BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
AND APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT WITH A
DENSITY BONUS TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A RESIDENTIAL
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING 25 TOWNHOMES WITH 12
JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (JADUS)AND ONE 10-UNIT
APARTMENT BUILDING USE OF A 35% DENSITY BONUS (10
ADDITIONAL UNITS)AND WAIVERS FROM THE ZONING CODE AND
EAST CAMPBELL AVENUE MASTER PLAN FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 57-101 GILMAN AVENUE AND 60 DILLON AVENUE,.
FILE NO.: PLN-2023-125
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community
Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council of the City of Campbell does
ordain as follows:
1. The Proposed Project is an application for a Planned Development Permit to allow
construction of a residential planned development including 25 townhomes with 12 junior
accessory dwelling units (JADUs) and one 10-unit apartment building with use of a 35%
density bonus (10 additional units) in association with a Tentative Subdivision Map to allow
the creation of 26 private lots and 7 common lots (33 new lots), and a Tree Removal Permit
to allow removal of five (5) trees.
2. The Project Site is an approximately 1.15 (gross) acre assemblage of six adjacent parcels
located southwest of the Gilman Avenue/East Campbell Avenue intersection, and is
currently developed with two vacant single-family residences and a variety of commercial
and light industrial uses that will be demolished.
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 June 2, 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 Central
Commercial (60 Dillon Avenue) and Commercial/Medium Density Residential (Remaining
Parcels) and zoned P-D (Planned Development), as shown on the former Campbell
General Plan and Zoning Maps, respectively.
6. The Project Site is currently developed with two vacant single-family residences and a variety
of commercial uses that will be demolished as part of the project.

7. The Project site at the time of pre-application was subject to the East Campbell Avenue
Master Plan (60 Dillon Avenue) and the South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Plan (remaining
parcels).
8. The allowable conforming unit count for the Proposed Project is 25 units (25.894 units,
rounded down per CMC Sec. 21.02.020.D), calculated by adding the allowable unit count for
the 60 Dillon Avenue parcel located within the East Campbell Avenue Master Plan (0.242 gr.
acres x 27 units/gr. acre = 6.534 units) and the remaining parcels within the South of
Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Plan (1.2103 gr. acres x 16 units.gr. acre = 19.36 units) together.
The allowable density range for the SOCA Plan is based on the Sub-Area 3 density table,
where the net lot area of the SOCA parcels is 41,328 square-feet, which is within the
allowable 12-16 units/gr. acre density range for projects with a net lot size equal to a greater
than '/2 acre but less than one acre.
9. With 25 conforming units, the Proposed Project's 15% Inclusionary Housing obligation is 4
units (3.75 units, rounded up per CMC Sec. 21.24.040.A). Consistent with the conforming
unit count distribution of 40% of rental units (10 units = 25 total units) and 60% of for-sale
units (15 units = 25 units), the proportional distribution of BMR is two (2) rental units (4 units
x 40% = 1.66 units= 2 units) and two (2) for-sale units (4 units x 60% = 2.4 units = 2 units).
Consistent with the distribution requirements for inclusionary units provided in CMC Sec.
21.24.040.D and 21.24.040.E, one (1) Very-Low-Income rental unit, one (1) Low-Income
rental unit, one (1) Low-Income for-sale unit, and one (1) Moderate-Income for-sale unit shall
be required.
10. The Proposed Project includes provision of two (2) Very-Low-Income rental units, one (1)
Moderate for-sale. unit, and one (1) Very-Low-Income for-sale unit, satisfying the
aforementioned 15% Inclusionary Housing requirement. Further, the three (3) Very-Low-
Income units also constitute the "target" units for the requested Density Bonus. Specifically,
the three (3) "target" units equal 12% (11.5% rounded up) of the 26 allowable "base" units
(25.894 units rounded up). Provision of 12% of Very-Low-Income "target" units qualifies the
Proposed Project for a 38.75% density bonus allowing for eleven (11) "density" bonus units
(26 "base" units x 38.75%, rounded up). The eleven (11) "bonus" units are permitted in
addition to the otherwise allowable 25 "conforming" units (25.894 units, rounded down per
CMC Sec. 21.02.020.D) for a total allowable unit count of 36 units. The Proposed Project
includes ten (10) "bonus" units for a total unit count of 35 units, exercising only a 35% density
bonus (26 "base units" units x 35%, rounded up). The Proposed Project is therefore
consistent with the requested Density Bonus.
11. The Proposed Project's 35 units would result in a density of 24 units/gr. acre (35 units
1.452 gr. acre), consistent with the density range of the applicable Central Commercial (60
Dillon Avenue) and Commercial/Medium Density Residential (Remaining Parcels)
designations, with the requested Density Bonus.
12. The Proposed Project includes provision for interior junior 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.
City Council Ordinance 2308 — Planned Development Permit, Density Bonus
Page 3
57 — 101 Gilman Avenue & 60 Dillon Avenue
13. Junior 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. The Proposed Project would be consistent with the following General Plan policies and
strategies:
• Strategy LUT-3.1c: High Density Residential: Allow higher residential densities in the North of
Campbell Area (NOCA), South of Campbell Area (SOCA), and areas near the Light Rail stations
as an incentive to redevelop older, less intensive uses.
• • Policy LUT-5.1: Neighborhood Integrity: Recognize that the City is composed of residential,
• industrial, and commercial neighborhoods, each with its own individual character; and allow
change consistent with reinforcing positive neighborhood values, while protecting the integrity of
the city's neighborhoods.
• 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.
• 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-9.3d: Building Design: Design buildings to revitalize streets and public spaces by
orienting the building to the street, including human scale details and massing that engages the
pedestrian.
• 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.
• Strategy LUT-9.3f: Development Orientation: Orient new development toward public and private
amenities or open space,
• Policy LUT-10.1: Landscaping: Encourage the retention and planting of landscaping to enhance
the natural and built environment.
• Policy LUT-10.2: Roadway Landscaping: Landscape public roadways to define the character of
districts and neighborhoods.
• Policy LUT-16.1: Land Use: Allow commercial, industrial, and / or residential land uses in
accordance with the adopted plan for each SOCA subarea.

Page 4
57 — 101 Gilman Avenue & 60 Dillon Avenue
• Policy CNR-4.1: Tree Planting: Plant additional trees to maintain and enhance the City's
suburban forest.
• . Policy CNR-11.2: Effects of Development on Air Quality: Use the City's development review
process and the California Environmental Quality Act to evaluate and mitigate the local and
cumulative effects of new development on air quality.
• Policy H-3.1: Inclusionary Housing: Support the development of additional affordable housing by
nonprofit and for-profit developers through financial assistance and/or regulatory incentives.
Ensure that new residential development in Campbell integrates units affordable to lower- and
moderate-income households or contributes funds to support affordable housing activities (when
funding is available). Create additional levels of affordability within the Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance in a way that does not create a governmental constraint to housing production.
17. The proposed Planned Development Permit 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 streetlight(s).
18. In review of the proposed project, the City Council 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
f. • and lighting of the off-street parking facilities:
19. The City Council 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.
20. The City Council further considered the proposed project's architectural and site layout,
including the general silhouette and mass, including location on the site, 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.
•
21. 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.
•
22. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project. . .
23. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project
and the type of development project..

57 — 101 Gilman Avenue & 60 Dillon Avenue
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and in consideration of the entire administrative record,
the City Council 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;
5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project;
6. There is, a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project
and the type of development project;
7. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required
conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment;
Density Bonus Finding(s) (CMC Sec. 21.20.140.2):
1. The residential project is eligible for a density bonus and any concessions, incentives,
waivers, modifications, or reduced,parking standards requested; conforms to all standards
for affordability included in this chapter; and includes a financing mechanism for all
implementation and monitoring costs;
2. Any requested incentive or concession will result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and
actual cost reductions based upon appropriate financial, analysis and documentation if
required by Section 21.20.110;
3. If the density bonus is based all or in part on dedication of land, the approval body has
made the findings included in Government Code Section 65915(h);
4. If the density bonus, incentive, or concession is based all or in part on the inclusion of a
childcare facility, the approval body has made the finding included in Government Code
Section 65915(i);
5. If the incentive or concession includes mixed use buildings or developments, the approval
body has made the finding included in Section 21.20.110(4)(g);
City Council Ordinance 2308 — Planned Development Permit, Density Bonus
Page 6
57 - 101 Gilman Avenue & 60 Dillon Avenue
6. If a waiver or modification is requested, the applicant has shown that the waiver or
modification is necessary to make the housing units economically feasible by providing
• ' appropriate financial analysis and documentation as described in Section 21.20.110(5),
and that the development standards will have the effect of precluding the construction of
the residential project at the densities or with the incentives or concessions permitted by
this section.
Environmental Findings (CMC Sec. 21.38.050):
•
1. The Project Site is not listed on the Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List
as set forth in Government Code Section 65962.5.
2. The Community Development Department has prepared an Initial Study and approved
for circulation a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, together with state and
local guidelines, implementing said Act, all as amended to date (collectively "CEQA").
3'. The City of Campbell is the lead agency on the Proposed Project, and the City Council
is the decision-making body, upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, that
may grant approval to undertake the Proposed Project.
4. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration represents the independent judgment
and analysis of the City of Campbell as lead agency for the Project.
5. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration concluded that implementation of the
Project could result in potentially significant effects on the environment and identified
mitigation measures that would reduce the significant effects to a less-than-significant
level.
6. The Proposed Project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on
wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the California Department of Fish and
Game Code.
7. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources
affected by the project.
8. In connection with the approval of a project involving the preparation of an Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration that identifies one or more significant'
environmental effects, CEQA requires the decision-making body of the lead agency
to incorporate feasible mitigation measures that would reduce those significant
environment effects to a less-than-significant level.
9. Whenever a lead agency approves a project requiring the implementation of measures
to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment, CEQA also requires a lead
agency to adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting program to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation, and such a mitigation
monitoring and reporting program has been prepared for the Project for consideration by
the decision- maker_of the lead agency as attached to the Mitigated Negative
Declaration.

10. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
Conditions of Approval of the Planned Development Permit.
11. The Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration was published in the Metro
Silicon Valley, a local newspaper of general circulation; provided by mailed notice to
those individuals and organizations requesting notification; posted with the Clerk-
Recorder of the County of Santa Clara; and made available on the City's website.
12. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day
public review period was from February 2'8th, 2024 to.March 19th, 2024.
13. As the Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated after July 1, 2020, transportation
impacts of the Proposed Project were evaluated using the vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
methodology consistent with SB 743 (2013), codified in Public Resources Code section
21099 and CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3.
14. As included in the administrative record, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project are incorporated into this
Resolution.
15. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program for the Project are on file with the Campbell Community Development
Department, as Custodian, located at Campbell City Hall, 70 North First Street,
Campbell, CA 95008 and are available for inspection by any interested person.
16. The City Council has reviewed and considered the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration and related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Proposed
Project and has recommended that the City Council approve the Proposed Project in
compliance with CEQA.

recommended mitigation measures:
I. 5.1 — Earthwork
II. 5.2 — Foundations
III. 5.3 — Concreate Slabs on Grade
• IV. 5.4 - Retaining Walls
V. 5.5 —Vehicle Pavements
VI. 5.6 - Surface and Subsurface Drainage
d. GHG-1: Implement the following construction best practices:
I. Use zero-emission and hybrid-powered equipment if reasonably available,
particularly if emissions are occurring near sensitive receptors or located
within a BAAQMD-designated Community Air Risk Evaluation (CARE) area
City Council Ordinance — Planned Development Permit, Density Bonus Page 6
57 — 101 Gilman Avenue & 60 Dillon Avenue
or Assembly, Bill 617 community.
II. Require all diesel-fueled off-road construction equipment be equipped with
EPA Tier 4 Final compliant engines or better as a condition of contract.
III. Minimize idling time either by shutting equipment off when not in use or
reducing the time of idling to no more than 2 minutes (A 5-minute limit is
required by the state airborne toxics control measure [Title 13, Sections
2449(d)(3) and 2485 of the California Code of Regulations]). Provide clear
signage that posts this requirement for workers at the entrances to the site
and develop an enforceable mechanism to monitor idling time to ensure
compliance with this measure.
IV. Prohibit off-road diesel-powered equipment from being in the "on" position
for more than 10 hours per day.
V. Require all construction equipment is maintained and properly tuned in
accordance with manufacturer's specifications. Equipment should be
checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper
condition prior to operation.
VI. Where grid power is available, prohibit portable diesel engines and provide
electrical hook ups for electric construction tools, such as saws, drills and
compressors, and using electric tools whenever feasible.
VII. Where grid power is not available, use alternative fuels, such as propane or
solar electrical power, for generators at construction sites.
VIII. Reduce electricity use in the construction office by using LED bulbs,
powering off computers every day, and replacing heating and cooling units
with more efficient ones.
IX. Recycle or salvage nonhazardous construction and demolition debris, with a
goal of recycling at least 15% more by weight than the diversion requirement
in Title 24.
X. Use locally sourced or recycled materials for construction materials (goal of
at least 20% based on costs for building materials and based on volume for
roadway, parking lot, sidewalk and curb materials).
•
Xl. Use low-carbon concrete, minimize the amount of concrete used and
produce concrete on-site if it is more efficient and lower emitting than
transporting ready-mix.
XII. Develop a plan to efficiently use water for adequate dust control since
substantial amounts of energy can be consumed during the pumping of
water.
XIII. Include all requirements in applicable bid documents, purchase orders, and
City Council Ordinance — Planned Development Permit, Density Bonus Page 7
57 — 101 Gilman Avenue & 60 Dillon Avenue
contracts, with successful contractors demonstrating the ability to supply the
compliant on- or off-road construction equipment for use prior to any ground-
disturbing and construction activities.
