as outlined in the following table and attached map (Car Wash and Service Station Map – Attachment 1a):

16 7-Eleven 5931 Lone Tree Way No
17 7-Eleven 7460 Brentwood Blvd No
18 Mobil 6750 Brentwood Blvd Yes
As shown on the attached map, gas stations throughout the city are located on the periphery, with the majority of stations located on Balfour Road, Brentwood Boulevard, and Lone Tree Way. There are no gas stations located within the interior of the city or along main thoroughfares such as Sand Creek Road and Fairview Avenue.

B. Existing Regulations: Automobile service stations can only be approved in Brentwood with a conditional use permit (CUP), which provides the City with discretionary review ability. This allows staff and the Planning Commission to consider each service station application on a case-by-case basis and to apply specific conditions to a project to ensure land use compatibility with the surrounding area. It is recommended that the City maintain this requirement for a CUP for automobile service station facilities.

C. Locations: Automobile service stations are conditionally permitted in three commercial zoning districts and in certain Planned Development (PD) Zones. In PD-6; however, stand-alone auto fueling and automobile service stations are conditionally permitted while auto fueling stations that are accessory uses to an anchor retailer as the principal use are permitted by right. Brief descriptions of the intended land uses for these zoning districts are below:

C-1
Neighborhood Commercial. Intended to provide neighborhood convenience centers, which are typically a 5-10 acre shopping center with a supermarket as the prime tenant. The neighborhood convenience center generally is intended to serve the day-to-day needs of the surrounding neighbors within a one-mile radius.

C-2
General Commercial. Intended to serve the general shopping needs of the Brentwood community as well as other nearby communities. This zoning district allows retail stores and service uses to serve the general needs of the community.

Page 398 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 4
C-3
Thoroughfare Commercial. Commercial zone for retail and service businesses that are typically related to highways and major thoroughfares. Such uses generally do not lend themselves to be located in general commercial or neighborhood convenience centers, but are encouraged in orderly clusters in suitable locations adjacent to highways and major thoroughfares where special consideration is given to on-site and off-site traffic and circulation, impact on adjacent land uses, etc.

PD
Planned Development.
• PD-6
• PD-12
• PD-16 – Subarea A
• PD-20
• PD-34
• PD-35 – Subarea B
• PD-38 – Subarea A
• PD-41
• PD-42 – Subarea C
• PD-49 – Subareas A and C
• PD-55 – Subareas 1 and 2
• PD-67 – Subarea C
In evaluating the suitability of the zoning districts in which automobile service stations are permitted, General Commercial (C-2) and Thoroughfare Commercial (C-3) are both intended to serve a broad market, typically along major transportation corridors. These zones can be considered a logical fit for an automobile service station use. The Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) zoning district; however, is intended for smaller scale, less intensive uses that serve the needs of the immediate neighborhood. Given that development pressure will continue throughout the city for land that will become increasingly scarce, preserving the Neighborhood Commercial zone for higher and better uses may be an economically strategic option. Furthermore, removing service stations as a conditionally permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial zone will minimize, if not eliminate, any potential conflict between service station operations and sensitive residential receptors. It should be noted that if the BMC were amended to prohibit service stations in the C-1 zone, any existing automobile service stations in the C-1 zone would be allowed to continue operating as legal, nonconforming uses1.

D. Potential Development and Design Standards: The application of development and operational standards for automobile service stations will ensure the consistency

1 § 17.610.004 of the BMC states that no nonconforming use shall be expanded, extended, enlarged, substituted, replaced or otherwise altered without conforming to the provisions of this chapter.

Page 399 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 5
of regulations for new service stations and for the expansion of existing service stations. Of principal concern is the impact of service stations on residential uses and on certain public uses such as schools and parks. The development standards identified below could mitigate against the negative impacts that could result from new and remodeled automobile service station sites.
• Location and separation. An automobile service station shall be at least three hundred feet from any school, park, or similar use, and shall be at least five hundred feet from any other service station on the same side of a street, except at an intersection of two streets where a maximum of two stations may be permitted on the corners of such intersection.
• Lot size. An automobile service station site shall be at least one hundred fifty feet by one hundred fifty feet or the minimum required for the zone in which it is located, whichever is greater. A service station may be modified or rebuilt on an existing service station parcel with site dimensions less than required in this section, provided that all other development standards for the service station are satisfied.
• Setbacks. Notwithstanding the applicable setback regulations for the underlying zone, canopies over pump islands, whether attached to a building or not, may extend to within ten feet of street property lines. • Parking requirements. An automobile service station and any ancillary uses shall comply with all applicable standards of Chapter 17.620 (Off-Street Parking). Where conflict arises between sections, the requirements of this subsection shall take precedence.
o Automobile service station: Two spaces minimum. Spaces at the pump islands do not satisfy this parking standard. Any additional ancillary uses on the property shall also include the parking requirements listed below. o Automobile service station with a convenience store: Five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area of the convenience store. Up to 50 percent of the pump islands may be counted as parking spaces. o Automobile service station with car wash: The parking requirement shall be determined by a parking demand study prepared by an independent traffic engineer licensed by the State of California. The study shall be provided by the applicant, at their sole expense.
o Automobile service station with vehicle service bay: One space per service bay.
o A minimum of one loading space and delivery vehicle stacking area shall be located and designed to avoid undue interference with the public use of streets and alleys, drive aisles, or automobile parking spaces.

Page 400 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 6
• Driveways. No more than two driveways or means of access shall be provided to any one street. Driveways shall be located as follows:
o Not less than twenty-five feet from the nearest street intersection; o Not less than twenty-five feet from any other driveway; o Not less than five feet from a side property line.
• Ancillary equipment/devices. Ancillary equipment/devices such as air compressors shall not be located in any required building setback area. • Alternative fuel stations. In addition to the minimum electric vehicle (EV) charging stations required by the California Building Code (CBC), a minimum of one alternative fuel station shall be provided for every four petroleum-based fuel pumps. The alternative fuel station can be an additional EV charging station, compressed natural gas (CNG), hydrogen, or other alternative fuel. • Restrooms. Public restrooms shall be provided on site, at no charge, for customer use during normal business hours. The restroom shall be continuously maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. Entrances to restroom facilities shall be located within a building.
• Design. All service station developments shall be subject to the City of Brentwood Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. The service station structure must be architecturally compatible with any other buildings on site and with the surrounding neighborhood.
• Landscaping. In addition to all landscaping standards outlined in Chapter

17.630 (Landscaping and Screening), a landscaped buffer strip five feet wide shall be provided along all interior lot lines except where such area is occupied by buildings or driveways.
• Signs. Signs for an automobile service station and any ancillary uses shall comply with all applicable standards of Chapter 17.640 (Sign Ordinance).

E. Potential Operational Requirements:
• Location of activities. All activities shall be conducted within buildings except dispensing of fuel products from pump islands, vehicle charging, and air and water services, and minor emergency repairs including replacement of headlights, turn indicator bulbs, or windshield wipers. • Hours of Operation. Hours of operation shall be determined through the CUP process based on nearby uses and shall not operate 24 hours a day if directly adjacent to residential development.
• Site maintenance. The site including all structures, landscaping, walls/fences, and signs shall be maintained in good repair, in a clean, neat, and orderly condition. Driveways, parking, landscape, and service areas shall

Page 401 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 7
be maintained and kept free of grease, oil, and other petroleum products in addition to litter. These areas shall be periodically cleaned with equipment that dissolves spilled grease, oil, and other petroleum products without washing them into drainage, gutter, or sewer systems.
• Trash receptacles. Trash receptacles shall be located at the building entrance and at each pump island. The premises shall be kept free of the accumulation of litter or waste. Removal of waste or litter from the trash receptacles shall occur at a minimum of once each day the business is open. • Trash enclosure. A trash enclosure, completely enclosed with a decorative masonry wall not less than six feet high with a solid metal, self-enclosing gated opening, and large enough to accommodate standard-sized commercial trash bins, shall be located on the rear portion of the property in a manner which is accessible to refuse collection vehicles.
• Ancillary uses. Ancillary uses related to automobile service stations shall comply with the following:
o Convenience store.
 Outdoor display of merchandise shall be prohibited unless a temporary use permit is obtained pursuant to Chapter 17.850 (Temporary Use Permits).
o Car wash.
 Shall comply with all applicable standards as determined through the Focused Zoning Code Update which may include additional separation requirements and operational restrictions.
 Applicants shall provide a noise study prepared by an independent acoustical engineer licensed by the State of California. The study shall be provided by the applicant, at their sole expense.
o Vehicle repair shop.
 Shall not operate 24 hours a day and shall be determined through the CUP process based on nearby uses.
 Openings of service bays shall be designed to minimize the visual intrusion onto adjoining public rights-of-way and properties.  Service bay doors shall not directly face an existing residential development or residential zone.
 Vehicle repair shops shall be limited to battery and ignition services, tire repair and sales, and other accessory sales and services for automobiles, but shall exclude major automobile

Page 402 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Automobile Service Stations 8
repairs, tire recapping, steam cleaning, painting, body and fender work, engine overhaul, and other work of a similar nature. • Hazardous materials. All necessary permits for the storage and use of hazardous materials shall be obtained. All automobile fluids shall be recycled or removed according to applicable state and federal standards.

F. Potential Full or Partial Moratorium: In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, a number bay area cities have adopted ordinances to prohibit any new fossil-fuel pumps throughout their cities. The movement to prohibit new gas stations began in 2021 when the City of Petaluma became the first city in the U.S. to prohibit new gas stations. After Petaluma’s ordinance was passed additional cities in Sonoma County and all cities in Napa County joined suit. As Brentwood transitions to infill development and redevelopment of existing areas, there is less available open commercial land to locate new service station facilities. Automobile service stations may not be the best use of available commercial land, and therefore a complete ban on future development may be considered.

As shown on the attached map, gas stations throughout the city are located on the periphery, with the majority of stations located on Balfour Road, Brentwood Boulevard, and Lone Tree Way. There are no gas stations located within the interior of the city or along main thoroughfares such as Sand Creek Road and Fairview Avenue. Therefore, based on the concentration map included in Attachment 1a, future stations in these areas such as along the Sand Creek Road extension west of Highway 4 on commercially designated parcels, would not cause or contribute to overconcentration and may be appropriate. Thus, the City may want to consider continuing to allow gas stations only in these zones/areas and ban future development in all other areas.

DRAFT - Car Washes 1

FOCUSED ZONING CODE UPDATE

2. CAR WASHES
Background
A. Car Washes: Car washes have steadily developed to incorporate automation and water-saving technologies. There are three primary types of car washes today:
full service, express service, and flex-service.

Full service car washes are typically stand-alone facilities that employ a relatively large number of people either to wash, hand wash, or detail vehicles. These types of car washes are typically the only use on a property. Express car washes are usually associated with gas stations and are more commonly called drive-thru car washes. These facilities are a secondary, accessory use relative to the gas station, convenience store, or combination thereof. They are fully automated and require little to no staff. Older, unattended self-service car washes where customers wash, dry, and vacuum their own vehicles also fall within the express car wash category as these types of facilities are typically unattended.

Flex-service car washes (a hybrid of the full service and express service car wash models) combine the full service and express car wash models to offer both services in one location. The car wash industry is trending toward greater flexibility and reducing labor costs by transitioning from a full service model to a flex-service model, often with a flat monthly fee for unlimited washes. The foundation of this style is a conveyorized tunnel with an entry payment system.

Customers select a base wash package at the automated computer attendant and then add optional aftercare services such as interior vacuum, waxing, and/or a tire shine. All wash customers stay in the vehicle through the wash. Customers who purchase aftercare services follow directional signage to an aftercare center where they turn over their car to an attendant and wait in a lobby while their vehicle is prepared. Customers who do not elect any of the optional services may still utilize vacuums at vended stations which may contain between 10 to 40 vacuums. Flex-service car washes usually employ less staff than full service car washes.

There are currently no citywide regulations in effect regarding the operational and locational standards for car wash facilities of any type.

Analysis
A. General – Car Washes: There are currently 14 (2 full service, 9 express, and 3 flex-service) car washes operating in the city, as outlined in the following table and attached map (Car Wash and Service Station Map – Attachment 1a):

Car washes remain popular among drivers as the convenience and relative low cost of getting a car wash continues to attract customers. Additionally, there are environmental benefits to modern car washes as they utilize water recycling systems that consume less water than washing a car at home on a driveway.

Trends in car wash development suggest a movement from full service car washes to express and flex-service car wash models.

Car washes are often loud because, in addition to other equipment that generates noise during their operation, they require the use of large-scale, industrial vacuuming systems. These impacts can be particularly acute when car washes are located near residential uses and when multiple car washes are concentrated in a small area. Car washes surrounded by residential uses may have the potential to expose neighboring residents to excessive noise. As car washes move from full service to express and flex-service models, there is also concern that fewer onsite employees may result in less oversight, and therefore less control of impacts that these facilities may have on adjacent properties.

B. Existing Regulations: The Brentwood Municipal Code does not have citywide development standards to mitigate impacts caused by car washes. Currently, car washes are a conditionally permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and Thoroughfare Commercial (C-3) Zones. Car washes are also permitted or

Page 407 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Car Washes 3
conditionally permitted in certain Planned Development (PD) Zones. Aside from the PD Zones, car washes can only be approved in Brentwood following the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP), which provides the City with discretionary review ability. This allows staff and the Planning Commission to consider each car wash application on a case-by-case basis and to apply specific conditions to a project to ensure land use compatibility with the surrounding area.

It is recommended that the City maintain this requirement for a CUP for car wash facilities.

C. Locations: As noted above, car washes are allowed in two commercial zoning districts and in certain Planned Development Zones. A brief description of the intended land uses for these zoning districts is below:

C-1
Neighborhood Commercial. Intended to provide neighborhood convenience centers which are typically a five to ten acre shopping center with a supermarket as the prime tenant. The neighborhood convenience center generally is intended to serve the day-to-day needs of the surrounding neighbors within a one-mile radius.

C-3
Thoroughfare Commercial. Commercial zone for retail and service businesses that are typically related to highways and major thoroughfares. Such uses generally do not lend themselves to be located in general commercial or neighborhood convenience centers, but are encouraged in orderly clusters in suitable locations adjacent to highways and major thoroughfares where special consideration will be given to onsite and off-site traffic and circulation, impact on adjacent land uses, etc.

PD
Planned Development.
• PD-6
• PD-12
• PD-20
• PD-35
• PD-41
• PD-42
• PD-49 – Subareas A and C
• PD-55
• PD-67 – Subareas B and C
As developable land becomes scarcer in the city there may be concern that a proliferation of car washes without further regulation could have adverse impacts on neighborhoods and result in significant, irreversible change to neighborhood and community character. As the city transitions to in-fill development and redevelopment of existing areas, there is less available open commercial land to

Page 408 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Car Washes 4
locate new car wash facilities. Many smaller commercial parcels potentially available for this type of land use may be near or adjacent to residential uses that could be negatively impacted by this use. Unattended or lightly staffed car washes with the potential for traffic and noise impacts may not be the best use of available commercial land, and on those sites that are in close proximity to residentially zoned properties they may not be compatible.

In evaluating the suitability of the land use districts in which car washes are permitted an argument can be made that the Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) Zone may not be the most suitable for allowing a car wash use and perhaps should be reconsidered. Although residential zones abut much of the commercial land in the city, the Neighborhood Commercial Zone is intended for smaller scale, less intensive uses that serve the needs of the immediate neighborhood. Given that development pressure will continue throughout the city for land that will become increasingly scarce, preserving the Neighborhood Commercial Zone for higher and better uses may be an economically strategic option. Furthermore, removing car washes as a conditionally permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial Zone will minimize, if not eliminate, any potential conflict between car wash operations and sensitive residential receptors. It should be noted that any existing car wash in these districts would be allowed to continue operations as a legal, nonconforming use.

D. Potential Development Standards: The application of development and operational standards for car washes will ensure the consistency of regulations for new car washes and for the expansion of existing car washes. Of principal concern is the impact of car washes on residential uses. The development standards identified below will mitigate against the negative impacts that could result from new and remodeled car wash sites.
• Residential Setback. Whether automatic, by hand, or self-service, the car wash structure (including wash bays) and outdoor vacuuming machines or areas shall be located a minimum distance (e.g., 100 ft. or as LUD sees appropriate) feet from the property line parcel that contains a residential use or that could in the future (i.e., by GP/zoning).
• Openings. All washing facilities shall be located within a building which is enclosed except those openings necessary for vehicular and pedestrian access.

Such openings shall not face any adjacent residentially zoned property. • Queuing of Vehicles. An on-site queuing plan shall be provided to the City for review and approval. Traffic circulation shall be designed to ensure efficient circulation on and off the subject site and ensure that the car wash will not obstruct the use of any service station gasoline dispensers, drive aisles, backup areas, or parking spaces. Furthermore, vehicles shall not queue onto a public street, alley, driveway, or onto adjacent properties/parcels not associated with the car wash use.

Page 409 of 573 ends

DRAFT - Car Washes 5
• Design. All car wash developments shall be subject to the City of Brentwood Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. The car wash structure must be architecturally compatible with any other buildings on site and with the surrounding neighborhood.

E. Potential Operational Requirements:
• Hours of Operation. Hours of operation shall be limited to: Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM; and Sunday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM or as LUD recommends.
• Water Recycling. Recycling of water used for vehicle washing shall be maximized. The use of recycling water systems and the disposal of water fluids and solids shall comply with applicable state and federal guidelines/standards and must be approved by the Engineering Department.
• Air Quality. All mechanical ventilating equipment shall be directed to exhaust vents and cannot face adjacent residential properties. Exhaust systems shall be equipped with appropriate control systems to minimize or eliminate noxious pollutants that may impact ambient air quality and must adhere to all applicable local, state, and federal air quality standards. • Noise. All uses at the subject site, including any power driven or steam cleaning machinery, drying equipment, or vacuuming machines shall maintain noise levels below the levels provided in Chapter 9.32 Noise Regulations of this Code.
• Outdoor Loudspeakers. The installation and operation of outdoor loudspeakers or public address systems are not permitted.

DRAFT – Short-Term Rentals 1

FOCUSED ZONING CODE UPDATE

2. Short-Term Rentals
Background
A. Short-term Rentals: A short-term rental (STR) is a residential property that is rented for a brief duration, typically for 30 days or less. STRs consist of (1) homesharing, where a room in a dwelling unit or an accessory structure is rented, usually with the owner present, or (2) vacation rentals, where the entire unit is rented out to guests with the owner absent. STRs have become increasingly popular over the past decade as homeowners and renters look for additional sources of income and with the proliferation of platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, Home-Away, and FlipKey.

The rise in short-term rental activity over the last ten years caught many cities and municipal officials across the country off-guard, as STRs do not fit into normal municipal regulatory structures. Cities have responded by either banning STRs entirely or creating new regulatory systems to allow short-term rental activity.

Currently, the Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) prohibits short-term rentals constructed, converted, or otherwise developed through the use of the two-unit housing development (SB 9) provisions set forth in BMC § 17.797 and/or through the use of the urban lot split provisions set forth in BMC § 16.169. In addition, the BMC allows rooming and board for not for less than 30 days at a time. Although STRs are not explicitly defined and prohibited, by process of elimination, unless the STR qualifies as rooming and boarding, then it would be prohibited.

In addition, the City struggles to proactively enforce the prohibitions because there are little resource or mechanism to correlate length of stay with STRs to determine if it qualifies as a room and board. Although Community Enrichment does search short-term rental websites throughout the year to see if any Brentwood properties are listed, enforcement is difficult unless the addresses are listed or location is otherwise identifiable. Therefore, the majority of the time the City is reacting to short-term rental complaints as they are received and uses Community Enrichment and Police Department personnel to address each complaint on a case-by-case basis.

Not every city or locality is being impacted by short-term rentals in the same way.

Coastal/beach communities, mountain/ski communities, and communities that can be considered a “destination” either for an attraction, as an employment center, etc., have seen greater STR demand than communities that do not have these characteristics or that may be considered bedroom communities.

Nonetheless, a degree of STR activity seems to be present in most jurisdictions.

Arguments in favor of regulating and allowing STRs include allowing homeowners and renters to generate extra income, making more hotel-like rooms available for

Page 411 of 573 ends

DRAFT – Short-Term Rentals 2
rent in a city, providing alternatives to hotels, and creating an economic spark for the communities where STR visitors choose to stay. Arguments against regulating and allowing STRs are that they decrease the housing supply and increase rental prices by reducing the number of available units, create noise and parking supply issues in neighborhoods, and harm the existing hospitality industry.

Staff believes that the City of Brentwood should be explicitly clear in either prohibiting or allowing short-term rentals and understands that the direction from the City Council is to research prohibiting the use to protect residential neighborhoods. Should the City wish to allow STRs instead, then well-defined rules and regulations would (1) enable STR hosts and visitors to have standards regarding the operation of a short-term rental, (2) help to ensure STRs do not limit the housing market and that neighborhoods and residents are not affected by their operations, and (3) provide the City with additional Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) collected in the same manner as with hotels.

B. Short-term Renting of Backyards and Swimming Pools: As an off-shoot to the rise of short-term rentals, new platforms are emerging that allow property owners to market their swimming pools, courts, backyards, entire homes, and other on-site amenities for hourly rental. Platforms such as Swimply allow hosts to further commercialize their properties by facilitating pool parties, house parties, photoshoots, dinner parties, etc., at the residence of the host.

Although Airbnb and VRBO have tightened restrictions on having parties in shortterm rentals, the new platforms that cater specifically to hosting events rather than nights stayed can have a negative impact on residential neighborhoods, particularly with regard to noise, traffic, parking, and other nuisance issues.

C. Penalties and Fines: The City’s enforcement efforts on unpermitted short-term rentals and unpermitted rentals of pools and backyards are often reactionary, happening after the fact. Furthermore, the fine for committing the infraction may not be substantial enough to deter the activity.

BMC § 17.890.007 Penalties, states that “Any person who knowingly violates or causes or permits another person to violate any provision of this title is guilty of an infraction, and upon conviction shall be punishable by a fine of not more than two hundred fifty dollars. A violator may be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each day during any portion of which a violation of this title is committed, continued or permitted.”
Analysis
A. General: A booking search for short-term rentals in Brentwood (using July 12-14 and August 2-4) found that only one listing for a private room in a house in the city was available on both Airbnb and VRBO. Similarly, only one listing for a swimming pool rental was available on Swimply (using July 12 and August 2).

Although numerous listings are available in the region, including some neighboring

Page 412 of 573 ends

DRAFT – Short-Term Rentals 3
jurisdictions like Antioch and Discovery Bay, there is relatively little supply in Brentwood itself.

B. Existing Regulations: As noted above, the Brentwood Municipal Code partially prohibits short-term rentals under BMC § 17.796.003 Short-term rentals prohibited, which states:

In addition as noted above, the Brentwood Municipal Code does allow for room and boarding, which is defined in BMC § 17.650.003(4) as follows:

Rooming and boarding, defined as the renting of a room with or without table board to an individual for a duration of not less than thirty consecutive calendar days, shall be permitted as follows:
a. Occupancy to be limited to four paying guests,
b. Occupancy in excess of four guests may be permitted subject to obtaining a conditional use permit,
c. Rooming and boarding shall be conducted only by a person or persons residing on the premises,
d. Off-street parking shall be provided in compliance with Chapter

17.620,
e. The use of signs in conjunction with rooming and boarding shall be prohibited,
f. Rooming and boarding shall be subject to all other applicable city ordinances;
Although STRs are not explicitly defined and prohibited, by process of elimination, unless the STR qualifies as rooming and boarding, then it would be prohibited.

Moreover, commercial activities such as event/social centers are not permitted in residential zones without a Conditional Use Permit, and there are no regulations

Page 413 of 573 ends

DRAFT – Short-Term Rentals 4
in the BMC to explicitly prohibit the rental of backyards, swimming pools, courts, and other similar facilities.

C. Survey of Nearby Cities: A survey of nearby cities was conducted to determine if and how they regulate STRs. The table below depicts the high-level results for a selection of cities in the region, including whether they allow home-sharing, vacation rentals, or both, and any other relevant provisions.

D. Prohibiting Short-term Rentals in Brentwood: While some cities have chosen to ban short-term rentals, the main challenge to this is implementing ongoing enforcement. Resources would be needed to identify who is illegally operating an STR. Since online platforms do not provide addresses of rental units publicly, City staff might need assistance from a consulting firm that has the ability to find this information. Currently, staff does search short-term rental websites throughout the year to see if any Brentwood properties are listed, enforcement is difficult unless the addresses are listed or location is otherwise identifiable. The majority of information received about who is operating an STR is received from the public.

If the public is able to provide information on the specific housing unit, Community

Page 414 of 573 ends

DRAFT – Short-Term Rentals 5
Enrichment staff can then investigate to find any information that is available online prior to contacting the homeowner.

Fortunately for Brentwood there appears to be relatively little STR activity and existing staff can likely handle the anticipated volume of cases. In other jurisdictions where short-term rentals are very active and the city has prohibited the use, significant resources have been needed to enforce the ban. For example, in the City of West Hollywood there was a ban on all STRs from 2015-2018 and staff experienced more than 265 open code enforcement cases related to STRs, mailed over 800 warning letters, and levied over $250,000 in fines. However, the success rate in getting people to respond or remove their listing was low. People would either re-list at a different time or use a different room in their house. Due to the complexity of addressing the ban and the increased demand from residents to allow STRs, the City of West Hollywood now allows STRs through their HomeSharing Program and requires residents to register for a Home-Sharing Business License as of 2018. While Brentwood has a different set of characteristics, the City should anticipate additional staffing resources associated with enforcing a ban.

E. Potential Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Should the City wish to explicitly prohibit STRs of both residential units and outside amenities, then the following draft amendment to the Zoning Ordinance could be considered:

BMC § 17.XXX Short-term rentals prohibited.

It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to offer or make available for rent (via advertisement on a short-term or vacation rental website or otherwise) or to rent (by way of a rental agreement, lease, sublease, license, via a short-term or vacation rental website, or any other means, whether oral or written) for compensation or consideration a home-sharing rental, short-term, or vacation rental for less than 30 days, pursuant to a rental agreement, lease, sublease, license, via a short-term or vacation rental website, or any other means, whether oral or written, for compensation or consideration, or maintain any advertisement of a homesharing rental, short-term, or vacation rental for less than 30 consecutive days. This prohibition shall also include rental of not only the habitable portions of a home or residential property but also rental of swimming pools, courts, backyards, entire homes, and other on-site amenities for hourly rental, daily, or nightly rental.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
11/12/2024
SUBJECT: Adoption of User Fee Report for updating Community Development Fees and amending the Cost Allocation Plan to adopt, change and eliminate certain fees
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Kerry Breen, Director of Finance & Information Systems
Tim Nielsen, Development Services Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the User Fee Report and amend the FY 2023/24 Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees to adopt, change, and eliminate certain project and permitting fees; and find that the proposed amendments do not constitute a project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed updates to the fees contained within the Cost Allocation Plan cover reasonable costs associated with a particular service. The attached fees have no negative impact on the City’s budget as they recover costs for services performed by the City. Elimination of fees as proposed will also not negatively affect the City’s budget, as these costs will still be recovered through proposed fees and are being eliminated to streamline the Cost Allocation Plan.

Should the City Council adopt the changes to the fees as proposed, the General Fund will see revenue growth following implementation of the changes. Determining the amount of the increase is difficult, as permit levels fluctuate both in number and type from year-to-year. Based upon the number and categories of projects processed and permits issued in the past several years, revenue is anticipated to grow by a combined $400,000 per year if activity were to remain stable. This increase in revenue is anticipated to more fully recoup the City’s cost of providing developmentrelated services.

BACKGROUND

PRIOR UPDATES

Page 416 of 573 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
11/12/2024
Although the City makes minor annual adjustments and modifications to the Cost Allocation Plan (CAP), the last comprehensive update to the City’s development user fees was completed in November 2000. Most Community Development fees in the CAP are updated by CPI on an annual basis, however, this approach has not maintained pace with the City’s actual cost of providing the services. Additionally, preferred methods of fee calculation have significantly evolved since 2000 and the CAP reflects permit types and methods of calculation that no longer align with best practices.

In February 2023, Council approved a focused update to the Cost Allocation Plan amending the City’s valuation tables and a select number of permitting fees to more accurately recover the cost of services provided. Valuation tables allow jurisdictions to determine a fair market cost for the materials and labor required to complete a given project, depending on the planned use and complexity of construction. These are standardized both on a national and on a regional level and the International Code Council updates valuations twice annually. Calculating permitting fees for projects of medium to high complexity off of standardized valuation tables allows for equitable cost recovery for projects of a similar scope. Council approved the 2023 update with the understanding that staff would work on a comprehensive update to the development user fees reflected in the City’s Cost Allocation Plan and subsequently approved funding to complete a fee study with the 2023/2024 midterm budget adjustments.

Staff published a request for proposals and received several competitive proposals from financial consulting companies that specialize in government user fee analysis.

Ultimately, staff selected and awarded a contract to Government Consulting Partners (GCP) to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the City’s development user fees and prepare a user fee report containing recommendations for updates to the City’s Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees.

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS
Prior to the adoption of Proposition 13 in 1978, California cities were less concerned with the recovery of costs for services or potential subsidies of services provided to their customers. In times of fiscal shortages, cities could raise property taxes to fund a variety of services from emergency response, to parks and recreation to development-related services. However, the passage of Proposition 13 changed the landscape, imposing significant constraints on the ability to increase property taxes.

In 1979, voters further restricted the ability of local government to cover the costs of providing services by strictly defining the difference between a ‘fee’ and a ‘tax’ with the passing of Proposition 4. The main difference is that a fee must be no more

Page 417 of 573 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
11/12/2024
than necessary to cover the reasonable costs to the City to provide the service, product, privilege, or benefit for which the fee is charged. The allocation of the cost to the fee payer must bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the fee payer’s burdens on, or the benefits received from, the City. A fee payer cannot be charged a fee for a service, product, privilege, or benefit if the service, product, privilege, or benefit is provided to anybody who is not charged the fee. Proposition 218, approved in 1996 and Proposition 26 passed in 2010 further define fees and taxes such that fees are presumed to be taxes unless they fall into certain categories now set forth in the California Constitution.

GOALS OF THE STUDY
The principal goal of the development user fee study was to determine the full cost of development-related services and to determine the best methodology for recovering these costs. Staff and Government Consulting Partners additionally determined the following priorities:
 Update the Cost Allocation Plan to reflect modern structure, form and functionality;
 Streamline the manner in which fees are calculated;
 Consider the shift in the historic mix of development away from single-family dwellings toward office/commercial, multifamily and other smaller projects;  Allow for simple updates to accurately reflect future costs and other changes.

The results of the study will allow the City to better understand the true costs of providing services and can serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees to collect from applicants requiring individualized services from the City.

METHODOLOGY
The basic concept of a user fee study is to determine the reasonable cost of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected for that particular service. Working with City staff, Government Consulting Partners developed cost and revenue projections for each division, developed an understanding of the City’s existing fee structure and researched and recommended alternative fee structures where a particular fee was contrary to City priorities or policy. Each proposed change is intended to:

Page 418 of 573 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
11/12/2024
 streamline the fee calculation process;
 increase fee equity across customer groups;
 improve the customer experience; and
 further other objectives in line with existing policies.

Government Consulting Partners also surveyed up to eight comparison agencies to better understand best practice fee structures and trends in the region. The resulting recommendations are:
 reflective of best practices in modern fee structures;  transparent in their intent;
 predictable to the benefit of the City’s customers;
 intended to work with the City’s online permitting portal; and  streamlined and take current and future development trends into consideration.

OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES
Government Consulting Partners worked with each division to recommend changes targeted to meet the priorities identified above. These findings are presented in the Development User Fee Report included as Attachment 3. Additionally, a summary of the changes is provided below and the revised Cost Allocation Plan (with proposed changes tracked) is provided as Attachment 4.

Development Services
 Issuance Fees – collect a specific issuance fee according to a tiered structure for all permits instead of non-valuation-based permits only. When applied, this is currently a flat fee.
 SB 9 Projects – identify a flat fee for processing all parcel splits and second home construction under the provisions of SB 9.

Neighborhood Services
 Electrical/Plumbing/Mechanical (EPM) Fees – collect based on valuation for stand-alone projects and as a percentage of a building permit fee for larger projects. This will save significant time in calculating fees that currently rely on an item-count methodology.
 Work Without Permit – establish a fee for conducting work without a permit.

All licensed contractors understand that there is a legal requirement to obtain

permits prior to performing work. The City does not currently have any penalty for performing work without permits. Although this is not a frequent occurrence, it does happen a handful of times per year and is generally brought to staff’s attention through code enforcement action resulting from neighbor complaints or from the property owner themselves when they find out that work was done on their property without a permit. Establishing a penalty to discourage this practice on the part of contractors is therefore necessary.  Building Permit Fees – the building permit fee table is being adjusted to streamline the table into fewer fee tiers and to accurately reflect the costs associated with providing services based on valuation of the work being completed.

Planning
 New Fee Categories – these are activities for which no fee is currently collected or for which fees are collected under a different type of project. o Temporary signs/banners
o Affordable Housing Review
o Preliminary Application Review
o Planning Review of Building Permits
o Density Bonus Review
o Wireless Facility Permits
 Restructured Fees – The following fees have been restructured to reflect either a tiered structure or a flat fee from a deposit account-based fee structure:
o Street addressing
o Rezoning/Zoning Ordinance Amendment
o Design Review
o Conditional Use Permits
o Tentative Map review
o Variances

NEXT STEPS
If the City Council supports staff’s recommendations, staff will update the City’s permit and project tracking software based on the new streamlined fee schedule and begin collecting fees based on these changes on February 1, 2025.

PREVIOUS ACTION
Previous Action by the City Council is included on Attachment 1.

DATE OF NOTICE
November 1, 2024 and November 8, 2024.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This amendment of the Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees is not subject to CEQA, pursuant to Sections 15273 and 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because:

1. The amendment of the 2023/2024 Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees related to the adoption, changing and elimination of permitting fees is not a project because it is a fiscal activity that does not commit the City to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment; and

2. The purpose of the specified fees is to support those City services that are undertaken as a direct or indirect result of members of the public using the services of the City, and will be collected for the purposes of meeting operational expenses and maintaining service to those who request it.

ALTERNATIVE OPTION(S)
Alternative Options to the Staff Recommendation:

1. Do not approve staff’s recommendation. If the City Council does not support staff’s recommendations, the current fee schedule will remain in effect and the Cost Allocation Plan will be updated as usual based on existing Consumer Price Index formulas. This will result in an ongoing subsidy of project and permitting activity of approximately $415,000.

2. Modify staff’s recommendation. If the City Council supports modifying staff’s recommendations, the City Council would need to provide clear and concise direction on the proposed changes. Staff would then incorporate those changes into the Cost Allocation Plan and update the final fee schedule to begin collecting the new fees on February 1, 2025.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES `
`
Government Consulting Partners, Inc (GCP) is a Sacramento based consulting firm specializing in cost and revenue analysis studies for state and local government.

Background
The City of Brentwood engaged GCP to conduct a comprehensive review of the City’s development user fee schedule. The City’s development fees and policies were last comprehensively reviewed in April 2000.

Since that time minor changes have taken place, including adjusting fees annually for inflation.

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that cities periodically study their fee schedules to ensure profits are not being generated and costs are recovered at levels reflective of Council’s policies and values. As more fiscal limitations are imposed on local government, user fees have become an important source of revenue. A user fee is a payment made by an individual for a service that primarily benefits the individual. Public agencies can impose a user fee for a service when 1) the individual’s decision to use the service is voluntary, and 2) the fee charged to an individual user is reasonably related to the level of service rendered and the cost of providing that service.

User fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution and the California Code of Regulations, including Government Code 66000 et seq. By law, user fees may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the services for which they were levied approved by a two-thirds vote of the electorate.

In 2022 Brentwood conducted a mini-study targeting select fee issues. The study resulted in the adoption of current building valuation data (BVD) factors for use in calculating the construction valuation for each project. For example, residential construction valuation was increased from $92.34 per square foot up to today’s current value of $160.35 per square foot. The study also instituted reduced plan check fees for tract and multi-family housing that require less than the standard level of review. For non-model units, the fee was reduced from 65% of the building permit fee down to 25% of the building permit fee.

This report presents GCP’s comprehensive review of Brentwood’s development-related user fees with the goal of aligning fees with current fiscal policy and Council priorities.

The City’s scope for this project includes the following components:

1. Prepare a new fee structure customized to Brentwood’s needs and utilizing the City’s existing Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) system

2. Support the programming of new fees into the City’s permitting software

3. Provide any necessary tools to update the fees annually, and

4. Make recommendations for the frequency of future comprehensive reviews.

Brentwood Fee Schedule Priorities
The City’s Request for Proposals (RFP) identifies the following as priorities for the new fee schedule:
 Accurately reflects and recovers the City’s cost of providing services; 1

Page 430 of 573 ends

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES `
`
 Reflects modern structure, form and functionality;
 Streamlines the manner in which fees for permits and applications are calculated;  Considers the construction-mix shift from single family dwelling heavy to increased office/commercial, multifamily and small projects, and
 Is easily updated for future costs and other changes.

Adopted Development Fee Policy
In addition to the priorities spelled out in the City’s RFP, GCP also studied Brentwood’s Council Administrative Policy No 10-5, which provides guidance regarding targeted levels of cost recovery, fee schedule maintenance protocol and other related matters. Relevant excerpts of this policy are presented below.

Policy 10-5 Section 5.1: Ongoing review: Fees will be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost-of-living as well as change in methods or levels of service delivery.

Policy 10-5 Section 5.4: Development Fees Review Program: The following cost-recovery policies apply to the development fees review program. Services provided under this category include:

5.4.1 Planning (planned development permits, tentative tract and parcel maps, re-zonings, general plan amendments, variances, use permits etc.).

5.4.2 Engineering (public improvement plan checks, inspections, subdivision requirements encroachments, etc.).

5.4.3 Building (enforcement of California building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical codes and other codes, laws and ordinances).

5.4.4 Cost recovery for these services should generally be very high. In most instances, the City’s cost recovery goal should be 100%. Exceptions to this standard include appeals, where the fee is set very low to provide adequate opportunity for due process.

In adherence to the existing policy, proposed fees have been set at 100% cost recovery levels, except for appeal fees, which are heavily subsidized. The proposed fee schedule adds new fee categories, eliminates others and modifies certain categories to better reflect Councils goals for the development fee schedules.

The overall goal of this report is to provide the study’s results in a relevant yet concise format that allows City decision-makers to make informed user fee pricing decisions. 2

Page 431 of 573 ends

APPROACH & PROJECT GOALS `
`
In cooperation with City staff, GCP developed cost and revenue projections for each division under study.

Costs and revenues were projected by extrapolating individual per-unit results for an entire year of demand/activity.

Due to extensive fee structure changes, GCP recommends the City take a conservative approach to budgeting for new revenue. This is due to uncertainty regarding the future demand for these new and restructured categories.

Table 1 summarizes the fiscal impact of our analysis and our recommended adjustments.

Table 1: Fiscal Impact of Proposed Fee Adjustments
Annual revenue from fee services under review
totaled $2,589,030 in Fiscal Year 2023/24. The
fully burdened cost to perform these services
is $3,004,909 for a $415,879 subsidy. If all
proposed fee adjustments are adopted the City
should anticipate an extra $406,864 in annual
fee revenue, nearly covering the full cost of
services provided.

The proposed fees reflect a net increase in fee
revenue for each division. This is likely due to
the City’s policy of adjusting fees annually by a
Consumer Price index (CPI) factor, instead of
an index that tracks the cost of government employees.

The graph above illustrates the differing effects, CPI factor vs Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) factor on a $100 permit from 2001. It is uncertain whether labor costs will continue to outpace inflationary costs in the near future. However, because the cost of services is largely affected by changes in labor costs, we recommend the City adjust all non-valuation-based fees annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) for state and local workers. 3

Page 432 of 573 ends

APPROACH & PROJECT GOALS `
`
At the beginning of the project GCP met with City management to better understand the City’s goals and priorities for the master fee schedule. A workplan was then developed to ensure the proposed master fee schedule reflects those priorities.

Fee Structure Review Process
A key component of the workplan included researching and recommending alternative fee structures where a particular fee was deemed counter to Council priorities or policy. Table 2 illustrates the fee review process. Every proposed change either streamlines the fee calculation process, increases fee equity across customer groups, improves customer experience or otherwise furthers Councils objectives for the development fee schedules.

GCP surveyed up to eight different Building and Planning operations to better understand regional best practice fee structures and trends. Many of these survey cities are from Brentwood’s standard comparison city listing. GCP shared this compiled data with City staff as well as the actual fee schedules from neighboring agencies.

This task provided City staff with an
appreciation for the various fee structure
alternatives employed by regional agencies
as well as industry standards and norms.
o Reflect Modern Structure
Over time best-practice fee structures
change as the development industry
changes. Brentwood’s construction mix
has changed from single-family-home
dominant to a variety of other project
types, including multi-family and
maintenance-type projects. Also, customer
demands and expectations have change as
well. GCP worked with Brentwood staff to
design a structure that meets today’s
construction mix and use of cutting edge
technology.
o Transparent
All flat and tiered fees are supported by
average processing times and staffing fully
burdened hourly rates.
4

Page 433 of 573 ends

APPROACH & PROJECT GOALS `
`
o Predictable
Reducing reliance on deposit-based fees in favor of flat or tiered structures increases predictability for the development community. For example, bathroom remodels and kitchen remodels are two of the most common projects undertaken by homeowners. To increase predictability, GCP and City staff developed flat fees for each of these projects.
o Customer-friendly
The City recently instituted a customer portal enabling electronic plan submittals and payment services, greatly reducing wait times at the public counter. Currently 83% of plans are submitted electronically.

GCP worked with Development Services staff to ensure all recommended fees are supported by the new on-line portal.

It should be noted the City will need to update the permitting software used to assess and collect money from residents and the development community. GCP recommends that this Development User Fee Report be consulted when reprogramming the system.
o Streamlined
Streamlining the fee schedule was a major focus of the study. A streamlined fee schedule saves valuable time for both counter staff and the development community. This is especially true for homeowners nof familiar with development fee schedules and nomenclature. Examples of streamlining by division are provided below.
 Development Services
The division assesses a flat $111 issuance fee each time a new permit is pulled. Small standalone projects require just one permit, whereas a large project might require dozens of permits. GCP worked with the Development Services Manager to design a one-time fee charged at project initiation based on each projects construction value.  Building
The division’s electrical, mechanical and plumbing subtrade permits were modified from a per-unit count of all fixtures, receptacles and outlets to a tiered structure based on project valuation.

The valuation fee table was modified to raise the minimum project valuation amount from $500 up to $2,000 to better reflect today’s pricing.
 Planning
Reduced deposit account usage. Many services were converted from a deposit system to a flat, tiered or percentage-based structure. Reduces the administrative burden on staff from having to track time by project, which can be difficult as they often work on multiple projects in one day.
5 str

APPROACH & PROJECT GOALS `
`
o Consideration for Future Construction Mix/ Trends
Since the last comprehensive fee study the City has transitioned from a construction mix of primarily single-family tract housing to increased levels of commercial, multi-family residential housing and small remodels and miscellaneous projects.

For each fee-related service GCP guided staff to consider projects at each end of the size spectrum and consider whether the existing structure adequately recovers the cost of servicing these projects. Where it was deemed the existing structure inadequately recovered costs for either small or large projects, an alternative structure was researched and selected.

Proposed Fee Structure
After GCP and City staff discussed and reviewed all available fee structure options a final consensus was reached for each group of fees. Table 3 summarizes the proposed fee structure changes.

Table 3: Proposed Fee Structure Changes
Time Data/ Full Cost Calculation
Once all fee structure decisions were finalized, GCP and the City’s subject matter experts began the next phase of the project: developing reasonable time data for each proposed fee category. California law 6

Page 435 of 573 ends

APPROACH & PROJECT GOALS `
`
states that development-related user fees must not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing a particular service.

Accordingly, to ensure legal defensibility, proposed fees must not exceed the average time required for City employees and/or contract staff to perform the required reviews and inspections.

Per Unit Cost Analysis
GCP conducted a series of focus meetings with subject matter experts to review available data from the City’s systems and create a gameplan to obtain remaining outstanding data. Actual fee by fee results are presented in the Individual Fee Analysis and Recommendations section beginning on page 9. Staff time estimates underpinning each individual proposed fee are provided in the Appendix beginning on page 14.

Per Unit Time Data
GCP worked with City subject matter experts to identify tasks necessary to perform each permit and application and associated time requirements broken-down by task. Data from the City’s Central Square permitting system was queried to help inform staff’s time estimates.

Screenshots of questionnaires used by GCP staff to collect data are provided below:
7

Page 436 of 573 ends

APPROACH & PROJECT GOALS `
`
Reasonableness Checks
After several rounds of reasonableness checks and revisions GCP entered final time figures into the fee model along with associated cost data. The graphic below presents several reasonableness-check examples.

These checks were used to focus GCP and
staff’s internal quality control reviews on fees
that are outliers in one way or another.

Annual Projections/ Annualized Information
In addition to 100% full cost calculations, GCP
projected annual revenue for each fee service
based on estimates of demand. Demand
estimates were based on the following set of
assumptions.

Demand figures were adjusted in several cases
to approximate actual 2023/24 revenue
figures.

Excel-based Fee Model for Future Updates
GCP prepared a customized fee model to meet the needs of Brentwood’s Development Services, Building and Planning divisions. The model can be updated in future years to add or delete fee categories, modify time data and staffing costs. and
At the end of the study the model is turned over to designated City staff responsible for updating development user fees in the future.

COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS: DEVELOPMENT SERVICES `
The Development Services division is the first point of contact for developers and the public wishing to submit building plans for review or planning applications. Division staff coordinate the permit review process between internal and external plan checkers and outside agencies responsible for the review of new development. Division staff are also responsible for maintaining the City’s permitting system and operation of the Permit Center.

This section describes the analysis of Brentwood’s administrative costs of reviewing various permit and other entitlement applications. Development Services provides these services at the request of property owners, contractors and developers seeking to develop or otherwise modify their property.

Description of Services
Customers may submit planning and building applications, plans, or documents in five different ways: 1) through the electronic submittal portal 2) by scheduling an appointment, 3) by visiting City Hall during walk-in hours, 4) any time during normal business hours in the designated drop-off area in the permit center, and 5) through USPS or other delivery services.

All non-valuation based fees submittals are assessed an issuance fee of $111 to cover the cost of receiving, routing, permit issuance, and collection of monies due.

New or Restructured Fee Categories
GCP recommends the that issuance fee be extended to all permits, including valuation-based permits.

This will establish a discrete funding source for the Development Services division, enabling a better matchup of costs with revenues.

Currently a flat fee of $111 is assessed per permit. GCP worked with staff to develop a tiered structure based on project valuation as follows:

COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS: BUILDING `
This section describes the analysis of Brentwood’s cost of providing building plan check and inspection services to homeowners and the development community. The Building division provides these services at the request of property owners seeking to develop or improve their property.

Description of Services
The City’s Building staff provide a variety of services related to the review of building plans and subsequent inspection of structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work performed. These services are the primary subject of this analysis.

The division’s building permit fees are charged based on the construction value of the structure being built. Construction value differs from market value. Whereas market value reflects how much a property is likely to sell for on the market, construction value includes only the cost of raw materials and labor, but not land costs or profit. Plan checks are charged as a percentage of the associated building permit fee.

Electrical, plumbing and mechanical inspections are charged based on an item-count of the various fixtures, appliances, outlets inspected. Each item has an individual fee/price to cover inspection costs.

These individual item inspection prices are counted, tabulated and charged to the developer.

New or Restructured Fees

1. Electrical, plumbing and mechanical fees. Based on a review of industry best practices GCP recommends streamlining the City’s subtrade inspections (electrical, plumbing and mechanical) away from the current item-count methodology which is quite cumbersome for both staff and the community to calculate.
 Stand-alone Projects – electrical, plumbing and mechanical inspections not associated with a building permit (i.e. no structural work) will be charged on a slidingscale based on the value of the work inspected:
 Commercial/Industrial Projects – electrical, plumbing and mechanical inspections associated with a commercial or industrial building permit will be charged a fee equal to 20% of the building permit.
 Miscellaneous inspections – all electrical, plumbing or mechanical inspections not otherwise addressed will be charged a flat fee representing 15 minutes of inspection time (currently approximately $70).

2. Penalty for Performing Work without a Permit. It is common in the industry to assess a penalty to developers or subcontractors who intentionally perform work without first obtaining permission from the City. GCP recommends institution of a penalty fee of two times the original fee amount that was circumvented. Plus the original fee must be paid.

COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS: PLANNING `
The Planning division is responsible for implementing City policies that direct the physical development of the City. The division establishes conformance to local goals for development, adopted General Plan policies, and evaluates the environmental consequences of new development.

This section describes the analysis of Brentwood’s cost of reviewing various current planning applications and entitlements. The Planning division provides these services at the request of property owners seeking to develop or change the use of their property.

Description of Services
The Planning division uses two methods of recovering costs: flat fees and deposit-based charges. GCP and Planning staff reviewed a sampling of past deposit-based projects to assess which could equitably be charged via a flat or tiered structure.

New Fee Categories

1. Temporary signs/ banners $25 each

2. Affordable Housing Review
 Legal or consultant: 25% of contract
 AB 2011 review: $7,320 flat

3. Preliminary Application Review
 SB 330: $1,950 flat
 All others: $1,300 flat

4. Planning review of Building Permit $240 flat

5. Density Bonus Review $5,200 flat

6. Wireless Facility Permit
 Administrative permit: $1,620 flat
 Conditional permit: $10,090 flat
 Accessory small cell: $1,620 flat
Restructured Fee Categories

1. Street Addressing: restructured from a flat fee of $211 to tiered categories:
 1 unit: $320 flat
 2-9 units: $650 flat
 10-50 units: $970 flat
 51-100 units: $1,300
