The purpose and intent of the BB zone is to transform the auto-oriented former State Route 4 corridor into a more traditional boulevard with distinctive, unique, front-facing buildings as reflected in the Brentwood Boulevard specific plan (BBSP). The BBSP also promotes comfortable walkways and generous landscaping to provide an active, inviting, and attractive location for residents, workers, and visitors. Brentwood Boulevard within the boundaries of the BB zone is a distinguished portion of the city that extends between the city limits at Delta Road on the north and the downtown at Second Street on the south. The BBSP provides for a cohesive arrangement of uses, building types, frontage treatments, and street designs that function as integral parts of a single urban structure. Taken together, the expectation is that the structure over time will result in an area comprised of an attractive and desirable streetscape environment along which well-designed buildings are located behind generous amounts of continuous landscaping and open space. The result is a prominent setting for new development and a framework for new neighborhood and workplace districts along one of the city's most visible corridors.
