Environmental Findi

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.
Evidentiarv' Findinas
1. The proposed project is application for a Zoning Map Amendment (PLN2018-155) to
amend the Campbell Zoning Map to rezone the project site from R-1-9 (Single -Family
Residential) to P-D (Planned Development); a Planned Development Permit (PLN2018-
156) to allow construction of six two-story single=family homes, an accessory dwelling unit,
.a new private street, and associated site and landscaping improvements; a Tentative
Subdivision Map (PLN2018-157) to create six private lots and one common lot, and
associated public and private easements; a Variance (PLN2018-325) to allow retention of
existing overhead utility lines and installation of a new utility pole on private property to
serve the proposed development; and a Tree Removal Permit (PLN2018-158) to allow
removal of on -site protected trees.

Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The retention of ,the trees restricts the economic enjoyment of the property and creates an
unusual hardship for the property owner by severely limiting the use of the property in a
manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated properties, and
the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Council that there are no
reasonable alternatives to preserve the trees due to the number of site' constraints of the
infill site.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approves of a Tree Removal Permit
(PLN2018-158) to allow removal of on -site protected trees, subject to the attached Conditions
of Approval (attached Exhibit A).
