PC Res 3365 RESOLUTION NO. 3365
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A MODIFICATION
(PLN2001-32) TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT TO ALLOW A MINOR RESIDENTIAL
ADDITION ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 714 FAIRLANDS
AVENUE IN A PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT). APPLICATION
OF SCOTT AND BARBARA KNASTER. FILE NO. PLN2001-32.
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 PLN2001-32:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the P-D (Planned Development) zoning district.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan and
complies with the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan design guidelines.
3. The Planned Development consists of seven two-story single-family residences on a cul-de-
sac private drive with a shared tennis court.
4. The proposed project includes a 295 square-foot addition to the front of an existing
residence. The addition consists of a new family room. The existing front door and porch will
be moved slightly forward from their existing location. No windows will be added to the
building wall that faces the west side yard.
5. The proposed addition utilizes gable roof forms, vertical wood siding, and red ceramic tile
roofing. The proposed addition will match the existing colors of the residence.
6. The proposed project meets the minimum setbacks, height restriction, lot coverage, and
parking requirements of the requirements of the single-family residential zoning district.
7. The first floor addition of 295 square feet is a simple extension along existing building lines.
The project lot size (4,745 square feet) is significantly less than the typical 6,000 square feet
single-family residential lot size.
8. The proposed project creates no new dwelling units.
9. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the existing
home, surrounding neighborhood and the San Tomas Area Neighborhood.

10. The property is currently developed with a density of 5.98 dwelling units per gross acre,
which is consistent with the General Plan density of less than six dwelling units per gross
acre for this area.
11. 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.
3. The proposed development will not result in allowing more residential units than would be
allowed by other residential zoning districts which are consistent with the general plan
designation of the property; and
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
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 California that pertain to this development
and are not herein specified.
