F.1

An Extension of Interim Urgency Ordinance implementing Interim Objective Design Standards for residential housing projects in the City of Brentwood, and finding the action exempt from CEQA

• Title/Recommendation

  Staff recommends the City Council approve an extension of the Interim Urgency Ordinance adopted June 27^th, approving Interim Objective Design Standards, while the City develops a more robust set of residential design and development standards to ensure that projects deliver high-quality design, appropriate site planning and amenities, and are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods and the community.

F.2

Call for review of the Planning Commission's decision to approve applications for Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Design Review for Trumark Trailside

• Title/Recommendation

  Staff recommends that the City Council adopt resolutions affirming the Planning Commission approvals of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 9610 and Design Review No. 22-006 for Trumark Trailside, as further conditioned.

  The project includes a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (VTSM 9610) to create 63 single-family residential lots, one bio-retention basin, one open space lot adjacent to Sand Creek, and other related improvements. The project also includes a design review (DR 22-006) for the homes to be constructed on the 63 lots (including 57 single-family detached homes and six affordable duets). The project is located at 1777 Apricot Way (APNs 019-092-013 and 019-092-034).

  Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15183, the project is consistent with the development density established by a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning for which an environmental impact report (EIR) has been certified. An EIR was prepared and certified by the City Council as part of the Brentwood General Plan (SCH# 2014022058) in 2014. Therefore, no further environmental analysis is required, as the proposed Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map is consistent with the General Plan.
