After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as
follows with respect to application PLN2014-93:
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 above referenced properties 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 the above referenced properties, as owners of potential historic
resources, understand the importance and significance of each of the properties and that
retention benefits the community.
3. Historic resources have intrinsic value and are an important part of modern life and
should be identified for the community's knowledge and benefit.
4. Of the City's 16,103 housing units, less than 1.5% have been designated as historic
resources or are currently under consideration for designation.
5. 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.
6. 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:
