CC Resolution 10480 RESOLUTION NO. 10480 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A TREE REMOV AL PERMIT (PLN2005-10) FOR THE REMOVAL 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, INC. 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 City Council 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 City Council 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. City Council Resolution PLN2005-l0 - 1822 W.
