After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as
follows with respect to application PLN2006-22:

Residential (less than 3.5 units per gross acre).
2. The project is consistent with the R-1-16 (Single-Family Residential, 16,000 square
foot minimum lot size) zoning district and meets the minimum setbacks, height
restriction, building coverage, floor area ratio, and parking requirements of the R-1-
16Zoning District.
3. The project is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines of
the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
4. The home consists of a new 4,652 square foot, one-story single-family residence
with a building coverage of 22.4% and Floor Area of 22.1 %.
5. The height of the home is 24 feet where the maximum height limit is 28 feet.
6. The residence incorporates representative architectural features of the San Tomas
Neighborhood including simple rectangular shaped forms, simple hipped rooflines, a
front porch, three-car attached garage, composition shingle roofing material, and an
exterior of stucco siding.
7. The proposed project is surrounded by single-family residential uses on the north,
south, and west and the Santa Clara Valley Water District property to the west.
8. The project provides three covered and three uncovered parking spaces where a
minimum of one covered and one uncovered parking space are required.
9. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15303, Class 3,
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:

Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the
immediate area.
3. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood.
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
required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the
environment.
5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of
the neighborhood or the City as a whole.
6. The proposed project will contribute to the housing stock in the City of Campbell and
serve the housing needs of the community.
7. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the
project and the type of development project.
8. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the
conditions of approval and the impacts of the project

Architectural Review Permit (PLN2006-22) to allow the construction of a new single-
