BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A ZONING
MAP AMENDMENT (PLN2017-100) TO CHANGE THE ZONING
DISTRICT DESIGNATION FROM R-M (MUILITPLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL) TO P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) FOR THE
PROJECT LOCATED AT 1323 ELAM AVENUE.
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 the recommended approval of a
Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2017-100):
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 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
The proposed project ("project") includes a Planned Development Permit (PLN2017-
101) for the approval of site configuration and architectural design for four two-story
single-family homes, Tentative Subdivision Map (PLN2017-102) to create four single-
family lots and one commonly owned lot, Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2017-100) to
change the zoning from R-M (Multiple-Family Residential) to P-D (Planned
Development), Parking Modification Permit (PLN2017-338) to allow for two of the
required assigned/uncovered parking spaces, to be provided as uncovered guest
parking.
2. The project site consists of a single parcel (18,152 sq. ft. net / 20,027sq. ft. gross)
located on the north side of Elam Avenue between Inwood Drive and San Tomas
Aquino Road.
3. The 18,152 square foot lot is currently developed with one single-family residence that
will be demolished as part of the proposed subdivision.
4. Abutting land uses include single-family homes to the east and west, an apartment
community to the north, and single-family homes across Elam Avenue to the south.
5. The proposed subdivision will require a 5-foot dedication along Elam Avenue, which will
reduce the net lot area of the property from 18,152 square-feet to 17,776.90 square
feet.
6. The project site is zoned R-M (Residential Multifamily) as shown on the Campbell
Zoning Map and will be rezoned to P-D (Planned Development).

Paqe 2 of 2
7. The project site is designated Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 Units / Gr. Acre)
as shown on the Campbell General Plan Map.
8. The proposed residential land use, at a density of 8.71 units/gr. acre, is consistent with
the allowable land use and maximum density permitted by the Low-Medium Density
Residential General Plan land use designation and would be permitted by the P-D
Zoning district with the approval of a Planned Development Permit and associated land
use entitlements.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
9. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the
General Plan.
10. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or general welfare of the city.
11. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this
Zoning Code.
12. The parcel is physically suitable (including absence of physical constraints, access,
compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for the requested zoning
designation(s) and anticipated land uses/project.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends approval of a
Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2017-100) to change the zoning district designation from R-M
(Multiple-Family Residential) to P-D (Planned Development) for the property located at 1323
Elam Avenue, as depicted by Exhibit A.
