Environmental Finding
1. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15331, Class 31 of the
California Environment Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to projects involving the maintenance,
rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, or reconstruction of historical resources, provided
that the activity meets published federal standards for the treatment of historic properties.
Evidentiary Findings
1. The properties located at 649 EI Patio Drive, 705 EI Patio Drive, and 58 S. Third Street
are recommended for the Historic Resource Inventory designation as they are locally
important and convey Campbell's image as a distinct community within Santa Clara
County.
2. The property owners of 649 EI Patio Drive, 705 EI Patio Drive, and 58 S. Third Street
understand the importance and significance of each of the properties and that retention
benefits the community, with the understanding that the property owners of 705 EI Patio
Drive may elect to remove their property from consideration with the full support of the
Historic Preservation Board any time prior to a decision by the City Council.
3. The property owners of 458 Esther Avenue, 197 Poplar Avenue, 156 E. Rincon Avenue,
1126 (1124) Steinway Avenue, and 95 S. Third Street have formally requested that their
properties be removed from consideration and will not be contacted for consideration for
a period of one year.
4. Historic resources have intrinsic value and are an important part of modern life and
should be identified for the community's knowledge and benefit.
5. Of the City's 16,103 housing units, less than 1.5% has been designated as historic
resources or currently under consideration for designation.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 4057

Proposed Additions to Historic Resources Inventory
Page 2
6. Each historic building and structure represents an investment and listing on the Historic
Resource Inventory may encourage maintenance and rehabilitation of older buildings
and neighborhoods by allowing property owners to utilize tax incentives and the State
Historic Building Code for repair and rehabilitation which can mean savings in energy,
time, money, and raw materials.
7. Managing information about historical resources and making informed decisions
regarding historic resources is a critical step in the planning process.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code Section
21.33.060(D), the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed historic resource inventory properties possess significant aesthetic,
architectural, cultural, or engineering interest or value of an historical nature.
2. An undue hardship has not been demonstrated by the owners of the properties
proposed for designation
3. Approval of the identified properties for addition to the historic resource inventory
properties is consistent with the purposes and criteria of City of Campbell Historic
Preservation Ordinance and the General Plan.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council designate 649 EI Patio Drive, 705 EI Patio Drive and 58 S. Third Street as
Historic Resource Inventory Properties.
