CC Resolution 10211
RESOLUTION NO. 10211
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE WATER TOWER PLACE PROJECT LOCATED AT 300
ORCHARD CITY DRIVE.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the City Council did determine
that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration is warranted based upon the following
findings:
The City Council finds as follows with regard to the Mitigated Negative Declaration:
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Water Tower Place 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 new four-story, 24 unit, residential condominium building.
2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the Water Tower Place Project
will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore does not require the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act Guidelines.
3. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
the Water Tower Place Project.
4. 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.
5. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines. The 20-day
public review period was between May 7,2003 and May 27, 2003. Comments were received
from the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA).
6. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
conditions of approval of the Planned Development Permit.
7. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission.
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.

City Clerk of the City of Campbell, located at 70 North First Street, Campbell, California.
