BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
PROPOSED FOR 700 GALE DRIVE IN A P-D (PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF
VALLEY OAK PARTNERS, LLC. FILE NOS.: PLN2010-
160/161 /162/163/164.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the City Council did
determine that the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration provides full and
adequate environmental review for approval of a Planned Development Permit
(PLN2010-162) for the construction of 21 small-lot detached single-family residences; a
Tentative Vesting Subdivision Map (PLN2010-163) to allow the creation of 21 residential
lots and one common lot; and a Tree Removal Permit (PLN2010-164) to allow the
removal of 40 protected trees on property located at 700 Gale Drive.
Environmental Finding
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the Gale Drive Residential Development
project located at 700 Gale Drive, which provides documentation for the factual
basis for concluding that a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be adopted since no
substantial evidence exists, in light of the whole record, that the project may have a
significant effect on the environment. The project consists of the development of
twenty-one new small lot detached single family residences.
Evidentiary Findings
2. The proposed project includes a request for approval to amend the General Plan
Land Use designation of Assessor Parcel Number 307-39-025 from Professional
Office to Low-Medium Density Residential (6-13 Units/Gr. Acre) in order to construct
a 21-unit small lot detached single family residential development on property
currently developed with a two story professional office building. The proposed
project also includes application for a Zone Change from P-O (Professional Office)
to P-D (Planned Development), a Planned Development Permit to allow the
residential development, a Tentative Vesting Subdivision Map to create 21 private
residential lots and one common lot, and a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of
40 protected trees.
3. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the Gale Drive
Residential Development Project will not have a significant effect on the environment
and therefore does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report,
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.

Declaration to the public via the Campbell Express and the County Clerk.
6. The City of Campbell provided a 20-day public review period of the draft Mitigated
Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
The 20-day public review period was between January 5, 2011 and January 25, 2011.
7. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
Conditions of Approval of the Planned Development Permit.
8. The Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of
the Planning Commission.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:

Conditions of Approval, will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
