BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMPBELL GRANTING AN APPEAL AND OVERTURNING THE
PLANNING COMMISSION'S SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL APPROVAL
(S 99-04) TO ALLOW A NEW 3,330 SQUARE FOOT COMMERCIAL
BUILDING ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3245 S. WINCHESTER
BOULEVARD IN A C-2-S (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ZONING
DISTRICT.
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 S 99-04:
1. An initial study was prepared for this project which concludes there are no significant
environmental impacts and a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project.
2. The proposed building design and site layout are not consistent with the commercial land
use of the General Plan and the (C-2-S) General Commercial designation for the site. The
proposed project fails to achieve the following objectives:
a) Provide an attractive architectural elevation of the building along the street frontage.
b) Accommodates joint use of driveways and parking circulation so that street curb cuts
and driveways are minimized.
c) Encourages a pedestrian oriented environment though the placement of the building in
close proximity to pedestrian sidewalks.
d) Creates an architecturally pleasing project reflective of the recently approved
commercial buildings on major arterial streets and
e) Places the loading areas of the building along the street frontage of the building.
3. The proposed circulation does not accommodate future shared access with adjacent parcels.
4. The proposed project design fails to address the site planning issues of the building
placement along the street frontage and fails to integrate the use with the surrounding
neighborhood and uses.
5. The project will not create a nuisance due to noise, litter, vandalism, traffic or other factors.
6. The project will have a detrimental affect on the adjacent property by the placement of a
16-foot wall along the rear property line of the adjacent residential use, thus disturbing the
peace and enjoyment of nearby residential neighborhood.

Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed project will not aid in the enhancement and the harmonious development of
the immediate area. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the uses will be
detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use.
2. The proposed site layout does not provide the desired site layout of commercial uses along
a major arterial street in the community.
3. The project is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such uses would generate but has not accommodated joint use of project
driveways with adjacent properties, however, future shared driveways between commercial
uses have not been provided.
