PC Res 3246RESOLUTION NO 3246
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDING AN AMENDMENT OF THE LAND
USE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN CHANGING THE LAND
USE DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 20 UNION AVE
FROM PUBLIC/QUASI PUBLIC TO PROFESSIONAL OFFICE.
APPLICATION OF MR. JOE QUILICI. FILE NO. GP 99-01.
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 respect to application No. GP 99-01:
1. The proposed land use designation of Professional Office establishes a desirable land use
pattern in this neighborhood.
The proposed land use amendment is consistent with other General Plan Elements as follows:
~, The Land Use Element encourages the maintenance of a balance of residential and
commercial uses within the City. The designation of this site for professional office will
provide office jobs to continue Campbell's jobs/housing balance.
The Land Use Element encourages the preservation and restoration of existing buildings
of local significance. The designation of this site as Professional Office creates
economic value that allows restoration and preservation of the historic building.
3. The proposed Professional Office designation is compatible with the adjacent Commercial
land use designation to the north and west of this site.
The proposed Professional Office designation is similar to the existing Public/Quasi-Public
designation in that both allow office use as a permitted use, with the major distinction being
that the Public/Quasi Public designation is restricted to governmental offices.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed land use amendment establishes a desirable land use pattern.
2. The development and uses will be compatible with the other General Plan Elements and will
aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
3. An initial study has been prepared concluding that no unmitigated impacts have been found
for the project.
