CC Resolution 10587
RESOLUTION NO.
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL ADOPTS A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE CHARITIES HOUSING, INC., AND SANTA CLARA
VALLEY WATER DISTRICT PROJECT LOCATED AT 511 AND 555
W. CAMPBELL AVENUE.
10587
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the Planning
Commission did determine that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is
warranted.
The City Council finds as follows with regard to the Mitigated Negative Declaration:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for this 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 the
development of twenty-four attached townhomes, sixteen detach small lot single-
family residences, three extraction well buildings and related circulation and
landscaping improvements.
2. A Trip Generation Analysis was prepared to evaluate the potential traffic impacts of
the project and found that the proposed project will not cause an increase in traffic
that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street
system. Given the minor number of projected trips, the project will not exceed, either
individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the
Congestion Management Program for designated roads or highways.
3. A Mitigated Negative Declaration that describes the reasons that the Charities
Housing Project will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore
does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report was prepared
pursuant to Section 15071 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
4. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources
affected by this project.
5. 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.
6. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration pursuant to Section 15073 of the California Environmental
Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day public review period for the draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration was between September 14, 2005 and October 4, 2005. No
comments were received.

7. The mitigation measures address potential short-term air quality impacts associated
with construction, paleontological or archaeological resources that might be
encountered during project construction, strong seismic ground shaking associated
with potential geologic conditions, and potential noise impacts during and project
construction. The mitigation measures are included as Conditions of Approval of the
Planned Development Permit and Tentative Subdivision Map.
8. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the Mitigated Negative
Declaration reflects the independent judgment 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 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.
2. The Custodian of the Record for this Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study
is the City Clerk of the City of Campbell, located at 70 North First Street, Campbell,
California.
