Environmental Finding
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the project which provides documentation for
the factual basis for concluding that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (PLN2016-37)
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 as conditioned.
Evidentiary Findings
2. The proposed project ("project") includes a Planned Development Permit (PLN2016-
34) for the approval of site configuration, architectural design and to create residential
lots which do not have frontage on a public street, Tentative Subdivision Map
(PLN2016-36) to create four developable single family lots and one commonly owned
lot, Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2016-35) to change the zoning from R-1-6 (Single-
Family Residential) to P-D (Planned Development), and Parking Modification Permit
(PLN2016-222) to allow uncovered parking in lieu of covered.
3. The project site is a 33,263 square-foot property located on the west side of Parsons
Avenue, south of Camden Avenue, and north of Sharp Avenue.

commercial uses border the property to the north and east.

as part of the proposed subdivision.

8. The project site is designated Low Density Residential (<6 Units / Gr. Acre) as shown
on the Campbell General Plan Map.
9. The proposed residential land use, at a density of approximately 5 units/gr. acre, is
consistent with the allowable land use and maximum density permitted by the Low
Density Residential (< 6 units per gross acre) General Plan land use designation.
10. The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map may be approved concurrently, and subject
to a Planned Development Permit, and Zoning Map Amendment.
11. The project would be consistent with the following General Plan policies and
strategies:

and maintenance of a variety of residential densities to offer
existing and future residents of all income levels, age groups and
special needs sufficient opportunities and choices for locating in
Campbell.
Strategy LUT-5.2a: Neighborhood Compatibility: Promote new residential
development and substantial additions that are designed to
maintain and support the existing character and development
pattern of the surrounding neighborhood, especially in historic
neighborhoods and neighborhoods with consistent design
characteristics.

affected by the project.
15. On the basis of the Initial Study, and as supported by substantial evidence, the project
will not have a significant effect on the environment due to the 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.
16. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration to the public via the Campbell Express, the County Clerk, and on the City
website.
