PC Res 4482RESOLUTION NO. 4482 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (PLN2018-220) TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF TWO SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES WITH AN EXCEPTION TO THE ACCESS REQUIREMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1806 WHITE OAKS ROAD. 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 Planned Development Permit (PLN2018-220): 1. The proposed project ("project") includes a Tentative Parcel Map (PLN2018-218) to create two single-family lots; a Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2018-219) to rezone the project site from R-1-6 (Single -Family Residential) to P-D (Planned Development); and a Planned Development Permit (PLN2018-220) to allow construction of two single- family homes with an exception to the access requirement. 2. The project site consists of a single parcel (18,634 sq. ft. net and gross) located on the east side of White Oaks Road between Shelley Avenue and White Oaks Court. 3. The property is currently developed with one single-family residence and several accessory structures that will be demolished as part of the proposed project. 4. Abutting land uses include single-family homes to the north, south, and west, and an apartment community to the east. 5. The proposed subdivision will require a 30-foot dedication along White Oaks Road, which will reduce the net lot area of the property from 18,634 square feet to 16,369 square feet. 6. The project site is zoned R-1-6 (Single -Family Residential) as shown on the Campbell Zoning Map and will be rezoned to P-D (Planned Development). 7. The project site is designated Low Density Residential (Less than 6 Units / Gr. Acre) as shown on the Campbell General Plan Map. 8. The proposed residential land use, at a density of 4.6 units/gr. acre, is consistent with the allowable land use and maximum density permitted by the Low Density Residential General Plan land use designation. 9. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map (PLN2018-218) may be approved concurrently, and subject to a Planned Development Permit (PLN2018-220) and Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2018-219). 10. The project would be consistent with the following General Plan policies and strategies: Planning Commission Resolution No..4482 PLN2018-220 -1806 White Oaks Road - Rec. Approval of a Planned Development Permit Page 2 of 4 Policy LUT-3.1: Variety of Residential Densities: Provide land use categories for and maintenance of a variety of residential densities to offer existing and future residents of all income levels, age groups and special needs sufficient opportunities and. choices for locating in Campbell. Policy LUT-5.2: Residential Neighborhoods: Maintain safe, attractive, pedestrian friendly residential neighborhoods with identifiable centers and consistent . development patterns and a range of public and private services. Strategy LUT-5.2a: Neighborhood 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. 11. The project proposes two (2) two-story single-family homes in a flag lot configuration. 12. The project requires a Planned Development Permit to allow an exception to the access requirement for the rear lot for a 14-foot wide access way where 15 feet is required. 13. The project would result in the creation of a 6,366 square -foot front lot and an 8,544 square -foot rear lot (exclusive of the 1,459 access way) that conform to the minimum lot size and minimum lot width of the R-1-6 zoning district. 14. The lot is less than one inch too narrow to allow a subdivision in compliance with both the minimum 60-foot lot width and minimum 15-foot wide access way required as an R-1-6 property. 15. The access exception to allow the subdivision is a minor deviation from what would otherwise be a routine subdivision. 16. There are two existing R-1-6 flag lots along the east side of White Oaks Road. 17. In the R-1-6 zoning district, the maximum floor area ratio is 45%, the maximum lot coverage is 40%, and the maximum building height is 35 feet. 18. For the project's front lot, the floor area ratio is 45%, the lot coverage is 32%, and the building height is 28 feet. 19.. For the project's rear lot, the floor area ratio is 45% exclusive of the access way, the lot coverage is 36% exclusive of the access way, and the building height is 30 feet. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4482 PLN2018-220 -1806 White Oaks Road - Rec. Approval of a Planned Development Permit Page 3 of 4 20. The project's layout of the front and rear homes meet or exceed the setback standards of the R J-6 zoning district. 21. The homes are consistent with the City's Design Guidelines for Single -Family Homes. 22. In review of the proposed project, the Planning Commission considered the site circulation, traffic congestion, and traffic safety effects of the project, including the effect of the site development plan on traffic conditions on abutting streets; the layout of the site with respect to locations and dimensions of vehicular and pedestrian entrances, exit driveways, and walkways; the arrangement and adequacy of off-street parking facilities to prevent traffic congestion; the location, arrangement, and dimensions of truck loading and unloading facilities; the circulation patterns within the boundaries of the development, and; the surfacing and lighting of the off-street parking facilities; 23. The Planning Commission further considered the landscaping design of the proposed project, including the location, height, and material offences, walls, hedges, and screen plantings to ensure harmony with adjacent development or to conceal storage areas, utility installations,, and other unsightly aspects of the development; the planting of groundcover or other surfacing to prevent dust and erosion, and the preservation of existing healthy trees; 24. The Planning Commission further considered the proposed project's architectural and site layout, including the general silhouette and mass, including location on the site, elevations, and relation to natural plant coverage, all in relationship to the surrounding neighborhood; the exterior design in relation to adjoining structures in terms of area, bulk, height, openings, and breaks in the facade facing the street; and appropriateness and compatibility of the proposed uses in relation to the adjacent uses and the area as a whole. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed development will clearly result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning district classification. 2. The proposed development will be compatible with the General Plan of the City, and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 3. The proposed development will not result in allowing more residential units than would be allowed by other residential zoning districts, which are consistent with the General Plan designation of the property. 4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. 5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of Approval and the impacts of the project. Planning Commission Resolution No. 4482 PLN2018-220 -1806 White Oaks Road - Rec. Approval of a Planned Development Permit Page 4 of 4 6. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and the type of development project.. 7. The project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act as there is no possibility for the project to have a significant effect on the environment under CEQA Section 15061.b.3 and pursuant to Section 15315, Class 15, pertaining to the division of property in urbanized areas into four or fewer parcels.
