The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2015-358:
Environmental Finding
An Initial Study has been prepared for the Pruneyard Shopping Center and Offices
Expansion Project ("Proposed Project") which provides documentation for the factual
basis for concluding that a Mitigated Negative Declaration may 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 Findings
The Project Site is The Pruneyard Shopping Center and Offices, a 27 acre multi-use
property encompassing three professional office buildings, ahotel, amulti-building
retail shopping center, and amulti-level parking garage. The property is bounded by
Bascom and Campbell Avenues to the east and south, Highway 17 to'the west, and the
Pruneridge Plaza Apartments and the Campisi Way terminus to the north.
2. The Project Site is within the C-2 (General Commercial) Zoning District and the C-2-O
(General Commercial/Overlay) Combining Zoning District as depicted on the Campbell
Zoning Map adopted pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code Section 21.040.030.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 4335
Recommending Approval of a Master Use Permit
Page 2
3. The Project Site is designated by the General Plan Land Use Diagram as General
Commercial, which corresponds with the above referenced Zoning District
designations.
4. The Pruneyard Shopping Center and Offices Expansion Project ("Proposed Project")
consists of the following components:
• Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2015-357): To amend the Campbell Zoning Map to
rezone a portion of The Pruneyard from the C-2 (General Commercial) Zoning
District to the C-2-O (General Commercial /Overlay) Combining Zoning District for
a consistent zoning designation over the entire property.
• Master Use Permit (PLN2015-358): To allow the construction of a 100,000 square-
foot (5-story) office building, four retail buildings constituting 18,600 square-feet, a
30,000 square-foot fitness facility or a 12,000 square-foot retail/office building,
expansion of thg existing parking structure (3 or 5 stories), various site
improvements, alterations to existing buildings, establishment of a new land use
program including specifying permitted and conditional uses, continued allowance
of a shared parking program, and implementation of a transportation demand
management program (TDM):
• Tentative Vesting Parcel Map (PLN2015-77): To allow division of the property into
three parcels. .
• Tree Removal Permit (PLN2015-335): To allow removal of on-site "protected"
trees.
• Master Sign Plan with a Freeway Oriented Sign (PLN2015-78): To allow a new
comprehensive signage scheme including afreeway-oriented sign, ari increase in
sign area, height, and number.
• Zoning Text Amendment (PLN2015-76): To revise various sections of the
Campbell Zoning Code (Title 21 of the Campbell Municipal Code) to reference the
land ~ use program created by the Master Use Permit and to allow the signage
proposed by the Master Sign Plan.
5. As noted above, the Master Use Permit is part of the overall Proposed Project and has
been reviewed in conjunction with all other aspects of the Proposed Project.
6. The Master Use Permit is adopted pursuant to the provisions of the Overlay Combining
Zoning District, which requires adoption of a Conditional Use Permit to create,
establish, erect, construct, enlarge, place, or install any building, structure, or use.
7. Approval of a Zoning Code Amendment adopted by separate ordinance will amend the
provisions of the Overlay Combining Zoning District to specify that the Conditional Use
Permit for a regional commercial center shall be known as a "Master Use Permit". The
proposed Master Use Permit will be consistent with the provisions of the Overlay
Combining Zoning District with adoption of the aforementioned ordinance.
8. The Pruneyard Shopping Center and Offices meets the definition of a regional
commercial center.
Planning Commission Resolution No. 4335 Page 3
Recommending Approval of a Master Use Permit
9. The entirety of Project Site will be within the Overlay Combining Zoning District with
approval of a Zoning Map Amendment adopted by separate ordinance.
10.The Overlay Combining District is intended to provide modifications, additions and
limitations to zoning districts to meet special conditions and situations concerning
properties within such zoning districts that cannot otherwise be treated satisfactorily.
11. The multi-use nature of The Pruneyard Shopping Center and Offices, including a retail
shopping center, a hotel, and three office buildings, its shared parking arrangement
between the different uses, the incremental development over several decades, as well
as the overall scale of the Project Site, constitute a special condition and situation.
12. By provision of a numeric maximum for liquor licenses with the Master Use Permit, it is
affirmatively determined that there is not an overconcentration of alcohol service
establishments or an undue proximity of off-site alcoholic sales establishments within
The Pruneyard.
13. The Planning Commission has considered traffic safety, traffic congestion, and site
circulation, including the effect of the site development plan on traffic conditions on
abutting streets, the layout of the site with respect to locations and dimensions of
vehicular and pedestrian entrances, exit driveways and walkways, the arrangement
~~ and adequacy of off-street parking facilities to prevent traffic congestion, the location,
arrangement and dimensions of truck loading and unloading facilities, the circulation
patterns within the boundaries of the development; and the surfacing and lighting of off-
street parking facilities. `_
14. The Planning Commission has also considered landscaping improvements, including
the the location, height arid material of walls, fences, hedges, and screen plantings to
insure harmony with adjacent development or to conceal storage areas, utility
installations or other unsightly development, the planting of ground cover or other
surfacing to prevent dust and erosion; and the unnecessary destruction of existing
healthy trees.
15. The Planning Commission has also considered the building and site layout, including
thee general silhouette and mass of buildings, including location on the site, elevations
and relation to natural plant coverage, all in relationship. to the neighborhood, the
exterior design of buildings in relation to adjoining structures in height, bulk, and area
openings, breaks in the facade facing on the street, line and pitch of roof, and
arrangement of structures on the parcel, and special conditions and situations
concerning the property and the adjoining properties.
16. Consideration of the above referenced matters includes the preparation and
conclusions of professional reports prepared for the Proposed Project, including a
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA), a Site Plan Evaluation (within the TIA), a Parking
Demand and Supply Analysis (peer-reviewed by the TIA consultant), and a report by
the City's Architectural Advisor.
17. Consideration of the above referenced matters also reflects an understanding that the
parking within the Project Site operates under a shared parking scheme that accounts
Planning Commission Resolution No. 4335
Recommending Approval of a Master Use Permit
Page 4
for daily variability among differing land uses. As demonstrated by the Parking Demand
and Supply Analysis and as confirmed by the Traffic Impact Analysis, the Project Site
will be adequately parked.
18. Properties within the Overlay Combining Zoning District are not subject to the City's
standard parking requirements due to the special conditions and situations; therefore, a
Parking Modification Permit is not necessary
19.The approval duration of the Master Use Permit is consistent with the Campbell
Municipal Code that allows the City to establish expiration dates within a permit or
project approval.
20.The Master Use Permit, specifically including its land use program, is consistent with
purpose and intent the General Commercial Land Use Designation.

23. The design of the proposed 5-story, 75-foot tall office building was reviewed in terms of
its consistency with General Plan Strategy LUT-14.6, which specifically notes that
building heights should be reduced towards the adjacent streets, with taller buildings
located within the interior of the Pruneyard/Creekside area. The Planning Commission
determined that the Option 1 office building, when incorporating the ground and top -
floor step-backs of the Option 2 building, would achieve consistency with the Strategy.
The required redesign of the building would need. to follow this design direction to
minimize its massing and building height as perceived from Campbell Avenue.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The uses (permitted and conditional) allowed by the Master Use Permit are allowed
within the C-2 General Commercial Zoning District, and comply with all other applicable
provisions of this Zoning Code and the Campbell Municipal Code;
2. The Master Use Permit is consistent with the General Plan;
3. The Project Site is adequate in terms of size and shape to accommodate the fences
and walls, landscaping, parking and loading facilities, yards, and other development
features required in order to integrate the use with uses in the surrounding area;
4. The Project Site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind
and quantity of traffic the use would be expected to generate;
5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the development approved
by the Master Use Permit are compatible with the existing and future land uses on-site
and in the vicinity of the subject property;
6. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the Master Use Permit on the Project
Site will not be detrimental to the comfort, health, morals, peace, safety, or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use, or be
