CC Resolution 11405RESOLUTION NO. 11405
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
PROPOSED FOR 1677 S. BASCOM AVENUE. APPLICATION
OF BAY WEST DEVELOPMENT. FILE NOS.: PLN2011-
312/313/314 & PLN2012-86.
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
(PLN2011-312) for the construction of 168-unit apartment complex with 15,295 square
feet of commercial space; a Zone Change (PLN2011-313) from C-PD to PD; and a Tree
Removal Permit (PLN2011-314) to allow the removal of 66 protected trees on property
located at 1677 S. Bascom Avenue.
Environmental Finding
1. An Initial Study has been prepared for the 1677 S. Bascom Avenue Mixed-Use
Development project, which provides documentation for the factual basis for
concluding that a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be adopted. The Initial Study
found that 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 a 168 apartment unit mixed-use development with 15,295 square
feet of ground floor retail over podium parking.
Evidentiary Findings
2. The proposed project includes a request for a Zone Change from C-PD
(Condominium Planned Development) to P-D (Planned Development), a Planned
Development Permit that includes a Parking Modification to allow the construction of
the mixed-use development, and a Tree Removal Permit for the removal of 66
protected trees.
3. The Mitigated Negative Declaration describes the reasons that the 1677 S. Bascom
Avenue mixed-use 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.
4. All responsible agencies or trustee agencies responsible for resources affected by
1677 S. Bascom Avenue have been notified of the project and afforded an
opportunity to comment. Recommended conditions of approval relating to
responsible agency resources have been incorporated into the project approval.

Declaration to the public via the Campbell Express and the County Clerk.

7. The mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are included as
conditions of approval of the Planned Development Permit.

the Planning Commission.
