Project Location and Setting
As shown on Figure 1, the City of Campbell is located south of the San Francisco Bay in Santa
Clara County. The city has a rich startup employment base with a diverse population, quality
schools, conveniently -located neighborhood parks, and a variety of retail options and
entertainment options in its historic and vibrant Downtown. The city is served by Valley
Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail stations (Hamilton, Campbell, and Winchester stations in
Campbell, and the Bascom station immediately northeast of city limits). The city is accessed by
Highway State Route 17, which runs north/south and bisects the city and runs roughly parallel to
NOA—Envision Campbell General Plan and Housing Element Update
Los Gatos Creel:, and Highway State Route 85 that runs roughly east —west and cuts through the
southwest corner of the city. Campbell is bordered on the east and north by San Jose, on the
south by Los Gatos, and on thewest by a small portion of Saratoga. The project's regional location
is shown in Figure 1.
The Planning Area is the geographic area for which the Plan provides a framework for long-term
plans for growth, and resource conservation. State law requires the Plan to include all territory
within Campbell's incorporated area as well as "any land outside its boundaries which in the
planning agency's judgment bears relation to its planning" (California Government Code Section
653D0). The Planning Area, as shown in Figure 2; includes the entire city limits (approximately
3,060.65 acres).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Campbell is preparing a comprehensive update to its existing General Plan, including
the Housing Element (collectively referred to as the General Plan). The updated Campbell General
Plan is expected to be adopted in late 2022 or early 2023, and will guide the City's development
and conservation through land use objectives and policy guidance. The Plan is intended to be an
expression of the community's vision for the City and Planning Area and constitutes the policy
and regulatory framework by which future development projects will be reviewed and public
improvements will be implemented. The Housing Element portion of the General Plan addresses
the City's obligations and programs for the provision of its fair share of housing in California. The
City will implement the Plan by requiring development, infrastructure improvements, and other
projects to be consistent with: its policies and by implementing the actions included in the Plan.
State law requires the City to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical
development of its planning area. The Plan must include land use, circulation, housing,
conservation, open space, noise, and safety elements, as specified in Government Code Section
65302, to the extent that the issues identified by State law exist in the City's planning area.
The Campbell General Plan jwill include a comprehensive set of goals, policies, and actions
(implementation measures), as well as a revised Land Use Map (Figure 2).
A goal in the Plan is the broadest statement of community values. It is a generalized ideal which
provides a sense of direction for action with a vision of desired future conditions. The essence of
the Plan is contained within its policies. Policies are statements which further refine the goals, and
guide the course of action the City must take to achieve the goals in the Plan. It is important to
note that policies are guides for decision makers, not decisions themselves. Action items are steps
or actions the City should take to implement the Plan. The Implementation Element identifies the
responsible entity and timing for each Action item.
General Plan Elements
The Campbell General Plan will include a comprehensive set of goals, policies, and actions
(implementation measures), as well as a revised Land Use Map (Figure 2). The State requires that
the General Plan contain seven mandatory elements: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space,
Page 2 of 13
NCA—Envision Campbell General Plan and Housing Element Update
Noise, Safety, and Conservation, as well as address issues related to climate change, resiliency
planning, and environmental justice, either as separate Elements oras components of the required
Element framework. The Campbell General Plan will include all of the State -mandated elements,
as well as optional elements and issue areas, including Community Design, Community Services
and Facilities, Economic and Fiscal Sustainability, Community Health and Wellness, and
Sustainability.
• The Land Use Element designates the general distribution and intensity of residential,
commercial, industrial, mixed -use, open space, public/semi-public, and other categories
of public and private land uses. The Land Use Element includes the Land Use Map, which
identifies land use designations for each parcel in the city limits and Planning Area (Figure
2).
• The Community Design Element identifies high-level community design objectives for
the City of Campbell, including the relationship beween the public and private realm,
streetscapes, best site planning practices, and placemaking strategies.
• The Transportation Element correlates closely with the Land Use Element, and identifies
the general locations and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares,
transportation routes, and alternative transportation facilities necessaryto support a rnulti-
modal transportation system. This element is intended to facilitate mobility of people and
goods throughout Campbell by a variety of transportation modes, including bicycle,
pedestrian, and transit opportunities.
• The Housing Element plans for housing to meet the needs of all segments of the
community and addresses state requirements. The current revision to the Housing
Element covers the 2023-2031 planning period.
• The Conservation and Open Space Element addresses conservation topics including:
development and use of natural resources, open space, riparian environments, native plant
and animal species, soils, cultural/historical resources, air quality, and alternative energy.
It also details objectives and measures for preserving open space for natural resources and
the managed production of resources.
• The Economic and Fiscal Sustainability Elements Provide tools and strategies to
strengthen and diversify the local economy and ensures the City maintains adequate
revenues to provide quality public services. These elements seek to sustain and diversify
the cty's economy, recognizing the importance of supporting existing and local
businesses while broadening and expanding the employment base and economic
opportunities within the city.
Page 3 of 13
NCA—Envision Campbell General Plan and Housing Element Update
• The Safety Element addresses a variety of natural and human -related hazards such as
fires, geologic hazards, as well as hazardous materials, and contains goals and policies
aimed at reducing risk associated with these hazards.
The Noise Element addresses noise -generating and noise -sensitive uses such as
residences and schools. This element also addresses the required topics related to noise,
including standards and policies to protect the community from the harmful and annoying
effects of exposure to excessive noise levels. This elernent includes strategies to reduce
land use conflicts that.may result in exposure to unacceptable noise levels.
The Community Services and Facilities Element establishes policies and programs that
address the following public services and facilities: police services; fire protection services;
schools; civic, library, and other community facilities; water supplies, sewer services, storm
drainage infrastructure, and solid waste disposal. While not specifically required by State
law for inclusion in the General Plan, the Community Services and Facilities Element is a
critical component in meeting the infrastructure and utility services needs of businesses
and residents. This element also ensures adequate planning for park and recreation
services and facilities.',
• The Community Health and Wellness Element acknowledges the profound effects of
the built environment on travel choices, access to food, levels of physical activity, and
exposure to risk from accidents or pollution. The Element addresses the topics of active
living, healthy lifestyles, environmental justice, and community building.
• The Sustainability Element identifies measures that balance resource supply and
consumption to develop in harmony with the environment to ensure current residents and
future generations to have continued access to resources. The General Plan's policies and
actions support the principle of sustainability. Creating and maintaining a sustainable
community requires integrating sustainable principles into the City's everyday actions and
future policy decisions, while adapting to changing environmental conditions, new
technologies, and staying informed of innovations and current best practices.

Growth Projections
While no specific development projects are proposed as part of the Campbell General Plan
Update, the General Plan will 'accommodate future growth in Campbell, including new businesses,
expansion of existing businesses, and new residential uses. The buildout analysis assumes an
approximate 20-year horizon; and 2040 is assumed to be the buildout year of the General Plan.
Table 2 below summarizes the range of new growth, including residential units, and non-
residential square footage that could occur upon full buildout of the proposed General Plan. It is
noted that there are very few vacant parcels in Campbell. As such, most of the new growth
projected through General Plan buildout would occur as existing developed parcels redevelop
with new or modified uses over time. The projections shown in the table below represent good -
faith estimates of growth that could potentially occur following adoption of the General Plan.
Consistent with the Proposed General Plan Land Use Map (Figure 2), future growth would largely
be focused near transit stations, transit corridors, in existing and proposed areas of multifamily
and mixed -use development, and in existing business -serving areas. As shown in Table 2 buildout
of the General Plan could yield a total of upto 26,224 housing units, a population of 64,929 people,
12,724,055 square feet of non-residential building square footage, and 36,908 jobs within the
Planning Area. As shown in Table 2, this represents development growth over existing conditions
of up to 8,863 new dwelling units, 22,203 people, 2,633,721 square feet of new non-residential
building square footage and 6,194 new jobs.

Growth projections should not be considered a prediction for growth, as the actual amount of
development that will occur throughout the planning horizon of the General Plan is based on
many factors outside of the City's control. Actual future development would depend oil future
real estate and labor market conditions, property owner preferences and decisions, site -specific
constraints, land turnover, and other factors. Additionally, new development and growth are

largely dictated by existing development conditions. Very few communities in California actually
develop to the full potential allowed in their respective General Plans during the planning horizon.
Program EIR Analysis
The City, as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has prepared
a Program EIR for the Campbell General Plan Update in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines
(Guidelines), relevant case law, and City procedures.
Project Approvals:
The updated Campbell General Plan will be presented to the Planning Commission for review and
recommendation and to the City Council for comment, review, and consideration for adoption.
The City Council has the sole discretionary authority to approve and adopt the Campbell General
Plan. In order to approve the proposed project, the City Council. would consider the following
actions:
• Certification of the General Plan EIR;
• Adoption of required CEQA findings for the above action; and
• Approval and Adoption of the General Plan Update.
Subsequent Uses of the EIR
The EIR will provide a review of environmental effects associated with implementation of the
proposed General Plan, consistent with the requirements established by CEQA Guidelines Section
15168. When considering approval of subsequent activities under the proposed General Plan, the
City of Campbell would utilize the EIR as the basis in determining potential environmental effects
and the appropriate level of environmental review, if any, of a subsequent activity, consistent with
the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 and 15162. Projects or activities successive
to this EIR may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Approval and funding of major projects and capital improvements;
• Future adoption of a Precise Plan, Planned Unit Development, or Master Plan approvals;
