BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A FENCE EXCEPTION (PLN2004-
87) TO ALLOW SEVEN FOOT HIGH FENCING ON PROPERTY
OWNED BY THE CAMPBELL UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT LOCATED
AT 775 WALDO ROAD IN A P-F (PUBLIC FACILITIE) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MS. VIRGINIA FANELLI, ON BEHALF
OF CANYON HEIGHTS ACADEMY. FILE NO.: PLN2004-87.
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 PLN2004-87:
1. The Fence Exception at 775 Waldo Road consists of a seven-foot high cyclone fence located
around the preschool playground area and on a portion of the front property line along Waldo
Road where a IS-foot setback is typically required.
2. The proposed location of the fencing within the front yard setback would separate the
preschool playground area from the public right-of-way and provide a secure playground area
for the preschool age children.
3. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The fence exception does not impair vehicular or pedestrian safety.
2. The fence exception results in a more desirable site layout.
3. The fence exception will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or
general welfare of the City.
4. The fence exception will not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the
neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
5. 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Fence
Exception (PLN2004-87) to allow seven foot high fencing on property owned by the Campbell
Union School District located at 775 Waldo Road in a P-F (Public Facilities) Zoning District,
subject to the following conditions.
