STUDY SESSION
3. Certified Local Government (CLG) Training Discussion
The Board and staff will discuss a webinar provided by the California Preservation
Foundation, as required to maintain the City's CLG certification.
Senior Planner Daniel Fama opened discussion on the webinar.
Board members were informed that Campbell adopted provisions of ADUs on historic properties
and specifically that the State provided feedback that Campbell can only provide limits on
properties listed on the state register. The State’s need for providing more housing outweighs
historic preservation. Cities must develop objective standards if they would like some control
about what is happening in their community. For now, there is some control over single-family
home development applications. The Mills Act is a good solution for historic preservation.
Planning staff is working on a code update that will clarify various regulations within Campbell’s
Municipal code.

Meeting adjourned at 5:42 pm to the regular Historic Preservation Board meeting of January 22,
