Ballot Argument
Brentwood must control its future, reduce crime, revitalize our economy and improve property values. That’s why we’re voting Yes on Measure F.
Measure F creates Brentwood’s own Urban Limit Line. This new growth control tool will allow Brentwood’s voters to decide where and if we allow development around our border. Currently, these decisions are controlled by countywide voters and the Board of Supervisors. Local residents should decide, not outsiders nor nearby cities.
Measure F does not guarantee new development will happen. It establishes zoning and an agreement defining City and land owner rights and obligations. Should development occur, Brentwood’s fiscal analysis showed $60,000,000 in direct City revenue along with an annual $800,000 surplus. Any actual development would be years away and after the market absorbs current extra housing.
Importantly, Measure F would require potential growth to more than pay its own way. Implementation of our initiative would:
- FUND NEW CRIME PREVENTION TOOLS FOR OUR POLICE. These dollars, along with additional officers, support safer neighborhoods.
- GENERATE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT in Brentwood’s economy. With provisions supporting local hiring, dollars would be spent here, helping our businesses and workers. More jobs make a better Brentwood.
- IMPROVE PROPERTY VALUES. Safer neighborhoods, more jobs, millions in investment and Brentwood planning control are keys to increasing home prices. Collapsing property values create a devastating downward spiral. We must protect Brentwood from this fate.
- PROVIDE RESOURCES for job retraining, promoting our business parks and granting college scholarships to Brentwood students.
- REQUIRE FIXING BALFOUR ROAD AND AMERICAN AVENUE around Heritage High and Adams Middle schools. Extra elementary school capacity is planned. Additional major sports fields and parks are funded.
Help Brentwood help itself. We urge you to join us in our strong support of Measure F by voting Yes. Thank you!
