BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL
OF A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL
CODE, CHAPTER 21.02 (DEFINITIONS) AND CHAPTER
21.61 (PROVISIONS APPLYING TO SPECIAL USES).
TA 89-01
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on proposed
amendments to the text of the Campbell Municipal Code, and after presentation
by the Planning Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, and based upon the following
findings, the Commission did determine that there was a significant need to
amend Chapter 21.01 (Definitions) and Chapter 21.61 (Provisions Applying to
Special Uses) of the Campbell Municipal Code.
Skateboard ramps which are higher than 36 inches above finished grade or
depressed more than 36 inches below finished grade may be detrimental to a
neighborhood because of noise, unsightliness and invasion of privacy.
By requiring approval of a Conditional Use Permit for skateboard ramps
which are higher than 36 inches above finished grade or more than 36 inches
below finished grade, the City will be able to protect its neighborhoods.
The Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt the
attached Ordinance enacting the necessary legislation to make the proposed text
amendment effective.

PROPOSED ADDITION TO CHAPTER 21.02 OF THE CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL CODE
(Definitions).
21.02.357 Skateboard Ramp
Any structure of device with an inclined or rounded surface designed
or intended to be used to accommodate motorized or non-motorized
devices with wheels, such as skates, skateboards, bicycles, or other
wheeled devices for the purpose of performing acrobatics, gymnastics,
or otherwise propelling said wheeled devices.
II. PROPOSED ADDITION TO CHAPTER 21.61 OF THE CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL CODE
(Provisions Applying to Special Uses).
21.61.030 Skateboard Ramps
The City Council of the City of Campbell finds that skateboard ramps
which are higher than 36 inches above finished grade or depressed more
than 36 inches below finished grade and longer or wider than four feet
(4') tend to contribute to the detriment of a neighborhood through the
generation of noise, unsightlyness, invasion of privacy, and
disruption of peace and enjoyment of property by residents in the
area. Therefore, the following regulations are established with
regard to skateboard ramps:
Skateboard ramps which are higher than 36 inches above finished
grade or depressed more than 36 inches below finished grade and
have a length or width greater than four feet (4') are hereby
prohibited from all zones within the City of Campbell, unless
approved in conjunction with the issuance of a Use Permit, as
provided for in Chapter 21.72 (Conditional Uses) of the Campbell
Municipal Code.
