PC Res 3303RESOLUTION NO. 3303 BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (PLN2000-88) TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 170,000 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE BUILDING, 210 ROOM HOTEL AND TWO RELATED PARKING STRUCTURES AND A TREE REMOVAL PERMIT (PLN2000-109) TO ALLOW THE REMOVAL OF APPROXIMATELY 50 TREES ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 649 CREEKSIDE WAY IN A PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. DON BRAGG, ON BEHALF OF PROMETHEUS REAL ESTATE GROUP. 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 finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2000-88/109 (PD/TRP): The proposed project is located on property designated as a Commercial and Public-Semi Public Land Use on the Land Use Element of the General Plan and is zoned P-D (Planned Development). The proposed project consists of a mixed-use development including a 170,000 square foot office building, a 210 room hotel and two related parking structures on property located at 649 Creekside Way. 3. The proposed office and hotel use is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed hotel and office, as conditioned, is well designed and architecturally compatible with other developments in the surrounding area and is consistent with the development standards for commercial uses. 5. The proposed project is compatible with the commercial uses in this neighborhood. o The proposed project is conditioned to prepare a landscaping plan that will require the installation of landscaping on the project site to mitigate removal of existing trees and provide an attractive landscaping concept that incorporates a variety of landscaping materials and pavement treatments to enhance the project. The landscape plan will incorporate landscaping plantings that will buffer the building mass towards public right-of-ways and Los Gatos Creek. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3303 PLN2000-88/109 - 649 Creekside Way - Planned Development/Tree Removal Permit Page 2 The proposed project illustrates the provision of 964 parking stalls thus providing adequate parking for the existing and proposed office/hotel uses, based upon the parking analysis and concepts of share parking and varied parking demands. o The proposed project is located on Creekside Way at the heart of a heavily congested traffic corridor that includes Hamilton Avenue, Bascom Avenue and Highway 17, and which connects Hamilton Avenue with an off-ramp from Highway 17 and with Bascom Avenue at Campisi Way. The proposed project will increase the peak-hour traffic congestion in the vicinity of Bascom and Hamilton Avenues by approximately two to three percent (2% - 3%), as well as generating significant pedestrian and vehicular trips to the restaurants and other amenities located at the Pruneyard Shopping Center. 10. The extension of Campisi Way into the Pruneyard and the interconnection of a new signal at the proposed northerly entrance to the development with the existing SMART Corridor system would partially mitigate the pedestrian and vehicular traffic impacts of the project. 11. The cost of interconnecting the traffic signal at the northerly entrance to the development with the existing SMART Corridor is approximately $50,000. 12. The estimated cost of extending Campisi Way into the Pruneyard is approximately $1,500,000, of which $350,000 represents the cost attributable to the project. 13. The project, as conditioned, addresses the pedestrian and vehicular needs of the proposed project and addresses the anticipated traffic impacts of the development. The required improvements are proportional to and related to the additional traffic generated by the proposed project. 14. The removal of the existing trees on-site is necessary as it restricts the economic enjoyment of the property and creates an unusual hardship for the property owner to develop the project as proposed without their removal. 15. An initial study was prepared for this project and no significant environmental impacts were found. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that: 1. The proposed development and uses clearly will result in a more desirable environment and use of the land than would be possible under any other zoning classification. 2. 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. 3. No residential units are proposed as part of the proposed project. Planning Commission Resolutlc, n No. 3303 PLN2000-88/109 - 649 Creekside Way - Planned Development/Tree Removal Permit Page 3 4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. 5. There is a reasonable relationship between the $50,000 interconnection fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 6. There is a reasonable relationship between the $350,000 Campisi extension fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 7. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the SMART Corridor interconnection and the type of development project on which the interconnection fee is imposed. 8. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the extension of Campisi Way and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the interconnection fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed. 10. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Campisi extension fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed. 11. The conditions for approval of this project are reasonably and roughly proportional in nature and extent to the impacts of the proposed development. 12. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as currently presented, and subject to the required conditions of approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment. 13. No evidence has been presented which shows that the project will have a substantial impact on plant or animal life.
