property ownE:rs 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

4. The property owners of the above reference properties, as owners of potential historic
resources, understand the importance and significance of each of the properties and that
retention benefits the community.

7. Each historic building and structure represents an investment and listing on the Historic
Resource Inventory may encourage maintenance and rehabilitation of older buildings
and neighborrioods 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.
8. 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 fifteen (15) 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 fifteen (15) 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 remove from Historic Resource Inventory consideration 464 W. Campbell Avenue
and designate 8Fi6 E. Campbell Avenue, 1075 W. Latimer Avenue, 96 E. Rincon Avenue,
