CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.13
09/23/2025
SUBJECT: Initiating and declaring the intention to order the formation of Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 25-1 (The
Meadows)
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
STAFF: E. Harith Aleem Jr., Director of Parks and Recreation Aaron Wanden, Park Maintenance Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution initiating and declaring the intention to form Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 25-1 (The Meadows); declaring the intention to levy and collect assessments; and setting the date of October 28, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard for the Public Hearing in accordance with the provisions of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972” and Proposition 218.

FISCAL IMPACT
Upon build-out, the City will have authorization to collect the maximum annual assessment revenue of $118,947 (in FY 2025-26 dollars) from the residential parcels located within The Meadows project. The maximum annual assessment revenues for Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 25-1 (The Meadows) will be increased each fiscal year based upon the prior year’s change in the San Francisco Bay Area Urban Wage Earners Consumer Price Index and will fund the special benefit portion of the maintenance, operation, servicing, replacement, and administration expenses associated with City improvements benefiting the project. The annual costs for Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 25-1 (The Meadows) that are attributed to benefit the public at large are estimated to be $5,398 and will be funded by the General Fund.

To ensure landscape and lighting assessment districts are self-supporting, each district has an administrative cost factored into the maximum assessment rate during formation to cover creation of annual Engineer’s Reports and levying of assessments.

Funds to cover the costs associated with the formation of the Landscape & Lighting District have been deposited with the City by the developer.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.13
09/23/2025

BACKGROUND
The proposed Project will consist of 140 single-family homes at build-out, located south of Marsh Creek Road and west of Highway 4.

The Project is conditioned to provide a funding mechanism to offset the annual operation, maintenance, and future capital replacement costs attributed to City streetlights, landscaping, open space areas, trails, and park improvements that benefit the properties located within the Project.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code § 22500, et seq.), as supplemented by Proposition 218, requires that an Engineer’s Report be generated for the formation of any new assessment district or any annexations into existing assessment districts. The Engineer’s Report identifies public improvements to be maintained, as well as the maximum annual assessment rates to be levied on properties benefiting from these improvements. The assessment rates may or may not change each fiscal year, dependent on the maintenance budget, but cannot exceed the maximum annual assessment amount set when the assessment district was originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment. This report will set the maximum annual assessment rates for the new assessment district being proposed.

The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, as supplemented by Proposition 218, also requires that the formation of any new assessment district be subject to a mailed ballot proceeding of the affected property owners, along with a noticed Public Hearing, prior to final approval by the City Council. If the City Council adopts the attached resolution, staff will initiate the noticing and balloting period, including mailing the required notices and ballots to the affected property owners. In order for the ballots to be counted, they must be returned to the City Clerk prior to the close of the public input portion of the Public Hearing, which will be held on October 28, 2025. At the close of the public input portion of the Public Hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate the assessment ballots. If a majority protest is found, meaning that the weighted ballots opposed exceed those in favor, the proposed district may not be formed. If a majority protest is not found, the City Council may adopt the proposed resolution confirming the diagram and assessments to form Landscape & Lighting Assessment District No. 25-1 (The Meadows). The sole affected property owner has agreed to and executed a written waiver shortening the Proposition 218 noticing period from 45 days to 33 days.

INTRODUCTION
ENGINEER’S REPORT
FORMATION OF LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 25-1 (THE MEADOWS)
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
To ensure the proper flow of funds for the ongoing operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of specific improvements within the City of Brentwood (the “City”), the City Council, through the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, has previously approved the formation of seventy (70) Landscape & Lighting Assessment Districts (LLADs) and is currently proposing the formation of one (1) additional LLAD, which is the purpose of this Report. Improvements, which may be operated, maintained, serviced, and replaced by the LLADs, include, but are not limited to, landscaping, park, streetlighting, and trail improvements.

Generally, as a part of the conditions of approval to develop property within the City, property owners/developers are required to mitigate their project’s financial impact to the City. Developers can provide their own financing mechanism to mitigate their impacts or they can form a new LLAD or when applicable, annex into an existing LLAD. The formation of these LLADs ensure that the operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement costs of these improvements are specifically paid for by those property owners who directly benefit from the improvements.

LLAD No. 25-1 (the “District”) will include the Meadows development which is located south of Marsh Creek Road and west of Highway 4. The Meadows development will consist of 140 single-family homes at build-out. In order to form the District, it will require approval from the District property owner(s), prior to final approval from City Council. This process is discussed in Section II, ‘Impacts of Proposition 218’ of this Report.

As required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, the Engineer’s Report includes:
(1) a description of the improvements to be operated, maintained, serviced and replaced by the District, (2) a cost estimate for the District, and (3) a listing of the proposed maximum assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within the District.

The City of Brentwood will hold a public hearing on October 28, 2025, regarding the formation of the District. At the public hearing the City will provide an opportunity for any interested person to be heard. After the public input portion of the public hearing, the City Clerk will tabulate the assessment ballots. If the assessment ballot tabulation is favorable, the City Council may adopt a resolution forming the District and confirming the maximum assessment rates as originally proposed or as modified.

Payment of these annual assessments for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for their annual property taxes. All funds

2 collected through the assessments must be placed in a special fund and can only be used for the purposes stated within this Report.

IMPACT OF PROPOSITION 218
FORMATION OF LANDSCAPE & LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT No. 25-1 (THE MEADOWS)
FISCAL YEAR 2025-26
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 entitled "Right to Vote On Taxes Act" which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution. While its title refers only to taxes, Proposition 218 established new procedural requirements for the formation and administration of assessment districts.

These procedures stipulate that even if assessments are initially exempt from Proposition 218, new or future increases in assessments must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. However, if the increase in assessment was anticipated in the property owner approved assessment formula (e.g., CPI increase or assessment cap) then the assessment increase is compliant with the intent and provisions of Proposition 218.

In order to form the District, it will require voter approval from the District property owner(s), prior to final approval from City Council. In order to comply with the requirements of Proposition 218, the City of Brentwood has implemented the following procedures:
1) Every property owner within the District will be mailed a ballot, which allows the property owners to cast their votes either in favor or against the proposed formation of the assessment district. A notice describing the assessment, the individual property owner’s maximum annual assessment rate, the duration of the assessment, the reason for the assessment, and the basis upon which the assessment is calculated will accompany the ballots.
2) After the close of the public input portion of the public hearing, the ballots, which have been returned to the City Clerk will be tabulated to determine whether a majority protest against the formation of the District exists. 3) When tabulating the assessment ballots, they will be weighted based on their proportionate maximum assessment amount.
4) Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not used for business purposes similar to private residential,

4 commercial, industrial and institutional activities. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas (except club houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.

All property owners will be noticed in accordance with Proposition 218 a minimum of 45 days prior to the public hearing, unless a shorter notice period is agreed to by all affected property owners. After the public hearing and after the ballots have been tabulated, if a majority of the weighted ballots are in favor of the assessment, then the City Council may adopt a resolution forming the District and confirming the maximum assessment rate.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which includes, but is not limited to the operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of street lighting, landscaping, trails, park, and open space area facilities.

Section 22573 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments must be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
In addition, Article XIIID, of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional “special benefit” conferred on the property. Article XIIID provides that only special benefits are assessable, and the City must separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on a parcel. There is no widely accepted or statutory formula for determining general and special benefit. However, the constitution states that a special benefit is different from a general benefit in that it is “particular and distinct” and “over and above” general benefits received by other properties.

Article XIIID provided that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways, utility easements, and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional activities.

The amount to be assessed may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the amount among all assessable lots or parcels. Additionally, it’s required that the City separate the general benefits from the special benefits, because only special benefits may be assessed.

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
The operation, maintenance, servicing, and replacement costs for the landscaping, streetlighting, parks, open space areas, and trail facilities are apportioned in accordance with a methodology that is consistent with standard assessment engineering practices.

Formation of LLAD No. 25-1 (The Meadows) SECTION III
Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
14 Since the assessments are levied on the owners of properties as shown on the secured property tax rolls, the final assessments must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number.

If assessments were to be allocated by parcel, not considering land use, benefit would not be allocated accurately, because a single-family parcel would be paying the same as a 50-unit apartment parcel or a large commercial establishment. Therefore, as previously stated, the total assessment costs are allocated to each parcel of land based on the benefit received by each parcel. The assessment methodology is based on Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) as discussed below.

Single-Family Residential Parcels - The single-family residential parcel has been selected as the basic unit for the calculation of assessments since it represents approximately 90% of the parcels within the City. Therefore, the single-family residential parcel is defined as one EDU per parcel. The assessment methodology used to assign EDUs to other land uses in proportion to the special benefit they receive relative to the single-family residential parcel is discussed below.

Condominium, Duet, Townhome and Mobile Home Parcels - Condominiums, duets, townhomes, and mobile homes on average have approximately 75% of the building square footage compared to a single-family home. Furthermore, studies consistently show that these types of residential products impact public infrastructure approximately 75% as much as a single-family residential parcel. Therefore, all condominium, townhome and mobile home parcels are assessed 0.75 EDUs per parcel.

Multi-Family Residential Units - Multi-family residential units on average have approximately 50% of the building square footage compared to a single-family home.

Furthermore, studies consistently show that multi-family residential units impact public infrastructure approximately 50% as much as a single-family home. Therefore, all multifamily parcels are assessed 0.50 EDUs per unit.

Non-Residential Parcels - Commercial, industrial, institutional, and other non-residential properties are assessed at three (3) EDUs per acre of land. The 3.00 EDU per acre allocation is based upon the average size of a single-family parcel in the City of Brentwood which is approximately 1/6 of an acre. For every acre of non-residential land approximately 6 single-family homes could be constructed on that acre of land which would equate to 6.00 EDUs per acre. Furthermore, it was determined that NonResidential parcels benefit less than residential properties from the authorized improvements because their employees have less time and opportunity to use and benefit from the improvements, than residents who live within the City. Employees typically benefit or may use the improvements before work, during breaks and at lunch, or after work. Residents have the ability to use the improvements during the same times and on weekends and holidays, since they reside in the area. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that for non-residential property the opportunity to use and benefit from the improvements is approximately 50% of that realized by residential properties.

Therefore, EDUs assigned to non-residential property are assessed three (3) EDUs per acre of land because they have been discounted by 50% to account for the differences in benefit from improvements conferred on residential and non-residential property.

Formation of LLAD No. 25-1 (The Meadows) SECTION III
Engineer’s Report Fiscal Year 2025-26 PART D
15 Undeveloped Parcels – All undeveloped properties are assessed at 25% of the developed EDUs assigned for each parcel of land based on the properties land use classification.

Undeveloped properties benefit less from the improvements than developed property because undeveloped properties do not have structures which house residents or utilize employees. However, the improvements funded by the City’s LLADs do benefit undeveloped property because improvements have already been installed that allows for development to occur and to use the improvements immediately upon the initiation of development making the property more attractive. Based on this information, it is reasonable to assume that undeveloped property benefits less than developed property.

To determine the difference in special benefit conferred on developed and undeveloped property, the Contra Costa County Assessor’s assessed values for property within the City were reviewed to determine what percentage of assessed value is typically associated with the underlying land and what percentage is typically associated with the structure. Based upon the review, it was determined that approximately 25% of the assessed value of developed property in the City is associated with the underlying land.

Based on the comparison of benefits of developed property to undeveloped property it is reasonable to assess the undeveloped property at 25% of the rate for developed property.

Therefore, EDUs assigned to undeveloped residential and non-residential property have been discounted by 75% to account for the differences in benefit from improvements conferred on developed and undeveloped property.

Exempt Parcels - Publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the improvements. Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways (all of which are typically not assigned an APN by the County), and that portion of public property that is not developed and used for business purposes similar to private commercial, industrial, and institutional activities (such as office buildings like a City Hall, etc.). Also exempted from the assessment would be utility rights-of-ways, common areas (such as in condominium complexes), and any other property that is deemed to be unable to develop by the City. These types of parcels do not benefit from the improvements. Also exempted from the assessments are private streets, utility easements, HOA common areas (except club houses, community centers, parking lots, etc.) and any other parcels that do not receive a special and direct benefit from the improvements.

Furthermore, parcels within the District may be assessed as developed once the final maps have been approved by the City of Brentwood and/or it is anticipated that improvements will need to be maintained or reserve funds will need to be collected for the ensuing fiscal year.

16 QUANTIFICATION OF BENEFIT
The District will provide a funding source for the operation, maintenance, servicing and replacement of streetlighting, landscaping, park, and open space area facilities authorized under the statute that benefit properties within the boundaries of the District. As previously discussed, it’s required that the City separate the general benefits from the special benefits, because only special benefits may be assessed. In order for the City to separate out the costs associated with general and special benefits for each improvement type, an analysis of each improvement was conducted as described below.

Streetlighting Along Arterial and Major Roadways
Streetlighting located along the City’s arterial and major roadways provide a benefit to parcels inside and outside the City. The benefits from streetlights are enhanced illumination which allows for:
• Safer vehicle and pedestrian access to and from property. • Enhanced deterrence of criminal or suspicious activity such as property theft, vandalism, criminal acidity, illegal dumping, and damage to improvements and property.
• Improved ability of pedestrians and motorists to see. • Improved traffic circulation and reduced nighttime accidents and personal property loss.
• Increased nighttime visibility resulting in enhanced safety on roads, streets, and in public areas.

To determine which properties benefit from streetlighting along the City’s arterial and major roadways a benefit analysis was performed. The analysis utilized Google Maps to determine which arterial and major roadways within the City were most likely to be used by property owners/residents when driving or walking to various destinations inside and outside of the City. The analysis showed that all properties within the City would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling to destinations within the City or to other cities and communities. The analysis also found that there are additional properties located outside the City limits that would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling through the City to various destinations outside the City.

Vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow commencing outside of the City but traveling to a destination inside the City was determined to be a special benefit to the destination parcel within the City. The analysis used each parcel’s physical location as a starting destination and then selected ending destinations were inputted (e.g., neighboring cities or communities surrounding the City of Brentwood). If Google Maps showed the property owner/resident located outside the City would pass through and utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, then they were considered to receive a benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway system. In addition, the analysis showed that most parcels outside of the City did not benefit from the improvements because they did not utilize the City’s roadways to travel to a destination parcel outside of the City, but would in most circumstances, if not all rather

17 utilize Highway 4 to traverse the City or use an alternative route, therefore circumventing the City’s arterial and major roadways.

In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners within the City receive from these enhanced streetlighting improvements, there are also some incidental general benefits received by vehicular and pedestrian flow-through traffic (traffic that does not stop within the City) which originates from properties outside the City limits from individuals who use the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to another destination outside of the City. It has been determined that some properties not located within the City, north of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to destinations south of the City and that some properties not located within City, south and east of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to a destination north of the City. Properties meeting these criteria have been identified and such benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by property owners within the City limits and the general benefit received by the property owners outside the City, EDUs were assigned to all benefiting properties (both inside and outside the City). The analysis resulted in a benefit boundary being drawn and EDUs being assigned to one of three categories of parcels: special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and not in a LLAD, special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and in a LLAD, and general benefits assigned to properties that lie outside the City. The aggregated EDU assignments for each categorization of property determined that 2.81% of the EDUs were attributed to properties located outside of the City. Therefore, it is estimated that 97.19% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway streetlighting would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City and 2.81% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway streetlighting would be a general benefit.

Streetlighting Along Arterial and Major Roadway Cost Allocation The 1,405 roadside and median streetlights located along arterial and major roadways within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary cost approximately $429,174.71 per year to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. The cost to maintain the streetlighting along the arterial and major roadways are spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified to be within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary equate to 26,153 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $16.41 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed,

97.19% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the streetlights would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary.

18 Landscaping Along Arterial and Major Roadways
Landscaping located along the City’s arterial and major roadways provide a benefit to parcels within and outside the City. The benefits from landscaping include enhanced beautification which allows for:
• Enhanced desirability of property through association with the improvements. • Improved aesthetic appeal of properties providing a positive representation of the area and properties.
• Enhanced beautification to the adjacent developments. • Increased sense of pride in ownership of property within the LLADs resulting from well-maintained improvements associated with the properties. • Enhanced quality of life through well-maintained green space and landscaped areas.
• Reduced criminal activity and property-related crimes (especially vandalism) against properties in the LLADs through well-maintained surroundings and amenities including abatement of graffiti.
• Environmental enhancement through improved erosion resistance, dust and debris control, and fire prevention.
• Enhanced environmental quality of the parcels by moderating temperatures, providing oxygenation, and attenuating noise.

To determine which properties benefit from landscaping along the City’s arterial and major roadways a benefit analysis was performed. The analysis utilized Google Maps to determine which arterial and major roadways within the City were most likely to be used by property owners/residents when driving or walking to various destinations inside and outside of the City. The analysis showed that all properties within the City would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling to destinations within the City or to other cities and communities. The analysis also found that there are additional properties located outside the City limits that would utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system when traveling through the City to various destinations outside the City.

Vehicular or pedestrian traffic flow commencing outside of the City but traveling to a destination inside the City was determined to be a special benefit to the destination parcel within the City. The analysis used each parcel’s physical location as a starting destination and then selected ending destinations were inputted (e.g. neighboring cities or communities surrounding the City of Brentwood). If Google Maps showed the property owner/resident located outside the City would pass through and utilize the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to a destination outside of the City, then they were LLAD No. 25-1

19 considered to receive a benefit from the City’s arterial and major roadway system. In addition, the analysis showed that most parcels outside of the City did not benefit from the improvements because they did not utilize the City’s roadways to travel to a destination parcel outside of the City, but would in most circumstances, if not all rather utilize Highway 4 to traverse the City or use an alternative route, therefore circumventing the City’s arterial and major roadways.

In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners within the City receive from these enhanced landscaping improvements, there are also some incidental general benefits received by vehicular and pedestrian flow-through traffic (traffic that does not stop within the City) which originates from properties outside the City limits from individuals who use the City’s arterial and major roadway system to travel to another destination outside of the City. It has been determined that some properties not located within the City, north of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to destinations south of the City and that some properties not located within City, south and east of the City limits, utilize arterial and major roadways within the City when traveling to a destination north of the City. Properties meeting these criteria have been identified and such benefits must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by property owners within the City limits and the general benefit received by the property owners outside the City, EDUs were assigned to all benefiting properties (both inside and outside the City). The analysis resulted in a benefit boundary being drawn and EDUs being assigned to one of three categories of parcels: special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and not in a LLAD, special benefits assigned to properties that lie within the City and in a LLAD, and general benefits assigned to properties that lie outside the City. It was determined that parcels within the categories that are not in a LLAD benefit less than parcels within the LLADs due to the proximity of the landscaping to the properties within the LLADs. This finding resulted in the EDUs assigned to parcels in the City and not in a LLAD and parcels outside the City being reduced by 50%. The aggregated EDU assignments for each categorization of property determined that 1.63% of the EDUs were attributed to properties located outside of the City. Therefore, it is estimated that 98.37% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway landscaping would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City and 1.63% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the arterial and major roadway landscaping would be a general benefit.

Landscaping Along Arterial and Major Roadway Cost Allocation The 117.852 acres of City-maintained landscaping along the arterial and major roadways within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,604.990.63 per year to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. The cost to maintain the arterial and major roadway landscaping is spread to all benefitting parcels identified within the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified on the Arterial and Major Roadway Benefit Boundary equate to 23,179 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $198.67 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars.

Park and Trail Facilities
The City of Brentwood’s General Plan policy is aimed at ensuring that recreational opportunities will continue to exist throughout the City and that an adequate park and trail system continues to be developed and maintained to serve the City. In keeping with these policies, the City Council formed a Citywide Park Assessment district for park maintenance in 1997 to secure a funding mechanism for a portion of the benefits and associated costs to maintain community parks and neighborhood parks. In addition, the City’s LLADs were also established to fund park and trail costs associated with each benefiting property for the community and neighborhood parks that could not be funded from the Citywide Park Assessment District. For the purposes of this report, community parks are defined as typically being larger parks that are designed with amenities to serve the City as a whole as described further in the Parks, Trails and Recreation Master Plan originally approved on August 23, 1994 and subsequently approved on June 25, 2002.

Neighborhood parks are defined as being generally smaller than community parks and typically benefit those residents located within a one-half mile radius from the park and as further defined within the Parks, Trails and Recreation Master Plan previously referenced.

There are 100 Parks spread throughout the City serving a population of approximately 67,000 residents. Community and neighborhood parks provide a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City. The special and direct benefit to the parcels consists of enhanced recreational opportunities, including baseball, soccer, swimming, basketball, walking, jogging, etc. and the use of improvements such as: picnic tables, barbequing, playground equipment, community center rooms, green spaces, benches, bioswales, etc.

The parks, trails, and the associated recreational opportunities provide for more aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods, environmental and health benefits, community gathering places, and an overall improved and healthier community image, etc. If these park and trail improvements were not installed, property within the City’s LLADs would not look as appealing to property owners, prospective property buyers, and patrons alike, which would adversely affect the value of their property.

21 adjacent and near parks and open space are typically valued at 8-20% higher than comparable properties, with positive price effect declining to zero about ½ mile away.

Therefore, park and trail improvements provide a special and direct benefit to property located within ½ miles of park and trail improvements.

Furthermore, the Brentwood Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan development guidelines as previously referenced herein, states that, neighborhood parks should service residents within a ½ mile +/- radius or approximately 1,000 to 2,000 people. The City maintains on average one neighborhood park per 800 residents. In addition to the special and direct benefits the property owners receive within the City from these enhanced park improvements, there are also some incidental benefits received by residents located from outside the City that may utilize the City’s community and neighborhood parks. Even though these are incidental benefits, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs.

Based on park user data, it is conservatively estimated that approximately 95% of the benefits associated with community parks are of benefit to property within the City and 98% of the benefits associated with neighborhood parks are of a special and direct benefit to properties within ½ mile distance (+/-). Therefore, 95% of the costs to annually operate, maintain, service and replace the community parks and 98% of the costs to annually operate, maintain, service and replace the neighborhood parks would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the City, and 5% and 2%, respectively of the annual costs to operate, maintain, service and replace the parks would be a general benefit.

Park Facilities Cost Allocation
The approximate 254.275 acres of community and neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $9,583,364 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. The cost to maintain the parks is spread to all benefiting parcels identified within the Parks Benefit Boundary.

The community parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $4,465,975 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 95% of the annual cost to operate and maintain community parks is considered a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the park benefit boundary and 5% of the annual cost to operate and maintain community parks is considered a general benefit. The parcels identified within the Park Benefit Boundary equate to 23,188 EDUs, which results in an annual cost allocation of $86.60 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars for community parks. Table 4A shows the cost allocation associated with community parks.

22 The neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary cost approximately $5,117,389 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, approximately 98% of the annual cost to operate and maintain neighborhood parks is considered a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the park benefit boundary and 2% of the annual cost to operate and maintain neighborhood parks is considered a general benefit. The parcels identified within the Park Benefit Boundary equate to 23,188 EDUs, which results in an annual cost allocation of $143.47 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars for neighborhood parks.

Table 4B shows the cost allocation associated with neighborhood parks.

The total annual cost allocation needed to maintain the community and neighborhood parks within the Park Benefit Boundary is $230.07 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars as summarized in Table 4C below.

Local Landscaping
To determine which properties benefit from local or development specific landscaping a benefit analysis was performed. Landscaping located along and adjacent to the local streets provide a special and direct benefit to parcels within the development. The special and direct benefits from local landscaping within the development consists of enhanced beautification to the entrances and along the roadsides within the development.

23 improvements were not installed, the developments would not look as appealing to property owners and prospective property buyers which would adversely affect the value of their property. Therefore, these landscape improvements provide a specific enhancement to their property values and not a general enhancement of property values.

Since the local streets within the development are designed to have minimal flow through traffic, there are few reasons for vehicles to access the local streets unless their destination is to or from a single-family residential parcel within the development.

However, it is reasonable to conclude that some vehicular traffic may on a rare occasion utilize the local streets due to the need to turn around or a mistaken turn into the development. The rare circumstance where a pedestrian or vehicle mistakenly uses the local streets, have been determined to be a rare and infrequent circumstance. Even though these are rare and infrequent circumstances, they must be accounted for and cannot be assessed to the properties within the City’s LLADs. Therefore, based on flowthrough traffic it is conservatively estimated that approximately 98% of the annual trips along local roadways within the development would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the LLADs and 2% of the annual trips along local roadways within the development would be a general benefit.

To quantify and separate the special benefits received by all property within the development EDUs were assigned was applied to all benefitting properties inside the development as identified. It was determined that 2% of the cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the local landscaping were assigned to properties located outside of the development. Therefore, it is estimated that 98% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the local landscaping would be a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the development and 2% of the annual cost to operate, maintain, service and replace the local landscaping would be a general benefit.

Local Landscaping Cost Allocation
The 0.856 acres of local landscaping within the Local Benefit Boundary cost approximately $36,113 to maintain in FY 2025-26 dollars. As previously discussed, 98% of the annual cost to operate and maintain the local landscaping is a special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Local Benefit Boundary and is spread to all benefitting parcels within the Local Benefit Boundary. The parcels identified on the Local Benefit Boundary equate to 140.00 EDUs which results in an annual cost allocation of $252.79 per EDU in FY 2025-26 dollars.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
09/23/2025
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 drive-through facilities DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development 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 drive-through facilities in Chapter 17.655 (Drive-Through Uses), including prohibition within 300 feet of Brentwood Boulevard, and updating references in all zones throughout the city related to the use.

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 to reinitiate the City’s Zoning Code Update, including a focused and phased approach, rather than the comprehensive update that was initiated in the summer of 2020. On May 23, 2023,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
09/23/2025
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 directed staff to (1) address the following uses in the Focused Zoning Code Update efforts and (2) present to the Land Use and Development Committee (LUD) an initial framework for zoning amendments related to such uses:

1. Automobile service stations/gas stations;

2. Carwashes;

3. Alcohol sales;

4. Self-storage facilities;

5. Short-term rentals; and

6. Drive-through uses.

On June 17, 2024 and July 15, 2024, staff presented LUD 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, short-term rentals, and self-storage facilities, which were reviewed and adopted via separate ordinances by the City Council on December 10, 2024 and August 12, 2025, respectively, 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 drivethrough uses. Staff prepared a report for LUD and the City Council on the topic and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
09/23/2025
had included it as Attachment 4 in the July 22, 2025 agenda report for City Council’s reference.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission considered regulations related to both self-storage and drive-through facilities at a public hearing at its regular meeting of June 3, 2025. At that meeting, 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 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 resolution was adopted subject to additional recommendations to the City Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2025
On July 22, 2025, the City Council considered the proposed amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to both self-storage and drive-through facilities.

After deliberation, the City Council was in support of the self-storage facility regulations but, directed staff to return with additional amendments related to drivethrough facilities, which are discussed further below.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS

DRIVE-THROUGH USES
Staff presented new development standards that would 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 to the City Council on July 22, 2025. A complete analysis of the proposed amendments was presented within the agenda report linked in the Background section of this report above. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council directed staff to work on additional amendments within the drive-through ordinance to include the following changes:
• No additional food- or drink-related drive-through facilities along the Brentwood Boulevard corridor. No specific distance was specified and it was left to staff’s discretion to come up with a suggested appropriate distance.

After review of existing facilities and land use patterns along Brentwood Boulevard, staff recommends that all food- and drink-related drivethrough facilities be prohibited within 300-feet of Brentwood Boulevard, as measured from the curb along Brentwood Boulevard to the respective drive-through building or drive-through lane, whichever is closer.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
09/23/2025
• Provide clarification and/or distinction between food- or drink-related drivethrough facilities and drive-through facilities for banks and pharmacies. • Change three “should” references to “shall” (Section 17.655.002(D), (E), and (F)).

Staff drafted the attached revised ordinance addressing the City Council’s recommendations and included changes within Attachment 2.

CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
Not applicable.

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

DATE OF NOTICE
The City of Brentwood published a public hearing notice in the Brentwood Press on August 29, 2025.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
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 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.

WHEREAS, the Ordinance would amend Title 17 (Zoning) of the Brentwood Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Brentwood Municipal Code allows drive-through facilities in certain zoning districts but does not contain standards regulating the use. Instead, applications for new drive-through facilities are considered on a case-by-case basis through the conditional use permit process; and
WHEREAS, development and performance standards for new drive-through facilities and for the expansion of existing drive-through facilities will ensure greater consistency of regulations for the use, and will mitigate against the negative impacts that could result from new and remodeled drive-through uses; and WHEREAS, the demand for drive-through sites on major arterial roadways in the city has the potential for negative effects, particularly for drive-throughs located adjacent to single-family residential neighborhoods and along major commercial corridors already impacted by high commuter traffic such as Brentwood Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed amendment to the Brentwood Municipal Code, has found that the proposed Ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, and recommends adoption to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2025, the City gave public notice of a Planning Commission public hearing to be held to consider this Ordinance by advertisement in the Brentwood Press, a newspaper of general circulation; and WHEREAS, on June 3, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing to consider the staff report, recommendation by staff, and public testimony concerning this Ordinance. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 25-010 and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance by a vote of 5-0 subject to the

recommendations of the Planning Commission discussed at the meeting to the City Council including the following changes:

Drive-Through Recommendations:

2. BMC Section 17.655.002 (I) and (K): Change “should” to “shall”

After deliberation, the City Council recommended that the Ordinance be further amended to prohibit additional food- or drink-related drive-through facilities along Brentwood Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, on September 23, 2025, the City Council held a duly-noticed public hearing to consider the revised Ordinance, including: (1) the public testimony and agenda reports prepared in connection with the Ordinance, (2) the policy considerations discussed therein, and (3) the consideration by the City’s Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of the Ordinance have occurred.

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

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

SECTION 2. CEQA. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, this project is exempt in that 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 [be] compatible with adjacent land uses, particularly residential uses. In addition, it is consistent with Land Use Policy LU 2-2 (“Development at the interface of residential land use designations with other designations shall be designed to ensure compatibility between the uses and to reduce any potential negative impacts associated with aesthetics, noise, and safety”) 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 attached hereto and incorporated herein, as follows. Revisions to existing sections are reflected in strikethrough for deletions and underline for additions. Portions of sections not listed in the attached exhibit are not modified and remain in full force and effect.

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

THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE was introduced with the first reading waived at a regular meeting of the Brentwood City Council on the 23rd day of September 2025 by the following vote:

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 food- and drink-related 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.

D. Vehicle stacking. Drive-through ordering board speakers shall 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 shall 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.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
09/23/2025
SUBJECT: MOU for Delta Informal Gardeners Funding Request of $10,000 DEPARTMENT: City Manager
STAFF: Sukari Beshears, Interim Assistant City Manager
Abraham Salinas, Senior Analyst

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the City of Brentwood (“City”) and Delta Informal Gardeners (“DIG”) for a payment of $10,000 to support its 2026 Annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale Program, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the MOU and to make minor nonsubstantive revisions to it in consultation with the City Attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, funding for the MOU of $10,000 would be expended from the City’s Agricultural Land Fund. The expenditure would be made from the Fund’s existing Agricultural Business Program Strategic Initiative Budget of approximately $175,000.

The Agriculture Land and Agriculture Administration Funds accumulate agriculture mitigation fees used to fund conservation easements, fee title purchases by the City, as well as the agricultural preservation and enterprise programs that are consistent with the land use designations and policies included in the City’s general plan and Municipal Code.

On June 27, 2023, the City Council gave direction to set aside $2,240,000 of the balance available in the Agricultural Land Fund for the Agricultural Innovation Center.

The table below summarizes the projected cash balance of the Agriculture Land and Agriculture Administration Fund as of June 30, 2026.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
09/23/2025

BACKGROUND
On March 13, 2007, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2007-50, approving a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Mery Lynn Nail and Lorraine Visher for the acquisition of a 7-acre parcel located at 3900 Sellers Avenue, commonly referred to as the “Nail Property.”
The Nail Property is situated outside the City’s incorporated boundaries. A portion of the site is currently utilized by the adjacent East Contra Costa Historical Society for storage and parking purposes.

In 2024, the City entered into a MOU with DIG to allow the use of approximately 20,000 square feet of the Nail Property for plant propagation in support of DIG’s Annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale. DIG has since requested $10,000 in funding from the Agricultural Business Program to purchase equipment, supplies, and make minor site improvements to the Nail Property, for its 2026 Mother’s Day Plant Sale.

Approval of this MOU would provide resources to support DIG’s community-based operations for the 2026 Mother’s Day Plant Sale while also facilitating site improvements, including but not limited to fixing the wellon the Nail Property, that are consistent with the City’s Agricultural Preservation Program. The proposed activities advance the Program’s goal of supporting the continuation and expansion of agricultural operations in and around Brentwood.

Below is an excerpt of the Brentwood Municipal Code related to the collection and use of Agricultural Mitigation Fees:

Agricultural Mitigation Fees are collected from new development to support agricultural uses, as established by Ordinance 877 (2010).

The in-lieu fee paid to the city shall be placed in a separate account, and funds from this account, as well as interest earned shall be used to fund conservation easements, fee title purchases by the city, as well as the agricultural preservation and enterprise programs that are consistent with the land use designations and policies included in the city’s general plan and municipal code. Twenty percent of the fees collected may be used for administrative purposes and be placed in a separate account. (Brentwood Municipal Code § 17.730.070.)
