Measure F vs. Measure L
In 2005, voters in Pittsburg and Antioch approved Urban Limit Lines for their two cities. The people of Antioch approved Measure K by a 59.7%% to 40.3% margin. This action allowed for the expansion of Antioch to include Roddy Ranch and brought Antioch all the way to Deer Valley Road at Balfour.
At the same time, Brentwood’s votes rejected Measure L. Had it passed, Measure L would have established Brentwood’s own Urban Limit Line. By the narrow margin of 50.8% to 49.2%, people in Brentwood expressed their dissatisfaction with some of the elements of Measure L and demanded better.
This year, leaders in Brentwood brought forward Measure F in an attempt to respond to the concerns that voters had with 2005’s Measure L. A comparison of the two measures demonstrates that these leaders have listened:
| Measure L | Measure F | |
| Acreage | more than 1,600 | 740 |
| Maximum Possible # of Homes | No maximum Estimated at 2,900 |
1,300 maximum |
| Density | Undetermined | Low Density, less than 2 Per acre. Lower density than Deer Ridge or Shadow Lakes. Low density leads to higher Property values. |
| Owner Occupied rules | None | Program to require owners to occupy their homes. Designed to prevent investor-owned rental housing which has devastated other cities. |
| Jobs Program | None | Multi million dollar job fund for Brentwood residents. Local hire preference established. |
| Schools | None provided | Full Elementary School planned providing excess capacity to District. Supported by educators & school board members. |
| Public Safety Program | None | Extra funding for Police along with new crime-prevention tools. Supported by public safety leaders. |
| Fiscal Impact | Undetermined | Projected $60 million in capital infusion to City. $800,000 annual surplus. |
| Agriculture | Opposed by local farmers | Funding to preserve open space and maintain Ag economy. Supported by local farmers. |
| Fix Balfour Road/American Avenue | Undetermined | Required. Privately funded by land owners. |
