Application: Pre-Application
Dear Mr. Baig,
Thank you for your October 10, 2012 submittal of a preliminary application for a proposed ten
parcel single-family residential subdivision on property located at the above referenced address.
Based on a review of the pre-application materials, the Campbell Municipal Code (CMC), the
San Tomas Area Neighborhood and Public Improvement Plans, staff has the following
preliminary comment:
PLAN REVISION
Subdivision Desis?n: The purpose of new development review pursuant to the Campbell
Municipal Code and the State of California Subdivision Map Act is to preserve the public health,
safety and general welfare, and promote orderly growth and development. As such the proposed
subdivision design appears to be inconsistent with the purpose set forth based upon the provided
lot configurations. Orderly development would entail standard parcels with fiont yards abutting
the public street, minimum 60 foot lot widths, and rear yards that are directly opposite.
Additionally, the side lines of all lots, so far as possible, shall be at right angles to the public
street or radial or approximately radial to curved streets.
As your pre-application requires a study session before the Planning Commission, I reconunend
revisiting the subdivision design in order to present the best possible project. If you still feel that
the previously submitted subdivision design is the most desirable, please respond accordingly
and your current proposal will be presented to the Planning Commission. Following the study
session, staff will prepare a formal response letter incorporating the Planning Division's review
comments and sumanarizing the Planning Commission's study session discussion. Subsequently,
you will be able to submit for a Tentative Subdivision Map application.
