ORDINANCE NO. 2113
BEING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL APPROVING THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE,
WHICH INCLUDES TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE (TITLE 21
OF THE CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL CODE)
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on the proposed Historic
Preservation Ordinance and after presentation by the Community Development
Director, proponents and opponents, the City Council did determine that the
adoption of the Historic Preservation Ordinance, which includes text
amendments to the Zoning Code (Title 21 of the Campbell Municipal Code) are
warranted based upon the following findings:
1. Recognizing the importance of historic preservation is an effective tool for
managing growth, revitalizing neighborhoods, fostering local pride and
maintaining community character while enhancing livability, the City of
Campbell currently includes Historic Preservation regulations in the City's
Zoning Ordinance.
2. Historic preservation is relevant for communities across the nation, both
urban and rural, and for Americans of all ages, al walks of life and all ethnic
backgrounds, and the City of Campbell has therefore includes Goals, Policies
and Strategies in the City's General Plan to recognize the importance of and
preserve the City's cultural resources.
3. It is important to celebrate the role of history in our lives and the contributions
made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve the tangible aspects of
the heritage that has shaped us as a people, therefore the continuous
improvement of regulations which preserve irreplaceable resources are of
community benefit.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and
concludes that:
1. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the intent and purposes of
the Zoning Ordinance, which is to encourage the most appropriate use of lane
throughout the city; to stabilize and conserve the value of property; to provide
adequate light, air and reasonable access; to secure safety from fire and
other dangers; to prevent overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration
of population; to facilitate the adequate provision for transportation, water,
sewerage, schools, parks and other public health, safety, peace, morals,
comfort, and welfare, all in accordance with a comprehensive zoning code
and general plan; and
2. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the Goals, Policies and
Strategies of the General Plan pertaining to Historic Preservation by
improving regulations which preserve historic buildings, districts and cultural
resources; set forth a process for updating the Historic Resource Inventory;
encourage adaptive re-use; allow for the use of the State Historical Building
Code; and plan for economic incentives.
