PC Res 3561
RESOLUTION NO. 3561
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING AN EXTENSION (PLN2004-27)
OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MODIFICATION TO A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (M 96-06) TO ALLOW THE
CONTINUED USE OF PORTABLE CLASSROOM BUILDING ON
PROPERTY OWNED BY THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
OF SAN JOSE LOCATED AT 1980 HAMILTON AVENUE IN A P-F
(PUBLIC FACILITIES) ZONING DISTRICT. FILE NO. PLN2004-27.
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 Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2004-27:
1. The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Institutional. The use of the
modular building as a classroom is consistent with this General Plan designation.
2. The zoning designation for the project site is P-F (Public Facilities). The use of the modular
building as a classroom is an allowed use in this zoning district and is consistent with the
original Use Permit.
3. The use of a modular building for additional classroom space is consistent with the existing
school and church uses on the property.
4. The modular building is located on the eastern portion of the church property, just south of
the parking lot accessible from Hamilton and Phantom Avenues. The building is setback 10
feet from the eastern property line and approximately 25 feet from the other modular
building.
5. The existing site provides 159 parking shared parking spaces for the church and the school.
There is adequate parking on-site to accommodate the proposed use based upon the staggered
use of the site by the church and school uses.
6. The portable classroom has been on the property since 1996 without causing any reported
parking issues.
7. The Extension does not serve to increase staff or student emollment. The emollment cap will
remain at 112 students.
8. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

2. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to
property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
3. The proposed use is compatible with the uses in the area.
4. The subject site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences,
parking and loading facilities, landscaping and other development features required in
order to integrate said use with uses in the surrounding area.
5. The subject site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such uses would generate.
6. The proposed project will aid in the enhancement and the harmonious development of the
immediate area.
7. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently
presented and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse
impact on the environment.
8. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of
approval and the impacts of the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission grants an Extension
(PLN2004-27) of a previously approved Modification to a Conditional Use Permit (M 96-06)
