PC Res 3927RESOLUTION NO. 3927
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT THE WINCHESTER BOULEVARD MASTER PLAN.
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on the proposed Winchester
Boulevard Master Plan, and after presentation by the Community Development Director,
proponents and opponents, the Planning Commission did determine that the adoption of
the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan is warranted based upon the following findings:
1. The Plan is consistent with the General Plan, Land Use and Transportation Element, in
that Campbell's General Plan, Land Use and Transportation Element, includes goals,
policies and strategies that promote community design for mixed use and in-fill
projects, streetscape standards, gateways, building and site design, and area plans
and special project areas. Specifically, General Plan Strategy LUT-2.2a, Roadways for
a Variety of Users; Strategy LUT-2.3d, Alternative Methods for Speed Reduction on
Winchester Boulevard; Strategy LUT-3.1 c, High Density Residential near Light Rail;
Strategy LUT-5.3a, Commercial Design Guidelines; Strategy LUT5.3b, Minimal
Setbacks; Strategy LUT-5.3j, Development of a Winchester Boulevard Plan; Strategy
LUT-7.2c, Undergrounding of Utilities; Strategy LUT-7.2d, Public Utility Screening;
Strategy LUT-7.2g, Landscaped and Tree Lined Streets; Strategy LUT-7.2h, Consistent
Right-of-Way Treatment; Strategy LUT-7.2i, Pedestrian-friendly Streets; Strategy LUT-
7.3a, Safe Intersection Design; Strategy LUT-7.3b, Street Lighting; Strategy LUT-7.3c,
Traffic Control Devices; Strategy LUT-9.3a, Public Input on Plans; Strategy LUT-9.3m,
Location of Service Areas; Strategy LUT-10.1 e, Parking Lot Screening; Strategy LUT-
10.2a, streetscape Standards; LUT-11.1 d, Bicycle and Pedestrian Connections in
Development; Strategy LUT-12..1 a, Shared Driveways, Access and Parking. The Plan
supports these General Plan goals, policies and strategies by establishing specific
criteria for public and private development on Winchester Boulevard between Budd
Avenue and the northerly city limit boundary.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the Municipal Code, in that the Plan is
consistent with CMC Section 21.12.030, Planned Development Zoning District; and
Chapter 21.28, Parking and Loading. The Plan augments CMC Section 21.12.030,
Planned Development Zoning District by communicating specific standards to aid in the
orderly development of both public and private improvements, thereby assisting with
the review process required by the Municipal Code and increasing predictability for
private property owners and developers.
3. The project qualifies for reliance upon a previous environmental review per Section
15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pertaining to Subsequent
EIR's and Negative Declarations.

Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds
and concludes that:
1. The proposed Plan is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed Plan complies with all applicable provisions of this Zoning
Code and the Municipal Code.
3. No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the proposed
Plan, as currently presented, will have a significant adverse impact on the
environment; and in fact, the Plan provides assistance in complying with
CEQA.
4. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between Plan
and CEQA requirements.
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Campbell recommends that the City Council approve the East Campbell Avenue
Master Plan, with the modifications as described in the January 27, 2009, staff
