PC Res 2046RESOLUTION N0. 2046
PLANNING COMMISSION
CITY OF CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA
After notifcation and public hearing as specified by law on proposed
amendments to the text of the Campbell Punicipal Code, adding Chapter
21.59 - Garage Conversions, and after presentation by the Planning
Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed (TA 81-1).
After due consideration of all evidence presented and based upon
the following findings, the Commission did determine that there was a
significant need to amend the Campbell Municipal Code by adding
Chapter 21.69 - Garage Conversions:
1. That the proposed amendment will make a conversion of a garage
and/or carport to additional living space require approval of
a Conditional Use Permit and Architectural Approval by the
Planning Commission.
2. That the proposed amendment would give the Planning Commission
additional control over conversions and would also give property
owners in the immediate area notice and an opportunity to comment
on the conversion.
3. That the proposed amendment is also intended to permit garage
conversions where they would be otherwise prohibited. More
specifically, although the ordinance requires two on-site
parking spaces, the Planning Commission, under Section 21.50.040
of the C.M.C., has the authority to adjust the parking require-
ments, or in this case to waive the requirement that the parking
be covered.
4. That the proposed amendment would allow the examination of
potential conversions on an individual basis, and after input
from the surrounding property owners, if the Commission finds that
the conversion would not be detrimental to the neighborhood or
the City, it could be allowed.
5. That the proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the health,
safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons re-
siding 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.
The Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the City Council adopt
the ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit A enacting the necessary legislation
to make the proposed text amendment effective.
