He then gets into what happens if Antioch says no.<\/li>\n03:47<\/strong> \u2013 We chat about Measure L and what it actually does. How did Blackhwak Nunn come up with this specific project which actually began in the late 1980\u2019s.<\/li>\n06:28<\/strong> \u2013 Beinke provides and overview of what Measure L would provide for the City of \nBrentwood.<\/li>\n 09:28<\/strong> \u2013 We talk about how this land is currently unincorporated Contra Costa and its up to Brentwood or Antioch and who wants to control it.<\/li>\n10:20<\/strong> \u2013 We get into Antioch\u2019s urban limit line and The Ranch Project and this assumption Antioch has already said no. Roddy Ranch was approved by voters for 700-800 homes, which is now owned by East Bay Regional Park District\u2014building permits, property tax revenue, sales tax, jobs, infrastructure is now lost.<\/li>\n12:10<\/strong> \u2013 How this project will have no impact on Antioch if approved, this is basically a windfall of unexpected money at millions of dollars. Beinke highlights there is interest and cities would not pass this up due to infrastructure improvements.<\/li>\n14:02<\/strong> \u2013 Beinke explains how the East Contra Costa Fire Department got involved in this project and included with funding and what they get out of project.<\/li>\n19:45<\/strong> \u2013 Beinke explains the California Highway Patrol (CHP) concern and people are taking it out of context and what their letter means in the EIR. Explains it\u2019s a comment letter, which is why the Brentwood Police Officers Association supports Measure L.<\/li>\n22:01<\/strong> \u2013 Brentwood Police Officer Association endorsement, now people in the community have turned nasty towards Brentwood POA. Others are also being attacked for their position on Measure L.<\/li>\n26:20<\/strong> \u2013 Are members of the community of Brentwood overlooking the needs of senior housing?<\/li>\n29:07<\/strong> \u2013 We get into how this 590-home design came about and where it came from and why are people touting this? Beinke explains this property was zoned for 3-houses per acre in 2014 through General Plan Update.<\/li>\n31:20<\/strong> \u2013 with Seth Adams (Save Mount Diablo) confirming this land was always in the plans to be developed for over 30-years, with the city council approving development on the land in 2014, why would Brentwood residents say \u201cno\u201d and basically tell Antioch to take it?<\/li>\n33:30<\/strong> \u2013 Beinke explains the on-site open space on the property within Measure L and what they plan to do with it\u2014explains how this is an open space amenity through the homeowners association.<\/li>\n35:45<\/strong> \u2013 Why should Shadow Lakes residents want this project?<\/li>\n38:20<\/strong> \u2013 American Avenue, what does it get built and is it the first thing to be done in this plan? Beinke says American Avenue and Balfour Road improvements are in phase 1 and will begin immediately. We get into the false bait and switch claims on social media and how a lot of the claims are false because this plan is in the measure and protections are in place. We get into how a strong city council and planning commission become the referees for the project.<\/li>\n41:30<\/strong> \u2013 If Measure L does not pass, Beinke says again they are going to Antioch.<\/li>\n43:25<\/strong> \u2013 I get into how I believe Blackhawk Nunn has been responsible in their developments and communities while protecting open space\u2014Summerset and Trilogy are just two examples. Says most of the homes in Brentwood had to be annexed in like they are trying to do now.<\/li>\n45:55<\/strong> \u2013 We get into the false rhetoric of how adding more housing will lower home values, Beinke breaks down how that is not true.<\/li>\n49:00<\/strong> \u2013 I close by encouraging everyone to get educated on the issue and make an educated decision because its more complex than more houses or vehicles on the road. I encourage community leaders, city council members, planning commissioners and school board members to step up and let the community know where they stand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On this episode, I chat with Matt Beinke of Blackhawk Nunn on their proposed development…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,21513],"tags":[26576,4171,869,559,372,10,379,26420,26577,3359,16608],"yoast_head":"\n
