After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The City Council finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2015-23
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 On February 24 2015 the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council
designate the above referenced properties for Historic Resource Inventory designation
on a 6-0-1 vote.
2. 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
3 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
4 Historic resources have intrinsic value and are an important part of modern life and
should be identified for the community's knowledge and benefit.
r
5 Of the City's 17 000 housing units, less than 1 5% have been designated as historic
resources or are currently under consideration for designation.
6 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.
7 Managing information about historical resources and making informed decisions
regarding historic resources is a critical step in the planning process.

strategy to maintain and update an inventory of historic resources for use in
evaluating development proposals and determining if sites or buildings are of local,
State or federal significance.

Section 21 33.060(D) the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
1 The proposed historic resource inventory properties possess significant aesthetic,
architectural, cultural, or engineering interest or value of an historical nature.
2. An undue hardship has not been demonstrated by the owners of the properties
proposed for designation
3 Approval of the identified properties for addition to the historic resource inventory
properties is consistent with the purposes and criteria of City of Campbell Historic
Preservation Ordinance and the General Plan.
