PC Res 3468RESOLUTION NO. 3468
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION (PLN2002-41) TO CREATE 30
RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND FOUR PRIVATE DRIVEWAY
(TURNER WAY) LOTS ON PROPERTY OWNED BY U.S. TRUST
COMPANY AS TRUSTEE OF THE VECCHIOLI FAMILY TRUST
AT 1255-1461 W. HACIENDA AVENUE IN AN R-l-9 (SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENITAL) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF
MR. JIM SULLIVAN, ON BEHALF OF BRADDOCK 8,: LOGAN
SERVICES, INC. FILE NO. PLN2002-41.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the heating was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2002-41:
1. The project site covers a 6.66 net acre area and is located on the northwest comer of West
Hacienda Avenue and South San Tomas Aquino Road in the San Tomas Area Neighborhood.
The project consists of the development of 30 new single-family residential units on 9,000
square feet or greater lots.
The proposed creation of 30 residential lots and four private driveway (Turner Way) lots is
consistent with the General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential (less than
4.5 units per gross acre).
The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map is consistent with the R-l-9 (Single-family
Residential, 9,000 square feet minimum lot size) Zoning Ordinance. The proposed residential
lots created by the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map all exceed 9,000 square feet. The
proposed lots range in size from 9,008 to 14,163 square feet with an average lot size of 9,560
square feet.
The minimum lot width for parcels is 70 feet; the proposed parcels all meet this required lot
width. The two parcels on the bulb of the cul-de-sac meet the minimum lot width
requirement of 60 feet.
The plot plan proposes the development of 30 single-family residences on individual lots.
Ten residences would front Hacienda Avenue, nineteen would front the new public street,
and one residence would front S. San Tomas Aquino Road.
A new "L" shaped public street would be created that is off of Hacienda Avenue and ends
with a cul-de-sac near South San Tomas Aquino Road. The cul-de-sac design increases the
safety for the residents, reduces the amount of traffic on the street and the speed that it can
travel, and creates a sense of community on the residential street. The design prevents cut-
through traffic between South San Tomas Aquino Road and Hacienda Avenue.

o
A ten-foot wide public pedestrian accessway would connect the cul-de-sac to South San
Tomas Aquino Road in order to provide a connection to the neighborhood without adverse
traffic impacts.
o
The placement of the entrance of the new public street has been located as far away from the
intersection as possible and has been placed on Hacienda Avenue to prevent the vehicle
queue from blocking the entrance/exit of the new public street.
The Tentative Parcel Map has been distributed to local agencies, including Pacific Gas and
Electric, West Valley Sanitation District, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and
the Santa Clara Valley Water District. None of these agencies raised any concerns about
providing services to the proposed lots.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance of the City.
The proposed Tentative Subdivision Map does not impair the balance between the housing
needs of the region and the public service needs of its residents and available fiscal and
environmental resources.
3. The design of the Tentative Subdivision Map provides, to the extent feasible, for future
passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
4. 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.
5. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
6. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and
the type of development project.
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends approval
of a Tentative Subdivision Map (PLN2002-41) to create 30 residential lots and four private
driveway (Turner Way) lots on property owned by U.S. Trust Company as Trustee of the
Vecchioli Family Trust at 1255-1461 W, Hacienda Avenue, subject to the following conditions:
