BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL APPROVING A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT (PLN2016-
280) TO ALLOW REMOVAL OF TWO WALNUT TREES ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 96 E. RINCON AVENUE.
FILE NO.: PLN2016-280
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The City Council finds as follows with regard to file number PLN2016-280:
1. The project site is located along Rincon Avenue, between 3rd and 4th streets.
2. The project site is zoned P-D (Planned Development) on the City of Campbell Zonirig
Map.
3. The project site is designated Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 units/gr. acre)
on the City of Campbell General Plan Land Use diagram. '
4. The project site is not a "Developed single-family residential property" because it can
be subdivided into additional lots under its current zoning designation. As such, any
tree measuring 12-inches or greater in diameter is classified as a "protected" tree.
5. The proposed project is an application for a Planned Development Permit (PLN2016-
47) that would allow demolition of the existing residence and construction of two
single-family residences, including a primary residence at the front of the property
and smaller residence at the rear of the property. The proposed project also includes
a Tree Removal Permit (PLN2016-280) to allow removal of two Walnut trees.
6. As confirmed by an Arborist Report prepared on behalf of the City, the walnut trees
proposed to be removed are in a poor condition.
7. The subject trees are not healthy, mature, nor scenic.
8. The removed trees will be replaced with new trees as required by the City's Tree
Preservation Ordinance.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes
that:
1. The trees are diseased or presents a danger of falling that cannot be controlled or
remedied through reasonable preservation and/or preventative procedures and
practices such that the public health or safety requires its removal.
2. Removal of the trees is Categorically Exempt under Section 15304 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, pertaining to alterations to landscaping.
