PC Res 4385RESOLUTION NO. 4385 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PERMIT (PLN2017-61) TO ALLOW FORA 561 SQUARE-FOOT FIRST FLOOR ADDITION TO THE FRONT OF AN EXISTING 2,363 SQUARE-FOOT TWO-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY HOME RESULTING IN A FLOOR AREA RATIO EXCEEDING 45 PERCENT (47 PERCENT PROPOSED) ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 447 KINGS COURT. 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 Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to file number PLN2017-61: Environmental Finding 1. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to minor alterations to existing private structures. Evidentiary Findings 1. The project site is zoned R-1-6 (Single Family Residential) on the City of Campbell Zoning Map. 2. The project site is designated Low Density Residential (<6 units/gr. acre) on the City of Campbell General Plan Land Use diagram. 3. The project site is asingle-family residential property located at the north side of King Court, east of Llewellyn Avenue, west of Carlyn Avenue, south of Hamilton Avenue, and north of Latimer Avenue. 4. The project would allow fora 561 square-foot first floor addition to the front of an existing 2,363 square-foot two-story single-family home resulting in a floor area ratio exceeding 45% (47% proposed). 5. The project requires review and approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit due the proposed floor area ratio exceeding 45 percent. 6. The project incorporates steps and breaks in otherwise long building walls to reduce mass and enhance visual interest. 7. The project uses different materials and finish to break up the fagade and keep the home from appearing too massive or boxy. 8. The design results in living area and the front entry being brought closer to the street (currently 40-feet away) and therefore more in line with adjacent homes and homes in the surrounding area. Planning Commission Resolution No. 447 Kings Court -Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2017-61) Page 2 of 3 9. The building architecture and material selections are responsive to the existing building and neighborhood context which exhibits similar/matching features and designs. 10. The overall building height would not be increased and is well below what is allowed (22-feet vs. 35-feet allowed). 11. While the home would be among the largest on Kings Court, other homes on the street could be up to 50% larger without discretionary review due to their larger lot sizes. 12. The addition is limited to the first floor and is 116 square-feet larger than what would be permitted `by-right' through a ministerial building permit and zoning clearance process. 13. 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. 14. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of Approval and the impacts of the project. 15. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and the type of development project. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code Sec. 21.09.030 (Table 2-3) and 21.42.060(8) the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The project will be consistent with the General Plan; 2. The project will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area; 3. The project is consistent with applicable adopted design guidelines; 4. The perceived scale and mass of the home is compatible with the adjacent homes and the homes in the surrounding area; and 5. The home minimizes the use of design features that make it appear significantly larger than the adjacent homes and homes in the surrounding area. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves a Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2017-61) to allow fora 561 square-foot first floor addition to the front of an existing 2,363 square-foot two-story single-family home resulting in a floor area ratio exceeding 45% (47% proposed) on property located at 447 Kings Court, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval (attached Exhibit "A").
