A Message to Deer Ridge and Shadow Lakes residents,
The City of Brentwood received an application from Deer Ridge and Shadow Lakes Golf, L.P. to reconfigure the two golf courses into 18 holes, construct a new cart bridge over Balfour Road, and to establish General Plan and zoning designations that would allow for the future construction of two senior residential facilities. The applications include:
· General Plan amendment
· Rezoning
· Design Review (for new golf cart bridge)
· Tentative Parcel (subdivision) maps
· Environmental Impact Report
General Plan Amendment. To re-designate two areas with a combined area of 31.2 acres from Semi Public Facility to Residential High Density (11.1 – 20.0 dwelling units per gross acre). The remaining area currently designated Semi Public Facility will continue to allow golf course and open space uses.
Rezoning. Amend the existing Planning Development (PD) districts for Shadow Lakes (PD-18) and Deer Ridge (PD-20). Those areas of the existing PD districts that are comprised of the golf courses and associated open space would be included within a new PD district, to allow one 18-hole golf course and two senior residential facilities. All other areas of PD-18 and PD-20 would remain unchanged.
· New golf course. The two existing 18-hole courses would be combined into one 18-hole course. The existing Shadow Lakes club house would remain and serve as the club house for the new course. Holes 1 to 10 would be located north of Balfour Road. Holes 11 to 18 would be located south of Balfour.
· A new golf cart bridge over Balfour Road is proposed, linking the new course.
· Village 1.
o 13 acres located at the site of the existing Deer Ridge club house and parking lot
o Proposed uses: senior facilities, allowing independent or assisting living
o Maximum number of units: 250 in multiple buildings, up to three stories in height
· Village 2.
o 18.2 acres located east of the Shadow Lakes club house, adjoining the north side of Balfour Road
o Proposed uses: senior facilities, allowing independent or assisting living
o Maximum number of units: 310 in multiple buildings, up to three stories in height
· Conceptual Site Plans. The applicant is not requesting design approval of the residential villages at this time.
Design Review. A request to construct a new golf cart bridge over Balfour Road, connecting the new golf course.
Tentative Parcel (subdivision) maps. The applicant is requesting approval of two subdivision maps, one at Deer Ridge (427 M 29) and the other at Shadow Lakes (421 M 01). Each of these maps would create parcels to accommodate the proposed senior residential facilities.
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Under state law, the City is the “lead agency,” responsible environmental review is conducted for all qualified development projects consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City has determined that an EIR is necessary for this golf course and senior residential project.
*************************************************************************************
Tentative Project Schedule. Public hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council to consider this application are expected to be held in the spring of 2018.
Project Information on City Website. You will be notified by a separate email when the project plans will be available for review on the City’s website (estimated early next week).
