RESOLUTION NO. 9908
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL GRANTING A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT
(PLN2001-70) TO ALLOW THE REMOVAL OF 48 TREES IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 300 ORCHARD CITY DRIVE IN A C-
PD (COMDOMINIUM/PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF WATER TOWER I, LLC. FILE NO.
PLN2001-70.
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 City Council did find as follows with
respect to application PLN2001-70:
1. The site was formerly developed with a 20,000 square foot office building that was damaged
by earthquake and subsequently removed.
2. The existing trees were planted in 1994 for the provision of a private landscaped area.
3. The quantity and location of the trees throughout the project site would preclude any
redevelopment of the site if the trees were to be required to remain.
4. Replacement trees will be provided at a one to one ratio, for a mInImUm of 48 new
replacement trees, of a variety of species to continue the diversity of plant materials present
in the community.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The retention of the trees restricts the economic enjoyment of the property or creates an
unusual hardship for the property owner by severely limiting the use of the property in a
manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated properties, and
the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission that there are
no reasonable alternatives to preserve the trees.
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.
