CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4
02/24/2026
SUBJECT: Focused Zoning Code Update Direction: Alcohol Sales DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Erik Nolthenius, Planning Manager
Jennifer Hagen, Principal Planner
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction to staff on potential new regulations within the framework of the Focused Zoning Code Update related to the sale of alcohol for on-premise consumption.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the update is included in the Zoning Ordinance Focused Update, CIP Project No. 337-37228, (“Project”) which is included in the 2025/26 – 2029/30 Capital Improvement Program. The majority of the Project is funded by the General Fund, with a minor amount from California Senate Bill (SB) 2 Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant funding.
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, 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
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4
02/24/2026
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 address the following uses in the Focused Zoning Code Update efforts and present 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, the City Council’s Land Use and Development Committee (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 the City Council was presented with information and provided further direction related to alcohol sales.
Although the Focused Zoning Code Updates were originally envisioned to move forward as one group, the specific uses became separated based on initial LUD and City Council recommended changes, differing staff time needed to amend each section of the Municipal Code based on each use, and the complexity of each topic.
Staff moved forward with each use based on the complexity of each of the topics, as well as the clarity and consistency of the direction given, in order to complete the simplest tasks first before moving forward with the more complex tasks. To date, approximately 15 meetings have been held over the past two years on the Focused Zoning Code Updates and Objective Design Standards, as summarized below.

Staff’s goal is to complete the entirety of the Focused Zoning Code Updates (Tasks 1-3) by the end of the fiscal year.
DISCUSSION
The last time that the City Council provided direction on alcohol-related uses was September 24, 2024. The previous reports related to alcohol that were provided to LUD and the City Council are included in Attachment 2 for the City Council’s reference.
Based on the complexity of the topic, the potential to impact the majority of the City’s commercial areas, and the length of time since last reviewed by the Council, staff is recommending that the Council review staff’s drafted recommendations and provide final direction before moving forward to the Planning Commission and Council for
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4
02/24/2026
final approval. On September 24, 2024, the City Council provided the following direction:
• No alcohol-related changes to the Downtown, the Innovation Center, or PD-6 (The Streets of Brentwood/Sand Creek Crossings Center) zones, while creating one set of regulations for the rest of the city that would allow for consistency and that would be more easily understood.
• Consider specific regulations for the sale of alcohol for on-premise consumption for all properties located within 500 feet of K-12 schools (Private or Public), excluding the three areas referenced above.
• Consider signage related to alcohol sales.
• Consider specific regulations for the sale of alcohol for on-premise consumption for those uses within 100 feet of residential properties. • Consider specific regulations for the sale of alcohol for on-premise consumption that would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) if a restaurant is open after 10 p.m. (explore a tiered system based on proximity to residential properties). • Council did not recommend changes to existing regulations related to the sale of alcohol for off-premise consumption at the time.
Based on the City Council recommendations, staff drafted a preliminary code amendment that provides the following regulations for all properties outside of those located in the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan Area (Innovation Center), and PD-6. The initial draft of the new code section is included in Attachment 3 for reference. The proposed standards include:
1. Proximity to Schools. No establishment that sells alcohol for on-premise consumption shall be located within a five hundred (500) foot radius from any existing school (public or private), except within the areas defined as the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan Area (Innovation Center), and PD-6. A 500-foot radius map is included in Attachment 4 for reference.
2. Proximity to Residential Uses. If an establishment that sells alcohol for onpremise consumption is within one hundred (100) feet of any existing residential zoning district or use, then a conditional use permit shall be required.
3. Hours of Operation in addition to Proximity to Residential Uses. If an establishment that sells alcohol for on-premise consumption is within three hundred (300) feet of any existing residential zoning district or use and open after 10:00 P.M., then a conditional use permit shall be required. This would
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4
02/24/2026
effectively require those between 100- and 300-feet, open past 10:00 P.M., to require a CUP since those less than 100-feet automatically require a CUP.
If a property does not meet any of the above three criteria, then the sale of alcohol for on-premise consumption in combination with an approved restaurant use would be allowed by right. Below is a summary of the changes that would apply:
Proximity Standards Regulations
Restaurants within 500’ of a School On-Premise alcohol sales would not be permitted
Restaurants within 100’ of a residential
property
On-Premise alcohol sales would require
a CUP
Restaurants within 100’-300’ of a
residential property
On-Premise alcohol sales would require
a CUP if open later than 10:00 p.m.
Restaurants greater than 300’ from a
residential property
On-Premise alcohol sales would be
permitted in conjunction with a
restaurant.
Staff also looked into additional regulations for window signage. While the City may not explicitly prohibit signage related to the sale of alcohol, it may impose regulations on the time, place, and manner of the signage to ensure public order and safety.
After review of the City’s current Ordinance, the advertisement of alcohol products is only permitted as window signage defined as follows:
"Window sign" means a permanent sign that is painted or mounted onto a windowpane, or that is hung directly inside a window solely for the purpose or effect of identifying any premises from the sidewalk or street, or a temporary sign that advertises special sales, events, or products. This definition includes any interior sign that is located within five feet of the applicable window.
Based on the current Code, window signage is limited to not more than twenty-five percent of the aggregate window area and may not to be located within an area between three feet and five feet above grade. Since window signage is already identified within the Code, and limited to only 25 percent of window area, staff does not recommend amending the sign regulations at this time. However, if the City Council would like to place additional regulations on the time, place, and manner of window signage to ensure public order and safety, staff would recommend amending the Code so that the regulations would apply to all window signage and not specifically to the sale of alcohol. If the Council would like to move forward with this, staff could provide examples to bring forward separately or with the final ordinance.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.4

Once Council has provided final direction on alcohol-related uses, staff will finalize the draft ordinance to bring forward for Planning Commission and City Council consideration within the new two to three months.

SUBJECT: Focused Zoning Code Update Direction: Alcohol Sales, Selfstorage facilities, and Drive-through uses DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Erik Nolthenius, Planning Manager
Jennifer Hagen, Senior Planner
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction to staff on potential new regulations within the framework of the Focused Zoning Code Update related to the following land uses: Alcohol sales, selfstorage facilities; and, drive-through uses.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the update is included in the Zoning Ordinance Focused Update, CIP Project No. 337-37228, (“Project”) which is included in the adopted and amended 2024/25 – 2028/29 Capital Improvement Program. The majority of the Project is funded by the General Fund, with a minor amount from SB 2 grant funding.

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.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
09/24/2024
On November 11, 2023, the City Council provided direction on the following uses to be considered as part of the Focused Zoning Code Update efforts and directed staff to present the Land-Use and Development Committee (LUD) with an initial framework for each of the topics prior to moving forward with comprehensive and formal amendments:
1. Automobile service stations/gas stations
2. Carwashes
3. Alcohol sales regulations
4. Self-storage facilities
5. Short-term rental regulations
6. Drive-through uses
On June 17th and July 15th, LUD was presented with and provided direction on the six topics. LUD recommended that staff return to the full City Council for direction related to alcohol sales, self-storage facilities, and drive-thru uses to obtain further direction before drafting amendments for review and approval. Staff received clear recommendations from LUD on amendments related to automobile service stations/gas stations, carwashes, and short-term rental regulations, which will be first presented to the Planning Commission and then returning to City Council for review and approval in the near future. Both the Planning Commission and City Council meetings will be public hearings and will be noticed in the local paper.
DISCUSSION
Staff has prepared the attached individual reports on the topics. Each report has been formatted to provide the following information, if applicable:
1. Background – a discussion of the use and relevant information
2. Analysis
A. General – a discussion on the existing uses in operation throughout the City. Within the alcohol sales report, staff has also included attachments 2A and 2B, that includes a list of all active on-sale and off-sale retail licenses for general background and reference purposes.
B. Existing Regulations – a discussion on whether there are currently any regulations on the subject use, including whether they typically are permitted or conditionally permitted.
C. Locations – a discussion of what zones identify the subject use as permitted or conditionally permitted.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
09/24/2024
D. Potential Development and Design Standards – a discussion of potential development and design standards related to the identified uses for consideration to be incorporated into a future focused zoning code amendments.
E. Potential Operational Requirements – a discussion of potential operational requirements related to the identified uses for consideration to be incorporated into a future focused zoning code amendments.
Subsequent to the LUD meeting, staff added two new sections to the summaries:
a “LUD Summary and Further Discussion” section at the end of each report that includes a summary of the LUD conclusions, additional consideration and/or discussion points, and recommended City Council direction; and a “Potential Economic Impact” section that provides information on the potential impacts new standards or regulations may have on the existing and/or future economic growth and welfare of the City.
Staff is presenting the City Council with recommendations on the final three land uses and the requested direction for each, as summarized below. A full discussion of each land use can be found in each of the attached individual reports (Attachment 2 – Alcohol Sales, Attachment 3 – Self- Storage Facilities, and Attachment 4 – Drivethrough Facilities.) Alcohol Sales
In order to move forward with a focused update related to alcohol sales, staff needs direction on the recommended development standards and operational requirements for alcohol sales throughout the City. Staff has provided recommendations below and is requesting direction on the following:
1. Individualized and General Regulations: Overall, staff recommends that the City Council consider requiring individualized regulations for specific areas such as the Downtown, the Innovation Center, and PD-6 (Streets of Brentwood/Raley’s Center), while potentially creating one set of regulations for the rest of the City that would allow for consistency and more easily understood regulations.
2. Definitions: In addition, staff recommends that new definitions be created within alcohol-regulating provisions for the following:
• Day Care Center, Children
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
09/24/2024
• Private Educational Facilities
• Public School Facilities
• Food and Beverage Stores – Convenience Store
• Food and Beverage Stores – Grocery Store
• Food and Beverage Stores – Liquor Store
• Food and Beverage Stores – Specialty Food & Wine
• Food and Beverage Stores – Neighborhood Market
3. No further restrictions for on-sale license: Staff does not recommend further restricting on-sale licenses within the City unless they are located adjacent to, or within a distance as recommended by City Council, to a Public School Facilities or a Private Educational Facility only.
4. Separation Requirements: Staff does not recommend implementing separation requirements from Child Day Care Centers at this time. Staff also recommends that all that the incidental sale of alcohol at all grocery stores, specialty food and wine stores and neighborhood markers be permitted by-right where the use is allowed in the underlying zone.
5. CUPs: Staff recommends that all convenience stores and liquor stores be conditionally permitted where the use is allowed in the underlying zoning.
City Council Options
The following outlines the options for Council when considering the options for alcohol sales:
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 recommending additional sensitive uses, or alternative location based zoning suggestions, 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.
Self- Storage Facilities
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
09/24/2024
At this time, staff supports including a clear definition for self-storage in the Zoning Code 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 selfstorage 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 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.
Drive-through Facilities
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
09/24/2024
In order to move forward with a focused update related to drive-through facilities, staff needs direction on the attached 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 drivethrough establishments. In addition to requiring a CUP, staff recommends that new development standards be drafted and implemented that include the following items:
• 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 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 attached standards:
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.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. I.3
09/24/2024
Conclusion
Staff is recommending that each topic be presented and discussed, as well as receive public comment individually, in order to get clear and concise direction before moving on to the next topic. Once Council has provided final direction on the final three focused zoning code items, staff will begin to draft final ordinances to bring forward for Planning Commission and City Council consideration in early 2025.

FOCUSED ZONING CODE UPDATE
1. Alcohol Sales
Background
A. Types of Alcoholic Beverage Licenses in California
To sell beer, wine, or liquor in the State of California, a business must acquire a license through the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). There are two main types of alcoholic beverage licenses: on-sale retail and off-sale retail.
On-sale Alcohol License
On-sale alcohol licenses grant privileges for on-site consumption. There are two main groups of on-sale retail licenses: beer and wine (Type 41 and Type 42) and full on-sale general liquor (Type 47 and Type 48). These two main groups are then narrowed down to the specific type of business. Type 41 and Type 47 are incidental to food service and commonly used for full-service restaurants. The business applying for a Type 41 or Type 47 must have a kitchen and all age groups are welcomed to be on the premises. For Type 42 and Type 48, no food service is required; these licenses are commonly used for bars or taverns. Due to the business nature of a Type 42 or Type 48 license, only adults age 21 and over are allowed on premise.
Off-sale Alcohol License
Conversely, off-sale alcohol licenses grant privileges for customers to purchase the alcohol to consume off-premise. There are only two main alcohol licenses that grant off-sale privileges: Type 20 (beer and wine) and Type 21 (beer, wine, and spirits). These two types of off-sale retail alcohol licenses are commonly used by service stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, etc.
B. Licensing vs. Zoning
Prior to ABC issuing an alcoholic beverage license, the Department requires an applicant to demonstrate that the business location has zoning in place that permits the sale of alcohol. Per Section 23790 of the Business and Professions Code, ABC cannot issue a retail license contrary to a city’s valid zoning ordinance.
The applicant must therefore submit a Zoning Affidavit stating that the city’s zoning permits the intended use, and if a conditional use permit (CUP) is needed, then a copy of the CUP (or its receipt) is to be included.
Depending on the jurisdiction and the type of alcoholic beverage license, the sale of alcohol may be permitted ministerially (i.e., by right) or through a conditional use permit. For example, some cities require a CUP for all alcohol sales while others may allow the ministerial approval of beer and wine sales (Type 41 license)
Alcohol Sales 2
for bona fide restaurants but require a CUP for bars and taverns and for off-sale retail licenses.
Analysis
A. General – On-sale and Off-sale Alcohol Licenses: As shown in Attachments 2A and 2B, the City of Brentwood has 96 active on-sale retail licenses and 37 active off-sale retail licenses. The on-sale licenses range in use to include fullservice restaurants, fast casual restaurants (e.g., Chipotle), sports bars, Brentwood Golf Club, etc. Note that some businesses have multiple on-sale retail licenses for the same location. Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill, for example, has a Type 47 (On-Sale General – Eating Place), Type 58 (Caterer’s Permit), Type 68 (Portable Bar License), and Type 77 (Event Permit). Likewise, off-sale licenses include such uses as grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores, and gas stations.
B. Existing Regulations: The Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) does not have citywide development or operational standards regulating alcohol sales establishments. The BMC does, however, specify where alcohol sales establishments are allowed to operate in the City. Overall, the City’s zoning is not consistent on whether on- and off-sale alcohol sales are required to be approved by way of a conditional use permit, which would provide the City with discretionary review ability. For example, in the Downtown, most on- and off-sale alcohol sales (excluding bars) are permitted by right to sell alcohol up to 10:00 p.m. and then requires a Conditional Use Permit for sales after 10:00 p.m. In addition, all bars (Type 42 and Type 48 licenses) within the Downtown would require a Conditional Use Permit. In comparison, PD-6, Subarea RC (which governs properties in and around the Streets of Brentwood), allow for bars and restaurants as permitted uses with no hourly restrictions. Note that the BMC largely uses the term “liquor sales” to mean any business required to obtain an alcoholic beverage license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the purpose of selling alcoholic beverages for consumption either on- or off-site.
C. Locations: Alcohol sales establishments are allowed in most commercial zoning districts and in certain Planned Development Zones. Below are two tables, with brief descriptions of the requirements for each zoning district allowing alcohol sales. The first table lists the zoning districts that allow on-sale and off-sale licenses without a Conditional Use Permit as an automatically permitted use. The second table lists the zoning districts that require a Conditional Use Permit for either on-sale or off-sale licenses.

D. Potential Development Standards: As indicated above, there are no citywide development or operational standards regulating alcohol sales establishments in the Municipal Code. Only when a CUP is required has the City been able to consider applications on a case-by-case basis through the discretionary review process, but there are no regulations codified that City staff can apply during the review of a CUP or business license for alcohol sales. The development standards described below are some that are commonly employed by other cities. Separation from Sensitive Uses. Cities will often require a minimum separation distance from sensitive uses, particularly for off-sale alcohol sales establishments like liquor stores. Sensitive uses may include schools (public and private), established churches or other places of worship, hospitals, convalescent homes, public parks, playgrounds, and/or other similar uses. A jurisdiction may adopt a distance separation standard for sensitive uses to make sure drinking establishments are not too close to schools or youth facilities to prevent access to alcoholic beverages by minors.
At the state level, Business and Professions Code § 23789 authorizes, but does not require, ABC to deny issuance of a retail license for premises located within the immediate vicinity of churches and hospitals, and within 600 feet of schools, public playgrounds, and/or nonprofit youth facilities.
One question to consider regarding schools as a sensitive use is if nursery schools and preschools should be treated in the same manner as K-12 schools.
On the one hand, the negative impacts from having a bar or liquor store in close proximity to a preschool or elementary school are the same (e.g., public intoxication, advertisement of alcohol use, etc.), but on the other hand, where K-12 schools are typically limited to residential or institutional zones, nursery schools and preschools are often permitted in a broader area, including the commercial zones where alcohol sales establishments are also allowed.
Furthermore, where K-12 schools are perhaps more fixed in their locations, nursery schools and preschools can spring up with greater frequency, given their ability to open in more areas of a city. With that in mind, should nursery schools and preschools be allowed to locate at a given site if the proposed location is too close to an existing on- or off-sale alcohol sales establishment for risk of making the alcohol sales establishment nonconforming due to proximity?
Separation from Other Alcohol Sales Establishments. A city may adopt a distance separation standard between businesses that sell alcohol to prevent
Alcohol Sales 6
an oversaturation of bars or night clubs in a particular area or a concentration of off-sale alcohol sales establishments like liquor stores and convenience stores that sell alcohol. Separation distances vary in other jurisdictions from 300 feet to 1,500 feet, and the separation requirement could be reduced for off-sale establishments like grocery stores where the sale of alcohol is incidental to the primary retail use.
Hours of Operation. For any retail sales establishment with an ABC license, including restaurants, bars, grocery stores, pharmacies, liquor stores, etc., the sale of alcohol is prohibited from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. daily. Specifically, Business and Professions Code § 25631 states that “Any on-sale or off-sale licensee, or agent or employee of that licensee, who sells, gives, or delivers to any persons any alcoholic beverage or any person who knowingly purchases any alcoholic beverage between the hours of 2 o’clock a.m. and 6 o’clock a.m. of the same day, is guilty of a misdemeanor.”
The City may wish to further regulate the operating hours of certain alcohol sales establishments like liquor stores. Alternatively, a provision could be applied whereby the City could restrict a specific off-sale establishment’s hours of operation if the business in deemed to be in violation of any conditions of its CUP or for other reasons determined to be good cause.

LUD Summary and Further Discussion
Overall, LUD recommended that staff bring the discussion forward to the entire City Council since the topic was so wide ranging and had the potential to impact a large number of businesses throughout the City. In addition, LUD requested that when the item be presented to the City Council that additional information and considerations be presented including the following:
• Provide suggested definitions that provide separate distinctions between K-12 schools, preschool, and after school care.
o Consistent with the recently approved Innovation Center Specific Plan definitions, staff recommends using the following definitions within alcoholregulating provisions for consistency:
Day Care Center, Children means a facility (excluding residential childcare facilities) of any capacity that provides care and other services in a group setting during a portion of the day for children and licensed as such by the state of California.
Private Educational Facilities means any privately owned and operated elementary school, middle school, secondary school, high school, or other institution providing academic instruction for students from kindergarten through twelfth (12th) grade pursuant to the California Education Code.
Public School Facilities means any publicly owned and operated elementary school, middle school, secondary school, high school, or
Alcohol Sales 8
other institution providing academic instruction for students from kindergarten through twelfth (12th) grade pursuant to the California Education Code.
These definitions were requested by LUD to assist further discussion related to potential separation from sensitive uses. If the City Council wishes to consider adding separation requirements, then these uses would need to be better defined.
• Provide suggested definitions for markets, convenience stores, liquor stores, specialty markers with off-sale licenses.
o Consistent with the recently approved Innovation Center Specific Plan definitions, staff recommends using the following definitions for consistency:
Food and Beverage Stores – Convenience Store means easy-access retail stores of 5,000 square feet or less in gross floor area that carry a range of merchandise oriented to convenience and travelers’ shopping needs. These stores may be part of a service station or an independent facility. Also see “Food and Beverage Stores – Neighborhood Market” and “Food and Beverage Stores – Grocery Store” for larger stores or stores oriented toward the daily shopping needs of residents. Food and Beverage Stores – Grocery Store means a retail business of more than 15,000 square feet in size, where the majority of the floor area open to the public is occupied by food products packaged for preparation and consumption away from the site of the store. These fullservice businesses do not typically have limited hours of operation. See separate but related listings for “Food and Beverage Store – Neighborhood market” and “Food and Beverage – Convenience store.” Food and Beverage Stores – Liquor Store means a retail establishment that has fifty (50%) percent or more of the shelving or gross floor area devoted to the public display and sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption.
Food and Beverage Stores – Specialty Food & Wine means a retail store characterized by a limited number of high quality specialty food items and/or beverages typically including premium wine and beer. Food and Beverage Stores – Neighborhood Market means a pedestrian-oriented grocery/specialty market store offering food products packaged for preparation and consumption away from the site of the store and oriented to the daily shopping needs of surrounding residential areas. Neighborhood markets are more than 5,000 square feet and less than 15,000 square feet in size and operate less than 18 hours per day. For larger stores, see “Food and Beverage Store –
Alcohol Sales 9
Grocery Store.” Neighborhood markets may include deli or beverage tasting facilities that are ancillary to the market/grocery portion of the use.
These definitions were requested by LUD in order to make sure proposed amendments do not negatively impact potential economic growth and attraction of large merchants to the City. LUD recommended allowing offsite sales related to larger grocery stores, specialty food and wine stores and neighborhood markets while requiring Conditional Use permits for convenience markets where appropriate.
• Window Signage. For off-site retail establishments, stricter window signage regulations should be considered for advertisements of alcoholic beverages. • Location based Zoning. Consider individualized regulations for specific areas such as the Downtown, the Innovation Center, and PD-6 (Streets of Brentwood/Raley’s Center), while potentially creating one set of regulations for the rest of the City that would allow for consistency and more easily understood regulations.
On-Sale Licenses
Such regulations for the remaining areas of the City could include allowing byright on-sale restaurants to sell alcohol if they are not directly adjacent to sensitive uses. Uses adjacent to sensitive uses could potentially be permitted by-right if they maintain established hours of operation and close by a certain hour. Operations outside of the established hours would require Conditional Use Permit approval.
Off-Sale Licenses
New consistent regulations outside of the specified areas could also provide clarification and constancy related to off-site sales related to larger grocery stores, specialty food and wine stores and neighborhood markets, and convenience markets. Staff would recommend allowing by-right grocery stores, specialty food and wine stores, and neighborhood markets, while requiring a conditional use permit for all convenience stores and liquor stores.
A potential downside to these strategies however would be the potential to place new regulations on businesses and uses within the City in the zones identified in Table 1 that currently do not have operating restrictions, making many of the existing uses throughout the City non-conforming.

Requested Council Direction
In order to move forward with a focused update related to alcohol sales, staff needs direction on the recommended development standards and operational requirements for alcohol sales throughout the City. Staff has provided recommendations below and is requesting direction on the following:
1. Individualized and General Regulations: Overall, staff recommends that the City Council consider requiring individualized regulations for specific areas such as the Downtown, the Innovation Center, and PD-6 (Streets of Brentwood/Raley’s Center), while potentially creating one set of regulations for the rest of the City that would allow for consistency and more easily understood regulations.
2. Definitions: In addition, staff recommends that new definitions be created within alcohol-regulating provisions for the following:
• Day Care Center, Children
• Private Educational Facilities
• Public School Facilities
• Food and Beverage Stores – Convenience Store
• Food and Beverage Stores – Grocery Store
• Food and Beverage Stores – Liquor Store
• Food and Beverage Stores – Specialty Food & Wine
• Food and Beverage Stores – Neighborhood Market
3. No further restrictions for on-sale license: Staff does not recommend further restricting on-sale licenses within the City unless they are located adjacent to, or within a distance as recommended by City Council, to a Public School Facilities or a Private Educational Facility only.
4. Separation Requirements: Staff does not recommend implementing separation requirements from Child Day Care Centers at this time. Staff also recommends that all that the incidental sale of alcohol at all grocery stores, specialty food and wine stores and neighborhood markers be permitted byright where the use is allowed in the underlying zone.
5. CUPs: Staff recommends that all convenience stores and liquor stores be conditionally permitted where the use is allowed in the underlying zoning.
City Council Options
The following outlines the options for Council when considering the options for alcohol sales:
1. Support Staff Recommendation. If the City Council supports staff’s recommendations, staff will draft final language to be brought to the Planning
Alcohol Sales 11
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 recommending additional sensitive uses, or alternative location based zoning suggestions, 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
Maintaining the current guidelines and ability for on-sale and off-sale of alcohol sales by supermarkets, restaurants, wine tasting, bars and night clubs in the Downtown, Innovation Center and PD-6 (Streets of Brentwood/Sand Creek Crossing) is important to the economic vitality of the city and enables such establishments to maximize the ability to be successful in areas that are highly visible and help attract other businesses to the City. Other than the Downtown, the Innovation Center and PD-6 are both located near the Highway 4 Bypass and offer businesses the ability to cater to both locals and visitors alike. In addition, such establishments are partially buffered from existing residential districts due to the proximity of the highway.
Elsewhere in the city, permitting on-sales establishments to sell alcohol unless they are directly adjacent to sensitive uses enables restaurants to sell with meals, maximizing their potential to bring in new customers in an economic market that has shown to be difficult in recent years. In addition, creating consistency across all other zones helps to provide more assurances to new business that may be “on the fence” about opening up a new restaurant under difficult market conditions. In addition, requiring a Conditional Use permit for all convenience markets and liquor stores also helps to minimize the proliferation of such uses across the city. This includes both gas stations and convenience stores, where the sale of alcohol should be based on securing a Conditional Use Permit.

Chapter 17.695 ALCOHOL SALES ESTABLISHMENTS
17.695.001 Intent and purpose of chapter.
A. Intent. This chapter is intended to provide special provisions and development standards to regulate on-sale alcohol sales in order to minimize the negative secondary effects associated with alcohol sales and consumption which can be brought about by the concentration of alcohol sales establishments in close proximity to each other or in proximity to other incompatible uses, including schools (public and private) and residentially zoned districts or uses. This chapter shall be applicable to all properties in the City except for properties within the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan Area (Innovation Center), and PD-6. Regulations for properties located within the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan Area (Innovation Center), and PD-6 shall be found in each of their respected Code sections.
B. Purpose. It is, therefore, the purpose of this chapter to:
1. Establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the concentration of alcohol sales establishments or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while allowing the location of alcohol sales establishments in certain areas; and
2. Regulate alcohol sales in order to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the city.
17.695.002 Definitions.
The following terms and phrases are defined for the purposes of this chapter:
“Private educational facilities” means any privately owned and operated elementary school, middle school, secondary school, high school, or other institution providing academic instruction for students from kindergarten through twelfth (12th) grade pursuant to the California Education Code.
“Public school facilities” means any publicly owned and operated elementary school, middle school, secondary school, high school, or other institution providing academic instruction for students from kindergarten through twelfth (12th) grade pursuant to the California Education Code.
17.695.003 Minimum proximity to schools.
No on-sale alcohol sales establishment shall be located within a five hundred (500) foot radius from any existing school (public or private), except within the areas defined as the Downtown Specific Plan, the PA-1 Specific Plan Area (Innovation Center), and PD-6 for which no minimum separation distance from schools shall be required. The distance between a proposed on- or off-sale alcohol sales establishment
and an existing school shall be measured from the nearest exterior wall of the facility housing the alcohol sales establishment or proposed alcohol sales establishment to the nearest property line where the school is located, along a straight line extended between the two points.
17.695.004 Conditional use permit and proximity to residential uses.
No conditional use permit shall be required for an on-sale alcohol sales establishment except for the following:
A. Within 100 feet of a residential zoning district or use. If an on-sale alcohol sales establishment is within one hundred (100) feet of any existing residential zoning district or use then a conditional use permit shall be required. The distance between the proposed on-sale alcohol sales establishment and a residential zoning district or use shall be measured from the nearest exterior wall of the facility housing the alcohol sales establishment or proposed alcohol sales establishment to the nearest property line included within a residential zoning district or property in current residential use, along a straight line extended between the two points; or
B. Within 300 feet of a residential zoning district or use and open after 10:00 P.M.
If an on-sale alcohol sales establishment is within three hundred (300) feet of any existing residential zoning district or use and open after 10:00 P.M. then a conditional use permit shall be required. The distance between the proposed on-sale alcohol sales establishment and a residential zoning district or use shall be measured from the nearest exterior wall of the facility housing the alcohol sales establishment or proposed alcohol sales establishment to the nearest property line included within a residential zoning district or property in current residential use, along a straight line extended between the two points.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.5
02/24/2026
SUBJECT: 2026 Community Day of Service and Amendment to the 2025/26 General Fund Operating Budget
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
STAFF: Harith Aleem, Director of Parks and Recreation
Thien Nguyen, Recreation Manager
Amanda Chaney, Recreation Supervisor
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends formally adopting the Community Day of Service as the City of Brentwood - Community Day of Service by:
1) appointing Mayor Susannah Meyer as a liaison to work with Parks and Recreation staff and community members on the 2026 event, 2) amending the 2025/2026 General Fund Operating Budget in the amount not to exceed $3,000, and
3) annually funding the event from the General Fund Budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
Depending on direction from the City Council, City staff has developed cost estimates for the Community Day of Service. Over the past two years, while the event was externally organized, the City supported it by waiving $1,811 in facility rental fees and providing staff time from a Recreation Supervisor to support the event. If the event is formally adopted as a City-sponsored event moving forward, staff is recommending an annual General Fund allocation of $3,000 to cover staffing, supplies, and marketing estimates of $2,880 for the event (Attachment 4).
If staff is directed to move forward with the event, an amendment to the FY 25/26 General Fund Operating Budget in the amount of $3,000 will be required.
Additionally, if directed, staff will include costs for the Community Day of Service event in the draft 2026/27 – 2027/28 General Fund Operating Budget to be presented for City Council consideration at the Operating Budget workshop in May of 2026.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.5
02/24/2026
BACKGROUND
The City of Brentwood has a long history of supporting community service initiatives.
These events have provided residents with opportunities to volunteer while enhancing public spaces and fostering community pride.
In 2023, then-Council Member Meyer proposed expanding these efforts by establishing a Community Day of Service. The inaugural event was collaboratively organized by Council Member Meyer, a City staff representative, and two community members. Together, they coordinated service project identification, volunteer recruitment, and overall event logistics. City staff supported the effort by reserving facilities, assisting with marketing, and coordinating with multiple City departments to ensure successful implementation (note these costs, as they were allocated in 2023, are highlighted in gray in Attachment 4)
Over the past two years, the Community Day of Service has operated as a collaborative effort without a single organization formally owning or leading the event. While this approach has been effective during the event’s early stages, the continued growth in participation, number of service projects, and overall scope has increased the level of logistical coordination required. As the event continues to expand, certain operational and organizational functions may be more appropriately and efficiently managed by the City.
With the City taking ownership of the event, some operational changes would be needed to comply with existing City policies and procedures. This could include requiring insurance for non-City-owned project host organizations, increasing the number of City and City partner project locations, and handling registration in-house to protect the personal information of registrants. Participant waivers would also be needed. The event’s coordination would still include community partners and local residents.
For the 2026 event, staff recommends the Parks and Recreation Department internally establishing a Community Services Committee composed of residents passionate about volunteerism. This allows members of the Brentwood community to participate in the preparation, planning and day-of operations for the Community Day of Service, and to ensure the event has connections and relevance to community groups and residents. By working with past organizers, this would minimize disruption and drastic changes to the event as it is known to the community. For continuity and organization, staff is also recommending Mayor Meyer work with staff as a liaison for the Committee and event for 2026.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.5

Funding for the event is recommended to come from the General Fund. Staff intends to work with the Community Service Committee and local organizations to seek funding, donations, and grants to offset General Fund expenditures after the April 18, 2026 event. Staff intends to work with the Community Service Committee and local organizations to seek funding, donations, and grants to offset General Fund expenditures.
As a part of researching this event, staff benchmarked against other local cities on their processes and procedures for similar Community Day of Service type events (Attachment 3).
Staff recommends formally adopting the Community Day of Service as the City of Brentwood - Community Day of Service by:
1) appointing Mayor Susannah Meyer as a liaison to work with Parks and Recreation staff and community members on the 2026 event, 2) amending the 2025/2026 General Fund Budget by $3,000, and 3) directing staff to provide annual funding for the event from the General Fund Operating Budget.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.6
02/24/2026
SUBJECT: Informational Report on Brentwood Traffic Operations and Status Reports on Valley Green Drive and Lone Oak Road Updates DEPARTMENT: Engineering
STAFF: Anju Pillai, Engineering Manager
Allen Baquilar, Director of Engineering/City Engineer
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Receive an Informational Report on Brentwood Traffic Operations and a status report regarding resident-reported vehicle cut-through and safety traffic concerns on Valley Green Drive and Lone Oak Road.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
BACKGROUND
The City of Brentwood regularly receives traffic-related concerns from residents regarding speeding, cut-through traffic, and neighborhood safety. These concerns are an important source of community input and help the City identify locations where further evaluation may be warranted.
Traffic concerns are typically reported to the City through resident service requests, direct communication with Council Members, neighborhood meetings, or City staff.
Upon receipt, concerns are logged, reviewed, and prioritized based on location, reported issues, and potential safety implications.
The City’s approach is to evaluate concerns using data-driven methods and established traffic engineering practices to ensure that any actions taken are effective, equitable, consistent citywide and reflect the City Engineer’s application of his or her best professional judgment.
How the City Reviews Traffic Concerns
When a traffic concern is reported, staff may take the following steps:
1. Initial Review
o Confirm location and nature of the concern
o Review any prior history of complaints or studies in the area
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.6
02/24/2026
o Determine if the concern relates to a neighborhood street or arterial roadway
2. Data Collection
o Traffic volume and speed
o Collision history review
o Field observations by staff
3. Assessment
o Compare collected data to established engineering standards and applicable thresholds
o Evaluate roadway characteristics (lane widths, sight distance, connectivity, nearby schools/parks, etc.)
o Consider whether the issue is localized or system-wide Guiding Principles and Standards
In determining appropriate Engineering responses, the City generally relies on the following guiding principles:
1. Data-Driven Decision Making
Actions are based on objective data rather than anecdotal reports alone. This helps ensure fairness, consistency, and effective use of public resources.
2. Safety First
The primary consideration is improving safety for all roadway users, including drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and persons with disabilities.
3. Use of Established Standards
The City applies recognized industry standards and best practices, such as:
o California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) o Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) guidelines o Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) best practices o Applicable City policies and ordinances
2014 General Plan
Strategic Plan FY 2022/23 – FY 2023/24
Local Roadway Safety Plan (Attachment 1)
4. Context-Sensitive Solutions
Not all streets function the same. Residential streets, collectors, and arterials serve different purposes and are evaluated accordingly.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.6
02/24/2026
5. Balanced Approach
As a part of the evaluation of potential solutions the City seeks to balance the considerations for neighborhood livability, emergency vehicle access, traffic circulation needs, cost effectiveness and community input.
Response
The City recognizes that traffic concerns may be addressed through enforcement and/or engineering measures led by the Police Department and Engineering Department, respectively. These are summarized in the following table:
PD Enforcement Engineering
Portable trailers with speed feedback signs Modified/additional signage Targeted speed enforcement Signal timing adjustments DUI enforcement Fixed speed feedback signs
Complaint-based patrols Traffic calming measures (when warranted)
Striping modifications
Roadway design changes
Enforcement by the Police Department is typically the first step in addressing traffic concerns and can be effective for short-term behavior change and at locations with clear violations. Enforcement also provides valuable insight and data that feeds into formulating appropriate Engineering measures that may be needed. Engineering measures are evaluated carefully because they can have broader impacts, costs, and long-term implications.
Fiscal Years 24/25 & 25/26 Engineering Outcomes
To provide additional context regarding the City’s responsiveness, implementation efforts, and ongoing commitment to traffic safety and mobility, Attachments 2 and 3 summarize Engineering Department activities over the past two fiscal years.
Attachment 2 includes a table outlining program-level accomplishments undertaken to enhance safety, accessibility, and multimodal mobility throughout Brentwood.
These efforts reflect continued progress toward regional traffic safety goals, infrastructure improvements, and interagency coordination initiatives.
Attachment 3 includes a table documenting traffic-related inquiries received from residents and stakeholders, along with the corresponding staff evaluations, actions taken, and outcomes. Collectively, these records demonstrate the Department’s
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.6
02/24/2026
proactive approach to addressing community concerns, applying established engineering criteria, and implementing data-driven solutions where warranted.
Valley Green Status Report
Staff received reports from residents regarding traffic concerns on 1) Valley Green Drive between Central Boulevard and Minnesota Avenue, 2) Central Boulevard between Valley Green Drive and Minnesota Avenue, and 3) Minnesota Avenue from Central Boulevard to Balfour Road.
In response, the Police Department followed up with residents to gather information and deployed radar speed trailers in front of 799 Valley Green Drive facing eastbound on 01/15/2026 through 02/10/2026. A second radar trailer was placed facing westbound across the street on 01/20/2026 through 02/10/2026. In addition, Police performed targeted enforcement on Central Boulevard between Valley Green Drive and Minnesota Avenue, resulting in a total of 20 citations over 7 operations.
Engineering staff also performed a review of the existing street signage and striping on Valley Green Drive, a residential street with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph). As a result, Public Works staff installed 7 additional speed limit signs on Valley Green Drive. Staff also gathered traffic counts and a speed data over 7 consecutive days from 01/27/2026, to 02/02/2026.
The data was evaluated in accordance with the City’s standardized speed hump placement criteria and multi-way stop warrant methodology; the findings do not justify speed hump installation or additional all-way stop controls on Valley Green Drive. Attachment 8 summarizes the speed hump evaluation based on existing speed, volume of traffic and geometry of the roadway. Additionally, Central Boulevard and Minnesota Avenue are arterial roadways each with a speed limit of 35 mph.
Pedestrian crossing across Central Boulevard and Minnesota Avenue is provided at the nearby signalized intersections at Fairview Avenue and Minnesota Avenue along Central Boulevard.
Lone Oak Status Report
Additionally, staff received reports from a resident on Lone Oak regarding cutthrough traffic and speeding on Lone Oak Road and Caper Drive. Both streets are classified as residential streets with a speed limit of 25 miles per hour.
Staff conducted a townhall meeting on 01/16/2025, to discuss traffic-related concerns in the vicinity of Marsh Creek Elementary, Vineyards Academy, and the surrounding neighborhoods. At that time, concerns were primarily related to the new
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.6
02/24/2026
Orchard Grove and Orchard Grove North subdivisions, which are expected to add a total of 85 homes with access onto Adams Lane.
A review of traffic circulation conducted at that time did not meet the criteria for speed humps on Lone Oak or Caper; however, staff indicated that staff would rerun analysis as the nearby development progresses to consider any changes in traffic conditions. Following the town hall, staff also coordinated with Marsh Creek Elementary School to improve pick-up and drop-off circulation and reduce conflicts among pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles on Adams Lane.
In response to recent reports, Police performed two directed enforcement details on Lone Oak Road. The first was on 01/30/2025 between 3:00 and 3:30 pm during school pickup. Only five vehicle were seen traveling this roadway and none were speeding. The second was on 02/04/2026 between 1:40 and 2:55pm during school pickup. Eleven vehicles used this roadway at that time with a top speed of 32 mph.
One citation was issued for a stop sign violation to a citizen who lives on Lone Oak Road.
Engineering staff also performed a review of the existing street signage and striping and as a result is currently working with Public Works staff to install seven additional speed limit signs on Lone Oak Road. Staff also gathered traffic counts and speed data over seven consecutive days from 01/27/2026, to 02/02/2026.
The data was evaluated in accordance with the City’s standardized speed hump placement criteria and multi-way stop warrant methodology; the findings do not justify speed hump installation or additional all-way stop controls along Lone Oak Road or Gracie Lane. Attachment 8 summarizes the speed hump evaluation based on existing speed, volume of traffic and geometry of the roadway.
Conclusion
In summary, City staff responded to the concerns received from residents and followed the City’s established process, including coordination with enforcement for immediate operational issues and conducting data-driven engineering analyses to determine whether traffic control enhancements were warranted. Where supported by adopted criteria, appropriate actions were implemented.
The City recognizes that traffic conditions are dynamic and subject to change over time. Changes in nearby land use, buildout of approved residential subdivisions, shifts in school enrollment or circulation patterns, regional traffic growth, roadway construction projects, or alterations to adjacent traffic controls may all influence
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.6
02/24/2026
traffic volumes, speeds, and driver behavior. As such, locations previously evaluated may warrant future review if conditions materially change or new data indicates that established thresholds are met.
The City remains committed to monitoring conditions, applying objective standards, and revisiting locations as appropriate to ensure continued safety and mobility throughout Brentwood.

1. INTRODUCTION
This Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies factors associated with the most prevalent vehicle crashes occurring in the City and proposes matching countermeasures to reduce or eliminate those crashes. This report identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the City’s transportation network. The emphasis areas include the type of crash, certain locations, and notable relationships between current efforts and crash history. The LRSP analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and city-wide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network allows for the following opportunities:
Identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for roadway users of all modes of travel.
Improve safety at high-crash locations and locations which experience a disproportionately high number of fatal and severe injury crashes.
Develop safety measures aligning with the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Five Es of safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies, to encourage safer driver behavior and more favorable severity outcomes.
The process and analysis performed for the City’s LRSP includes a summary of vision and goals, crash history analysis, the establishment of emphasis areas, an equity assessment, a countermeasure toolbox, and a set of policy recommendations. The information compiled will provide a foundation for decision making and prioritization of safety countermeasures and projects that enhance safety equitably for all modes of travel within the City. The expanded implementation section will provide guidance to the City on applying for grant funding from various safety programs.
The intent of the LRSP is to:
Create a greater awareness of road safety and risks
Reduce the number of fatal and severe-injury crashes
Develop lasting partnerships
Provide support for grant funding opportunities
Aid in the prioritization of investments in traffic safety

2. VISION, GOAL, AND OBJECTIVES
The Brentwood LRSP evaluates the transportation network as well as non-infrastructure programs and policies within the City. Mitigation measures are evaluated using criteria to analyze the safety of road users (drivers and passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians), the interaction of modes, influences on the roadway network from adjacent municipalities, and the potential benefits of safety countermeasures. This effort utilizes historical data to identify trends and develop a toolbox of countermeasures applicable to conditions in the City that can be used for proactive identification and implementation of opportunities, without relying solely on a reaction and response to crashes as they occur.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) maintains a list of Proven Safety Countermeasures. The list currently has 20 Proven Safety Countermeasures, and LRSPs are included on the list of 20 Proven Safety Countermeasures. Implementation of LRSPs has improved safety in local jurisdictions across the country by providing a guide for local jurisdictions to systematically address the conditions that lead to fatal and severe-injury crashes. They provide a locally developed and customized roadmap to directly address the most common safety challenges in the given jurisdiction. Following discussions with Brentwood staff and a review of existing plans and policies for the area, the following Vision, Goals, and Objectives have been established for this project.
Vision: Support the California vision of moving towards significantly reducing fatalities and severe injuries for all road users.
Goal Objectives
Goal 1: Identify areas with a high risk for
crashes.
• Evaluate the City’s roadway network for
crash activity.
• Identify intersections and segments in
need of mitigation.
• Identify areas of interest with respect to
safety concerns for pedestrians and
bicycles.
Goal 2: Illustrate the value of a comprehensive
safety program and the systematic process.
• Demonstrate the systematic process’
ability to identify locations with higher
risk for crashes based on present
characteristics closely associated with
severe crashes.
• Demonstrate, through the systematic
process, the gaps and data collection
activities that can be improved upon.
City of Brentwood LRSP 13 May 2025

process that can be used in forthcoming funding cycles. • Demonstrate the correlation between
the proposed safety countermeasures
with the Vision Zero Initiative and the
California State Highway Safety Plan
(SHSP).
Goal 4: Identify emphasis areas to prioritize
countermeasure application.
• Use systematic crash analysis to
identify emphasis areas.
• Prioritize emphasis areas for
countermeasure development.

Projects for Implementation of
Countermeasures.
• Identify conceptual priority projects for
implementation.
• Identify similar areas where
countermeasures can be
implemented.
• Prioritize these countermeasures for
implementation based on cost, effort,
and timeline.

3. PROCESS
The primary goal for the City of Brentwood and their safety partners is to provide safe, sustainable, and efficient mobility choices for their residents and visitors. Through the development and implementation of this LRSP, the City will continue its collaboration with safety partners to identify and discuss safety issues within the community.
Guidance on the LRSP process is provided at both the national (FHWA) and state (Caltrans) level, and both agencies have developed a general framework of data and recommendations for an LRSP.
The FHWA encourages:
The establishment of a working group (Stakeholders) to participate in developing a LRSP The review of crash, traffic, and roadway data to identify areas of concern The establishment of goals, priorities, and countermeasures to recommend improvements at spot locations, systemically, and comprehensively
Caltrans guidance follows a similar outline with the following steps:
1. Establish leadership
2. Analyze the safety data
3. Determine emphasis areas
4. Identify strategies
5. Prioritize and incorporate strategies
6. Evaluate and update the LRSP
This LRSP documents the results of data and information obtained, including the vision, goals, and objectives for the LRSP; existing safety efforts; crash analyses; emphasis areas; the City’s existing countermeasure toolbox; and potential countermeasures for select priority locations. The development of the LRSP recommendations considers the Five Es of traffic safety defined by the California SHSP: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies throughout its process.
3.1. Guiding Manuals
The following section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within the City at a systemic level. Using a network screening process, locations within the City that will most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. Using historic crash data, crash risk factors for the entire network are derived. The outcomes will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle crashes as well as active transportation users.
This process uses the latest national and state best practices for statistical roadway analysis described in the following sections.
3.1.1. Local Roadway Safety: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners The purpose of Local Roadway Safety: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.7, April 2024) (LRSM) is to encourage local agencies to pursue a proactive approach to identifying and analyzing safety issues, while positioning themselves to be eligible for competitive federal, state,
City of Brentwood LRSP 15 May 2025
and local grant programs for project implementation funding opportunities. A proactive approach is defined as analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network through either a one-time, network wide analysis, or by routine analyses of the roadway network.
According to the LRSM, “The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Local Assistance is responsible for administering California’s federal safety funding intended for local safety improvements.”
To provide the most benefit and to be competitive for grant funding, the analysis leading to countermeasure selection should focus on both intersections and roadway segments and be considerate of roadway characteristics and traffic volumes. The result should be a list of locations that are most likely to benefit from the implementation of cost-effective countermeasures, preferably prioritized by benefit/cost ratio. The LRSM suggests using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify and rank locations that consider both crash frequency and crash rates. These findings should then be screened for patterns such as crash types and severity to aid in the determination of issues causing higher numbers of crashes and the potential countermeasures that could be most effective. Qualitative analysis should include field visits and a review of existing roadway characteristics and devices. The specific roadway context can then be used to assess what conditions may increase safety risk at the site and systematic level.
Countermeasure selection should be supported using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs). These factors are the peer reviewed product of before-and-after research that quantifies the expected rate of crash reduction that can be expected from a given countermeasure. If more than one countermeasure is under consideration, the LRSM provides guidance on how to apply CMFs appropriately.
3.1.2. Highway Safety Manual
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Highway Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010, presents a variety of methods for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety of locations. This four-part manual is divided into Parts: A) Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals, B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C) Predictive Method, and D) Crash Modification Factors.
Chapter 4 of Part B of the HSM discusses the network screening process. The network screening process is a tool for an agency to analyze their entire network as well as identify and rank locations that (based on the implementation of a countermeasure) are most to realize a reduction in the frequency of crashes.
The HSM identifies five steps in this process:
1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose or intended outcome of the network screening process. This decision will influence data needs, the selection of performance measures and the screening method that can be applied.
2. Identify Network and Establish Reference Populations: Specify the types of sites or facilities being screened (i.e. segments, intersections, or geometrics) and identify groupings of similar sites or facilities.
3. Select Performance Measures: There are a variety of performance measures available to evaluate the potential to reduce crash frequency at a site. In this step, the performance measure is selected as a function of the screening focus and the data and analytical tools available.
City of Brentwood LRSP 16 May 2025
4. Select Screening Method: There are three screening methods described in this chapter:
ranking, sliding window, and peak searching. Each method has advantages and disadvantages; the most appropriate method for a given situation should be selected.
5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The final step in the process is to conduct the screening and analysis and evaluate the results.
The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks to identify high risk locations based on overall crash histories.
3.2. Analysis Techniques
Intersections and roadways were analyzed using four crash metrics:
Number of Crashes
Equivalent Property Damage Only (HSM Ch. 4)
The initial steps of the crash analysis established sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this LRSP, intersections were grouped by their control type (signalized and unsignalized) and segments by their roadway category (arterial, collector, minor collector, and local). Individual crash rates were calculated for each subpopulation. The sub-population level crash rates were then used to assess whether a specific location has more or fewer crashes than expected. These sub-populations were also used to determine typical crash patterns to help identify locations where unusual numbers of specific crash types are occurring.
The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each one over the analysis period and then identifies areas that had more of a given type of crash than would be expected for that type of location. The crash type factors were:
Crash severity - fatal, severe injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain, and property damage only (PDO)
Crash type - broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, and other
Environmental factors – lighting and wet roads
Driver behavior - impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving From the results of the network screening analyses, a short-list of locations was chosen based on crash activity, crash severity, crash patterns, location type, and area within the City to provide the greatest variety of locations covering the widest range of safety opportunities for countermeasure toolbox development. The intent is to populate the safety countermeasure toolbox with mitigation measures that will be applicable to most of the crash activity in the City.
The EPDO method is described in the Highway Safety Manual. This method assigns weighting factors to crashes based on injury level to develop a property damage only score. In this analysis, the injury crash costs were calculated for each location based on the latest Caltrans injury costs. This value is then divided by the injury cost for a property damage only crash. The resulting number is the equivalent number of property damage only crashes at each site. This value allows all locations to be compared based on injury crash costs. (HSM, Chapter 4).
The results of the network screening analysis for both intersections and roadway segments is presented in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively.

4. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
As part of the LRSP development, project stakeholders were identified and included in the process to ensure the local perspective was kept at the forefront of this planning effort. A stakeholder group comprised of staff from various City and County departments as well as key community members was formed. A complete list is available in the acknowledgements on page iii.
These stakeholders were called together to offer insight on the safety issues present in the City’s transportation network. The stakeholder group met on April 22, 2025 to review the results of the network screening and crash data analysis, provide comments, and ask questions.

Top East Sub-Region Comments
1. “I feel like this intersection should have a light that once a cycle all cars stop and it lets all 4 crosswalks go at the same time. This would seriously cut down on who gets to go when. It so frustrating as a pedestrian but even more so as a driver.” 3 upvotes. [McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln]
2. “The cross walk to go to Brentwood Elementary school is extremely dangerous during drop off every single morning. Need a cross guard and cops. Everyone is always running stop signs and in a rush. Only a matter of time when someone is severely injured.” 3 upvotes. [Brentwood Elementary School]
3. “Trail is on both sides of Lone Tree, but with a stop light only down the way without good path access to the light and too little protection for bikes and pedestrians from such a busy road.” 2 upvotes. [Lone Tree Way and Trail Xing West of Anderson Ln]
4. “4-way crosswalk, only 2 ways protected by a crossing guard during school hours. Heavy traffic at all 4 corners. I have personally almost been hit while walking with my children on the unprotected side of the crosswalk and have witnessed children, walking on their own, almost being hit. The drivers are paying most of their attention to the crossing guard, so the unprotected crosswalks drivers rush through. I have also witnessed the crossing guard while stopping traffic, almost be hit by cars.” 2 upvotes. [McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln]
5. “4-way crossing for students walking/biking to school unsafe from all corners.” 2 upvotes. [McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln]

6. REVIEW OF PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Existing plans, policies, and projects that were recently completed, planned, or are on-going within the City were compiled at the start of the LRSP process in order to gain perspective on the existing efforts for transportation-related improvements within the City. High-level key points regarding transportation improvements and safety-related topics were identified to inform decision making in this LRSP. The following plans and documents were reviewed:
Capital Improvement Programs, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 City of Brentwood General Plan, 2014
Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan, 2002
Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan Update, 2019 City of Brentwood Emergency Operations Plan, 2013
Contra Costa Countywide Vision Zero Action Plan, 2022
Contra Costa Transportation Authority Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP): East County Action Plan, 2023
Contra Costa County Active Transportation Plan
The City of Brentwood seeks to improve roadway safety by implementing the Safe System Approach. The Safe System Approach, as defined in the Caltrans SHSP, is built upon the following principles1
:
• Death and serious injuries are unacceptable
• Humans make mistakes
• Humans are vulnerable
• Responsibility is shared
• Safety is proactive
• Redundancy is crucial
While engineering countermeasures are a critical part of preventing fatal and severe injury crashes, the City also recognizes that policy plays a key role in safety as well. The city performed a literature review of relevant policies and programs to identify other means by which the Safe System Approach and road safety could be further established.
Appendix C presents a summary of local programs, policies, and practices as well as considerations of how they can be improved or enhanced to further support and prioritize road safety.

7. DATA SOURCES
The following data was obtained from the City for use in crash data analysis.
7.1. Roadway Network
The crash analysis, which is described in detail in Section 3, requires each corridor within the City to be classified. The City’s roadway network obtained directly from the City was categorized using FHWA’s roadway classification system provided in the roadway network. The roadway network classification was assigned to each corridor roadway segment as either a major arterial, minor arterial, collector, or local road. This was done in order to compare the functional design and capacity to better stratify analysis results, only comparing roadway segment safety performance with similar peer roadways (i.e., only arterials are compared to arterials, etc.) within the City.
7.2. Intersections
The crash analysis also requires each intersection within the City to be classified by control type.
Intersections throughout the City were classified by control type as either signalized or unsignalized (including roundabouts). The safety analysis also only compares intersection safety performance with similar control types (i.e., signalized intersections are only compared to signalized intersections, etc.) within the City.
7.3. Crashes
Injury collision data for the most recent five-year period (January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023) was used for the collision analysis. Using data from the past five-year period is sufficient to identify potential trends in crashes by location and types, while not being so long as to have data that would include long-term technology and cultural changes. The collision data was obtained from UC Berkeley’s SafeTrek Transportation Injury Mapping System. Collision records were allocated to intersection and the roadway network segments.
Knowing the impacts of the crash (the injuries or type of damage which occurred) is a key part of assessing the environment and safety factors around the site of the crash. The TIMS dataset used for this analysis categorizes crashes in the following categories:
• 1 – Fatality
2 – Severe injury
3 – Other Visible Injury
4 – Complaint of Pain
Property damage only or “fender bender” crashes that did not result in any forms of injury are not included in this dataset. This LRSP includes crashes which occurred on the City’s roadway network (including intersections which border City limits). However, crashes along Highway 4 were not included as these belong to Caltrans right-of-way and are outside the jurisdiction of the City of Brentwood. It should be noted that though crashes along Highway 4 are not included in this study, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) is a key stakeholder in the development of this LRSP and is responsible for responding to incidents along Highway 4. CCCFPD’s ability to respond to crashes on Highway 4 is dependent upon the City’s local roadway network and can be impacted by congestion or crashes on local roads.

8. SAFETY TRENDS
The following sections contain the results of the analysis process which included evaluation of Brentwood fatal and severe injury (KSI) crashes compared to statewide levels, among other evaluations including crashes by severity level, cause, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes.
8.1. Brentwood KSI Crashes Compared to Statewide KA Crashes The California SHSP focuses on 16 challenge areas identified by the SHSP Executive Leadership and Steering Committees after an in-depth analysis of California KSI crash data as well as an extensive statewide outreach process that involved hundreds of diverse traffic safety partners around the state. Collisions can be attributed to 13 of the 16 challenge areas. Table 1 presents a summary of City’s historic challenge areas (2013-2022) by comparing KSI crashes to the statewide KSI crashes.
The City of Brentwood was higher than the statewide average in the following eight areas: Aggressive Driving, Impaired Driving, Intersections, Lane Departure, Young Drivers (15-20), Aging Drivers (≥65), Distracted Driving, and Occupant Protection.

8.4. Annual Crashes
Figure 8 presents the number of annual crashes on roads in the City of Brentwood beginning in 2019.
The year with the most crashes was 2019, with a total of 150 crashes. Annual crashes trended downwards in the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, with 2020 having the least number of crashes. Annual crashes have generally trended upwards since 2020.
It is likely that the COVID-19 pandemic influenced crash trends in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, the number of daily household trips decreased due to widespread shelter-in-place orders; fewer vehicles on the road could be connected to fewer vehicle conflicts and thus fewer crashes. However, reduced roadway volumes and congestion could also be connected to increased vehicle speeds, a phenomenon that numerous law enforcement agencies have reported. As volumes returned to “prepandemic” levels in 2021, law enforcement agencies in California anecdotally noted that vehicle speeds remained high; it is theorized that this pandemic-era aggressive driving behavior has persisted and is partially contributing to the increase in annual crashes than can be seen since 2020.

8.7. Lane Departure Crashes
Caltrans defines crashes involving lane departure as those with crash types listed as ‘Head-On’, ‘HitObject’, or ‘Overturned’. This also includes instances where a vehicle runs off the road or crosses into the opposing lane prior to the crash. There were 145 lane departure crashes over the study period in the City, with an average of approximately 29 lane departure crashes per year. Of the 145 lane departure crashes, 4 were fatal, 19 were reported with severe injuries, 95 with other visible injuries, and 27 with complaints of pain.

8.8.2. Impaired Driving Crashes
Impaired driving crashes include all crashes where there was evidence of drug or alcohol use by the driver. Drivers do not need to exceed the legally defined threshold of intoxication to be counted, as Caltrans considers any level of alcohol consumption to have the potential to impact driver responsiveness and decision making. There were 41 impaired driving crashes between 2019-2023, three of which resulted in a fatality and seven of which resulted in severe injuries. Figure 16 depicts the impaired driving crashes within the City. The intersection segment Sand Creek Rd & Fairview Ave to Sandstone Dr was the one segment with a crash due to impaired driving. A list of the intersections in order of the highest to lowest number of crashes due to impaired driving is shown below:

9. DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC ASSESSMENT
This LRSP includes a citywide demographic and socioeconomic analysis to better understand how different population groups in the City of Brentwood are impacted by road safety. The framework used to guide the analysis is followed by a summary of the methodology. The equity analysis considers demographics and collisions, followed by general takeaways related to the equity and safety data. The analysis seeks to inform policy and program recommendations for the City in accordance with state and federal equity goals, with the objective of promoting equitable infrastructure investments which will enhance road safety for all road users.
9.1. Framework
This section applies a socioeconomic and demographic approach to the safety analysis conducted for the LRSP to supplement the technical collision data analysis by identifying any correlations between equity and safety data, in accordance with federal and state guidelines. This ensures that vulnerable and disadvantaged populations can benefit from additional safety considerations.
Meeting the needs of equity populations is a critical step in equitable distribution of resources and outcomes. As such, the equity analysis aims to summarize key safety and equity findings.
9.1.1. Federal Policies
Equity analysis in transportation planning became solidified by two key federal policies: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Executive Order (EO) 12898 in 1994. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. EO 12898 directs all federal agencies to develop an Environmental Justice Strategy that, “identifies and addresses the disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations.” Both policies mandate transportation agencies to identify, address, and serve disadvantaged communities through their work.
More recently in 2021, EO 14008 was signed establishing Justice40 with the goal that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution. Previously published Justice40 tract maps and tools, specifically the recently archived US DOT Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer, were utilized in the equity analysis to identify disadvantaged communities. Although the US DOT ETC Explorer has been recently archived, the dataset is critical in identifying historically disadvantaged communities.
9.1.2. State Policies
California SB 535 (2012) directs investments of cap-and-trade funds towards “Disadvantaged Communities” (DACs). The SB 535 DAC Map (2022) was established to identify DACs throughout the state of California.
The equity analysis conducted as part of the LRSP initiated with an analysis of the 2022 California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) SB 535 DAC Map, a 2022 Justice40 tract map, the US DOT ETC Explorer, and the CEJST to determine if any tracts within the city were considered disadvantaged. The equity analysis identified four disadvantaged communities outlined in the
City of Brentwood LRSP 44 May 2025
recently archived US DOT ETC Explorer. See Figure 20 for Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Census Tracts in the City of Brentwood.
9.2. Methodology
Equity demographics were analyzed to better understand the population. The equity analysis builds on the crash data analysis from the LRSP and forms the basis for the equity policy and program recommendations provided.
Demographic data for the city’s population was collected from the United States Census American Community Survey (US ACS) 5-year estimates for 2023 for total population by race/ethnicity, age, and income to identify equity communities within the city. Age was included in the demographic data to capture the city’s young and aging populations.
9.2.1. Underserved Communities
Brentwood is located within an urbanized area with a population of approximately 64,2923 as of 2020. Figure 19 displays the 2020 population in the City of Brentwood broken down by age and sex.

9.3. Demographic and Socioeconomic Assessment
The City of Brentwood is home to a diverse population. This section reports on the demographics data of road users in Brentwood as collected from the US Census Bureau and processed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Bay Area Vision Zero (BayVIZ) System. In terms of race and ethnicity, white people make up the largest population of crash victims by race/ethnicity in Brentwood at 48.8% and Hispanic or Latino origin account for 17.4% of crash victims. Persons of black heritage and other/unknown are overrepresented in fatal and severe injury crashes, accounting for 10.8% and 19.7% of fatal and severe injury crashes though they only account for 9% and 6.6% of the population, respectively. Figure 21 below provides a breakdown of populations by race and ethnicity and crash victims by race and ethnicity in Brentwood.
Figure 21 — Collision Victim Demographics by Race/Ethnicity in the City of Brentwood Source: Bay Area Vision Zero (BayVIZ) System, Fall 2023, Accessed April 2025 According to the 2023 American Community Survey, 29.2% of households in Brentwood speak a language other than English at home. Spanish is spoken in 13.0% of households; other IndoEuropean languages and Asian and Pacific Islander languages are spoken in 5.8% and 9.0% of households, respectively4

Figure 23 — Mode Share in Brentwood
Source: BayVIZ 2025 and U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year 2019-2023 The City aims to increase the mode share for these active modes of transportation by making the City’s roadway network safer through infrastructure improvements, education, and community engagement. The options available to the City to improve its roadway network identified in the LRSP countermeasure toolbox will benefit residents, students, and individuals who travel across the City to access destinations. Implementing safety improvements will serve to mitigate disparity by increasing the safety for residents that commute via active transportation.
Approximately 19.1% of the total severe and fatal crashes in the City from 2019-2023 occurred within the disadvantaged communities. Figure 24 presents severe and fatal crashes citywide and within disadvantaged communities. Pedestrian and bicycle collisions in the disadvantaged communities account for approximately 35.7% of all citywide pedestrian and bicycle collisions. Figure 25 presents pedestrian and bicycle collisions citywide and within the disadvantaged communities from 2019-2023. Approximately 29.4% of all citywide injury collisions were located within disadvantaged communities from 2019-2023. Figure 26 presents all citywide collisions by severity and identifies the disadvantaged communities. The disadvantaged community census tracts account for approximately 22.7% of the land area within the City (approximately 2,155 acres of land is designated as a disadvantaged community within approximately 9,510 acres of city area) yet disproportionately experience more overall collisions and more pedestrian and bicycle collisions than the rest of the city.

Crash data from TIMS ranging from 2019-2023 was reviewed to determine the parties at fault in vehicle-pedestrian/bicycle crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists and is presented in Figure
29. Approximately 82.8% of crashes involving vulnerable road users were due to driver violations.
The most common driver violations were improper turning (turning at a distance unnecessarily far from a curb, turning without using turn signals, or making a type of turn prohibited by signage) and pedestrian right of way violations (making a maneuver from a motor vehicle without respecting the right-of-way of a pedestrian) each account for approximately 17% of vulnerable user collisions.
Followed by traffic signals and signs (collision was caused by inadequate, inconsistent, and/or confusing signage) at 16% and automobile right of way (making a maneuver without respecting the right-of-way of another driver) at 14%. Six percent of crashes involving vulnerable road users were due to pedestrian violations, and 9% were not assigned fault. Pedestrian violations included the following: pedestrian failure to cross at crosswalks between adjacent traffic signal controlled intersections (1%), pedestrian failure to yield ROW when crossing outside of marked and unmarked crossings (4%), and pedestrian failure to follow “WALK” or “WAIT” or “DON’T WALK” signals (1%).

10. RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections provide more information on potential engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that might address conditions that were observed to contribute to crash activity in the City.
10.1. Engineering Countermeasures
The following sections contain a description of Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) and Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs) associated with the engineering countermeasures toolbox.
10.1.1. Crash Modification Factors
When identifying potential systemic safety improvements, it is important to look at CMFs for the proposed improvements. The CMF Method is found in Part D of the HSM. CMFs are defined as the ratio of effectiveness of one condition in comparison to another condition and represent the relative change in crash frequency due to a change in one specific condition. Countermeasures with CMFs less than one are expected to reduce crashes if applied, while those countermeasures with CMFs greater than one are expected to increase crashes. Figure 30 illustrates the definition of CMFs.
Figure 30 — CMF Calculation
A Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) is similar to a CMF but stated in different terms. A CRF is defined as a percentage of crash reduction that might be expected after the implementation of a given countermeasure at a specific site. In application, the higher a CRF value is, the more effective the countermeasure is at preventing crashes. The countermeasures proposed in this LRSP were chosen because of their effectiveness in reducing crashes, especially those most commonly occurring in the City.
10.1.2. Engineering Countermeasures Toolbox
The systemic improvements identified as most likely effective to be for Brentwood are listed in Table 5, and include a wide range of countermeasures that can be implemented in phases where appropriate. Many of these proposed countermeasures have already been implemented in the City, including but not limited to pedestrian countdown signal heads, conversion of stop-controlled intersections to roundabouts, and installation of retro-reflective backplates on traffic signal heads.
The CMF indicates how effective the countermeasure is at reducing crashes. CMFs and CRFs have been provided for reference to aid the City of Brentwood in understanding potential reductions from crashes by different countermeasures. Caltrans funding levels for each countermeasure are also provided to aid the City in determining what the local match would likely be if the City were to pursue grant funding. Most countermeasures are eligible for Caltrans funding up to 90%, though some are lower.

Six project case study locations were selected for further analysis and recommendations. For each of these locations, recommended countermeasures were developed to provide a case study to organize projects when applying for funding. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, the observed crash patterns, and their differing characteristics to provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits. The countermeasures are listed in Table 7.
An additional set of low-cost countermeasures is also recommended for systemic implementation across the City. These improvements include installing retroreflective signage and traffic signal backplates, as well as a recommendation to follow the requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 413 to restrict parking within 20 feet of crosswalks on the vehicle approach side with the goal of improving visibility for all road users (also known as daylighting)8 . AB 413 was signed into law on October 10,
2023, with ticketed enforcement being permitted following January 1, 2025. While daylighting may be conducted with low-cost treatments such as signage, painted curbs, or raised delineators, it is recommended that the City also conduct outreach to inform the public about this new law and its impact in removing parking spaces.

10.2. Non-Infrastructure Countermeasures
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Countermeasures that Work, Ninth Edition, is a reference to assist safety stakeholders in selecting effective, science-based noninfrastructure traffic safety countermeasures for major highway safety problem areas. While many of the countermeasures are more appropriate to apply at the state-level or require legislative modifications to implement, Table 8 contains countermeasures that have demonstrated effectiveness and could be applied at the City level. Note that while there are several other noninfrastructure countermeasures available, only those which have an effectiveness rating of four stars or higher are presented. Access to Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training for law enforcement is not included in the document but are countermeasures that could also be considered for the City.

11. EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
11.1. Evaluation
The success of the LRSP can be evaluated using the general process outlined below. This process can be useful to monitor progress towards implementation of safety improvement projects and strategies, and to determine when updates to the LRSP should be considered. Law enforcement continues monitoring and recording of traffic incidents on local roadways. Conduct frequent progress meetings (annually or quarterly) betweenCity staff and a working group (i.e. traffic safety committee) to review the latest crash data, including assessing the effectiveness of safety countermeasures implemented, discussing ongoing traffic safety challenges, and tracking progress on plan implementation. Maintain a list of focus/priority areas where there are transportation safety concerns based on review of crash data. The list of priority and/or top crash locations can be updated as an outcome of review of updated crash data and trends.
Perform an update to the plan after no more than five years. It is recommended that updates to the LRSP be approved by City Council and made available to the public in accordance with Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Plan guidance.
11.2. Implementation
Implementation of the LRSP can be accomplished through development and implementation of safety improvement projects and strategies, the establishment of new/updated policies and programs, and development/strengthening of relationships with stakeholders.
With regard to projects, the following section identifies potential focus areas for the City in the nearto-mid-term.
11.2.1. Near- and Mid-Term Focus Areas
The opportunities identified in this LRSP provide more of the systemic countermeasures that can be applied within the City. Over the next three to five years, it is recommended that the City concentrate its efforts on the following emphasis areas:
1. Aggressive Driving
2. Speeding
3. Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians & Bicyclists)
4. Intersections with Unconventional Geometries
Analysis conducted at the citywide level indicated that these factors were some of the most frequent influences contributing to crashes within the City. The countermeasure opportunities previously discussed in this report for both systemic and project-specific improvements can be used as a basis for developing projects at locations where addressing these focus areas would be of the most benefit. Projects that address these focused areas can be developed with a high benefit-to-cost ratio (by applying City-wide crash rates), allowing competitive projects to be developed even at sites with little to no direct crash history, but with conditions that might contribute to future crashes.
City of Brentwood LRSP 64 May 2025
11.3. Funding
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in Brentwood. The City should continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout Brentwood. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply.
11.3.1. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
The HSIP is a Federal program housed under Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This program apportions funding as a lump sum for each state, which is then divided among apportioned programs. These flexible funds can be used for projects to preserve or improve safety conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for nonmotorized transportation, and other project types. Safety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
New or upgraded traffic signals
Upgraded guard rails
Pedestrian warning flashing beacons
Marked crosswalks
California’s local HSIP focuses on infrastructure projects with national recognized crash reduction factors. Normally HSIP call-for-projects is made at an interval of one to two years. The applicant must be a city, a county, or a tribal government federally recognized within the State of California.
Additional information regarding this program at the Federal level can be found online at:
https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/. California specific HSIP information – including dates for upcoming call for projects - can be found at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.html.
11.3.2. Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
The SS4A Grant Program is a federal program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. A total of $5 billion are available from 2022-2026 in the form of planning grants and implementation grants. Grant applications for projects that implement the Safe Systems Approach, such as those related to speed management, improvements in underserved communities, and vulnerable road users, are encouraged. Implementation grant projects must be identified in an applicant’s qualifying Safety Action Plan. The SS4A Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet describes the required elements of an Action Plan and can be accessed at: https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2024- 02/SS4A-FY24-Self-Certification-Worksheet.pdf
Additional information about implementation grants can be found at:
https://www.transportation.gov/grants/ss4a/implementation-grants
11.3.3. Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP)
Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a statewide funding program, created in 2013, consolidating several federal and state programs. The ATP funds projects that encourage increased mode share for walking and bicycling, improve mobility and safety for non-motorized users, enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding include:
Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects
City of Brentwood LRSP 65 May 2025
Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects (e.g. safe routes to school) Non-infrastructure programs (education and enforcement) This program funding is provided annually. The ATP call for projects typically comes out in the spring.
Information on this program and cycles can be found online at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/atp/
11.3.4. State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) provides state and federal gas tax money for improvements both on and off the state highway system. STIP programming occurs every two years.
The programming cycle begins with the release of a proposed fund estimate, followed by California Transportation Commission (CTC) adoption of the fund estimate. The fund estimate serves to identify the amount of new funds available for the programming of transportation projects. Once the fund estimate is adopted, Caltrans and the regional planning agencies prepare transportation improvement plans for submittal. Caltrans prepares the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) using Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds, and regional agencies prepare Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIPs) using Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds. The STIP is then adopted by the CTC.
11.3.5. California SB 1
SB 1 is a landmark transportation investment to rebuild California by fixing neighborhood streets, freeways, and bridges in communities across California and targeting funds toward transit and congested trade and commute corridor improvements.
California’s state-maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue:
$26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies, and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
o This will go to cities, counties and regional transportation agencies to build or convert more bike paths, crosswalks and sidewalks. It is a significant increase in funding for these projects through the ATP.
Local Planning Grants: $25 million
11.3.6. California OTS Grants
This program has funding for projects related to traffic safety, including transportation safety education and encouragement activities. Grants applications must be supported by local crash data (such as the data analyzed in this LRSP) and must relate to the following priority program areas:
Alcohol Impaired Driving
Distracted Driving
Drug-Impaired Emergency Medical Services
Motorcycle Safety
Occupant Protection
Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
Police Traffic Services
Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing Program
City of Brentwood LRSP 66 May 2025
Roadway Safety and Traffic Records
11.3.7. ABAG Regional Funding Programs
ABAG provides funding allocation for various multi-modal transportation projects in the Bay Area.
Projects that are considered for this regional funding program must be eligible for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Rural Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), or STIP funds.
Performance outcomes which are considered for selection include those which:
Reduce regional VMT per capita
Reduce regional congest VMT per capita
Increase multi-modal or alternative travel choices
Provide long term benefits, sustaining both rural and urban economies Improve movement of goods, in and through the region
Improve safety and security
Maintain and improve upon the existing transportation system

1 Adams Ln and Grant St
Cars always block bike lane or ignore crosswalk pedestrians. I’ve witnessed three close calls to kids on bike or walking getting hit by vehicle when they attempt to make a right turn on grant from adams.
0 2 Amber Ln and Salice Way We need to have a safety crosswalk between Salice Way and Amber Lane to allow kids to cross and attend Pioneer Elementary School safely. 0
3 American Ave and Heritage
High School North Driveway
This should be at the top of the list to fix. 0
4 American Ave and Heritage
High School South Driveway
There is only one way in and out of the access road to Adam’s MS and Heritage HS. During drop off and pick up times traffic is really bad. Creating an alternate entrance/exit would be extreme beneficial.
1 5 Anderson Ln North of
Kenwood Dr
After you leave the Brentwood Park there are no side walks or bike lanes as you approach Lone Tree. It very dangerous to walk or ride your bike on Anderson to Brownstone as well. 0 6 Armstrong Way S of Nunn St
People treat armstrong way like their personal drag race strip at all times of day. The noise is a nuisance and obviously safety is a concern as well. Some sort of traffic calming is in order!
0 7 Ascot Pl West of Dover Ct Many car speed thru Brentwood park around each exit/entrance 0 8 Balfour Rd and Brentwood
Blvd
Only one crossing guard and its a 4 way intersection, the guard stays on one corner by Jamba Juice only. I always see cars running lights and on top of that some kids crossing on foot or on bikes don't look and I've seen some close calls. 0 9 Balfour Rd and Tradition Way History of pedestrians hit by cars here. Needs a stop sign 1 10 Brentwood Blvd and Birch St
Children of all ages cross the street here and there is no crosswalk. The city is well aware that kids cross here with no safety measures in place and has done nothing about it. They are going to continue to cross here because it is simply the only route 2 11 Brentwood Blvd and Birch St Seriously need an over the road pedestrian bridge. 0 12 Brentwood Elementary
School
The cross walk to go to Brentwood Elementary school is extremely dangerous during drop off every single morning. Need a cross guard and cops. Everyone always running stop signs and in a rush. Only a matter of time when someone is severely injured. 3 13 Brentwood Elementary
School
I agree, and the people who park at the church and cross there instead of walking to the crosswalk is a problem. I know the principal goes out there to direct traffic, but it is a nightmare for those of us who live in the area and have to drop kids off. 0 14 Brentwood Elementary
School
The area is a big problem. I walked with my kids to school and drive them to school also.
The problems are drivers parking at the side of the street, parking at bike lanes and at the bus stop and leaving their vehicles unattended. Drivers not stopping, r 2

In Brentwood red lights still mean you can go, this is a huge problem out here. Will not allow my kids to cross the street to walk to school, which doesn’t help with the traffic to the schools that only have one way in and one way out.
0 17 Larkspur Ln
Speeding on Larkspur Lane is out of control. Nearly every car that drives down this street is at least 10 miles over the speed limit, some people drive down this street at 60mph. The city sent out a survey for speed bumps and ‘did not receive enough re 0 18 Lone Tree Way and Trail Xing

Trail is on both sides of Lone Tree, but wit a stop light only down the way without good path access to the light and too little protection for bikes and pedestrians from such a busy road. 2 20 McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln 4 way crossing for students walking/biking to school unsafe from all corners 2 21 McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln
4 way crosswalk, only 2 ways protected by a crossing guard during school hours. Heavy traffic at all 4 corners. I have personally almost been hit while walking with my children on the unprotected side of the crosswalk and have witnessed children, walking 2 22 McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln
I see cars driving through crosswalks while children have not cleared the crosswalk completely, daily. Have almost been hit several times. Crossing guard only crosses two of the 4 crosswalks. The crosswalk linking the new development, Villagio, is unmanned 1 23 McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln
I feel like this intersection should have a light that once a cycle all cars stop and it lets all 4 crosswalks go at the same time. This would seriously cut down on who gets to go when. It so frustrating as a pedestrian but even more so as a driver. 3 24 Mendota St and Garin Pkwy Traffic and walking safety mostly during school release hours 0 25 Minnesota Ave and Sand

School Circulation
Improvements
Issues related to congestion in and around the intersection of American Avenue and Balfour Road during school pick‐up and drop‐off times for Adams Middle School and Heritage High School
Congestion near the two schools is largely due to their location and limited access. The City has prioritized safety by adjusting and regularly reviewing signal timing while pursuing a near‐term program with the County and Caltrans to improve flow on Balfour Road. Long‐term plans include extending American Avenue to add another access point, though this would not fully eliminate congestion. The City is coordinating with schools and partner agencies on operational improvements and will continue exploring solutions while keeping residents informed.
School Principal Kids Safety Vehicles are parking close to the crosswalk, ignoring red‐zone, creating potentially unsafe conditions for the kids to cross on Farmington Drive, in front of Mary Casey Elementary School Staff has secured grant funding to install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) for the crosswalk.

The Trilogy community requested the City to install all‐way stop signs at the Triology Parkway/Solera St and Andalucia Lane/Sacred Mountain Lane intersections with Vineyard Parkway (2 locations).
Staff determined an all‐way stop is not warranted at the intersection, improved sight distance by triming or removing foliage, enhancing speed limits with additional signage and pavement markings, and radar speed feedback signs. Staff was also successful in securing funding for an addtional rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs). City Council directed staff to install the all‐way stop signs at both intersections.
Residents Flashing Stop Signs Residents reported unsafe conditions when crossing Empire Avenue from Amber Lane.
The intersection qualifies for a traffic signal however there is no funding designated. With the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) adopted, staff will pursue grant funding to fund the traffic signal design and installation. Staff has improved sidewalk visibility through restriping and enhanced the stop bar visibility.
With no noticeable improvements, staff utilized grant funding to purchase and install the flashing stop signs.
Resident Accessibility Issue Resident reported difficulty for a person on a wheelchair to reach and push one of the pedestrian buttons at the intersection of Balfour Road and Brentwood Boulevard. Staff reviewed the issue and worked with the County to determine a solution that resulted in the installation of a button extender to provide access to the button for wheelchair users Resident Mirrors Resident reported difficulty in making turns from Livorno Street and Carrara Street, requested the City install mirrors to allow drivers to see around corners Staff reviewed the issue and is working on adding stop bars and striping to provide better guidance to drivers.
Resident Enhance Safety Crosswalk ‐ Dainty & Walnut Staff reviewed the request and enhanced the existing crosswalks with fresh ladder‐crosswalk striping, yield line markings and additional signage.
Resident Enhance Safety Crosswalk ‐ Cental & Berry Staff reviewed the request and enhanced the existing crosswalks with new rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), fresh ladder‐crosswalk striping , yield line markings and additional signage.
Staff Enhance Safety Crosswalk ‐ McClarren & Griffith Staff enhanced the existing school school crosswalk with new ladder crosswalk markings.
Staff Stop Bars Balfour Road and Sellers Avenue Staff enhanced the existing stop signs by adding reflective bars underneath the signs. This location was identified as high injury location for unsignalized locations in the LRSP Resident Speeding Lone Oak Rd Staff will be installing additional speed limit signs. Staff evaluated the criteria for installing speed humps and determined that the location does not warrant a speed hump.
Residents Speeding Valley Green Drive
Staff installed additional speed limit signs. Staff is planning to add center line striping in the future to provide visual delineation of lanes to drivers. Staff evaluated the criteria for installing speed humps and determined that the location does not warrant.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________ Speed Bump Placement Criteria
Speeding on residential streets is a concern that is often brought to the attention of the City.
Enforcement is a potential method to address this concern, but limitations on resources cannot guarantee constant presence. Speed bumps are often requested as a possible solution to speeding concerns. Staff has evaluated speed bump policies from numerous jurisdictions and compiled the following policy for the City of Brentwood.
The City will mail ballots to residents and post signs on the proposed street and cross streets.
Informational letters will be sent to residents on neighboring streets.
A. Research has indicated that speed bumps have the following advantages:
1) Vehicle speeds are decreased at the speed bump and at locations between properly spaced speed bumps
a. Once in place, speed and volume modifications tend to remain constant over time
b. Research has also indicated the following disadvantages:
2) Speed bumps will often divert traffic to other streets, especially where the traffic volume is comprised of “cut-thru or short cut” traffic. Consequently, an additional traffic problem or speed bump request is created.
3) Emergency response time will increase
B. Residents may object about the aesthetics regarding the speed bumps, markings and signing required
1) Possible increased noise levels
2) In order to achieve the desired effect, a number of speed bumps are required. A single speed hump will act only as a point speed control. 3) Driving or riding over speed bumps can cause pain or discomfort for persons with certain physical disabilities.
C. Roadways that meet all of the following criteria will be considered for the placement of speed bumps:
1) Lanes width (40 feet maximum)
2) Not a designated truck, bus (school or public) or emergency route 3) Street includes curb and gutter
4) Speed limit is 25 mph
5) Maximum grade is 5%
6) Minimum length of 750 feet
7) Traffic volume is between 500 and 2,000 vehicles per day AP- N Attachment 3: Page 280 of 298
AP- N
D. The factors included in the decision to place speed bumps shall include the following:
1) 85th percentile speed exceeds 32 mph
2) 50% of the vehicles exceed 25 mph
3) 67% of the residents on the street approve of the installation (1 vote per residence)
4) 75% of the property owners adjacent to the hump approve of the installation (1 vote/residence)
E. Other factors to be considered by the City include:
1) Speed related accident history
2) Diversion and possible impacts to neighboring residential streets 3) Approval by emergency service providers
4) Funding constraints
F. If speed bumps are approved they shall be placed in the following fashion:
1) Spacing of 500 feet (+/- 50 feet)
2) 200 feet from any intersection, horizontal or vertical curve 3) Speed bump signs and markings will be included
