Project Title: Project #:

Sunset Field Natural Turf Improvement 352-52432
Description/Justification:

This project will convert the natural turf at Sunset Park soccer fields A, B and C from the existing Fescue/Rye blended turf to a Hybrid Bermuda turf. The project will consist of removing all existing turf in the playing areas of fields A, B and C, leveling of the fields, adding and rototilling in soil amendments, prep work and irrigation adjustments followed by the installation of new Hybrid Bermuda sod. The current Fescue/Rye blended turf at soccer fields A, B and C is not withstanding the amount of player use and is resulting in deteriorated fields at a premature time. The Hybrid Bermuda turf is much stronger and can recover from high use much faster than the current turf.

Project Status:

The design and construction phase of this project is anticipated to begin in FY 2030/31.

Supplemental Information:

The goal for this project is to get soccer fields A, B and C at Sunset Park converted to a turf that is more practical for the high use it receives annually.

Trail Pavement Management - 2026 352-52457

Description/Justification:

This project includes slurry seal, crack seal and asphalt repair in City parks, parking lots and all City maintained pedestrian/bicycle trails. There are twenty-one (21) parking lots and thirty-one (31) trail sites included in this project. These sites are evaluated on an annual basis to ensure they meet the City requirements. Damage is caused by vehicular traffic and soil movement. Some damage is also caused by surface roots from trees in close proximity to the trails. Hardscape renovation is needed to prevent injuries and further catastrophic failure. Identification and correction of non-ADA compliant trail entry points is needed as well.

For FY 2025/26, the work will include the front parking lot at Sunset Park.

Project Status:

The construction phase is estimated to be complete in Fall 2026.

Supplemental Information:

This has been determined to be an annual program due to the volume of parking lots and trails Citywide, with staff prioritizing based on annual inspections.

Project Title: Project #:

Underground Water System Corrosion Mitigation 562-56320 Description/Justification:

This project will install cathodic protection systems on metallic water lines and valves and fittings on fire hydrants, as required.

Cathodic protection is an efficient and cost effective method of protecting the buried metallic structure from either costly repairs or future replacement due to corrosive soils.

Project Status:

Construction of this project is anticipated to be completed in FY 2026/27.

Supplemental Information:

City staff completed analysis of the cathodic protection system for existing metallic water lines and the estimated construction costs were developed based on those findings. The project is funded by Water Development Impact Fees and the Water Enterprise Fund. This project will reduce and prevent the amount of emergency work on the water facilities due to ruptures caused by corrosion and minimize the amount of water lost each year due to leakage caused by corrosion, resulting in reduced future annual O & M costs.

Zone 2 Reduced Water Pressure Zone 562-56411
Description/Justification:

The Balfour Road and Summerset Drive pressure-reducing valve provides flow to provide service pressure to the Apple Hill and Summerset 1 neighborhoods during peak high-demand periods. This flow is largely made available by the pumping provided by Pump Stations 2.1 and 2.2, creating higher energy costs for the City. This project will isolate the valves within these neighborhoods from Zone 1 and make the area a “Zone 2 – Reduced” pressure zone. This new zone would be serviced exclusively by the Sand Creek and Balfour pressure reducing stations and as each reducing station has more than one valve and enough capacity for fire flow demands, these pressure reducing valves would only allow as much flow as is required by the residences in this area.

Project Status:

The preliminary design is underway, with the final design and construction phases anticipated in FY 2026/27.

Supplemental Information:

This project will be funded by the Water Enterprise Fund.

Citywide Non-Potable Water Distribution System 592-59202 Description/Justification:

In FY 2021/22, the City constructed non-potable water mains along Fairview Avenue and Sand Creek Road, a Recycled Water Pump Station 2.1 (RWPS 2.1) and 14 meter conversions from potable to non-potable for irrigation. This project primarily consists of upgrades to RWPS 2.1 including the electrical switchgear, upsizing pumps and constructing an on-site storage tank.

Recent data collection shows that there continues to be a growing demand for non-potable water, requiring upgrades and improvements to the non-potable water distribution system. This includes RWPS 2.1, which must be improved to provide sufficient flow and capacity, as well as the existing pump that receives raw water from the East Contra Costa County Irrigation District canal adjacent to RWPS 2.1, for rare augmentation when needed. The City is working with a consultant to study current operations, collect additional data and provide a report with any further recommendations.

Project Status:

The remaining portion of this project is in the design phase, with design anticipated to be complete in FY 2026/27 and construction is anticipated to be complete in FY 2027/28.

Supplemental Information:

The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) discharges recycled water into Marsh Creek at the rate of nearly 4 million gallons per day (MGD) in the winter and roughly 1 MGD in the summer. Utilization and blending of this valuable resource is a major strategic component for compliance with the requirements of the WWTP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.

This reduces the reliance and associated treatment costs on potable water and complies with both State and City mandates on increasing recycled water usage.

This project is funded by a State Water Resources Control Board Revolving Fund (SRF) loan, consisting of approximately 20% State and Federal grants and 80% loan, which will be repaid from the Wastewater Development Impact Fee and the Wastewater Enterprise Funds. A portion of this project has been funded by the State Proposition 1 Integrated Regional Water Management grant ($250,000), with matching funds from the City’s Parks and LLAD Replacement Funds ($353,792). There will be future annual O & M costs from routine water maintenance, such as line location, flushing, valve exercising, pump station, site security system, etc.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Headworks Rehabilitation 592-59210 Description/Justification:

The headworks of the WWTP stands as pivotal infrastructure in the treatment process, with multiple sections requiring replacement, repair and expansion. The aging main influent pump Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are 25 years old and are no longer supported by the manufacturer, making parts procurement and repairs progressively challenging. The barscreens are also approaching the end of their operational lifespan, prompting the necessity for replacement while adding a third bar screen to complete design buildout. Additionally, portions of the concrete structure are corroding, and warrant a comprehensive evaluation and spot repairs. A temporary bypass system would be needed to convey the influent to the facility during this rehabilitation.

Project Status:

This project is anticipated to begin construction in FY 2028/29.

Supplemental Information:

The Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has two influent barscreens that were installed in 2002 and rebuilt in FY 2012/13. The addition of a third barscreen is necessary to handle increased flows to the treatment process. Funding for this project comes from the Wastewater Replacement Fund and Wastewater Development Impact Fee Funds. Future annual O & M costs will be approximately $5,000 annually, consisting of electrical power to operate and preventative and corrective maintenance of the equipment.

Fleet Electrification 337-37265

Description/Justification:

In September 2020, the State of California, by Executive Order N-79-20, set the goal that 100% of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks will be zero-emission by 2035, as well as medium and heavy-duty trucks by 2045 for all operations where feasible.

In November 2021, the State established a goal for public fleets to transition to 100% zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2030, where feasible. This requires public fleets to be converted to electric vehicles, making it necessary to design and install charging stations at City facilities. The City has roughly 100 vehicles that are candidates to transition to electric vehicles, and roughly 8 to 10 of these vehicles are replaced annually. Completion of the electrical infrastructure necessary to support this project at other City sites will be necessary in future years, and will allow for the charging of electric vehicles at the various locations they are used at. The key component of this project is the planning for the additional electrical power required to utilize the electric vehicle chargers.

Project Status:

This project is in the construction phase and is anticipated to be complete in FY 2027/28.

Supplemental Information:

Order N-79-20 requires 50% of fleet vehicles purchased with a gross vehicular weight rating of >8,500 pounds beginning in 2024 to be ZEVs, with 100% of purchases being ZEVs beginning in 2027. The City has roughly 100 vehicles that fit this definition.

Roughly 8 to 10 of these vehicles are replaced annually. This means the City needs to install charging infrastructure for 4 to 5 vehicles in use at the Corporation Yard now, with additional chargers installed each year as the fleet is converted to ZEV’s.

Completion of this electrical infrastructure is necessary to support this project at other City sites and to enable future charging of mandated replacement vehicles as older gasoline and diesel units are replaced in the coming years. The key component of this project is the planning for the extreme amount of required Kilowatt voltage that must be pulled into the City-designated sites to support the large vehicle volume that will be utilizing the electric vehicle chargers. Funding for this project will come from the General Fund, Solid Waste Enterprise ($169,063), Water Enterprise ($148,377) and Wastewater Enterprise ($121,115) funds. The City was also conditionally approved for $2,655,453 in grant funding by 1) Bay Area Air Quality Management District ($1,876,200), 2) Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles ($522,253), and 3) PG&E EV Fleet Electrification Program ($257,000). In addition to the conditionally approved grants, up to $569,000 is expected from an Inflation Reduction Act Solar Investment Tax Credit. If this additional funding is received, the General Fund and Enterprise Fund expenditures will be eliminated or reduced accordingly. There will be future annual O&M costs consisting of routine maintenance and minor repairs of the charging stations.

GUIDE TO FUNDS – DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS
Fund Accounting System
The City uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance, and to aid financial management, by segregating transactions related to certain City functions or activities.

Governmental Fund Types

Capital Project Funds account for financial resources segregated for the acquisition of major capital projects or facilities (other than those financed by proprietary fund types).

Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources for and payment of, interest and principal on general long-term debt and related costs.

Fiduciary Fund Types

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XX

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BRENTWOOD: ADOPTING THE 2026/27–2030/31 CAPITAL

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP)
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65400, et seq., provide that, after adoption of all or part of a general plan, the City is to identify reasonable and practical means for implementing the General Plan so that it serves as an effective guide for orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open-space land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds relating to subjects addressed in the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 65401 requires proposed public works recommended for planning, initiation, or construction during the ensuing fiscal year to be submitted for review and report as to conformity with the adopted General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brentwood adopted the most recent General Plan Update in July 2014, which states the City may include General Plan items in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as the City deems appropriate; and WHEREAS, General Plan policy requires inclusion of certain capital projects sponsored by the City and necessary to achieve General Plan action items in the fiveyear CIP; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the CIP is to integrate capital planning with the General Plan and other City activities, and to ensure that planning for capital improvements is tied to realistic funding sources; and
WHEREAS, this CIP includes projects that have been carefully evaluated to ensure: (1) the City’s capital improvement needs are met, both now and in the future (2) the projects support the City’s Mission Statement, General Plan, and most recent City of Brentwood Strategic Plan, and (3) available funding sources are identified; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to define improvements and anticipated construction schedules to ensure proper pre-planning, design and community review before construction begins; and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 2026, City Finance staff met with the Budget and Debt Management Ad Hoc Committee and reviewed a preliminary draft of the 2026/27 – 2030/31 CIP; and
WHEREAS, on April 14, 2026, the proposed 2026/27 – 2030/31 CIP was presented to the City Council at the CIP Workshop and the draft CIP was updated to incorporate Council direction from that workshop; and

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Brentwood at a regular meeting held on the 26th day of May 2026 by the following vote:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Approve amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to the adoption of Objective Design Standards for Residential and Mixed-Use Development needed to comply with State law as required by the City’s adopted Housing Element implementation policies
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
STAFF: Alexis Morris, Director of Community Development Erik Nolthenius, Planning Manager
Jennifer Hagen, Principal Planner

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Introduce and waive first reading of an Ordinance approving text amendments (RZ 25-001) to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to the adoption of Objective Design Standards for Residential and Mixed-Use Development including adding Chapter

17.825 - Objective Design Standards and Chapter 17.815 - By-Right Approval Process as well as other updates throughout the Municipal Code needed to comply with State law as required by the City’s Housing Element.

The text amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15378, and 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that they may have a significant effect on the environment.

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

BACKGROUND

RELEVANT STATE LAWS
The intent of Objective Design Standards (ODS) is to address recent changes in state law that seek to streamline and increase housing production, by making approval

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
processes more routine and predictable. A key component of several of these new laws is increased limitations on discretionary review processes, placing a greater emphasis on objective design and development standards as the primary criteria for project approval or denial. Relevant laws include those adopted as part of the 2017 "housing package" (a series of 15 separate pieces of legislation), including SB 35 (Wiener), which allows "by right" approval of certain housing projects, followed by more recently passed legislation, notably SB 330 (Skinner) (extended by SB 8), the Housing Crisis Act.

SB 330 placed additional limitations on project review and the application of objective design standards to all multi-family residential units, not just those that are affordable, to further encourage housing production. Specifically, SB 330 amended the Housing Accountability Act to clarify, among other things, that design review must be objective and “strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects, as well as any reasonable objective design standards” (i.e., non-subjective) (Government Code § 65913.4(d)(1)). As defined by State law, objective design standards “involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the applicant or development proponent and the public official prior to submittal, and includes only such standards as are published and adopted by ordinance or resolution by a local jurisdiction before submission of a development application.” SB 330 also prohibits cities from adopting new standards or enforcing standards established on or after January 1, 2020, that are not objective.

It is important to note that under these legislative changes, the role of design review bodies in cities will be required to evolve with the introduction and implementation of objective design standards. For example, there will be instances where the City will be limited in its ability to apply subjective design standards and conditions of approval. Thus, it is important for the City to prepare and adopt appropriate objective standards to continue to implement its design review goals where discretionary review is limited.

With these new laws and procedures in place, and expecting the emphasis on objective standards to continue in future legislation, it is in the City’s interest to have a robust group of residential design and development standards (i.e., objective design standards) in place, to ensure that projects deliver high-quality design, appropriate site planning, and amenities, and are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and the community.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026

CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION
On January 24, 2023, the City Council provided direction on reinitiating the City’s Zoning Code Update, including the creation of objective design standards for new residential development. The current Residential Design Guidelines (adopted by the City in 2006) articulate the importance of high-quality design that complements and enhances the existing fabric of the community. The 2006 guidelines expressed the community’s desires and ensured that new residential development respected the past, while embracing the future and welcoming new residents. However, many of the current guidelines are subjective relative to the review of new development.

On June 27, 2023, the City Council unanimously adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1059, implementing Interim Objective Design Standards for residential housing projects. On December 12, 2023, the City Council held a Special Meeting to discuss and provide direction on initial goals and objectives for a comprehensive set of Objective Design Standards for Residential and Mixed-Use Development (ODS), as well as to provide direction on the format of the document itself. Since then, staff held a community meeting on March 27, 2024, and conducted an architectural preference survey that was advertised on social media and City feeds. Based on the City Council’s direction, De Novo Planning Group and JZMK Partners, in collaboration with City staff (collectively referred to as the project team), have prepared the first draft of the ODS that will replace the current interim standards.

On May 19, 2025, staff presented an introduction of the Draft ODS to the Land Use and Development Committee and invited the community to provide comments to the City. This coincided with the introduction of an initial public comment period that was advertised on social media and City feeds. In addition, staff updated the City’s website to include the initial Draft ODS, as well as the 2006 Residential Design Guidelines for reference. Since the publication of the Draft ODS on May 16, 2025, staff has not received any comments.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
On September 16, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the proposed amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to the Draft ODS. During the meeting, the Planning Commission discussed several potential recommended changes to the document. After discussion, the Planning Commission continued the item to October 21, 2025 to allow additional time to review the proposed ODS.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 2025
On October 21, 2025, the Planning Commission again considered the proposed amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to the Draft ODS. During the meeting, the Planning Commission discussed several potential recommended changes to the document. After discussion, the Planning Commission requested that the changes discussed be incorporated into the document and be brought back again to the Planning Commission for review prior to moving the item forward to the City Council.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 17, 2026
On March 17, 2026, the Planning Commission again considered the proposed amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code related to the Draft ODS that had been revised based on direction provided on October 21, 2025. Specific direction related to roof materials, contemporary architecture, increased objectivity, and miscellaneous recommended changes throughout the guidelines were incorporated prior to the final review. A full discussion and a complete summary table of the requested changes by the Planning Commission and how each of the items are addressed, can be found within the March 17th agenda report. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission was supportive of the revised ODS draft and text amendments. The Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 25-015, recommending that the City Council approve the amendments as presented in the agenda report with minor, non-substantive changes. The Zoning Code amendments related to the Objective Design Standards and statutory requirements are included in Attachments 3, 4, and 5, and the Draft Objective Design Standards are included as Attachment 6, Exhibit D.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
The City Council initiated amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to implement new residential objective design standards and to provide effective implementation of the Housing Element. The proposed text amendments to the Brentwood Municipal Code are needed to comply with state law as required by the City’s Housing Element Implementation Program Action H.1g: Residential Design Guidelines.

Action H.1g: Residential Design Guidelines
Continue implementation of the City’s approved Residential Design Guidelines and encourage a variety of housing types to continue to provide safe, sound, and attractive for units all residents. The intent of these guidelines is to express

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
the housing design features the City would like to encourage in order to improve certainty and to minimize the processing time for design review applications. The City will also review the Residential Design Guidelines for subjective language and adopt modifications to promote objectivity – as of January 24, 2023, the City Council has approved to create objective standards for all residential uses by the end of 2023.

Based on preliminary City Council direction, as well as Planning Commission direction provided on October 21, 2025, the City prepared the attached revised draft of the Residential Objective Design Standards (March 2026) included in Attachment 6. In addition, staff has created an extended and linked Table of Contents within Attachment 7 that may assist in reviewing and navigating the document more efficiently. The Draft ODS provides a basis for review and approval of residential projects based on objective, measurable, and verifiable design criteria that seek to ensure new residential development is attractive, compatible, appropriately scaled, and visually harmonious with existing neighborhoods and environments within Brentwood.

As part of the process of drafting the initial ODS, the project team used the current 2006 Residential Design Guidelines as inspiration for the future standards to continue to respect the past while embracing the future of Brentwood. This included going line by line through the existing guidelines, comparing the current goals and carrying over the best practices and guidelines into new objective standards where applicable, and removing old and outdated criteria. A complete summary of the originally proposed ODS can be found in the September 16, 2025, October 21, 2025, and March 17, 2026 Planning Commission agenda reports for reference.

To implement the proposed ODS, various amendments throughout the Brentwood Municipal Code (BMC) are also necessary. To effectively implement the new standards, staff has drafted two new BMC Chapters (Chapter 17.825 - Objective Design Standards and Chapter 17.815 - By-Right Approval Process). In addition, staff has updated various other references through the BMC to address the new standards and their applicability. The proposed BMC amendments can be found in Exhibits A, B, and C of the attached Ordinance (Attachments 3, 4, and 5 of this report).

OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FORMAT
Consistent with the requirements of recent and pending legislation (SB 35, SB 330, and others), the Draft ODS (included as Attachment 6, Exhibit D) are intended to provide a basis for review and approval of residential projects based on objective, measurable, and verifiable design criteria. The Draft ODS have been created to

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
include simple and clear language, using terms that are universally understood. By way of example, a subjective design standard would be one that requires a “significant entry" on the front elevation (which is subject to interpretation), while a corresponding objective design standard would be one that includes a specific measurement, such as the entry needing to be at least 25% the width of the elevation. A specific example from the 2006 Residential Design Guidelines included guidance to “minimize privacy intrusions on adjacent residences; windows should be placed to minimize views into the living spaces and yard spaces near neighboring homes. The Draft ODS now includes specific requirements that state “within singlefamily and multi-family buildings, windows facing each other and located within 40 ft. of each other shall not directly align with one another.” The Draft ODS document is graphically rich, employing features such as simple and clear language, a picturebased format, as well as a combination of text, diagrams, and imagery.

OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS CONTENT
Each chapter within the Draft ODS starts with a Purpose subsection that outlines the high-level goals of the section through subsections that organize one or more design standards to regulate specific design guidance. The design guidance is provided for each subsection with an intent statement that outlines General Plan and other planning policies and specific intent of the standards that follow.

The Draft ODS contains six chapters:

1. Introduction.

2. Site Planning. This chapter outlines a project’s boundaries and parameters.

It establishes the project limits for the development, as all subsequent site planning concepts will be specifically applicable within the defined boundary area.

3. Site Design. This chapter outlines a project’s shared and private open spaces that serve multiple purposes, encourage gathering, improve the health and wellness of residents and embraces nature in the built environment. In addition, the chapter establishes objectives related to building orientation, site access and utilities to ensure quality design and site layouts that increase pedestrian comfort and safety.

4. Building Design. This chapter provides objectives to help mediate the scale, massing, and bulk of buildings within a project to reflect a human scale,

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
enhance the pedestrian experience and respond to a building’s context through refined building massing and façade articulation.

5. Architectural Styles. This chapter establishes architectural styles that are intended to establish a strong, consistent design image and direction for the City of Brentwood. All styles reflect the desires, aspirations, and vision of the City. Based on Planning Commission recommendations, Contemporary Architecture has been removed from the guidelines. The architectural styles discussed include the following:
 Spanish
 Mediterranean
 Ranch
 Craftsman
 Queen Anne
 Colonial
 Italianate

6. Landscape. This chapter establishes objectives that emphasize landscaping as a fundamental design component, retaining mature landscaping to the extent appropriate, to reinforce a sense of the natural environment and to maintain an established appearance. It also assists in establishing landscape clearances and other design elements to buffer residential units to the extent possible from the impacts of abutting roadway or different intensities of land uses and fire hazard areas.

RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT
After the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and the completion of the March 2026 Draft ODS that is currently posted on the City’s website, City staff identified one additional area that could provide additional objectivity related to undergrounding of utilities. As currently written, the City’s municipal code section relating to undergrounding of utilities and appurtenances may be interpreted to only apply to conduits and not transformers. It is the City’s intent to require underground transformers on all residential lots. To clarify this through the ODS, staff is recommending the following chapter be added to the final ODS:

2.6 Single Family Subdivisions

2.6.4 Electric Transformers
Pad-mounted electric transformers are prohibited within the front yard setback area of any residential lot or within any lot, parcel, or other area within a

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026
single-family residential subdivision, including, but not limited to, any residential lot, common area, landscape parcel, bioretention area, stormwater treatment area, open space parcel, park parcel, or other subdivision parcel.

Any electric transformers required within these areas shall be installed subsurface.

PROCESS MOVING FORWARD
Once the ODS are adopted, they will be used to evaluate all new residential and mixed-use applications that are submitted. Based on the requirements of State law, many of those applications will be for design review only, wherein the Planning Commission or City Council will not have the discretion that it has had in the past.

Rather, the ODS will be a tool utilized by staff and architectural peer review consultants to ensure that applications are consistent with the guidelines, while the Planning Commission’s review will be very limited and primarily to confirm conformance with the ODS. The ODS are intentionally very detailed because they are meant to be used by architects and practitioners, etc., however they were thoughtfully crafted to be easily understood.

CONCLUSION
Staff is requesting that the City Council review and approve the Draft ODS including adding 2.6.4 Electric Transformers, and supplemental Code amendments. If necessary, the City Council may provide additional recommended changes to the Draft ODS. This is the culmination of a two-year plus work effort, and staff recognizes that the Draft ODS is a lengthy and complex document that requires time for the City Council to review and therefore provided the City Council with draft document three weeks prior to meeting to review in order to allow for the City Council to deliberate, and provide comments.

CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
Focus Area 4: Community Development
Implement Zoning Ordinance update to maintain compliance with State law, including developing objective design standards (SB 330 compliance)

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

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. G.2
05/26/2026

DATE OF NOTICE
The City of Brentwood published a public hearing notice in the Brentwood Press on May 15, 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq. (collectively “CEQA”), the adoption of the Ordinance implementing the objective design standards and the Objective Design Standards for Residential and Mixed-Use Development (“the Ordinance”) does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, or 14 CCR §§ 15060(c)(2) or 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if the adoption of the Ordinance did constitute a project under CEQA, the objective design standards documents fall within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 CCR § 15061(b)(3), exempting projects from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment…” The Ordinance does not authorize new development or increase the density or intensity of uses otherwise permitted.

Therefore, the Ordinance is not subject to further CEQA review.

ALTERNATIVE OPTION(S)
The following are alternative options that the City Council may consider:

1. Direct staff to make additional changes to the proposed amendments and return with revised ordinances.

2. Decline to adopt the proposed amendments and ODS at this time. Note that the Interim ODS will remain in effect until such time as new standards are adopted that would supersede the Interim Standards.

Therefore, the Ordinance is not subject to further CEQA review.

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

No rezoning of property or text amendment shall occur which is inconsistent with the city’s community development plan. In making a decision, the Planning Commission and Council shall consider the consistency of the proposed action to the community development plan and other applicable city plans, and shall consider whether the proposed action is inappropriate or otherwise contrary to the public interest.

The zoning text amendment is consistent with the General Plan, as amended from time to time, insomuch as it is responsive to the adopted Housing Element implementation Action H.1g: Residential Design Guidelines, which commits the City to reviewing the Residential Design Guidelines for subjective language and adopting modifications to promote objectivity. In addition, the proposed amendments will help to ensure quality, economic feasibility and sustainable design under the streamlined review and approval processes required by state law; including Senate Bill (“SB”) 35, SB 423, SB 330, Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2011 and other State laws.

SECTION 4. Amendment. Specified sections, or portions of sections, of Title 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code are hereby amended, as shown in Exhibits A, B, and C, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Exhibit A consists of new Chapter 17.825 (Objective Design Standards); Exhibit B consists of new Chapter

17.815 (By-Right Approval Process); and Exhibit C consists of miscellaneous

amendments throughout the existing sections of the Brentwood Municipal Code that are reflected in strikethrough for deletions and underline for additions. In addition, the City Council adopts the proposed Brentwood Objective Design Standards for Residential and Mixed-Use Development, which are attached hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein. Portions of sections not listed in the attached exhibits are not modified and remain in full force and effect.

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

THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE was introduced by title only with the first reading waived at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Brentwood held on the 26th day of May 2026 by the following vote:

§ 17.825.005. Review and Decision Procedure.
§ 17.825.006. Appeals.
§ 17.825.001. Purpose and Intent.

This chapter is intended to establish and apply objective design standards to new residential and mixed-use development projects within the City of Brentwood where state law limits the City's enforcement of design standards to objective standards or where state law or the Brentwood Municipal Code requires a by-right approval process, except for those projects described in Section

17.825.002(D). Projects subject to this chapter may request an exception from one or more objective design standards pursuant to Section 17.825.004, to the extent permitted by applicable state law. The purpose of this chapter is to:

A. Create high-quality, enforceable objective design standards.

B. Streamline the review and approval process for qualifying residential and mixed-use projects.

C. Ensure greater certainty for applicants, decision makers, residents, and the public.

D. Enhance the existing character of the city and maintain compatibility with other established uses within the City as new development and property improvements occur.

E. Continue to ensure the highest level of design quality while allowing for appropriate flexibility to create variation as needed.

F. Create objective design standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment and are verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion.

G. Facilitate the implementation of the Brentwood General Plan.

H. Update standards on a timely basis to respond to new legislative actions. § 17.825.002. Applicability.

A. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all new residential and mixed-use development projects located within the City of Brentwood, except as otherwise provided in subsection D.

B. The provisions of this chapter shall apply where state law or the Brentwood Municipal Code requires a by-right approval process.

C. The City of Brentwood Objective Design Standards for Residential and Mixed-Use Development are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference herein, as adopted by the City

Council and amended from time to time.

D. Exempt Housing Projects. The provisions of this chapter are not applicable to:

1. Accessory dwelling units pursuant to Section 17.715.

2. Two-unit projects pursuant to Section 17.790.

3. Mixed-use projects with less than two-thirds of the building square footage dedicated to housing.
§ 17.825.003. Relationship to Other Standards and Requirements.

A. The City of Brentwood intends this chapter to establish reasonable, uniform and comprehensive standards and procedures for residential and mixed housing development within the City of Brentwood, consistent with and to the extent permitted under federal and California State law. The standards and procedures contained in this chapter are intended to, and should be applied to, protect and promote public health, safety and welfare, and also balance the benefits that flow from robust, comprehensive housing development with the City's local values, which include, without limitation, the aesthetic character of the City, its neighborhoods and community.

B. Whenever any provision of the zoning ordinance and any other provision of law including the Objective Design Standards, or any other ordinance or resolution, imposes overlapping or contradictory regulations or contains restrictions covering any of the same subject matter, that provision which is more restrictive or imposes higher standards shall control, except as expressly provided otherwise in this title. The provisions ofthis chapter are intended to support other chapters and design guidelines, including as noted below:

1. Standards for Applicable Zoning District. The Objective Design Standards supplement and are in addition to the development standards for the applicable zoning district in which a proposed project is located.

2. Subdivision Regulations. Title 16 establishes regulations for the subdivision of land throughout the City of Brentwood.

3. Relation to Other Regulations. Where a conflict occurs between the requirements of the Objective Design Standards and other City requirements, that provision which is more restrictive or imposes higher standards shall control, except as expressly provided otherwise in this title or as required by State law.

4. The Objective Design Standards provide language, diagrams, sketches, and graphics to assist developers and the public in understanding the standards and how they shall be applied to qualifying residential projects.
§ 17.825.004. Exceptions.

A. The purpose of these provisions is to establish a procedure by which a property owner may seek an exception of objective design standards as set forth in this chapter where standards are infeasible due to specific physical situations regarding the site or project, or where a unique design solution may be better suited to the site. It shall be the purpose of this procedure to allow justice, while preserving to the greatest possible extent the purposes and intent of the objective design standards.

B. An exception application shall be prepared, submitted, and processed pursuant to Chapter

17.800. Applicants who request an exception from the objective design standards are required to obtain a discretionary approval and are not eligible for processing pursuant to Chapter

17.815, unless State law requires otherwise. By requesting a discretionary review, the applicant acknowledges and agrees that their project will not be subject to the processing requirements of SB 330. Applicants may be subject to review by the Planning Commission for otherwise by-right projects. In addition, applicants may be required to hold community meetings to get neighborhood input, to the extent permitted by applicable State law.

C. An exception from objective design standards as set forth in this chapter may be granted by the Planning Commission upon determination that all of the following findings can be made:

1. That strict compliance with the specified standard would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the purposes of the objective standards, due to unique physical or topographic circumstances or conditions of design; or alternatively that strict compliance would preclude an effective design solution improving livability, operational efficiency or appearance.

2. That strict compliance with the standard would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by owners of similarly zoned property; or alternatively that strict compliance would preclude an effective design solution fulfilling the basic intent of the applicable regulations.

3. That if granted, the exception will not adversely affect the character, livability or appropriate development of abutting properties or the surrounding area, and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or contrary to adopted plans or development policy.

4. That the proposed development would be of a quality and character appropriate to, and serving to protect the value of, private and public investments in the immediate area.

5. The resulting architectural style of the structure would be complementary to and compatible with the architectural style of the existing homes in the immediate neighborhood. § 17.825.005. Review and Decision Procedure.

A. The community development director (or designee) shall be the review authority for any objective design review approval for projects subject to the objective design standards for byright permitting processes, as required by state law. Land use approval of any entitlement required in conjunction of the objective design review or for requests for exceptions shall be made by the review authority identified in Chapter 17.800 and/or Chapter 17.820, as applicable.

B. The applicant shall submit all materials to the City, including all materials required by checklists created for the review process to the appropriate body or person pursuant to Chapter

17.800 and the more specific provisions set forth in subsequent chapters for the specific entitlement.

C. The Planning Commission, or, when applicable, the community development director (or designee) shall evaluate the application based on the project's conformance with the objective development and design standards, as well as all applicable regulations of the zoning ordinance and other city ordinances, policies or resolutions.

D. In approving an objective design review subject to objective design standards, the Planning

Commission, or, when applicable the community development director (or designee) may impose conditions of approval as deemed necessary to ensure that the application:

1. conforms to the General Plan and other applicable plans or policies adopted by the City Council and any additional discretionary approvals;

2. meets the requirements of the zoning district where the proposal islocated, as well as any other applicable provisions of the zoning regulations; and

3. complies with the Objective Design Standards as adopted within, or by reference in, Chapter 17.825.
§ 17.825.006. Appeals.

The design review for residential projects utilizing objective design standards are evaluated under the review processes as provided for by, and in conformance with, this chapter. The reviewing authority may restrict or deny a proposed residential design if it determines that the design is not consistent with the objective design standards. Any such restriction or denial shall be based on written findings identifying the objective standard or standards with which the project does not comply, to the extent required by applicable state law. Action of the Planning Commission, or, when applicable, the community development director (or designee) may be appealed pursuant to Chapter 17.880.

1.1 Purpose

1.1.1 Overview
The development of new residential and mixed-use projects in the City of Brentwood (hereafter referred to as the “City”) is guided by a long-standing commitment to high-quality design, community character, and a strong sense of place. Historically, development has been regulated through a coordinated framework of planning and regulatory documents, including the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and a range of topic-specific regulations and design guidelines. These documents reflect both Brentwood’s unique cultural roots and its evolution as a growing Bay Area community seeking to balance change with continuity.

Brentwood’s identity is deeply shaped by its agricultural heritage and rich history. Long before European settlement, the area now known as Brentwood was home to several Native American tribes, including the Tuchiyunes, Acalanes, Bologones, and Caruinez, who established communities along the region’s fertile soils. In 1772, Spanish soldiers exploring the Mount Diablo area settled what became known as Los Meganos Rancho. The Rancho was later sold in 1837 to Dr. John Marsh, the first American citizen of what would become Contra Costa County. Dr. Marsh built the first permanent home in the area in 1851, which still remains at its original location on the outskirts of the City.

The arrival of the railroad marked a turning point, transforming Brentwood into an organized town. As rail lines expanded across the Marsh Ranch, land was donated to establish a town site, and Brentwood took shape as a recognizable community. By the late nineteenth century, the area had become a major agricultural center and one of the largest shipping points for wheat and barley between New Orleans and San Francisco. In the early twentieth century, the construction of a major irrigation system further diversified local agriculture, solidifying Brentwood’s reputation as a thriving farming community. Today, agriculture remains an important part of the City’s identity, with working farms still located on the outskirts of town and seasonal harvests drawing visitors from across the region.

As Brentwood has grown, development has expanded outward from its historic downtown core, which remains a focal point of older commercial and residential buildings that embody the City’s small-town character. While new neighborhoods and mixed-use districts have been introduced to accommodate population growth, the City has consistently emphasized the importance of preserving its rural atmosphere, human-scaled development patterns, and visual continuity. One of the City’s long-standing General Plan goals is to create and maintain a strong sense of place by preserving and enhancing Brentwood’s identity and small-town qualities. 1 INTRODUCTION

CITY OF BRENTWOOD OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS - DRAFT 3
This philosophy was historically reflected in the City’s residential design guidelines, which were adopted to articulate community expectations, encourage thoughtful architecture, and ensure that new development respects the past while embracing future growth. These original guidelines emphasized consistent high-quality residential development, pedestrianoriented neighborhoods, visual continuity balanced with architectural diversity, and the sensitive integration of higher-density housing types. They also stressed the importance of high-quality materials, durable construction, and attentive architectural and landscape details, including porches, roof overhangs, mature landscaping, and articulated building forms.

In recent years, the regulatory context for housing development in California has changed significantly.

The passage of several state housing laws—including Senate Bill (SB) 35, SB 330, SB 6, and Assembly Bill (AB) 2011—has introduced new requirements to streamline housing approvals and limit discretionary review for qualifying projects. Under these statutes, cities must approve eligible housing proposals through ministerial processes, provided that such projects comply with applicable objective standards.

In response, the City of Brentwood has chosen to adopt Objective Design Standards (ODS) as a modernized extension of its long-standing design values. These standards translate the community’s historic design principles into clear, measurable, and consistently applied rules that can be used in a ministerial review context. In doing so, the City seeks to preserve the spirit and intent of its original guidelines while aligning with state law requirements for objectivity, predictability, and legal defensibility.

The Objective Design Standards are intended to facilitate housing production efficiently while maintaining the high design quality long expected by the community. They provide a transparent framework for evaluating residential and mixed-use projects, ensuring that development continues to reinforce neighborhood character, promote pedestrian-oriented environments, and contribute to cohesive community design. By articulating measurable requirements rather than subjective preferences, the City strengthens the defensibility of its regulations and demonstrates that its standards are reasonable, proportionate, and aligned with state housing mandates.

Ultimately, the Objective Design Standards represent an evolution of Brentwood’s planning legacy.

They build upon the City’s historic commitment to thoughtful design, respect for community character, and high-quality development, while responding pragmatically to contemporary legal and housing challenges. Through this approach, Brentwood seeks to continue welcoming new residents, supporting housing diversity, and fostering growth that honors its agricultural roots, historic downtown, and enduring small-town identity.

1.1.2 Goals
The purpose of these Objective Design Standards is to require high-quality single-family, multifamily, and mixed-use residential development through a clear set of rules that are understandable to the general public, City staff, and the development community. The three primary goals of these standards are to:

The three primary goals of these standards are to:
a. Preserve the character of Brentwood’s neighborhoods by balancing the form and design of existing development with new construction techniques and styles. b. Encourage human-scaled buildings that promote high quality site and building design. c. Emphasize a pedestrian-oriented environment where buildings and public realm design are cohesive and complementary of a diverse range of uses. d. Establish clear, objective, and consistently applied design requirements that help demonstrate the City’s standards are reasonable, predictable, and aligned with state law, thereby strengthening the City’s legal defensibility in the review and approval of housing projects.

CITY OF BRENTWOOD OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS - DRAFT 5

1.2 Organization
The Objective Design Standards ar organized, starting with an introduction, in six sections:

1. Introduction

2. Site Planning

3. Site Design

4. Building Design

5. Architectural Styles

6. Landscape
The Purpose subsection outlines the high-level goals of the section through subsections that organize one or more design standards to regulate specific design guidance. Additionally, the purpose of the ODS draws from Goals and Policies of the Brentwood General Plan. The design guidance is provided for each subsection with an intent statement that outlines General Plan and other planning policies and specific intent of the standards that follow.

6 BRENTWOOD ODS

1.3 Applicability

1.3.1 Applicable Project Types
These Objective Design Standards apply to all new construction projects that meet the following criteria:

1. Single-family projects. Defined as a project consisting of single-family residential uses with detached dwelling units.

2. Multi-family projects. Defined as a project consisting of multifamily residential uses with two (2) or more attached dwelling unitse.

3. Mixed-use projects, featuring a combination of residential and other uses with the residential use at a minimum density of 6.5 dwelling units per acre.

All other project types including commercial-only projects and interior renovations less than 30% of floor area are not subject to these objective design standards but must satisfy existing development standards in the Zoning Code.

1.3.2 Exceptions & Exemptions
All applicable projects are required to comply with Objective Design Standards. Should a project not be able to or choose not to adhere to the Objective Design Standards, approvals through the Excemptions process may be requested.

Excemptions: See Brentwood Municipal Code Title 17: Chapter 17.825.004

CITY OF BRENTWOOD OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS - DRAFT 7

1.4 User Guide
The Objective Design Standards are intended for residents, property and business owners, developers, builders, architects, designers, and City staff involved in the review and approval of single-family, multi-family, and mixed-use developments within the City. The following steps are a quick way to understand the different sections of the document and how to use it.

Step 1: Review the Site Planning & Site Design Standards.

Site Planning involves a careful analysis of the opportunities and constraints of the site, including but not limited to existing features including mature trees, topography, drainage patterns, easements, and other dedications, including public rights-of-way, open space, and stormwater buffers. The components of site development extend beyond building placement and configuration, including surrounding uses, retaining walls, landscape design, hardscape considerations, and parking.

The Site Design Standards outline several requirements on these topics.

Step 2: Review the Building Design Standards.

While new projects need not copy existing development, their mass and scale shall respect adjacent building context and uses. The Building Design standards establish requirements on these issues. These standards apply no matter which style is being utilized for the project design.

8 BRENTWOOD ODS
Step 3: Review the Architectural Style Standards.

The design and detailing of buildings are paramount to a quality environment, and the City is committed to authentic expressions of architectural style. Architectural design elements and materials shall be consistent throughout the project, recognizing that a building is 3-dimensional and must be well designed on all sides. Detailing, materials, window and door choices shall reinforce the overall project design. To provide guidance on architectural styles, the architectural standards offer a menu of elements and traditional details in which individual buildings may be designed.

The selected styles are based on prevailing designs in Brentwood’s neighborhoods, specific plan areas and City planned development. Additional feedback has been provided from community outreach and an online survey to provide a range of appropriate styles.

The styles are as follows:
• Spanish
• Mediterranean
• Ranch
• Craftsman
• Queen Anne
• Colonial
• Italianate
• Contemporary
Within each style section, a description of various elements related to roof forms, windows, decorative details, and other topics are provided. The Architectural Style standards require certain elements, while other elements may be selected from a menu of options.

Step 4: Review the Mixed-Use Development Standards, if applicable.

For developments that incorporate a commercial component in addition to residential housing, the Mixed-Use Development Standards, located at the end of each chapter of Architectural Style, provide direction on the design of storefronts, types of decorative accents, and other relevant topics. Mixed-use proposals shall be consistent with these standards.

Step 5: Review the Brentwood Municipal Code and consult with Community Development Staff.

All developments must comply with the subdivision, land development, and zoning regulations contained in Titles 16 and 17 of the Brentwood Municipal Code. Applicants should consult with Community Development Department staff for assistance in understanding and complying with these regulations.

Step 6: Consult with the Community Development Planning Division It is highly recommended for prospective applicants to obtain and become familiar with the application and submittal requirements for a project prior to a formal submittal. Additionally, the Community Development Department offers a Conceptual Project Review (CPR) service that is available to the public. A CPR application allows applicants to receive staff review from various departments prior to a formal application submittal.

The Brentwood Municipal Code establishes required procedures for submitting and reviewing development applications. Applicants should consult with Community Development Department staff for assistance with these procedures and requirements.

1.5 Relationship With General Plan & Zoning
Code
The Objective Design Standards in this document work as a baseline, creating citywide standards that apply to all new single family, multi-family and mixed-use residential projects. This document shall work in tandem with the Brentwood Municipal Code or guideline documents, including but not limited to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code and Planned Developments. Any design standards from the ODS shall supercede those in the General Plan, or Zoning Code, if there are conflicting guidelines or regulations unless otherwise approved by the Director of Community Development.
• General Plan. The General Plan contains objective standards related to development density for all land uses in the City. The Objective Design Standards in this document are consistent with the General Plan and dictate the bulk, mass, and design of buildings in a more finegrained way than the General Plan. • Zoning. Titles 16 (Subdivisions and Land Development) and 17 (Zoning) of the Brentwood Municipal Code, and applicable Specific Plans contain objective standards including setback, height, parking, and open space requirements. These district-by-district standards will continue to dictate basic development standards, and the Objective Design Standards will apply in addition to these requirements, providing refinement in terms of site and building design. • Other Municipal Code Sections. The City also maintains and enforces standards including but not limited to stormwater drainage, roadway and traffic requirements, sewer, water and standards for working within the public right-of-way to install sidewalks, street trees, and lighting. These standards will continue to apply and will supercede any conflict with the ODS. • Building Standards Codes. All construction in the State of California is subject to the California Building Standards Codes which dictate health, safety, and energy and water efficiency standards for new and remodeled structures. Refer to Title 15 of City of Brentwood Municipal Code for additional specifications and requirements. These standards will continue to apply and will supercede any conflict with the ODS.
• Standard Plans & Specifications and Engineering Procedures Manual. All public and private site improvements are designed and constructed in accordance with the Standard Plans and Specifications providing a framework for consistent, safe, efficient, and high-quality construction and maintenance of public and private infrastructure. These standards will continue to apply and will supercede any conflict with the ODS.
