BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A
PARKING ADJUSTMENT TO AI,I,OW REDUCED PARKING
SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR ON-SITE PARKING SPACES IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A USE PERMIT (PLN2002-89) TO ALLOW
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A BANK WITHIN AN EXISTING
COMMERCIAL BUILDING OWNED BY MR. ABBAS
HAGHSHENAS LOCATED AT 125 E. CAMPBELL AVENUE IN
THE C-3-S (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. RENE KAKEBEEN, ON
BEHALF OF LEGACY BANK, N.A. (PROPOSED). FILE NO.
PLN2002-89.
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 PLN2002-89:
1. The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the
General Plan land use of commercial uses for this area.
o
o
o
The proposed project is consistent with policies and the design guidelines of the Campbell
Downtown Development Plan.
The property was approved with a shared parking arrangement for the office, retail, and
residential uses. A total of 53 parking spaces are provided. At the time that the Parking
Adjustment was approved by the City Council for the development of the mixed-use project
in 1997, a mixed-use parking analysis was completed that projected a maximum demand of
32 to 59 spaces depending on the time of day.
As part of the previous approval of the Parking Adjustment for the alternative bank location
in March 2002, the City Council found that the proposed bank use are more similar to retail
uses and that the current parking requirement for banks is outdated.
The existing parking will adequately meet the demands generated by the change in use and
will not be detrimental to the overall parking and circulation in the area.
The proposed project is consistent with other developments in the surrounding area and is
consistent with the development standards for commercial uses.
The project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment; and no substantial evidence
has been presented to suggest that there is a reasonably possibility that significant
environmental impacts would result from the project due to unusual circumstances or from
the cumulative impacts of successive projects of the same type in the same place.

Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed development and uses clearly will result in a more desirable environment and
use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification.
2. The development and uses will be compatible with the General Plan of the City and will aid
in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
o
The proposed parking area 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.
4. The proposed parking area is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the
kind and quantity of traffic such use would generate.
5. The proposed parking area is compatible with the uses in the area.
6. The existing parking will adequately meet the demands generated by the change in use.
7. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends approval
of a parking adjustment to allow reduce parking space requirements for on-site parking spaces in
conjunction with a Use Permit (PLN2002-89) to allow the establishment of a bank within an
existing commercial building owned by Mr. Abbas Haghshenas located at 125 E. Campbell
