does ordain as follows:
The City Council finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2013-337
Environmental Findin
1. On the basis of the Infill Environmental Checklist, and as supported by substantial
evidence, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment due to
mitigation measures adopted in a previous Environmental Impact Report (EIR),
application of uniformly applicable development policies, and incorporation of project-
specific mitigation measures agreed to by the project proponent, as specified by the
draft Mitigated Negative Declaration. ,
Evidentiary Findings
2. The proposed project ("project") is a planned residential development consisting of 81
townhome units (fee title ownership), 19 apartment (rental) units, and associated on-
and off-site improvements, as well as removal of existing on-site trees. The project
includes applications for a Planned Development Permit, Vesting Tentative Subdivision
Map, and a Tree Removal Permit.
3. The project site is a 4'/z acre assemblage of ten properties, including three associated
with the former Biddle Roofing company, two encompassing the Haig Precision
machining company, four single-family rental properties, one property developed with a
multi-tenant industrial building, as well as a small (less than a quarter acre) portion of
the City's corporation yard.
4. The project site is generally located near the southeast intersection of Sam Cava Lane
and Dillon Avenue, abutting the Campbell Public Works Maintenance Corporation Yard
to the south and the Los Gatos Creek Trail to the west.
5. The project site is zoned P-D (Planned Development) as shown on the Campbell
Zoning Map.
City Council Resolution
Approval of a Planned Development Permit
File No.: PLN2013-337
Page 2
6. The project site is designated Commercial/Med.-High Density Residential (14-27
units/gr. acre) and High Density Residential (21-27 units/gr. acre) as shown on the
Campbell General Plan Map. A portion of the project site is within the boundaries of the
South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Plan, as incorporated within the Campbell General
Plan Appendix Al-3.
7. The proposed Planned Development Permit will allow construction of construction of 81
townhome units on individual lots, three apartment (rental) buildings, and associated
on-site improvements including private roadways, pedestrian pathways, guest parking
spaces, recreational open space, and landscaping.
8. The proposed Planned Development Permit may be approved concurrently, and
subject to, a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map.
9. The proposed residential land use, at a density of 21 units/gr. acre, is consistent with
.the allowable land use and maximum density permitted by the Commercial/Med.-High
Density Residential (14-27 units/gr. acre) and High Density Residential (21-27 units/gr.
acre) General Plan land use designations.
10. The project would be consistent with the following SOCA and General Plan policies
and strategies. These policies encourage high quality development that is oriented to
the public street, and which is sensitive of the interface with the Los Gatos Creek Trail.
• Policy LUT-16.2: Building Orientation: Orient buildings to a public street.
• Strategy LUT-16.2a: Residential Entries: Locate building entries facing the streets for all residential
units located aldng a public street.
• Strategy LUT-16.2c: Visibility: Ensure that Residential projects are designed to provide visibility into
the core of the project where the project adjoins streets or the Los Gatos Creek Trail. Public parking
for trail users is encouraged.
• Policy LUT-16.3: Building and Site Design: Encourage high quality building and site design in the
SOCA Area
• Strategy LUT-16.3a: Residential Entries: Design and Landscape screen structures within SOCA area
to minimize the perceived mass of the building as viewed from the Los Gatos Creek Trail and to
enhance the project's appearance as viewed from Highway 17.
• Strategy LUT-16.2b: Access to Los Gatos Creek Trail: Ensure the provision of public
pedestrian/bicycle • access points to the Los Gatos Creek Trail for new development and
redevelopment in the SOCA Area.
11. The project would also be consistent with the following General Plan policies and
strategies specified herein that encourage an overall "smart-growth" approach to
development within the City in that it would place high density, transit-oriented housing
in proximity to the Campbell Light Rail Station and Downtown Campbell:
City Council Resolution
Approval of a Planned Development Permit
File No.: PLN2013-337
Page 3
• Strategy LUT-1.5a: Transit-Oriented Development: Encourage transit-oriented developments
including employment centers such as office and research and development facilities and the city's
highest density residential projects by coordinating the location, intensity, and mix of land uses with
transportation resources, such as Light Rail.
• Strategy LUT-2.11: Public Transit: Coordinate with regional transportation agencies including VTA
and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to improve public transportation service and
promote public transit as a viable alternative to driving, particularly within the Priority Development
Areas (PDA). ~
Strategy LUT-3.1c: High Density Residential: Allow higher residential densities in the North of
Campbell Area (NOCA), South of Campbell Area (SOCA), and areas near the Light Rail stations as
an incentive to redevelop older, less intensive uses (see individual plans for allowed densities)
accessible to public transit.
12. The project would also be consistent with the following Housing Element strategy that
encourages residential projects located within '/< mile of a light-rail station to be,
developed with at least 75% of the maximum allowable density:
• Policy H-4.3: Planned For Densities: To encourage the efficient and sustainable use of land, the City
encourages residential development that is proposed near existing light rail stations (within 1/4 mile
radius) and/or within the boundaries of the Winchester Boulevard Plan and East Campbell Avenue
plan areas, to achieve at least 75 percent of the maximum General Plan Land Use category
densities.
13. As conditioned, the project will provide 195 private (garage) parking spaces and 50
guest parking spaces, where 195 private (garage) parking spaces and 50 guest parking
spaces are required, as well as four motorcycle parking spaces
14. The Planning Commission authorized the Community Development Director to review
and approve site configuration and architectural changes administratively without the
need to return to the Commission, consistent with the conditions of approval.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes
that:
The proposed development will clearly result in a more desirable environment and use
of the land than would be possible under any other zoning district classification.
2. The proposed development will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will
aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
The proposed development will not result in allowing more residential units than would
be allowed by other residential zoning districts, which are consistent with the General
Plan designation of the property.
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.

5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions
of Approval and the impacts of the project.
6. There'is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upoh the
project and the type of development project.
7. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could
be made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required
conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
