BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL APPROVING
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW CELLULAR
ANTENNAS AND GROUND-MOUNTED EQUIPMENT ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 125 E. SUNNYOAKS AVENUE
IN AN M-1-S (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) ZONING DISTRICT.
APPLICATION OF MS. PATTY MEJIA, ON BEHALF OF
SPRINT SPECTRUM. UP 96-10.
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 did find as
follows with respect to application UP 96-10:
Public service facilities are permitted in the M-1-S Zoning District subject to the
approval of a conditional use permit.
The project is compatible with the existing building and site, subject to the
conditions of approval.
The placement of the antennas on the roof, with the installation of on-site and off-
site landscaping to screen the antennas from public view complies with the intent and
purposes of the Site and Architectural Review Ordinance.
Additional landscaping including 24" box and 15 gallon Redwood trees along the
perimeter of the property will upgrade the site and provide screening of the antennas
from the public view.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the local zoning
ordinance, and;
2. The proposed project as conditioned will aid in the harmonious development of the
immediate area;
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will not be
detrimental to the 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.
