RESOLUTION NO. 3645
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR THE PROJECT LOCATED AT 330 E.
HAMILTON AVENUE.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the Planning Commission did
determine that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is warranted based upon the
following findings:
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to the Mitigated Negative Declaration:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Hamilton Project, which provides documentation
for the factual basis for concluding that a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be adopted
since no substantial evidence exists, in light of the whole record, that the project may have a
significant effect on the environment. The project consists of the development of a new
multi-tenant commercial building.
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the Project will not have a
significant effect on the environment and therefore does not require the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines.
3. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
the Project.
4. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration
to the public via the Campbell Express and the County Clerk.
5. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day
public review period was between March 23, 2005 and April 12, 2005.
6. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
conditions of approval of the Architectural Approval/Conditional Use Permit.
7. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:

1. 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.

RESOLUTION NO. 3647
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL GRANTING A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT (pLN2005-32) FOR THE
REMOVAL OF SEVEN PROTECTED TREES ON PROPERTY OWNED BY TWO-
FORTY ASSOCIATES, A PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, LOCATED
AT 330 E. HAMILTON AVENUE IN A C-2-S (GENERAL COMMERCIAL)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. REX McLEAN. FILE NO:
PLN2005-32
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 PLN2005-32
1. The proposed Tree Removal Permit is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of
Low Density Residential (less than 4.5 units per gross acre) and the R-I-9 (Single-Family
Residential, 9,000 square foot minimum lot size) Zoning District.
2. The project will include the removal of three protected trees (a 14-inch diameter Walnut, a 15-inch
diameter Walnut and a 15-inch diameter Chinese Tallow) because they would prohibit the
construction of a new single-family home.
3. The three 24-inch box replacement trees are consistent with the tree replacement requirements of
the Tree Protection Regulations.
4. The proposed replacement trees will be a sufficient replacement for the trees to be removed and
will continue the diversity of tree species found in the community.
5. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15304, Class 4, of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
1. The retention of the trees restricts the economic enjoyment of the property and creates an unusual
hardship for the property owner by severely limiting the use of the property in a manner not
typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated properties, and the applicant has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission that there are no reasonable
alternatives to preserve the trees.
2. 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.
3. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of approval
and the impacts of the project.

DISCUSSION
Apl'licant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Site and Architectural Approval
Permit, a Conditional Use Permit and a Tree Removal Permit to allow the construction of a new
single story commercial building of approximately 11,625 square feet located on property at 330
East Hamilton Avenue. The project site is located on the south side of East Hamilton Avenue
between Third Street and North Central Avenue.
A vacant restaurant building (previously Coco's restaurant) currently occupies the site and would be
removed with the development of this proposal. The site is surrounded by commercial uses to the
north, offices to the east and west, and condominiums to the south.
The zoning designation for the project site is C-2-S (General Commercial) and the General Plan
Land Use designation is General Commercial. The proposed use is consistent with the General
Commercial Land Use designation. A Site and Architectural Approval and Conditional Use Permit
are required in that the proposed commercial building is over 10,000 square feet.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is General
Commercial which permits commercial uses. The proposed speculative retail use (shopping center)
is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation.
· Policy LUT -5.3: Variety of Commercial and Office Uses: Maintain a variety of attractive
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of April 26, 2004
PLN2004-1511152 & PLN2005-32 - 330 East Hamilton Avenue
Page 3 of4
and convenient commercial and office uses that provide needed goods, services and
entertainment.
· Strategy LUT -5 .3h: Parking and Circulation: Provide adequate parking and encourage
circulation patterns to serve commercial districts so as to discourage commercial traffic into
adjacent residential zones.
· Strategy LUT-9.3g: Pedestrian Amenities: Incorporate pedestrian amenities such as
plazas, landscaped areas with seating, pedestrian walkways into new developments.
· Strategy LUT -10.1 e: Parking Lot Screening: Plant landscaping or build decorative walls at
the interior and perimeter of parking areas as a visual screen.
· Strategy LUT -7 .2g: Landscaped and Tree Lined Streets: Provide attractive, user
friendly, tree-lined streets and install creative landscaping in street improvement
projects, where feasible.
· Strategy LUT-9.3d: Building Design: Design buildings to revitalize streets and
public spaces by orienting the building to the street, including human scale details
and massing that engages the pedestrian.
· Strategy LUT-9.3e: Building Materials: Encourage the use of long-lasting, high
quality building materials on all buildings to ensure the long-term quality of the built
environment.
Zoning: Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is C-2-S (General Commercial). A
Site and Architectural Review Permit and Conditional Use Permit are required for a shopping center
over 10,000 square feet. The proposed project will be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance with
approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit and a Conditional Use Permit.
Use: The proposed use consists of a speculative retail building. The specific tenants are not known
at this time and consequently staffhas identified the building as a shopping center.
Operational Hours: The applicant's description indicates that the operational hours would be
limited to 7:00 a.m. to 11 :00 p.m. daily. The proposed business hours are typical of commercial
uses in the neighborhood and general commercial uses in the community.
Parking: The site plan indicates the provision of 82 parking spaces. The parking ordinance requires
one parking space for each 200 square feet of floor area or 59 parking spaces. The provided parking
results in a parking ratio of 1: 141 and exceeds the minimum number of spaces by 23 parking spaces.
Staff is recommending a condition of approval that could eliminate 3 parking spaces in the future if
a connecting access is provided to the adjacent parcel to the west.
Circulation: The proposed site plan illustrates the creation of an L-shaped parking area with parking
along the western side and to the rear of the proposed building. Additionally, the site plan has
retained a shared driveway along the westerly property line that provides access to the adjacent
office development. No vehicular connection has been proposed to this shared driveway.
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of April 26, 2004
PLN2004-151/152 & PLN2005-32 - 330 East Hamilton Avenue
Page 4 of 4
Staff is recommending a condition of approval that provides for mutual access easements between
these two properties in the future if both property owners provide shared access easements. This
condition is supported by General Plan policies that encourage shared access driveways and
circulation through commercial developments. This would eliminate 2 to 3 parking spaces when
implemented.
Architecture: Architectural elevations depict a variety of store front elevations provide distinctive
character to individual tenant spaces. Variation has been provided through canopy shapes, heights
and colors. The building parapet has been capped with decorative cornices and wall material is
shown as a cement plaster finish. Awnings have been shown as metal and wood above storefronts.
Staff has worked with the applicant to provide a stronger architectural image along the Hamilton
Avenue frontage and has reviewed numerous revisions over the past six months. The revised plans
have addressed issues of architectural treatment on all four elevations, additional landscaping in the
parking area, and provision of a trash enclosure.
Streetscape: The proposed site plan is depicting a separated sidewalk and landscape boulevard
treatment along the East Hamilton Avenue frontage. Hamilton Avenue is identified as an image
street in the community and is required to install a boulevard streetscape concept.
Tree Removal Permit: The applicant is requesting approval to remove seven of the on-site trees that
are protected under the Tree Preservation Ordinance. An arborist report has been submitted
supporting the removal of these trees removal due to poor structural condition, previous excessive
pruning, or inappropriate tree types for a commercial development. These trees include Liquid
ambers, European Olives, Giant Yucca and Melaleuca. The conceptual landscape plan mitigates the
removal ofthese existing trees through the planting 18 new on-site trees.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee reviewed
this application at its meeting of April 12, 2005, and was supportive of the applicant's proposal.

The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to the Mitigated Negative Declaration:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Hamilton Project, which provides documentation
for the factual basis for concluding that a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be adopted
since no substantial evidence exists, in light of the whole record, that the project may have a
significant effect on the environment. The project consists of the development of a new
multi-tenant commercial building.
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the Project will not have a
significant effect on the environment and therefore does not require the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines.
3. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
the Project.
4. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration
to the public via the Campbell Express and the County Clerk.
5. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day
public review period was between March 23,2005 and April 12, 2005.
6. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
conditions of approval ofthe Architectural Approval/Conditional Use Permit.
7. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
Attachment 1
