ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 4 1. THE ASSIGNMENT The City of Brentwood has requested assistance through the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Technical Assistance Panel program to evaluate and provide recommendations for implementation of the Priority Area One (PA-1) Specific Plan (Attachment 1) area. The City of Brentwood envisions PA-1 emerging as one of the city’s primary future employment centers, offering individuals and businesses access and opportunities to create high-quality jobs across a diverse array of industries. The establishment of the employment center will assist the City towards achieving its goal of a healthy jobs-to-housing balance, reducing commute times for residents, and establishing new opportunities for economic growth and employment within the city.

In addition, the City foresees PA-1’s development as a vibrant, compact, mixed-use district, focused around a transit station that will provide linkages to other eastern Contra Costa County communities and the wider Bay Area region beyond. The PA-1 Specific Plan provides the vision and strategy to facilitate PA- 1’s emergence as the city’s transit-oriented employment center.

Brentwood is planning for an employment focused Transit Oriented Development at the future Brentwood eBART Station/Transit Station. Locating jobs here will vastly shorten the commutes of Brentwood residents, increase the transit and non-motorized mode split and support BART ridership in the “reverse” commute where they have significant capacity- running nearly empty trains. The City has already completed a Specific Plan for the area- but a detailed path forward needs to be developed that recognizes design and market realities.

Regional Setting: Brentwood is located in the East Bay Region on the alluvial plain of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta near the eastern base of Mount Diablo. It is approximately 41 miles west of San Francisco, 22 miles east of Stockton, and 46 miles southwest of Sacramento.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 5 Local Setting: Brentwood is a 14.86 square-mile city within Contra Costa County. The city is bordered by the City of Antioch to the northwest, the City of Oakley to the north, and Contra Costa County to the east, south, and west. Regional highway access to the city is primarily provided by State Route 4 (SR 4), which extends north-south through the city. The State Route 4 corridor connects the city to Antioch and other East Bay cities to the west and Discovery Bay and Stockton and the central valley to the east. Regional access to Brentwood is also provided via Interstates 580 and 205 through county roadway connections.

Priority Area One (PA-1): The project area is 368 acres, 167 Acres are designated for employment uses, 63 acres are designated for a mixture of residential and employment, 48 acres are designated as medium/high density residential and 70 acres are designated as Regional Commercial. Within PA-1, 20 acres are designated for a transit station and multi-use trail with overcrossing. The plan allows for construction of approximately 5.5 million square feet of new office space; 3,000 new housing units; and 300,000 square feet of new retail or hotel space.

The vision for this area is a bold leap that would lead this region to a new reality: a world where new generation workplaces are close to employees residences, where quality of life is a paramount concern, where pedestrian, bicycle, and quality transit travel to work would not only be possible, but strongly preferred; where employers chose to locate is a place because they can attract talent by virtue of quality of life.

Despite the social and environmental benefits of this type of the development, the market is not clamoring to make the investment. It is not enough to have a “hope” that jobs will come to housing rich areas, it is not enough that it would help address regional environmental and transportation goals, it is not enough that it would improve the circumstances both of employers and employees- successful implementation requires that the idea be practical and demonstrably rooted in market realities. Implementation steps and incentives must to be identified.

TAP Panel Questions: The City of Brentwood is looking forward to partnering with ULI SF to bring a panel of experts and practitioners to address the following questions:

1. Draft a mission statement for this site based on the Specific Plan and insight from the City and stakeholder interviews. What is the balance of land uses needed to create a complete community with an emphasis on job creation and what kinds of regulatory requirements are needed to give the flexibility to achieve this mission?

2. The City intends to construct backbone infrastructure to serve the site. Are there detailed design considerations and innovative concepts that we should pay attention to in developing the infrastructure and guiding the design of the layout and buildings?

3. What incentives are needed to spur this development and what is the most effective form they would take? Are value capture techniques or infrastructure financing mechanisms likely to be effective and appropriate here?

4. How should the City engage the current property owners and stakeholders to become partners in this process?

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 6 2. STATUS OF THE PLAN The City’s interest in providing comprehensive, focused policy direction for development in the Specific Plan area originated during the last comprehensive General Plan Update (Attachment 3), adopted in 2014. In response to the City’s rapid population growth during the preceding 15 years and the desire to address the resulting jobs to-housing imbalance, the General Plan first identified the area as a priority location to meet the City’s economic development goals and accommodate future growth. Specifically, the General Plan initiated the area’s identification as “Priority Area 1” through the application of an overlay designation on the General Plan Land Use Map and included policies that address the area’s development pattern and character, mix of uses, and economic development opportunities. The PA-1 Specific Plan process began in 2016 and was ultimately adopted by the Brentwood City Council on November 13, 2018. The City Council also certified the PA-1 Final EIR (Attachment 2) on November 13, 2018. Most recently, the City has engaged a civil engineering consultant to perform an infrastructure planning and engineering exercise, including a more fully developed infrastructure program plan and cost estimate. 3. HISTORY OF THE AREA PA-1 Area c. 2004 Brentwood has been transitioning from a primarily agricultural based community to a more commercialized and thriving suburb within the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The estimated population trend of Brentwood is as follows:

Year Population 1990 7,563 2000 23,302 2010 51,841 2019 65,288

Contributing factors to population growth over the past three decades include the lower cost of housing between Brentwood and other San Francisco Bay Area communities and higher quality job creation, specifically in the East Bay Area including the Livermore Tri-Valley and Concord/Walnut Creek areas. Those emerging East Bay job centers, i.e. Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, allow East Contra Costa residents easier access to job opportunities at more diverse levels of employment.

Additionally, improved transportation access is a critical factor in population growth. The phased State Route 4 Bypass Project has improved traffic mobility and congestion. The highway expansion project was recently completed in 2018. Public transit has also

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 7 greatly increased in East Contra Costa County with the East Contra Costa BART (eBart) extension into Antioch in 2018. Additionally, local transit districts have expanded shuttle and bus service from East County to the BART system and other regional job centers to accommodate the commute workforce population.

Specific to the development pattern of the PA-1 area, the area was once rural farms and ranchettes. The realignment and expansion of State Route 4, combined with new rooftops and increased population, induced the commercial development to occur along Lone Tree Way and San Creek Road flanking the PA- 1 area to the north and south. These regional commercial centers now serve a trade area of 270,000 persons within 15 miles.

4. THE AREA The Specific Plan area is approximately 431 acres in size, and located in the northwestern corner of the City. Approximately 63 acres of the Specific Plan area consists of public right-of-way and the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail corridor. The remaining area, approximately 368 acres, is privately-owned. Approximately 75 acres within PA-1 is already developed and 300 acres are undeveloped. The Specific Plan area is generally bounded by Lone Tree Way to the north, Shady Willow Lane to the east, Sand Creek to the south, and Heidorn Ranch Road to the west; and bisected from north-to-south by State Route 4.

The Specific Plan area primarily comprises large “greenfield” sites that are undeveloped, vacant, and/or occupied by agricultural uses. The Specific Plan area also includes two commercial centers – Brentwood Station and Lone Tree Plaza, located along the Specific Plan area’s northern boundary; three churches – Golden Hills Community Church, Lighthouse Baptist Church, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, are concentrated in the Specific Plan area’s northeastern corner, adjacent to the Lone Tree Way and Shady Willow Lane intersection and south of Brentwood Station; and several single-family homes situated on large parcels (generally classified as agricultural and/or estate residential). The greenfield sites and parcels occupied by single family homes hold the greatest development potential; however, the commercial centers and church sites may also accommodate intensified development.

PA-1 Area - South View 1

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 8 Land Uses:

The land use plan implements the Specific Plan’s vision and goals through the application of the project’s six land use designations to properties in the Specific Plan area. Further information is found beginning on Chapter 4: Land Use Plan of the PA-1 Specific Plan.

Land Use Designation Density Description Employment 0.6 Maximum Business parks; clean light industrial; research and Center/Light Industrial FAR development (R&D); science, technology, engineering, (ECLI) and math (STEM); tech/biotech manufacturing; high tech services that incorporate some combination of assembly, warehousing, and/or sales, hospitals and other health care related uses, and professional offices. Regional destination resort hotel and conference center on approximately 45 acres. Transit Village (TV) 0.5 – 1.5 FAR Integrated mix of high-intensity uses in the area 25-40 du/acre surrounding the planned transit station, and encourages the development of a high quality, pedestrian and bicycle friendly mixed-use district. Regional Commercial 0.6 Maximum Accommodates retail and service uses that serve the (RC) FAR general needs of the community and the region. Multiple-Family Very- 15-35 du/acre Very-High Density Residential designation supports High Density multiple-family residential development within walking Residential (MFVHDR) distance to the transit station. High Density Residential 10-20 du/acre Compatible with the neighborhoods that surround the (HDR) Specific Plan area, while providing housing within walking distance to the transit station. The designation accommodates a wide variety of housing types, include duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, condominium and/or apartment buildings, and small-lot detached single-family houses. Public Facility (PF) Parcels reserved for government and public agency offices and facilities and public utility facilities. A single parcel within PA-1 is designated as PF, and is the site of a planned future fire station. Transit Station Overlay 20-acres, Areas associated with the proposed transit station and (TS) including at associated facilities, including a potential bus terminal, least 5-acres on rail platform, ticketing areas, customer amenities, access properties and parking areas, and a pedestrian overcrossing over located east of State Route 4. State Route 4.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 9

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 10 Transportation and Access:

Transportation and Access are more fully covered in Chapter 5: Circulation Plan of the PA-1 Specific Plan.

The Plan emphasizes the creation of strong multimodal linkages to a centralized transit station site that will initially be used as a regional bus hub, and could eventually accommodate a potential light rail station in the future (e.g., eBART). The Circulation Plan primarily utilizes slightly modified versions of the City’s existing street standards and implements one entirely new street standard in the Transit Village- designated area.

As development occurs, developers will be required to construct additional local and collector streets, and onsite circulation facilities, to accommodate their site-specific needs and to provide for enhanced multi-modal connectivity throughout the Plan Area and the surrounding roadway network. A primary goal of the Specific Plan is to create streets that serve all transportation modes: pedestrian, bicycle, motor vehicle, and transit. This is particularly important on the streets that form key linkages to the Transit Center in the core.

The transit station depicted in the core of PA-1 comprises a total of 20 acres, with 10 acres on each side of State Route 4, connected by the planned Mokelumne Trail overcrossing. The station is envisioned to be a bus hub for Tri-Delta Transit, with provision of up to 1,000 parking spaces to accommodate park and- ride users, as well as a centralized transit center serving the future employees and residents in the PA-1 Specific Plan area itself. eBART Next Segment Study:

The eBART Next Segment Study completed in 2014 is included as Attachment 5. eBART (which stands for East Contra Costa County BART) has evolved as part of a long term effort to extend rail transit service into Eastern Contra Costa County. The concept of eBART was developed in 2001-2002 as part of the State Route 4 East Corridor Transit Study. In 2004 voters approved Regional Measure 2 which included $96 million for eBART. In the same year Contra Costa County voters approved Measure J which provided $150 million for eBART.

The original eBART concept envisioned a rail service extending into Eastern Contra County as far to the southeast as the Byron/Discovery Bay area, nearly 23 miles in length from the previous end of the line in Pittsburg/Bay Point. The Phase I eBART project involved a ten mile extension of BART service into Eastern Contra Costa County. The extension used Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) rail technology to extend eastward from the existing BART system at the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station in the median of State Route 4 to Antioch, with a new Antioch Station at Hillcrest Avenue and a new infill station at Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg called Pittsburg Center Station.

The eBART Next Segment Study evaluated various station location alternatives to extend the DMU rail system within the median of State Route 4 to a new terminus station in East Contra Costa County. Various

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 11 factors including land use, ridership, parking, and cost were considered including four station locations within Brentwood city limits. Two of the identified potential station alternatives are located within the PA-1 Specific Plan area including the Lone Tree Way Station and Mokelumne Trail Station.

Lone Tree

Mokelumne

The study methodology for station design assumed that about ten acres of land would be required outside of State Route 4 to accommodate parking (1,000 spaces), facilities for passenger drop-off/pick-up, buses, and bicycles. It was assumed that the 1,000 spaces of surface parking would be the initial supply and that future expansion of parking could occur through the development of parking structures on the site of the parking lot. The Antioch Station at Hillcrest Avenue has recently announced it will expand parking by an additional 800 surface parking stalls due to parking demand. Ridership was also estimated for Year 2035,

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 12 with the new terminus station providing relief to the Antioch Station at Hillcrest Avenue and expanding total ridership on the eBART extension line. The Mokelumne Station is estimated to add 4,700 total daily trips to the system, with a total daily trips estimate of 14,000. Any further extension of the line is estimated to decrease in peak daily ridership from the high estimate number of 14,000 riders.

By concentrating jobs, housing, retail, and service uses surrounding a bus transit center (and a potential rail station in the long-range), the Specific Plan is by design intended to increase transit ridership and reduce dependence on private automobile travel. The Specific Plan also emphasizes improvements to pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to the station, further increasing the convenience and utility of using transit.

Infrastructure and Utilities: Infrastructure systems including water, wastewater, stormwater, gas, electricity, and telecommunications are more fully described in Chapter 8: Infrastructure and Public Services of the PA-1 Specific Plan.

Water/Wastewater: The City of Brentwood provides potable and non-potable water supplies and distribution to customers within the Specific Plan area. The City also provides wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services for residents and businesses located in the Specific Plan area. There is currently limited water and wastewater infrastructure located within the interior portions of the Specific Plan area. As such, water supply and wastewater conveyance infrastructure will need to be extended throughout the currently unserved portions of the Specific Plan area. The majority of the water supply infrastructure will consist of 12” water mains and 8” non-potable water lines. The majority of the wastewater conveyance infrastructure will consist of 12” and 10”sewer mains.

Stormwater: The City provides storm drainage collection within the Specific Plan area, and is responsible for maintenance of the collection system. The Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District is responsible for constructing and maintaining regional flood control basins, channels, and creeks throughout the county, including the City of Brentwood.

Solid Waste: City of Brentwood Public Works Department provides municipal solid waste (MSW) collection services, including garbage, yard waste, and recycling, to residents and businesses within the Specific Plan area. All of the MSW is hauled to the City’s Solid Waste Transfer Station, located at 2300 Elkins Way, Brentwood.

Electric & Gas: Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) provides electric services in the project area. Electrical infrastructure in the project area is located aboveground on utility poles as well as belowground. PG&E also provides natural gas services in the project area. Natural gas pipelines are located belowground.

Telcom: AT&T, Comcast, and Sonic currently provide telecommunication, cable television, and Internet services. This includes Sonic’s symmetric Gigabit Fiber Internet service that transfers data at the rate of 1000 megabits per second. Utility infrastructure in the project area is located both aboveground on utility poles and belowground in public utility easements.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 13 Property Ownership:

The PA-1 area includes 56 parcels. Approximately 25 separate property owners are part of the PA-1 area. The already developed commercial properties (RC Designation) along Lone Tree Way are predominantly held by corporate entities and commercial holding companies.

The underutilized ranchettes and church properties are a mix of private ownership.

The vacant sites are predominately held by approximately six (6) land owners. These sites, with their high level of freeway visibility and frontage, combined with potential proximity and adjoining access to the Transit Station Overlay, are key assets to maintaining and developing the vision of the PA-1 Specific Plan.

Public agencies including the Contra Costa Water District, East Bay Municipal Utility District, Caltrans, State Route 4 Bypass Authority and City of Brentwood have property rights interests within the PA-1 area.

Income Data: Brentwood’s average household income is $108,000. Over 50% of the employed households earn over $100,000 annually. Brentwood residents are generally well educated in comparison with other regional commute focused submarkets of the Bay Area, with 32% of the population possessing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher, and 70% of the population having some level of college or higher.

Major labor force sectors in the Brentwood city limits include the Services Industry (SIC 70-89) at 45%, Retail Trade (SIC 52-59) at 25% and Finance, Insurance and Real Estate (SIC 60-69) at 10%. Construction (SIC 15-17), Public Administration (SIC 90-98) and Manufacturing (SIC 20-39) round out the remaining major employee based industries in the community.

Housing Market: Brentwood’s housing market is competitive due to its location within the greater San Francisco Bay Area and proximity to regional job centers and transportation access. The total dwelling unit count is estimated at 20,862. The home type mix is generally 82% single family homes, 1.5% condominiums and 16.5% apartment unit or similar. Owners of residential units comprise 81% of all dwelling units, and renters another 19%. The median home size is 2,200 square feet.

In July 2018, the median sold price was $619,890, in 2017 it was $555,326 and in 2016 it was $542,500. For FY 2018-2019, the City of Brentwood permitted the construction of 352 new dwelling units.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 16

Commercial Development: PA-1 is envisioned as a combination of a major employment center, with a regional commercial and mixed use village concept centered around a multi-modal transit station with prime access to State Route 4. The vision statement for the PA-1 plan area allows it to become a jobs and commercial center destination that draws from employers, employees and consumers at the local and regional level. Although Brentwood is primarily viewed as a residential community, it has seen some commercial development growth; including retail shopping centers adjacent to State Route 4; the Sunset Industrial Complex in Northeast Brentwood; John Muir Health Outpatient Center and its associated expansion project; business parks such as Sand Creek Business Center; and various neighborhood retail shopping centers.

The City of Brentwood Economic Development Strategy (Attachment 4), March 2018, suggests the City focus its economic development efforts on five industry clusters/sectors including:

 Healthcare Sector  Small-Scale Advanced Manufacturing Cluster  Food & Beverage Production, Processing, Packaging and Distribution Cluster  Tourism, Hospitality & Leisure Cluster  Residential Building & Services Cluster

In addition, the Strategy includes “game changers” — catalysts that have the potential to transform Brentwood’s economy and create new job opportunities for local residents. One of the identified “game changers” is the construction of a strategically located next generation business park, which is contemplated in the PA-1 Specific Plan.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 17 The following data regarding commercial development has been provided by CoStar.

Office: In the professional office, medical office and specialty office market, there is 1.1 million square feet of inventory, which includes the major regional outpatient medical centers. The current vacancy rate is 2.2% with 32,000 square feet available over multiple listed properties. There is limited office under construction, including approximately 20,000 square feet of private professional office and a pending medical center expansion by John Muir Health.

Vacancy Rate Trend - Office

Light Industrial: In the industrial, light industrial and “flex” market, there are 55 buildings in inventory, with 777,181 of developed square feet. The current vacancy rate is 4.4%. Available square footage is at 61,300 square feet over multiple properties with 57,000 square feet under construction and due for delivery by end of 2019. Market lease rates have increased about 85% over the pre-recession level which reflect regional and national light industrial trends.

Lease Rate Trend - Industrial

Recognized challenges include a limited supply of industrial zoned land, a lack of shovel ready development sites for light industrial buildings and the low availability of industrial space.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 18 Retail: Brentwood has a quality mix of power centers, neighborhood centers and niche development such as in downtown. Like many communities throughout the nation, Brentwood is not immune to the influences of national trends in corporate retail and online shopping. Center anchor vacancies do exist and the City Economic Development Division is coordinating with retailer’s representatives and regional brokers to attract lease-up opportunities into the existing centers. Sales leakage to outside of Brentwood also continues to be a concern. Recent departures in the big box retail market and the resulting loss of sales tax bring renewed focus on the fiscalization of land use aspect of planning for those types of land uses to create additional revenue opportunities and attracting and facilitating development for “big ticket” retailers that are more immune to online sales pressures.

Brentwood does have a strong consumer profile with an average household income exceeding $100,000 with disposable income availability. The market trade area is roughly 15 miles with an estimated population of 270,000 persons.

In the retail commercial market, there is 3.6M square feet of inventory, in 267 buildings with a vacancy rate of 4.0% and 301,000 square feet currently on-market as available (8% market availability). Approximately 146,000 square feet of new retail is under construction. New retail is being constructed within the PA-1 area at The Shops at Lone Tree including a 24 Hour Fitness gym and related highway service retailers.

The above chart details Occupancy at Delivery from 2006 to 2019. Recent trends show that retail is being delivered on a highly guaranteed level of occupancy which entails developers may be no longer willing to build retail on “spec”, and require a tenant in order for the development to proceed. Additionally, the trend mirrors the chart below which details amount of square feet delivered to market during the same period of time.

ULI Technical Assistance Panel Briefing Book City of Brentwood Page 19

Hotel: The PA-1 Employment Center/Light Industrial Land Use allows for a regional destination resort hotel and conference center on approximately 45 acres within PA-1. The City is undergoing a feasibility study with a hospitality consultant to evaluate best site options and market support for additional hotels in the community. There are currently three hotels in Brentwood with a total of 158 rooms.

Available land sites within PA-1 for integrated hotel development will benefit the jobs center model by providing hotel stay options for corporate business travelers. In addition, hotels positioned closer to transit and transportation connections, including a potential eBART location, may be more desirable for commuter’s and transit dependent travelers.

5. PA-1 IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN: The PA-1 Specific Plan, Table 10.1, Implementation Action Plan provides a roadmap for various actions including land use policy, infrastructure improvements, economic development and capital funding.
