TOMAS AQUINO ROAD. APPLICATION OF ARCADIA HOMES,
INC. FILE NOS.: PLN2011-255/256/257/258 & PLN2012-43/100.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the Planning Commission
did determine that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration provides full and
adequate environmental review for Approval of a Planned Development Permit (PLN2011-
255) with a Parking Modification Permit (PLN2012-43); a Vesting Tentative Subdivision
Map (PLN2011-256); a Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2011-257); a General Plan
Amendment (PLN2011-258); and a Tree Removal Permit (PLN2012-100) to allow the
construction of 25-unit small-lot single-family subdivision property located at 125 S. San
Tomas Aquino Road.
Environmental Finding
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Project located at 125 S. San Tomas Aquino
Drive, which provides documentation for the factual basis for concluding that a
Mitigated Negative Declaration may be adopted since no substantial evidence exists, in
light of the whole record, that the project may have a significant effect on the
environment. The project consists of the development of twenty-five new small lot
detached single family residences.
Evidentiary Findings
2. The proposed project includes requests for a General Plan Land Use Amendment from
Neighborhood Commercial to Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 Units/Gr. Acre), a
Zoning Map Amendment from C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) to P-D (Planned
Development), a Planned Development Permit, Tentative Subdivision Map, Parking
Modification Permit, and Tree Removal Permit, to allow a development of a 25-unit
small-lot single-family subdivision on property commonly known as 125 S. San Tomas
Aquino Road.
3. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the Project will not have
a significant effect on the environment and therefore does not require the preparation of
an Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines.
4. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources
affected by the Project.

5. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration to the public via the Campbell Express, the County Clerk, and on the City
website.
6. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
The 20-day public review period was between May 2, 2012 and May 22, 2012.
7. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included
as Conditions of Approval of the Planned Development Permit.
8. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of
the City Council upon recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. 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.
2. The Custodian of the Record for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study is
the Community Development Department of the City of Campbell, located at 70 North
First Street, Campbell, California.

a Mitigated Negative Declaration (attached Exhibit "A") for a Planned Development project
proposed for 125 S. San Tomas Aquino Road.
