FISCAL IMPACT None. BACKGROUND / REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION On March 31, 2005, the Board of Supervisors and the sub-regional Urban Limit Line (ULL) Task Forces met for a second summit on the development of a mutually agreeable ULL. While there was no resolution on the key issue of establishing a mutually agreeable ULL that would be presented to the voters for the November 2006 General Election, the following actions were taken by the assembled task forces: 1. Plan C, Plan C with Worth Amendments, and the East/Central ULL Task Forces' Proposal are to be forwarded to each jurisdiction for review and comment. 2. CCTA should consider how the EIR for the mutually agreeable ULL will be funded and other issues related to the environmental review process. 3. Continue discussions among the interested parties for the next 30 days and schedule a third summit meeting toward the end of April. Attached for Board members consideration are the handout materials from the second summit held on March 31 st , and a sample copy from the 903 postcards delivered to the Board of Supervisors at the March 31 st summit, by David Reid, Greenbelt Alliance, urging Board members to hold the Urban Limit Line.

Dennis Barry,Community Development Director,presented staff's report and suggested the Board consider the supplemental information dated April 12,2005,titled"Supplemental Material,Board of Supervisors meeting April 12,2005,Agenda Item#D3 `CONSIDER comments from members of the Board of Supervisors on the Urban Limit Line Task Force Summit held on March 31,2005 and determine actions to be taken."' On the issue of accepting the supplemental information, Supervisor Piepho dissented, stating that two communities(Discovery Bay Planning Area and Byron Airport Planning Area)were being singled out for discussion in the supplemental materials. Supervisor Glover stated that accepting the supplemental materials would provide an opportunity to release information for discussion,and that the Board would not be taking any related final actions this day. Supervisor Gioia stated that accepting the motion to consider the supplemental material would provide more detailed information for discussion. Supervisor Uilkema supported the motion, stating that she would like as much information as possible with which to better understand related discussions. By a motion of 4-1,the Board approved consideration of the supplemental information,with Supervisor Piepho dissenting. Supervisor DeSaulnier noted the need to determine whether the County's 2000 ULL Environmental Impact Report(EIR)would fulfill the County's requirements for receipt of Contra Costa Transportation Authority(CCTA)'s Measure J Return to Source(RTS)funds,which could avoid a duplication of effort. Mr.Barry said that County Counsel would need to research this issue. Supervisor Uilkema stated that the Board could also view steps that could be a duplication of effort as an insurance policy for if/when the issue ends up in litigation. Supervisor DeSaulnier asked staffto offer a comparison of the options. Supervisor Gioia presented issues raised at the last CCTA Planning Committee meeting.He said there was much discussion about the EIR,with one issue being who will pay for it,and another related issue being the possibility that differing jurisdictions could tier off to do their own EIR, in which case,who would pay for the second EIR was also discussed. Silvano Marchesi of County Counsel said that an EIR would obligate the provision of a reasonable range of alternatives,which could address this situation.Mr.Marchesi further said he was confident that County Counsel could provide the Board with legal information about the EIR by the April 26, 2005 Board meeting. Supervisor Uilkema requested Board member input on the six Proposed Amendments to Plan C(Worth) for a mutually agreeable Urban Limit Line,as stated in Exhibit#1 to the Board Order. The Board expressed the following positions: Regarding Proposed Amendment#l,which states: As provided in the Measure JExpenditure Plan, accept minor(less than 30 acres)non-consecutive adjustments to the ULL. The Board members unanimously agreed that they support Proposed Amendment#1. ADDENDUM TO ITEM D.3 April 12, 2005 Page 2 of 2 Regarding Proposed Amendment#2,which states: Accept City and County requests for tightening of the ULL. The Board members unanimously agreed that they support Proposed Amendment#2. Regarding Proposed Amendment#3,which states: Accept adjustments to bring inside the line split parcels in Clayton where city services are needed and where the change will not result in new development beyond that which is currently allowed in the Marsh Creek Road Specific Plan, including preserving the undeveloped land currently protected by County scenic easements. Supervisors Piepho and Uilkema stated a position of support,while Supervisors Gioia,DeSaulnier, and Gioia stated they would be willing to discuss Proposed Amendment#3. Regarding Proposed Amendment#4,which states: Bring inside the ULL those areas in the City of Martinez's Sphere of Influence that are already developed and concurrently place outside the ULL an equal number of acres in the waterfront area that are not already developed. The Board members unanimously agreed that they support Proposed Amendment#4. Regarding Proposed Amendment#5,which states: If the Federal Government releases the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS)for civilian use, the following shall occur: the ULL will be changed to include up top 1,500 acres of tidal portion for non-residential development if, concurrently, an amount of land equal to 125%of newly included acreage is placed outside the line from the inland portion of the CNWS. The Board members unanimously agreed that discussion is needed for the consideration of Proposed Amendment#5. Regarding Proposed Amendment#6,which states: Consistent with the city of San Ramon's voter approved ULL, approve two areas for addition on the west side of town. These were voted upon as part of San Ramon's voter approved General Plan.Approve the automatic line adjustment to include Camp Parks, should it be released from Federal control. The Board members unanimously agreed that they support Proposed Amendment#6. The Board of Supervisors took the following action by a 4-0 approval,with Supervisor Piepho dissenting: CONSIDERED supplemental information dated April 12, 2005,titled"Supplemental Material,Board of Supervisors meeting April 12,2005,Agenda Item#D.3 `CONSIDER comments from members of the Board of Supervisors on the Urban Limit Line Task Force Summit held on March 31,2005 and determine actions to be taken,"'in response to the request of Supervisor Glover that staff review and identify potential areas in East County that the Board could consider to be shifted outside the Urban Limit Line; And by unanimous approval,the Board of Supervisors: REQUESTED County Counsel report back to the Board in the form of a future Closed Session agenda item to respond to issues discussed today regarding the County's proposed role in the ULL EIR process, the range of EIR alternatives, and the issue of the validity of the County's 2000 ULL EIR for use in meeting the eligibility requirements of Measure J Return to Source funds criteria.

The total units developed may decrease pending environmental review and review of grading plans (unit count is more likely to be between 1,000 to 1,200 units). Original request was for 2,250 units. ■ The project is providing 589 acres of open space which is approximately 61% of the total project area. Of this acreage, 203 acres will be developed active open space (191 acre golf course and related facilities and 12 acres of mini parks) and 387 acres will be passive open space. Much of the passive open space area (40% of the project site) will serve to protect existing natural features such as oak woodlands, vernal pools, alkaline grasslands, and rock outcroppings and the various animal species found within these habitats, some of which are designated special status species. ■ The major hilltops in the project area are not proposed for residential development. ■ The project will provide a buffer of open space along Sand Creek and a regional trail within the open space corridor. Transportation Contribution: ■ Although this senior project will have a reduced impact on State Route 4 as compared with non-age restricted units, the project will pay the full current regional traffic fee of $8,400 per unit. ■ Local streets within the project will be private and will be maintained by the Home Owners Association at no cost to the City. School Mitigation: ■ The senior project will not have an impact on local schools. ■ Despite having no impact, the project will pay the required school mitigation fee for homes and other buildings. ■ The project will make a contribution of$1.5 million to the Antioch Unified School District. This is over and above the required school fees for development. Economic Development Benefits to the City of Antioch: ■ At the requested unit count, the project will contribute $6,500 per unit toward the City's Economic Development program. The total contribution will be $9,633,000. Contribution toward New Library and other Improvements at Prewett Park: ■ At the requested unit count, the project will contribute $6,500 per unit for construction, improvements, and/or operation of the City's library, competitive pool, and/or community center at Prewett Family Park. Total contribution will be $9,633,000. Questions and Answers concerning East County's SILL Request What is the timeline for the extension of BART service to East County? BART has secured more than half, $250 million, of the $400 million in funding required to complete the planning and construction of eBART service to Pittsburg,, Antioch, Brentwood, and Byron. Rail service is anticipated to begin operation in 2010. A diesel train is planned to provide service on the 23-mile extension from the existing Bay Point BART station to stations located in Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood, and Byron. Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood and Byron have worked with BART planners to identify potential station'sites in their communities. Pittsburg is proposing the construction of a transfer station (BART to eBART) at Highway 4 and Railroad Avenue. Highway 4, between Railroad Avenue and Harbor Street, was designed to accommodate a station to be built in Pittsburg and the construction of this portion of Highway 4 is nearing completion. What is Pittsburg doing tojacilitate construction of the Buchanan Road Bypass? Pittsburg is proposing to bring both the Thomas Ranch and Norton Valley areas inside the ULL because it will facilitate both the financing and construction of the Buchanan Road Bypass and thereby provide relief for Pittsburg residents from daily commute traffic on Buchanan Road. What is Brentwood doing to improve the safety of Vasco Road? Brentwood has committed to improving the safety of residents using Vasco Road. %..W y Recently, the City Council allocated $2 million dollars for Contra Costa County's use in constructing various safety improvements to the roadway. Of that allocation, approximately$450,000 has been used to date for restriping and other surface safety improvements. Brentwood has met and will continue to hold regular meetings with I-D representatives of Livermore, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties to address the future precise alignment of the roadway and long-term safety improvements necessary for residents using this roadway. Page I of 3' How would the addition of the residential units in these ULL adjustment areas impact.the growth rate of these communities? Each of the three cities has adopted growth management programs in order that infrastructure and community facilities are in place to serve the new residential units. Antioch, Brentwood and Pittsburg regulate and/or restrict the number of residential units that can be built each year through the use of their General Plan policies. Brentwood has slowed the approval of new residential units to an average of 450 units annually for the remaining 7,300 units left until General Plan buildout. These remaining units include the potential 2,900 units in the requested ULL adjustment areas. These units comprise 6 years of the 16 year supply for all remaining units contemplated in the General Plan buildout. Currently, Brentwood has 5,800 units which are approved but are not yet under construction. Antioch restricts new residential unit approvals to an average of 600 units a year for the remaining 5,200 units left until General Plan buildout. These remaining units include the 1,0{ 0 units in the requested ULL adjustment area, or I V2 years of the 9 year housing supply contemplated in its General Plan buildout. Presently, Antioch has 2,400 units that have been approved but are not under construction. Pittsburg currently has 4,400 approved units with another 14,000 potential units under its General Plan buildout. The 1,705 units included in the requested ULL adjustment are included within the 14,000 units at buildout of its General.Plan. If Brentwood has another 10-year supply of housing that it can approve and build on within the current ULL configuration, why does Brentwood need the proposed adjustment to the ULL now? Brentwood has planned its capital improvement program so that the current revenue from this 10-year phase of development is geared towards the construction of basic C-11'-'k pct qpvsr,,--x-r viintar rivnr4 -rr%nAvro%rq Tf)q n"f;r-""n+A!n6A fl-int +1-%,n Inof 11111"OLL L&%VLLL I%W-) J1.LV11 CiJ k3%w'Vy%WI I VV""0" LL'"' 1VClll VV CLY J.

If the tidal portion of the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) is closed and becomes available for civilian or joint use under the City of Concord's sole planning jurisdiction, the Urban Limit Line (U-LL) in that area adjusts as shown on diagram A to include approximately 1,500 acres within its boundary, and this acreage may be redeveloped for urban, non-residential uses consistent with the land use intensity classification established in the Concord 2030 General Plan for Port- related Industrial uses. At the time the acreage in the tidal area becomes available for civilian or joint use, and coincident with the acreage becoming incorporated into the City of Concord's jurisdiction, the City shall set aside for non-urban uses on the inland portion of the CNWS, an amount of land at least equal to 125% of the acreage designated for urban uses in the tidal area. Consistent with County Land Use Inventory Methodology of June 2000 Worth's Proposed Amendments to Plan C presented at the ULL Summit (Feb. 2G,2005) 5. If the Federal Government releases the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) for civilian use, the following shall occur: the ULL will be changed to include up to 1,500 acres of the tidal portion for non-residential development if, concurrently, an amount of land equal to 12510 of newly included acreage is place outside the line from the inland portion of the CNWS east of Mt.

Your Property Value 'is at Risk The City of Antioch is recommending that over 966 acres of FUA1 be built out with nearly 1,500 new residences. What does this mean for you? 0 You will be living in a Construction Zone for 6 ars, (or longer)-with all its continuous noise, dust& pollution—the construction is projected to end in 2012. This is a massive project covering 966 acres. it will take a long time to complete. & Your Property Values Are at Risk—25-35 acres of high density housing (apartments and similar structures) are planned to cover the valley floor(no more view). This means there will be significantly lower cost housing next to your luxury home. During the construction process, it will be difficult to sell your home for what it is worth today. Who wants to move in next to a 6-year construction site? 0 More TRAFFIC for You to Baffle—despite the much touted 'age restriction'of 55 years on the development,the truth is that 65% of men ages 55 and over still work. That's over two-thirds of the households who Will be adding to the traffic problem. Put another way, at a MINIMUM, an additional 1,000 to 1,500 cars will be joining the morning and evening commute. • Harmful to Your and Your Child's Health—The development plans call for an 18-hole golf course that uses many toxic substances like pesticides and fertilizers. While it sounds great, it is not. Medical studies show that living next to or near a golf course can adversely affect one's health. Especially at risk are seniors, children, and those with compromised immune systems. With the strong winds in Antioch,these toxic substances will be spread far and wide. In addition,the dust, paint and other materials kicked up during the extended construction period will aggravate allergies for those living in the area.

EXHIBIT #2: Sample Copy of Greenbelt Alliance Postcard Hold the Urban Limit Line! Board of Supervisors: I support holding the Urban Limit Line to protect our quality of life, our tax dollars, and our environment. Measure J will help with traffic relief, but only if we control growth with a tight and strong Urban Limit Line. If we allow more sprawl in East County and Concord, new houses will bring new cars and we'll be right back where we started, with long commutes in bumper-to-bumper traffic. And we'll have allowed thousands of acres of natural areas and working ranches to be paved over forever. --10 rpl: ftl I,,IJ-A Name: LO LAL U C- -Address: LT A V t 3 T-A a t V 'City: R I N 0,A Zig: 9�S-O -Day Phone: 9 a ' -7– I Li SZ Email; IOUOSC—�erlvemuce- ccc g .4i N, n P 'e--M..
