CC Resolution 12214RESOLUTION NO. 12214
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL ADOPTING THE CAMPBELL VILLAGE
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN.
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 PLN2017-85 & 86:
Environmental Finding
1. The adoption of the Campbell Village Neighborhood Plan is considered a "project" under
Section 15378(a)(1) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
typically subject to environmental review. However, such an action may be exempted
from environmental review if the City finds that there is no possibility that it will have a
significant effect on the environment (Sec. 15061(b)(3)). Since the Campbell Village
Neighborhood Plan will not result in a physical impact or a significant effect on the
environment, the Campbell Village Neighborhood Plan may be found categorically
exempt pursuant to Sections 15060(c)2 (the activity will not result in a direct or
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)3 (the
activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California
Code of Regulations, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to
environment, directly or indirectly.
Evidentiary Findings
2. In October of 2012, the City annexed a pocket of residential and commercial properties
from San Jose and Santa Clara County which are now collectively referred to as the
"Campbell Village Neighborhood".
3. The Campbell Village Neighborhood is generally located east of Highway 17, north of
Camden Avenue, west of S. Bascom Avenue, and south of McGlincy Lane.
4. The Campbell Village Neighborhood Plan provides a map of the limits of the Campbell
Village Neighborhood Plan area.
5. The Campbell Village Neighborhood consists of approximately 485 parcels covering an
area of roughly 135 acres. The majority of these parcels are zoned residential with R-1-6
zoning in the Central Park "sliver" and R-1-8 within the Cambrian Village Area.
Approximately 23 parcels front Camden, Bascom, and Union Avenues which are zoned
Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and General Commercial (C-2).
6. The Campbell Village Neighborhood was developed in several phases over time
beginning in the 1940's through the 1980's.
7. Following the annexation process, area residences expressed a desire to adopt a street
improvement plan which subsequently became a Work Plan item for the Public Works
Division for FY 15/16. In response, the Public Works Department embarked on a series
of meetings with the Campbell Village Neighborhood Association (CVNA), intended to
identify appropriate streetscape improvements (curb/gutter/sidewalk) for various

roadway segments. While the meetings were focused on public improvements, it quickly
became apparent that there was a strong community interest in the development of a
`Neighborhood Plan', similar to the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP), to
consider the creation of area specific development standards (e.g. setbacks, lot
coverage restrictions, limits, permitted height).
8. Community meetings were held on October 6th, October 13th, and October 20th with the
Campbell Village Neighborhood to discuss public and private improvements and the
creation of a Neighborhood Plan for the Campbell Village area.
9. On December 6, 2016, staff held a Study Session with the City Council to provide a
status update on the Work Plan item and solicit feedback on next steps. In response, the
Council directed staff to hold one final community meeting, in an attempt to resolve a
number of outstanding items before proceeding to Planning Commission with a draft
Neighborhood Plan for formal public review. '
10.On January 19, 2017 staff held its final community meeting.
11.The Campbell Village Neighborhood Plan is consistent with the General Plan by
furthering Policy LUT-5.1 and Strategy LUT-5.2a, which speak to protecting the integrity
of the neighborhood and supporting the existing character of a neighborhood:
Policy LUT-5.1: Neighborhood Inte rite: Recognize that the City is composed of residential,
industrial and commercial neighborhoods, each with its own individual character; and allow
change consistent with reinforcing positive neighborhood values, while protecting the
integrity of the city's neighborhoods.
Strategy LUT-5.2a.: Ne~hborhood 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.
12. The legislature of the State of California has, in Government Code Sections 65302,
65560 and 65800, conferred upon local government units authority to adopt regulations
designed to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of its citizenry.
13. Review and adoption of the Campbell Village Area Neighborhood Plan is done in
compliance with California government Code Sections 65853 through 65857, which
required a duly noticed public hearing of the Planning Commission, and the Planning
Commission to provide its written recommendation to the City Council for its
consideration.
14.The Campbell Village Area Neighborhood Plan will not result in a physical impact or a
significant effect on the environment, and will not change the zoning or density of any
property within its area.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
