PC Res 4007RESOLUTION NO. 4007
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF
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 Planning
Commission 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 (Professianal 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.

Conditions of Approval of the Planned Development Permit.

the Planning Commission.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
