NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits, meet at the Council Chambers, located at 150 City Park Way, in Brentwood, on February 25, 2025, and hold a public hearing to consider:
Adoption of an ordinance approving zoning text amendment (RZ 24-008) to amend Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code relating to Housing Element Implementation Programs including but not limited to H.1l (Farmworker and Employee Housing), H.1p (Replacement Housing), H.1r (Parking Standards for Studios and 1-Bedroom Units), H.1s (CUP and Design and Site Development Review Findings), H.4h (Low-Barrier Navigation Center), H.4j (Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) Units), H.4k (Emergency Shelters), H.4l (ByRight Permanent Supportive Housing (AB 2162)), H.4m (Reasonable Accommodations), H.4n (Definition of Family), and H.4o (Residential Care Facilities), in compliance with State law.
The ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (the common sense exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, in that the ordinance merely implements requirements of state law and includes no provisions beyond those included in the Government Code that that may result in a direct or indirect impact on the physical environment.
The Planning Commission considered the zoning text amendment on January 21, 2025 and a vote to recommend approval failed, and no recommendation was provided. The City Council will take final action.
Applicant: City of Brentwood
