projects, and $200 million to build parks and recreational facilities in local communities. Proposition 4 is intended to prepare communities for extreme heat, with investments in planting shade trees, creating more green space, and building community cooling centers. Key provisions of this program include that at least 40% of total funds go to projects that benefit vulnerable populations or disadvantaged communities and at least 10% of total funds must go to projects that benefit severely disadvantaged communities. Grant guidelines for this program have not yet been published; however, staff will continue to monitor this grant program as information becomes available.
Parks and Recreation staff will continue to look for other grant opportunities and will bring forward those for which the City may qualify as they are identified.
Typical requirements for the many of the parks and recreation grants may include:
Land must be publicly owned or have long-term public access agreements in place.
A City Council resolution approving of the application is required prior to submission of the grant application.
Design/scope of project must meet goals of the specific grant. A detailed cost estimate including labor, materials, equipment, and contingencies prepared ahead of application.
Weight is given to projects that serve underserved populations or certain economic demographics.
Matching funds to be identified at time of application. Most often City provides all funding upfront and awarded grant monies are reimbursed. CEQA is required to be completed before or within a very short time window of application deadline.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
SUBJECT: Waive the first reading and introduce an ordinance approving a Zoning Text Amendment (RZ 24-006) to the Brentwood Municipal Code to update regulations related to self-storage and drivethrough facilities DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Erik Nolthenius, Planning Manager
Jennifer Hagen, Senior Planner
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Waive the first reading and introduce an ordinance approving amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code to add development standards for self-storage facilities in Chapter 17.755 (Self-Storage Facilities); add development standards for drivethrough facilities in Chapter 17.655 (Drive-Through Uses); add new land use classifications for each in Section 17.030.030 (Definitions); and update references in all zones throughout the city related to the uses.
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 ordinance would not authorize or 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. Any future project subject to updated zoning provisions would undergo appropriate CEQA review prior to approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the ordinance 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.
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
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
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 zoning amendments related to each of the following topics:
1. Automobile service stations/gas stations
2. Carwashes
3. Alcohol sales
4. Self-storage facilities
5. Short-term rentals
6. Drive-through uses
On June 17, 2024 and July 15, 2024, LUD was presented with information on the six topics and provided direction on each. LUD recommended that staff return to the full City Council for further direction related to alcohol sales, self-storage facilities, and drive-through uses before drafting amendments for review and approval. On September 24, 2024 and November 12, 2024, the City Council was presented with information on, and provided further direction related to, alcohol sales, self-storage facilities, and drive-through uses.
Staff has completed work related to carwashes and short-term rentals, which were reviewed and adopted via separate ordinances by the City Council on December 10, 2024, and continues to work on regulations related to alcohol sales and service stations, both of which will be brought forward separately in the future. Staff is now moving forward with self-storage facilities and drive-through uses. Staff had prepared
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
individual reports for LUD and the City Council on each of the topics and has included those two reports in Attachments 3 and 4 for the City Council’s reference.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing at its regular meeting of June 3, 2025, and was ultimately supportive of adding development standards for drive-through uses and self-storage uses, with additional recommendations related to the proposed development standards to be presented to the City Council. The Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 25- 010, recommending that the City Council approve the amendments (RZ 24-006) to the Brentwood Municipal Code to add development standards for self-storage facilities in Chapter 17.755 (Self-Storage Facilities); add development standards for drive-through facilities in Chapter 17.655 (Drive-Through Uses); add new land use classifications for each in Section 17.030.030 (Definitions); and update references in all zones throughout the city related to the uses. The resolution was adopted subject to the following recommendations to be brought forth to the City Council:
Drive-Through Recommendations:
BMC Section 17.655.002 (F)
Increase the residential setback and removing the “unless separated by a masonry wall” provision.
BMC Section 17.655.002 (I) and (K)

removed/renovated/remodeled total square footage to kick in renovations of the rest of the site.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES
Self-storage facilities are uses that rent space on a short-term basis (often monthto-month) to individuals (usually storing household goods) or to businesses (usually storing excess inventory or archived records). Self-storage businesses lease a variety of unit sizes to residential and business customers/tenants.
Brentwood has experienced rapid population growth over the past few decades, and the pace of development has been one of the highest in Contra Costa County. As Brentwood now transitions primarily to infill development and redevelopment of existing areas, there is less available vacant commercial land to locate any new businesses, including self-storage facilities. With limited land/space available across the city in non-residential districts to support commercial and industrial uses, the economic benefits of other commercial or industrial uses likely outweigh the economic benefits of allowing additional self-storage units in most areas of the city.
Brentwood is currently served by six self-storage facilities (one of which is legal nonconforming). Given the scarcity of remaining vacant commercial parcels, self-storage facilities may not be the highest and best use of the land, and therefore staff recommends continuing to restrict self-storage facilities to the six Planned Development zones in which they are currently allowed (as shown in Table 1).
Maintaining this approach facilities would maximize economic development potential throughout the rest of the city.
Self-storage facilities generally contribute minimal long-term employment opportunities and have limited interaction with the surrounding business community.
These facilities typically operate with low staffing levels and do not generate significant foot traffic or customer activity that supports nearby businesses. As a result, allocating scarce commercial land to self-storage may limit the City’s ability to fully leverage development sites for broader economic activity and long-term job creation consistent with Brentwood’s economic development goals.
It is recommended, however, that the zoning code should be updated to clearly define self-storage facilities to create development standards for new or redeveloped facilities within these zones to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses.
Proposed development standards for new or redeveloped facilities include minimum lot size, setbacks, height restrictions, architectural standards, and perimeter fencing and screening requirements. In addition, standards related to lighting, security
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
features and residential managers units are also included. Specific prohibited uses such as storage of toxic materials, sale or distribution of goods, vehicle repair and truck rentals are also identified.
Table 1 – Zones That Explicitly List Self-Storage Facilities Zoning Requirement
IC - Industrial/Commercial Allowed with CUP
PD-10 – Subarea B Allowed with CUP (TownCentre Self Storage) PD-12 – Subareas B and C Allowed with CUP (Diamond Mine and StorQuest Self Storage)
PD-38 – Subarea A Permitted by right (Acorn Storage)
PD-42 – Subarea A Allowed with CUP (Brentwood Storage)
PD-55 – Subareas 1 and 2 Allowed with CUP
PD-56 – Subarea C Allowed with CUP
Planning Commission Recommendations
On June 3, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended two changes to the proposed Ordinance related to self-storage facilities. Staff has provided a summary below of the recommended changes along with responses to each.
1. The Planning Commission requested that within Section 17.755.002(E)(2), staff look into whether the term “wall” should be better defined.
Analysis: As originally proposed, the Ordinance stated the following:
2. Except for driveway and walkway access, all storage areas shall be screened from view from adjacent properties and rights-of-ways by free-standing walls where building walls do not provide the screening.
Screen walls may extend above the maximum required by the zone in order to screen recreational vehicle storage or other activities, but shall not exceed 12 feet in height.
Based on the Planning Commission’s recommendation, staff has modified the proposed standards within the attached draft Ordinance and is proposing to clarify in standard (2) that “all storage areas shall be screened from view from adjacent properties and rights-of-ways by free-standing decorative masonry walls.”
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
2. The Planning Commission directed staff to consider whether a non-conforming nexus related to new square footage could be incorporated into the Ordinance.
Suggestions included adding a metric that relates to a project’s scope and the percentage of removed/renovated/remodeled total square footage that may require renovations of the rest of the site.
Analysis: As originally drafted, the Ordinance proposed a number of architectural standards within Section 17.755.002(D) that would apply to new self-storage facilities. Since this section only referred to new facilities, it was unclear whether an entire facility would be required to upgrade if it only included renovating or adding onto a portion of the site. In order to encourage redevelopment and growth of existing facilities, the Planning Commission requested that staff consider modifying this section to add an objective metric at which time an entire site would be required to update the facility. Based on this recommendation, staff has recommended in the draft Ordinance to modify Section 17.755.002(D) as follows:
D. Architectural standards. All new self-storage facility structures shall comply with the following design standards. In addition, if an existing self-storage facility renovates, remodels, expands, or increases the overall square-footage of the existing facility by 50% or more, then all new and existing self-storage facility structures shall comply with the following design standards:
DRIVE-THROUGH USES
Drive-through restaurants first appeared in California in the 1950s, popularizing the “eat-in-your-car” model that spread across the U.S. alongside the growth of suburban development and highway infrastructure. Over time, this model was adopted by fastfood chains seeking convenience and speed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, drivethroughs became critical for business continuity, as many restaurants shut down indoor dining. Since then, many companies have continued shifting toward drivethrough formats, which are often more profitable due to smaller footprints, reduced staffing needs, and lower overhead costs.
While drive-through models align with evolving consumer preferences and business efficiencies—and continue to be in high demand among operators seeking to expand—it is important for the City to also weigh their broader implications on longterm economic development. These facilities can support investment by national
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
brands and provide convenient services to residents, making them a valuable part of a diversified commercial landscape.
However, drive-through restaurants generally produce fewer jobs per square foot compared to sit-down restaurants or mixed-use developments and may limit opportunities for place-making and higher-value commercial investment, particularly in key gateway or corridor areas. Additionally, when located near residential neighborhoods or along already congested arterials, these uses may contribute to increased vehicle queuing, spillover traffic, and reduced walkability—potentially conflicting with broader community objectives around accessibility, connectivity, and corridor revitalization.
To remain an attractive and competitive location for private investment, Brentwood must carefully balance market-driven demand for drive-through facilities with thoughtful design standards and location considerations that support quality development, economic resilience, and neighborhood compatibility.
Based on these concerns, at the September 24, 2024 City Council meeting, it was recommended that the following new development standards be implemented for all future drive-through uses to lessen and/or avoid the negative impacts that could result from new and remodeled drive-through establishments. The proposed standards included:
1. Residential setback. The drive-through facility and ordering board shall be located a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from the boundary of any residential zone or PD subarea (excluding mixed-use districts), unless separated by a masonry wall.
2. Queuing analysis. An on-site queuing plan shall be provided to the City Engineer for review and approval. Traffic circulation shall be designed to ensure efficient circulation on and off the subject site. Furthermore, vehicles shall not queue onto a public street, alley, driveway, or onto adjacent properties/parcels not associated with the drive-through use (without a cross access agreement).
3. Separate waiting lane. For new drive-through facilities, the drive-through lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation routes and aisles necessary for ingress to or egress from the property or access to any off-street parking spaces.
4. Vehicle stacking. Drive-through ordering board speakers should be located to allow a minimum of four cars to queue behind the ordering vehicle to prevent vehicles from stacking in the drive aisle of the parking lot.
5. Pedestrian access and circulation. Pedestrian access shall be provided from each abutting street to the primary entrance with a continuous four (4) footPage 180 of 487 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
wide minimum sidewalk or delineated walkway. Pedestrian walkways should not intersect the drive-through lane when feasible, but where this cannot be avoided, the walkways shall have clear visibility and shall be delineated by textured and colored paving.
6. Ordering board. The ordering board speaker for the drive-through should be oriented and directed to face away from adjacent residential uses.
7. Building design. All drive-through facilities shall be subject to the City of Brentwood Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. The drive-through facility must be architecturally compatible with any other buildings on site and with the surrounding neighborhood.
Planning Commission Recommendations
On June 3, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended three changes to the proposed Ordinance and standards related to drive-thru facilities. Staff has provided a summary below of the recommended changes along with responses to each.
1. The Planning Commission requested that changes be made to Section
17.655.002(A) to increase the residential setback and remove the “unless separated by a masonry wall” provision.
Analysis: As originally proposed, the Ordinance stated the following:
The drive-through facility and ordering board shall be located a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from the boundary of any residential zone or PD subarea (excluding mixed-use districts), unless separated by a masonry wall.
The original recommended language was drafted in order to help protect residential properties from negative impacts associated with noise related to the drive-through lane and ordering boards. Based on a high-level review of the city’s existing zoning and remaining vacant parcels that have the highest potential to be developed in the near future, it was estimated that the majority of the city’s remaining vacant commercial land is directly surrounded by residential property. With the goal of protecting the residential quality of life, staff recommended the original standards requiring that all drive-through facilities be located 100-feet from a residential zone unless separated by a masonry wall. Although not clarified in the original standard, staff recommends it be clarified that the masonry wall be a minimum of 6-foot in height in order to provide adequate noise reduction and to protect the quality of life for surrounding residential
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
properties. This specific standard and the proposed distance from residential development was discussed by the City Council during the September 24, 2024 City Council meeting. At the conclusion of that discussion, the City Council recommended that in order to carefully balance market-driven demand for drive-through facilities while still providing thoughtful design standards and location considerations that support quality development, a 100-foot separation was an acceptable solution. In light of the recommendation provided by the Planning Commission, the City Council should consider whether to increase the 100-foot separation. It should be noted that staff kept the separation at 100 feet in the draft ordinance, based in part on the previous City Council discussion as well as a determination that it would be an adequate buffer and would reduce potential impacts for adjacent residential uses while allowing direct economic improvements throughout the city. In addition, staff does not recommend removing the “unless” clause within the standard, but instead clarify the masonry wall shall be a minimum 6-feet in height. It should also be noted that in all cases, no matter the distance from adjacent residential properties, a noise analysis would be required to demonstrate that all City noise standards are met.
2. The Planning Commission requested that changes be made to Section
17.655.002(D) and (F) to change “should” to “shall”.
Analysis: As originally proposed, the Ordinance stated the following:
D. Vehicle stacking. Drive-through ordering board speakers should be located to allow a minimum of four cars to queue behind the ordering vehicle to prevent vehicles from stacking in the drive aisle of the parking lot.
F. Ordering board. The ordering board speaker for the drive-through should be oriented and directed to face away from adjacent residential uses.
In both of the above mentioned cases, the standard is written to provide the reviewing body (Planning Commission) the discretion to enforce the requirements unless special circumstances prevail. Since all drive-through facilities require a Conditional Use Permit, this discretion would be up to the Planning Commission and not be left up to staff. If the standards are modified to use the term “shall,” there would be no discretion allowed in any case for unique or special circumstances. As drive-thru facilities
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
07/22/2025
continue to change and evolve, the City is seeing new business models that provide varying options for ordering, including pick-up only windows in order to expedite efficiency. In cases similar to this, four queuing spaces may not always be necessary. In addition, there could be a benefit to retaining some level of discretion in allowing ordering boards to be oriented or directed to face residential uses in special or unique situations where there may be ample distance between properties, or adequate mitigation measures in place to relieve negative impacts. Changing the wording to “shall” could prohibit many facilities from even being considered with no discretion or options available. By retaining the word “should,” the Planning Commission could continue to use its discretion and make future decisions on a case by case basis that would ensure design standards and location are considerations that support quality development. Based on this, staff did not modify the draft ordinance, but recommends that the City Council consider whether to change the word “should” to “shall”.
3. The Planning Commission requested that changes be made to Section
17.655.002 to add language from the Commercial and Industrial Guidelines in an objective way including the following:
Plan drive-thru windows to minimize adverse physical and visual impacts
a) Avoid drive-thru lanes which are located between the building and adjacent streets.
b) Avoid drive-thru exits into major entry and exit drives. c) Drive-thru windows and driveways are not allowed in locations facing any residential area, including residential areas separated from the use by an intervening street.
Analysis: Similar to the last recommendation, the guidelines are written to provide the reviewing body (Planning Commission) the discretion to enforce the requirements unless special circumstances prevail. Since all drivethrough facilities require a Conditional Use Permit, this discretion would be up to the Planning Commission and not be left up to staff. While staff supports including the above mentioned language in the Zoning Code, staff does not support modifying the language to change it from “avoid” to “prohibit” as it would essentially prohibit most, if not all, future drivethrough facilities since they are typically located between the building and a street. Retaining the existing wording would allow for the Planning Commission to use its discretion and make future decisions on a case by case basis. Based on this, staff did not modify the draft ordinance, but
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1

recommends that the City Council consider whether to change the word “avoid” to “prohibit.”

Attachment 2
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 not authorize or facilitate construction or groundbreaking activities and any future project subject to the Ordinance would undergo appropriate CEQA review prior to approval.
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. In making a decision, the planning commission and council shall consider the consistency of the proposed action to the community development plan and other applicable city plans, and shall consider whether the proposed action is inappropriate or otherwise contrary to the public interest.
The zoning text amendment set forth in Exhibit A is consistent with the General Plan because it meets Land Use Policy LU 3-9 which dictates that all commercial and other non-residential development is compatible with adjacent land uses, particularly residential uses. In addition, it is consistent with Land Use Policy LU 2-2 because it will help to protect existing residential neighborhoods from negative impacts resulting from the installation and operation of self-storage and drive-through facilities.
The City Council likewise finds that the Ordinance is appropriate and is not contrary to the public interest in that it will add clarity to and update the provisions of the Brentwood Municipal Code and update related definitions in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, it will encourage investment in Brentwood while protecting residents and existing development.
SECTION 4. Amendment. Specified sections, or portions of sections, of Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code are hereby amended, as shown in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein, as follows:
Title 17 Zoning is hereby amended to add special development and performance standards to regulate self-storage facilities to ensure high-quality design of new and expanded facilities and to lessen or avoid any negative impacts that could result from new or remodeled self-storage facilities, as provided in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Revisions to

Chapter 17.755 SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES
17.755.001 Intent and purpose of chapter.
The intent and purpose of this chapter is to provide special development requirements, design guidelines, and performance standards to achieve self-storage facilities designed to address development impacts, operational elements, site and built design elements, and safety. Chapter 17.030 of this code provides a definition for self-storage facilities. If self-storage is not listed as a permitted use or listed as conditionally permitted in the specific zoning or planned development zone it is not permitted.
17.755.002 Development standards.
The physical building(s) containing the self-storage facility use is subject to the prescribed zoning district standards and permitting process, except that the following standards apply:
A. Lot size. Minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet and maximum lot size is two (2) acres (87,120 square feet).
B. Setbacks. Each self-storage facility shall maintain a minimum setback as prescribed for the zone.
C. Maximum height. Maximum height is 35 feet. Any portions of the self-storage facilities that are within 30 feet of any residential use shall be no higher than one story (not to exceed 15 feet).
D. Architectural standards. All new self-storage facility structures shall comply with the following design standards. In addition, if an existing self-storage facility renovates, remodels, expands or increases the overall square-footage of the existing facility by 50% or more, then all new and existing self-storage facility structures shall comply with the following design standards:
1. All self-storage facility buildings shall adhere to the City of Brentwood Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines.
2. Building elevations that are longer than 30 feet wide shall be modulated to create visual relief through the use of elevation plane changes.
Elevations must provide a minimum one (1) horizontal change in plane for every 30 ft. of building elevation. The change in plane must be minimum 3 ft. deep and 6 ft. wide, and must be open to the sky.
3. A variation in colors, textures, materials, and finishes shall be used to add variety and interest to structures provided all colors, textures, materials, and finishes are consistent with the overall architectural style of the building. Each building façade greater than 100 ft. in length shall include a minimum of two (2) distinct façade compositions. For every additional 100 ft. of building façade, an additional 1 (one) distinct façade
Attachment 2
composition is required. Each distinct façade composition shall have a total combined façade area greater than 10% of the overall façade area.
4. A variety of roof shapes and forms shall be utilized to add character and diversity. The number of required roof forms shall be calculated at a ratio of at least one roof form for every 30 ft. of frontage and shall be located within 15 ft. of the predominant building face on all building frontages. Standards for variation in roof form will apply to all frontages.
5. Exterior access for storage units shall be fully screened from the public right-of-way through building design, decorative walls, landscaping, or other screening methods as deemed appropriate by the Community Development Director.
6. Landscape and hardscape shall add to the character of the new buildings, facilitate sustainable water use, and be relatively easy to maintain. The landscape design shall be integrated with the buildings on site and enhance the natural environment of the area.
E. Perimeter fencing and screening.
1. A decorative masonry wall, at least six feet high, shall be required adjacent to any residential district. The height, placement and design of such wall shall be considered on a site-specific basis considering the need for security and screening.
2. Except for driveway and walkway access, all storage areas shall be screened from view from adjacent properties and rights-of-ways by free-standing decorative masonry walls where building walls do not provide the screening. Screen walls may extend above the maximum required by the zone in order to screen recreational vehicle storage or other activities, but shall not exceed 12 feet in height.
17.755.003 Performance standards.
The following performance standards shall apply to self-storage facilities:
A. Lighting. Lighting shall be designed to minimize glare and light spillover and maximize energy conservation. Light standards shall be shielded and have a maximum height of 14 feet to effectively control glare and light trespass.
B. Security features. Prior to commencing the self-storage facility operation, the facility shall install automatic pedestrian and vehicle gates with electronic access. Additionally, individual door alarms, surveillance cameras, and monitoring stations shall be installed.
C. A residential unit for a caretaker/security guard is be allowed as an accessory use and shall be no larger than 750 square feet and include no more than one bedroom. This residential unit shall not be rented and/or leased as a residential
Attachment 2
unit to anyone other than the caretaker/security guard. Such residential unit shall be developed as a part of the self-storage building facility, shall not be located in the frontage of the development, and shall not be a trailer, mobile home, or modular unit. Habitation outside of authorized caretaker/security guard quarters is prohibited.
D. Prohibitions. The following are prohibited in a self-storage use:
1. Storage of toxic or hazardous materials.
2. Sale or distribution of stored goods.
3. Vehicle repair.
4. Operation of any business.
5. Truck rental and the exterior storage of recreational vehicles and boats.

Chapter 17.655 DRIVE-THROUGH USES
17.655.001 Intent and purpose of chapter.
A. Intent. This chapter is intended to provide special development and performance standards to regulate drive-through facilities to minimize the impacts on pedestrians, safety, traffic and queuing, noise, lighting, air pollution, and aesthetics associated with their use.
B. Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidance to achieve drivethrough facilities designed to address development impacts, operational elements, site and built design elements, and safety.
17.655.002 Development standards.
The following development standards shall apply to drive-through uses:
A. Residential setback. The drive-through facility and ordering board shall be located a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from the boundary of any residential zone or PD subarea (excluding mixed-use districts), unless separated by a masonry wall.
B. Queuing analysis. An on-site queuing plan shall be provided to the City Engineer for review and approval. Traffic circulation shall be designed to ensure efficient circulation on and off the subject site. Furthermore, vehicles shall not queue onto a public street, alley, driveway, or onto adjacent properties/parcels not associated with the drive-through use without a cross access agreement.
C. Separate waiting lane. For new drive-through facilities, the drive-through lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation routes and aisles necessary for ingress to or egress from the property or access to any off-street parking spaces.
D. Vehicle stacking. Drive-through ordering board speakers should be located to allow a minimum of four cars to queue behind the ordering vehicle to prevent vehicles from stacking in the drive aisle of the parking lot.
E. Pedestrian access and circulation. Pedestrian access shall be provided from each abutting street to the primary entrance with a continuous four (4) footwide minimum sidewalk or delineated walkway. Pedestrian walkways should not intersect the drive-through lane when feasible, but where this cannot be avoided, the walkways shall have clear visibility and shall be delineated by textured and colored paving.
Attachment 2
F. Ordering board. The ordering board speaker for the drive-through should be oriented and directed to face away from adjacent residential uses.
G. Building design. All drive-through facilities shall be subject to the City of Brentwood Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. The drive-through facility must be architecturally compatible with any other buildings on site and with the surrounding neighborhood.
17.655.003 Performance standards.
The following performance standards shall apply to drive-through uses:
A. Noise. Noise levels from speakers shall comply with the City’s noise ordinance outlined in Chapter 9.32 (‘Noise Regulations’) of the Brentwood Municipal Code.
Self-Storage Facilities 1
FOCUSED ZONING CODE UPDATE
2. Self-Storage Facilities
Background
A. Self-storage Facilities / Mini-storage: Self-storage facilities are uses that rent space on a short-term basis (often month-to-month) to individuals (usually storing household goods) or to businesses (usually storing excess inventory or archived records). Self-storage businesses lease a variety of unit sizes to residential and business customer/tenants. The storage units are typically windowless, walled with concrete cinder blocks or corrugated metal, and lockable by the renter. Each unit is typically accessed by opening a roll-up metal door, which is usually about the same size as a one-car garage door (smaller units may be accessed by a hinged metal door). A controlled access facility may employ security guards, security cameras, individual unit door alarms, and some means of electronic gate access such as a keypad or proximity card. Self-storage facility operators frequently provide 24-hour access, climate-controlled storage, outdoor storage for RVs and boats, and lights or power outlets inside the storage unit as amenities.
The rented spaces are secured by the renters’s own lock and key. Unlike in a warehouse, self-storage facility employees do not have casual access to the contents of the space.
In rural and suburban areas, most facilities contain multiple single-story buildings with mostly drive-up units that have natural ventilation but are not climatecontrolled. These buildings are referred to as “traditional” storage facilities.
Self-Storage Facilities 2
Climate-controlled interior units are becoming more popular in suburban areas.
In urban areas, many facilities have multi-story buildings using elevators or freight lifts to move the goods to the upper floors. These facilities are often climatecontrolled since they are comprised mostly, if not totally, of interior units.
Warehouses or former grocery stores are sometimes converted into self-storage facilities. Loading docks are sometimes provided on the ground floor. Urban selfstorage facilities might contain only a few floors in a much larger building (i.e., self-storage businesses co-located with manufacturing plants, office tenants, and even public schools).
One in ten U.S. households now rent a self-storage unit.1 The growing demand for self-storage in the U.S. is created by people moving and by various lifestyle transitions, such as marriage, divorce, retirement, a death in the family, etc. Over 54,000 self-storage facilities currently exist in the U.S., ranging from companies with a nationwide presence to companies with regional footprints or even standalone independent facilities.2 Recent surveys of self-storage companies indicate that demand for storage space remains stable.3 In many metropolitan cities where competition among storage companies is fierce, better parcels of land near residential and commercial areas are being converted into self-storage. Furthermore, companies are becoming more adept at manufacturing these modular storage units, allowing operators to get up and running quickly.

Self-Storage Facilities 3
Analysis
A. General: There are currently six self-storage facilities operating in Brentwood, as outlined in the following table:
Name Address Size
Acorn Self Storage 6900 Lone Tree Way 7.14 acres
Brentwood Self Storage 190 Sand Creek Road 3 acres
Diablo Mini Storage 8265 Brentwood Blvd. 1.45 acres
Diamond Mine MiniStorage 175 Guthrie Lane 4 acres
StorQuest Self Storage 325 Guthrie Lane 3.99 acres
TownCentre Self Storage 345 Town Centre Terrace 2.58 acres The facilities vary in size but generally occupy large parcels with multiple singlestory structures. The newer facilities tend to provide greater aesthetic value but can still have a monolithic appearance given the expanse of walls over long, unengaging buildings.
B. Existing Regulations: The Brentwood Municipal Code does not have citywide development standards related to self-storage facilities. And although numerous zones identify self-storage facilities within their use charts, since there is no definition within the Municipal Code for self-storage, it has left the use open to potential consideration as a warehouse classification use as well. Overall, staff has taken the stance that, unless expressly permitted by right under self-storage, then self-storage facilities can be considered in Brentwood through a conditional use permit (CUP), which provides the City with discretionary review ability. This allows staff and the Planning Commission to consider each self-storage facility application on a case-by-case basis and to apply specific conditions to a project to ensure land use compatibility with the surrounding area.
C. Locations: Self-storage facilities are conditionally permitted in the Industrial/Commercial zone and in certain Planned Development zones. In PD-38, Subarea A (Acorn Self Storage), however, self-storage facilities are permitted by right. The table below briefly describes the intended land uses for these zoning districts:
Self-Storage Facilities 4
Table 1 – Zones That Allow Self-Storage
Zoning Requirement
IC - Industrial/Commercial Allowed with CUP
PD-10 – Subarea B Allowed with CUP (TownCentre Self Storage) PD-12 – Subareas B and C Allowed with CUP (Diamond Mine and StorQuest Self Storage)
PD-38 – Subarea A Permitted by right (Acorn Storage)
PD-42 – Subarea A Allowed with CUP (Brentwood Storage)
PD-55 – Subareas 1 and 2 Allowed with CUP
PD-56 – Subarea C Allowed with CUP
D. Regulate or Prohibit: The City of Brentwood has experienced rapid population growth over the past few decades, and in conjunction, the pace of development has been one of the highest in Contra Costa County. As Brentwood now transitions to infill development and redevelopment of existing areas, there is less available open commercial land to locate any new types of businesses, including selfstorage facilities.
The City’s approximately 65,000 residents are currently served by six existing self-storage facilities. Given the scarcity of remaining vacant commercial parcels, self-storage facilities may not be the highest and best use of the land, and therefore a prohibition on new self-storage facilities may be considered.
Furthermore, as indicated earlier in this report, the market for self-storage facilities is very strong and there will likely be interest in Brentwood for the development of additional facilities.
Although conditionally permitted in the Industrial/Commercial zone, the focus of the IC zone is not primarily self-storage facilities. Self-storage facilities may be considered an important service, but they typically have limited aesthetic appeal, employ very few individuals, are not pedestrian oriented, and do not encourage flexibility of use in building and site design to accommodate a range of uses and business sizes. Self-storage facilities generate limited tax revenue, and thus do not enhance Brentwood’s industrial/commercial areas to attract jobs and expand the City’s tax base. Moreover, once established, such facilities usually remain in place for many years.
The City may, however, wish to continue to allow for the development of selfstorage facilities, but adopt clear definitions in order to only allow them in the zones as identified in the table above or adopt development standards to ensure high-quality design of new or expanded facilities and to mitigate against any
Self-Storage Facilities 5
negative impacts that could result from new or remodeled self-storage facilities.
In that event, regulations could be prepared to address site and building design, lot size, setbacks, landscaping, site maintenance, storage of hazardous materials, etc.
LUD Summary and Further Discussion
Overall, LUD was supportive of drafting a better definition of a self-storage facility in order to assist in better regulating where in the City they can establish. However, LUD could not come to a consensus on whether to prohibit all new operations within the City or allow existing facilities to have the ability to redevelop or expand, and directed the item be brought before the City Council for discussion. If the City Council recommends that self-storage facilities only be considered (either by right or conditionally) in the zones that currently allow them, then LUD recommended that design regulations should be created to regulate existing facilities in the event that a facility wanted to redevelop or add on to their facilities.
Requested Council Direction
At this time, staff supports including a clear definition for self-storage in order to assist in regulating establishments within the City. However, staff does not recommend expanding or modifying zones where self-storage facilities are currently permitted; therefore, only allowing self-storage facilities in the zones identified in Table 1 in the attached.
City Council Options
The following outlines the direction that staff is requesting from the Council:
1. Support Staff Recommendation. Does the City Council support not expanding or modifying zones where self-storage facilities are permitted and clearly defining self-storage facilities? This would result in retaining the ability for self-storage facilities in the zones identified in Table 1 to continue, expand or redevelop, and would preclude new self-storage facilities in all other zones that are not identified in the zones listed in Table 1.
If the City Council supports this option, staff recommends that clear design criteria be established that would regulate the expansion, addition, and renovation of the existing self-storage facilities within the zones in Table 1, as well as new facilities within these zones. Potential regulations would include, but are not limited to, building design, street fronting articulation, massing, setbacks, landscaping, site maintenance, storage of hazardous materials, etc. If the City Council supports staff’s recommendations, staff would draft these design criteria and bring them
Self-Storage Facilities 6
to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration in early 2025.
2. Modify Staff Recommendation. Does the City Council support prohibiting all future self-storage facilities or expansions of existing facilities in all zones, including those listed in Table 1? This would cause all existing facilities to become legal non-conforming uses. They would thus be allowed to remain as they are currently constructed, but the facilities would not be able to add on or expand in the future. If the City Council supports modifying staff’s recommendations, such as prohibiting all future facilities, staff would draft language to be included in the Zoning Ordinance that would be brought back to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration in early 2025.
Potential Economic Development Impacts
With limited land/space available across the City in non-residential districts to support commercial and industrial uses, the economic benefits of other commercial or industrial uses likely outweigh the economic benefits of allowing additional selfstorage units in most areas of the City. However, a complete ban on self-storage units could be detrimental to the development opportunity for a few sites along Brentwood Boulevard. For example, there are some parcels along Brentwood Boulevard that are oddly shaped, which are not conducive for traditional commercial development due to the narrow street frontage and lack of overall site visibility. Since retailers and office uses tend to seek sites with frontage and views along commercial corridors where visibility is maximized, these sites have been difficult to develop. Based on the lot depth, a single or multi-story self-storage use to the rear of the property with a commercial or office use along the street frontage may be a viable option in the future through a Specific Plan amendment since self-storage is not currently listed as an allowable use in the Specific Plan.
Drive-through Uses 1
FOCUSED ZONING CODE UPDATE
3. Drive-Through Uses
Background
A. Drive-through Restaurants: Drive-through restaurants first appeared in California in the 1950s. The “eat-in-your-car” model then expanded across the U.S. during the following decades as highways were built, suburbs spread, and new fast-food chains like Jack in the Box, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s popped up.
More recently, drive-throughs became critical for chains during the COVID-19 pandemic, as restaurants shut down indoor seating areas. Drive-through sales reached $133 billion in 2022, an increase of 30% from 2019 pre-pandemic levels, according to Technomic, a restaurant industry consulting firm.
Companies are switching to drive-through models because they are more profitable – smaller than sit-down restaurants, requiring less staff and maintenance. For example, Shake Shack opened its first drive-through locations during the pandemic, while Taco Bell, Chipotle, and other chains opened stores that serve drive-through customers exclusively.
Drive-throughs, however, are often placed along higher-speed arterial roads to capture the greatest amount of vehicle traffic, which means that they can be hot spots for rear-end collisions and “T-bone” accidents from cars turning left out of driveways. Furthermore, if there is a pedestrian or biker on the sidewalk crossing the drive-through entrance, drivers may have less time to brake, increasing the chances of an accident. Drivers moving along arterial roads also typically focus on the road and the cars around them, and are less likely to be on the lookout for pedestrians.
Companies in the fast-food industry are changing their drive-throughs by adding more car lanes to speed up orders and reduce potential problems.
Starbucks is also testing different store models in different areas, such as pickup-only stores, curbside pickup from cars, and drive-throughs. But chains trying to address congestion by adding more lanes may just be encouraging more cars to patronize those establishments.
Drive-through restaurants also do not support neighboring businesses, as people typically simply purchase their food and leave. A better, safer fast-food model may be restaurants with sit-down options that contribute to walkable neighborhoods and that promote pedestrian safety.
B. Other Drive-through Uses: Although less frequent and perhaps with fewer impacts on streets and residential neighborhoods, drive-through uses can also consist of banks, pharmacies, payment windows for utility companies, etc.
Drive-through Uses 2
Analysis
A. General – Drive-through Uses: The anticipated continued demand for drivethrough sites on major arterials has the potential for negative effects throughout the City. These effects may be particularly acute for drive-throughs located adjacent to single-family residential neighborhoods and along major commercial corridors already impacted by high commuter traffic during peak hours.
Sites with proximity to existing residential neighborhoods on the City’s major commercial corridors could result in extended vehicle queueing lines, spillover traffic, and other neighborhood compatibility issues with any new or replacement businesses with drive-throughs.
Locations for drive-through establishments that may be more appropriate include shopping centers and freeway-adjacent lots. Best practices for drive-through design should be incorporated to ensure projects address quality of life issues, sustainability, site design, and avoid negatively affecting pedestrians, safety, and the welfare of the community. New drive-throughs and expansions of existing drive-through facilities should be designed to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses, enhance the streetscape frontage, provide adequate buffers, ensure safe pedestrian accessibility, and include outdoor amenities to service patrons.
B. Existing Regulations: Drive-through uses are permitted in various commercial zones and Planned Development zones across Brentwood following the approval of a conditional use permit (CUP), which provides the City with discretionary review ability to consider each drive-through use application on a case-by-case basis and to apply specific conditions to a project to ensure land use compatibility with the surrounding area. The CUP process also provides opportunities for public participation and input. In many cases, the Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) allows a drive-through use with a CUP if it is related to a permitted land use in a specific zone. For example, BMC § 17.220.003(B) reads:
“The following uses are permitted only on the granting of a conditional use permit pursuant to Chapter 17.830:…
B. Restaurant, on-sale or off-sale liquor, laundromat, laundry or dry cleaning facility, drive-in or drive-thru establishment associated with a permitted use in the zone;”
Note that other sections of the BMC expressly prohibit drive-through uses, particularly drive-through restaurants, in certain Planned Development zones.
Nonetheless, what the Municipal Code does not provide are any regulations for drive-through facilities that address development impacts, operational elements, site and built design elements, and/or safety.
C. Locations: Drive-through uses are allowed in six commercial zoning districts and in certain Planned Development zones as further described below:
Drive-through Uses 3

COB (Commercial Office/Business) CUP
CR (Commercial Residential) CUP

PD-47 (Subareas B and D) CUP
PD-49 (Subareas A) CUP
PD-55 – Subareas A1 and 2 CUP
PD-67 – Subareas A-D CUP
In evaluating the suitability of the land use districts in which drive-through uses are permitted, an argument can be made that the Neighborhood Commercial (C1) zone may not be the most suitable for allowing drive-through facilities and
Drive-through Uses 4
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 drive-through facilities as a conditionally permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial zone will minimize, if not eliminate, any potential conflict between drive-through use operations and sensitive residential receptors. It should be noted that any existing drive-through establishment in this district would be allowed to continue operations as a legal, nonconforming use.
D. Potential Development Standards: The application of development and operational standards for drive-through uses will ensure greater consistency of regulations for new drive-through uses and for the expansion of existing drive-through uses. Of principal concern is the impact of drive-throughs on traffic safety and residential neighborhoods. The development standards identified below will mitigate against the negative impacts that could result from new and remodeled drive-through establishments.
Conditional Use Permit. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall be required to operate a drive-through establishment. Changes to operations for existing drive-through establishments, including but not limited to hours of operation and expansion of the drive-through facility, shall require an amendment to the CUP.
Residential Setback. The drive-through use structure and ordering board shall be located a minimum of one hundred (100) feet from the boundary of any residential zone or PD subarea (excluding mixed-use districts), unless separated by a masonry wall.
Queuing Analysis. 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. Furthermore, vehicles shall not queue onto a public street, alley, driveway, or onto adjacent properties/parcels (without a cross access agreement) not associated with the drive-through use. Separate Waiting Lane. For new drive-throughs, the drive-through lane shall be a separate lane from the circulation routes and aisles necessary for ingress to or egress from the property or access to any off-street parking spaces. Vehicle Stacking. Drive-through ordering menus should be located to allow a minimum of four cars to queue behind the ordering vehicle to prevent vehicles from stacking in the drive aisle of the parking lot. Pedestrian Access and Circulation. Pedestrian access shall be provided from each abutting street to the primary entrance with a continuous four (4) foot-wide minimum sidewalk or delineated walkway. Pedestrian walkways
Drive-through Uses 5
should not intersect the drive-through lane when feasible, but where this cannot be avoided, the walkways shall have clear visibility and shall be delineated by textured and colored paving.
E. Potential Operational Requirements:
Hours of Operation. The hours of operation for a drive-through are limited to 6:00 am to 10:00 pm, unless otherwise approved as part of a Conditional Use Permit.
Ordering Board. The ordering board speaker for the drive-through should be oriented and directed to face away from adjacent residential uses. Noise. Noise levels from speakers shall comply with the City’s noise ordinance outlined in Chapter 9.32 (‘Noise Regulations’) of the Brentwood Municipal Code.
LUD Summary and Further Discussion
Overall, LUD agreed that the Code needed to be updated in order to better address drive-through operations; however, there was not a consensus on how to best address current concerns and whether prohibiting all future drive-throughs was appropriate. LUD directed the item be brought before the entire City Council for further discussion.
Council Direction
In order to move forward with a focused update related to drive-through facilities, staff needs direction on the above recommended development standards and operational requirements for future drive-through establishments. Overall, staff recommends that the City Council consider requiring a Conditional Use Permit for all future drive-through establishments. In addition to requiring a CUP, staff recommends that new development standards be drafted and implemented that include the following items that were previously described:
• Residential Setbacks.
• Queuing Analysis.
• Separate Waiting Lane.
• Vehicle Stacking.
• Pedestrian Access and Circulation.
• Building Design.
Staff does not recommend prohibiting future drive-through uses at this time or modifying zones where drive-throughs are currently conditionally permitted, beyond imposing the standards identified above. Staff believes that with incorporation of the development standards related to the above mentioned items, as well as vetting through the CUP process (including increased public hearing notice requirements of a 1,000 foot radius being brought forward for City Council approval separately) for
Drive-through Uses 6
all future drive-thru facilities, that potential negative impacts of future drive-through uses would be mitigated and adequately addressed during the entitlement process.
City Council Options
The following outlines the options for Council when considering the options:
1. Support Staff Recommendation. If the City Council supports staff’s recommendations, staff will draft final language to be brought to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation before being brought back to the City Council for final approval.
2. Modify Staff Recommendation. If the City Council supports modifying staff’s recommendations, such as adjusting the required residential setbacks or prohibiting all future drive-throughs, the City Council would need to provide clear and concise direction on the proposed changes. Staff would then draft final language to be brought to the Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation before being brought back to the City Council for final approval.
Potential Economic Development Impacts
There are very few parcels available in the City that can support infill drive-through establishments. The Brentwood Boulevard Corridor, which historically functioned as a portion of Highway 4 before the bypass was constructed, served as the primary arterial between Pittsburg and the Delta. Despite the bypass coming on line in phases between 1998 and 2009, Brentwood Boulevard continues to serve as a major northsouth arterial between the communities of Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood and beyond.
While many of the infill sites from Downtown to the City’s border just north of Lone Tree Way, have been set aside for residential development, there remain many smaller parcels fronting the roadway which can support commercial development.
However, due to the limited size of such parcels, it is unlikely that a larger integrated commercial center similar to Sciortino Ranch will be developed south of Lone Tree Way. In addition, many of the remaining parcels lack the depth to offer opportunities to support retail centers. However, there are a few parcels near the City’s southern border (next to Dutch Brothers just south of Balfour Avenue) that could lend themselves to support a drive-through restaurant. In addition, parcels located at the three corners of Brentwood Boulevard and Lone Tree Way could support similar uses.
Other than the Brentwood Boulevard Corridor, there remain very few infill parcels available. Potential infill areas remaining include parcels on the north side of Lone Tree Way between O’Hara Street and Fairview Avenue that could take advantage of the high volume of traffic in the area.
If drive-through establishments were to be prohibited, the development potential for smaller parcels of two acres or less would be greatly diminished and would most likely
Drive-through Uses 7
go undeveloped for the foreseeable future and could potentially become blighted.
Development of these infill parcels would benefit the City, which would gain a mix of property and sales tax revenues as well as employment, both full time and part time, for young adults and residents of the City.
Overall, establishing new development standards and operational restrictions through the Conditional Use Permit process will ensure that design and site layout issues are adequately fulfilled. For example, requiring residential separation requirements for new uses, unless separated by a masonry wall, will help to buffer and reduce potential impacts for adjacent residential uses while allowing direct economic improvements throughout the City. In addition, while the City is always looking for a diverse variety of restaurants or cafe options, allowing additional restaurants to establish second or third such establishment in the city, i.e. Chipotle or Dutch Bros, ultimately serves to reduce vehicle trips across town.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
07/22/2025
SUBJECT: Annexation #17 to Community Facilities District No. 5 DEPARTMENT: Engineering
STAFF: Allen Baquilar, Director of Engineering/City Engineer Debra Galey, Senior Management Analyst
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Hold the public hearing regarding the annexation of territory to the City of Brentwood (“City”) Community Facilities District No. 5 (“CFD No. 5”);
2. Adopt a Resolution determining to annex territory to CFD No. 5 and calling a special election for CFD No. 5;
3. Conduct the special election for the annexation of territory to CFD No. 5; and
4. Adopt a Resolution determining the results of the special election for the annexation of territory to CFD No. 5.
This action has been reviewed under the criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” as codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., and as further governed by the State CEQA Guidelines, found at 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq.) and the City's environmental regulations. The action is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3), as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment because there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT
Annexation of property will provide approximately $33,648 in additional revenue (in Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2024/25 Dollars) for CFD facilities and services on an annual basis, once development occurs. The additional revenue will be transferred annually to the General Fund for public safety services. Funds are deposited with the City by the developers to cover costs associated with the annexation of property into the Community Facilities Districts (“CFDs”).
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
07/22/2025
BACKGROUND
The City Council was scheduled to consider this item at its June 24, 2025 meeting, which was cancelled for lack of a quorum.
CFDs are a funding mechanism for the increased public facilities and services provided by the City necessitated by new development. These facilities and services include:
Public Protection and Safety
Community Amenities (e.g., Community Center and Library) Joint Use School Sites
Flood and Storm Drainage Improvements
Roadway Maintenance
Utility Undergrounding
As a standard condition of approval, all new development is required to mitigate the impacts of each project. As such, many property owners elect to annex into the CFD as a means to fund the services and facilities provided to address the additional growth and associated impacts. Funding is collected by the levying of an annual special tax at a rate that was previously set when the CFD was formed ($909.40/single-family residential parcel, $454.70/multi-family residential unit and $6,793.33/acre non-residential parcels (in FY 2024/25 dollars)). Parcels are eligible to have the special tax be levied against them the FY following the issuance of a building permit.
The proposed boundary and development project of the area to be annexed under Annexation#17 (see Attachment 2). The annexation includes 35 single-family homes developed by Seecon Financial and Constriction Co., north of Lone Tree Way and east of O’Hara Avenue, and 2 single-family homes along Kayla Place south of Sunset Road developed by Stephen Matthias.
The property owners within the annexation boundary have been provided a “Waiver and Consent” form, along with the special election ballot to cast their vote. At the conclusion of the public hearing, a two-thirds majority of the qualified voters returning ballots (and 100% of the consent forms) in the affirmative will allow the completion of the annexation of the properties into CFD No. 5.

PREVIOUS ACTION
Previous Action by the City Council is included as Attachment 1.
DATE OF NOTICE
As required by law, notice of the public hearing to annex territory to CFD. No. 5 was originally published in the Brentwood Press on June 13, 2025 and re-published on July 11, 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action has been reviewed under the criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” as codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., and as further governed by the State CEQA Guidelines, found at 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq.) and the City's environmental regulations. The action is not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3), as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment because there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.
ALTERNATIVE OPTION(S)
1. Do not conduct the election to annex the two (2) new development projects into CFD No. 5. Unless option number two below is elected, this would result in a shortfall of $33,648 to fund the services and facilities provided to address the additional growth and associated impacts of the two (2) projects noted above.
2. Require the development projects to provide an alternate means of funding City services otherwise covered by the CFD provided to address development impacts.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
07/22/2025
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
STAFF: E. Harith Aleem Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation Thien Nguyen, Recreation Manager
Stacey Dempsey, Recreation Supervisor
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the City of Brentwood Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees related to the timing of Consumer Price Index adjustments and revisions to Parks and Recreation fees; and finding that the proposed amendments do not constitute a project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fees contained within this proposed amendment to the Cost Allocation Plan are enacted to cover reasonable costs associated with a particular use and/or service.
Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) fee changes have been taken into consideration within the FY 2025/26 adopted Operating Budget. The attached fees are designed to recover costs for services performed by the City in accordance with Council/Administrative Policy 10-5, Budget and Fiscal Policies.
BACKGROUND
The City Council was scheduled to consider this item at its June 24, 2025 meeting, which was cancelled for lack of a quorum.
Currently, on July 1st of each year, most City fees are adjusted by an amount equal to the percentage of increase (or decrease) in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) - Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California. The Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of seasonal programs and facilities for which the season ends in October, including aquatics programs, as well as swimming pool, ball field, and picnic rentals. So as to not have CPI fee increases occur during the middle of the season, staff brings the proposed
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
07/22/2025
changes before the City Council prior to the adoption of the Cost Allocation Plan (“CAP”) for implementation of the new fees after the conclusion of each seasonal program.
With this Resolution, staff is recommending that all Parks and Recreation fees, except for Recreation Program fees, be increased by the annual CPI rates and that these fees go into effect on November 1st of each year, unless a specific exception is approved by City Council.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, CPI increases were not applied to facility rental fees.
The CPI calculations for those three (3) fiscal years were 0.71%, 4.13%, and 6.53%, respectively, for a total of 11.37%. Based on staff’s recommendation from FY 2024/25 to incrementally apply this deferred increase over five (5) years, the second annual adjustment of 2.274% is now being implemented in FY 2025/26. This adjustment is in addition to the current fiscal year’s CPI, 1.56%, for a total increase of 3.834%, and reflects the ongoing effort to gradually align facility rental fees with inflation impacts previously not applied.
If a potential CPI adjustment makes particular program fees potentially no longer competitive in the market, staff will notify the City Council and provide a recommendation as to how to proceed. Possible recommendations could include keeping the fee as it is with no CPI revision, cease offering a particular program, or offering alternate programs. As required by state law, fees for programs will not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged.
For Parks and Recreation programs, staff recommends maintaining the current fees.
Staff reviews all recreation program fees to ensure compliance with the related cost recovery level as approved by Council/Administrative Policy 10-5, Budget and Fiscal Policies section 5.8 Recreation Programs. Park and Recreation program fees are approved by the Director of Parks and Recreation throughout the year and are published in the quarterly Activities Guide.
Due to lack of interest, staff has removed the Drinking Fountain with Plaque and Picnic Table with Plaque options from the Dedication Trees and Amenities section of the CAP. New options include a pet Mutt Mitt Station, Memorial Rose Bush, and a Plaque with Accessory Slat for Existing Benches. The price of the Memorial Bench has also been adjusted to reflect increased costs. Fees for the Tree and Donor Recognition Leaf, Recognition Memorial Brick, and Bench with Plaque have also been updated to correct an error with the application of last year’s CPI, and apply this year’s CPI adjustment.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.3
07/22/2025
Along with the above revisions, the bingo permit fee should be exempt from a yearly CPI increase and, under California Penal Code 326.5, such fees shall not exceed fifty dollars ($50). (Staff notes that the law provides that an additional fee for law enforcement and public safety costs incurred by the City that are directly related to bingo activities may be imposed and can be collected monthly by the City; however, the fee may not exceed the actual costs incurred in providing the service). Staff’s recommendation continues to be to exempt this fee from the annual CPI increase.
A list of the proposed updated Parks and Recreation fees may be found in Exhibit “A” of the attached resolution.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution amending the City of Brentwood 2023/24 Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees related to the timing of Consumer Price Index adjustments and revisions to Parks and Recreation fees; and finding that the proposed amendments do not constitute a project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.

2. The City Council may also choose to continue this item to a future meeting and direct staff to return with additional information. In this case, Park and Recreation fees would be adjusted based on the current CPI as of July 1. A separate action would then be required for the City Council to consider whether to apply the deferred CPI from the COVID years.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Brentwood that:
Section 1. Findings:
After considering the staff report and supporting data and the testimony received at a public hearing, the Council makes each of the following findings:
A. That the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., and as further governed by the State CEQA Guidelines, found at 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq.) does not apply to the adoption of this Resolution, pursuant to Sections 15061, 15273 and 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because this action 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
B. The purpose of the 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.
C. The staff report, presentation, and testimony establish:
1. That there is a reasonable relationship between the need for each fee and the type of service for which the fee is imposed; and
2. That there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of each fee and the estimated reasonable cost of providing the type of service for which the fee is imposed; and
3. That the cost estimates set forth in the amendments to the 2023/24 Cost Allocation Plan are reasonable and best approximate the direct and indirect (overhead) costs of City staff.
D. The allocation of the cost to each fee payor bears a fair and reasonable relationship to the fee payor’s burdens on, and the benefits received from, the City.
E. The amended fees do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged.
Section 2. Fees Imposed:
A. The Council amends the 2023/24 Cost Allocation Plan as set forth in the attached Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
B. Each person requesting a service in the City of Brentwood for which a fee is imposed pursuant to the report shall pay the fee set forth in the report.
C. For Fiscal Year 2025/26, fees that are not subject to CPI increases are:
Adult Sports, Youth Sports, Creative Activities Play Classes, Pre-School Classes, Creative Activites Arts and Crafts Classes, Teen and Adult Fitness Classes, Youth Dance Classes, Tennis Classes, Gymnastic Classes, Health and Safty Classes, Technology Classes and Camps, Youth Camps, Special Events, Aquatics lessons and programs, and Refundable Deposits.
D. For the Fiscal Years’ following Fiscal Year 2025/26, except as otherwise provided in this resolution or by other action of the City Council, on November 1 of each year, all Parks and Recreation fees not tied to an alternate index and/or requirement will be automatically adjusted by an amount equal to the percentage of increase to the April CPI for the Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, California area, provided that the resulting fee is still no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs to the City to provide the service and the allocation of the cost to the fee payor still bears a fair and reasonable relationship to the fee payor’s burdens on, or the benefits received from, the City.
Section 3. Use of Fee Revenues:
The revenues raised by payment of these fees, along with any interest earned, shall be used to pay for the City’s costs, including without limitation the capital costs and labor and contract costs directly or indirectly associated with providing the requested services.
Section 4. Subsequent Analysis of the Fees:
The fees established herein are adopted and implemented by the City Council in reliance on the Parks and Recreation Program Budget Cost Recovery Worksheets that have been prepared by the City. During the coming years, the City will continue to gather additional information that may affect the nature, scope and type of services to be provided in response to requests of the public.
Section 5. Effective Date of Revised Fees:
Except as otherwise provided, the fees established through this resolution will be effective November 1, 2025.
Section 6. Severability:
Each component of the fees and all portions of this Resolution are severable.
Should any individual component of the fee or other provision of this Resolution be adjudged invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be and continue to be fully effective, and the fee shall be fully effective except as to that portion that has been judged invalid.
Section 7. Statute of Limitations:
Any judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void, or annul the fees established by this Resolution, or the Resolution itself, shall be commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days of the passage of this Resolution. Any action to challenge an adjustment adopted shall be commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days of the adjustment.
Section 8. Prior Resolutions:
Resolution 2023-113 which adopted the 2023/24 Cost Allocation Plan and Schedule of City Fees, remains in full effect except as may be amended by this or any other resolutions of the City Council.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Brentwood at a regular meeting held on the 22

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.4
07/22/2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 2025/26 – 2029/30
DEPARTMENT: Finance and Information Systems
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance and Information Systems Rachel Corona, Accountant II
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving a resolution adopting the 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
FISCAL IMPACT
The associated FY 2025/26 budgets for revenues, appropriations, project funding transfers, and development impact fee revenue and expenditure budgets, as detailed in the 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP, will be amended to incorporate the required budgetary requirements of the CIP.
Future year costs and revenues will be reviewed every year by the City Council as part of the annual update and adoption of a new five-year CIP.
BACKGROUND
The City Council was scheduled to consider this item at its June 24, 2025 meeting, which was cancelled for lack of a quorum.
The City’s CIP is updated and approved annually and outlines the City of Brentwood’s five-year infrastructure and capital planning needs. The proposed 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP includes projects that have been carefully evaluated to ensure: 1) the City’s capital improvement needs are met, both now and in the future, and 2) they support the City’s Mission Statement, General Plan and most recent City of Brentwood Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council in February 2022. An approved five-year CIP also assists in the preparation of the City’s Development Impact Fee Program updates along with Enterprise Rate Studies, which incorporate the City’s future capital needs where applicable.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.4
07/22/2025
In January 2025, the City Council approved the creation of the Budget and Debt Management Ad Hoc Committee (the “Budget Ad Hoc Committee”) to provide oversight and guidance to the budgeting process by providing policy level direction related to the both the City’s Capital and Operating Budgets. On March 7, 2025, City Finance staff met with the Budget Ad Hoc Committee and reviewed preliminary drafts of the CIP project budgets being proposed in the 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP.
On May 13th, 2025, the proposed 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP was presented to the City Council at the CIP Workshop and the draft CIP has been updated to incorporate Council direction from that workshop.
The following changes have been made to the proposed 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP since the May 13th workshop:
Projects added:
o Brentwood Boulevard Wastewater Rehabilitation –This project includes rehabilitation or replacing of approximately 2,600 linear feet of an existing sanitary sewer main along Brentwood Boulevard. o Citywide Non-Potable Water Distribution System – The remaining portion of this project consists of upgrades to one of the City’s recycled water pump stations in order to meet the growing demand for nonpotable water. o Solid Waste Carts Upgrade – This project will upgrade garbage and yard waste carts to keep the City in compliance with the State’s mandatory organic waste collection regulations.
o Water Operations Storage Building – This project is to construct a new 5,000 square foot pre-fabricated metal shell storage building at the Municipal Service Center to provide the necessary storage space in a centralized, easily accessible location.
Project withdrawn:
o Public Works Corporation Yard Security Improvements – This project was withdrawn and a modified version of the project will be submitted at a later date.
Changes to projects:
o Balfour Road Wastewater Rehabilitation – Updated the name of the project. In previous versions, this project had been named Balfour Road Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation.
o City Facility Audiovisual System Upgrade (CIP #337-37259) – Funding and expenditure budgets have been updated to match amended amounts approved by the City Council on May 27, 2025.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.4
07/22/2025
o Innovation Center @ Brentwood – Updated funding to reduce Capital infrastructure funding and increase Grant funding for $300,000 in Local Early Action Planning grant funds allocated to this project. The Brentwood Boulevard Beautification project was added as a future improvement, which is planned, but currently unfunded. This project will construct and install elements for the beautification of Brentwood Boulevard between Downtown and Sunset Road.
Other changes since the workshop include minor verbiage updates and typographical corrections. The CIP is attached to this staff report as Exhibit “A”.
At the May 27th, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to release the remaining funding in the Parking Garage Security and Safety Enhancements project. This project will be included in the Future Improvements section of next year’s CIP document, the 2026/27 – 2030/31 CIP.
On June 3rd, 2025, the proposed 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP was presented to the Planning Commission for that body’s determination of consistency with the City’s General Plan.

Transmittal Letter
June 2025
The Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of Brentwood Brentwood, California 94513
Dear Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of Brentwood:
We are pleased to submit the 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) outlining the City of Brentwood’s five-year infrastructure and capital planning needs. This document is prepared separately from the City’s Operating Budget in order to provide a more thorough and detailed description of the City capital improvement projects contained within. The CIP projects have been carefully evaluated to ensure: 1) the City’s capital improvement needs are met, both now and in the future and 2) they support the City’s Mission Statement, General Plan and most recent City of Brentwood Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council in February 2022.
The approved City of Brentwood General Plan and Strategic Plan can be found on the City’s website at http://www.brentwoodca.gov.
Budget Overview
The CIP contains 56 City capital improvement projects with a total projected cost of $341,297,422 and appropriates a budget of $56,184,335 of funding for fiscal year (FY) 2025/26.
Major funding sources within the CIP change year-over-year. In FY 2025/26, the top four proposed budget funding categories (excluding California State Water Resources Control Board Revolving Fund (“SRF”) Loan funding), in order, are: Enterprise, Development Impact Fees, Replacement, and Federal/State/Agency.
Descriptions of Key Funding Sources begin on page 22 and a complete guide to City funds can be found beginning on page 144.
The chart on the following page shows the funding trends of the various CIP funding categories for FYs 2022/23 through 2025/26. The amounts shown through FY 2024/25 are the Council approved budget and the proposed CIP funding is shown for FY 2025/26.

Transmittal Letter
Enterprise funding is the largest funding source for FY 2025/26, which comes from the Solid Waste, Water and Wastewater Enterprises along with their respective replacement funds. Enterprise funds continue to be a major funding source as several Water and Wastewater upgrade and replacement projects have been budgeted to begin or continue in FY 2025/26. With the Brentwood Wastewater Treatment Plant beginning operations in 2002 and the Water Treatment Plant in 2008, the City is also seeing the need for more upgrades and replacement of various enterprise infrastructure as these facilities age.
The City’s enterprise utility rates are set in accordance with Proposition 218, which requires that rate revenues not exceed the cost of providing service and also provides customers the opportunity to provide input on the proposed rates. Rate studies are conducted periodically to ensure the enterprise rates are sufficient to cover:
operating expenses; upgrades and costs associated with meeting State and Federal guidelines and regulations; as well as, all needed capital improvements. Five-year rate studies are developed to include future enterprise capital project costs. The City Council’s approval of enterprise rates for a five-year period provide the funding for anticipated capital improvements in the enterprises. The City’s most recently adopted rate studies cover FY 2023/24 through FY 2027/28.
Development impact fees are the next largest funding source for FY 2025/26. These fees are received as new development permits are issued and can only be used to fund public facilities and infrastructure that are needed as a result of new development. As the City approaches build-out, the need for new infrastructure will decline, resulting in a shift away from development impact fee funding. 7 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Transmittal Letter
Federal/State/Agency funding is another large funding source for FY 2025/26. This funding is typically provided by Federal, State or Agency Programs usually in conjunction with, or as a match to, some other form of funding. This funding is often in the form of grants or low interest loans. Capital projects funded by Federal/State/Agency funding include the new Countywide Smart Signals project.
Non-Enterprise Replacement funding is another large funding source for FY 2025/26. These funds are set aside for replacement of capital assets and infrastructure. Funding is provided from the Information Systems, Facilities and Parks and LLAD Replacement Funds.
The City has also historically accessed the credit markets to finance large capital projects. As a result of strong fiscal policies adopted by the City Council, the City has built and maintained an excellent reputation in the credit markets and currently has a bond issuer credit rating of “AA” from Standard and Poor’s (S&P) ratings service. The City’s strong credit ratings have continued to provide attractive financing and refunding opportunities that can provide additional funding sources for projects.
CIP Accomplishments
Each year the CIP has proven to be successful in achieving various capital improvement accomplishments.
Some of the significant accomplishments completed in FY 2024/25 include:
Roadway Improvements
Sand Creek Road Extension (CIP #336-31700) – This project extended Sand Creek Road from westerly of the existing terminus at State Route 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road, approximately 2,300 LF.
The improvements included constructing the central section of roadway, streetlights, wet and dry utilities, full width bridge across Sand Creek, and related work linking State Route 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road.

This project will include a corresponding environmental review document for CEQA compliance. The City Council recognized this project as necessary to make the City's Zoning Ordinance consistent with the General Plan. Funding Sources: General Fund, Federal/State/Agency
Focus Area 5: Parks & Recreation Services
Sand Creek Sports Complex (CIP #352-52446) – Sand Creek Sports Complex Site I consists of the design and construction of the 14.50 acres of City owned property identified as the future Sand Creek Sports Complex. Site I will include 3 full size soccer fields that will also be lined for lacrosse, a parking lot, restrooms, picnic area and other possible park amenities including pickle ball courts, basketball courts, exercise equipment and playground. Site II is made up of the Contra Costa County Flood Control detention basin, which consists of 19.24 acres, and will potentially add 2 soccer fields. Funding Sources: General Fund, Development Impact Fees, Bond Proceeds, Bond Refinance Savings Vineyards at Marsh Creek - Event Center/Amphitheater Phase I (CIP# 337-37231) – The full project will ultimately include construction of an outdoor amphitheater and supporting structures and amenities. Phase I of the Project is currently in the design process and has been revised to consist of a parking lot and event lawn area. Phase II would expand to a 750-seat Amphitheater, box office with amenities and Phase III would include an event center. Design on Phase I has commenced and construction is estimated to begin in Summer 2026. Funding Sources: Public Art Acquisition Fund, Vineyards Event Center Fund, Vineyards Project Fund – all funded by new development All other projects in the 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP support the City’s General Plan and Mission Statement, “Bringing Brentwood’s Vision to Reality.” Several notable projects are described below:
Basketball Court Lighting – Homecoming & Windsor Parks (CIP #352-52453) – This project will explore the feasibility of adding court lighting on the Windsor Way Park and Homecoming Park basketball courts. Analysis includes a review of the neighborhood park and community park guidelines, Municipal Code guidelines, available parking, estimated cost, environmental review process and any other neighborhood considerations that will help the City Council assess the feasibility of adding lights to the basketball courts. Funding Sources: General Fund Countywide Smart Signals – This project will develop, manage, and implement Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) initiatives that improve the safety and efficiency of multimodal mobility, maximize highway and arterial system throughput, and improve operational efficiency, safety, and reduce environmental impact throughout the county. In the City, improvements planned may include 10 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program

upgraded Traffic Signal Controllers and Cabinets, Transit Signal Priority, Emergency Vehicle Preemption, and Traffic Signal Synchronization for 11 intersections along Brentwood Boulevard and 4 intersections along Lone Tree Way for a total of 15 intersections. Funding Sources: Federal/State Funding, General Fund
Fleet Electrification (CIP #337-37265) – New regulations requiring public fleets to be converted to electric vehicles, make it necessary to design and install charging stations and other related infrastructure at City facilities for the charging of government-owned electric and plug in hybrid vehicles. This project will install improvements related to the utilities (electricity) and equipment required at the Corporation Yard. Funding Source: Enterprise, Federal/State/Agency, General Fund Heron Park Playground Replacement – The project will replace play equipment in Heron Park. The resilient safety surfacing in playground areas will also be renovated. Funding Source: Parks and LLAD Replacement
Lone Tree Way Roadway Improvements (CIP #336-31701) – Phase 2 of this project will provide for the undergrounding of the overhead utilities, installing a traffic signal at Smith Road and Lone Tree Way, continue infrastructure and pedestrian improvements not performed in Phase 1 due to PG&E lines, and widening of Lone Tree Way after right-of-way acquisition. This project is mandatory to support a new K-8 school anticipated to open in July 2024. A portion of the project is currently unfunded. Phase 2 design is underway and construction is anticipated to begin in FY 2025/26.
Funding Sources: Development Impact Fees; Unfunded
Pavement Management Program – 2026 –The City's pavement management software and engineers selects those streets on which it is the most cost effective and beneficial to perform preventative maintenance, and is confirmed with a field verification by staff. The annual pavement management program funds the full depth reconstruction, overlaying, surface sealing and crack sealing of the selected roads. Constructing roadways is a significant investment for the City.
Preventative maintenance is the best means for keeping this large investment in good, operable condition and avoids costly reconstruction. The Pavement Management Program also funds the reconstruction of sidewalk, curb and gutter. The reconstruction helps remove tripping hazards and upgrades the infrastructure to be ADA compliant. Funding Sources: General Fund, Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)
Public Art Spaces (CIP #337-37244) – This project consists of the installation of monuments at select locations throughout the City. The project’s purpose is to improve the identity of the City at high traffic areas. Two installation sites identified are: the median at Sand Creek Road in front of the Streets of Brentwood; and Brentwood Boulevard adjacent to the Police Station. Installation of the project adjacent to the Police Station is anticipated in late 2025. Installation of the project in the Sand Creek Road median is anticipated in late 2026. Funding Sources: Capital Infrastructure; Public Art Acquisition; Public Art Administration
Solid Waste Carts Upgrade – This project is necessary to keep the City in compliance with California Senate Bill 1383 (SB1383). This new mandate requires the City to move food waste from the garbage cart to the yard waste cart, to update the cart labeling on the lid and to ensure all three cart colors match the state’s preferred color scheme. The project would replace solid waste cart lids with updated lids, ensuring the City is in compliance with SB1383. Funding Source: Enterprise Stonehaven Park Playground Replacement – The project will replace play equipment at Stonehaven Park. The resilient safety surfacing in playground areas will also be renovated. Funding Source: Parks and LLAD Replacement

Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion - Phase II (CIP #592-59140) – The existing 5 MGD tertiary treatment facility was planned and constructed to accommodate future expansions, of up to 10 MGD.
The original facility was designed based on 100 GPD per capita flow but the average flow in the last several years has been 69 GPD per capita. The Phase II Expansion is designed to treat 6.4 MGD flow based on 69 GPD per capita, which will service the final buildout population of the City per the current General Plan. The project includes the addition of one diffused aeration basin, one secondary clarifier, retrofit of existing oxidation ditches, converting chlorine contact facilities to free chlorine disinfection, solids dryer and pyrolysis system, Electrical Distribution System Upgrade and related appurtenances.
This project is necessary to keep the City in compliance with more stringent discharge requirements.
The expansion will also accommodate the planned and approved development within the City.
Funding Sources: Development Impact Fees, Enterprise, Federal/State/Agency Legislative Issues Affecting the Capital Budget
The City’s Capital Improvement Program was developed with consideration for the most recent legislative actions which will impact the City.
In 2016 the State Legislature Passed Senate
Bill (SB) 1383 which requires the separation of
food waste and organics from garbage
collection. The regulations associated with SB
1383 began on January 1, 2022, with
compliance requirements being phased in. By
2025, SB 1383 requires a 75% reduction in the
disposal of organic waste. The new mandate
also requires the City to move food waste
from the garbage cart to the yard waste cart,
to update the cart labeling on the lid and to
ensure all three cart colors match the state’s
preferred color scheme. The Solid Waste Carts
Upgrade project is included in this CIP, and
will ensure compliance with these regulations.
In September 2020, the State of California, by Executive Order N-79-20, set a goal that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks be zero-emission by 2035; as well as medium and heavy-duty trucks by 2045 for all operations where feasible. In April 2023, the California Air Resources Board approved the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation, which is incorporated into the California Government Code. The regulation requires 50% of fleet vehicles purchased with a gross vehicular weight rating of >8,500 pounds beginning in 2024 to be zero emission vehicles (ZEV), with 100% of purchases being ZEV beginning in 2027. The City’s Fleet Electrification project has been incorporated into this CIP to begin the necessary infrastructure improvements needed to comply with this regulation.
While the City has not historically received a large amount of Federal Funding, current legislative and budgetary deliberations in Congress may also impact the City’s Capital Budget either directly, or indirectly through fewer State grant opportunities.

Conclusion
The City Council’s strategic planning process focuses on our ability to continue providing great quality of life to our residents, businesses and visitors. The City’s Capital Improvement Program plans and provides for amenities and infrastructure core to this quality of life. This could not be achieved without the City Council’s vision for the future and attention to fiscal policies that will assure long-term sustainability.
I would like to express my appreciation to all of the City of Brentwood staff members who have taken the time to develop this report. A great deal of effort and attention to detail has gone into the preparation of this document, representing many hours of work throughout the organization.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESULUTION NO. 25-011
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD RECOMMENDING FINDING THAT THE PROPOSED 2025/26 – 2029/30 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN AND SPECIFIC PLANS OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD AS REQUIRED BY SECTIONS 65401-65403 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE WHEREAS, Sections 65401-65403 of the Government Code require the Planning Commission of cities and counties to review any proposed Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) in its jurisdiction for conformance with the agency’s adopted General Plan and Specific Plans; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has been furnished a copy of and reviewed the CIP for conformity with the City of Brentwood General Plan, as adopted July 22, 2014, and as amended from time to time thereafter (the “General Plan”); and
WHEREAS, the projects proposed in the CIP reflect the need for roadways, public utilities, and other community facilities during the next five years in concert with anticipated growth areas as noted in the adopted General Plan and Specific Plans and otherwise are consistent with the policies and requirements of the General Plan and Specific Plans; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the determination of whether the CIP is consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plans is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3) since it is not a “project” that will have a direct or indirect effect on the environment, and even if it was considered a project, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Planning Commission’s General Plan consistency determination may have a significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Brentwood:
1. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP is consistent with the adopted General Plan and Specific Plans and that any acquisition or disposition of real property required to effectuate the CIP is consistent with the General Plan. Specifically, among other things, the 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP conforms to the following General Plan goals and policies:
a. Goal CSF 1: Provide high quality community services and facilities to all residents, businesses, and visitors in Brentwood. The 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP facilitates realization of this goal by, among other things, including the Brentwood Boulevard Widening North – Phase I project for widening approximately 500’ of Brentwood Boulevard and including bicycle and pedestrian improvements, which will serve residents, businesses, and visitors alike by improving safety and traffic flow (CIP #336- 31620).
b. Goal CSF 2: Maintain a diverse and comprehensive system of high quality parks, trails, recreation facilities, and recreational programs and services that meets the needs of all segments of the community. The 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP includes plans for the Sand Creek Sports Complex project, site I which covers the design and construction of the 14.5 acres of City owned property identified as the future Sand Creek Sports Complex. It is anticipated that the complex will include three full size soccer fields that will also be lined for lacrosse, a parking lot, restrooms, picnic area and other possible park amenities like pickle ball courts, basketball courts, exercise equipment and playground. Site II, currently unfunded, will potentially add two soccer fields. This high quality sports facility will be a benefit to all members of the community (CIP #352-52446). c. Policy CIR 1-1: Ensure that the City’s circulation network is maintained and improved over time to support buildout of the General Plan in a manner that is consistent with the General Plan Roadways 17 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program

Map. The 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP includes the Lone Tree Way Roadway Improvements project which will construct the following infrastructure and pedestrian safety improvements on Smith Road, O’Hara Lane, and Lone Tree Way: widening and construction of sidewalk, curb and gutter, conversion of overhead utility lines to underground, extension of the storm drain system including constructing a bio retention, installation of a new rectangular rapid flashing beacon and a new traffic signal (CIP #336-31701).
d. Policy CIR 1-9: Provide high quality regular maintenance for existing and future transportation facilities including streets, sidewalks, and paths. The 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP includes the Pavement Management Program – 2025 which consists of rehabilitation of existing pavement, sidewalk, driveway approaches, curb and gutter. Roadways are identified through a pavement condition survey conducted every two years, allowing the City to continue to provide regular maintenance for existing transportation facilities; keep this large investment in good, operable condition; and avoid costly reconstruction (CIP #336-31704).
2. This determination of consistency is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 because it is not a “project” as it does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Further, this determination is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Planning Commission’s General Plan consistency determination may have a significant effect on the environment pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
3. It is hereby ordered that this resolution be forwarded to the City Council for its information in conjunction with its consideration of the CIP.
The above actions are final unless an appeal is filed pursuant to Chapter 17.880 of the Brentwood Municipal Code within ten (10) calendar days following Planning Commission action.

18 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
The City of Brentwood ("City") prepares an annual CIP document that addresses the City's infrastructure needs and outlines a comprehensive capital plan for the City. This document is prepared separately from the two-year Operating Budget in order to provide a more thorough and detailed description of the capital improvement projects contained within. This document was prepared in accordance with standards established by the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO).
The CIP is used as a planning tool by the City to identify the capital improvement needs of the City and align those needs with the appropriate timing and financing in a way that assures the most responsible and efficient use of resources. The Capital Budget is the first year of the CIP and consists of the planned project funding and expenditures for FY 2025/26. The Capital Budget is incorporated into the Operating Budget, which appropriates funds for specific programs and projects. The projected expenditures shown for the remaining four fiscal years are provided primarily for project planning and financial budgeting purposes and do not necessarily reflect a commitment of funds, unless the project is labeled as multi-year.
A capital project typically involves the purchase or construction of major fixed assets such as land, infrastructure, buildings and any permanent improvement including additions, replacements and major alterations having a long life expectancy. Additionally, capital projects may apply to: 1) expenditures, which take place over two or more years and require continuing appropriations beyond a single fiscal year, 2) systematic acquisitions over an extended period of time or 3) scheduled replacement or maintenance of specific elements of physical assets. Generally, items costing $10,000 or more are considered as capital purchases, although not all capital purchases are included in the CIP. Some capital purchases are budgeted directly in the Operating Budget, such as routine vehicle and equipment replacement purchases. For informational purposes, capital projects may also referred to as capital facilities, CIP projects and capital improvement projects.
The five-year CIP is reviewed annually to enable the City Council to reassess projects in the program. An alphabetical listing of all the City’s CIP projects can be found on page 152. 19 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
Future Annual Operating and Maintenance (O & M) Impact represents the change in future annual operating and maintenance costs due to a project. These estimated costs are generally operational expenses associated with the completed project, such as the cost of inspection, cleaning, repairs, utility charges and licensing fees. Funding for these costs come from a variety of sources, depending on the project. Some projects may generate operational savings due to increased efficiency or lower maintenance costs. A summary of the Future Annual O & M Impact (in current dollars) for the five-year CIP is shown below:
Basis of Accounting
This CIP uses accounting methods consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The City’s accounting records are maintained on the Accrual Basis, or Modified Accrual Basis, as appropriate.
Budgets are prepared, and expenditures recorded, at the object level. All project costs are based on current year dollars although, given recent economic conditions and rising construction costs, the potential for further increases in project costs have been taken into consideration, as appropriate. For reference, the average annual increase in the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index for the five years ended June 30, 2024 was 4.6%.
How the Capital Improvement Program is Developed
The CIP is developed as a coordinated effort between numerous City staff including the CIP Project Managers, the CIP Executive Committee, which is made up of the City Manager, Director of Engineering/City Engineer and the City Treasurer/Director of Finance and Information Systems, and various support staff.
Projects designated as part of the City’s Strategic Plan are included in the CIP. Other projects are submitted by the CIP Project Managers to the CIP Executive Committee based on perceived need and feasibility of the project. The CIP Executive Committee meets with Project Managers and Finance staff to evaluate those projects based on need and available funding.
Some projects have specified funding sources, such as assessment districts or special fees and are generally recommended for funding. However, some projects may compete for limited funding dollars. These projects are prioritized by the CIP Executive Committee and support staff. The list is then compared to available staffing and dollars and as many projects as feasible are proposed to be funded, with any remaining projects designated as unfunded. City projects that are not funded are listed in the Future Improvements section.
Roadway Improvements $ 252,000
Parks and Trails Improvements 128,125
Water Improvements 72,000
Wastewater Improvements 621,000
Community Facilities Improvements 55,000
TOTAL 1,128,125 $
Future Annual O & M Impact
20 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
The next step in the development of the CIP is for the proposed program to be presented to the City Council Budget and Debt Management Ad-Hoc Committee for review. Next, the proposed CIP is presented to the City Council at an annual CIP Workshop. The CIP Workshop is a public meeting intended to receive both City Council and resident input on the proposed CIP, which is subsequently incorporated into the CIP document in accordance with City Council direction. The CIP document is then reviewed by the Planning Commission for determination of General Plan conformance. Finally, the draft document is presented to the City Council at a public meeting for final approval.
How the Capital Improvement Program is Prioritized
The prioritization of proposed CIP projects is critical in determining which projects will be included in the five-year program planning period. Factors such as Federal, State and safety regulations, demands due to increased population, potential for increased efficiencies, maintenance of existing service levels and funding availability are all analyzed. Additionally, projects defined as a part of the City’s Strategic Plan are given high priority.
The CIP uses the following priority levels to determine when projects will be funded. A Summary of Capital Improvement Projects by Priority can be found on page 41.
Priority Level: 1 Mandatory – Projects in the Level 1 priority status are the highest priority projects. These projects must be completed for one of the following reasons:
A. Ongoing Projects – Projects under construction should be funded to maintain continuity.
B. Legal/Regulatory Obligations – Projects in this category are required by Federal, State, County or other municipal requirements.
C. Safety Obligations – Projects are required to ensure the safety of the citizens.
D. Development – Projects are required due to City growth as a result of development.
E. Consensus Priority – Projects identified by City Council as “consensus priority”. This includes projects identified in the City’s two-year strategic plan.
Priority Level: 2 Necessary – Level 2 priority categories include:
A. Development – Projects which will be funded entirely with Development Impact Fee funds are subject to fluctuations in the balance of these funds.
B. Agency Assisted – Any project that relies on outside agencies for funding will be subject to prioritization by these agencies.
C. Service Increase/Maintenance – Projects which increase the efficiency of City systems or maintain the existing service levels of City systems.
Priority Level: 3 Desirable – Level 3 priority categories include:
A. Aesthetic Improvements – Any project which enhances the appearance of City facilities.
B. Any project which does not meet any of the above criteria.
21 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
How the Capital Improvement Program is Funded
Funding Analysis
In developing the CIP, the City prepares an in-depth analysis of the impacts on the various revenue sources associated with the funding of the CIP projects. The City’s first priority in capital funding is to utilize a longrange plan to pay-as-you-go from existing revenue streams and funds that have been reserved over the years. Occasionally, projects are funded in advance on the basis of projected revenues being collected in ensuing years. Also, loan funding may be utilized for larger infrastructure projects in order to provide predictable future cash out flows in the funds responsible for repaying the loans. This type of fiscal management is necessary to support the infrastructure needed to accommodate planned development.
Project Funding Limitations
Many of the CIP projects are funded from restricted funding sources. The restrictions vary, as do the projects. Some funds are restricted to a particular development and any improvements within that area, while other funds are limited to a CIP category. An example would be the Parks and Trails Development Impact Fee funding source. This funding source is primarily fees paid by developers to mitigate the impact that development will have on the Parks and Trails system within the City. A fee is established for the specific impact the development will create. The collected fee will remain in the Parks and Trails Development Impact Fee Fund until a park or trail project has been approved. This money is specifically earmarked for park or trail improvements and cannot be used for other CIP category projects.
Capital Improvement Program Key Funding Sources
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Major ongoing revenue sources for the General Fund are: Property Tax; Sales Tax; Community Facilities District (CFD) Assessments; Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Tax; Development Revenue; Parks and Recreation Property Tax; Gas Tax; Parks and Recreation Program Fees and Franchise Fees.
Development Impact Fees
Development impact fees are charged by local governmental agencies in connection with approval of development projects. The purpose of these fees is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project. The legal requirements for enactment of a development impact fee program are set forth in Government Code §§ 66000-66025 (the "Mitigation Fee Act"), the bulk of which was adopted as 1987’s AB 1600 and thus commonly referred to as “AB 1600 requirements”.
In Brentwood, development impact fees are collected, pursuant to the City’s Development Fee Program, at the time a building permit is issued for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on the City’s infrastructure. Development impact fees have historically been a major source of funding for large capital infrastructure projects and will continue to be a key funding source for the remaining infrastructure project needs as a result of new development.
22 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
The City’s Development Fee Program includes the current development fee schedule as well as all future projects included in the program. A copy of the Development Fee Program can be found on the City’s website at www.brentwoodca.gov. Adjustments to the fees are made annually in accordance with the ENR Construction Cost Index and comprehensive updates to the program are completed on an as-needed basis to ensure the program continues to reflect the appropriate fees in relation to updated costs.
Below is the schedule of development impact fees as of July 1, 2024.
As these fees are received solely from new development, it is necessary to project future development in order to determine the amount of fees available for the funding of projects in this CIP. The Building Permit Projections, on page 32, forecast development activity for the next five years and include residential, commercial, office and industrial development. This forecast is used to generate development impact fee projections over the five-year program period.
On the following page is a schedule that shows the projected five-year Development Impact Fee balances by type of project. The projected balances are made up of the following:
Revenues – The Development Impact Fee revenues are estimated by multiplying the projected number of single and multi-family residences and planned square footage of commercial, office and industrial projects by year, found on page 32, by the projected Development Impact Fees that each is expected to generate. Interest income and other income due to the Development Impact Fee Funds are added to the revenues.
Developer Credits – Developer credits are projected Development Impact Fee reimbursements, also known as credits, due to developers for the cost of improvements that are in excess of what is required for their development. Reimbursements are approved by Council through a Reimbursement Agreement with the developer.
Expenditures – The expenditures include the estimated costs of capital projects, administration and bond debt service or loan agreement payments.

24 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
Enterprise
The City provides residents with Solid Waste, Water and Wastewater services. The charges for these services (user fees), along with the costs for providing the services and necessary capital improvements, are accounted for in individual Enterprise Funds. These funds do not receive any transfers from the General Fund and must be self-supporting.
The Enterprise user fees are set in accordance with Proposition 218, which requires customers be given the opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed rates. Rate studies are conducted periodically to ensure the Enterprise rates are sufficient to cover: operating expenses; capital improvements; upgrades and costs associated with meeting both State and Federal guidelines and regulations. The most recent rate study was approved by City Council in June 2023 which adopted rates for fiscal years 2023/24 through 2027/28. These rates are structured to provide the Enterprise Funds with sufficient revenues to cover both operating and capital costs and ensure the Enterprise remains self-supporting.
The Solid Waste, Water and Wastewater Enterprises or their Replacement funds are the source of funding for several projects within this CIP. Projects which identify Enterprise as a funding source are required to provide detailed information in the Supplemental Information section of each project sheet.
Federal/State/Agency
Funding that is provided by Federal, State or Agency Programs is usually in conjunction with, or as a match to, some other form of funding. This funding is often in the form of grants or low interest loans. See the State Loans and Bonds section on the following page for additional information on State loans.
Development Contributions
Development contributions are funds collected from developers, separate from impact fees, and placed into deposit accounts, which pay for plan checking, Right-of-Way (ROW) and construction management, as well as the developer’s portion of the construction projects.
Replacement
The Replacement funds account for replacement of capital assets and infrastructure. Funding from the Vehicle and Equipment, Information Systems, Facilities and Parks and LLAD Replacement Funds is reported here. Enterprise Replacement funding is reported under Enterprise funding.
Other
An explanation is provided in the Supplemental Information for projects which have funding from sources other than those defined above. Examples of “Other” funding include:
Bond Proceeds – See State Loans and Bonds section on the following page. Capital Infrastructure – Funding to be used for non-residential development related infrastructure projects with a focus on projects that may promote economic development. Public Art Acquisition – This fund accounts for public art development fees to be used for the acquisition and construction of Public Art.
25 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account – Funding provided by State legislation, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill 1 (Beall). Some allowable uses of these funds include: street and road maintenance and rehabilitation; safety projects; railroad grade separations and traffic control devices.
Vineyards Event Center – This fund accounts for development fees collected for the design and construction of a Vineyards Event Center.
Vineyards Projects – This fund accounts for transactions related to proceeds from assessment bonds and other resources and their use to finance infrastructure improvements within the Vineyards development area.
State Loans and Bonds
In order for the City to meet or exceed the existing demands on the infrastructure associated with growth, historically the City has used State Loans, Revenue Bonds, Project Lease Revenue Bonds and Lease Financing to fund some of the largest CIP projects. Described below is the financing source used to fund projects in the 2025/26 – 2029/30 CIP.
State Water Resources Control Board Revolving Fund Loan – The SRF loan program offers low cost financing for various types of water quality projects. In December 2019, the State approved an agreement with the City for utilization of the SRF to fund the Wastewater Treatment Plant – Phase II Expansion project. The final loan amount will be dependent upon final project costs, up to the maximum loan amount, with the loan to be repaid by a combination of Wastewater Development Impact Fees and Wastewater Enterprise funds over 30 years at a low interest rate of 1.3%.
Future Financing and Alternate Funding
The CIP includes numerous projects that are either partially or fully unfunded, many of which are contingent on the growth of the City and the demands on the current infrastructure. The majority of the unfunded projects can be found in the Future Improvements section beginning on page 121. City staff actively pursues alternate funding sources for all unfunded projects, which may include: internal loans from other City funds; Federal/State/Agency grant funding; State Revolving Fund loans; Enterprise Revenue Bonds; General Obligation Bonds or savings generated from refunding current bonds.
How the Capital Improvement Program is Managed
The CIP Executive Committee and City staff manages the CIP on an ongoing basis throughout the fiscal year, providing progress reports to the City Council when needed, evaluating new opportunities and resolving issues. Following are some activities related to the management of the CIP:
Authorizing the start of new projects – New CIP projects, with funding identified in the current fiscal year, must be approved by the CIP Executive Committee before work can begin. The CIP Executive Committee confirms funding and staffing are available and the need for the project still exists before authorizing the project.
Project funding and expenditures are managed using the project tracking capabilities of the City’s financial software. Project budgets, timelines, and detailed information are managed using project management software.
Oversight of the Capital Infrastructure Fund to ensure the funds are used for infrastructure projects and costs related to economic development activities throughout the City and not for ongoing operating expenses.
26 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
Multi-Year Projects – The projected expenditures shown for fiscal years 2025/26 – 2029/30 are provided primarily for project planning and financial budgeting purposes and do not reflect a commitment of funds past the first fiscal year of the plan unless the project is designated as a multiyear project. In these cases, City Council has authorized either the City Manager or the City Treasurer/Director of Finance and Information Systems to approve project budget adjustments between fiscal years without having to return to City Council for budget amendment approval as long as the amendments stay within the overall project budget. Following are the multi-year projects within this CIP:
a) Canal Replacement Cost Share – Segment 5
b) City Facility Audiovisual System Upgrade
c) Citywide Access Control System Upgrade
d) Citywide Non-Potable Water Distribution System
e) Downtown Public WiFi Upgrade
f) Innovation Center @ Brentwood Infrastructure
g) Irrigation Controllers
h) Lone Tree Way Roadway Improvements
i) Pavement Management Program - 2025
j) Pavement Management Program – 2026
k) Public Art Spaces
l) Sand Creek Sports Complex
m) Solid Waste Carts Upgrade
n) Vineyards at Marsh Creek - Event Center/Amphitheater Phase I o) Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion - Phase II
p) Water and Wastewater SCADA System Upgrade
Rollover Projects – When projects are in-progress, but not fully completed by the end of the budgeted fiscal year, the project’s remaining expenditure budget may rollover into the following fiscal year to allow for project completion.
Strategic Initiative Projects – Similar to multi-year projects, two fiscal years’ expenditures are approved as part of the Strategic Plan process.
Capital projects often span multiple years with the budgets for the funding of the projects approved annually through the Capital Improvement Program or Operating Budget process. Given this process, the funding of capital projects are often in different Operating Budget years than the completion of the project. When a project is completed, any project savings are returned to the original funding source.
After a CIP and the associated budget is adopted there may be a need to either increase a project budget or add a new project to the CIP prior to the next CIP cycle. In these cases, project managers, upon authorization from their Director, submit a staff report to City Council for approval. If the City Council approves the request for a budget amendment, Finance and Information Systems will increase the budget for that project. Upon City Council approval of a new project, Finance and Information Systems will amend the current CIP to include the new project and associated budget.
When a project is complete and ready to be closed, the project manager will complete a Project Closure Form and submit it to Finance and Information Systems. Finance and Information Systems will: 1) close all 27 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program
Overview
open purchase orders; 2) make the necessary entries to return any remaining funds back to the appropriate accounts and 3) close the project accounts.
How the Capital Improvement Program is Organized
The projects in the CIP are categorized in the following manner: Roadway Improvements, Parks and Trails Improvements, Water Improvements, Wastewater Improvements, Community Facilities Improvements, Future Improvements and Development Improvements.
Roadway Improvements
Roadway Improvements include construction of new streets, reconstruction of existing streets and provisions for the widening of existing thoroughfares including the acquisition of ROW, traffic signals and other related traffic capacity and safety needs.
Parks and Trails Improvements
The improvements relative to Parks and Trails include implementation of various park plans and trail links along creeks and waterways. The upgrading and addition of further improvements to existing facilities is also included in this section.
Water Improvements
Potable drinking water, and its delivery to the residents of Brentwood, is the primary purpose of these projects. Items such as major transmission mains, new water sources, booster stations, water wells, reservoirs and treatment facilities are represented in this section.
Wastewater Improvements
This section includes projects which accept wastewater and ensure delivery to the wastewater treatment plant. Items include both existing and proposed sanitary sewer pipes and lift stations. Treatment plant expansion and capacity, non-potable water projects, and the disposal of domestic and industrial wastewater generated by the City, its residents and businesses, is also covered in this section.
Community Facilities Improvements
A Community Facilities Improvement is defined as an improvement that benefits the residents of the community and either provides a City function or provides for a City facility.
Future Improvements
The Future Improvements section includes any improvements that are currently not funded, many of which are contingent on the growth of the City and the demands on the current infrastructure. City staff actively pursues alternate funding sources for all Future Improvements.
Development Improvements
The Development Improvements section includes any improvements to be developed or constructed by a developer or builder in conjunction with the improvements necessary to support their project. These improvements will ultimately be offered for dedication to the City. For the purposes of this document, the Development Improvements are those that provide an area-wide benefit not specific to the project.
Each of these categories is separately identified in the CIP and, with the exception of Future Improvements and Development Improvements, includes Expenditures by Project and an Improvements Summary. 28 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program

Overview
The Future Annual O & M Impact represents any net change in operating and maintenance costs associated with the completion of the project, including additional costs or savings that may result from the project. If applicable, further explanation of these changes may be found in the Supplemental Information section of each project sheet. The project is either Exempt from the Public Art Requirement or the requirement is Applicable to the project. The Public Art Program is discussed in detail in the City of Brentwood Municipal Code, Chapter 2.44 ARTS, Article II.
The project should conform with at least one General Plan Policy. The requesting department provides a brief project Description/Justification which describes the basic scope and need for the project. The Project Status section provides an update on the current status of the project. The Supplemental Information section may include additional information the requesting department would like the reader to know about including more in-depth funding information and supplemental charts or graphs.
The Project Expenditures are an estimate for development, construction and building of the new capital improvement. The Prior section represents both the actual expenditures incurred to date and projected expenditures through June 30. A project contingency, typically 10% of the total project cost, is provided for most projects due to the uncertain nature of construction costs. Cost estimates are current as of the date the CIP is approved by the City Council. The expenditure categories are defined below. Please note that projects are not required to include expenditures in all five categories. a) Legal – All legal costs associated with a project.
b) Planning and Design – Includes concept design, site selection, feasibility analysis, schematic design, environmental determination, scheduling, grant application, grant approval and specification preparation.
c) Construction – Includes bid administration, award of contract and construction. d) Project Administration – Costs associated with ensuring City standards are adhered to during construction.
e) Land/ROW/Acquisitions – Includes property acquisition, ROW and related acquisition services for projects.

Overview
The Project Funding section identifies the sources of revenue(s) which have been, or will be, received to fund any given project. Final funding sources will be determined by: 1) the amount of funds available for each category and 2) by the projects’ priority. The funding categories are described in detail in the Capital Improvement Program Key Funding Sources section beginning on page 22. If a project has any unfunded portions those amounts will be listed on the Unfunded line. 31 City of Brentwood 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program

The growth within the City is a major factor in determining future General Fund revenue as virtually all of the largest General Fund revenue sources are impacted by development, either directly through permit fees, or indirectly through the impacts of having a larger property and sales tax base from which to support operations and capital projects. Development impact fee revenue is also directly related to the volume of development within the City. The following permit projections only represent currently known development projects. As future projects become identified, annual permit projections will be updated. 60,000

Project Title: Project #:
Brentwood Boulevard Widening North - Phase I 336-31620
Description/Justification:
This project will continue the widening of Brentwood Boulevard (120' right-of-way) with two lanes in each direction (approximately 500') and will include two bike lanes, curb and gutter, medians, sidewalk on the east side, streetlights and landscaping on each side of the roadway. This project will also include a new parallel bridge over Marsh Creek, utility upgrades, and undergrounding of existing overhead utilities. In order to widen the road and construct the improvements, the first phase of this project was to demolish an existing building located on the corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Sunset Road. This project will improve safety and traffic flow, and facilitate development.
Project Status:
The building demolition and first phase of the project was completed in FY 2023/24. The design phase is anticipated to begin in FY 2025/26 and the construction phase is anticipated to begin in FY 2026/27.
Supplemental Information:
Brentwood Boulevard Widening North - Phase I is a multi-stage improvement project along Brentwood Boulevard from Havenwood Avenue to Homecoming Road. The section from Havenwood Avenue to the Marsh Creek Bridge was completed as part of the Meta Housing development project. The Arco development project widened Brentwood Boulevard between Homecoming Avenue and Sunset Road. The remaining work consists of additional widening of Brentwood Blvd., undergrounding existing overhead utilities, and constructing a new bridge over Marsh Creek. Funding for this project includes Roadway Development Impact Fees, allocation from the former Redevelopment Agency, and one-time funding from Caltrans associated with the transfer of State Route 4 that was reserved in the General Fund and transferred to the project. The City was unsuccessful in obtaining a $3.5M grant under the Caltrans Clean California Local Grant program in 2022, but will be pursuing alternate funding sources or exploring options to construct partial improvements with the limited available funding. There will be future annual O & M costs from routine maintenance such as pavement, stormwater, traffic striping, concrete, traffic signals, bridge, etc. This project was included in the City’s Strategic Plan for FY 2022/23 - FY 2023/24.
