Business Hours: 8:00 A.M. through 7:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday.
Number of Employees: 4 (2 licensed chiropractors, 2 unlicensed office staff)
PROJECT SITE
The project site is a is an approximately 36,854 square-foot parcel located on the northeast corner of East Campbell Avenue and Poplar Avenue, within the East Campbell Avenue Master Plan Boundary as seen in the aerial below. The property is developed with a single-story
commercial building, with five (5) tenant spaces that include a retail bakery, two hair salons, a massage therapist office, and a professional office offering counseling services. The project site along with two additional parcels (APNs: 279-46-012 and 279-460-11) with the address listed as 621 East Campbell Avenue, comprise the Greyland’s Professional Office Center, constructed as a Medical Office Park permitted by Site and Architectural Review Permit “S” 64-33.
The Project Site is located within a commercial corridor along a Class II Arterial Street (East Campbell Avenue) which comprises a mix of general commercial uses predominantly occupied by professional offices, but also including restaurants, personal services, retail, and a public park.
As defined by the General Plan, Class II Arterial Streets are generally higher volume streets, that serve through traffic for inter-city and intra-city trips. A mix of low- and high-density residential land uses occur just outside the commercial corridor.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Applicant’s Proposal: The submitted application for a Conditional Use Permit would establish a chiropractic office (“medical services, clinic") within an existing tenant space, within the Greyland’s Professional Office Center.
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 3 of 6 PLN-2023-173 ~ 653 E. Campbell Avenue, Suite 2
The proposed chiropractic office (D.B.A. Campbell Family Chiropractic) would provide chiropractic treatment services to the public by appointment only (reference Attachment C – Project Description). The scope of practice for chiropractic treatment is set forth in the California
Code of Regulations, Title 16, Section 302, which includes all necessary measures incident to the care of the body, including, but not limited to, air, cold, diet, exercise, heat, light, massage, physical culture, rest, ultrasound, water, and physical therapy techniques in the course of chiropractic manipulations and/or adjustments. Due to the nature of the services performed by a licensed medical professional, the use is considered to be
“medical service, clinic.”
The chiropractic office is proposing to locate in an existing tenant space within a commercial building with no proposed exterior or interior alterations to the existing space. The submitted existing floor
plan (reference Attachment B – Project Plans), shows a lobby/reception area, staff lounge, private kitchen, restroom, and two (2) exam rooms. The proposed hours of operation would be 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Staff
recommends hours of operation between 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily with business hours between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. daily.
ANALYSIS
Administrative Procedure: In the CB-MU Zoning District2 Land Use Table for Master Plan Areas, "medical service, clinic" is classified as a Conditional Use. This term is defined in CMC Section 21.72 as follows:
“Medical services, clinics" means facilities primarily engaged in furnishing outpatient medical, mental health, surgical, and other personal health services. These include: medical, dental, and psychiatric offices (counseling services by other than medical doctors or psychiatrists are included under "offices"); outpatient care facilities; emergency room services; and allied health services. Associations or groups primarily engaged in providing medical or other health services to members are included.”
FINDINGS
Findings for Approval: To grant a land use approval, the decision-making body must affirmatively establish that the project meets codified findings for approval. Findings establish the evidentiary basis for a City's decision to grant or deny a land use approval and to impose conditions of approval
2 The zoning rules for the Planned Development (P-D) Zoning District do not specify permitted land uses. Instead, according to CMC Section 21.12.030 (Special purpose district land uses), the allowed uses within the P-D Zoning District are determined by the zoning district that aligns with the property's General Plan land use designation. For the project site, this designation is Central Business Mixed-Use (CB-MU). As outlined in CMC Section 21.04.020 (Zoning districts established), this corresponds to the CB-MU Zoning District. Therefore, the permissible land uses for this project are those listed in Table 2-11 of the CB-MU Zoning District Land Use Table, as referenced in CMC Section 21.11.030 (Mixed-Use land uses).
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 4 of 6 PLN-2023-173 ~ 653 E. Campbell Avenue, Suite 2
as necessary to establish the findings. The applicable findings depend upon the type of land use approval under review. This application requires establishment of findings for a Conditional Use Permit. Pursuant to CMC Section 21.46.040 (Findings and decision), prior to making the findings
for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must first affirmatively establish all six (6) of the findings described in italics below. An explanation of how the project meets each finding is provided.
1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district with Conditional Use Permit approval, and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code
and the Campbell Municipal Code;
Yes. The project proposes to operate a chiropractic office, which constitutes a "medical services, clinic" use per the Campbell Municipal Code and defined above. The “medical services, clinic” use is allowed within the CB-MU Zoning District CMC Section 21.11.060 (Central Business Mixed-Use zoning district) upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
This allows the City to impose operational requirements as conditions of approval to ensure that the implementation does not result in negative impacts to the surrounding areas.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan;
Yes. The General Plan Land Use designation of Central Business Mixed-Use, which
focuses on shopping, service, and entertainment uses in a pedestrian-oriented urban
environment, is suitable for a chiropractic office. This designation encourages commercial uses on the ground floor with residential uses on upper floors. Since a chiropractic office is a service-oriented business, it fits well into the ground floor commercial space in this mixed-use setting. Moreover, the emphasis on pedestrian accessibility in this designation
aligns well with the nature of a chiropractic office, which typically benefits from high
visibility and easy access for clients. The applicant’s proposal may also be found to further the following General Plan policies and strategies:
Policy LU-1.10: Maintain a variety of attractive and convenient commercial and office uses that provide needed goods, services, and entertainment for residents and visitors.
Policy LU-5.2: Maintain East Campbell Avenue as a pedestrian-oriented street.
Policy ED-5.10: Encourage the evolution of retail centers and commercial corridors into viable
activity nodes by supporting integration of uses that provide necessary or useful services or amenities that will benefit nearby residential areas and commercial
establishments. Encourage a variety of uses (such as hotel, office, entertainment, recreational, and residential uses) to locate in shopping districts.
Policy ED-2.5: Encourage retention and expansion of local businesses as appropriate to provide a range of jobs and services to residents, to retain revenue in the city, and respond
to community needs for key amenities and services.
3. The proposed site is adequate in terms of size and shape to accommodate the fences and
walls, landscaping, parking and loading facilities, yards, and other development features
required in order to integrate the use with uses in the surrounding area;
Yes. The project site is an existing property that already is adequate to accommodate fences, walls, landscaping, parking and loading facilities, and yards necessary to
accommodate the proposed medical service, clinic use. No new development features are proposed. The proposed use will not result in any adverse effects to the existing site. All existing elements are in compliance with CMC Chapter 21.18 (Site Development
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 5 of 6 PLN-2023-173 ~ 653 E. Campbell Avenue, Suite 2
Standards) such as fences, walls, and lighting. Maintaining these features as they are ensures continued integration with surrounding development. The parcel is situated within a FEMA-designated special flood hazard area, and meets the requirements set forth in
CMC Chapter 21.22 and Section 21.16.105, as the current application does not propose any development. Specifically, the lack of proposed construction, alterations, or development on the site means it is not subject to the flood damage prevention standards concerning construction, materials, and utilities, as well as the Valley Water Guidelines for land use near streams. This absence of any new construction ensures compliance with these
regulations by default.
The proposal does not include any new equipment, outdoor storage areas, or surface parking areas that would otherwise need to be screened or buffered per CMC 21.18.120 (Screening and Buffering). The site currently provides approximately 111 parking stalls which are shared between the entire Greyland’s Office Center and is not subject to any
parking requirements as the site is within one half miles of public transit, specifically the “Downtown Campbell Station.” As a chiropractic office, this medical use will not utilize single-use medical supplies and therefore will not increase the existing trash demands of the site. The site is currently accessible to patients, including those with disabilities. Existing accessibility features were evaluated to ensure they meet legal requirements and
best serve the needs of the clientele in compliance with CMC Section 21.18.030 (Bicycle and pedestrian access standards). Furthermore, the Building Official has reviewed the plans for accessibility compliance and does not object to the project as conditioned.
4. The proposed site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the use would be expected to generate;
Yes. Allowing a new chiropractic office at the proposed location is not anticipated to result in an appreciable increase in the amount of traffic generated by the business. The tenant space is only approximately 644 square feet with two exam rooms located along a Class II Arterial Street. Given the size and location, the use is considered a “small project” as defined by California SB 743, which provides thresholds for measuring transportation
impacts in California. The City’s Department of Public Works Traffic Engineer does not anticipate the new use to generate more than 110 daily vehicle trips. Therefore, the proposal can be assumed to cause a “less than significant transportation impact,” and does not meet the threshold for further traffic analysis per SB 743.
5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are
compatible with the existing and future land uses on-site and in the vicinity of the subject
property; and
Yes. The proposed chiropractic office will maintain the same design as the previous personal service establishments, with a large, windowed storefront opening directly into the reception area. To maintain a commercial appearance, the project will be conditioned
to ensure the façade windows are not obscured. This is consistent with the East Campbell Master Plan Section V - Design Guidelines, which calls for ground level, corner parcels along East Campbell Avenue to utilize storefront windows to reinforce the pedestrian nature of the street.
Generally, introducing a medical office to a commercial center might reduce foot traffic,
adversely affecting nearby restaurants and retail stores. However, in this case, the previous
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 6 of 6 PLN-2023-173 ~ 653 E. Campbell Avenue, Suite 2
and surrounding businesses are similarly considered personal services and operate by appointment only, indicating no expected change in foot traffic. Additionally, the proposed office doesn't require interior modifications, allowing easy adaptability to other uses
compatible with the CB-MU Zoning District if necessary. The office's design and operations demonstrate its suitability within the existing and envisioned use of the area.
6. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use at the location proposed will not be detrimental to the comfort, health, morals, peace, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use, or be detrimental or
injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of
the city.
Yes. Although the Municipal Code does not provide standard operational requirements for the “medical services, clinic” use, the proposal should not create a nuisance due to “the emissions of dust, fumes, glare, heat, liquids, noise, odor, smoke, steam, vibrations, or
similar disturbances” CMC Section 21.46.040 (Findings and decision). To ensure that reasonable levels of noise are maintained at all times, Staff is recommending that Conditions of Approval be adopted to ensure that noise is reduced to limit any impact on nearby residential uses. Staff is also recommending Conditions of Approval that restrict outdoor activities (e.g., cleaning activities, deliveries, trash removal) to 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.).
Furthermore, due to the location of the site along a Class II Arterial Street (Campbell Avenue) surrounded by a mix of commercial uses, and the nature of the chiropractic office, staff does not anticipate that the business will create a nuisance relative to noise and traffic.
Public Comment: The project was noticed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject
property and publicized in the newspaper (Metro). No public comment was received on this application.

SUITE 2 IN THE P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission did find as follows with regard to application PLN-2023-173:
1. The Project Site is zoned P-D (Planned Development) and designated Central Business
Mixed-Use (26-33 units/gross acre) by the General Plan.
2. The Project Site is an approximately 36,854 square-foot parcel located on the northeast corner of East Campbell Avenue and Poplar Avenue, within the East Campbell Avenue
Master Plan Boundary.
3. The Project Site is currently developed with a 3,433 square-foot single-story commercial building, with five (5) tenant spaces that include a retail bakery, two hair salons, a massage therapist, and a counseling service.
4. The Project Site is located within a commercial corridor along a Class II Arterial Street
(East Campbell Avenue) which comprises a mix of general commercial uses including restaurants, personal services, retail, and a public park. A mix of low- and high-density residential land uses occur just outside the commercial corridor.
5. The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to establish a
chiropractic office (“medical services, clinic") within an existing tenant space, in the
Greyland’s Professional Office Center.
6. Per Campbell Municipal Code Sec 21.12.030 (Special purpose district land uses) the permissible land uses for a parcel in the P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District are determined by the Zoning District that corresponds with the site’s General Plan land use
designation. For the specified project site, this is the Central Business Mixed-Use (CB-
MU) designation. As outlined in CMC Section 21.04.020 (Zoning districts established), this corresponds to the CB-MU Zoning District. Therefore, the permissible land uses for this project are those listed in Table 2-11a (Land Use Table — Master Plan Areas) of the CB-MU Zoning District Land Use Table, as referenced in CMC Section 21.11.030
(Mixed-Use land uses).
7. The proposed use of the Project Site as a “medical services, clinic” use is allowed within the CB-MU Zoning District through the approval of a conditional use permit as described in Campbell Municipal Code Sec. 21.11.060 (Central Business Mixed-Use zoning district.).

"Medical services, clinics" means facilities primarily engaged in furnishing outpatient medical, mental health, surgical, and other personal health services. These include: medical, dental, and psychiatric
offices (counseling services by other than medical doctors or psychiatrists are included under "offices"); outpatient care facilities; emergency room services; and allied health services. Associations
or groups primarily engaged in providing medical or other health services to members are included.
8. The hours of operation would be between 7:00 A.M and 8:00 P.M. with business hours between 8:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. Monday through Saturday for customer serving hours. Customers shall be seen by appointment only.
9. The site currently provides approximately 111 parking stalls which are shared between
the entire Greyland’s Office Center and is not subject to any parking requirements
pursuant to the AB-2097, codified in Government Code § 65863.2, which precludes the City from imposing or enforcing a parking requirement for a development project located within one-half mile of public transit of a major transit stop. The project location is situated within one-half mile of the “Downtown Campbell Station.”
10. Allowing a chiropractic office would satisfy the purpose/intent of the General Commercial
General Plan land use designation which promotes ground floor commercial spaces in pedestrian-friendly urban environments, and aligns with the plan's emphasis on visibility and accessibility. The applicant’s proposal may also be found to further the following General Plan policies and strategies:
Policy LU-1.10: Maintain a variety of attractive and convenient commercial and office uses
that provide needed goods, services, and entertainment for residents and visitors.
Policy LU-5.2: Maintain East Campbell Avenue as a pedestrian-oriented street.
Policy ED-5.10: Encourage the evolution of retail centers and commercial corridors into viable activity nodes by supporting integration of uses that provide necessary or useful services or amenities that will benefit nearby residential areas and
commercial establishments. Encourage a variety of uses (such as hotel, office, entertainment, recreational, and residential uses) to locate in shopping districts.
Policy ED-2.5: Encourage retention and expansion of local businesses as appropriate to provide a range of jobs and services to residents, to retain revenue in the city, and respond to community needs for key amenities and services.
11. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit shall supersede all prior land use entitlements related to the subject tenant space.
12. In review of the proposed project, the Planning Commission also weighed the public
need for, and the benefit to be derived from, the project, against any impacts it may cause.
13. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
Planning Commission Resolution No. Page 3 of 4 653 E. Campbell Avenue Conditional Use Permit (PLN-2023-173)
14. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of Approval and the impacts of the project.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
Conditional Use Permit Findings (CMC Sec. 21.46.040):
1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district with Conditional Use Permit approval, and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Campbell Municipal Code;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Applicant’s Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit to allow the demolition of an existing single-family residence and construction of a new
approximately 3,650 square foot two-story single-family residence.
Project Location: The project site is an approximately 9,095 square foot single-family property located at the northeast corner of Burrows Road and Steinway Avenue. The property is located in
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 3 of 6 PLN-2023-60 ~ 1320 Burrows Road
a residential area comprised of one-story and two-story single-family homes. The project site is located within the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan and is in a R-1-10 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District.
DISCUSSION
Senate Bill 9 (SB-9) requires the ministerial approval of either one or two residential units, which
includes single-family residences. Ministerial review means a process for development approval involving no personal judgment by the public official as to the wisdom of carrying out the project. The public official merely ensures that the proposed development meets all the applicable objective standards for the proposed action but uses no special discretion or judgment in reaching a decision.1
The Site and Architectural Review permit requires review and approval by the Planning
Commission. However, due to the passing of SB-9 and the requirement of ministerial approvals for one or two residential units, the Planning Commission is limited in requesting alterations to the project and cannot deny the project if it complies with the city’s objective requirements. 2
ANALYSIS
General Plan:
The General Plan Land Use designation for the property is Low-Density Residential (<4.5 units to
the gross acre). The General Plan Land Use designation of Low-Density Residential allows for detached single-family homes. The project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation as it is a detached single-family home.
1 This is contained in in SB-9 Fact Sheet authored by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. 2 Staff will be aligning the state’s requirement of a ministerial single-family process with the Campbell Municipal Code in a future municipal code update. This has been identified on the City Council adopted workplan.
Project Site
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 4 of 6 PLN-2023-60 ~ 1320 Burrows Road
Zoning Code:
The project site has a zoning designation of R-1-10 Single-Family Residential. The R-1 zoning district is generally reserved for low-density and detached residential development.
Administrative Procedure: A Site and Architectural Review Permit pursuant to the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP). STANP requires a site and architectural approval by the Planning
Commission for the construction of a building or structure on an undeveloped lot. Pursuant to
Official Director Interpretation No. 4, if a project involves the removal of an existing structure in order to construct a new structure, the property is to be viewed as undeveloped. As the project includes full demolition of an existing single-family residence and the construction of a new single-family residence, the property is considered to be undeveloped. Therefore, the project requires a
Site and Architectural Review Permit.
Setbacks: As noted in the Project Data table above, the required front setback is 25-feet, the required side setback on one of the sides is the greater of 10-feet or 60% of the height of the building wall adjacent to the property line, and the side setback on the other side is the greater of 8-feet or 60% of the height of the building wall adjacent to the property line. The project is required to provide a 10-
foot and 8-foot side setback. The required rear setback is 25-feet.
The applicant is complying with all required setback requirements as noted in the Project Data table above.
Height: The maximum height is 28-feet and shall not exceed 2 ½ stories. The project is proposing a building height of 25-feet, 10 ½ inches and is proposing a 2-story single-family residence.
Therefore, the project complies with the maximum height requirement.
Parking: The proposed project provides two covered parking spaces in the attached garage. The parking requirement for a single-family dwelling is two parking spaces, and one of which must be covered. As the project is providing two covered parking spaces in the attached garage, the project complies with the parking requirement.
Floor Area Ratio and Lot Coverage: The maximum allowed floor area ratio is 0.45 and the maximum
allowed lot coverage is 35%. The project proposes a floor area ratio of 0.40 and lot coverage of 35%. Therefore, the project complies with the floor area ratio and lot coverage requirements.
San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP) Design Criteria: The San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan contains design criteria which speak to compatibility, scale and mass, building orientation, and
privacy impacts. Per the STANP, the design criteria should be used to evaluate new developments
within the San Tomas Area.
However, as mentioned in the Discussion section, SB-9 requires ministerial approval of single-family residences, and the Planning Commission review can only be used to ensure the proposed development meets all applicable objective standards. The design criteria are subjective, and
therefore, cannot be used in reaching a decision. The Planning Commission is limited in requesting alterations to the project and cannot deny a project if it complies with the city’s objective requirements.
Although the design criteria in STANP are written subjectively, the proposed project does comply with the design criteria and the applicant has made a good faith effort in addressing privacy impacts
to neighboring properties. An evaluation of the design criteria can be found in Attachment C – SARC Memorandum.
Staff Report ~ Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 5 of 6 PLN-2023-60 ~ 1320 Burrows Road
Considerations in Review of Applications: In review of a Site and Architectural Review Permit, the Zoning Code (CMC Sec. 21.42.040) directs the Planning Commission to consider certain design and layout aspects of the proposal prior to rendering a decision, referenced to as “considerations”. These “considerations” are related to the following: traffic safety, congestion, site circulation, landscaping, structures, and site layout. As these “considerations” are subjective, they cannot be
used in reaching a decision.
Findings for Approval
Site and Architectural Review Findings (Section 21.42.060 of CMC): The property is located within the R-1-10 Zoning District. The Planning Commission may approve the proposed two-story single-family residence after making all four (4) of the required findings described in italics below. An
explanation of how the project does or does not meet each finding follows in plain text below.
1. The project will be consistent with the General Plan;
Yes. The project complies with the General Plan and the General Plan land use designation of Low-Density Residential (<4.5 units per gross acre). Based on a 9,095 lot size, a maximum of one dwelling unit is allowed on the property and the project proposes
one dwelling unit. Therefore, the project complies with the General Plan land use designation of Low-Density Residential.
2. The project conforms with the Zoning Code;
Yes. As described in the Zoning Code section above, the project complies with the setbacks, height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, and parking requirements of the Zoning
Code. The project is also providing front yard landscaping, thus complying with the landscape provisions in Section 21.26.030 of the CMC.
3. The project will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area; and;
Not Applicable. Pursuant to SB-9, the decision maker can only ensure objective standards are met. This finding is subjective and therefore cannot be used as a basis for
a decision.
4. The project is consistent with the applicable adopted design guidelines, development
agreement, overlay district, area plan, neighborhood plan, and specific plan(s).
Yes. The project is consistent with the objective standards contained within the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan, including setbacks, maximum height, floor area ratio,
and lot coverage requirements.
Site and Architectural Review Committee (SARC): The project was presented at the Site and Architectural Review Committee on November 14, 2023. The Committee members discussed the objective standards requirement as it relates to the privacy concern raised by a member of the public. The Committee members also discussed the applicant’s good faith effort in addressing those privacy
concerns.
Public Outreach: The project was noticed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property and publicized in the newspaper (Metro). Staff received one public inquiry regarding the project. The phone call was related to privacy impacts to a neighboring property, particularly the second story windows along the northern property line. The applicant has revised the proposal by
removing the closet window, incorporating a frosted glass bottom window pane for the bedroom windows, and proposing smaller windows for the bathrooms.

CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW PERMIT (PLN-2023-60) TO ALLOW THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW APPROXIMATELY 3,650 SQUARE FOOT TWO-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1320
BURROWS ROAD.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to file number PLN-2023-60:
1. The project site is zoned R-1-10 (Single Family Residential) on the City of Campbell Zoning Map.
2. The project site is designated Low Density Residential (<4.5 units/gr. acre) on the
City of Campbell General Plan Land Use diagram. 3. The project site is an approximately 9,095 square foot single-family property parcel located at the northeast corner of Burrows Road and Steinway Avenue.
4. The project includes the full demolition of an existing single-story single-family residence, approximately 1,621 square feet (inclusive of an approximately 320 square foot garage).
5. The proposed project consists of the construction of an approximately 3,650 square
foot two-story single-family residence. There are no protected trees proposed for
removal.
6. The project site is located in the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP), and therefore, is subject to the regulations contained therein, including the maximum building height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, and setbacks. The project site
complies with these development standards.
7. The proposed project will result in a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.40 (a maximum of 0.45 FAR is allowed), and a lot coverage of 35% (a maximum of 35% is allowed). Therefore, the project complies with the FAR and lot coverage requirements.
8. The proposed project proposes a building height of approximately 25’-10 ½” (a
maximum of 28’ and 2 ½ stories is allowed), a front setback of 28’-5 ¾” (25’ is
required), a side setback of 12-feet and 8-feet (when 10-feet and 8-feet are required), and a rear setback of 27-feet, 3 ¾ inches (where 25-feet is required).
9. The proposed project will provide two covered parking spaces in an attached garage, satisfying the applicable parking requirement.

10. Senate Bill 9 (SB-9; Government code § 65852.21) requires the ministerial approval of either one or two residential units, which includes single-family residences.
Ministerial review means a process for development approval involving no personal
judgment by the public official as to the wisdom of carrying out the project. The public official merely ensures that the proposed development meets all the applicable objective standards for the proposed action but uses no special discretion or judgment in reaching a decision.
11. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as
currently presented and subject to the required Conditions of Approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and in consideration of the entire administrative record (including the staff report) and current state law (Government
code § 65852.21; requiring the decision-maker to ensure the proposed development
meets all applicable objective standards and uses no special discretion or judgement in reaching a decision) the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
1. The project will be consistent with the General Plan;
2. The project conforms with the Zoning Code;
3. The project will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area;
4. The project is consistent with the applicable adopted design guidelines, development agreement, overlay district, area plan, neighborhood plan, and specific plan(s);
5. The perceived scale and mass of the home is compatible with the adjacent homes and the homes in the surrounding area.
6. The home minimizes the use of design features that make it appear significantly
larger than the adjacent homes and the homes in the surrounding area.

FRESH CONCRETE AND MORTAR APPLICATIONBEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FORMasons and bricklayersSidewalk construction crewsPatio construction workersConstruction inspectorsGeneral contractorsHome buildersDevelopersGENERAL BUSINESS PRACTICESBoth at your yard and the construction site, always store both dry and wet materials under cover, protected from rainfall and runoff. Protect dry materials from wind.Secure bags of cement after they are open. Be sure to keep wind- blown cement powder away from gutters, storm drains, rainfall, and runoff.Wash out concrete mixers only in designated wash-out areas in your yard, where the water will flow into containment ponds or onto dirt. Whenever possible, recycle washout by pumping back into mixers for reuse. Never dispose of washout into the street, storm drains, drainage ditches, or streams.DURING CONSTRUCTIONDon't mix up more fresh concrete or cement than you will use in a day.Set up and operate small mixers on tarps or heavy plastic drop cloths.When cleaning up after driveway or sidewalk construction, wash fines onto dirt areas, not down the driveway or into the street or storm drain.Place hay bales or other erosion controls down-slope to capture runoff carrying mortar or cement before it reaches the storm drain.When breaking up paving, be sure to pick up all the pieces and dispose properly.Recycle large chunks of broken concrete at a landfill.Dispose of small amounts of excess dry concrete, grout, and mortar in the trash.Never bury waste material.STORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROM MASONRYAND PAVINGFresh concrete and cement- related mortars that wash into lakes, streams, or estuaries are toxic to fish and the aquatic environment. Disposing of these materials to the strom drains or creeks causes serious problems and is prohibited by law.BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE:LandscapersGardenersGeneral contractorsSwimming pool/spa service and repair workersHome buildersDevelopersLANDSCAPING, GARDENING, AND POOL MAINTENANCEGENERAL BUSINESS PRACTICESProtect stockpiles and landscaping materials from wind and rain by storing them under tarps or secured plastic sheeting.Store pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals indoors or in a shed or storage cabinet.Schedule grading and excavation projects for dry weather.Use temporary check dams or ditches to divert runoff away from storm drains.Protect storm drains with hay bales or other erosion controls.Revegetation is an excellent form of erosion control for any site.POOL/FOUNTAIN/SPA MAINTENANCENever discharge pool or spa water to a street or storm drain.ORWhen emptying a pool or spa, let chlorine dissipate for a few days, and then recycle/reuse water by draining it gradually onto a landscaped area.Contact the local sewage treatment authority. You may be able to discharge to the sanitary sewer by running a hose to a utility sink or sewer pipe cleanout junction.Do not use copper-based algaecides unless absolutely necessary. Control algae with chlorine or other alternatives to copper-based pool chemicals. Copper is a powerful herbicide. Sewage treatment technology cannot remove all of the metals that enter a treatment plant.LANDSCAPING/GARDEN MAINTENANCEUse up pesticides. Rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of rinsed containers in the trash.Dispose of unused pesticide as hazardous waste.Collect lawn and garden clippings, pruning waste, and tree trimmings. Chip if necessary, and compost.In communities with curbside yard waste recycling, leave clippings and pruning waste for pickup in approved bags or containers. Or, take to a landfill that composts yard waste.Do not place yard waste in gutters.Do not blow or rake leaves, etc. into the street.STORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROM LANDSCAPINGAND SWIMMING POOL MAINTENANCEMany landscaping activities decompose soils and increase the likelihood that earth and garden chemicals will runoff into the storm drains during irrigation or when it rains. Swimming pool water containing chlorine and copper-based algaecides should never be discharged to storm drains. These chemicals are toxic to aquatic life.BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE:Vehicle and equipment operatorsSite supervisorsHome buildersGeneral contractorsDevelopersSITE PLANNING AND PREVENTIVE VEHICLEMAINTENANCEDesignate one area of the construction site, well away from streams or storm drain inlets, for auto and equipment parking, refueling, and routine vehicle and equipment maintenance.Maintain all vehicles and heavy equipment. Inspect frequently for leaks.Perform major maintenance, repair jobs, vehicle and equipment washing off site.If you must drain and replace motor oil, radiator coolant, or other fluids on site, use drip pans or drop cloths to catch drips and spills. Collect all spent fluids, store in separate containers, and recycle whenever possible.Do not use diesel oil to lubricate equipment or parts.Clean up spills immediately when they happen.HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATIONNever hose down dirty pavement or impermeable surfaces where fluids have spilled. Use dry cleanup method (absorbent materials, cat litter, and/or rags) whenever possible. If you must use water, use just enough to keep the dust down.Sweep up spilled dry materials immediately. Never attempt to wash them away with water or bury them. Use as little water as possible for dust control.Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and properly disposing of contaminated soil.Report significant spills to the appropriate spill response agencies immediately.STORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROM HEAVYEQUIPMENT ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITEPoorly maintained vehicles and heavy equipment leaking fuel, oil, antifreeze or other fluids on the construction site are common sources of storm water pollution. Prevent spills and leaks by isolating equipment from runoff channels, and by watching for leaks and other maintenance problems. Remove construction equipment from the site as soon as possible.PAINTING AND APPLICATION OF SOLVENTSAND ADHESIVESBEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE:PaintersPaperhangersGraphic artistsPlasterersHome buildersGeneral contractorsFloor covering installersDry wall crewsDevelopersKeep all liquid paint products and wastes away from the gutter, street, and storm drains. Liquid residues from paints, thinners, solvents, glues and cleaning fluids are hazardous wastes. When they are thoroughly dry, empty paint cans, spent brushes, rags, and drop cloths may be disposed of as trash.PAINT REMOVALChemical paint stripping residue is a hazardous waste.Paint chips and dust from non- hazardous dry stripping and sand blasting may be swept up and disposed as trash.When stripping or cleaning building exteriors with high- pressure water, block storm drains. Wash water onto a dirt area and spade into soil. Or, check with the local wastewater treatment authority to find out if you can collect (mop or vacum) building cleaning water and dispose to the sanitary sewer.PAINTING CLEANUPNever clean brushes or rinse paint containers into a street, gutter, storm drain, or stream.For water based paints, paint out brushes to the extent possible, and rinse to the sanitary sewer.For oil based paints, paint out brushes to the extent possible, filter and reuse thinners and solvents. Dispose of excess liquids and residue as hazardous waste.WHAT CAN YOU DO?Recycle/reuse leftover paints whenever possible.Recycle excess water-based paint, or use up. Dispose of excess liquid, including sludges, as hazardous waste.Reuse leftover oil-based paint. Dispose of excess liquid, including sludges, as hazardous waste.STORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROM PAINTS,SOLVENTS, AND ADHESIVESAll paints, solvents, and adhesives contain chemicals that are harmful to the wildlife in our creeks and Bay. Toxic chemicals may come from liquid or solid products or from cleaning residues or rags. It is especially important not to clean brushes in an area where paint residue can flow to a gutter, street, or storm drain.Blueprint for a Clean BayBEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.SANTA CLARA VALLEY NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION CONTROL PROGRAMEARTH MOVING ACTIVITIESRemove existing vegetation only when absolutely necessary.Schedule excavation and grading work for dry weather.When refueling or vehicle/equipment maintenance must be done on site, designate a location away from storm drains.Consider planting temporary vegetation for erosion control on slopes or where construction is not immediately planned.Protect downslope drainage courses, streams, and storm drains with hay bales or temporary drainage swales.GENERAL BUSINESS PRACTICESDURING CONSTRUCTIONBulldozers, backhoe, and grading machine operatorsDump truck driversSite supervisorsGeneral contractorsHome buildersDevelopersBEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE:Use check dams or ditches to divert runoff around excavations.Cover stockpiles and excavated soil with secured tarps or plastic sheeting.Perform major equipment repairs away from the job site.Do not use diesel oil to lubricate equipment or parts.DETECTING CONTAMINATED SOIL ORGROUNDWATERAs you know, contaminated groundwater is a common problem in the Santa Clara Valley. It is essential that all contractors and subcontractors involved in excavation and grading know what to look for in detecting contaminated soil or groundwater, and test ponded groundwater before pumping. See Blueprint for a Clean Bay, a construction best management practices guide available from the Santa Clara Valley Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program, for details.WATCH FOR ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS:Unusual soil conditions, discoloration, or odorAbandoned underground tanksAbandoned wellsBuried barrels, debris, or trashSTORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROM EARTH-MOVING ACTIVITIESSoil excavation and grading operations loosen large amounts of soil that can flow or blow into storm drains if handled improperly. Soil erodes due to a combination of decreased soil stability, increased runoff, and increased flow velocity. Some of the most effective erosion control practices reduce the amount of runoff crossing a site and slow the flow with check dams or roughened ground surfaces.ROADWORK AND PAVINGBEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE:Road Crews Driveway/sidewalk/parking lot construction crews Seal coat contractors Operators of: grading equipment paving machines dump trucks concrete mixers Construction inspectors General contractors DevelopersWHAT CAN YOU DO?GENERAL BUSINESS PRACTICESDevelop and implement erosion/sediment control plans for embankments.Schedule excavation and grading work for dry weather.Check for and repair leaking equipment.Perform major equipment repairs in designated areas at your yard, away from the construction site.When refueling or vehicle/equipment maintenance must be done on site, designate a location away from storm drains and creeks.Do not use diesel oil to lubricate equipment or parts.Recycle used oil, concrete, broken asphalt, etc. whenever possible.DURING CONSTRUCTIONAvoid paving and seal coating in wet weather, or when rain is forecast before fresh pavement will have time to cure.Cover and seal catch basins and manholes when applying seal coat, slurry seal, fog seal, etc.Use check dams, ditches, or berms to divert runoff around excavations.Never wash excess material from exposed aggregate concrete or similar treatments into a street or storm drain. Collect and recycle, or dispose to dirt area.Cover stockpiles (asphalt, sand, etc.) and other materials with plastic tarps. Protect from rainfall and prevent runoff with temporary roofs or plastic sheets and berms.Catch drips from paver with drip pans or absorbent material (cloth, rags, etc.) placed under machine when not in use.Clean up all spills and leaks using "dry" methods (with absorbent materials and/or rags), or dig up and remove contaminated soil.Collect and recycle or appropriately dispose of excess abrasive gravel or sand.Avoid over application by water trucks for dust control.ASPHALT/CONCRETE REMOVALAvoid creating excess dust when breaking asphalt or concrete.After breaking old pavement, be sure to remove all chunks and pieces.Make sure broken pavement does not come in contact with rainfall or runoff.Shovel or vacuum saw-cut slurry and remove from the site. Cover or barricade storm drain during saw- cutting if necessary.Never hose down streets to clean up tracked dirt.STORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROM ROADWORKRoad paving, surfacing, and pavement removal happen right in the street, where there are numerous opportunities for storm drain contamination by asphalt, saw-cut slurry, or excavated material. Extra planning is required to store and dispose of materials properly and guard against pollution of storm drains and creeks.GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND SITE SUPERVISIONBEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR THE:Construction industryWHAT CAN YOU DO?Designate one area of the site for auto parking, vehicle refueling, and routine equipment maintenance. The designated area should be well away from streams or storm drain inlets, and bermed if necessary. Make major repairs off site.Keep materials out of the rain- prevent runoff contamination at the source. Cover exposed piles of soil of construction materials with plastic sheeting or temporary roofs. Before it rains, sweep and remove materials from surfaces that drain to storm drains, creeks, or channels.Keep pollutants off exposed surfaces. Place trash cans and recycling receptacles around the site to minimize litter.Clean up leaks, drips, and other spills immediately so they do not contaminate soil or groundwater or leave residue on paved surfaces.Never hose down "dirty" pavement or surfaces where materials have spilled. Use dry cleanup methods whenever possible. If you must use water, use just enough to keep the dust down.Cover and maintain dumpsters. Check frequently for leaks. Place dumpsters under roofs or cover with tarps or plastic sheeting secured around the outside of the dumpster. Never clean a dumpster by hosing it down on the construction site.Make sure portable toilets are in good working order. Check frequently for leaks.MATERIALS/WASTE/HANDLINGPractice Source Reduction- minimize waste when you order materials. Order only the amount you need to finish the job.Use recyclable materials whenever possible.Dispose of all wastes properly. Many construction materials and wastes, including solvents, water- based paints, vehicle fluids, broken asphalt and concrete, wood, and cleared vegetation can be recycled. (See the references list of recyclers at the back of Blueprint for a Clean Bay). Materials that cannot be recycled must be taken to an appropriate landfill or disposed of as hazardous waste. Never bury waste materials or leave them in the street or near a creek or stream bed.STORM DRAIN POLLUTION FROMCONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIESConstruction sites are common sources of storm water pollution. Materials and wastes that blow or wash into a storm drain, gutter or street have a direct impact on local creeks and the Bay. As a contractor, site supervisor, owner or operator of a site, you may be responsible for any environmental damage caused by your subcontractors or employees.BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTIONIn the Santa Clara Valley, storm drains flow directly to local creeks and San Francisco Bay, with no treatment. Storm water pollution is a serious problem for wildlife dependent on our waterways and for the people who live near polluted streams or baylands. Some common sources of this pollution include spilled oil, fuel, and fluids from vehicles and heavy equipment; construction debris; landscaping runoff containing pesticides or weed killers; and materials such as used motor oil, antifreeze, and paint products that people pour or spill into a street or storm drain. Thirteen valley cities have joined together with Santa Clara County and the Santa Clara Valley Water District to educate local residents and businesses and fight storm drain pollution. Note: The property owner and the contractor share ultimate responsibility for the activities that occure on a construction site. Owner and contractor may be held responsible for any environmental damage caused by the subcontractors or employees.Spill Response Agencies 1. Dial 911 2.

To: Site and Architectural Review Committee Date: November 14, 2023
From: Tracy Tam, Associate Planner
Via: Rob Eastwood, Community Development Director
Subject: Site and Architectural Review Permit
File No.: PLN-2023-60 ~ 1320 Burrows Road
PROPOSAL
The applicant is seeking approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit to allow the construction of an approximately 3,650 square-foot two-story single-family residence (reference Attachment 1 – Project Plans).
PROJECT SITE
The project site is a 9,095 square-foot property located within the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan at the northeast corner of Burrows Road and Steinway Avenue in the R-1-10 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning
District.
BACKGROUND
The project requires a Site and Architectural Review Permit pursuant to the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP). STANP requires a site and architectural approval by the Planning Commission for the
construction of a building or structure on an undeveloped lot. Pursuant to Official Director Interpretation No. 4, if a project involves the removal of an existing structure in order to construct a new structure, the property is to be viewed as undeveloped. As the project includes full demolition of an existing single-family residence and the construction of a new single-family residence, the property is considered to be undeveloped. Therefore, the project requires a Site and Architectural Review Permit. Pursuant to CMC Section 21.54.050, the Site and
Architectural Review Committee's (SARC) purview is to review the project's architectural design and site configuration, upon which a recommendation may be made to the Planning Commission.
Review of the Site and Architectural Review Permit application is governed by the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan. The Neighborhood Plan provides development standards (e.g., height, setback, lot coverage, etc.) as well as design guidelines in terms of design compatibility, scale and mass, surface
articulation, building orientation, and privacy. The guidelines are not meant to prescribe any particular style, but rather provide an overall framework for evaluating the design of new residences.

DISCUSSION
Within the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP), there are design criteria that residential properties must follow. These design criteria include regulations related to compatibility, scale and mass, building orientation, and privacy impacts. The project is not subject to the Housing Accountability Act (HAA) as the HAA defines a Housing Development Project as involving 2 or more residential units, mixed-use projects with at least 2/3 of the square footage designated for residential use, or transitional/supportive housing. Projects
subject to the HAA are subject to objective General Plan and zoning standards. While the project is not subject to the HAA, Senate Bill 9 (SB-9) requires the ministerial approval of either one or two residential units, which includes single-family residences. Ministerial review means a process for development approval involving no personal judgment by the public official as to the wisdom of carrying out the project. The public official merely ensures that the proposed development meets all the applicable objective standards for the proposed action but
uses no special discretion or judgment in reaching a decision.1
The Site and Architectural Review permit requires review and approval by the Planning Commission. However, due to the passing of SB-9 and the requirement of ministerial approvals for one or two residential units, the Planning Commission is limited in requesting alterations to the project and cannot deny the project if it complies with the city’s objective requirements. 2
Although the design criteria in STANP are written subjectively, the proposed project does comply with the design criteria and the applicant has made a good faith effort in addressing privacy impacts to neighboring properties.
Compatibility: STANP does not prescribe a specific architectural style, and it suggests that new homes should incorporate representative architectural features of the homes within STANP as it relates to the shape, form,
roof pitch, and materials to be compatible with the area.
1 This is contained in in SB-9 Fact Sheet authored by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. 2 Staff will be aligning the state’s requirement of a ministerial single-family process with the Campbell Municipal Code in a future municipal code update. This has been identified on the City Council adopted workplan.
The proposed two-story single-family house incorporates a traditional roof pitch and exterior materials found within the neighborhood. The proposed architecture is traditional style architecture, incorporating traditional
forms and building massing. The proposed exterior materials are stucco, board and batten, stone veneer, and an
asphalt shingle roof.
Scale and mass: STANP suggests the scale and mass of new homes should be compatible with homes within the surrounding area and incorporating vertical design elements which accentuates the height of the house should be avoided.
The proposed single-family residence incorporates a second story, however, the second story is set back from
the first floor. The second floor setback from the first floor ranges from 2-feet to 25-feet. The second floor square footage is approximately 976 square feet, which is significantly reduced from the first floor square footage (approximately 2,223 square feet). Furthermore, the second floor placement is concentrated towards the center of the house which reduces the massing of the second floor.
The proposed single-family residence does not incorporate two-story design elements (such as a turret or other similar features) but instead contains an overall building massing that creates a horizontal design emphasis by
utilizing the first floor roof to create a horizontal massing break.
Surface articulation: STANP suggests the design of homes should avoid unarticulated wall and roof planes,
especially on two-story elevations. It also suggests the use of different texture materials to create additional
building articulation.
The proposed single-family residence incorporates building insets and projections on every façade, as well as incorporation of different exterior materials with varying texture. A stone veneer is incorporated at the building base, to provide a solid/heavy grounding material. A board and batten vertical siding material is incorporated on
the second floor facades along the Burrow Road and Steinway Avenue facades.
Privacy impacts: The privacy impact provision in STANP contains design guidance related to the number, placement, and size of second story windows. To minimize privacy impacts, STANP suggests using smaller
windows and placing window sills as high up as possible while still conforming to building code requirements.
There are six windows located on the second story which face an existing two-story single-family residence and the associated balcony to the north. These second story windows are located approximately 13 to 18 feet from the side property line. These six windows serve two bathrooms and two bedrooms. The bathroom windows incorporate higher window sills to allow for natural light within the bathroom, but also provide the privacy
needed between the bathroom and the existing two-story residence to the north. The bedroom windows are
more narrow in size, but do not incorporate higher window sills. All of these six windows incorporate a frosted bottom pane window to assist with privacy impacts.
An aspect for the Site and Architectural Review Committee to consider are the second story windows proposed on
the side elevation, shown above. The applicant has revised the proposal to remove the window in the laundry
room (shown as a bubble above), and to incorporate a frosted bottom pane in all the six windows. However, the Site and Architectural Review Committee should consider if these measures are sufficient.
Landscaping/Hardscaping: The project is required to satisfy the requirements of CMC Section 21.26.030
(General landscaping requirements for all zoning districts) and the minimum tree requirement per STANP.
CMC Section 21.26.030 generally requires the front yard area to be landscaped and a mixture of types of
planting (e.g., shrubs, ground cover, trees) to be incorporated. STANP requires 1 tree per 2,000 square feet of
lot area. The project proposes approximately 2,347 square feet of new landscaping but plans to retain the existing oak tree and Japanese maple tree facing Burrows Road and the existing concrete facing Steinway
Avenue. The proposed landscaping is a mixture of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. There are no protected trees
proposed for removal, and the project site incorporates 5 trees on the property, thereby satisfying the minimum number of trees required by STANP.
PUBLIC FEEDBACK
Staff received one public inquiry regarding the project. The phone call was related to privacy impacts to a
neighboring property, particularly the second story windows along the northern property line. The applicant has revised the proposal by removing the closet window, incorporating a frosted glass bottom window pane for the bedroom windows, and proposing smaller windows for the bathrooms.
OPTIONS
The SARC should discuss the proposed project's design compatibility, scale and mass, building articulation, privacy impacts, and landscaping. If the SARC believes that the project warrants changes, the applicant may be asked to revise the design for review by the Planning Commission.

Patel, S.
Public Hearing to consider the request of Sachneel Patel on behalf of 44 Sunnyside LLC to allow construction of a 6-lot detached single-family
residential subdivision, and related removal of on-site "protected" trees,
on property located at 44 and 56 Sunnyside Avenue. The applications under consideration include a Planned Development Permit, Tentative Subdivision Map, and Tree Removal Permit, submitted under an SB-330 preliminary application filed in compliance with Government Code § 65941.1. File No.: PLN-2023-135.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission take the following action:
1.Adopt a Resolution (reference Attachment A), recommending that the City Council approve a
Planned Development Permit, Tentative Subdivision Map, and Tree Removal Permit to allow
construction of a 6-lot detached single-family residential subdivision and removal of on-site trees.
ENVIRONMENTAL (CEQA) DETERMINATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that it accept a determination that this project is Categorically Exempt from environmental review under Section 15332
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to In-Fill Development Projects which are found consistent with all applicable general plan policies and zoning regulations, are under five acres in size, and substantially surrounded by urban uses. This recommendation includes an acknowledgement that the project site does not contain an "historical resource" as determined by Section 15300.2(f) of the CEQA Guidelines, discussed further below.
The project site includes a single-family residence, located on the 44 Sunnyside Avenue parcel, that was constructed circa 1900. Due to the age of this structure and its placement on the City's list of potentially historic properties, demolition of the building could be considered a "significant impact" under the CEQA. To address this possibility, the applicant procured a historical assessment prepared
by a professional historical consultant (reference Attachment B). These materials were peer-reviewed by the City’s Historical Architectural Advisor, who concurred with the determination that the property does not meet any of the minimum threshold eligibility requirements needed to be listed on the California Register of Historic Resources or as a local historic resource by the City as either a Structure of Merit or a Landmark property (reference Attachment C – Peer Review Memo). As such, its
demolition would not constitute a "significant impact" under CEQA. The project, therefore, remains
eligible for an infill exemption.

DISCUSSION
Project Site: The project site is an approximately 17,418 square-foot assemblage of two residential
properties located along Sunnyside Avenue, east of Winchester Boulevard. The site is currently developed with two single-family residences that would be demolished with the project. Detached
single-family homes border the site to the east and south, and a restaurant is located to the west:

Staff Report – Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 3 of 8 PLN-2023-135 ~ 44-56 Sunnyside Avenue
Proposed Project: The proposed project is an application for a Planned Development Permit to allow construction of six "small-lot single-family" residential homes with an option for integrated accessory
dwelling units (ADUs), a Tentative Subdivision Map to allow a new residential subdivision inclusive of six private lots and one common lot, and a Tree Removal Permit to allow removal of two "protected" White Mulberry trees (reference Attachment D – Project Plans).
Scope of Review: As a 100% residential project with six units, the planned development subdivision
constitutes a "housing development project" under State law, which limits the City's review pursuant to the Housing Crisis Act and the Housing Accountability Act:
n Housing Crisis Act: Originally adopted as SB-330 in 2019 and amended by SB-8 in 2021, the Housing Crisis Act is a broad law that contains various components, among which is a vesting pre-
application process. This particular provision, in association with related changes to the Permit Streamlining Act, allows a developer to submit preliminary plans to the City that vest ("lock-in") zoning code standards, General Plan policies, and building/fire codes that are in effect at the time of submittal. This project is governed by a preliminary application submitted on March 3, 2023,
which predates the June 2, 2023, implementation date of the new General Plan, revised Zoning
Code, and Multi-Family Development and Design Standards (MFDDS). As such, it must be considered under the prior General Plan and Zoning Code, and without review under the MFDDS.3 The Planning Commission reviewed the pre-application materials in a study session held on April 25, 2023 (reference Attachment E – Meeting Minutes).
In addition to the preliminary application protections, the Housing Crisis Act also includes provisions pertaining to the demolition of existing housing units. Specifically, new housing projects must "include at least as many residential dwelling units" as are being demolished (e.g., a fourplex cannot be demolished to construct two single-family homes). Additionally, any "protected units"—
housing currently, or in the past five years, occupied by a lower-income household—proposed to
be demolished must be replaced in-kind with new deed-restricted affordable units. In compliance with this requirements, the application materials included a signed City certification form affirming under penalty of perjury that neither of the existing residences qualify as a "protected unit".
n Housing Accountability Act: The Housing Accountability Act (HAA) limits the City's ability to
"deny, reduce the density for, or render infeasible" the project unless: 1) the proposal is found to be in violation of an objective general plan/zoning standard (other than those waived/reduced through use of the Density Bonus law); or 2) the project will result in a specific adverse impact to public health and safety. While changes to the project may be applied by the decision-making body
to further applicable goals, policies, and strategies – any changes not based on objective standards
may not make the project infeasible or reduce the number of units. For example, the decision-making body may not deny a project because of its proposed paint color, but still retains the authority to condition such a change, provided the change is rooted in a finding or a policy. Additionally, as noted, the project site is zoned P-D (Planned Development), which has no
development standards, such as setbacks, floor area ratio, lot coverage, etc. In the past, the City relied on the discretionary review process to determine the appropriateness of such standards on a case-by-case basis, which is no longer permissible under the HAA. As such, the ability to deny or modify the project for non-compliance with objective standards is limited.
3 The development of this property today would also allow for six dwelling units. However, under the MFDDS, the project would have taken the form of an apartment building ("multiplex small") or townhomes.
Staff Report – Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 4 of 8 PLN-2023-135 ~ 44-56 Sunnyside Avenue
ANALYSIS
Consideration in Review of Applications: In review of a Planned Development Permit, the Zoning
Code (former CMC Sec. 21.12.030.H.5) directs the decision-making body to consider certain design and layout aspects of the proposal prior to rendering a decision, referenced to as "considerations". The
following identifies these considerations and application consistency.
A. Considerations relating to structure and site layout: The site plan, below, depicts a private
roadway/drive-aisle connecting from Sunnyside Avenue into the development, which would
provide vehicular access to each unit's garage. The roadway is 27-feet wide, exceeding the minimum 26-foot dimensions for County Fire District emergency vehicle aerial access, as well as for garbage trucks. There is no proposed pedestrian access (i.e., sidewalks) through the community.
B. Considerations relating to site circulation, traffic congestion, and traffic safety:
The proposed project will not have a discernible impact upon traffic congestion given that it
would result in a net increase of only four units. For the same reason, the project also does not present any potential circulation or traffic safety concerns. With respect to parking, the site is within the AB-2097 area exempting it from the City's parking requirements. However, each unit will be provided with a 2-car garage, for a total of 12 stalls. The City's parking requirement
for a "small-lot single- family" project would have otherwise required 3 spaces per unit (2 ½
spaces + ½ space guest), for a total of 18 stalls.
Staff Report – Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 5 of 8 PLN-2023-135 ~ 44-56 Sunnyside Avenue
C. Considerations relating to landscaping: The P-D Zoning District did not have a landscaping requirement, as this was an element of project review that would typically have been evaluated
on a case-case basis. However, the project will include landscaping treatment of the front and
rear yards of the project.
Design Guidelines: The former Zoning Code also directed the decision-making body to "take into consideration any relevant design guidelines that have been adopted by the City" (former CMC Sec.
21.12.030.E). However, no design standards are applicable to the project. Nonetheless, the proposed
homes are shown in a contemporary aesthetic, with a mixture of vertical and horizontal siding, predominantly in a light grey tone, accented with darker grey and black trim. The buildings exhibit sharp lines, and a combination of gabled, hipped, and shed roof forms. The roof is finished with dark composite shingles, complementing the overall color scheme. Each unit features a combination of large and small windows. The entrance to each home is marked by a covered porch area, with the doors
accented by overhead lighting. And notably, the units facing Sunnyside Avenue would be oriented towards the public street.
In regard to massing, each home is three stories tall, approximately 36-feet in height. While the front elevations have off-set building planes to minimize the perceived massing and scale, the side elevations
have less articulation.
Findings for Approval: To grant a land use approval, the decision-making body must affirmatively establish that the project meets codified findings for approval. Findings establish the evidentiary basis for a City's decision to grant or deny a land use approval and to impose conditions of approval as
necessary to establish the findings. The applicable findings depend upon the type of land use approval under review. The following analysis identifies each of the applicable findings in italics and how the
proposed project satisfies them.
Planned Development Permit Findings
A. The proposed development or uses clearly would result in a more desirable environment and
use of land than would be possible under any other zoning district classification.
Not Applicable. Since the project site is already zoned P-D (Planned Development) the applicant is compelled to build under the provisions of this zoning district, such that this finding is not directly applicable.
Staff Report – Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 6 of 8 PLN-2023-135 ~ 44-56 Sunnyside Avenue
B. The proposed development would be compatible with the general plan and will aid in the
harmonious development of the immediate area.
Yes. The General Plan land use designation for the project site at the time of preliminary application submittal was Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 units/gr. acre). Based on the property's 0.468 acres gross lot area4, a 6-unit project results in a density of 12.8 units/gr. acre, consistent with the range. The General Plan also indicates that "developments at this density
consist generally of duplexes, small apartment buildings, and small lot single-family detached
homes…" The proposed project would, therefore, be in keeping with anticipated development intensity of this designation. Lastly, the proposed project may also be found consistent with the following General Plan policies and strategies. These policies reference the need to protect the integrity of established
neighborhoods, quality site planning and design, and production of needed housing:
Policy LUT-5.2: Residential Neighborhoods: Maintain safe, attractive, pedestrian friendly residential neighborhoods with identifiable centers and consistent development patterns and a range of public and private services.
Strategy LUT-5.2a: Neighborhood Compatibility: Promote new residential development and substantial additions that are designed to maintain and support the existing character and development pattern of the surrounding neighborhood, especially in historic neighborhoods and neighborhoods with consistent design characteristics.
Policy LUT-9.3: Design and Planning Compatibility: Promote high quality, creative design and site planning that is compatible with surrounding development, public spaces and natural resources.
Strategy LUT-9.3e: Building Materials: Encourage the use of long-lasting, high quality building materials on all buildings to ensure the long-term quality of the built environment.
C. The proposed development will not result in allowing more residential units than would be
allowed by other residential zoning districts which are consistent with the general plan.
Not Applicable. This finding is not consistent with the Housing Accountability Act—Gov.
Code § 65589.5(j)(4)—which indicates that in cases where the general plan and zoning ordinance do not match, a project is only required to comply with the general plan. The comparable zoning district for the property based on its General Plan designation is the former R-M (Multiple-family) Zoning District, which would have only allowed five units to be constructed based on the net lot area. However, under the General Plan, as discussed above, the
gross lot area allows for creation of six units.
D. The proposed development would not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or of the city as a whole.
Yes. The development of a six-lot subdivision will not result in any public health impacts in
that the residential use would not result in the release or distribution of any hazardous
substances, emissions, or waste.
4 Under the prior General Plan and Zoning Code, "gross lot area" included both the titled property plus the public right-of-way to the centerline of adjacent streets.
Staff Report – Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 7 of 8 PLN-2023-135 ~ 44-56 Sunnyside Avenue
Subdivision Findings
The following findings are required pursuant to Sections 66473.1, 66474.60, .61 and .63 of the
California Government Code (the Subdivision Map Act):
A. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans;
Yes, as discussed in Planned Development Permit Finding 'B,' above.
B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable
general and specific plans;
Yes. The General Plan does not provide any specific guidance as to the design and/or improvements of a new subdivision, other than requiring conformance with the City's Subdivision Code and the Subdivision Map Act. The City's Subdivision Code (CMC Section 20.16.035) regulates subdivisions that include the creation of lots which do not have frontage
on a public street (i.e. those that take access from a private street). This section requires that the subdivision be approved with Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Homeowners Association (HOA), for the joint maintenance of common property. As conditioned, the project would comply with this requirement.
C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development;
Yes. The project site is relatively flat, requiring minimal grading to accommodate the proposed subdivision and can be adequately served by all required utilities necessary for residential use of the property.
D. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development;
Yes. The project site can physically accommodate the proposed 6-lot subdivision, in that new
residences would include adequate living area and recreational open space.
E. That the design of the subdivision or the propose improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their
habitat;
Yes. The site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species (i.e., wetland), the project will not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, or air/water quality, as conditioned.
F. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health
problems; and
Yes. The proposed subdivision will not result in any public health impacts in that the residential use would not result in the release or distribution of any hazardous substances, emissions, or
waste.
G. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision or that alternative easements for access will be provided, and that these will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public.
Staff Report – Planning Commission Meeting of December 12, 2023 Page 8 of 8 PLN-2023-135 ~ 44-56 Sunnyside Avenue
Yes. As conditions of approval, the City shall secure all easements and land dedications necessary to serve the property. There are no existing easements that would create a conflict.
Tree Removal Permit Finding(s)
The City’s Tree Protection Regulations (CMC 21.32) provide five findings for consideration when reviewing a Tree Removal Permit. The permit may be granted when one or more one of the findings are satisfied. In consideration of the project, the following finding may be satisfied:
5. Economic enjoyment and hardship. The retention of the tree(s) restricts the economic
enjoyment of the property or creates an unusual hardship for the property owner by severely
limiting the use of the property in a manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly
zoned and situated properties, and the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
approval authority that there are no reasonable alternatives to preserve the tree(s). A minor
reduction of the potential number of residential units or building size due to the tree location
does not represent a severe limit of the economic enjoyment of the property.
Yes. The project will include the removal of multiple trees on the property, most of which are too small to be considered "protected," except for two White Mulberry trees, which are located in the way of the new drive-aisle such that their preservation would render the project infeasible.
Moreover, these trees were also found to be in poor condition per the project's Arborist Report
(reference Attachment F). However, at staff's urging two mature and healthy redwood trees
would be preserved in the rear yards of parcels 1 and 2.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee (SARC) reviewed this application at its meeting of November 28, 2023. The SARC was supportive of the application as presented, commenting that they were pleased that the project could incorporate ADUs
and retain the redwood trees.

After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to the recommended approval of a Planned Development Permit, Tentative Subdivision Map, and Tree Removal Permit:
1.The Proposed Project is an application for a Planned Development Permit to allow
construction of six "small-lot single-family" residential homes with an option forintegrated accessory dwelling units (ADUs), a Tentative Subdivision Map to allow anew residential subdivision inclusive of six private lots and one common lot, and a TreeRemoval Permit to allow removal of two "protected" White Mulberry trees.
2.The Project Site is an assemblage of two residential properties located alongSunnyside Avenue, east of Winchester Boulevard, with "net" and "gross" lot areas ofapproximately 17,418 square-feet and 20,418 square-feet (0.468 acres), respectively.
3.The Proposed Project was submitted under an SB-330 preliminary application filed in
compliance with Government Code § 65941.1 on March 3, 2023, predating the June2, 2023, implementation date of the new General Plan, revised Zoning Code, and Multi-Family Development and Design Standards (MFDDS).
4.Due to the aforementioned preliminary application, the application is not subject to any
objective design standards nor any zoning district specific development standards.
5.The Project Site was designated at the time of pre-application submittal as Low-
Medium Density Residential (6-13 units/gr. acre) and zoned P-D (PlannedDevelopment), as shown on the former Campbell General Plan and Zoning Maps,
respectively.
6.The Project Site is currently developed with two single-family residences that will bedemolished as part of the project.
7.The single-family residence located on the 44 Sunnyside Avenue parcel wasconstructed circa 1900. Due to the age of this structure and its placement on the City'slist of potentially historic properties, demolition of the building could be considered a"significant impact" under the CEQA. To address this possibility, the applicant procureda historical assessment prepared by a professional historical consultant. These
materials were peer-reviewed by the City’s Historical Architectural Advisor, who
Attachment A
Planning Commission Resolution No. 469_ Page 2 of 5 PLN-2023-135 – P-D Permit, Tentative Map, & Tree Removal Permit 44 & 56 Sunnyside Avenue
concurred with the determination that the property does not meet any of the minimum threshold eligibility requirements needed to be listed on the California Register of
Historic Resources or as a local historic resource by the City as either a Structure of
Merit or a Landmark property. As such, its demolition would not constitute a "significant impact" under CEQA. 8. The Proposed Project's six units would result in a density of 12.8 units/gr. acre (6 units
÷ 0.468 gross acres), consistent with the density range of the applicable Medium
Density Residential (14-20 units/gr. acre) designation. Although six units exceeds the allowable five units otherwise specified by former CMC Sec. 21.08.050.E., Table 2-6 (General Development Standards – R-M Zoning District), pursuant to California Government Code § 65589.5, in cases where the general plan and zoning ordinance
do not match, a project is only required to comply with the general plan.
9. The Proposed Project includes provision for interior accessory dwelling units, fulfilling the City's accessory dwelling unit (ADU) "Development Policy" (CMC Section 21.23.090) that requires twenty percent (20%) percent of new dwellings within a
residential subdivision with five or more parcels to be designed to allow for future
creation of an accessory dwelling unit, or alternatively, include an accessory dwelling unit. 10. Accessory dwelling units are not considered dwelling units for purposes of residential
density or the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance pursuant to former CMC Section
21.04.020, Table 2-1, Note (1), and Section 21.24.030 – Definition of "Residential Project," respectively. 11. The proposed Planned Development Permit would be adopted by City Council
ordinance as also required by former CMC Section 21.12.030.H.10.c(1), because the
project consists of the construction of more than twenty thousand square feet of gross floor area. 12. The Proposed Project is not subject to the provisions CMC Chapter 21.24 (Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance) in that it has fewer than 10 housing units.
13. The Proposed Project is a "housing development project" under State law, which limits the City in its capability to "deny, reduce the density for, or render infeasible" the project under the Housing Accountability Act (HAA) (Government Code Section 65589.5)
unless: 1) the proposal is found to be in violation of an objective general plan/zoning
standard (other than those waived/reduced through use of the Density Bonus law); or 2) the project will result in a specific adverse impact to public health and safety.
14. The Proposed Project would be consistent with the following General Plan policies and
strategies:
Policy LUT-5.2: Residential Neighborhoods: Maintain safe, attractive, pedestrian friendly residential neighborhoods with identifiable centers and consistent development patterns and a range of public and private services.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 469_ Page 3 of 5 PLN-2023-135 – P-D Permit, Tentative Map, & Tree Removal Permit 44 & 56 Sunnyside Avenue
Strategy LUT-5.2a: Neighborhood Compatibility: Promote new residential development and substantial additions that are designed to maintain and support the existing character and development pattern of the surrounding neighborhood, especially in historic neighborhoods and neighborhoods with consistent design characteristics.
Policy LUT-9.3: Design and Planning Compatibility: Promote high quality, creative design and site planning that is compatible with surrounding development, public spaces and natural resources.
Strategy LUT-9.3e: Building Materials: Encourage the use of long-lasting, high quality building materials on all buildings to ensure the long-term quality of the built environment.
15. The proposed Tentative Vesting Subdivision Map will allow creation of privately held
parcels for fee title ownership as well as common parcels to be improved with a private roadway, parking, open space, and landscaping. 16. As a condition of approval, the applicant shall record Covenants, Codes and
Restrictions (CC&R’s) for the Proposed Project, forming a Homeowner's Association (HOA) and formalizing the operational responsibilities of the HOA and satisfying the "exception to access requirement" for a lots without frontage upon a public street pursuant to CMC Sec. 20.16.035.
17. The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map incorporates a requirement for off-site public improvements including dedication of right-of-way for public street purposes and installation of City standard curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveways, and street tree(s).
18. The Proposed Project incorporates a requirement for off-site public improvements
including dedication of right-of-way for public street purposes and installation of City
standard curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveways, street tree(s), and street light(s).
19. In review of the proposed project, the Planning Commission considered the site circulation, traffic congestion, and traffic safety effects of the project, including the effect of the site development plan on traffic conditions on abutting streets; the layout
of the site with respect to locations and dimensions of vehicular and pedestrian
entrances, exit driveways, and walkways; the arrangement and adequacy of off-street parking facilities to prevent traffic congestion; the location, arrangement, and dimensions of truck loading and unloading facilities; the circulation patterns within the boundaries of the development, and; the surfacing and lighting of the off-street parking
facilities.
20. The Planning Commission further considered the landscaping design of the proposed project, including the location, height, and material of fences, walls, hedges, and screen plantings to ensure harmony with adjacent development or to conceal storage
areas, utility installations, and other unsightly aspects of the development; the planting
of groundcover or other surfacing to prevent dust and erosion, and the preservation of existing healthy trees. 21. The Planning Commission further considered the proposed project's architectural and
site layout, including the general silhouette and mass, including location on the site,
Planning Commission Resolution No. 469_ Page 4 of 5 PLN-2023-135 – P-D Permit, Tentative Map, & Tree Removal Permit 44 & 56 Sunnyside Avenue
elevations, and relation to natural plant coverage, all in relationship to the surrounding neighborhood; the exterior design in relation to adjoining structures in terms of area,
bulk, height, openings, and breaks in the facade facing the street; and appropriateness
and compatibility of the proposed uses in relation to the adjacent uses and the area as a whole. 22. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently
presented and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant
adverse impact on the environment. 23. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of Approval and the impacts of the project.
24. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and the type of development project.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and in consideration of the entire administrative record, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
Planned Development Permit Findings (CMC Sec. 21.12.030.H.6):
1. The proposed development will clearly result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning district classification; 2. The proposed development will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and
will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area;
3. The proposed development will not result in allowing more residential units than would be allowed by other residential zoning districts, which are consistent with the General Plan designation of the property;
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole; Tentative Subdivision Map Findings (Govt. Code § 66410 et seq.):
5. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans;
6. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans;
7. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development;
8. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development;
9. That the design of the subdivision or the propose improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
Planning Commission Resolution No. 469_ Page 5 of 5 PLN-2023-135 – P-D Permit, Tentative Map, & Tree Removal Permit 44 & 56 Sunnyside Avenue
10. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems; and
11. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision or that alternative easements for access will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public;
Tree Removal Permit Finding(s) (CMC Sec. 21.32.080.A):
12. Economic enjoyment and hardship. The retention of the tree(s) restricts the economic enjoyment of the property or creates an unusual hardship for the property owner by severely limiting the use of the property in a manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated properties, and the applicant has demonstrated
to the satisfaction of the approval authority that there are no reasonable alternatives
to preserve the tree(s); Environmental Findings (CMC Sec. 21.38.050):
13. This project is Categorically Exempt under Section 15332 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to In-Fill Development Projects which are found consistent with all applicable general plan policies and zoning regulations, are under five acres in size, and substantially surrounded by urban uses.
14. There are no unusual circumstances that would prevent the project from qualifying as
Categorically Exempt per Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, including specifically that the subject property does not contain an "historical resource" under CEQA.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends approval of
a Planned Development Permit , Tentative Subdivision Map, and Tree Removal Permit, to allow construction of a 6-lot detached single-family residential subdivision, and related removal of on-site "protected" trees, on property located at 44 and 56 Sunnyside Avenue, subject to the attached recommended Conditions of Approval (attached Exhibit A and B).

INTRODUCTION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Garavaglia Architecture, Inc. was contracted by Sachneel Patel, Managing Director of Granite
Ridge Properties, in October of 2022 to prepare a Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) for the
property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue in Campbell (Figures 1 and 2). This report has been requested
in connection with the anticipated purchase of the property for a development project. The
building has been previously recorded on DPR forms as part of a historical survey for the City
of Campbell and is not part of an existing or identified potential historic district.

Previous Evaluations
The property was recorded on a DPR 523A form in October 1977, by James Finkbeiner, as part
of the City of Campbell Historic Survey of 1977-1978.1 On August 24, 1983, the Campbell
Historic Preservation Board (HPB) considered a request by William Harman and Darol Blunt to
allow the demolition of the structure.2 At the meeting, the City of Campbell HPB staff
recommended that the Board review the historic significance of the structure, and if it was

found that the structure did not warrant further study, the Board should forward a
memorandum to the City of Campbell Building Department allowing the demolition of the
structure. A motion to forward a letter to the Building Department stating that the structure
located at 44 Sunnyside Avenue “does not warrant further study and that the applicant be
allowed to either demolish or remove this structure from its present site” carried unanimously.3
The property was also recorded on a DPR 523A form in April 1999, by architect Leslie A. G.
Dill, as part of the City of Campbell Historic Resource Inventory Update that began in 1997.4
The property was given a score of 83 out of 100, with the score being an average of individual
scores for visual quality/design, history/association, environmental/context, and integrity.5 As
a result of this survey, the property was added to the City of Campbell’s list of properties that
are not listed on the City’s Historic Resource Inventory, but are potentially eligible for future
designation.
This HRE will address the subject property’s eligibility for listing as a historic resource on the
California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), as and on the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP), and on Campbell’s local inventory.
METHODOLOGY
Garavaglia Architecture, Inc. staff conducted a site visit and survey of the property’s interior
and exterior on November 7, 2022, with the current homeowner, Chad Hester, and his father,
Larry. During this visit, staff documented the building’s configuration and architectural
elements with photographs and field notes. On site, the homeowner provided a history of
alterations made to the property, a building permit for electric service upgrades from 1996, a
Metroscan property profile listing the property characteristics, and a Google Earth overhead
view. The homeowner later provided a chain of title for the property, including copies of the
historic deeds, as well as a survey map of the property from 1889, and a map of the Sunnyside
Tract from 1904.
Garavaglia Architecture Inc. also conducted additional archival research on the subject property
and surrounding area. The following repositories/collections were consulted to complete the
research process. (See References section for complete list of resources)

SITE
The subject property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue (APN: 412-04-018) in Campbell, CA, is located
along the south side of Sunnyside Avenue, between Winchester Boulevard and Industrial Street
(Figure 3). The property consists of a roughly .2-acre rectangular lot, which measures 60 feet by
145 feet. The property consists of a one-story single-family residence, and a separate wood
frame garage structure. The property is in a P-D zoning district for planned development.
The house faces north along Sunnyside Avenue. The garage structure is situated in the
southwest corner of the subject parcel and backs up to the rear property line (Figure 4). A paved
concrete driveway runs along the west of the property, extending from Sunnyside Avenue back
to the garage. A metal fence encloses the front yard and extends across the driveway to secure
access. Wood fences separate the property from the neighboring properties on the east and
south sides, and the front half of the west side. The back half of the west side property line is
delineated by a concrete block wall. There are various shrubs, flowers, and trees in the front and
rear yards, including a mature citrus tree in the rear yard.

MAIN BUILDING
44 Sunnyside Avenue is a roughly rectangular, one-story, 884-square-foot bungalow with some
Neoclassical Revival characteristics, such as a full-facade porch with prominent square columns
and a wide cornice line (Figure 5). The house is clad with beveled horizontal lap siding painted
white with light blue wood accents and trim. The roof is a steeply-pitched hip roof with a shed
addition and a flat-roofed addition at the rear. It has dark gray composition shingles, and the
overhanging boxed eaves have light blue wood trim and white beadboard soffits. 44 Sunnyside
Avenue has two one-story rear additions, which have a mix of wood siding materials, including
beveled siding, shiplap siding, solid board siding, and some lattice enclosure elements.

Figure 5. North elevation of 44 Sunnyside Avenue (Garavaglia Architecture, Inc., November 2022)
The primary north elevation of 44 Sunnyside Avenue faces the street, and is set back
approximately 25 feet from the road. The main feature of this elevation is the recessed front
porch that spans the entire front facade. The portion of the roof overhanging the porch is
supported by four square, wood columns, which sit atop a solid railing that runs the full width
of the porch. The columns are four-by-four wood columns with chamfered corners and square
capitals and bases (Figure 6). The solid railing is clad with beveled wood siding, painted white
to match the walls of the house, with light blue wood accent trim running across the top and
bottom of the railing. The house has a wide cornice line that is clad with beveled wood siding,
painted white to match the walls of the house.

Figure 6. Front porch column detail of 44 Sunnyside Avenue (Garavaglia Architecture, Inc., November
2022)
The porch is entered from the north side, slightly off-center, with two concrete steps leading to
the wood porch floor. The porch floor is wood tongue and groove painted light blue to match
the trim on the house. A cut line showing variation in the floorboards seems to indicate that the
front porch may have been expanded towards the street at some point in time (Figure 7).
Alterations to the front porch also seem to be evidenced by the way in which the columns sit
atop the solid railing, with a slight overhang towards the front facade of the house. This does
not appear to be the original configuration of the front porch.

The ceiling of the front porch is wood beadboard painted white. The house’s main entrance is
situated slightly off-center under the roof of the front porch, in line with the front steps, and
consists of a wood door with an oval lite. A screen door with a white finish is installed in front
of the main entrance door. Two single-hung fiberglass windows flank the entrance, at the porch.
The windows are one-over-one with white framing (Figure 8). The main entrance and windows
are framed with wood trim painted light blue.

On the site visit on November 7, 2022, Larry Hester described some elements of the house that
he had repaired or replaced during his ownership. Among these were the windows, which
were all replaced with fiberglass units on the main house, as well as most of the siding. He also
indicated that most of the original interior finishes and trims had been redone.6 The only
historic finishes that seem to remain are the plaster walls and wood wainscoting in the back
bedroom (Figure 17), although the flooring and window trims have been replaced.

The main interior spaces consist of two bedrooms (one towards the front, and one towards the
back), a shared bathroom, a living space, and a kitchen. The kitchen appears to be the most
recently renovated room in the house with original flooring, wall finishes, trim, and cabinetry
all having been replaced (Figure 18). The rear additions appear to be used for enclosed as well
as open storage space.

GARAGE
The garage is located at the southern terminus of the driveway at 44 Sunnyside Avenue, (Figure
19). The wood frame garage is rectangular in footprint, with a gable roof that is clad in dark
gray composition roofing shingles matching the main house. The roof has exposed rafter tails
similar to the southernmost rear addition on the main house. The garage features horizontal
shiplap siding painted white. There is a six-panel person door at the center of the north
elevation leading into the structure. To the right of the door is a 16-panel roll-up garage door for
vehicle access. To the left of the door there appears to be a window that is currently concealed
by a large bush. All of the fenestration has light blue wood trim to match the main house.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
CAMPBELL DEVELOPMENT
Historian Glory Anne Laffey developed a document entitled Historical Overview and Context
Statements for the City of Campbell in October 1996.7 It provides a good basis for understanding
Campbell’s history and development and provides a contextual framework for the evaluation of
potential historic resources in the area. A portion of this document is quoted below to provide
overall historical background for the purposes of this review. Please see the original document
for the full text.
Summary of Geographical Development
This section will review the geographical development within Campbell's downtown
core and original city limits, the surrounding agricultural districts, and later suburban
development outside the original city limits.
Geographer Jan Broek (1932) identified three agricultural phases through which the
Santa Clara Valley passed after 1850. The first phase from 1850 to 1865 was characterized
by cattle ranging, extensive wheat cultivation, and all around experimenting with crops.
During the second phase, beginning in 1865, wheat farming dominated cattle raising
and the foundations were laid for specialization in horticulture. From 1875 through the
1930s, horticulture superseded the declining wheat culture, and many other forms of
intensive land utilization were developed under the increasing use of irrigation. The size
of the ranches in the valley were closely correlated with these changing land uses. The
Mexican ranchos consisted of several thousands of unfenced acres over which cattle
ranged. Early American ranchers followed the Mexican practice of free ranging their
cattle for some years; however, the spread of farm enclosures and environmental factors
caused the large stock ranches to give way to more intensive land use in the form of a
smaller stock breeding farms or dairy farms confined to several hundred acres. Wheat
farms during this period also ranged from 100 to 500 acres in size, averaging 213 acres in
1880. With the increasing crop value per land unit, the large farm became unnecessary.
The correlated increase in land prices, cultivation costs, and growing population led to
the all around subdivision of farm lands into highly specialized ‘fruit ranches’ from 3 to
50 acres in size. By the 1890s, the valley ranked as one of the foremost fruit producing
districts on the Pacific Coast.
Until American settlement, the Santa Clara Valley outside the settlements at the mission
and the pueblo was largely undeveloped and utilized primarily for the grazing of
livestock. In the late 1820s and 1830s, large tracts of land were granted by the Mexican
government to California citizens. As each of these ranchos was occupied, the
landowners constructed residences, laborers' housing, corrals, grist mills, tanneries, etc.,
in order to provide the basic needs of the rancho community. Three Mexican settlements
are known to have been located within Campbell's city limits.
Farms in the Campbell area developed according to the land use patterns identified by

of Community Development, Planning Division, City of Campbell, 1996, 3.

Broek. Early wheat farms consisted of parcels of several hundred acres. With the arrival
of the railroad in 1877 and the success of early experiments in fruit packing and canning,
the owners of the large wheat farms around Campbell began subdividing their
properties and planting orchards by the early 1880s. Earlier farms were more
widespread, and the basic farm complex consisted of a farmhouse, barn, well, windmill
and water tower. As the parcel sizes decreased during the horticultural period, fruit
processing buildings such as cutting sheds and sulfuring tunnels were added to the farm
units.
In November 1882, Benjamin Campbell had surveyor Charles Herrmann survey his
property for the Town of Campbell. By 1887, the town had a railroad depot, a post office
and a town hall. The first residential lot was sold in 1888; and by 1895, Campbell was a
thriving village. The commercial center developed at the intersection of Campbell and
Central avenues. The town's first industrial activities centered around the fruit industry.
Drying yards, packing houses and canneries developed in close proximity to the railroad
depot. Fruit growing and fruit processing industries were the primary economic forces
in the Campbell area until the early 1950s.
As drying yards and canneries closed down and their facilities were abandoned, the
property was often subdivided for residential or commercial development. Likewise,
orchard properties would be also be subdivided. During the first couple of decades,
residential development was confined to the original survey and in adjacent areas
subdivided on the edge of the village. During the 1890s, residential neighborhoods were
centered on S. Second, N. Third, N. Central, N. Harrison, E. Everett, Railway, and
Gilman. The first decade of the century saw residential development spread to First and
N. Second streets, and Sunnyside and Rincon avenues. Also there was some early
residential development on Sunnyoaks and Parr avenues during this decade. After 1910
the village residential areas expanded to include south Third and Fourth streets, and
Alice and Kennedy avenues. Outlying residential areas included Smith Avenue in the
San Tomas area east of Campbell, Redding Road in the Union district, and Union
Avenue between Campbell Avenue and Dry Creek Road. The 1920s saw development
move west along W. Campbell and Latimer avenues, north on Esther Avenue. Also in
the late 1920s, there was residential construction on White Oaks Avenue in the Union
district. In the 1930s, new subdivisions included Shelley Avenue in the Union district
and Rancho Del Patio on the northeast edge of Campbell. Between 1938 and 1942, there
were at least fourteen subdivision maps filed in what is now the City of Campbell.
Adjacent to Campbell's core were development north along Harrison Avenue, Rosemary
Lane, the Hedegard, Bland, and Rees subdivisions east of town, and Shadyvale Court
east of Bascom. Five subdivisions were located in the southwest portion of the City in
the San Tomas district, i.e., Harriet Avenue, the Munro Tract, Hazelwood, the Riconada
Gardens on Hacienda, and the San Tomas Acres and Parrview Tracts near the Hacienda
and Winchester intersection. Following the war in the late 1940s, there were over thirty
subdivisions filed. These developments were primarily located east of Winchester, as
well as several near the intersection of Campbell and Bascom avenues.
By this time, the post-World War II population boom was underway and rural
communities were in danger of being swallowed by the aggressive annexation activities
of San Jose and other larger cities in the county. Campbell and many of the other smaller
communities across the valley incorporated. Since incorporation Campbell has annexed

numerous parcels as the residential development took over the surrounding orchards at
a steady pace.8
Architecture and Shelter
Architecture/Shelter as a theme includes buildings representing various architectural
periods and styles, structures designed by outstanding architects, and those resources
that relate to residential living arrangements and landscaping.
Potential resources associated with this theme could date from the earliest settlement of
the area by Sebastian Peralta, Jose Fernandez and Juan Galindo in the 1840s. American
farmers began settling in the area as early as 1848, squatting on rancho lands or pre-
empting homesteads. Early farm complexes consisted of simple gabled or wing-and-
gable farm houses. As farmers became more prosperous in the later decades of the
century, some farmhouses began to reflect currently popular architectural styles: Gothic
Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne. These styles featured the use of elaborate wood
decorations (shingles, spool work, brackets, and moldings), bay windows, and wrap-
around porches.
After 1888 when the first lots were sold in the village of Campbell, the earliest residential
neighborhoods developed on the old Benjamin Campbell Ranch along Campbell
Avenue. Relatively modest in form, these homes also reflected the currently popular
"Victorian" architectural styles of the late 19th century.
Around the turn-of-the century, architectural tastes were changing due to the influence
of the Arts and Crafts Movement. As this was also a time of rapid growth in the town of
Campbell, these early twentieth century styles are particularly characteristic of the
downtown neighborhoods. Although the simple gabled structures continued in
popularity, home styles began to reflect the horizontal lines of the Craftsman and Prairie
styles. Simplified versions of these styles are commonly called bungalows. Interest in
California’s Spanish roots was also reflected in architectural styles. Spanish Colonial and
Mission Revival styles became popular in Campbell after 1915 and through the 1930s.
Other revival styles also gained popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, especially
Colonial and English Revival.
During the 19th century, some of the more prosperous farmers had homes designed by
architects who had offices in San Jose; i.e . Levi Goodrich, Theodore or Jacob Lenzen,
Francis Reid, or 1. O. McKee. More commonly, however, houses were designed and
built by their owners with the help of a local carpenter. Some carpenters became
building contractors using published house plans. Several of these carpenter/
contractors lived and worked in Campbell. George Whitney, known as the "Builder of
Campbell," worked in Campbell from 1888 through the 1930s. Other builders were
WalkerVaugh and Anthony Bargas.
Also an important representation of this theme are the small cottages J. C. Ainsley
constructed for his employees east of his cannery. There were also labor camps for the
large force of seasonal workers that came to Campbell during the height of the fruit

23
processing season. During the 1930s, migrant field workers built semi-permanent
housing. Usually of flimsy construction, dwellings were constructed of whatever
materials could be gathered, such as recycled fruit boxes, tar paper or newspapers.
Multi-tenant housing was not prevalent in Campbell until the modern period. As early
as 1896, however, there were several hotels that catered to travelers and visitors. Some of
the larger homes in town were converted to rooming houses that provided housing for
seasonal workers at the canneries and packing houses.
Following World War II, large housing developments replaced the orchards that
surrounded Campbell. Farmhouses were moved to more convenient locations or were
incorporated into the development to stand beside its more modern neighbors. As the
commercial and industrial land uses have expanded, older houses have been relocated
out of the path of new development.9
SITE EVOLUTION
Development of 44 Sunnyside Avenue
The Alice Avenue Historic District Context Statement was prepared by Archives & Architecture in
2003.10 This historic district lays a block to the north of the subject property at 44 Sunnyside
Avenue, in the former Hyde Improvement Company-owned tract. The patterns of development
identified in the Alice Avenue Historic District Context Statement offer context to suburban
residential development in this area of Campbell at the onset of the 20th century. The subject
property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue was a part of the Sunnyside Tract, which was subdivided into
housing lots in 1904 (see Figure 20).11

additions were not present at this time. There was a small, detached accessory structure in the
rear yard, but it is substantially smaller than the existing detached garage in terms of footprint.
It is likely that the existing garage was expanded from the footprint of the accessory structure
shown in 1920.

The 1928 Sanborn map also addressed the subject property as “5 Sunnyside Avenue” (see

been built. The detached accessory structure is also labeled on this map as a garage.

Ownership and Construction Chronology Overview
The property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue has had many owners in its lifetime. The first owner was
Leslie J. Stratton, who owned the land on which the Sunnyside Tract was developed in 1904.
Leslie was born in Wisconsin in 1872 and was married to a woman named Eliza.12 During his
ownership of the property, Leslie worked as an orchardist and drayman, likely growing fruit
trees on the land.13 In 1906, his residence was listed on Sunnyside Avenue.14 The 1999 survey of
44 Sunnyside Avenue lists the date of construction for the main structure as 1907.15
In 1907, Stratton sold the property to Mary L. Phelps. According to the 1910 US Census, Mary
Phelps, her husband, and their three children were not living at the subject property, but
instead on Palm Avenue.16 It is unknown if the family resided at 44 Sunnyside Avenue prior to
this. Phelps later sold the property to H.I. Coleman in 1911, but he owned it for a brief period of
less than one month.
In July of 1911, the property was sold to Edison Haywood Owen. Edison was born in
Mississippi in 1849 and married Mary E. (also from Mississippi) in 1866.17 Edison died in 1913
and the property was distributed to Mary upon his death. Mary continued to live at 44
Sunnyside Avenue until 1925.
In 1925 the property was sold to Giovanni Barbano. Upon his death in 1935, it was entrusted to
Augustine Barbano De Bernardi and Ernestino Barbano. It remained in the Barbano family until
Joseph P. Barbano sold it in 1941. Not much information on the family is available, but it is
evident that they were orchardists who emigrated from Italy.18 It is likely that the first addition
at the rear of 44 Sunnyside was added by the Barbano family, or the previous owner, Mary
Owen, as it appears on the Sanborn maps between 1920 and 1928.
In 1941, William A. Smith and his wife, Henrietta, purchased the property. William and
Henrietta were both from New York, and William worked as a machinist.19 Henrietta died in
1965, and William died five years later in 1970. 1970, the property was distributed to William’s
son, Frank, via his estate. Seven years after Frank assumed ownership, the Campbell Historic
Preservation Board conducted a historic survey, documenting the subject property with a
sketch and photographs (Figure 23).20 The City of Campbell does not have clear, readable copies
of the photographs on file.21 The presence of the garage was noted on the survey form but was
not indicated in the related sketch diagram. It is likely that the garage was constructed under
Smith ownership in the 1950s or 1960s, based on the style of the building, as well as a historic
aerial from 1965 (Figure 24).

Frank Smith owned the home for twelve years until it was distributed via his estate to Robin
Janssen, Donald L. Janssen, and Sandy S. McDonald, in January of 1982. In September of that
same year, ownership passed to Sandy and Michael McDonald, who owned it for a little over a
year. It is unknown if the Janssens or the McDonalds ever resided at 44 Sunnyside Avenue.
In 1983, the property was sold to Darol and Sharon Blunt, who also purchased the neighboring
lot at 56 Sunnyside Avenue. Darol Blunt and a man named William Harman, acting under the
corporation name B/J & A Development Co., Inc., came up with plans to demolish the
buildings at 44 and 56 Sunnyside and subdivide the properties for the construction of eight new
townhouses and a common area. A request to allow the demolition of the building at 44
Sunnyside Avenue was heard by the Campbell Historic Preservation Board on August 24, 1983
and was unanimously approved, as the board found that the building did not warrant further
study.22 On March 6, 1984, the Campbell City Council adopted an ordinance to allow the
construction of the eight townhouses.23 A tentative map for the development created by
Harman Associates was submitted to the Campbell Planning Commission for review at their
March 13, 1984 meeting (Figure 25).24 The map was found to be in accord with the City’s

General Plan and was later approved by the City Council on April 3, 1984.25 Whether for lack of
funding or other issues, Blunt and Harman never moved forward with the project, and Blunt
sold the property to Terry and Carol Stines in 1985. The Stines only owned the property for less
than a year.

In 1986, the property was granted to Larry and Jaquelyn Hester in a foreclosure sale. When they
obtained the property, there were plans and permits, which were previously approved by the
Planning Commission and City Council, to develop the eight townhouses on the site. At the
time of purchase, there were also squatters on the property that had been living there for
several years.26 After the squatters were vacated, Larry made several improvements to the
property over his years of ownership, including the installation of new fiberglass windows on
the main house, new roofing, siding replacements, new copper plumbing, a new sewer line,
new flooring, new interior finishes, electrical improvements, and new fencing/gates.27 Larry
Hester indicated to the author that the second rear addition at 44 Sunnyside was likely installed

without permits prior to his ownership of the property.28 In 1997, after the Hesters had owned
the property for 11 years, the City of Campbell began a survey to update their historic resources
inventory. 44 Sunnyside Avenue was recorded on a DPR form as a part of this survey in 1999.
At the time, the recorder, Leslie A. G. Dill, described the house at 44 Sunnyside Avenue as
follows:
A Neo-classical Revival residence in good condition, this one-story wood structure sits
at the edge of a residential neighborhood adjacent to a commercial parking lot. With a
symmetrically-shaped steeply-pitched hip roof covered with composition shingles, and
its ridge running perpendicular to the street, the house is moderately-sized and
rectangular in shape with a one vehicle garage within an accessory structure at the rear.
A full-width front porch with wood floor sits within the basic building shape, and
features a solid balustrade supporting four symmetrically placed square wood columns.
The siding is tri-beveled tear drop horizontal lap siding detailed with a water table at
the floor line. The siding rises to boxed eaves terminated with small gutters. The
foundation is concrete as are the front steps. The front door is centrally positioned at the
back of the porch, and contains a large oval window. Windows are one over one double
hung sash with dog ears surrounded by large flat board trim. The well-kept site is
enclosed at the front with metal fencing.29
In 2020, Larry and Jacquelyn granted partial interest in the property to their son, Chad, who
was later granted full interest in October of 2022.

EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
THE NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION (NRHP)
The National Register is the nation’s master inventory of known historic resources. It is
administered by the National Parks Service (NPS) in conjunction with the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO). The National Register includes listings of buildings, structures,
sites, objects, and districts possessing historic, architectural, engineering, archaeological, or
cultural significance at the national, state, or local levels. The National Register criteria and
associated definitions are outlined in the National Register Bulletin Number 15: How to Apply
the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. The following is quoted from National Register
Bulletin 15:
Criteria
Generally, resources (structures, sites, buildings, districts, and objects) over 50 years of age can
be listed in the National Register provided that they meet the evaluative criteria described
below. Resources can be listed individually in the National Register or as contributors to an
historic district. The National Register criteria are as follows:
A. Resources that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to
the broad patterns of history;
B. Resources that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past;
C. Resources that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of
construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values,
or that represent a significant or distinguishable entity whose components may lack
individual distinction; or
D. Resources that have yielded or may likely yield information important in prehistory or
history.
THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
The California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) is the official list of properties,
structures, districts, and objects significant at the local, state, or national level. California
Register properties must have significance under one of the four following criteria and must
retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources
and convey the reasons for their significance (i.e. retain integrity). The California Register
utilizes the same seven aspects of integrity as the National Register. Properties that are eligible
for the National Register are automatically eligible for the California Register. Properties that do
not meet the threshold for the National Register may meet the California Register criteria.
1. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of
local or regional history, or cultural heritage of California or the United States;
2. Associated with the lives of persons important to the local, California or national history
44 SUNNYSIDE AVENUE, CAMPBELL
Historic Resource Evaluation – FINAL March 3, 2023
34
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a design-type, period, region, or method of
construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic value; or
4. Yields important information about prehistory or history of the local area, California or
the nation.
CRHR criteria are similar to National Register of Historic Places criteria, and are tied to CEQA,
so any resource that meets the above criteria, and retains a sufficient level of historic integrity, is
considered an historical resource under CEQA.
HISTORIC INTEGRITY
When evaluating a resource for the NHRP or CRHR, one must evaluate and clearly state the
significance of that resource to American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or
culture. A resource may be considered individually eligible for listing in the NRHP or CRHR if
it meets one or more of the above listed criteria for significance and it possesses historic
integrity. Historic properties must retain sufficient historic integrity to convey their significance.
The following seven aspects define historic integrity:
¥ Location. The place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the
historic event occurred.
¥ Design. The combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and
style of a property.
¥ Setting. The physical environment of a historic property.
¥ Materials. The physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular
period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.
¥ Workmanship. The physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people
during any given period in history or prehistory.
¥ Feeling. A property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period
of time.
¥ Association. The direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic
property.
To retain historic integrity, a resource should possess several of the above-mentioned aspects.
The retention of specific aspects of integrity is essential for a resource to convey its significance.
Comparisons with similar properties should also be considered when evaluating integrity as it
may be important in deciding what physical features are essential to reflect the significance of a
historic context.
CITY OF CAMPBELL CRITERIA
44 SUNNYSIDE AVENUE, CAMPBELL
Historic Resource Evaluation – FINAL March 3, 2023

FINDINGS
NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES/CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL
RESOURCES EVALUATION
This section uses the historic information discussed above to evaluate the property at 44
Sunnyside Avenue in Campbell for historic significance. The NRHP/CRHR uses generally the
same guidelines as the National Register of Historic Places (developed by the National Park
Service); as such, selected language from those guidelines will be quoted below to help clarify
the evaluation discussion.
To be potentially eligible for individual listing on the NRHP/CRHR, a structure must usually be
more than 50 years old, must have historic significance, and must retain its physical integrity.
The subject building at 44 Sunnyside Avenue was constructed circa 1907 and therefore meets
the age requirement. In terms of historic significance, the NRHP/CRHR evaluates a resource
based on the following four criteria:
Criterion A/1 (event)
As stated by the National Park Service (NPS), this criterion “recognizes properties associated
with single events, such as the founding of a town, or with a pattern of events, repeated
activities, or historic trends, such as the gradual rise of a port city's prominence in trade and
commerce.”30 When considering a property for significance under this criterion, the associated
event or trends “must clearly be important within the associated context: settlement, in the case
of the town, or development of a maritime economy, in the case of the port city…Moreover, the
property must have an important association with the event or historic trends”31
The arrival of the railroad in 1877 allowed for the Campbell area to become prosperous due to
early experiments in fruit packing and canning, and the town’s early industrial activities
revolved around the fruit industry. Residential development in the 1910s and 1920s expanded
beyond the downtown core, and into lands that had previously been utilized for fruit and crop
production. At the time that the Sunnyside Tract was laid out in 1904, the surrounding area was
still dedicated to agricultural use. The residence at 44 Sunnyside Avenue was constructed in
approximately 1907, as part of the Sunnyside Tract. The home was one of many constructed
during a period of rapid suburban development in Campbell, in other similar developments
such as Hyde Residential Park and the Curtis subdivision in the immediate vicinity.
While this home does fit into the city’s early 20th century suburban residential development
period in Campbell, the subject property itself does not have an important or distinctive
association with the development pattern, as this was one of many rural-turned-urban tracts of
land, parceled down to accommodate single-family homes in the area. The Sunnyside Tract has
not been identified as a significant tract with respect to the development of Campbell in the
early decades of the 20th century. As such, the property does not qualify for listing on the NRHP
or the CRHR under Criterion A/1.

Criterion B/2 (person)
This criterion applies to properties associated with individuals whose specific contributions to
history can be identified and documented. The NPS defines significant persons as “individuals
whose activities are demonstrably important within a local, state, or national historic context.
The criterion is generally restricted to those properties that illustrate (rather than
commemorate) a person's important achievements. The persons associated with the property
must be individually significant within a historic context.” The NPS also specifies that these
properties “are usually those associated with a person's productive life, reflecting the time
period when he or she achieved significance.”32
The earliest identified homeowner was Leslie J. Stratton, who owned the property from around
1904 through 1907 and was an orchardist. Mary J. Phelps owned the property next from 1907
until 1911. These early owners, and later subsequent owners did not appear to be recognized for
their contributions within a local, state, or national historic context, nor were they found to have
achieved a sufficient level of significance locally or nationally to qualify the home for listing on
the NRHP or CRHR under Criterion B/2.
Criterion C/3 (design/construction)
Under this criterion, properties may be eligible if they “embody the distinctive characteristics of
a type, period, or method of construction, …represent the work of a master, …possess high
artistic values, or…represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may
lack individual distinction.”33
According to the NPS, “‘Type, period, or method of construction’ refers to the way certain
properties are related to one another by cultural tradition or function, by dates of construction
or style, or by choice or availability of materials and technology. A structure is eligible as a
specimen of its type or period of construction if it is an important example (within its context) of
building practices of a particular time in history.”34
To evaluate whether 44 Sunnyside Avenue embodies a “type, period, or method of
construction,” Virginia Savage McAlester’s, A Field Guide to American Houses: The Definitive
Guide to Identifying and Understanding America’s Domestic Architecture was referenced, as it
discusses a variety of house types with respect to stylistic characteristics and periods of
development.35 The Historical Overview and Context Statements for the City of Campbell, created in
1996, noted that simplified versions of the Arts and Crafts influenced styles, including
Craftsman and Prairie style homes, created an off-shoot of simplified versions of these styles,
referred to as bungalows.36
The bungalow style was popularized in the United States during the first three decades of the
twentieth century and was the dominant style for smaller houses built across the country. The
style originated in southern California and was quickly spread throughout the country by
32 National Park Service, National Register Bulletin 15.

pattern books and magazines, which offered plans and sometimes complete pre-cut packages of
lumber and detailing to be assembled by local workers. The identifying features of this style
include wide eave overhangs, porches of full- or partial-width with a roof supported by square
columns, and heights of one or one and one-half stories.37 The bungalow at 44 Sunnyside
Avenue fits into a hipped roof subtype of the Craftsman style, which “is similar to some simple
Prairie houses, which normally lack the exposed rafters and other typical Craftsman details.”38
“During the early 20th century, the term ‘bungalow’ could refer to small one-story examples of
other styles—for example, a Spanish or a Tudor bungalow.”39 The residence at 44 Sunnyside
Avenue combines some bungalow characteristics with Neoclassical Revival details. Neoclassical
was a dominant style in this country from 1895-1955, with its first wave of popularity from
1900-1920 emphasizing hipped roofs.40 The full-facade porch—a principal subtype of the
Neoclassical style:
…occupies the full width and height of the facade. Here, however, the porch is not
covered by a traditional pedimented gable but instead either by the principal (side-gable
or hipped) roof or by a flat or shed extension from such a roof… examples normally
have slender columns without elaborate capitals or fluted surfaces.41
In terms of the cornice line, “Neoclassical houses usually have a boxed eave with a moderate
overhang… a wide frieze band is occasionally found beneath the cornice. These are loosely
based on Federal or Greek Revival precedents.”42
The materials and methods of construction used in the building are typical of the periods it was
built in, but are not exceptional in quality or execution. In addition, this circa 1907 building does
not appear to embody the work of a master architect. Though the house is of notable age, it is
not an exemplary type of the bungalow style in Campbell.
Based on a review of the above information, the property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue does not
appear to be eligible for listing on the NRHP or on CRHR under Criterion C/3.
Criterion D/4 (information potential)
Archival research and physical investigation of the site focused on the above ground resource
only. Therefore, no informed determination could be made regarding the property’s eligibility
for the CRHR under Criterion D/4.
HISTORIC INTEGRITY EVALUATION
Evaluation of potential historic resources is a two-part process. A property must meet one or
more of the criteria for significance, and possesses historic integrity. Since the property
(residence, land, and outbuildings) was not found to exhibit the level of significance necessary
for listing on the CRHR, evaluation of the building’s integrity is unnecessary.

CITY OF CAMPBELL CRITERIA EVALUATION
As discussed above, the property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue does not have a significant
association with Campbell’s Architecture and Shelter historical context (Criteria A/i). Further,
the building is not important for association with any significant persons living at the property
with or events that occurred within Campbell (Criteria A/ii). While the building does exhibit
characteristics of a particular method, period, and type of construction, it is not considered to be
an ‘exceptional’ example of these as this criterion would require (Criteria A/iii).
The building’s original construction materials were widely available and not unique to this
structure at the time of erection (Criteria B/i). The construction methods and overall effect of
the building’s design are not unique or unusual to the area, as many other higher-quality
examples of this type of design exist throughout the surrounding area (Criteria B/ii).
The immediate neighborhood, the former Sunnyside Tract, has been altered from its early 1900s
character. This surrounding area includes commercial structures, multi-family housing,
properties with significant rear additions, new two-story contemporary suburban homes
(Figure 26), and a few tract homes and bungalows of era as 44 Sunnyside Avenue—including a
very similar style bungalow at 120 Sunnyside Avenue (Figure 27). As such, the property does
not materially benefit the historic character of the neighborhood, since the immediate
surrounding neighborhood, as a whole, does not retain its 1900s historic character (Criteria
C/i). The property’s geographic location on a residential block does not necessarily represent an
established or familiar visual feature of the neighborhood, community, or city, as there are
many other homes throughout Campbell that are situated on this type of block (Criteria C/ii).
The house is not immediately visible upon approaching Sunnyside Avenue from Winchester
Boulevard. A corner lot, or possibly a lot located across from a terminating street may have this
quality.

Figure 27. View of 1900s bungalow-style house at 120 Sunnyside Avenue (Google Maps Imagery, 2022)
The building does not appear to meet the threshold of significance for local historical
importance. For these reasons, the property does not appear to qualify for listing as a Campbell
historic resource inventory property or landmark.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the subject property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue does not display a level of historical
significance or integrity that would qualify it for listing as a historic resource on the California
Register of Historical Resources or on the National Register of Historic Places under any
criteria. This particular example of a bungalow residence with Neoclassical detailing does not
appear to be significant at the local level, as it does not possess exceptional levels of ‘historical
and cultural history’ nor does it exhibit exceptional levels of ‘architectural, engineering, and
historical significance’ within Campbell’s built environment.

SUMMARY OF THE PROPERTY
The subject property at 44 Sunnyside Avenue (APN: 412-04-018) in Campbell,
CA, is located along the south side of Sunnyside Avenue, between Winchester Boulevard and Industrial Street and sits of a 0.2-acre rectangular lot. The property consists of a one-story single-family 884-square-foot bungalow home with
Neoclassical Revival characteristics, with a separate detached garage structure place at the rear southwest corner of the lot. The property is in a P-D zoning district for planned development. The building has been previously recorded on
DPR forms as part of a historical survey for the City of Campbell and is not part of an existing or identified potential historic district.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENT RESOURCE ACT
The City of Campbell has had a long tradition of recognizing the importance of protecting the city’s important historical resources, so that they may be passed down to futures generations. The 144 structures listed currently on the city’s Historic Resource Inventory (HRI), clearly demonstrate these efforts. However, like most cities with such inventories of older structures, over time they can change, and these listings should not necessarily be considered static. Moreover,
the buildings that do appear on Campbells own HRI is more like a snapshot in time, and they only represent those historical resources currently identified, to best celebrate Campbell’s unique identity, heritage, and sense of place.
Although the City of Campbell promotes the preservation of its historic resources, these protective measures actually extend beyond the local municipality’s

jurisdiction all the way to the State of California, in part by the adoption of the California Environment Resource Act (CEQA).
CEQA)is encoded in Sections 21000 et seq of the Public Resources Code (PRC), with guidelines for implementation codified in the California Code of Regulations
(CCR), Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 et seq, which requires state and local public agencies to identify the environmental impacts of proposed discretionary activities or projects, determine if the impacts will be significant, and identify alternatives and mitigation measures that will substantially reduce or eliminate significant impacts to the environment. Under this code, the regulation also states that a historical resource is also recognized as part of the environment (PRC Sections 21002(b), 21083.2, and 21084.1), and the California Register is considered the authoritative guide to the state’s historical resources and, in turn, all properties that may be considered significant historically, are subject to review. Under 21084.1. Historical Resources Guidelines it states the following:
ʺ A project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the
environment. For purposes of this section, an historical resource is a resource
listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical Resources. Historical resources included in a local register of historical
resources, as defined in subdivision (k) of Section 5020.1, or deemed significant
pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (g) of Section 5024.1, are presumed to be historically or culturally significant for purposes of this section, unless the
preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that the resource is not historically
or culturally significant. The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical Resources, not included in
a local register of historical resources, or not deemed significant pursuant to
criteria set forth in subdivision (g) of Section 5024.1 shall not preclude a lead agency from determining whether the resource may be an historical resource for
purposes of this section. ʺ It follows that, if a building, structure, or object meets the minimum threshold of being 50 years or older, it therefore must be evaluated to determine if it could have the potential eligibility to be listed as a historic resource in the California Register
of Historic Resources (CRHR). HISTORIC RESOURCE EVALUATION
In the Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) for 44 Sunnyside Avenue, prepared by
Garavaglia Architecture, Inc., dated March 3, 2023, the author thoroughly
examines the evaluation framework and criteria used in determining what a
historic resource must possess to be listed locally and on the National Register of
Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). It also
pointed out that, to meet this level of eligibility, a property must retain sufficient

integrity to adequately convey its historical importance as well as its significance.
In addition, its setting can also play an important factor in this final determination.
If a property individually processes the level of integrity needed to convey its
historical importance and significance, even though the immediate neighborhood
has radically changed over time, the property may still be found eligible as a
historic resource. But, if the findings of HRE show that this older home individually
does not merit even local designation, and both the homes built around the same
time and the neighborhood around this property have significantly changed, then it
has lost it historic value to the community. Unfortunately, 44 Sunnyside Avenue is
a good example of the latter case. Although having the charm of an older small
bungalow home, with the exception of the six remaining homes that are listed on
Campbell’s HRI, most of the other homes built around the same time, have been
substantially altered, or have been replaced with new structures. The immediate
neighborhood has also substantially changed around this property and now only
represent a dim reminder of what had been Sunnyside Tract’s past neighborhood
context.
It is also difficult to avoid an important fact brought to surface in this document that
on August 24, 1983, the Campbell Historic Preservation Board (HPB) had
unanimously approved a motion stating that the structure located at 44 Sunnyside
Avenue “does not warrant further study and that the applicant be allowed to either
demolish or remove this structure from its present site,” which clearly
demonstrates a consensus by the Board that this property was not of historical
sufficient importance to be spared demolition at the time.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is my belief based on the preponderance of evidence and sound arguments presented in the Historic Resource Evaluation prepared by Garvaglia Architecture, Inc. for 44 Sunnyside Avenue that this property does not meet the threshold of significance or does it retain the integrity necessary to qualify as a historic resource on either the California Register of Historical Resources or on the National Register of Historic Places. As a consequence, it is my recommendation that the city allow the issuance of a Demolition Permit subject to the following three conditions. 1. If directed by the City of Campbell’s Community Development Department and the Historic Preservation Board to do so, the property owner shall
provide the Campbell Historical Museum with both drawings and photographic documentation of the structure prior to its demolition for archival purposes. All photographs shall be subject to the review and
written approval by the Museum’s Director, and shall be in compliance with standards for archival documentation and include the following:

PHOTOGRAPHS
a. Color along with black and white photographic prints (if applicable) including negatives taken with a large format camera (120 or greater) of all exterior elevations, interior rooms, and architectural details. b. All prints shall have identification labels on the back, with the subject and date of the photo clearly expressed. c. All photos shall be keyed to a location map indicating the direction and location of each photo. d. Alternate Media: high resolution digital images (11 megapixels or greater), submitted on a CD-R with project information (description, location, address etc.) encrypted on the CD-R. 7. Prints must be
printed on archival quality paper designed for photograph prints.
2. If any artifacts or related features are found during the demolition
operation, the owner agrees to immediately notify the Museum Director to
determine their suitability for salvage (for possible exhibit purposes), or to
determine if any further action is required by the owner before resuming
the building demolition phase of the construction work.
3. It is also recommended that the final issuance of the demolition permit
not be allowed until all of the above items have been agreed to and
completed. It is also imperative that proof be presented the title of the
property has been properly transferred to the new owner, and the
owner has secured the final approval from the city, for any new project
proposed for this property. This last condition, would hopefully preclude
the needless demotion of this early 20th century constructed home if the
development project considered for 44 Sunnyside Avenue was
somehow not approved by the city.

Re: Tree removal and tree protection plan for proposed new, multi-unit building construction at 44 &56 Sunnyside Ave, Campbell, CA 95008
Dear Mr. Wilson,
At your request, Kielty Arborists Services LLC has visited the property referenced above toevaluate the trees present with respect to the proposed construction project. The report below
contains the analysis of the site visit.
SUMMARY
The combined properties contain a total of 14 trees. Two of the existing trees are protected:
Redwood trees #9 and #10. These redwood trees will be preserved as part of the proposed
construction, in alignment with the tree protection plan detailed below. Non-protected trees #1-8,
and 11-14 are recommended for removal, as they are in decline or conflict with proposed projectfeatures. All of the trees surveyed are in fair to poor condition, with redwood trees #9 and #10 in
good condition and thus prioritized for preservation. The site at 44 & 56 Sunnyside Ave looks to
be in fair condition and well maintained in the past. The topography of the land is flat.
ASSIGNMENT
At the request of the owner at 44 & 56 Sunnyside Ave, Campbell, CA 95008, Kielty Arborists
Services LLC conducted a site visit on 6/27/2023 to prepare a comprehensive Tree Inventory
Report for the proposed construction project. This report is a requirement when submitting plansto the City of Campbell. The analysis in this report is based on the architectural plans A01
through A12 received from 44 & 56 Sunnyside Ave, Campbell, CA 95008, dated 6/16/2023.
The primary focus of this report is as follows:
●Identification and assessment of trees on the construction site that may be affected by the
proposed development.
●Determination of potential impacts on tree health and stability, considering factors such asroot damage and crown damage.
●Provision of recommendations for tree protection and preservation measures during the
construction process to mitigate potential impacts.
●Ensuring compliance with local regulations pertaining to tree preservation, protection, andremoval within the construction plans.
Please note that the report will provide specific details regarding tree assessments.

INTRODUCTION
According to our past communications with city staff, the City of Campbell requires the
following tree reporting elements for development projects:
1. Inventory of all trees shown on the survey.2. Map of tree locations.
3. Tree protection, removal, or replacement recommendations for all protected trees.
LIMITS OF THE ASSIGNMENT
As part of this assessment, it is important to note that Kielty Arborist Services LLC did notconduct an aerial inspection of the upper crown, a detailed root crown inspection, or a plant
tissue analysis on the subject trees. Therefore, the information presented in this report does not
include data obtained from these specific methods.
Furthermore, it is essential to clarify that no tree risk assessments were completed as part of this
report unless stated otherwise. The focus of this assessment primarily centers on tree
identification, general health evaluation, and the potential impacts of the proposed construction.
While the absence of these specific assessments limits the scope of the analysis, the findings and
recommendations provided within this report are based on available information and
observations made during the site visit.
PURPOSE & USE OF THE REPORT
This report informs tree management decisions for the construction project and provides
recommendations to maximize tree survival. It serves as a valuable resource for stakeholders,
facilitating informed discussions and sustainable tree management practices.
TESTING & ANALYSIS
In order to assess the trees, a thorough examination was conducted using a variety of methods.
For trees with accessible trunks, precise measurements of the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH)
were taken using a specialized diameter tape measure. In cases where the trunks were not readilyaccessible, visual estimations were employed to determine the DBH. As part of the inventory
process, all trees exceeding a specific DBH threshold of 6” inches were included.
To evaluate the health of the trees, multiple factors were considered, including their overallappearance and our team's extensive experiential knowledge of each species. This holistic
approach ensured a comprehensive understanding of the trees' well-being.
To accurately document the location of each tree, a GPS smartphone application was utilizedduring the data collection process. This enabled us to create detailed maps that are included in
this report. However, it is important to note that despite our efforts to minimize errors, inherent
Kielty Arborist Services LLC Arborist Report 2023 Revised Date: 8/7/2023
2
limitations of GPS data collection, coupled with slight discrepancies between GPS data and
CAD drawings, may result in approximate tree locations depicted on the map below.
To conduct this assessment, a site visit was conducted on 6/27/2023. During this visit,
meticulous observations and high-quality photographs were obtained to provide a
comprehensive analysis.
The findings and recommendations presented in this report are based on the construction plans
titled "44 Sunnyside Avenue" by SDG Architects Inc. These plans were electronically provided
to us via email and are dated 6/16/2023. By thoroughly analyzing these plans in conjunction
with our field observations, we have developed an accurate and reliable assessment of the treeconditions.
METHOD OF INSPECTION
The inspections were conducted from the ground without climbing the trees. No tissue samples orroot crown inspections were performed. The trees under consideration were identified based on the
provided site plan. To assess the trees, their diameter at 54 inches above ground level (DBH or
diameter at breast height) was measured using a D-Tape. Additionally, the protected trees were
evaluated for their health, structure, form, suitability for preservation with the following explanationof the ratings:
Tree Health Ratings:
●Good: The tree displays vigorous growth with normal-sized, shaped, and colored foliage.The canopy density is between 90-100%, with minimal to no dead wood, minor or no pest
infestation, and little to no decay. The tree is expected to have a natural lifespan.
●Fair: The new growth shoots may be shorter than expected, and the canopy density ranges
from 60-90%. Some small branch dieback, noticeable pest infestation, and/or decay may bepresent. Although the tree is not currently in decline, external factors such as construction
impacts, increased pest pressure, or drought may affect its health.
●Poor: The tree exhibits little to no new growth and significant dieback. The foliage may be
undersized, distorted, yellowed, or display abnormal colors. The canopy density is 20-60% orless, with substantial dead wood, pest infestation, or decay. The tree is not expected to reach
its natural lifespan.
Tree Structure Ratings:
●Good: Minor structural flaws can be addressed through pruning. The tree has an uprighttrunk with a single leader or can be easily trained to have one. Scaffold branches are smaller
than the leader, attached to the trunk at angles approaching 45 degrees, and well-spaced
vertically and radially. No included bark or signs of previous branch failures. Foliage is
evenly distributed on the limbs, and the canopy is symmetrical or mostly symmetrical.●Fair: Some structural flaws cannot be corrected through pruning. The tree may have multiple
trunks or leaders, a slight lean, branches attached at angles less than 30 to 10 degrees, and/or
crowding on the trunk. Included bark, previous branch failures, or end-heavy limbs may be
present, and some asymmetry in the canopy may be observed.
Kielty Arborist Services LLC Arborist Report 2023 Revised Date: 8/7/2023
3
●Poor: Significant structural flaws that cannot be addressed through pruning are evident.
There may be significant dead wood or decay, multiple trunks or leaders, crowded branches
on the trunk, significantly included bark, previous branch failures, and/or asymmetry. Thetree may also exhibit a precipitous lean, indicating potential hazard.
Tree Form Ratings:
●Good: The tree's form is nearly ideal for its species, with minor asymmetries or deviations
that do not compromise function or aesthetics. It aligns with the intended use and isconsistent with the landscape.
●Fair: The tree's form displays major asymmetries or deviations from the species norm and/or
intended use. This compromises function and/or aesthetics.
●Poor: The tree's form is largely asymmetric or abnormal, significantly detracting from theintended use and aesthetics. It is visually unappealing and provides little to no function in the
landscape.
Suitability for Preservation (for protected trees only):
This rating is based solely on the tree itself, irrespective of potential construction impacts.●Good: The tree is currently an asset to the landscape and can be expected to survive minor to
moderate construction impacts with adequate protection.
●Fair: The tree contributes to the landscape and may benefit from pruning or other
maintenance activities. It should survive minor construction impacts with adequateprotection, and implementing protective measures is recommended unless construction
impacts are extensive.
●Poor: The tree does not contribute to the landscape and is in poor health, potentially posing
hazards. It is not expected to survive any construction impacts. Some trees with poorviability may be retained if they will not be impacted by construction.
Overall Condition Ratings:
The trees were assigned a condition rating based on a combination of existing tree health (50%) and
tree structure (50%) using the following scale:●1-29: Very Poor
●30-49: Poor
●50-69: Fair
●70-89: Good●90-100: Excellent

Species List:
14 trees were surveyed on this property. The surveyed species comprise of the following:
• Mulberry, citrus, olive, yucca, camellia, loquat, redwood, and Italian cypress.
Tree Removal For Proposed Development:
'unprotected' Size Trees: Total = 12 (Trees #1-8, and 11-14)
Heritage And Protected Trees Defined:
As defined in the City of Campbell Municipal Code:
The following trees are considered "protected" and require approval of a Tree Removal
Permit:
◼All Properties: (1) Any tree shown on an approved landscaping plan or required to be planted
or retained as a condition of approval of a development application, a building permit, or a tree
removal permit; (2) Any tree designated as a "Heritage Tree" by the Historic Preservation
Board.
◼Single-Family Residential Properties. Any Oak, Redwood, Cedar, or Ash tree measuring
12-inches in diameter or greater (as measured 4-feet above grade).
◼All Other Properties. Any tree measuring 12-inches in diameter or greater (as measured 4-feet
above grade). Exceptions: Regardless of size, fruit trees and Eucalyptus trees are not considered
"protected" and do not require a Tree Removal Permit.
Removed Trees Replacement Program:
As per the City of Campbell Planning Division: “If your Tree Removal Permit request is
approved, you will be required to replace the tree(s). The minimum number and size of
replacement trees is based on the number and size of trees approved for removal, as indicated in
the table below. If you are replacing a tree that was required as a part of an approved
Landscaping Plan, the replacement species must be consistent with the Landscaping Plan.
Otherwise, the replacement tree will be determined by the Community Development Director.”
Project Features:
A new development of six, multi-story single-family homes is proposed. Site plans A01-A12,
tentative tract maps TM1-TM4, and landscape map L1, dated 6/16/2023 were reviewed for theinitial tree survey. All trees present on the construction site are proposed for removal.

PROJECT PLAN REVIEW
Redwood trees #9 and #10 are to be retained for this project.
The existing site conditions have a concrete driveway
immediately adjacent to the trees. The driveway and itsassociated compaction has likely helped to discourage root
growth in this area. The existing driveway near the trees is
recommended to be carefully removed by hand under the
direct supervision of the project arborist when working within18’ from the trees. A jackhammer can be used to break the
material into small hand manageable sized pieces. All roots
encountered during this process are recommended to stay as
damage free as possible. Acceptable hand tools include rotaryhammer with clay spade attachment as well as an air knife.
Encountered roots shall be exposed and wrapped/covered in
layers of wetted down burlap to help avoid root desiccation.
The contractor is recommended to wet down the burlap dailywhile exposed.
Picture showing existing site conditions near trees
The proposed homes on the lot are set back far enough away from the redwood trees that no impactsare expected from the proposed home foundations. The proposed homes near the redwood trees are
in the same general location of the existing home on site. The area in between the homes and
redwood trees is to become a landscaped area. Gravel pathways and a paver patio is proposed
between the trees and the homes. All of the proposed hardscapes near the retained trees arerecommended to be constructed under the direct supervision of the Project Arborist. Excavation is
recommended to take place by hand in combination with an air knife when constructing the
pathways and paver patio when within 18’ from the retained redwood trees. The base rock section
for the proposed hardscapes are recommended to be no deeper than the existing base rock section forthe existing driveway. New baserock shall then be packed around tree roots when encountered with
the hardscapes built on top of the tree root zones. The trees are recommended to be heavily
irrigated under the direction of the Project Arborist while roots are exposed. Every other week
during the dry season the exposed soil areas within 18’ from the trees are recommended to beheavily saturated until the top foot of soil is saturated. Impacts are expected to be minor for the
redwood trees. It is recommended to deep water fertilize the trees the following spring after the
construction has been completed. This will help to mitigate the impacts to the tree.
Kielty Arborist Services LLC Arborist Report 2023 Revised Date: 8/7/2023
10
Tree Protection Plan for Redwood Trees #9 and #10:
Tree protection zones should be established and maintained throughout the entire length of the
project. Fencing for the protection zones should be a 6-foot-tall metal chain link type supported by
2-inch diameter metal poles pounded into the ground to a depth of no less than 2 feet. The support
poles should be spaced no more than 10 feet apart in the center. The location for the protection
fencing for the protected redwood trees during the demolition phase of the project will need to be
placed at the edge of the existing concrete driveway and out to 18’ from the trees where possible.
Once the driveway has been demolished, the tree protection fencing is recommended to be expanded
out to the proposed homes while still maintaining at least at 3’ pathway for access between the tree
protection fencing and the proposed homes. This will allow access between the trees and the
proposed homes. During the landscaping phase of the project, tree protection shall be reduced back
to the edge of the proposed landscaping work. No equipment or materials should be stored or
cleaned inside protection zones. Signs should be placed on fencing signifying “Tree Protection Zone
- Keep Out”. If fencing needs to be reduced for access or any other reasons, the non-protected areas
must be protected by a landscape buffer. All tree protection and inspection schedule measures,
design recommendations, watering, and construction schedules shall be implemented in full by the
owner and contractor.
Landscape Buffer
Where tree protection does not cover the entire root zone of the trees at the drip line or when a
smaller tree protection zone is needed for access, a landscape buffer consisting of wood chipsspread to a depth of six inches with plywood or steel plates placed on top will be placed where
foot traffic is expected to be heavy. The landscape buffer will help to reduce compaction to the
unprotected root zone. If plywood is used the pieces of plywood shall be attached in a way that
minimizes movement.
Tree Pruning (not expected)
During construction, any Pruning will be supervised by the Project Arborist and must stayunderneath 20% of the tree total foliage. ANSI A300 pruning standards are required to be
followed anytime a tree is to be pruned.
Root Cutting
All work within 18’ of the protected redwood trees on site must be done by hand under the Project
Arborist's supervision. Any roots to be cut are recommended to be monitored and documented
within this distance. Roots to be cut measuring larger than 1.5” in diameter shall be shown to the
Project Arborist before being cut. The Project arborist may recommend irrigation or fertilizing atthat time. Cut all roots clean with a saw or loppers. Roots to be left exposed for a period of time
should be covered with layers of burlap and kept moist daily by the contractor.
Kielty Arborist Services LLC Arborist Report 2023 Revised Date: 8/7/2023
11
Trenching and Excavation
Trenching for irrigation, electrical, drainage, or any other reason, should be located outside of the
tree's drip line when possible. If not possible, trenching shall be hand dug when beneath the driplineof desired trees. Any excavation underneath the dripline of a protected tree will need to be
supervised by the Project Arborist. Hand digging and careful placement of pipes below or beside
protected roots will dramatically reduce root loss, thus reducing trauma to desired trees. Trenches
should be backfilled as soon as possible using native materials and compacted to near original levels.Trenches to be left open with exposed roots shall be covered with burlap and kept moist. Plywood
laid over the trench will help to protect roots below. Roots retained within trenches are
recommended to be wrapped in layers of wetted-down burlap to avoid root desiccation. Boring lines
may be an option if lines are deemed too close to trees.
Irrigation
Imported trees- On a construction site, I recommend irrigation during winter months, 1 time per
month. Seasonal rainfall may reduce the need for additional irrigation. During the warm season,April – November, my recommendation is to use heavy irrigation, 2 times per month. This type of
irrigation should be started prior to any excavation. The irrigation will improve the vigor and
water content of the trees. The on-site arborist may make adjustments to the irrigation
recommendations as needed. Deep irrigation is recommended. The top foot of the soil should be
saturated. The use of soaker hoses is recommended. The foliage of the trees may need cleaning ifdust levels are extreme. Removing dust from the foliage will help to reduce mite and insect
infestation.
Grading
All existing grades underneath the dripline of a protected tree shall remain as is where possible.
Grading within the dripline of a protected tree is required to be done under the supervision of the
project arborist.
Inspections
The site will be inspected after the tree protection measures are installed and before the start of
construction. It is the contractor’s responsibility to notify the site arborist when construction is tostart, and whenever there is to be work performed within the dripline of a protected tree on-site at
least 48 hours in advance. During the site visits the site arborist will offer mitigation measures
specific to the work completed. Kielty Arborist Services can be reached at 650-532-4418, or by

SCHEDULE OF INSPECTIONS
Kielty Arborists Services LLC:
We will conduct the following inspections as needed for the project:
●Pre-Equipment Mobilization, Delivery of Materials, Tree Removal, and Site Work:Our
project arborist will meet with the general contractor and owners to review tree protectionmeasures. We will identify and mark tree-protection zone fencing, specify equipment access
routes and storage areas, and assess the existing conditions of trees to determine any
additional necessary protection measures.
●Inspection after Installation of Tree-Protection Fencing:Upon completion oftree-protection fencing installation, our project arborist will inspect the site to ensure that all
protection measures are correctly implemented. We will also review any contractor requests
for access within the tree protection zones and assess any changes in tree health since the
previous inspection.●Inspection during Soil Excavation or Work Potentially Affecting Protected Trees:
During any work within non-intrusion zones of protected trees, our project arborist will
inspect the site and document the implemented recommendations. We will assess any
changes in tree health since the previous inspection to monitor the well-being of the trees.●Final Site Inspection:Prior to project completion, our project arborist will conduct a final
site inspection to evaluate tree health and provide necessary recommendations to promote
Kielty Arborist Services LLC Arborist Report 2023 Revised Date: 8/7/2023
14
their longevity. A comprehensive letter report summarizing our findings and conclusions will
be provided to the City of Campbell.
Our inspections aim to ensure proper tree protection, health, and adherence to project requirements.
CONCLUSIONS
Given that all trees, except for the redwood trees #9 and #10, are being removed from the proposedconstruction site, it is necessary to replace all trees that fall within the Replacement Tree
Requirements, as defined in the City of Campbell Municipal Code. Trees #9 & #10 (redwood trees)
measured larger than 12-inches in diameter (as measured 4-feet above grade) and will be preserved
with protective fencing in accordance with the tree protection plan detailed below. The other treesmust each be replaced with one 24” box tree (minimum size). According to the provided landscape
plan, map L1, the project proposes to plant four new 24” box trees and five 15-gallon size trees, for a
total of nine trees to meet mitigation requirements. By doing so, the developer will be in compliance
with the ordinance set forth by the City of Campbell Planning Division. By following these steps,the property owners can maintain a healthy tree population that includes the preserved redwood
trees, adding value to the property and benefiting the environment.

Nonresidential Parking Reform in Campbell
Adam Buchbinder and Matt Kamkar, Campbell Planning Commission, December 2023
Motivation
These reforms are intended to support Campbell’s economic development and to ensure that
the Conditional Use Permit streamlining is effective.
Goals
1.Support the Economic Development team’s streamlining of Conditional Use Permit
reforms. If a use previously required a CUP and a Parking Modification Permit, and it still
requires a PMP, it's not streamlined, and the CUP streamlining will be ineffective.
2.Support the concept of walkable areas as a middle ground between AB 2097 areas and
our existing requirements, as a way to avoid making overly broad changes, and as a
way to mirror the city’s changes to residential parking requirements in walkable areas.
3.Base changes on the following factors, in descending order of preference:
a.The levels of parking we’ve already approved.
b.Levels of parking used in nearby cities.
c.Industry standards, e.g., ITE Parking Generation manual.
4.Present these changes in a clear and understandable way to the City and to the public.
5.Support General Plan policies:
●Policy T-5.1: Develop flexible parking standards that respond to changing travel
behavior.
●Policy T-5.2: Encourage efficient parking facility designs that allow for creative
reuse if/when parking demand decreases in the future.
Non-Goals

Item No. 6
Details and Rationale
There are three quantitative changes. Note that the bar charts show the amount of floor space
allowed per parking stall. Higher bars mean less parking; lower bars mean more parking.
Offices
Office buildings in walkable areas now have a minimum parking requirement of 1 parking space
per 368 ft².
This is based on setting the requirements to levels which would not have required a
discretionary permit, as shown in the below chart.
Medical offices
Medical offices in walkable areas now have a minimum parking requirement of 1 parking space
per 250 ft².
This is based on setting the requirements to levels which would not have required a
discretionary permit, as shown in the below chart.
Restaurants
Restaurants in walkable areas now have a have a minimum parking requirement of 1 parking
space per 200 ft².
This is based on setting the requirements to levels which would not have required a
discretionary permit, as shown in the below chart.
Note that one project, PLN2018-247 (Lisa’s Tea Treasures), is an outlier and is in an AB 2097
area regardless. One stall per 200 ft² is a good fit here.
We do not currently use flat square footage for restaurants, but this is not unusual in the area.
Nearby jurisdictions which use flat square footage for restaurant parking minimums include Palo
Alto2 (1/60 to 1/200 ft²), Los Gatos3 (1/300 ft²), and Milpitas4 (1/39 ft²).

Appendix
The last ten years of Parking Modification Permits from 2013-08-01 to 2023-08-01 comprise
thirty-one non-residential applications. All are evaluated here for changes, but the proposed
policy only applies to proposals in the first category; the remainder are for illustrative purposes
only.
● Nine were in areas not covered by AB 2097 but within a designated walkable area.
These are the only projects which would be affected by the proposed policy.
● Nineteen were in areas covered by AB 2097.
● Three were in areas neither covered by AB 2097 nor within a designated walkable area.
