RESOLUTION NO. 9898
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT (PLN2001-14) TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF
FIVE SMALL-LOT, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1345-1365 ELAM AVENUE--:
APPLICA nON OF MR. REZA NOROUZI, ON BEHALF OF MR.
AKBAR ABDOLLAHI. FILE NO. PLN2001-14.
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 did find as follows with
respect to application PLN2001-14:
1. The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the
General Plan land use of residential uses for this area.
2. The proposed density of 6.3 units per gross acre is no greater than the density allowance of 6-
13 units pennitted in the R-M-S (Multiple-Family Residential) Zoning District.
3. Up to nine (9) units could be constructed in an R-M-S Zoning District, where five (5) are
proposed in the Planned Development District.
4. The site plan proposes the construction of five (5) single-family homes each on individual
lots. Lots 1, 2, and 4 take access directly off Elam Avenue, Lots 3 and 5 are accessed by a
20-foot wide, decoratively paved common driveway, running along the east property line.
Per the San Tomas Plan, all of the units are set back a minimum of 15 feet from adjacent
properties. Each of the units has a private rear yard with a minimum depth of 15 feet and a
front yard with a minimum depth of 20 feet. Proposed landscaping will occupy
approximately 56% of the project site.
5. The project provides twenty (20) on-site parking spaces, where 18 spaces are required.
6. The completed project would consist of five (5) new single-family homes covering 27.5% of
the lot with building, 16.1 % with paving, and 56.4% with landscaping.
7. The project will have a floor area ratio of .47.
8. The proposed project is surrounded by other residential uses, with apartments to the north,
single- family homes to the south and east, and a Santa Clara Valley Water District Flood
Control Channel to the west.
9. The proposed massing and design is consistent with other developments in the surrounding
area and is consistent with the development standards for residential uses.

10. An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were
found.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes-that:
1. The proposed development and uses clearly will result Íil a more desirable environment and
use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification.
2. The development and uses 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; and
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
5. 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.
6. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the City Council does hereby approve the Planned
Development Pennit subject to the following Conditions of Approval.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Where approval by the Director of Community Development, City Engineer, Public Works

APPLICATION OF MR. REZA NOROUZI, ON BEHALF OF MR
AKBAR ABDOLLAHI. FILE NO. PLN2001-15.
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 did find as follows with
respect to application PLN2001-15:
I. The proposed creation of six lots is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed density of 6.3 units per gross acre is no greater than would be allowed by the
R-M-S (Multiple-Family Residential) Zoning District.
3. The provisions of the CC&Rs are necessary to ensure the long-tenn maintenance of the
common driveway and associated landscaping,
4. An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were
found.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed subdivision does not impair the balance between the housing needs of the
region and the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
3. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
heating and cooling opportunities.
4. 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 attached
conditions, will have a significant effect upon the environment.
5. The development and uses would be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will
aid in the hannonious development of the immediate area.
6. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.

TITLE
Application of Mr. Reza Norouzl of Memarie Associates, on behalf of Mr.
Akbar Abdollahi, for approval of a Zone Change (pLN2001-13) from a
R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to P-D (planned Development) zoning
district, approval of a Planned Development Permit (pLN2001-14) to allow
the construction of five single-family houses and approval of a Tentative
Subdivision Map (pLN2001-17) to allow the creation of siI lots on property
located at 1345-65 Elam Avenue.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following:
I, Grant a Negative Declaration for the proposed project; and
2. Take first reading of the attached ordinance approving a Zone Change (pLN2001-13) from
R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to P-D (planned Development); and
3, Adopt a Resolution upholding the Planning Commission's recommended approval of a
Planned Development Pennit (PLN2001-14) to allow the construction of five (5) single-
family homes, incorporating the attached findings and subject to the attached Conditions of
Approval; and
4. Adopt a Resolution upholding the Planning Commission's recommended approval of the
Tentative Subdivision Map (PLN2001-17), incorporating the attached findings and subject to
the attached conditions of approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The City prepared an Initial Study for this project and it was detennined that no significant
impacts would be created as a result of the project. Based upon the infonnation provided in the
Initial Study, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council grant a Negative
Declaration for this project.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change (pLN2001-13) from a R-M-S (Multiple
Family Residential) to a P-D (planned Development) zoning district; a Planned Development
Pennit (pLN2001-14) to allow the construction of five (5) single-family homes; and a Tentative
Subdivision Map to create five (5) single-family lots and a common lot for access on property
located at 1345-65 Elam Avenue (pLN2001-15). The subject property is located on the north
side ofElam Avenue, adjacent to Smith Creek and west of San Tomas Aquino Road.
The project site currently has a single-family house and detached garage, which will be
demolished for this project.

Page 2
The Planning Commission, at its meeting of June 26, 2001, forwarded a recommendation to the
City Council by a 4-0 vote (three commissioners were absent) to approve the proposed project
with the attached conditions of approval.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Low-
Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross acre), The proposed project will be developed
at a density of 6.3 units per gross acre, which is within the density range allowed for the site.
Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
Zone Change: The zoning designation for the project site is R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential).
Under this zoning designation, a maximum of nine (9) apartment units could be constructed on
the project site, if all other development standards (ie. open space, parking, etc.) could be met.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change from a R-M-S to a P-D (planned
Development) zoning district to allow for the development of single-family units, each to be
constructed on individual lots. The zone change does not affect the maximum density range
allowance for the property, but does allow for the separate ownership of units as opposed to the
development of multiple units on a single lot (ie. rental apartments).
Tentative Subdivision Map: The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map
to subdivide the property into five (5) residential lots and one common lot for an access driveway.
Prior to recordation of the final Subdivision Map and issuance of any building pennits, the
applicant will be required to provide draft Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (Cc&Rs)
which provide for the formation of a homeowner's association to ensure the long-tenD
maintenance of the access driveway and associated landscaping. Condition of Approval No.4
(pLN2001-14) requires that the applicant submit the draft Cc&Rs for review and approval by the
Community Development Director and City Attorney.
Planned Development Pennit: The Planned Development Pennit will allow for the construction
of five (5) single-family homes, incorporating the site plan and elevations as part of the P-D
Pennit approval. The site plan proposes the construction of five (5) single-family homes each on
individual lots. Lots 1,2, and 4 take access directly offElam Avenue. Lots 3 and 5 are accessed
by a 12-foot wide decoratively-paved common driveway running along the eastern property line.
As required by the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan, all of the units are set back a minimum
of 15 feet from adjacent properties. Each of the units has a private rear yard with a minimum
depth of 15 feet and a front yard with a minimum depth of 20 feet, Proposed landscaping will
occupy approximately 56% of the project site. The requirement to provide for CC&Rs for the
project will satisfy the City's need to ensure the proper maintenance and upkeep of the
development.
The project provides a total of 20 off-street parking spaces. Each unit has a two-car garage and
two parking spaces in the driveway apron. The project exceeds the City's parking requirement to
provide 3.5 parking spaces per unit by providing four per unit.

The conceptual landscaped areas shows IS-gallon trees and landscaping along the east side of the
property adjacent to the driveway; shrubs, turf, IS-gallon trees in the front yards of all the units;
and 24-inch box trees along the rear property line of the development.
Overall, the proposed landscaping is consistent with the City's Water Efficient Landscape
Standards (WELS) and meets the minimum tree requirement per the STANP. However, several
trees on site were removed without a Tree Removal Permit and therefore the final landscape plan
will need to include additional replacement trees for those removed and the upgrading of
proposed IS-gallon trees to 24-inch box. Condition of Approval No.4 (pLN200I-I4) requires
the submittal of a final landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by the Community
Development Director.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the proposed project subject to additional and/or modified Conditions of Approval.
2. Deny the proposed project.

AKBAR ABDOLLAHI. FILE NO. PLN2001-13,
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 Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2001-13:
1. The proposed Planned Development zoning is consistent with the General Plan designation
of Low-Medium Density Residential for the site,
2. The proposed density of 6,3 units per gross acre is no greater than the density allowance of 6-
13 units per gross acre pennitted in the R-M-S (Multiple-Family Residential) Zoning
District.
3, An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were
found.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed development and uses will clearly result in a more desirable environment and
use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification,
2. The development and uses will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid
in the hannonious 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; and
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
2. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that the project, as currently presented, and subject to the required conditions of
approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant, Reza Norouzi of Memarie Associates, is requesting
approval ofa Zone Change (PLN2001-13) from an R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to a
P-D (Planned Development) zoning district and a Planned Development Permit (PLN2001-14) to
allow the construction of five (5) single-family homes; and a Tentative Subdivision Map to
create five (5) single-family lots and a common lot for access on property located at 1345-65
Elam Avenue (PLN2001-15). The subject property is located on the north side ofElam Avenue,
adjacent to Smith Creek and west of San Tomas Aquino Road,
Back~ound: The project site currently has a single-family house and detached garage, which
will be demolished for this project.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Low-
Medium Density Residential (6-13 units per gross acre). The proposed project will be developed
at a density of 6.3 units per gross acre, which is within the density range allowed for the site,
Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
Staff Report - Planning Coml...ssion Meeting of June 26, 200 I
PLN2001-13, 14, and 15 - 1345-65 Elam Avenue
Page 3
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is R-M-S (Multiple Family
Residential), Under this zoning designation, a maximum of nine (9) apartment units could be
constructed on the project site, if all other development standards (i.e, open space, parking, etc,)
could be met. The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change from a R-M-S to a P-D
(Planned Development) zoning district to allow for the development of single-family units, each
to be constructed on individual lots. The zone change does not affect the maximum density range
allowance for the property, but does allow for the separate ownership of units as opposed to the
development of multiple units on a single lot (i,e, rental apartments),
Site Plan: The site plan proposes the construction of five (5) single-family homes each on
individual lots, Lots I, 2, and 4 take access directly off Elam Avenue, Lots 3 and 5 are accessed
by a 20-foot wide decoratively-paved common driveway running along the eastern property line,
Per the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan, all of the units are set back a minimum of 15 feet
from adjacent properties. Each of the units has a private rear yard with a minimum depth of IS
feet and a front yard with a minimum depth of 20 feet. Proposed landscaping will occupy
approximately 56% ofthe project site,
Architecture: The proposed homes each have a distinctive design and well-articulated features,
The houses all have stucco siding and brick or ledgestone wainscoting elements across the
building frontage, The various elevations are designed with an attractive combination of arched
windows, shutters, front porches, wooden railings, window boxes, juliette balconies, columns
and posts, and window trim which result in the houses sharing a similar, but not duplicative,
finished look.
The applicant proposes subtle earth-tone shades that complement each other, Brick will be used
on one house and a variety of different ledgestone styles will be used on the others for the
decorative wainscoting, Door and wood trims are shown as an off-white color, Composition
shingle roofing will be used for all of the houses, each house different in various shades of dark
gray and dark brown,
Staff finds that the proposed design is well articulated and meets the development standards set
forth in the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP) and the City's Low-Medium
Residential Design Guidelines,
Landscaping: The conceptual landscaped areas shows IS-gallon trees and landscaping along the
east side of the property adjacent to the driveway; shrubs, turf, 15-gallon trees in the front yards
of all the units, and 24-inch box trees along the rear property line ofthe development.
Overall, the proposed landscaping is consistent with the City's Water Efficient Landscape
Standards (WELS) and meets the minimum tree requirement per the STANP, However, several
trees on site were removed without a Tree Removal Permit and therefore the final landscape plan
will need to include additional replacement trees for those removed and the upgrading of
proposed 15-gallon trees to 24-inch box, Condition of Approval No, 4 (PLN2001-14) requires
Staff Report - Planning ComIlU.,;sion Meeting of June 26, 2001
PLN2001-13, 14, and 15 - 1345-65 Elam Avenue
Page 4
the submittal of a final landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by the Community
Development Director,
Parking: The project provides a total of 20 off-street parking spaces. Each unit has a two-car
garage and two parking spaces in the driveway apron. The project exceeds the City's parking
requirement to provide 3,5 parking spaces per unit by providing four per unit.
Tentative Subdivision Map: The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Subdivision
Map to subdivide the property into five (5) residentia110ts and one common lot for an access
driveway.
Prior to recordation of the final Subdivision Map and issuance of any building permits, the
applicant shall provide draft Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) which provide for
the formation of a homeowner's association to ensure the long-term maintenance of the access
driveway and associated landscaping, Condition of Approval No.4 (PLN2001-14) requires that
the applicant submit the draft CC&Rs for review and approval by the Community Development
Director and City Attorney,
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
reviewed this development project at its meeting of June 12, 2001 and was supportive of the
proposed project.

Dear Ms. Bascom:
Subject:
Site Plan for Shaahin Terrace-A Proposed Five-Unit Single Family Residential Project
Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) staff has reviewed the tentative parcel map for the proposed
five-lot parcel subdivision located at 1345 Elam Avenue, submitted to us on April 2, 2001.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map, the west
portion of the site is located within Zone A, an area of lOa-year flood, where the base flood elevations and
flood hazard factors are not detennined. The District's maps of flood control facilities showing the limits
of 1 percent flooding, show that more than the westerly half of the site is subject to flooding in the event
of a 100-year flood. The depth of flooding would be less than one foot. The placement of fill on the site
will divert floodwaters to other lands thereby increasing the depth or lateral extent of flooding on other
property. The project applicant should be responsible for the preparation of an analysis by a registered civil
engineer to detennine the 1 percent flood elevation and impacts associated with the placement of fill on
the site. FEMA recently prepared a new model ordinance that they will be requesting that cities adopt.
The new ordinance requires that 1 OO-year water surface elevations in Zone A be determined prior to setting
lowest floor elevations.
The site is located adjacent to a District facility, Smith Creek, and District fee title right of way. The
preliminary grading and drainage plan includes the construction of an earth swàle, fence, development of
Lot No.1, driveway, curb and gutter, and sidewalk transition adjacent to Smith Creek and District
property. In accordance with District Ordinance 83-2, a District pennit is required for any work within
50 feet of the top of the creek bank or District right of way.
The plan should label the District facility, "Smith Creek" and District property, as "Lands of Santa Clara
Valley Water District."
There must be no overbank drainage from the subject site into Smith Creek. The legend notes on the
preliminary grading plan mention that the proposed earth swale will be graded 2 percent minimum away
from the house and I percent minimum from property line to swale. The elevations on Section B-B on
Sheet C-3 show the slope from the property line towards the swale to be 0.2 percent, which is flatter than
the proposed minimum 1 percent slope. The plan and cross-section must be consistent and the slope

Dear Ms. Bascom:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject Parcel map. PG&E has no objection
to the map.
PG&E owns and operates a variety of gas and electric facilities which may be located
within the proposed project boundaries. Project proponents should coordinate with PG&E
early in the development of their project plans to promote the safe and reliable
maintenance and operation of existing utility facilities. Any proposed development plans
should provide for unrestricted utility access and prevent interference with PG&E
easements.
Activities which may impact our facilities include, but are not limited to,
permanent/temporary changes in grade over or under our facilities, construction of
structures within or adjacent to PG&E's easements, and planting of certain types of
vegetation over, under, or adjacent to our facilities.
The installation of new gas and electric facilities and/or the relocation of existing PG&E
facilities will be performed in accordance with common law or Rules and Tariffs as
authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission.
Please contact me at (408)282-7401 if you have any questions regarding our comments.

5-Lot Subdivision (Revised Site Plan)
Dear Mr. Abdollahi:
Thank you for your submittal of a preliminary tentative subdivision map for a five-lot subdivision
on the referenced property. The following comments refer to the conceptual site plan filed as a
Preliminary Application with the city on October 30,2000. As you are aware, staffwill be able to
give you better feedback when more detailed drawings are submitted.
Based upon a review the current zoning and San Tomas Neighborhood development policies, it
appears that a five-lot subdivision is reasonable at this location. However, the plans as submitted
are very preliminary, and it is unclear whether all of the development standards can be met with the
proposed building footprints. Please be advised of the following:
1. General Plan and Zoning: The preliminary proposal is consistent with the General Plan
designation of Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 dwelling units per gross acre) at 6.5
units per gross acre. The property is zoned R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential), which
requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 60 feet for the
development of single-family homes.
2. Rezoning/Subdivision/PD Permit: As your proposal does not meet the minimum lot size or lot
width requirements, the project will require the processing of a zone change from R-M-S to P-D
(Planned Development). In addition, the project requires approval of a tentative subdivision
map and a Planned Development Permit. All three of these procedures should be processed
concurrently, and require the consideration ofthe Planning Commission and the City Council.
3. Accurate Site Plan: Please provide a dimensioned site plan. In addition to setbacks, please
provide dimensions of the property lines, dimension to the middle of the street, and dimension

6 Lot Subdivision
Dear Mr. Abdollahi:
Thank you for your submittal of a preliminary tentative subdivision map for a six-lot subdivision on
the referenced property. The following comments refer to the conceptual site plan filed as a Pre-
Application with the city on March 1,2000. As you are aware, staffwill be able to give you better
feedback when more detailed drawings are submitted.
Based upon a review the current zoning and San Tomas Neighborhood development policies, it
appears that a six-lot subdivision is reasonable at this location. However, the plans as submitted are
very preliminary, and it is unclear whether all of the development standards can be met with the
proposed building footprints. Please be advised of the following:
The preliminary proposal is consistent with the General Plan designation of Low-Medium Density
Residential (6-13 dwelling units per gross acre) at 7.8 units per acre. The property is zoned R-M-S
(Multiple Family Residential), which requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 .square feet and a
minimum lot width of 60 feet for the development of single-family homes.
As your proposal does not meet the minimum lot size or lot width requirements, the project will
require the processing of a zone change from R-M-S to P-D (planned Development). In addition,
the project requires approval of a tentative subdivision map and a Planned Development Permit.
All three of these procedures should be processed concurrently, and require the consideration of the
Planning Commission and the City Council.
1. Building design: Generally, the building design should tie into or complement the adjacent
development. It is important that the residential design incorporate single story elements, which
are predominant throughout the surrounding neighborhood. Additionally, the building designs

should adhere to the development standards of the San Tomas Neighborhood Plan. The unit on
Lot 3 should face Elam Avenue instead of the private driveway as shown.
2. Compliance with Zoning Standards: Your preliminary plan shows driveway lengths that are
shorter than the 25-foot standard that the City requires. Also, the plan must accommodate two
covered parking spaces and two parking spaces for each lot. The setbacks look good at this
point, but be advised that the setback requirement is equal to one-half the height of the building
wall adjacent to the property line. Keep this in mind as you design the houses, as they must
meet the setback standards for first and second floors.
3. Park Fees: This development is subject to park in lieu of fees and park impact fees. The current
fee is $7,035 per unit of which 75 % of the fee is due at map recordation. Credit may be given
for pre-existing legal lots and dwelling units.
4. Comments ITom the Public Works Department regarding map processing, street
improvements, right -of- way, utilities and easements are attacheà.
5. Comment ITom the Fire District regarding emergency access and water supply are attached.
When you have more detailed plans, it may be helpful to set up another Pre-Application review. If
you would like to meet regarding these comments, please call. I may be reached at (408) 866-2143.

The proposed architecture of the dwellings will be in harmony wtih that of the
Cobble Stone development project adjacent to the proposed development. The lot
sizes vary from 4,600 sq.ft to 7,600 sq. ft with home sizes of 2,200 to 2,800 sq. ft.
according to the applicable City of Campbell's building and site planning
ordinances as shown on the attached proposed site plan.
We appreciate your consideration and preliminary approval of the development
concept in order to proceed with obtaining our Planned Development (PD) permit.
