Most significant proposed changes
1. The following districts are proposed to be removed from the code as
they are no longer applicable:
A.
R-4
Multiple Family Residential
B.
C-3
Central Business District
C.
CH
Highway Commercial District
D.
M-2
Heavy Industrial District
E.
Outdoor Business District
F.
A
Exclusive Agricultural District
G.
B
Special Zoning Area
There are currently several properties zoned C-3 and M-2. The C-3
properties would have to be rezoned to C-2, and the M-2 properties to
M-1.
2. In Chapter 21.06 - Planned Development District add the following
sentence to Section 21.06.010 Purpose:
"It is not the intent of the PD district to allow more
residential units than would be allowed by other residential
zoning districts which are consistent with the General Plan."
This should make it clear that the PD district is not intended as a
means to increase density on property.
3. In Chapter 21.08 - R-1 - Single Family District, the following major
changes are proposed to the accessory building regulations:
21.08.020(D) Accessory Buildings:
(5) Add requirement that "Not more than one accessory structure
shall exceed 200 sq. ft. in area. No accessory structure
shall exceed a maximum size of 1,000 sq. ft."
(6) Add "For the purpose of the ordinance, an accessory building
and private garage will be considered detached if they do
not share a common interior wall with the main building."
The purpose of the first change is to limit the number and size of
accessory buildings in the City. Staff is aware of some properties
where the accessory buildings are almost as large as the main dwelling
and other properties which have two or more large accessory buildings
on the property. This creates a cluttered residential yard and
encourages illegal conversions to living units.
The second proposed change would prevent attachment of an accessory
building to the main structure by a breezeway or fence solely for the
purpose of exceeding the maximum 14 foot height requirements of an
accessory building.
4. In Chapter 21.16 - R-3 `lultiple Family District eliminate the
following allowed uses:
A. Hotel.
L. Boarding or lodging house.
C. Private club.
Staff believes that the R-3 District is not the appropriate zone for
these uses.
5. In Chapter 21.20 - P-0 Professional Office District revise Section
21.20.060 to increase the maximum building coverage from 25% to 40%.
The requirement is too restrictive and the 40% requirements would be
consistent with the maximum coverage of the residential zoning
districts.
6. In Chapter 21.24 - C-2 General Co=— ercial District the following uses
shall require use permits:
A. Animal hospital or pet clinic.
B. Outdoor business activities.
C. Radio stations.
D. Record store.
The use permit requirement will give the Commission more control over
these uses.
7. In Chapter 21.32 - M-1 Light Industrial District allow commercial
recreational facilities with a use permit. These facilities could
include indoor batting cages, racquetball courts, etc., that may be
appropriate in some industrial zoning locations.
S. In Chapter 21.42 - S - Site and Architectural Review Area, Section
21.42.070 is proposed to require that a noticed public hearing be held
for site and architectural review application, whereas previously one
was not required. It is Staff's opinion that because of the density
of the City and the impact a new building can have on adajcent
properties that surrounding property owners should be notified. This
will allow them to offer their input and facilitate greater public
participation. There have been numerous complaints in the past from
nearby owners who were unaware of proposed projects. The noticing
procedure would not delay applications but would add some additional
cost for the mailing and newspaper publication.
9. In Chapter 21.50 Parking require designated guest parking for
apartments, condominiums and townhomes. In addition to other parking
required for these uses, designated guest parking would be required at
a ratio of one space for each 5 units or fraction thereof.
Under Section 21.50.020 add requirements for signing of handicapped
parking spaces and indicating that unauthorized vehicles will be
towed.
F
10. Chaoter 21.57 - Landscaping and Landscaping Maintenance Requirements.
Previously the Code contained Chapter 21.51 Landscaping, Improvement
and Maintenance of Commercially Zoned Parking Lots. This Chapter set
out no landscaping standards for other zoning districts. the new
Chapter has been completely re -written to set out minimum landscaping
standards for most zoning district. It should be emphasized that the
standards are the minimum requirements and a provision is included
allowing the Planning CommAssion to require more landscaping. The
Chapter also includes a section requiring that landscape areas be
continuously maintained. Also a requirement was added encouraging the
use of native and drought tolerant plants.
11. Section 21.59.090(C) would give the Planning Director authority to
approve fences in excess of 6 feet under certain circumstances. The
reason for this change is that there are many requests for.increased
fence heights and the CouLnission should not have to spend its time on
these minor applications.
12. Revise Section 21.75.050. Under the current code, a 4/5 vote of the
Council is required to overrule a recommendation of the Planning
Co-.rnission for denial of a zoning amendment. Staff can find no
requirement in state law for this requirement, consequently, it is
recommended that a simple majority of the Council be used as with
other applications.

of land than would be possible under any other zoning classifi-
cation, and that it would be compatible with the General Plan

the immediate area, the council shall approve the application;

construction of the project is to begin and the anticipated
date of completion shall be approved with the project. A
planned development permit shall expire upon expiration of

extended or reinstated by the planning commission upon receipt
of a written request which includes a new development schedule.

identifying, protecting, and preserving the historic and/or
cultural resources of the city of Campbell.
It is hereby declared as a matter of public policy
that the recognition, preservation, enhancement, perpetuation
and use of structures, natural features, sites and areas
within the city of Campbell having historic, architectural,
archeological, cultural or aesthetic significance is required
in the interest of the health, economic prosperity, cultural
enrichment and general welfare of the people. The purpose
of this chapter is to:
(1) Safeguard the heritage of the city by providing
for the protection of landmarks representing significant
elements of its history;

likely to yield information of value about history, archi-
tecture, culture or aesthetics, or that provides for existing
and future generations an example of the physical surround-
ings in which past generations lived or worked. The factor
of age alone does not necessarily confer a special historical,
cultural, architectural, or aesthetic value of interest upon
a structure or site, but it may have such effect if a more
distinctive, significant or important example thereof no
longer exists.
(5) "Structure" means anything directly or indirectly
fixed or attached to the ground, which is built or constructed
by man. A "structure" includes, but is not necessarily
limited to buildings, edifices, signs, fences, fountains,

awnings, canopies and lighting. (Ord. 1617 §1(part), 1986).

created by the city of Campbell an historic preservation
board, hereinafter referred to as the "board". (Ord. 1617
§1 (part) , 1986) .

voting members who shall be residents of the city of Campbell,
or of Campbell's sphere of influence, subject to the follow-
ing conditions:

expertise in historic preservation.
(4) If a member is absent from three consecutive meet-
ings, unless by permission of the board, or ceases to be a
resident of the city, or the city's sphere of influence, the
member's seat shall be considered vacant.
(5) A board member serves at the pleasure of the city
council and may be removed upon a majority vote of the city
council. (Ord. 1617 §1(part), 1986).

city council, shall appoint the first chairman from among
the members, subject to the following conditions:

other feature shall be damaged by fire or other calamity,
the city manager or building official may authorize, prior
to the board's review, the extent or repair necessary to
correct an unsafe condition. (Ord. 1617 §1(part), 1986).

in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the ordinary
maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature
in or on any property covered by this chapter that does
not involve a change in design, material or external appear-
ance thereof, nor does this chapter prevent the construction,
reconstruction, alteration, restoration, demolition or re-
moval of any such feature when the building official certi-
fies to the board that such action is required for the public

an immediate and substantial hardship. If hardship is
found to exist under this section, the board shall make a
written finding to that effect, and shall also specify in
writing the facts relied upon in making such finding. (Ord.

tions or alterations to existing buildings and minor changes
in plans which have previously been approved by the plan-
ning commission. Minor changes are limited to modification
in the plot plan and elevations that will not change the
overall character of the proposed development.
However, if the planning director finds that the pro-
posed development will have a substantial effect on the sur-
rounding area or is of sufficient size to warrant the con-
sideration of the planning commission, he shall refer the
application to the architectural review committee for pro-
cessing in the same manner as all other applications for
architectural and site approval. (Ord. 1617 §1(part), 1986).

shall deny the application. In giving its approval, the
commission may include such conditions as it deems reasonable
and necessary under the circumstances to carry out the in-
tent of this chapter and the General Plan. The commission
may impose time limits within which the conditions must
be fulfilled and the proposed development started or com-
pleted. The site and architectural review permit shall

thereafter be changed to a use of greater intensity.
(c) Whenever a nonconforming use has been abandoned
or discontinued for a continuous period of one year, the
nonconforming use shall not be re-established; and, the use
of the structure and site thereafter shall comply with the

cumstances or conditions applying to the land, building,
or use referred to in the application, which circumstances
or conditions do not apply generally to the land, buildings,
or uses in the same district;
(2) That the granting of the application is necessary
for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
rights of the petitioners;
(3) The granting of a variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property
and improvement in the district in which the property is
located. (Ord. 1617 §1(part), 1986).
21.70.030 Action by planning commission. (a) The

ment of the specified regulation would result in practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent
with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance.
(2) There are exceptional or extraordinary cir-
cumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved
or to the intended use of the property which do not apply
generally to -other properties classified in the same zoning
district.
(3) Strict or literal interpretations and enforce-
ment of the specified regulation would deprive the appli-
cant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties
classified in the same zoning district.
(4) The granting of the variance will not consitute
a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations
on other properties classified in the same zoning district.

21.61.060 Satellite Dish Antennas.
The City Council of the City of Campbell finds that satellite dish
antennas of greater than 3 feet in diameter tend to be highly visible, and
consequently cause visual blight to the detriment of the community's
aesthetics and welfare. This visual blight could be expected to detract
from the overall desireability of real property in the community,
depressing property values and contributing to general deterioration.
Therefore, subject to the exceptions set forth in Subsection C, the City
hereby requires that all satellite dish antennas larger than 3 feet in
diameter established to receive transmissions from satellites shall
conform to the following regulations:
A. Residential Zoning District. Dish antennas to be erected in any
residential zoning district shall conform to the following
regulations:
1. Shall not be visible from a public or private street, unless
adequately screened by landscaping and/or materials that
harmonize with the elements and characteristics of the
property;
2. Shall not be located in any front yard or any yard adjacent
to a public or private street;
3. The maximum height shall be 14 feet;
4. Shall be set back from the property line a distance equal to
the height of the antenna;
5. Shall not be located in parking or driveway areas.
B. All Nonresidential Zoning Districts. Dish antennas to be erected
in any nonresidential zoning district shall conform to the
following regulations:
1. Shall not be located in parking or driveway areas;
2. Shall not be located in any front yard, yard adjacent to any
public or private street, or in any required setback;
3. Shall not be visible from any public or private street
unless adequately screened by landscaping and/or materials
that harmonize with the elements and characteristics of the
property;
4. Shall not be higher than the maximum height allowed by the
district.
C. Exceptions. Notwithstanding Subsections A and B, the users of
the satellite dish antennas shall be granted such deviations from
the regulations of this Section as are necessary to -insure that
such regulations will not:
-6-
1. Operate to prevent, or impose unreasonable limitations on
the reception of satellite delivered signals; or
2. Impose cost on the users of such antennas that are excessive
in light of the purchase and installation cost of the
equipment.
The deviation permitted by this Subsection may not be any greater than
is necessary to achieve the ends of this Subsection.
D. Application for Approval. Prior to installing any dish antenna
regulated by the Section, a site plan and elevations shall be
submitted for approval of the Planning Director, along with
reasons for any requested deviation from the regulation of
Subsection A or B. If no deviation is requested, the Director
shall review the proposed placement for compliance with this
Section and approve, disapprove, or modify, the proposed
placement.
If approved by the Planning Director, a building permit
application shall be submitted as required and a building permit
obtained prior to installation.
The applicant shall have the right to appeal the determination of
the Planning Director to the Planning Commission by submitting a
written request to the Planning Commission within 10 days of the
Director's determination.
E. Referral of Request for Deviation. All requested deviations from
the regulations of Subsections A or B shall be referred to the
Planning Commission.
F. Hearing by the Planning Commission. In the event of an appeal or
referral to the Planning Commission, the applicant shall be
notified at least 10 days prior to the hearing that he has a
right to appear and address the Commission. Such notice shall
specify the date, time and location of the hearing. At the
hearing, the Commission shall review all relevant evidence, and
render a determination as follows:
1. If the Commission finds that all the applicable requirements
of Subsection A and B have been met, it shall approve the
application;
2. If the Commission finds that the requirements of Subsection
A and B have not been fulfilled, and no deviation is
required pursuant to Subsection C, then the Commission
should deny the application;
3. If the Commission finds that deviation is required pursuant
to Subsection C, the Commission shall approve the
application subject to the necessary deviations.
-7-
If the Planning Commission approves the application, the
applicant shall then obtain any building permit that may be
required, prior to installation.
G. Appeal to City Council. Any decision of the Planning Commission
may be appealed to the City Council by submitting a written
request to the City Clerk within 10 days after the determination
of the Planning Commission. The City Council shall then hold a
hearing in the same manner as set for the Commission in
Subsection F.
