Environmental Finding
An Initial Study the City conducted for this project which provides documentation for the
factual basis for concluding that a 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.

related standards, amending the Campbell Zoning Code (Chapter 21.02 -Interpretation of
Provisions; Chapter 21.10 -Commercial and Industrial Districts; Chapter 21.28 -Parking
and Loading; Chapter 21.36 -Provisions Applying to Special Uses; Chapter 21.38 -
Application Filing, Processing, and Fees; Chapter 21.62 -Appeals; Chapter 21.71 -
Administrative Decision Process; Chapter 21.72 -Definitions).

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.
3. There are no responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected
by the text amendment project.
4. The City of Campbell provided a Notice of Intent to adopt a Negative Declaration to the
