BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL
APPROVING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR ,4 ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT
(PLN2014-165) INVOLVING REVISIONS TO THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EMERGENCY SHELTERS, TRANSITIONAL HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING IN CONFORMANCE WITH SENATE BILL 2 (LOCAL PLANNING
APPROVAL FOR EMERGENCY SHELTERS AND TRANSITIONAL AND
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING); MANUFACTURED HOUSING; SINGLE ROOM
OCCUPANCY FACILITIES; AND UPDATES TO DEFINITIONS IN ACCORDANCE
.WITH THE CITY'S' 2009-2014 HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN.
THE REVISIONS AFFECT. CHAPTER 21.08 (RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS);
SECTION 21.10.080 (M-1) LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT; SECTIONS

ZONING ORDINANCE.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the Community
Development Director, proponents and opponents, the City Council did determine that the adoption
of a Negative Declaration provides full and adequate environmental review for approval of a zoning
text amendment to revise the City's zoning ordinance requirements related to emergency shelters,
transition and supportive housing in conformance with Senate Bill 2, manufactured housing, single
room occupancy facilities and updates to definitions in accordance with the City's 2009 - 2014
Housing Element of the General Plan.
Environmental Findinqs
1. An Initial Study has been prepared by the City for this project that provides documentation for
the factual basis for concluding that a Negative Declaration should be adopted, since no
substantial evidence exists, in light of the whole record, that the project may have a significant
effect on the environment.
Evidentiary Findinqs ,
The project consists of a Zoning Text Amendment involving revisions to the City's requirements
pertaining to emergency shelters and transitional and supportive housing in conformance with
Senate Bill 2 (Local Planning Approval for Emergency Shelters and Transitional and Supportive
Housing); manufactured housing; single-room occupancy facilities; and updates to definitions in
accordance with the City's 2009 - 2014 Housing Element of the General Plan. The Revisions
affect Chapter 21.08 (Residential Districts); Section 21:10.080 (M-1) Light Industrial Zoning
District; Sections 21.36.085 and 21.36.230; and Section 21.72.020 (Definitions) of the Zoning
Ordinance.
2. The Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the proposed Text Amendment 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.
3. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
the proposed Text Amendment project.
4. 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.
5. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Negative Declaration
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day public review
period was between July 30, 2014 and August 19, 2014.
6. The Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council 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 will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
2. The Custodian of the Record for the Negative Declaration and Initial Study is the City Clerk of
the City of Campbell, located at 70 North First Street, Campbell, California
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council adopts the Negative Declaration prepared

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION:
INTRODUCTION
The following evaluation has been prepared to determine if the Project may have a "significant
impact" on the environment. For the purposes of this study, a significant impact means a substantial or
potentially substantial change in the physical environment.
EVALUATIONS
A "No Impact" rating indicates that based upon the available information, the Lead Agency (City of
Campbell) has determined that there will be no impact on the environment. A "Less Than Significant
Impact" rating indicates that the impact will be insignificant. A "Less Than Significant with
Mitigation Incorporated" rating indicates that a specific change to the project (mitigation measures)
will reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. A "Potentially Significant Impact" rating indicates
that the impact may or will be significant.
DISCUSSION
A description ofthe factual data and reasoning used to reach conclusions regarding impact significance
follows each section. The impacts of the project are summarized in Section V: Determination and

resources, create new source of substantial light or glare, or otherwise degrade the existing visual
character of sites within the City. Current development standards pertaining to building height,
massing, architectural design, and site layout would be unaffected by the Project.

(d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? ^ ^ ^
(e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? ^ ^ ^
(a-e): The City of Campbell is located within the southern region of the San Francisco Bay Area air
basin. The California Air Resources Board (GARB) coordinates and oversees both State and Federal air
quality control progams in Califomia. The management of air quality in the basin is the responsibility
of the Bay Area Air Quality Management Distract (BAAQMD). Specifically, the BAAQMD is
responsible for monitoring ambient air pollutant levels throughout the basin, and developing and
implementing attainment strategies to ensure that future emissions will be, within State and Federal
standards.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has established thresholds for determining
whether a given project has the potential to cause a significant impact on air quality (from vehiculaz
emissions), based upon specified vehicular-trip generation rates. [f a project exceeds the thresholds, a
detailed air quality analysis is typically required, as well as project review by BAAQMD staff. If a
project does not exceed the thresholds, the project is presumed to have a less than significant impact
upon air quality, unless special circumstances indicate otherwise. BAAQMD does not recommend that a
detailed air quality impact analysis be prepared for projects generating less than 2,000 vehicle trips per
day. The proposed zoning text amendment is not anticipated to generate any additional vehicle trips;
therefore, this project does not trigger the need for a detailed air quality impact analysis.
Initial Study for Emergency Shelters, Transitional Housing and Supportive Housing Page 6 of l~
All future development subject to the proposed use standard will require separate environmental
evaluation in order to determine that any potential impacts related to construction activity are less than
significant. Construction activities such as excavation, construction vehicle traffic and equipment and
wind blowing over exposed earth could generate exhaust emissions and fugitive particulate matter
emissions that could affect local and regional air quality, but the concentrations of these emissions aze
not anticipated to be substantial, and would be temporary. Construction activities are also a source of
organic gas emissions. Solvents in adhesives, non-water based paints, thinners, some insulation materials
and caulking materials would evaporate into the atmosphere and would participate in the photochemical
reaction that creates urban ozone. Asphalt used in paving is also a source of organic gases for a short
time after its application. ~ Construction vehicles would produce cumulatively insubstantial amounts of
ozone emissions. Short-term dust could potentially be produced during excavation and construction.
The BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines identify thresholds of significance for construction emissions.
BAAQMD's approach to CEQA analyses of construction impacts is to emphasize implementation of
effective and comprehensive control measures rather than detailed quantification of emissions. As there
is no development proposal associated with the zoning text amendment, all future development will
require separate environmental evaluation in order to determine that any potential impacts are less than
significant.
As part of the City of Campbell's environmental review, a green house gas (GHG) emission analysis is
typically prepared to address the provisions of Assembly Bill 33 (AB 32).' However, staff determined
that a GHG emission analysis was not required for this project. As discussed in Section 1? -
Popzzlation and Housing, the Project will not allow development beyond the anticipated build-out of
the General Plan. Therefore, as no unanticipated development will result from the Project, there is no
potential for a marked increase in vehicle trips that could lead to unforeseen GHG emissions.
(d-e): As the zoning text amendment pertains to use requirements and not a development proposal, the
Project will not directly result in the development of new buildings or infrastructure that could expose
sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations or create objectionable odors affecting a
substantial number of people.

regulatory standards for the handling, transport, storage, use, disposal, or disruption of hazardous
materials. Additionally, the City of Campbell General Plan specifically identifies uses that generate
substantial amourits of hazardous waste as prohibited uses. Therefore, the Project would not expose
persons or property to hazardous materials or conditions.

(a): The proposed zoning code text amendment pertains to modifying the zoning code to comply with
SB 2 (Local Planning and Approval for Emergency Shelters and Transitional and Supportive Housing)
and the' City's ?009 -?014 Housing Element. The revisions of the Project include allowing for
emergency shelters as a permitted use by right in the portion of the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district
bounded generally by Camden Avenue, Los Gatos Creek County Park, Hacienda Avenue and
Winchester Boulevard; transitional housing and supportive housing as permitted uses by right in
residential zoning district; manufactured housing in the R-1 zoning district as a permitted use by right
(subject to architectural requirements within the parameters of State law); Single Room Occupancy
facilities as a conditionally permitted use in the R-3 (Multiple Family) zoning district; and

family, nontransient, residential service facility (both small and large), single room occupancy facility,
supportive housing, target population and transitional housing.
Since the Project as a proposed zoning code text amendment pertains to uses in accordance with State
law and the City's 2009 - 2014 Housing Element, the project will not directly result in the
development of new buildings not already foreseen pursuant to the City's General Plan or
infrastructure that could physically divide the community. Development projects, subject to the new
use standards, however, will be reviewed in accordance with all applicable City zoning requirements
and State CEQA requirements.
(b): The City of Campbell General Plan is a guiding document for City policy. The 2009 - 2014
Housing Element is one of the required elements of the City's General Plan. New land-use related
policy actions must be consistent with the General Plan. The project would be consistent with the
following General Plan Land Use policies, strategies, and programs, and therefore not conflict with
any applicable land use plan or policy document:
Housing Element Policy:
Policy H-~.3a Zonine Text Amendments: As part of the Governmental Consvaints analysis for the Housing
Element update and pursuant to new requirements under SB 2, several revisions to the Campbell
Zoning Code have been identified as appropriate to better facilitate [he provision of a variety of
housing types. These zoning revisions include:
• Specifically List manufactured housing as a permitted use within the R-1 zone, subject to
architectural requirements within the parameters of State law.
• Revise the curzent zoning definition of "family" consistent with state and federal fair
housing laws.
• Add single loom occupancy (SRO) facilities within the Code's definition section, and
conditionally allow them within the R-3-S zone.
• Eliminate the CUP and spacing requirements for. transitional housing in residential zones.
• Identify emergency shelters as a permitted use in that portion of the M-1 zone bounded
generally by Camden Avenue, Los Gatos Creek County Park, Hacienda Avenue and
Winchester Boulevard. See Figure H-2.
Emergency shelters will be subject to the same development and operational standards as other
permitted uses in M-I zone. However, the City will develop written, objective standards to
regulate the following, as permitted under SB 2:
• The maximum number of beds,or persons permitted [o be served nightly by the facility;
• Off-street parking based on demonstrated need, but not to exceed parking requirements for
other residential or commercial uses in the same zone;
• The size and location of exterior and interior onsite waiting and client intake areas; ~
• The provision of onsite management;
• The proximity of other emergency shelters, provided that emergency shelters are not
required to be more than 300 feet apart;
M The length of stay;
• Lighting;
• Security during hours that the emergency shelter is in operation.

V. DETERVIINATION AND RECOMMENDATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
1. The City finds that the project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be re ared.
2." The City finds that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project ^
have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be re ared.
3. The City finds the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL MPACT REPORT is required.
4. The City finds that the proposed project may have a "potentially significant impact" or
"potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least one effect
1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, ^
and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on
attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must
analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
5. The City finds that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an
earlier E]R or Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been ^
avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Negative Declaration, including revisions
or miti ation measures that are im osed u on the ro osed ro'ect, nothing further is required.
