The project is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines of the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan. 4. The home consists of a 3,759 square foot one story single-family residence, with a building coverage of 26%, and a floor area of 26%. 5. The project provides three covered and three uncovered parking spaces, where a minimum of one covered and one uncovered parking space is required. 6. The height of the home is 20'-7", where the maximum height limit is 28'-0". 7. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 8.

The proposed residence incorporates representative architectural features of homes in the San Tomas Neighborhood including simple rectangular shaped forms, hipped roof, composition shingle roof, stucco siding, and an attached garage entry perpendicular to Westmont Avenue, eliminating a dominant garage elevation along the streetscape. 10. The subject property is located on the south side of Westmont Avenue between Harriet Avenue and Del Loma Drive. The property is surrounded by single-family residences on the south, east and west and Westmont High School to the north. 11. The project qualifies as Categorically Exempt under Section 15303, Class 3 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pertaining to the construction of a new single-family residence in an urbanized area.

The proposed project is consistent with the City of Campbell General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 2. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area. 3. The proposed project is well designed and is architecturally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 4. 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. 5. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. 6. The proposed project will contribute to the housing stock in the City of Campbell and serve the housing needs of the community. 7. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and the type of development project. 8. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of approval and the impacts of the project.
