Written Report
Prepared in compliance with Government Code Section
65858(d))
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d), the
City reports the following measures undertaken since the
adoption of Interim Ordinance No. 26-2350, and how such
measures address the conditions that led to itsadoption.
1. Study of General Plan and Zoning Code Amendments
Measure Taken: The Planning Division reviewed and
analyzed advisory guidance published by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) regarding implementation of Senate Bill 79 (SB 79),
as well as revised draft Transit -Oriented Development (TOD)
Zones and Pedestrian Access Point mapping prepared
by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
Staff updated the City's analysis of properties potentially
subject to SB 79 and properties eligible for exclusion under
applicable statutory criteria.
How This Addresses the Conditions: Interim Ordinance
No. 26-2350 was adopted in response to the significant
and immediate changes in development standards
imposed by SB 79 and the uncertainty regarding how those
standards would apply within Campbell. The publication
of HCD guidance and revised MTC mapping provided new
information that materially affected the City's analysis
Reviewing and incorporating this information directly
addresses the conditions that led to adoption of the
ordinance by ensuring that implementation of SB 79 is
based on the most current guidance and mapping available.
2. Development of a Local Transit -Oriented Development _
(TOD) Alternative Plan
Measure Taken: The City refined its identification of
properties eligible for exclusion from SB 79 based on
statutory criteria, including walking path limitations and
historic designation status. Staff updated mapping and
supporting documentation identifying properties that are
subject to SB 79 and those proposed for exclusion.
How This Addresses the Conditions: A principal purpose
of the interim ordinance was to preserve the City's ability
to identify and document qualifying exclusion sites before
SB 79 became effective. Updating and maintaining these
24-30, 2026
records provides transparency to property owners,
supports implementation of State law, and establishes
the factual basis necessary for HCD review of the City's
exclusion determinations.
3. Identificationtand Mapping of Eligible and Excluded Sites
Measure Taken: Following publication of HCD guidance
and receipt of revised MTC mapping, the City prepared and
adopted a revised interim ordinance reflecting the updated
information and authorized its submission to HCD for
statutory review.
How This Addresses the Conditions: Because the new
guidance and mapping materially affected the City's
implementation of SB 79, adoption of a revised ordinance
was necessary to ensure that the City's exclusion
determinations and implementation measures accurately
reflected current information. This action directly
addresses the urgency that prompted adoption of the
original ordinance and preserves the City's ability to seek
recognition of eligible exclusions under State law.
4. Submission of Ordinance to HCD and Ongoing
Coordination
Measure Taken: The City has submitted ordinance materials
andsupporting documentation to HCD and continues
to monitor and coordinate with HCD regarding review of .:
the City's SB 79 implementation measures and exclusion
determinations
How This Addresses the Conditions: SB 79 requires
HCD review of local exclusion ordinances. Continued

How This Addresses the Conditions: SB 79 substantially
alters development standards within transit -served areas
of the City. Evaluation of permanent implementation
measures is necessary to ensure that future growth occurs
in a coordinated manner that accounts for infrastructure.
circulation, public services, historic resources, and
community planning objectives. This work directly
addresses the conditions that necessitated the interim
ordinance and supports development of a long-term
regulatory framework.
