RESOLUTION NO. 3666
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL DENYING AN APPEAL AND UPHOLDING THE
ADMINISTRATIVE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP APPROVAL
(PLN2005-50) TO ALLOW THE DIVISION OF ONE LOT INTO TWO
RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON PROPERTY OWNED BY MR. BASHEER
ARMED LOCATED AT 1690 WESTMONT AVENUE IN AN R-1-9
(SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) ZONING DISTRICT. FILE NO.
PLN2005-50.
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 PLN2005-50:
1. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map will result in a density of 3.4 units per gross
acre, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Low Density
Residential (less than 4.5 units per gross acre).
2. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the development standards
(including lot size and minimum lot width) of the R-1-9 Zoning District and the San
Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
3. The proposed lot configuration consists of one standard lot (Parcel 1) having
frontage along Westmont Avenue and one rear flag-lot (Parcel 2).
4. The proposed subdivision layout allows access to natural air and light.
5. Each new lot created has adequate access to a public right-of-way.
6. The Tentative Parcel Map has been distributed to local agencies, including Pacific
Gas and Electric, West Valley Sanitation District, Santa Clara Valley Transportation
Authority, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. None of these agencies raised
any concerns about providing services to the lots.
7. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15315, Class 15
(Minor Land Divisions) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the City's General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the City's Subdivision and
Land Development Ordinance.

3. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map does not impair the balance between the
housing needs of the region and the public service needs of its residents and
available fiscal and environmental resources.
4. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map provides, to the extent feasible, for future
passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
5. The proposed development will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate
area.
6. 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.
7. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the
conditions of approval and the impacts of the project.
8. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the
project and the type of development project.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission denies an appeal and
upholds the Administrative Tentative Parcel Map Approval (PLN2005-50) to allow the
division of one lot into two residential lots on property owned by Mr. Basheer Ahmed
located at 1690 Westmont Avenue in an R-1-9 (Single Family Residential) Zoning
