RESOLUTION N0.4002
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SITE AND
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PERMIT (PLN2010-203) TO ALLOW
A MODIFICATION TO A SIDE YARD SETBACK TO ALLOW A
SECOND STORY ADDITION ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 175
N. SECOND STREET IN AN R-1-6 (SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR.
BRIAN ACED. FILE NO.: PLN2010-203.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as
follows with respect to application PLN2010-203:
Environmental Finding
1. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to the construction of additions
to existing structures within an area where all public services and facilities are available
to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and not
environmentally sensitive.
Evidentiary Findings
1. The project site is zoned R-1-6 (Single Family Residential) on the City of Campbell
Zoning Map.
2. The project site is designated Low Density Residential (6 units/gr. acre) on the City of
Campbell General Plan Land Use diagram.
3. The proposed project will be compatible with the R-1-6 (Single Family Residential) Zone
District with approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit due the proposed FAR of
.30.
4. The project site is located on the west side of Second Street between Grant Street and
Latimer Avenue.
5. The proposed rear addition is a simple extension along existing building lines in that the
second story addition is within existing setbacks and is in conformance with the City of
Campbell Design Guidelines for Additions to Single Family Homes.

6. The proposed side setback would not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort
or general welfare of persons in the neighborhood, or the city as a whole in that the
proposed project is primarily a rear yard addition along an existing setback (legal
nonconforming, but less than what currently would be required for the existing wall
height), and does not include a second story window facing the adjacent neighbor, staff
could support a finding that the existing side setback would not be detrimental to the
health, safety, peace, comfort or general welfare of persons in the neighborhood, or the
city as a whole.
7. The side setback would not unreasonably interfere with the ability of adjoining property
owners to enjoy access to air, privacy, sunlight, and the quiet enjoyment of the owner's
property in that the site development pattern of this specific neighborhood, where
residences were constructed with one minimum side setback (approximately five feet)
and an increased side setback that includes the driveway access for a detached garage
located to the rear of the residence (approximately 16 feet), a sufficient distance is
achieved between the residences such that maintaining the existing side setback would
not unreasonable interfere with the ability of the adjoining property owners to enjoy
access to air, privacy, sunlight, and the quiet enjoyment of their property.
8. The project does not include design features that make it appear significantly larger than
the adjacent homes and the homes in the surrounding area as the proposed addition
does not increase the height of the existing residence or significantly modify the existing
architectural style.
9. The project is compatible with the architecture of the existing home and the adjacent
neighborhood in that the project utilizes simple architectural design that matches existing
materials and colors of existing residence, with a design not out of conformance with the
surrounding community.
10. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently
presented and subject to the required Conditions of Approval, will have a significant
adverse impact on the environment.
11. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions
of Approval and the impacts of the project.
12. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project
and the type of development project.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code
Sections 21.08.030(E) and 21.42.060(8), the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The side setback would not unreasonably interfere with the ability of adjoining property
owners to enjoy access to air, privacy, sunlight, and the quiet enjoyment of the owner's
property;

owners to enjoy access to air, privacy, sunlight, and the quiet enjoyment of the owner's
property;
3. The project will be consistent with the General Plan;
4. The project will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area; and
5. The project is consistent with applicable adopted design guidelines.
