BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL DENYING AN APPEAL AND ADOPTING A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE COPTIC
ORTHODOX CHURCH BUILDING PROJECT LOCATED AT 395 W.
RINCON A VENUE.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the City Council did determine
that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is warranted based upon the following
findings:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Coptic Orthodox Church Building Project, which
provides documentation 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. The project consists of an
addition to an existing 3,983 square-foot, single-story building resulting in a 17,632 square foot,
two-story building to be used as a public assembly use. The proposed project also includes site
improvements to the surface parking, landscaping, and lighting.
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons the Coptic Orthodox Church
Building Project will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore does not
require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
3. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
the Coptic Orthodox Church Building Project.
4. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration
to the public via the Campbell Express and the County Clerk in compliance with all
requirements of the CEQA Guidelines.
5. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines. The 20-day public review period was
between November 10, 2004 and November 29,2004.
6. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
conditions of approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
7. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:

1. No substantial evidence has been presented from which a reasonable argument could be

2. The Custodian of the Record for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study is the
City Clerk of the City of Campbell, located at 70 North First Street, Campbell, California.
