PC Res 3533RESOLUTION NO. 3533
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL GRANTING AN EXTENSION OF APPROVAL
(PLN2003-151) OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ANTENNA
INSTALLATION (AT&T) TO ALLOW THE CONTINUED USE ON
PROPERTY OWNED BY LINMAN REALTY GROUP LOCATED AT
1300 WHITE OAKS ROAD IN AN M-1-S (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL)
ZONING DISTRICT. FILE NO. PLN2003-151.
After notification and public heating, 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 did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2003-151:
1. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility is consistent with the General Plan land
use designation of Light Industrial.
2. The proposed wireless telecommunications facility is consistent with the M-1-S Zoning
District with approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
3. The equipment room will be housed within the building and all antennas will be screened by
an architecturally compatible roof screen.
The panel antennas are mounted inside the existing roof screen and are not visible to the
exterior of the building. The antennas would not be visible from the exterior of the roof
screen.
o
The installation of the wireless antenna facility does not impact the existing parking facilities.
No parking spaces are required for this project because the facility would be unmanned and
would require a site maintenance visit approximately once a month.
6. The project qualifies as a Categorically Exempt project per Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing
Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use will not 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, or be detrimental or injurious to property and
improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.
3. The proposed use is compatible with the uses in the area.

The subject site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences,
parking and loading facilities, landscaping and other development features required in order
to integrate said use with uses in the surrounding area.
5. The subject site is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such uses would generate.
6. The proposed project will aid in the enhancement and the harmonious development of the
immediate area.
7. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the conditions of
approval and the impacts of the project.
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission approves An
Extension of Approval (PLN2003-151) of a previously approved antenna installation to allow the
continued use of property owned by Linman Realty Group located at 1300 White Oaks Road in
an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District, subject to the following conditions:
