THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A ZONING' MAP

FILE NO.: PLN2018-177
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 (PLN2018-177):
Environmental Finding
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the proposed 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
1. The proposed project is application for a Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2018-177) to
rezone the project site from R-1-6 (Single -Family Residential) to P-D (Planned
Development); a Planned Development Permit (PLN2018-178) to allow construction of six
two-story single-family homes, a new private street, and associated site and landscaping
improvements; a Tentative Vesting Subdivision Map (PLN2018-179) to create six private
lots and one common lot, and associated public and private easements; and a Tree
Removal Permit (PLN2018-180) to allow removal of on -site "protected" trees.
2. The project site consists of two parcels located along Harriet Avenue between Elam and
Westmont Avenues, and is developed with two single-family residences that will be
demolished as part of the proposed project.
3. The project site abuts residentially zoned properties in all directions and a public assembly
to the north.
4. The project site is currently designated by the Campbell Zoning Map as R-1-6 (Single -
Family Residential, 6,000 Square -Foot Minimum Lot Size) and by the Campbell General
Plan Land Use Diagram as Low Density Residential (Less than 6 units/Gr. Acre).
5. An amendment to the Campbell Zoning Map to redesignate the project site to P-D
(Planned Development) is necessary to allow creation of new residential parcels that do
not have frontage upon a public street as permitted by Campbell Municipal Code (CMC)
Section 21.16.035 (Exception to access requirement).

6. The Zoning Map Amendment would be consistent with the following, General Plan
Strategy:
Strategy LUT-17.1a: General Plan/Zoning Amendments: Ensure that new General Plan or Zoning
amendments of property equal the predominant General Plan and/or Zoning
designations of parcels contiguous to, or directly across a public right-of-way from the
subject site.
7. As specified by the regulations for the Planned Development Zoning District, provided in
CMC Section 21.12.030.G.1 (Establishing the P-D zoning district), the Zoning Map
Amendment is proposed in conjunction and concurrent with a proposed "development
plan"'for the project site.
8. As specified by San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP) Land Use Policy 'M-1'
(Planned Development Zones), development of the project site in the proposed Planned
Development Zoning District shall conform with the standards for single family
development contained within the STANP and the Campbell Municipal Code, except that
private local access streets shall be permitted with a home owner's association (HOA).
9. As specified by San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan (STANP) Land Use Policy 1-1'
(General Plan/Zoning Amendments), the proposed zoning designation equals the
predominate zoning designation of parcels contiguous to, or directly across a public right-
of-way from the subject site.
10. As specified by the STANP Land Use Policy 'L' (General Plan/Zoning Amendments), a
notice containing the time, place and general purpose of the hearing was placed at the
project site at least 10 days prior to the Planning Commission's public hearing.,
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent -with the goals, policies, and actions of the General
Plan and all applicable development agreements, area plans, neighborhood plans, and
specific plan(s);
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or general welfare of the city; and
3. 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 that the City
Council adopt an ordinance (Exhibit A) approving a Zoning Map Amendment to amend the
Campbell Zoning Map designation from R-1-6 (Single -Family Residential) to P-D (Planned
Development) for property located at 880 and 910 Harriet Avenue.
