PC Res 3806
RESOLUTION NO. 3806
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT THE EAST CAMPBELL AVENUE MASTER PLAN.
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on the proposed East Campbell
Avenue Master Plan, and after presentation by the Community Development Director,
proponents and opponents, the Planning Commission did determine that the adoption of
the East Campbell Master Plan is warranted based upon the following findings:
1. The Plan is consistent with the General Plan, Land Use and Transportation Element, in
that Campbell's General Plan, Land Use and Transportation Element, includes goals,
policies and strategies that promote community design for mixed use and in-fill
projects, streetscape standards, gateways, building and site design, and area plans
and special project areas. Specifically, General Plan Strategy LUT-2.2a, Roadways for
a Variety of Users; Strategy LUT-2.2d, Slow Traffic in Downtown; Strategy LUT-3.1 c,
High Density Residential near Light Rail; Strategy LUT-5.3f, Redevelopment in the
Downtown; Strategy LUT-5.3g, Day and Evening Activities Downtown; Policy LUT-6.1,
Enhancement of Downtown Gateways; Strategy LUT-7.2b, Public Art; Strategy LUT-
7.2g, Landscaped and Tree Lined Streets; Strategy LUT-7.2h, Consistent Right-of-Way
Treatment; Strategy LUT-7.2i, Pedestrian-friendly Streets; Strategy LUT-7.3a, Safe
Intersection Design; Strategy LUT-7.3b, Street Lighting; Strategy LUT-7.3c, Traffic
Control Devices; Strategy LUT-9.3a, Public Input on Plans; Strategy LUT-13.2a,
Sufficient Downtown Parking; and Goal LUT-19, Vibrant Downtown consistent with the
Campbell Downtown Development Plan. The Plan supports these General Plan goals,
policies and strategies by augmenting the Downtown Development Plan, Appendix A1,
by establishing specific criteria for public and private development in the Downtown
section of East Campbell Avenue between Railway and Union Avenues.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code, in that the Plan is
consistent with CMC Section 21.12.030, Planned Development Zoning District; and
Chapter 21.28, Parking and Loading. The Plan augments CMC Section 21.12.030,
Planned Development Zoning District by communicating specific standards to aid in the
orderly development of both public and private improvements, thereby assisting with
the review process required by the Municipal Code and increasing predictability for
private property owners and developers.
3. The project qualifies for reliance upon a previous environmental review per Section
15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to Subsequent
EIR's and Negative Declarations.

Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds
and concludes that:
1. The proposed Plan is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed Plan complies with all applicable provisions of this Zoning
Code and the Municipal Code.
3. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the proposed
Plan, as currently presented, will have a significant adverse impact on the
environment; and in fact, the Plan provides assistance in complying with
CEQA.
4. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between Plan
and CEQA requirements.
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Campbell recommends that the City Council approve the East Campbell Avenue
Master Plan.
