BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE CAMPBELL GATEWAY TOWNPLACE SUITES PROJECT
ON PROPERTY OWNED BY THE JOHN DAVIS FAMILY TRUST
LOCATED AT 690-700 EAST CAMPBELL AVENUE IN A P-D
(PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT. APPUCA TION
OF MS. LIBBY GLASS, ON BEHALF OF CAMPBELL SillTES
GROUP, LLC.
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 City Council did find as follows:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Campbell Gateway Townplace Suites 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 a four-story hotel with 95 units.
2. Higgins Associates, Civil and Traffic Engineers of Gilroy, California prepared an Analysis of
Transportation Impacts to evaluate the potential traffic impacts of the project and found that
the proposed project would not cause significant traffic impacts on the local transportation
facilities.
3. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the Campbell Gateway
Townplace Suites Project will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore
does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report pursuant to Section
15071 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
4. Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) is the only agency responsible for resources
affected by the Campbell Gateway Townplace Suites in that the project is within 50 feet of
their facilities. The project conditions of approval require the applicant to obtain a permit
from the SCVWD prior to the issuance of any building or grading permits for the 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 October 16, 2002 and November 4,2002. Comments from Santa Clara Valley
water District are attached to the initial study.

7. The mitigation measures address potential short-tenn 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
impacts, and potential noise impacts during project construction. The mitigation measures are
included as Conditions of Approval of the Planned Development Permit.
8. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the Mitigated Negative Declaration
reflects the independent judgment of the City Council.
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council adopts a Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the Campbell Gateway Townplace Suites Project on property owned by the John
Davis Family Trust located at 690-700 E. Campbell Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development) Zoning
District.
