RESOLUTION NO. 3575
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL GRANTING A SITE AND
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PERMIT (PLN2004-55) TO RENEW
APPROVAL OF AN ANTENNA INSTALLATION ON THE
PARAPET OF AN EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING ON PROPERTY
OWNED BY MR. SCOTT COOLEY LOCATED AT 700 w.
HAMILTON AVENUE IN A C-2-S (GENERAL COMMERCIAL)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. T. ROGER HAAS.
FILE NO. PLN2004-55.
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 PLN2004-55:
1. Wireless telecommunication facilities are permitted in the C-2-S (General Commercial)
Zoning District. The Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance allows stealth co-
location sites to be approved at staff level by the Community Development Director by a Site
and Architectural Review Permit. The Community Development Director has the discretion
to alternately refer the matter the Planning Commission through the public hearing process.
Due to the location of the facility and the other telecommunication providers on the site the
Community Development Director has found that the project warrants review by the
Planning Commission.
2. AT&T would mount six panel antennas on each elevation towards the comer of the building at
the building parapet. The antennas will be painted to match the building wall colors.
3. The associated ground mounted equipment cabinets would add approximately 55 square feet to
the existing utility area The cabinets would be surrounded by a concrete masonry wall to blend
in with the surrounding area.
4. The installation of the wireless antenna facility will not have an impact on the existing
parking.
5. The location and mounting techniques are a preferred siting and mounting technique under
the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance.
6. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project under Section 15303, Class 3 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the construction of new small
facilities and structures.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:

1. The 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 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.
4. The project is compatible with the uses in the area.
5. The subject site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such use would generate.
6. 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.
7. 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 a Site and
Architectural Review Permit (PLN2004-55) to renew approval of an antenna installation on the
parapet of an existing office building on property owned by Mr. Scott Cooley located at 700 w.
