BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL GRANTING A SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW PERMIT (PLN2002-148) TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE ON PROPERTY OWNED
BY ROBERT AND JANA ZUVELA LOCATED AT 1121 STEINWAY
AVENUE IN AN R-I-10 (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. CHARLES BROWN, ON BEHALF
OF ROBERT AND JANA ZUVELA. FIIJE NO. PLN2002-148.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the heating was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2002-148:
The density of the proposed project site is 3.3 units per gross acre, which is consistent with
the General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (less than 4.5 units per
gross acre.)
The proposed project is consistent with the R-l-10 (Single-Family Residential, 10,000 square
foot minimum lot size) Zoning District and meets the minimum setbacks, height restriction,
building coverage, floor area ratio, and parking requirements of the R-l-10 Zoning District.
3. The project is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines of the San
Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan.
The project consists of a new 3,103 square foot single-family residence, a 545 square foot
attached garage, and a 54 square foot covered porch with a building coverage of 35% and
Floor Area Ratio of 0.35.
5. The project provides four parking spaces where two parking spaces are required.
o
The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood. The single-story design minimizes the perceived scale and mass of the
residence and is compatible with the adjacent residences that are single-story.
A ten-foot setback is provided from the western side property line and an eight-foot setback
is provided from the eastern side property line. A twenty-five foot setback is provided from
the rear and front property lines.
The proposed single-story residence incorporates representative architectural features of
homes in the San Tomas Neighborhood including hipped roof forms, a two-car garage door,
composition shingle roofing, stucco siding, and a simple front porch. Additional elements
include decorative porch pillars and stone veneer treatment on the base of the front facade.

9. The proposed project is surrounded by single-family residential uses to the north, south, and
east and west.
10. The project qualifies as Categorically Exempt under Section 15303, Class 3 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the construction of one single-family
residence.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the
immediate area.
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.
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 between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and
the type of development project.
6. 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 (PLN2002-148) to allow a the construction of a new single-family
residence on property owned by Robert and Jana Zuvela located at 1121 Steinway Avenue,
