PC Res 3541
RESOLUTION NO. 3541
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE CITY OF CAMPBELL
ZONING CODE UPDATE (TITLE 21 - CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL
CODE).
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 Negative Declaration is warranted based upon the following
findings:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Zoning Code Update, which provides
documentation for the factual basis for concluding that a 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 a comprehensive
revision of the City's Zoning Code.
2. The Zoning Code Update incorporates many of the ordinance changes called for in the
Campbell General Plan.
3. A Negative Declaration that describes the reasons that the Zoning Code Update 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.
4. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
the Zoning Code Update.
5. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration to the
public via the Campbell Express and the County Clerk.
6. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the Negative Declaration
pursuant to Section 15073 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-
day public review period for the draft Negative Declaration was between January 21, 2004
and February 9, 2004. No comments were received.
7. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the Negative Declaration reflects
the independent judgment 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, will have a significant adverse
impact on the environment.
