BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (PLN2000-46) TO ALLOW
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FOUR TOWNHOUSE
DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 861 APRICOT
AVENUE IN AN R-3-S (MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. STEPHEN J.
CUSELLA. FILE NO. PLN2000-46.
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 PLN2000-46:
The proposed density of 13.8 units per gross acre is less than the density allowance of 21-27
units per gross acre permitted in the High Density Residential General Plan land use
designation.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Planned Development Zoning Ordinance.
The site plan proposes the construction of four (4) townhomes each on individual lots. All of
the residences take vehicular access by a 20-foot wide two-way colored stamped concrete
common driveway running along the eastern property line. The front yard will be landscaped
and a picket fence will screen the front parking space. Each of the units has a private rear
yard with a depth ranging from five feet to ten feet. Proposed landscaping will occupy
approximately 20.3% of the project site.
5. The project provides 14 on-site parking spaces.
6. The completed project would consist of four (4) new townhomes covering 45% of the lot
with building, 34.7 % with paving, and 20.3% with landscaping.
7. The project will have a floor area ratio of.78.
8. The proposed project is surrounded by other residential uses, with residential condominiums
to the north and south, townhomes to the east, and a single-family residence to the west.
9. The proposed massing and design is consistent with other developments in the surrounding
area
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:

1. 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.
2. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
