RE: Zoning and Damage Restoration Statement
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, I am writing to request that you provide a statement that
identifies the current zoning, states whether the current use is a legal use, and indicates the
maximum number of units that could be constructed on the site under current zoning guidelines
with respect to the following property(ies):
Project:
Address:
Assessor's #:
710 Nido Apartments
710 Nido Drive, Campbell, CA 95008
305-39-003
In the event that the improvements represent a legal, non-conforming use, we request that you also
provide a damage restoration statemem that indicates under what circumstances the property could
be rebuilt to its current, legal, non-conforming density. We are particularly interested in any
damage thresholds that, when exceeded, would require the project to be built to current
developmem standards and on what basis these thresholds are determined (i.e., if the threshold is
50% of the assessed value at the time of the destruction). Please also include a reference to any
zoning ordinances that may limit the owner's rights to restore damaged non-conforming
improvements to their original condition.
For our reference, please attach copies of the applicable ordinances relating to the zoning, legal
non-conforming use, and parking requirements of the above property.

Both zoning certification and the damage restoration statement should be on your letterhead and
reference the project by street address.
We are requesting this information to assist us in analyzing a financing request, so any assistance
you could provide to expedite our request would be appreciated. Should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to call.
Please remember that, at least, the letter must state:

Whether or not the present use is a legal use; and
Whether or not there are any current or pending zoning violations.
