After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council of the City of Campbell

covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for
causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review.

valuation tables published by the International Code Council (ICC) and modified by the
Building Division of the City of Campbell is reasonably comparable to the valuation for the
construction of new dwellings.
