At the regular meeting of May 16, 2006, the City Council held a public hearing to
consider adoption of the Historic Design Guidelines.
Following discussion and deliberation, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10640

Attachment:
RESOLUTION NO. 10640
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL ADOPTING HISTORIC DESIGN GUIDELINES.
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 City Council did find as follows with
respect to the Historic Design Guidelines:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, Natural Resources Element,
in that Campbell's General Plan, Conservation and Natural Resources Element,
includes goals, policies and strategies that promote historic preservation. Specifically,
General Plan Goal CNR-1 requires "a high level of community participation in historic
preservation efforts to build a strong sense of community"; Policy CNR-1.1 strives to
"ensure that the City and its citizens preserve historic resources as much as possible";
and, Strategy CNR-1.1 c encourages "the distribution of information which informs
citizens of ways to become involved with preservation efforts. The proposed project
supports these General Plan goals, policies and strategies by disseminating City-
specific information which makes preservation easier.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code, in that the Campbell
Municipal Code Section 21.14.020, Historic Preservation, declares as "a matter of
public policy that the enhancement, perpetuation, preservation, recognition, and use of
areas, natural features, sites, and structures within the City having aesthetic,
archaeological, architectural, cultural, or historic, significance is required in the interest
of cultural enrichment, economic prosperity, health, and general welfare of the people."
Campbell Municipal Code Sections 21.14.020.P and 21.14.020.Q require that any
exterior change in any structures, through alteration of construction, be consistent with
the architectural style and character of the structure(s). The proposed project supplies
applicants with design information on the predominant local historic architectural styles,
thereby assisting with the review process required by the Municipal Code.
3. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15331, Historic
Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation, of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), pertaining to projects which involve the maintenance, repair, stabilization,
rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical
resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating,
Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (1995), Weeks and Grimmer.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.

2. The proposed project complies with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and
the Municipal Code.
3. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the proposed project, as
currently presented, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment; and in
fact, provide the Guidelines provide assistance in complying with the CEQA
requirements for the protection of historic resources.
4. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Historic
Design Guidelines and CEQA requirements
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby adopt the
Historic Design Guidelines.
