Hacienda Avenue. The Community Development Director finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2009-13: 1. The density of the proposed project site is 3.02 units per gross acre, which is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (less than 3.5 units per gross acre). 2. The proposed project is consistent with the R-1-10 (Single-Family Residential, 10,000 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-1-10 Zoning 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 1,418 square foot one-story single-family residence, with lot coverage of 15%, and a floor area ratio of .15. 5. The project provides one covered parking space in a 1-car garage, and one uncovered parking space on the existing 12 foot wide driveway, where a minimum of one covered and one uncovered parking space is required. 6. The height of the home is 14 feet, where the maximum height limit is 28 feet. 7. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 8. The proposed project includes 10 existing trees, which satisfies the minimum STANP tree requirement. 9. The proposed residence incorporates representative architectural features of homes in the San Tomas Neighborhood including simple rectangular shaped forms, hipped and gabled roofs, composition roofing, horizontal siding, and an attached garage. 10. The subject property is located on West Hacienda Avenue, at the southwest corner of Hacienda Avenue and Peggy Avenue. The property is surrounded by single-family residences to the north, south, east, and west. 11. The project qualifies as Categorically Exempt under Section 15301, Class 1 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the construction of additions to existing dwellings. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Community Development Director further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed project is allowed within the applicable zoning district with Administrative Site and Architectural Review Permit approval, and complies with all other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the Municipal Code. 2. The proposed project is consistent with the City of Campbell General Plan. 3. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 4. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 5. 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. 6. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. 7. The proposed project will contribute to the housing stock in the City of Campbell and serve the housing needs of the community. 8. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and the type of development project. 9. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of approval and the impacts of the project. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR FILE NO. PLN2009-13 SITE ADDRESS: 1152 W.
