1. A Final Environmental Impact Report (PLN2018-148) has been prepared for the
project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, which provides
documentation for the factual basis for concluding that the project may have a
significant effect on the environment as conditioned, but that substantial public
benefits warrant a decision to override these impacts, as set forth in the
accompanying Statement of Overriding Consideration.
Evidentiary Findings

Removal Permit (also filed under PLN2017- 381) for the approval of site and
building configuration, including building height and Floor Area Ratio ("FAR"), to
change the zoning from C-M (Controlled Manufacturing) to P-D (Planned
Development), and to remove eight protected trees.
2. The project site consists of a single parcel located adjacent to the corner of
Knowles Drive and Dell Avenue, on the City's southern border with Los Gatos.
3. The project site, at 1700 Dell Avenue (Assessor's Parcel Number 424-33-094), is
currently developed with a 71 ,620-square-foot office building and surface parking
lot.

4. Abutting land uses include the Los Gatos Creek and Los Gatos Creek Trail to the
east, and a mix of commercial, office, and light industrial uses to the north, west,
and south.
5. The project site is zoned C-M (Controlled Manufacturing) as shown on the
Campbell Zoning Map and will be rezoned to P-D (Planned Development).
6. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment may be approved concurrently with the
Planned Development Permit and Tree Removal Permit (also filed under
PLN2017-381).
7. As set forth in the Final EIR and other portions of the administrative record, the
Zoning Map Amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the
General Plan, including without limitation the following:
Policy LUT-2.4: Jobs and Housing Balance: Maintain Campbell's
balance of jobs and housing units to encourage

composed of residential, industrial and commercial
neighborhoods, each with its own individual character;

variety of attractive and convenient commercial and

Policy LUT-5.5: Industrial Diversity: Promote a variety of industrial use
opportunities that maintain diversified services and a
diversified economic base.
Strategy LUT-5.5b: Incubator Businesses: Maintain industrial space for
small start-up and incubator businesses.
Strategy LUT-9.1 c: Land Use Objectives and Redevelopment Plans:
Permit only those uses that are compatible with land
use objectives and redevelopment plans.
Strategy CNR-3.1 a: Development Near Riparian Corridors: Cooperate with
State, federal and local agencies to ensure that
development does not cause significant adverse
impacts to existing riparian corridors.
Strategy LUT-9.3f: Development Orientation: Orient new development
toward public and private amenities or open space, in
particular:
• Orient front entrances, living/office area and
windows toward the amenity or open space.
• Orient high activity areas such as outdoor dining
areas and plazas, and major pedestrian routes
toward the amenity or open space.
Strategy LUT-9.3g: Pedestrian Amenities: Incorporate pedestrian
amenities such as plazas, landscaped areas with
seating, pedestrian walkways into new developments.
Strategy LUT-10.1c: Outdoor Common Areas: Encourage well designed
and landscaped outdoor common areas for eating,
relaxing, or recreation for new projects, and if feasible,
when buildings are remodeled or expanded. When
possible, the common outdoor areas should adjoin
natural features.
Strategy LUT-10.1a: Natural Feature Retention: Encourage site design that
incorporates or otherwise retains natural features such

as mature trees, terrain, vegetation, wildlife and
creeks.
8. The findings of fact set forth in Ordinance 2263, approving the Planned
Development Permit, are hereby incorporated by this reference.
9. The size and location of this property is unique within the city. The property is
currently underutilized. Age and design are not supportive of leasing such that it
remains significantly vacant.
10.The proposed project is unique to this site and does not establish a development
precedent for the remainder of the parcels in the Dell Avenue area or the City.
SECTION TWO: Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and substantial evidence in
the administrative record, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the
General Plan.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or general welfare of the city.
3. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions
of this Zoning Code.
4. The parcel, which is approximately 4.5 acres, is physically suitable (including
absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses,
and provision of utilities) for the requested zoning designation(s) and anticipated
land uses/project; consistent with the above, while the site and building
configuration would exceed FAR and height limitations in the C-M zoning district
that currently applies to the site, the bulk and massing of the project will be
compatible with surrounding uses for a number of reasons set forth in these
findings of fact, including without limitation that the 4.5-acre size of the project site,
the proposed setbacks, the proposed amount of open space, and on-site
vegetation that will screen the project site from various public vantage points.
SECTION THREE: The Zoning Map of the City of Campbell is hereby amended pursuant
to Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2017-381) to change the zoning district designation from
