PC Res 3634
RESOLUTION NO. 3634
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A TREE REMOV AL
PERMIT (PLN2005-10) FOR THE REMOV AL OF ONE MONTEREY PINE
TREE ON PROPERTY OWNED BY MR. AXEL JONAS SON LOCATED AT
1822 W. HACIENDA AVENUE IN A P-D (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. BRUCE BOWEN, ON
BEHALF OF B&C HOMES, INe. FILE NO: PLN2005-10
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2005-1 0
1. The proposed Tree Removal Permit is consistent with Low-Medium Density General Plan
land use designation and PD (Planned Development) Zoning District.
2. The project will include the removal of one protected tree (a 14-inch diameter Monterey Pine
Tree) because it would prohibit the construction of the new residence and driveway while
maintaining required setbacks and yard areas.
3. The thirteen 24-inch box replacement trees exceed the tree replacement requirements of the
Tree Protection Regulations.
4. The proposed replacement trees will be a sufficient replacement for the trees to be removed
and will continue the diversity of tree species found in the community.
5. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project concluding that there are
no significant unmitigated impacts associated with this project, pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The retention of the tree 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 Planning Commission that there are
no reasonable alternatives to preserve the trees due to the number of site constraints of the
infill site.
2. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be
made that shows that the project, as currently presented and subject to the required conditions
of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
3. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of
approval and the impacts of the project.
