PC Res 4403RESOLUTION NO. 4403
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION (PLN2017-154) FOR A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION
MAP (PLN2016-318), SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PERMIT
(PLN2017-153), AND TREE REMOVAL PERMIT (PLN2017-155), ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1180 ABBOTT AVENUE.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the Planning Commission
did determine that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration provides full and
adequate environmental review for approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map (PLN2016-
318), Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2017-153), and a Tree Removal Permit
(PLN2017-155) to allow the development of seven units on property located at 1180
Abbott Avenue.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to recommended adoption of a
Mitigated Negative Declaration (PLN2017-154):
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 (PLN2017-154)
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
1. The proposed project ("project") includes a Tentative Subdivision Map to create
seven residential lots (PLN2016-318), Site and Architectural Review Permit for each
of the seven residential structures (PLN2017-153), a Tree Removal Permit to allow
for the removal of three protected trees (PLN2017-155), and a Mitigated Negative
Declaration to satisfy CEQA requirements (PLN2017-154).
2. The project site consists of an 88,446 square foot lot (gross site area) located on
Abbott Avenue, east of Laurance Hill Court. Abutting land uses include single-family
residences to the north, south, east, and west.
3. The site is currently developed with one single-family residence and several
accessory structures that will be demolished as part of the project.
4. The subject parcel is zoned R-1-9 (Single Family Residential) as shown on the
Campbell Zoning Map and designated Low Density Residential (<4.5 units/gr. acre)
as shown on the Campbell General Plan Map.
5. The subject parcel is within the boundaries of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood
Plan (STANP) Plan, as incorporated within the Campbell General Plan, Appendix A1.

6. The proposed density of approximately 3.27 units per gross acre is consistent with
the maximum density permitted by the Low Density Residential (< 4.5 units/gr. acre)
General Plan land use designation.
7. 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
conditions of approval and mitigation measures.
8. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) to the public via the Campbell Express, the County Clerk, and on
the City website. The NOI included a 20-day public review period pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day public review period
began on May 11, 2017 and the public was invited and encouraged to submit
comments in writing regarding the draft MND and/or attend the June 27th Planning
Commission Public Hearing. No comments have been received on the draft MND.
9. A draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared
demonstrating the responsible party and phase of the project that each Mitigation
Measure shall be carried out.
10. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included
as Conditions of Approval for the Tentative Subdivision Map (PLN2016-318).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument
could be made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the
required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the
environment.
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of
the Planning Commission.
3. The Custodian of the Record for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study
is the Community Development Department of the City of Campbell, located at 70
North First Street, Campbell, California.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission adopts a Mitigated
Negative Declaration (PLN2017-154) (Exhibit "A") for a Tentative Subdivision Map
(PLN2016-318), Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2017-153), and a Tree
Removal Permit (PLN2017-155) to allow the development of seven units on property
located at 1180 Abbott Avenue.
