PC Res 3650
RESOLUTION NO. 3650
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL DENYING A MINOR MODIFICATION TO A
SIDE YARD SETBACK (PLN2005-19) FOR AN ADDITION TO AN
EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE ON PROPERTY OWNED BY
DAVID AND PATTY SMITH LOCATED AT 901 N. CENTRAL
AVENUE IN AN R-1-6 (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF DAVID AND PATTY SMITH. FILE NO.
PLN2005-19.
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 PLN2005-19:
1. The proposed project is not consistent with the R-1-6 (Single-Family Residential, 6,000
square foot minimum lot size) Zoning District and development standards in that it does not
meet the minimum side yard setback along the southern property line.
2. The subject property is currently developed with a single-story home with an attached one-
car garage and a detached accessory structure.
3. The side yard setback requirement is the greater of five feet or one-half the height of the
building wall adjacent to the property line. The proposed second story addition has a wall
height of 19 feet, which requires a nine-foot, six-inch side yard setback.
4. The proposed project requests a minor modification to the southern side yard setback
requirement to allow a six-foot side yard setback where nine-feet, six-inches are required.
5. The proposed project is not well designed and is not architecturally compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood.
6. The subject property is located on the west side of North Central Avenue, between Payne and
David Avenues. The property is surrounded on all sides by single-family residences.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The side setback would be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, comfort or general welfare
of persons in the neighborhood, or the City as a whole.
2. The side setback would unreasonably interfere with the ability of adjoining property owners
to enjoy access to air, privacy, sunlight, and the quiet enjoyment ofthe owner's property.
