CC Resolution 12519RESOLUTION NO. 12519
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CAMPBELL
VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN TO INCORPORATE BY
REFERENCE THE PROPOSED CITY-WIDE ADU STANDARDS.
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 City Council finds as follows with regard to file number PLN2017-375:
1. The project consists of a Zoning Code Amendment to amend Titles 18, 20, and 21 of the
Campbell Municipal Code pertaining to the permitting, construction, affordability, and
usage of accessory dwelling units and an Amendment to the Campbell Village
Neighborhood Plan and a General Plan Amendment to the San Tomas Area
Neighborhood Plan to incorporate by reference the proposed City-wide ADU standards.
2. The proposed Area Plan Amendment would be consistent with the General Plan in that it
will allow the continued creation of accessory dwelling units consistent with Program H-
5.3a of the Housing Element:
Program H-5.3a: Secondary Dwelling Units: Provide for the infill of modestly priced rental housing by
encouraging secondary units in residential neighborhoods.
Program H-5.3a: Secondary Dwelling Units: A secondary dwelling unit is a separate dwelling unit that
provides complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons. It includes permanent
provisions for living, sleeping, cooking, eating, and sanitation on the same parcel as the primary unit is
situated. Given the limited developable land remaining in Campbell. integrating secondary dwelling
units in existing residential neighborhoods presents an opportunity for the City to accommodate needed
rental housing. The development of secondary dwelling units is effective in dispersing affordable
housing throughout the City and can provide housing to lower -income persons, including seniors and
college students. Approximately 1,000 single-family parcels in Campbell are of sufficient size to add a
secondary dwelling unit.
Implementation Obiective: The City will facilitate the construction of new secondary dwelling units by
making information available to the public.
3. The Area Plan Amendment is consistent with applicable legislation adopted by the State
of California while maintaining locally appropriate standards for the construction and
occupancy of accessory dwelling units.
4. The legislature of the State of California has, in Government Code Sections 65302,
65560 and 65800, conferred upon local governments the authority to adopt regulations
designed to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of its citizenry.
5. Review and adoption of this Area Plan Amendment is done in compliance with California
government Code Sections 65853 through 65857, which require a duly noticed public
hearing of the Planning Commission whereby the Planning Commission shall provide its
written recommendation to the City Council for its consideration.
