The Brentwood City Council has officially approved the construction of a new downtown fire station, named Fire Station 94, overturning an earlier denial from the Planning Commission. The decision was contentious, with a 3-2 vote during a meeting that extended into the early morning hours. The Council mandated several design changes to align with community standards, addressing concerns raised regarding traffic, aesthetics, and the station's impact on local character. The proposal faced local opposition, especially among military veterans, prompting further scrutiny and appeal from Councilmember Tony Oerlemans.
After hours of deliberation, the Brentwood City Council voted 3-2 to approve the construction of the new Fire Station 94, overturning previous Planning Commission denial.
Mayor Meyer and Councilmember Mendoza dissented, stressing the need for design changes, including compliant parking spaces and features consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan.
