PUBLIC HEARINGS

Persons addressing the City Council using Zoom are asked to raise their hands using the Zoom feature.  Those attending in person and wishing to address the Council may do so from the podium.  The Council may adopt reasonable regulations at the onset of the public hearing to facilitate public testimony.  These regulations may include time limits. In the absence of such regulations, the public hearing shall follow the protocol for Public Comments. 

F.1

An application for the Bridle Gate project, including a Revised Environmental Impact Report, Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, and Design Review

• Title/Recommendation

  Staff recommends that the City Council consider the following two options:

  1. Deny the appeal, upholding the Planning Commission’s action to deny the project by adopting a resolution supported by factual finds; or
  2. Approve the appeal, reversing the Planning Commission’s action to deny the project by adopting three resolutions: (1) certifying the Revised EIR (REIR) and making CEQA findings, (2) approving the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (VTSM 9586), and (3) approving the Design Review (DR 21-010).

  The proposed project would include subdivision of the site for development of 272 single-family detached residences, as well as associated improvements within the project site, including two parks, open space, stormwater detention and treatment areas, utility connections, and construction of an internal roadway network on approximately 92.96 acres. The 36.82 acres of land located north of the future Sand Creek Road extension are on a separate legal parcel shown as a designated remainder on the vesting tentative subdivision map (VTSM), and are therefore not proposed to be developed as part of this application. The project site is bounded by Old Sand Creek Road to the north, State Route (SR) 4 to the east, a single-family residential development (Brentwood Hills) to the south, and the edge of the Brentwood Planning Area and the City of Antioch’s city limits to the west (APNs: 019-082-009 and 019-082-00).

  The City prepared a Revised Environmental Impact Report (REIR) for this project in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., and as further governed by the State CEQA Guidelines, found at 14 CCR §§ 15000, et seq.). Several potentially significant impacts are identified; however, mitigation measures are proposed to reduce those impacts to less-than-significant levels.

G.

BUSINESS ITEMS

Persons addressing the City Council using Zoom are asked to raise their hands using the Zoom feature. Those attending in person and wishing to address the Council may do so from the podium. The Council may adopt reasonable regulations at the onset of each business item to facilitate public testimony. These regulations may include time limits. In the absence of such regulations, the item shall follow the protocol for Public Comments.  Public comment on each of the following items is limited to what is described in the specific agenda item.
