PC Res 3404RESOLUTION NO. 3404
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL GRANTING A SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW PERMIT (PLN2001-147) AND A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT (PLN2001-148) TO ALLOW THE INSTALLATION OF TWO
STUDIO TO TRANSMITTER LINK ANTENNAS ON THE ROOF OF
AN EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING AT CAMPBELL TECHNOLOGY
PARK ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 655 CAMPBELL
TECHNOLOGY PARKWAY IN A P-F (PUBLIC FACILITIES)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. JOHN BURGER, ON
BEHALF OF ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION.
FILE NO. PLN2001-47/48.
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 PLN2001-47/48:
1. Wireless telecommunications facilities are permitted in the P-D zoning district, subject to the
approval of a Site and Architectural Review Permit and a Conditional Use Permit.
2. The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Research and Development. The
proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation.
o
Antenna no. 1, a dish antenna approximately six feet in diameter, will be moved to a less
visible location at the northeast comer of the building. Antenna no. 2 will be replaced with a
rectangular half-parabolic antenna measuring 36 inches high, 68 inches wide and 18 inches
deep, which is smaller than the existing dish antenna. Due to the frequencies used and a high
sensitivity to attenuation, the antennas cannot be obstructed by any material, including radio-
frequency friendly panels.
4. The location of the antennas on the roof of an existing structure is a preferred location under
the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning Code.
2. The development and use are compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid in the
harmonious development of the immediate area.

o
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use, as conditioned, will not be
detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious
to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
The antennas are as architecturally integrated with building as technologically feasible and
the use is compatible with the existing research and development uses and the surrounding
area.
5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
Where approval by the Director of Community Development, City Engineer, Public Works
Director, City Attorney or Fire Department is required, that review shall be for compliance with
all applicable conditions of approval, adopted policies and guidelines, ordinances, laws and
regulations and accepted engineering practices for the item under review. Additionally, the
applicant is hereby notified that he/she is required to comply with all applicable Codes or
Ordinances of the City of Campbell and the State of Califomia that pertain to this development
and are not herein specified.
