PC Res 4712RESOLUTION NO. 4712 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PERMIT TO ALLOW THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING 1,336 SQUARE-FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW APPROXIMATELY 2,621 SQUARE-FOOT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1361 PEGGY AVENUE. PROJECT FILE NO. PLN-2023- 89. 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 approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit: 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 8,219 square-foot parcel located along the west side of Peggy Avenue between W. Hacienda Avenue and Steinway Avenue. 4. The proposed project plans reflect an 8,569 square foot lot area that will be created contingent upon approval of a vacation of excess right-of-way application by the City Council. 5. The Project Site is and will remain a legal non-conforming lot within the R-1-10 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District in that it has a lot size less than 10,000 square feet, and therefore is subject to STANP Land Use Policy 'D' (Exceptions for Legal Non-Conforming Lots). 6. The Proposed Project is an application for a Site and Architectural Review Permit to allow the demolition of an existing 1,336 square-foot single-family residence and the construction of a new approximately 2,621 square-foot single- family residence. There are no protected trees proposed for removal. 7. 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. 8. The Proposed Project will result in a lot coverage of 32% and a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .31, where a maximum 35% lot coverage and .45 FAR are allowed in the R-1-10 Zoning District in the San Romas Area Neighborhood Plan. 9. The proposed project proposes a building height of 20’-3 “ (a maximum of 28’ and 2 ½ stories is allowed), a front setback of 25’ (25’ is required), a side Planning Commission Resolution No. 4712 Page 2 of 3 PLN-2023-89 ~ 1361 Peggy Avenue – Site and Architectural Review Permit setback of 10’-1” and 8’-2” (where 10-feet and 8-feet are required), and a rear setback of 26’-4” (where 25-feet is required). 10. The proposed project plans reflect an 8,569 square foot lot area that will be created contingent upon approval of a vacation of excess right-of-way application by the City Council. 11. The proposed project will provide two covered parking spaces in an attached garage, satisfying the applicable parking requirement. 12. 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. 13. The Proposed Project adheres to the relevant design guidelines and development frameworks, particularly the General Plan's focus on creating "attractive residential neighborhoods" with "consistent development patterns" and the STANP’s design guidelines. 14. The Proposed Project is consistent with the Considerations in Review of Applications (CMC Section 21.42.040) for Site and Architectural Review. 15. 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. 16. 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. 17. The Planning Commission 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. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4712 Page 3 of 3 PLN-2023-89 ~ 1361 Peggy Avenue – Site and Architectural Review Permit 18. 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 pursuant to CMC Section 21.42.020 the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: Site and Architectural Review Permit Findings (CMC Sec. 21.42.060.B): 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.
