In response to inquiries, Chief Berg noted the current Fire Services Agreement with the Santa Clara County Fire Department runs through 2028, and as housing is built and there is an increase in population there could be impacts to this contract in the future.

Chief Berg noted delays in delivery of the Bear Cat and other police vehicles ordered in 2021 due to staffing and supply chain issues with the vendors.
In response to inquiries relating to the citizen proposed consideration of a s afe gun storage ordinance, Chief Berg stated that he has not seen statistics proving that such an ordinance would impact overall community safety. Chief Berg noted that in order to enforce such an ordinance an officer would need legal authority to be inside someone’s home. There are current laws aimed at keeping guns away from children and felons. If an incident occurs, there are laws in place that would allow action if a gun was improperly stored.
In response to inquiries relating to ghost guns, Chief Ber g clarified that a ghost gun is a firearm with no serial number that is untraceable. There has been an uptick in these types of weapons in recent years and there have been discussions in th e law enforcement community about partnering to identify any potential sources of these weapons.

This is the time and place for a public hearing to receive input from the community on the draft district maps sub mitted for the Redistricting of City Council district boun daries, select one of the published district maps, and to consider adoption of an Ordinance confirming a district boundary map for the City of Campbell.
City Clerk Christopherson reviewed the Staff Report dated March 1, 2022 and introduced Dr. Jeff Tilton , NDC, Inc., to review the submitted draft maps and the applicable State and Federal laws that governs the Redistricting process.
Dr. Tilton stated that this public hearing represents the fourth an d final public hearing for the City in the redistricting p rocess following completion of the 2020 U.S. Federal Census. Dr. Tilton noted that Federal Law requires districts be population balanced (within 10% deviation), used no discriminatory or gerrymandering processes in their development. State law requires the districts to be geographically contiguous, have undivided neighborhoods, easily identifiable boundaries, and compact districts. Dr. Tilton noted that the 2020 U.S.
Census concluded that the City’s currently adopted boundaries (formed in 2019) were population balanced and within legal requirements.
Dr. Tilton reviewed the four draft maps (maps 101 -104) submitted for consideration, in addition to the City’s currently adopted district boundary map.
Dr. Tilton noted that map 103 was deemed not population balanced and removed from consideration. Dr. Tilton reviewed the chart provided in the Staff Report relating to the population deviations of each draft map submitted.
In response to inquiries, City Man ager Brian Loventhal noted the potential for voter disenfranchisements with maps 102 and 104, and a lessor impact with map 101 as those changes are made between districts 1 and 2.
Mayor Resnikoff opened the public hearing, there being no public comments, the public hearing was closed.

Captain Ian White re viewed the Staff Report dated March 1, 2022 noting that Council approved funding in the Police Department budget during the mid -year budget adjustment for the Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras, following final contract pricing there is an additional $5,600 required which will be absorbed in the Police Department budget, no additional funding is being requested at this time. Captain White stated that a community webinar was held on February 17, 2022, to inform Campbell residents about the planned camera use and answer any questions. A video recording of this webinar and all department policies are available on the Police Department’s webpage for the public to review.

At its meeting of November 16, 2021 City Council voted unanimously to also consider the City’s district boundary map originally adopted in 2019 as the 2020 federal census indicated the boundaries were still population balanced as defined by federal law.
At its fourth and final public hearing on March 1, 2022, the City Council considered five draft boundary maps and voted unanimously to maintain the originally adopted district boundary map and preliminarily adopt ed Ordinance No. 2279. Ordinance 2279 will become effective 30 days following second reading and approval.
The deadline for completion of the redistricting process is April 15, 2022. Following final adoption Staff will notify the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Office of the City’s completion of the redistricting process prior to the April 15 deadline.
FISCAL IMPACT
Nominal publication and codification costs relating to the final adoption of this ordinance will be absor bed within the current Fiscal Ye ar Operating Budget for the City Clerk’s Item: 7

Report
TITLE: Extension of Declaration of Local Emergency (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council adopt a resolution extending the January 18 , 2022 City Council proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency resulting from community spread of COVID-19.
BACKGROUND
On March 17, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution ratifying the Director of Emergency Services’ proclamation date d March 12, 2020 declaring the existence of a local emergency resulting from community spread of COVID -19 in the City of Campbell.
This declaration of a local emergency provided the City the authority to provide and request mutual aid from state and other governmental agencies, consistent with the provisions of local ordinances, resolutions, emergency plans, and agreements; as well as promulgate orders and regulations, and exercise emergency police powers necessary to provide for protection of life and property.
During the COVID -19 public health crisis, the City Council passed several resolutions that are effective for the duration of the local emergency and listed below. No additional actions by the City Council are necessary as the actions authorized by these resolutions will terminate when the declaration of local emergency ends.
• Resolution 12580 - Setting forth code enforcement priorities during COVID-19 emergency;
• Resolution 12594 - Setting forth enforcement priorities affecting retail and restaurant businesses outside of the downtown area during COVD -19 emergency;
• Resolution 12595 – Setting forth enforcement priorities affecting downtown retail and restaurant businesses during COVID-19 emergency; • Resolution 12620 - Temporarily suspending and design ating parking restrictions and prohibitions pursuant to Campbell municipal code chapter
10.24 and authorizing temporarily closing the 100, 200, 300, and 400 blocks of East Campbell Avenue to motor vehicle traffic pursuant to California Vehicle Code section 21101 to facilitate outdoor business and setting forth Item: 8
Category: CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 15, 2022

Extension of Declaration of Local Emergency and Authorizing Remote Meetings Page 2 of 3 enforcement priorities affecting downtown businesses during the COVID -19 emergency;
• Resolution 12623 - Setting forth enforcement priorities affecting all business outside of the downtown area during COVD-19 emergency.
Pursuant to the Campbell Municipal Code 2.28.060 (a)(1) and California Government Code Section 8630 (b), the local emergency declaration was ratified by the City Council, as required by law in order to allow the City the ability to exerc ise emergency police powers such as: evacuation; immunity for emergency actions; authorization of issuance of orders and regulations; activation of pre -established emergency provisions; and is a prerequisite for requesting state or federal assistance.
The City Council reviewed the local emergency declaration every 60 days and adopted resolutions to extend the declaration of a local emergency on May 5, July 24, September 15, November 2, and December 15, 2020; on February 2, April 6, June 1, August 3, Septe mber 21 , October 19 , and November 16 , 2021 ; and on January 18, 2022.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 361 enabling local public agencies to continue to use teleconferencing without complying with certain Brown Act provisions.
At their meeting on October 19, 2021 the City Council adopted a resolution that incorporated the necessary findings required by AB 361 to allow the City to continue to conduct remote meetings. Although the City Council expressed its de sire to resume Council meetings in -person they questioned the ability of the City’s commissioners to meet in-person. The City Council requested staff provide additional information as to whether the City’s commissioners were willing and able to resume in -person meetings.
Staff later reported to the City Council that the majority of Commissioners were willing to return in person.
At their meeting on November 16, 2021 the City Council adopted a resolution extending the declaration of emergency to January 2 9, 2022. That resolution did not contain the findings required by AB 361 to allow for remote meetings. Since that time all City Council, Board and Commission meetings have been conducted in -person and in conformance with all requirements of the Brown Act . At their meeting on January 18, 2022 the City Council adopted a resolution further extending the declaration of emergency to March 29, 2022.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to the Government Code the City must review the declaration of emergency every 60 days. Due to the ongoing presence of the Omicron variant, staff recommends the City Council extend the declaration of emergency for another 60 days (until May 29, 2022).
8 Packet Pg. 36
Extension of Declaration of Local Emergency and Authorizing Remote Meetings Page 3 of 3 If the City Council extends the declaration of emergency, the business assistance resolutions that are tied to the declaration of emergency will likewise be extended for the same duration.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proclamation of a local emergency is a prerequisite for requesting state or federal assistance and/or reimbursement for expenses incurre d in response to the emergency.
There is no fiscal impact associated with the extension of the local emergency.
ALTERNATIVES
If the City Council desires to permit remote meetings of its legislative bodies, the Council can adopt the proposed resolution with one of the following findings added to the resolution.
1. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; or
2. State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.

Report
TITLE: 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) (Resolution / Roll Call Vote)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the City Council receive public comment and adopt a Reso lution accepting the Housing Element Annual Progress Report and directing staff to file the Annual Progress Report with the required State agencies.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, the City of Campbell’s Planning Division provides an Annual Progress Report (APR) to the City Council, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that includes the City’s progress in implementing the Housing Element, the progress in meeting the City’s share of regional housing needs, and the City’s efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and developmen t of housing. The APR is prepared on forms adopted by HCD and requires an annual public meeting in which members of the public may provide oral testimony and written comments.
In the past five years the reporting requirements for the Annual Progress Repor t (APR) have increased in complexity in response to the passage of Assembly Bill 879 and Senate Bill 35 in 2017, Assembly Bill 1486 in 2019, and Assembly Bills 1255 and 2345 in 2020. The changes to the reporting requirements are summarized in the discussion.
DISCUSSION
For ease of reference, tables from the APR Report have been provided as individual attachments. A summary of the purpose and response for each table has been provided by the table below. For a user -friendly ‘snapshot’ of the data collected by these tables, please refer to Attachment N – Housing Element Annual Progress Report Presentation, which includes the following summary table on the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) progress:

Figure 1: City of Campbell RHNA Progress
Table A (Attachment B) includes data on all new housing units and developments for which an application 1 was submitted (and deemed complete) between January 1 and December 31, 2021 2. This table is broken down by address/APN; project number; building/unit cat egory (e.g., single -family, multi -family, etc.); tenure (i.e., renter or owner); date that the application was deemed complete; affordability level of “proposed units”; the number of units in each project; and whether the project was approved or disapproved. This table also highlights whether the number of units proposed by the applicant is the same as the number of units approved by the City.
Table A2 (Attachment C ) reports the overall quantity and affordability level 3 of “entitled/approved units 4” (fields 4 through 6) ; units that have been “issued a building permit” (fields 7 through 9) ; units that have received a “certificate of occupancy” (f ields 10 through 12); extremely low units (field 13), units that have been approved through SB35 (field 14); infi ll units (field 15); units that are deed restricted units (field 16); units that have received financial assistance (field 17); units that the City has deemed “affordable” without a deed restriction or financial assistance (field 18); the term of affordability (field 19); and any units that have been demolished (torn down) or destroyed (by natural causes) (field 20) 5; and provides details on the level of density applied, number and type of concessions/waivers granted, and whether the project was granted a parking reduction (fields 21 to 24).
• The results of this table are separately discussed and summarized in this report; see discussion on ‘Summary Table’.
Table B (Attachment D ) reports the City’s progress towards meeting its RHNA by income category for each year within the reporting cycle (2015-2023).
1 An “application” is a formal submittal of a project for approval that is either discretionary or ministerial (e.g., zoned by right).
2 Table A reporting data for 2021 starts on Row 243.
3 For the purposes of the APR, affordability level also includes “above moderate” (i.e., market rate) units. 4 The APR only reports net new units. For example, if one (1) existing unit is demolishe d on a site to build two (2) new units, the APR should only report one (1) new unit. 5 Table A2 reporting data for 2021 starts on Row 110.
9 Packet Pg. 41
2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) Page 3 of 6 • During the reporting period, 68 building permits were issued which served toward satisfying the City’s RHNA obligations for above moderate units and two (2) building permits were issued which served toward satisfying the very-low income obligation. At this time, the City has exceeded its obligation for above moderate units (532 provided / 391 required), but remains deficient for 240 very low income, 134 low income, and 135 moderate income units for the reporting cycle.
Table C (Attachment E) identifies any sites that have been rezoned to accommodate a shortfall in the City’s progress towards meeting RHNA. Pursuant to the APR requirements, this table has not been filled out since the City does not have an identified housing shortfall that satisfies the required criteria6 of the Government Code despite not having realized the City’s RHNA allocation for the very low, low, and moderate -income categories (see Figure 1 ). A shortfall only occurs when the City caus es the shortfall through denial of a project (i.e., no net loss restrictions); has an unaccommodated need in the prior planning period (i.e., the City did not adequately plan for RHNA); or has shortfall of sites in the current planning period (i.e., the Ci ty postponed land use and zoning changes called for by the Housing Element until after its adoption). On new sites identified to offset any identified shortfall, the table collects information on the parcel size of the opportunity site, the General Plan and Zoning designations of the opportunity site; the maximum density allowed; the realistic capacity of the opportunity site; whether the site is vacant or not; and a description of existing uses (e.g., single-family residence, surplus school site, operating business, etc.)7.
• No such rezoning has occurred in Campbell during the reporting period.
Table D (Attachment F ) describes the City’s progress towards implementing all programs and policies identified in the Housing Element and other local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. Most programs and policies in the Housing Element are routine in nature (i.e. continue to provide information, implement the building code, offer rent mediation, etc.) and repeat annually. Unique to 2021, staff highlighted the following efforts to:
o H-4.1a (Provide adequate sites to meet the City’s share of regional housing needs):
▪ In addition to maintaining a list of opportunity sites on the City's website, in 2021 the City conducted extensive outreach to property owners in the community as part of Campbell's Plan for Housing (2023-2031 Housing Element). As a result of those efforts, the City identified a number of potential housing opportunity sites and densities w hich would satisfy the City’s 6th Cycle RHNA which have the support and interest of property owners.
6 This table should only be filled out if the city identifies an unaccommodated need of sites from the previous plann ing period, has shortfall of sites as identified in the housing element; or is identifying additional sites required by no net loss law. Reference Government Code section 65863 and 65584. 7 The City must be specific and cannot simply say “commercial”, “retail”, “office”, or “residential”. 9 Packet Pg. 42
2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) Page 4 of 6 o H-5.4a (Update the Municipal Code as needed to comply with changes to State Law and local conditions and needs):
▪ In 2021, the City adopted an interim ordi nance to adopt SB9 on an urgency basis to provide regulations and standards for the subdivision of single -family residential properties and development of two-unit housing developments.
o H-6.1a (Further fair housing practices in Campbell):
▪ In 2021, the Cit y conducted extensive outreach related to Campbell's Plan for Housing through MailChimp/Constant Contact email services, the recreation pamphlet, community center reader board, and postcards mailed to every property owner to ensure as broad and equitable c ommunity engagement in the process as possible. The City also developed a webpage dedicated to the Housing Element update process which has studied and solicited feedback from the public through a survey on issues related to fair housing practices to be us ed in the development of housing element goals, policies, and strategies which promote fair housing practices.
Table E (Attachment G ) is only completed if the City has approved a commercial development bonus, pursuant to Government Code Section 65915.7(a ) which states “When an applicant for approval of a commercial development has entered into an agreement for partnered housing described in subdivision (c) to contribute affordable housing through a joint project or two separate projects encompassing affor dable housing, the city, county, or city and county shall grant to the commercial developer a development bonus as prescribed in subdivision (b). Housing shall be constructed on the site of the commercial development or on a site that…” meets the specified criteria. • No such approval has occurred in Campbell during the reporting period.
Table F (Attachment H) is only completed if the City has qualifying units that have been substantially rehabilitated, converted from non -affordable to affordable by acqui sition, and preserved consistent with specified standards. To count units reported in this table as progress towards RHNA, the City would need to provide specific information to demonstrate that the units meet the standards set forth in Government Code Section 65583.1, subdivision (c)(2). While the City has had a substantial number of properties remodeled or reconstructed, those units are not counted on this form. Further, while the City has legalized a great number of unpermitted accessory dwelling s in 202 1, those units are captured as net new units on Table A2.
• No such units have been rehabilitated, converted, or preserved in Campbell during the reporting period.
9 Packet Pg. 43
2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) Page 5 of 6 Table G (Attachment I ) is only completed if the housing element sites inventory contains a s ite which is or was owned by the City of Campbell, and has been sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of during the reporting year. • No such properties exist, nor have any such activities occurred, in Campbell during the reporting period.
Table H (Attachment J) requires cities to create an inventory of surplus lands and all lands in excess of its foreseeable needs, if any, in all urbanized areas and urban clusters which the city or any of its departments, agencies, or authorities owns or controls.
• No such properties were identified by the Public Works Department. An exhibit of all City owned properties has been provided for informational purposes only and will not be included as part of the Annual Progress Report (reference Attachment M – City-owned Properties – Informational Only).
Summary Table (Attachment K ) is a summary of issued building permits by affordability level, applied/proposed versus approved/denied units, and any projects that were submitted, approved, and constructed under SB35 streamlining legislation. • During the reporting period, 68 building permits were issued for new market -rate housing units, 2 building permits were issued for very -low income housing units, 31 housing applications were submitted, 26 units were approved, and no housin g applications were denied.
LEAP Reporting (Attachment L) serves to satisfy the City’s obligation to annually report on the status and proposed uses of LEAP funding. The report is also required to address the housing impact within the jurisdiction, incl uding a summary of building permits, certificates of occupancy or other completed entitlements.
The City of Campbell was awarded $150,000 in LEAP funding which is to be used toward the preparation and adoption of Campbell’s Plan for Housing ( 2023-2031 Housing Element) and planning documents and process improvements that accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance in implementing the 6 th RHNA Cycle. The report documents the City’s progress toward selecting a consultant (M -Group), conducting com prehensive public outreach, and identifying potential housing opportunity sites and densities to meet and exceed the City’s RHNA.
FISCAL IMPACTS
There are no direct financial impacts related to the submittal of the Annual Progress Report.

Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
The City will prepare a program EIR for the General Plan / Housing Element Update that specifically evaluates the potential environmental impacts that could result from the land use modifications identified in the General Plan / Housing Element Update, including future development of the identified Housing Opportunity Sites.
As a first step in the EIR development process, the Community Development Department (“Department”), supported by the City’s Environmental Consultant, De Novo Planning, will publish a Notice of Preparation (NOP) and conduct a public scoping meeting to facilitate public input on environmental areas that should be studied in the EIR. The Department anticipates publishing the NOP between March 15 and March 30, 2022, and scheduling the public scoping meeting for the April 12, 2022 Planning Commission meeting. Members of the public will have a 30 -day public comment period from the date the NOP is p ublished to provide written comments related to the scope of the EIR. Members of the public may also provide feedback at the April 12, 2022 Planning Commission meeting. To ensure as many members of the public as possible are reached, the NOP will be sent to all 4,500 individuals included on the City’s interested party list for the General Plan / Housing Element Update, published in the local newspaper, published on the City’s website, and pushed out through the City’s social media outlets.

Public Outreach and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
In the fall of 2021, Community Development Department staff conducted a comprehensive public outreach effort to facilitate feedback regarding Campbell’s Plan for Housing. This included mailed postcards to all known addresses in the City (over 18,000), creation of a sign up email notification list that included 4,500 contacts, pop -up booths at the Farmer’s Market and Downtown festivals, four community meetings, the creation of an online survey, and smaller meetings with stakeholders including affordable housing developers, schools, ministerial groups, and the Chamber of Commerce.
As this outreach effort focused primarily on facilitating feedback regarding overall housing needs in Campbell and the potential location of Housing Opportunity Sites, staff is preparing to conduct a second public outreach and stakeholder engagement effort that focuses on policies and programs that support housing needs. Under this strategy, the Department plans to con duct a community wide meeting on March 24, 2022 , and conduct smaller group stakeholder meetings with service providers, advocates, and 10 Packet Pg. 78
Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs Page 5 of 8 representatives associated with specific housing needs, such as homelessness, seniors, communities of color, and persons with disabilities. The Department and consultant team has prepared the attached draft stakeholder list (Attachment B) that includes service providers and other interested parties that will be contacted during this process. The Department is refining this l ist based on feedback from other City Departments and any City Council input.
The Department will send out notifications of the community meeting and upcoming Commission and Council meetings through the email notification list and social media notifications. Feedback from this public outreach and stakeholder engagement will be presented to the Planning Commission at its April 12, 2022 meeting and the City Council at its April 2 0, 2022 special meeting as part of its evaluation of housing policies and programs.
Potential housing policies and programs
In the April 12 , 2022, and April 20, 2022, Commission and Council meetings, staff will present background information to assist the City in selecting the appropriate housing policies and programs to include i n Campbell’s Plan for Housing. Per State Law, Campbell’s Plan for Housing must include housing policies and programs that adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community and reduce any identified g overnment barriers to housing .
This includes meeting the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and affirmatively furthering fair housing within the jurisdiction.
The upcoming meetings will also include an evaluation of the status and effectiveness of the programs within Campbell’s existing (2015 -2023) Housing Element, demographic data showing the housing needs in the city and unique challenges for groups with special needs (Seniors, unhoused individuals), and a list of potential Housing policies and pr ograms the City may pursue. For reference, attached is the City’s existing Housing Element (Attachment C).
Staff has listed below an initial list of policies and programs recommended to be considered based on the initial feedback from the community and focus groups (market- rate developers, affordable housing developers, property owners, and businesses) to date. This list will be expanded and refined based on further public outreach and stakeholder engagement in the coming weeks.

Related Work Plan Efforts
Zoning Ordinance Amendments
As discussed in the City Council’s February 24, 2022 Priority Setting Session, the Department is currently finalizing a workplan to complete updates to Campbell’s Zoning Ordinance that will act to implement the zoning standards for the Housing Opportunity Sites and other land use changes identified in the General Plan /Housing Element 10 Packet Pg. 80
Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs Page 7 of 8 Update. This zoning update will also act to implement Objective Standards for Campbell’s residential districts in accordance with the Housing Accountability Act, which has been on the Department’s workplan. The Department anticipates returning to Council in April 2022 with a report on the strategy to complete these updates, including identified consultant support and a phasing approach to completing the updates in a timely manner.
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo – Light Rail Station Area Planning In alignment with Transit Oriented Development principles identified in Campbell’s General Plan and in regional and state policies , t he Draft Housing Opportunity Sites reviewed by the Council at the January 25, 2022, meeting include a concentration of higher density housing around Campbell’s three light rail stations (Hamilton, Downtown, Winchester). In order to further guide how housing development in these areas creates better integration with the light rail stations and is developed within a broader context of a transit district, the Department has partnered with the City and Regional Planning Program at Cal Poly Sa n Luis Obispo to facilitate a studio design study of the Winchester and Downtown light rail stations as part of their Spring 2022 student curriculum. During this student led studio work, the Masters and Undergraduate city planning students will study the a reas around these light rail stations and present vision concepts for a transit district. As part of this work, the students will visit Campbell on April 6, 2022 for a site visit and subsequently present the final vision concepts to the Planning Commission at a special meeting at the end of May 2022.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-1
Community Context
Incorporated in 1952, Campbell is a
community of approximately 40,000
residents centrally located in Silicon
Valley. Nearby communities include San
Jose to the west, east and north, and Los
Gatos and Saratoga to the south. From
the mid-1 850’s, Campbell was primarily
an agricultural production center, with
fruits as its major crops. By 1950,
however, croplands were beginning to be
transformed into residential
neighborhoods.
Campbell’s population doubled during the 1960’s, slowed down in the 1970’s, and grew again in the 1980’s. Between 1980 and 1990, the City’s population increased by 33 percent, a level of growth unmatched by nearby communities. Since 1990, however, population growth has been limited in Campbell. Today, Campbell is a suburban and largely built-out community. However, many of the older strip commercial areas are showing signs of age and obsolescence. The City of Campbell has adopted a variety of special area plans to encourage revitalization efforts in these older commercial areas.
Campbell offers a mix of housing types, including single-family homes, townhomes, garden apartments, condominium developments, and live-work space. Of the approximately 16,000 housing units in the City, 58 percent are single-family homes, 40 percent are multi-family units, and two percent are mobile homes or other types of residential options. Housing costs are relatively high in Campbell, as is typical in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley in particular. In Campbell, the median price of a single-family home sold in 2013 had increased by 10 percent to $810,000 since 2008, while the market rate rents for two-bedroom apartments ranged from $1,595 to $2,845 per month.
Since the last Housing Element adopted in 2009, the City of Campbell has been very active in processing and approving numerous housing projects of all types. From January 2009 to December 2013, the City has approved or issued permits for 543 new housing units. This level of housing approval and production is equal to 61 percent of the City’s total Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 892 units. Due to the economic downturn that began in 2007, not all of the approved projects have proceeded with construction, particularly since a strong economic recovery did not begin until 2012.
This progress to date on the current “fair share” housing goals represents a validation of the 2001 General Plan strategy to promote new in-fill mixed-use projects near transit corridors and within targeted revitalization areas. The City has also allowed development of new housing within established neighborhoods when consistent with adopted General Plan policies and zoning regulations.
Campbell has been proactive in developing and implementing innovative housing policies including:
Adoption of an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance;
General Plan vision for Transit Oriented Development;
10.c
Packet Pg. 90
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-2
Utilization of flexible parking requirements; and,
Identification of Priority Development Areas as part of the Plan Bay Area process.
Like most communities in Silicon Valley, Campbell is home to employers in the high technology industry, however most employers are small to mid-size companies. As of 2007 (the most recent data available), Campbell had an employment base of approximately 20,650 jobs in about 1,450 businesses. Since that time the trends in local employment have shown an increase in the retail and service sectors with a corresponding decline of manufacturing and technology jobs. The City has been able to achieve a relative balance between jobs and housing, and strives to maintain this balance. According to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Campbell had a jobs/employed residents ratio of 1.2, indicating that there is an almost equal number of employed residents and jobs within the City.
Housing affordability is a major issue in the Bay Area, with a significant number of households in the region that are overpaying for housing. The shortage of affordable housing particularly affects lower-income renters and first- time homebuyers, and has impacted the City’s ability to maintain civic workforce occupations such as public safety workers and teachers. The City of Campbell has been active in promoting housing affordability through the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements and Density Bonus provisions. The City also previously supported non-profit housing providers and first-time home buyers; however, since the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in 2011, the City no longer administers these programs. As part of this Housing Element update, the City will look for additional means to expand the supply of affordable housing, including facilitating residential development in mixed- use and priority development areas and around light rail stations.
Campbell’s quality residential neighborhoods, strong employment base, high level of public services, and well-regarded school system, all contribute to its attractiveness as a place to live. Over the next eight years, Campbell is faced with various important housing issues and challenges:
Providing housing affordable to all segments of the population; Preserving the quality of the housing stock;
Maintaining a balance between employment and housing opportunities; and Providing new types of housing in response to changing demographic trends.
This Housing Element provides policies and programs to address these and other related issues.
Relationship to the General Plan
The 2015-2023 Housing Element is one of the fi ve elements of Campbell’s comprehensive General Plan.
The Plan consists of the following elements: Land Use and Transportation; Open Space, Parks and Public Facilities; Conservation and Natural Resources; Health and Safety; and Housing. The Housing Element builds upon the other General Plan Elements and is consistent with the policies set forth in those elements. For example, the Land Use and Transportation Element focuses residential growth along commercial corridors and around transit stations, and provides the basis for the residential sites inventory contained in the Housing Element. Whenever any Element of the General Plan is amended in the future, the Housing Element will be reviewed and modified, if necessary, to ensure continued consistency between elements.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-3
Role of Housing Element
Every jurisdiction in California must have a General Plan and every General Plan must contain a Housing Element. While jurisdictions must review and revise all elements of their General Plan regularly to ensure that they remain up to date, State law is much more specific in regard to the schedule for updating the Housing Element. Recent changes in State Law allow Campbell’s Housing Element to cover a period of eight-years extending from 2015 to 2023. Most other elements of the General Plan typically cover a 15 to 30-year planning horizon.
The 2015-2023 Housing Element identifies strategies and programs that focus on the following:
1) Preserving and improving housing and neighborhoods;
2) Assisting in the provision of affordable housing;
3) Minimizing governmental and other constraints to housing investment; 4) Promoting fair and equal housing opportunities; and 5) Providing adequate housing sites.
Organization of the Housing Element
The Complete Housing Element consists of four primary sections and the technical appendices which provide additional, and more detailed, information upon which the Housing Element is based. The four sections of the Element include the Introduction, Housing Needs Summary, Housing Resources, and the Housing Plan. The technical appendices provide supportive information on the Housing Needs Assessment, Governmental Constraints, Housing Element Accomplishments, and a detailed Inventory of the Opportunity Sites.
The Housing Element consists of the following major components:
A summary of the City’s existing and projected housing needs; An assessment of the land, financial and administrative resources available to address Campbell’s housing needs; and
A Housing Plan to address the City’s identified housing needs, including housing goals, policies, and programs.
The Technical Background Reports contain additional information on the following:
o Housing Needs Assessment (Appendix A) describes and analyzes Campbell’s population, household, and housing characteristics and trends;
o Housing Constraints (Appendix B) assesses potential market, governmental, and other constraints to the development and affordability of housing; o Housing Accomplishments (Appendix C) evaluates the City’s progress in implementing the housing programs established in the 2009 - 2014 Housing Element; and,

Public Participation
Opportunities for residents to
provide input on housing issues and
recommend strategies are critical
to the development of appropriate
and effective programs to address
Campbell’s housing needs. In 2014,
the City conducted two public
workshops as an opportunity to
gather community input for the
Housing Element. The City
promoted the workshops through
advertisements in local
newspapers, on the local
government access television
station, at the local library, and on the City’s website. The City also directly mailed workshop information to local non-profit housing developers, mobile home parks, and BMR developers. Workshop participants included homeowners, renters, developers, local housing and social service providers, and City staff.
Substantially more people attended the 2014 outreach meetings than attended the meetings for previous housing elements.
The first workshop in February 2014 focused on informing the residents about the housing needs for the City, and recording attendee’s comments and answering their questions. Community comments focused on how the Housing Element would affect local development and individual property rights.
The second workshop, held two months later in April 2014, reviewed the existing policies and strategies as well as possible locations of future opportunity sites. The participants provided their feedback on the existing programs, where new housing should be located, and what new housing should look like in terms of densities and style. There was a substantial amount of agreement among the workshop participants on how future housing should be provided. The workshop participants felt that:
Higher residential densities are more appropriate in the identified revitalization area in the Priority Development Area (PDAs) around the downtown and along Winchester Boulevard; New housing should be available for both owners and renters; Larger residential units (with 4 or more bedrooms) should be provided by more traditional single family detached styled units;
More accessory dwelling units should be allowed; and
Additional senior housing opportunities should be provided.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-5
Following the community workshops, City staff conducted a public study session with the City Council in June 2014. The purpose of the workshop was to ask for the City Council’s general direction on the appropriate policies and programs to address the community’s identified housing needs in the context of local resources. During the Study Session, a number of residents addressed the City Council and encouraged the Council to keep the maximum residential density at 27 units per acre. As result of the presentation, public comments, and the Council discussion the City Council members who were present suggested that staff:
Focus the Opportunity Sites in the PDA and around the VTA Stations; Consider different approaches to replace lost housing program resources; and Maintain the current maximum by-right residential density (27 units per acre), but review the possibility of allowing higher densities in certain circumstances.
Upon completion of the Draft Housing Element, the document will be reviewed by the Planning Commission, the City Council and the public. After approval, the draft Housing Element is sent to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review. After review, the Planning Commission and the City Council will hold public hearings. Comments received from HCD are required to be heard before those decision-making bodies. To ensure that all economic segments of the community can be involved throughout the process, notification of meeting on the Housing Element are published in the local newspaper in advance of each hearing, and copies of the Element are available for public review at City Hall, the Public Library, and on the City’s website. Additional information on the public outreach process is included in Attachment E.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-7
Introduction
In the 1940s, Campbell’s fruit orchard
heritage slowly began being replaced by
housing subdivisions. Today, most of the
new residential development in
Campbell occurs on commercial
property, designated for mixed-use.
The City of Campbell is committed to
assuring the availability of adequate
housing for all social and economic
segments of the community. This
section presents a summary of
Campbell’s existing and future housing
needs as identified in the Housing Element Technical Report, Appendix A. Appendix A provides a more detailed analysis of local demographic, household, and housing characteristics and trends in an effort to determine the nature and extent of specific housing needs in Campbell.
Existing Housing Needs
The summary of existing housing needs is organized into four areas: housing availability, housing affordability, housing adequacy and special needs households. These housing needs are summarized in Table H-1.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-8
Housing Availability
Campbell’s 2010 housing stock consists of 16,950 housing units, of which 58 percent are single -family homes including attached, detached and condominium units, 40 percent are multi-family apartment units, including duplex and triplex units, and two percent are mobile homes and other types of residential accommodations. Residential growth during the 2000s was rather limited, with only about three percent of the housing stock built after 2000.
Vacancies indicate the demand and availability of housing. As is the case in most Silicon Valley communities, residential vacancy rates are fairly low in Campbell. According to 2014 State Department of Finance statistics, the City’s overall vacancy rate was just 4.6 percent, close to the 5 percent ideal vacancy rate for rental units and the 3 percent ideal for ownership units.
During the one year period from January 2013 to December 2013, a total of 438 homes were sold in Campbell. Two-thirds of the recent home sales were single-family homes while one-third were condominium units. The median sales price for a single-family home in 2013 was $810,000, an increase of over 10% since 2008. In contrast, the median sale price for a condominium in 2013 was $515,000, virtually unchanged since 2008. However with the rebounding economy, the prices of condominiums are also expected to increase.
The rental market is comprised primarily of apartment units. Most of the apartment rental stock consists of one- and two-bedroom units. In January 2014, the median rents for the one-bedroom and two- bedroom units were $1,725 and $2,070, respectively. Very few three-bedroom rental units (either apartments or single family detached homes) are available, thus limiting the rental options for large family households.
Housing Affordability
The level of overpayment is commonly used as a measure of housing affordability. Overpayment is defined as spending more than 30 percent of gross household income on housing. By this standard, 43 percent of renters and 38 percent of homeowners in Campbell overpay for housing, similar to the overpayment rate countywide. Rental overpayment is particularly acute among senior households, with one-third of senior renters spending more than half their incomes on rent.
An assessment of the affordability of current market rents and housing prices in Campbell reveals the following. Citywide median rents are above the affordability level for the many lower income households, making it difficult for lower income occupations such as nursing aides, retail salespersons and childcare providers to rent in Campbell. For-sale housing prices in Campbell are beyond the reach of even moderate income households, impacting the ability of occupations such as school teachers, clergy, and computer support specialists to purchase housing where they work.
Home foreclosures, a major problem during and immediately after the Great Recession between 2007 and 2009, had a major impact on housing sales, with foreclosures comprising 40 percent of all housing re- sales in Santa Clara County. However, since the rebound of the regional economy after the Great Recession, the number of new home foreclosures has dropped substantially reducing the magnitude of the problem.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-9
Housing Adequacy
A common measure of housing adequacy and quality is the age distribution of the housing stock. A general rule in the housing industry is that structures over 30 years typically begin to show signs of deterioration and often require reinvestment to maintain/upgrade their quality. Unless properly maintained, homes older than 50 years often require major renovations to remain in good working order.
As of 2010, nearly 40 percent of housing units in Campbell were over 35 years old, and about 28 percent of Campbell’s housing stock was constructed before 1960. Campbell’s San Tomas neighborhood, located in the southwestern quadrant of the City, contains some of the City’s older housing stock, with many homes in need of rehabilitation improvements.
As stated in the 2001 Housing Element, approximately nine percen t of Campbell’s housing stock was estimated to be in substandard condition, with six percent of units suitable for rehabilitation and three percent requiring replacement. Applying these same percentages to Campbell’s current pre-1980 housing stock, an estimated 900 units in Campbell may be substandard. Of these units, 600 are estimated to be suitable for rehabilitation and up to 300 could require substantial rehabilitation or replacement. In addition to the aging of the housing stock, the 2010 Census identified 216 housing units that lacked either plumbing facilities or a complete kitchen.
The level of household overcrowding is another indicator of housing adequacy and quality. Overcrowding occurs when a household is too large for a particular housing unit. When overcrowding happens, it tends to accelerate the deterioration of homes. As of the 2010 Census, a total of 635 Campbell households, about 4% of all households, live in overcrowded conditions. Seventy-two percent of the overcrowded households are renters.
Special Needs Groups
Certain segments of the community may have particular difficulties in finding decent, affordable housing because of their special needs and circumstances. In Campbell, these special needs groups include the elderly, disabled persons, female-headed families with children, large households, and the homeless.
Seniors: Seniors typically have special housing needs due to three concerns: limited/fixed income, higher health care costs, and physical limitations. According to the 2010 Census, 17 percent (2,824) of households in Campbell contain one or more persons age 65 years and older. Over 60 percent of the City’s elderly households are homeowners. Because of physical and/or other limitations, senior homeowners may have difficulty in performing regular home maintenance or repair activities. Elderly renters also have significant housing needs. Nearly sixty percent of Campbell’s elderly renter households overpay for housing, reflecting their limited income and the high costs of housing in Campbell.
Persons with Disabilities: Physical and mental disabilities can hinder access to traditionally designed housing units (and other facilities) as well as potentially limit the ability to earn income. Disabilities refer to mental, physical, or health conditions that last over six months. The 2010 Census documented 2,857 persons over the age of five with a disability in Campbell, representing 8 percent of this population group.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-10
Persons with Developmental Disabilities: Persons aged 18 years and older with developmental disabilities require continuous assistance and constitute a special needs group. Development disabilities include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism, as well as other disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation (or that require treatment similar to individuals with mental retardation), but does not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature (though some developmentally disabled persons may also have physical disabilities). According to the State Department of Developmental Services there are 134 developmentally disabled persons over the age of 17 in Postal Code 95008 (which comprises most of the City of Campbell).
Female-Headed Families with Children: Female-headed households with children require special consideration and assistance as a result of their greater need for affordable housing, accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services. According to the 2010 Census, Campbell is home to 1,741 female-headed households, of which 937 (or 55 percent) are with children under 18 years of age. These households are particularly vulnerable because these single parent households must balance the needs of their children with work responsibilities. Approximately 10 percent of female- headed families with children live in poverty, about three times the number of female-headed households without children under the age of 18.
Large Households: Large households are defined as those with five or more members and typically consist of mostly families with children. Lower-income large households often live in overcrowded conditions because of the income limitations and the limited supply of affordable housing units with three or more bedrooms. Campbell is home to approximately 1,283 large households, of which nearly half are renter households (2010 Census). While there is an adequate supply of larger housing units, the affordability of these units for large families can be a problem and can lead to overcrowded conditions.
Homeless: Homelessness continues to be one of most visible reminders of the pressing needs facing families and individuals in marginal economic, housing, and health conditions. This population consists of a wide range of persons and families suffering from domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse, and joblessness among a number of other conditions. The 2013 Santa Clara county Homeless Census and Survey identified 91 homeless persons in Campbell. The closest homeless shelters are located outside of Campbell in the San Jose area.
Sustainable Community Strategy & Future Housing Needs
The primary objectives of the State's Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) process are to increase the supply of housing and ensure that local governments consider housing needs for households at all income levels. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is the regional agency that distributes the RHNA to the counties and cities. This process occurs in two steps. The first step is the allocation of the total number of units by each jurisdiction (i.e. each county and city). The second step in the process is to break out this total allocation into the four required income categories.
The Regional Housing Need Allocation process began in 2012 with the development of a process to integrate transportation and housing planning through a sustainable community strategy identified in Assembly Bill 375 (2008). AB 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 represents an effort to reduce green house gases emissions associated with motor vehicles by coordinating the location of new jobs, housing, and public transportation infrastructure. A key element
10.c
Packet Pg. 99
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-11
of the Act is the integration of jobs, housing, and transportation infrastructure through a regionally prepared Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS).
The SCS for the Bay Area was prepared by ABAG and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and was approved in 2013; it identified Priority Development Areas (PDAs) where new housing growth and transportation infrastructure would be focused. This integration of transportation and housing planning resulted in a RHNA process based upon both a Sustainability Component and a Fair Share Component.
Using the PDA framework from the SCS in the RHNA methodology promotes growth in sustainable locations and is a key to ensuring consistency between the two planning documents. Directing growth to infill locations is a key component of protecting agricultural and natural resources. This methodology also recognizes the multiple benefits for local communities and the region as a whole of encouraging housing, particularly affordable housing, in the neighborhoods near transit that local communities have identified as priorities for development and investment to create complete communities.
The Sustainability Component integrates the compact growth principles from the Bay Area Plan with the RHNA methodology. Following the land use distribution specified in the Plan Bay Area Sustainable Community Strategies (SCS) Plan which allocated new housing into PDAs and non-PDA areas, 70 percent of the total housing need was allocated based on growth in PDAs and the remaining 30 percent was allocated based on growth in non-PDA locations. The 70% in PDA goal is a regional target. Individual jurisdictions are not expected to provide 70 percent of the new housing in the PDAs.
The Fair Share Component allocates housing need based upon local community characteristics and past performance. All jurisdictions were assigned a minimum of 40 percent of their new housing units during the 2015-2023 period. This establishes a starting point or minimum threshold to ensure that all jurisdictions are planning for housing to accommodate at least a portion of the housing need generated by the population within that jurisdiction. This base allocation was then modified based upon a variety of fair share and equity factors. The Fair Share factors include the following:
Upper Housing Threshold: If the SCS Plan projects growth in a jurisdiction's PDAs that meets or exceeds 110 percent of the jurisdiction's expected household formation growth, that jurisdiction is not assigned additional units. The expected household formation is used as an indicator of the demand for new housing to accommodate new families/households. This ensures that cities with PDAs are not overburdened.
Fair Share Factors: The following three factors were applied to a jurisdiction's non-PDA growth:
1. Past RHNA (Jobs:Housing Balance) Performance: Jurisdictions with a lower number of housing affordable to lower income households received a higher allocation.
2. Employment: Jurisdictions with a higher number of existing jobs in non-PDA areas received a higher allocation.
3. Transit: Jurisdictions with higher transit frequency and coverage receive a higher allocation.
The second step in the process is dividing this allocation into the four income categories defined by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. The income allocation portion of the RHNA method is designed to ensure that each jurisdiction in the Bay Area plans for housing for households of every income category. The income allocation method gives jurisdictions that have a relatively higher proportion of households in a certain income category a smaller allocation of housing units in that same

category. For example, jurisdictions that already supply a large amount of affordable housing receive lower affordable housing allocations. This promotes the state objective for reducing concentrations of poverty and increasing the mix of housing types among cities and counties equitably. The RHNA methodology for determining the number of units by income category is the same method that was used for the 2007-2014 RHNA. As a result of this process, Campbell’s share of future regional housing needs is a total of 933 new units over the 2015-2023 planning period. The income categories of Campbell’s future housing allocation are based upon the median County income and are presented below.

The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) represents the minimum number of housing units each community is required to plan for by providing “adequate sites” through the general plan and shown on the zoning map. A summary of the potential sites is outlined in Section 4, Housing Resources. A detailed review of the potential opportunity sites is contained in Appendix D.
Accomplishments in Previous Housing Element Cycle
The 2009-2014 Housing Element contained 24 implementation programs to meet local housing needs and comply with State Law. Fourteen of the implementation program set out functions and activities that corresponded to typical local government activities, while two of the programs involved adoption of an ordinance. The remaining eight programs involved the funding and implementation of various ongoing housing activities and programs. A summary of the items not implemented during the proceeding Housing Element cycle is contained in Table H-2.

While the City did initiate programs identified in the 2009-2014 Housing Element at the beginning of the Housing Element cycle, the loss of the Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-a-side Funds and a locally controlled Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, combined with the economic downturn effectively prevented the active implementation of many housing programs. The loss of the Housing Set-a-side funding and reductions to the general fund resulted in the elimination of some City staff positions, which subsequently results in the City’s inability to implement some 2009 Housing Element programs. All of the eight programs providing funding for housing-related programs are currently without a funding source.
The important exceptions include the planning and development related measures that are implemented by the Planning Division as part of its normal operations. Examples of these programs include: Program H-4.2a, Mixed-use Development; Program H-4.3a, Planned for Densities; Program H-5.1a, Density Bonus; and Program H-5.2a, Secondary Dwelling Units. All of these programs enabled Campbell to continue to approve new housing to meet Campbell’s identified housing need. The three large affordable and/or senior housing projects that were either recently completed or will be completed in 2014 are examples of these ongoing efforts to provide additional housing.
Of the two ordinance amendments contained in the 2009 Housing Element, one was adopted. The Zoning Text Amendment to implement SB-2 and address other minor code modifications (Program H-5.3a) was adopted in 2014. Program H-3.2a to amend Campbell’s Inclusionary Housing Provisions to provide greater flexibility in the required income categories was not completed. This item will be carried over into the 2015-2023 Housing Element for implementation within the next two years.
Table H-3 summarizes the quantified objectives contained in Campbell’s 2009 – 2014 Housing Element and the City’s progress in fulfilling these objectives. This information is based upon a review of residential building permits issued between January 2009 and December 2012 with the addition of other housing units that are currently under construction. Using the State’s standard affordability density of 20 units per acre, most of the housing constructed in Campbell is potentially affordable for most income groups and have been allocated to the Low Income Category. However, because of national economic conditions,

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-15
Introduction
A variety of resources are available for the
development, rehabilitation, and preservation of
housing in Campbell. This includes the City’s
ability to meets its share of regional housing
needs through the General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance, the inventory of available sites, the
financial resources available to support the
provision of affordable housing, and the
administrative resources available to assist in
implementing City housing programs.
General Plan
The 2001 Campbell General Plan provided a 20 to 25 year framework for the development of the City.
The Campbell General Plan contains four elements, in addition to the Housing Element. These other Elements are Land Use & Transportation, Open Space, Parks & Public Facilities, Health & Safety, and Conservation & Natural Resources. The Land Use Map contains 19 land use categories identifying a wide range of residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use, institutional and open space land uses. The land uses integrate with the Zoning Ordinance to identify a range of residential densities (regulated by residential densities) and non-residential development intensities (regulated by floor area ratio).
General Plan Policies and Strategies
Campbell’s Land Use and Transportation Element establish various policies and strategies in support of housing development. Some of these policies and strategies include, but are not limited to, the following:
Policy LUT-1.5: Land Use Planning and the Regional Transportation System: Support land use planning that complements the regional transportation system.
Strategy LUT-1.5a: Transit-Oriented Developments: Encourage transit-oriented developments including employment centers such as office and research and development facilities and the City’s highest density residential projects by coordinating the location, intensity and mix of land uses with transportation resources, such as Light Rail.
Strategy LUT-1.5d: Higher Floor Area Ratios (FARs): Develop provisions for allowing higher FARs in new projects that provide a mix of uses, maintain a jobs/housing balance or are located within proximity to Light Rail.
10.c
Packet Pg. 104
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-16
Policy LUT-3.1: Variety of Residential Densities: Provide land use categories for and maintenance of a variety of residential densities to offer existing and future residents of all income levels, age groups and special needs sufficient opportunities and choices for locating in Campbell.
Strategy LUT-3.1a: Consistency with Housing Element: Ensure consistency with the City’s Housing Element including ensuring that there is adequate land designated to meet Housing goals.
Strategy LUT-3.1c: High Density Residential: Allow higher residential densities in the North of Campbell Area (NOCA), South of Campbell Area (SOCA), and areas near the Light Rail stations as an incentive to redevelop older, less intensive uses.
Policy LUT-5.3: Variety of Commercial and Office Uses: Maintain a variety of attractive and convenient commercial and office uses that provide needed goods, services and entertainment.
Strategy LUT-5.3i: Mixed-Use in Commercial Districts: Consider revising the Zoning Ordinance to include standards for mixed-use development (residential and/or office above ground floor retail) in commercial districts.
Policy LUT-14.6: Mixed Residential and Non-residential Uses: Allow residential uses that are mixed whether horizontally or vertically with non-residential uses.
In addition to these general policies, the General Plan contains policies related to a number of special plan areas within Campbell. These special planning areas include the Winchester Boulevard corridor, Pruneyard/Creekside area (which includes portions of Bascom/East Hamilton Avenue area), the North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA) Plan Area, the South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Plan Area, as well as the other residential areas surrounding the downtown. Higher residential and mixed-use developments are also encouraged in these areas. The City Council has also adopted other special master plans to facilitate mixed-use and residential development along the Winchester Boulevard corridor and East Campbe ll Avenue areas.
The stated intent of the General Plan mixed-use categories is to integrate residential uses with traditional commercial and/or professional office uses. In furtherance of this goal, residential uses are permitted at 27 dwelling units per acre in mixed-use zones, and the residential component is not counted against the allowable commercial Floor Area Ratio (FAR). In this way, sites currently occupied by commercial uses may be redeveloped with residential and commercial uses, improving the financial feasibility of projects.
The City also provides additional zoning incentives for the inclusion of residential uses in new mixed-use developments, such as reduced parking requirements, including shared parking between commercial and residential uses. A reduction in the required open space for the residential component may be granted where site characteristics preclude fulfillment of the entire open space requirement. This is discussed in more detail in Appendix B.
Since establishment of mixed-use zoning districts under the 2001 General Plan (as described in Strategy LUT 5.3i), development on mixed-use parcels has consisted entirely of residential uses or residential uses
10.c

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-17
with ground floor commercial. None of the mixed-use sites has been developed with an entirely commercial use.
Minimum Residential Density
Previous Housing Elements have contained provisions for a minimum residential density for each General Plan and Zoning designation. This requirement, identified as Policy H-4.3 in the 2009-2014 Housing Element encourages “residential development that is proposed near existing light rail stations (within 1/4 mile radius) and/or within the boundaries of the Winchester Boulevard Plan and East Campbell Avenue plan areas, to achieve at least 75 percent of the maximum General Plan Land Use category densities.” This provision is carried over into the 2015-2023 Housing Element and will facilitate the full development of the identified opportunity sites.
Zoning Ordinance Provisions
Residential Densities
The Zoning Ordinance and Map implements the development envisioned on the General Plan Land Use Plan. These policies, together with existing zoning regulations, establish the amount and distribution of land allocated for different uses within Campbell. As summarized below in Table H-5, the Land Use Element provides for six residential land use designations, a mobile home park designation, one commercial designation, and three mixed-use designations that allow for residential uses.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-18
Each of these land use designations has one or more zoning districts to implement their vision of the future. Each of these zones contains detailed (and often very specific) development criteria to guide their development. The maximum densities for the zones allowing residential land uses are summarized below.
o Single Family Detached Residential Zones – between 3 and 6 dwelling units per acre (depending on the specific zone).
o Smaller Lot Single Family/Duplex/Triplex Residential Zones – between 6 and 13 dwelling units per acre (depending on the specific zone)
o Multiple Family Condominium/Attached Residential Zones - between 14 and 27 dwelling units per acre (depending on the specific zone).
o Mixed-use/Planned Development Residential – up to 27 dwelling units per acre.
o Central Business District Commercial – no numeric standard, allowable residential units are determined by the design of the project on a case-by-case basis.
Secondary Dwelling Units
The City allows secondary dwelling units on 10,000 square foot sized lots for the development of secondary units, resulting in 1,000 properties being eligible for secondary dwelling units. Given their relatively limited size and historical rent levels, secondary units will most likely be occupied by lower- income residents, including the elderly, college students, and low-income wage earners. Secondary dwelling units require a ministerial zoning clearance usually involving just a zoning compliance sign-off on a building permit. Based on the level of secondary unit approval and development during the prior planning period, the City can reasonably anticipate between 8 and 16 additional secondary units during the current period, helping to address the needs of lower income renters.
Sites for Special Needs Housing
Consistent with the requirements of SB-2, the City allows emergency shelters by right in a portion of the M-1 Zone. The area is located just south of San Tomas Expressway between Winchester Boulevard and Los Gatos Creek. This location is centrally located in an area well served by transit and commercial services. Included in the ordinance are provisions to allow Single Room Occupancy (SRO) facilities within the R-3 High Density Residential Zoning District. The zoning ordinance also regulates transitional and supportive housing in the same manner as other residential uses in the equivalent zone. Additional information is provided in Appendix B.
Mixed-Use Development
Many areas in Campbell are zoned P-D (Planned Development). The P-D Zone allows for flexibility in development standards and requirements where optimum quantity and use of open space and exemplary building design are provided. Mixed-use development is also encouraged in these areas, allowing both residential and commercial uses on the same parcel. A key strategy of the City’s General Plan is to integrate residential development along designated commercial corridors to create activity along the street, and provide a variety of housing types near work and shopping. This strategy ensures safer, more

viable commercial areas, with mixed-use residents helping to ensure the viability of the commercial uses.
Residential uses are encouraged but not included in the calculation of the FAR. Campbell also allows for a shared parking reduction and a reduction in the required open space for the residential component.
The City has approved several mixed-use projects since adoption of the prior Housing Element.
Housing Opportunity Site Inventory
A key component of any Housing Element is an assessment of whether or not a community can provide sufficient sites to accommodate their Regional Housing Need Allocation. This section summarizes the number of available opportunity sites and the relative affordability of these opportunity sites. As is demonstrated in this section, Campbell can accommodate both the number of units and appropriate levels of affordability specified in the RHNA. The City plans to fulfill its share of regional housing needs using a combination of the following methods by focusing (but not limiting) development in opportunity site areas, through the development of secondary dwelling units, and residential projects with development entitlements.
Housing Opportunity Site Availability
A detailed analysis of potential opportunity site areas was conducted during the preparation of the Housing Element. The focus of the site selection was the need to ensure that the objectives of the Housing Element were integrated with the other elements of the General Plan. The Land Use and Transportation Element of the General Plan has an objective of concentrating new residential development around the existing VTA transit stations and around the downtown (i.e. the designated Priority Development Area) to facilitate the redevelopment of areas with under-utilized sites and/or occupied with obsolete buildings, and to try to reduce traffic impacts. Five of the six Opportunity Site Areas meet this objective. The sixth Opportunity Site Area, the Dot Avenue area was also included since it represents one of the largest vacant residential sites in Campbell.
The initial screening process resulted in an extensive list of several hundred properties capable of accommodating over 2,000 new dwelling units. This preliminary list was presented at the Second Community Outreach Workshop held on April 29, 2014. Based upon the input from the community, six opportunity site areas were identified. The final list of Opportunity Sites capable of accommodating the RHNA for Campbell was then selected from within these areas. Each of the Opportunity Sites have the appropriate General Plan and Zoning designations to accommodate housing and have access to roads, water, sewer, electricity and/or natural gas, and telecommunication services. The individual Opportunity Site inventories are contained in Appendix D.
Housing Opportunity Site Areas
The locations of the six major opportunity site areas are depicted on Figure H-1 and are described below.
A summary of the residential development potential for these opportunity site areas are shown in Table H-5. Adequate infrastructure including roads, water, sewer, electricity and/or natural gas, and te
lecommunication services are in place for the planned-for development for all of the Opportunity Site areas. A detailed assessment of each opportunity site is provided in Appendix D.

Figure H-1: Map of Opportunity Site Areas
1. Bascom Avenue Corridor Area
The Bascom Avenue Area is near the intersection of South Bascom Avenue and East Hamilton Avenue.
This Area is located just north of the Pruneyard Area and is within a ¼ mile of the Hamilton VTA Light Rail Station. The General Plan Land Use Designation for the area allows Commercial/Professional Office/Residential land uses with densities up to 20 dwelling units per acre. Residential densities are not counted towards the floor area ratio calculations in mixed-use developments. During the previous Housing Element cycle, one opportunity site, located at 1677 South Bascom Avenue, was developed with 168 apartments as part of a mixed-use project.
2. North of Campbell Avenue Area Plan
The North of Campbell Avenue Area Plan (NOCA) opportunity area is located along Salmar Avenue between East Hamilton Avenue and Harrison Avenue. The NOCA area is located midway between the Hamilton Avenue and Downtown Campbell Light Rail Stations. The area is covered by the North of Campbell Avenue Area Plan. The purpose of the NOCA Plan is to encourage a combination of residential and commercial uses in a previously industrial area. The Zoning and General Plan designations support new residential and mixed-use development at the City’s highest density range of 20 dwelling units per acre and Floor Area Ratios of up to 1.00. Residential densities are not counted towards the floor area ratio calculations in a mixed-use development. Much of the NOCA area has already been redeveloped both residentially (near the downtown) and commercially (near Hamilton Avenue).

3. East Campbell Avenue Master Plan Area
The East Campbell Avenue Master Plan Area extends from Downtown Campbell east to Los Gatos Creek along both sides of Campbell Avenue. This area serves as an important gateway to Downtown Campbell and creates a connection to the Prune Yard Shopping Center (a major 40-acre retail and office destination for the South Bay region). The City has adopted the East Campbell Avenue Master Plan to guide future development in this area. The Master Plan allows for residential densities up to 27 dwelling units per acre in a mixed-use style. This area is adjacent to the South of Campbell Avenue Area.
4. South of Campbell Avenue Area Plan
The South of Campbell Avenue Plan Area (SOCA) opportunity area is located between Railway Avenue and Los Gatos Creek and is covered by the South of Campbell Avenue Area Plan. The purpose of the SOCA Plan is to encourage a combination of residential and commercial uses in a previously industrial area. The Zoning and General Plan designations support new residential and mixed-use development at the City’s highest density range of 27 du/ac and Floor Area Ratios of up to 1.00. Residential densities are not counted towards the floor area ratio calculations in a mixed-use development. Most of the SOCA area is located within ¼ mile of the Downtown Campbell Light Rail Station.
5. Winchester Boulevard Master Plan– South Area
The Winchester Boulevard corridor area is located along both sides of Winchester Boulevard from Hamilton Avenue to Camden Avenue. Campbell has adopted the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan Area to provide a framework for the redevelopment of the area. The Master Plan and General Plan designations support new residential and mixed-use development at the City’s highest density range of 27 dwelling units per acre. This mile long corridor is divided into two subareas, for Housing Element purposes, at Campbell Avenue. The northern subarea includes locations around the Home Church center. The southern subarea includes the older highway oriented commercial south of Campbell Avenue and the newer shopping centers near the Winchester Light Rail Station. During the previous Housing Element cycle, one opportunity site located at 2041 through 2127 South Winchester Boulevard, was developed as a mixed-use project with 126 senior apartments and a 21-patient dementia care center as part of this mixed-use project.
6. Dot Avenue Properties
The Dot Avenue opportunity area is located at the intersection with West Campbell Avenue near San Tomas Expressway. The General Plan Land Use Designation for the area allows Medium Density Residential land uses which allow residential densities up to 20 dwelling units per acre. The site is largely vacant, occupied by a single family home and scattered agricultural uses. This site is not located within ½ mile of a VTA Light Rail Station.
Housing Opportunity Site Adequacy
Table H-6 contains a summary of the detailed opportunity site assessment contained in Appendix C. As demonstrated below, Campbell contains an adequate number of sites to accommodate the RHNA for the 2015 -2023 period. This estimated number of units for each area is calculated by multiplying the developable acreage by the maximum density by the practical density. The Developable Acreage is based upon the size for all of the opportunity sites within each area. The Maximum Density is based upon information obtained from the Campbell General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. For most sites is assumed to be 75% of the maximum density, except that for larger sites within ½ mile of a VTA Light Rail Station.
10.c
Packet Pg. 110
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-22
In these circumstances a realistic density of 90% of the maximum density is used. The 75% of the maximum density for 27 units per acre is 20.25 dwelling units per acre. The practical density for a site with a maximum density of 27 units per acre is 24.3 dwelling units per acre (90% of 27). These values are above the State’s 20 du/ac threshold for unit affordability to all income levels in suburban settings.

1. Does not include any additional density bonus units allowed by State Law and the Local Density Bonus ordinance for additional affordable units.
2. The northern and middle portions of the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan also contain possible residential sites but are not included in the inventory of opportunity sites since adequate sites have already been identified.
The conservative nature of the se housing unit estimates within the Opportunity Site Areas is confirmed by an examination of newer residential projects in the Priority Development Area and surrounding core locations. Since the implementation of the 75% minimum density and mixed-use policies, examples of the newer residential projects include: Gateway (25 du/ac); Campbell Center (26 du/ac); Water Tower Lofts (27 du/ac); Onyx (27 du/ac); Gilman Cottages (27 du/ac); Creekside Commons (27 du/ac); and Merrill Gardens (34 du/ac with density bonus). This also demonstrates that Campbell’s development standards have proven to be effective in allowing projects to achieve maximum densities, and given high land costs in the area, the majority of multi-family and mixed-use developments are built at or near maximum permitted densities.
Housing Opportunity Site Affordability
To evaluate the adequacy of the sites in terms of the income/affordability targets established by the RHNA, “default affordability densities” are used. Based upon its suburban location, Campbell’s default affordability density is 20 dwelling units per acre (i.e. development at or above 20 units per acre is considered to be affordable to both very low and low income households). For moderate income households, based on several moderate income projects developed in the City, the City has chosen a threshold of 15 dwelling units per acre to reflect a reasonable density for achieving moderate income development.

Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-23
Housing Element H-4.3, Planned For Densities, requires that residential development near the existing light rail stations and/or within the boundaries of the Winchester Boulevard Plan and East Campbell Avenue plan areas be developed within densities that are at least 75 percent of the maximum General Plan Land Use category densities. Using these criteria, residential projects on sites with General Plan and Zoning which allow maximum residential densities up to 27 units per acre are affordable for all income categories. In contrast, sites with maximum residential densities of 20 units per acre are affordable for only the Moderate and Above Moderate income categories. Sites with maximum residential densities of 13 units per acre or less are affordable by only those households in the Above Moderate income category.
Table H-7 demonstrates the potential affordability of the units identified in Table H-5. Campbell’s policy to require at least 75% of the maximum density guarantees that, about 85% of the opportunity site units are affordable for all income categories. Only the NOCA Plan and Dot Avenue Areas, with maximum densities of 20 units per acre, are not considered affordable to the Very Low and Low Income categories.
However, those two areas only account for 167 (or about 14%) of the 1,1 61 identified opportunity site units. All of the other Opportunity Site housing units can be used to meet the affordability provisions for all of the income categories.

Availability of Public Facilities and Services
As an urbanized community, Campbell has in place the necessary infrastructure to support additional residential development. All land designated for residential or mixed-use are served by sewer and water lines, streets, storm drains, telephone, electrical and gas lines. Pursuant to the 2001 General Plan Environmental Impact Report, there is adequate water and sewer capacity to serve future development.
To ensure the availability and adequacy of public facilities and services for future development, the City, along with other providers of public services (e.g., water and sewer), will continue to carry out regular infrastructure improvements and upgrading.
Financial Resources
Due to the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in 2012, Campbell has limited access to funding sources available for affordable housing activities. These funding sources include programs from local, state, federal and private resources. The loss of RDA funding has forced the elimination of a number of programs, including: Program 1.1a, Housing Rehabilitation Loans, Program 1.1b, Emergency Home Repair Grants, Program 2.2b, One time Rental Assistance, Program 2.3a, First time Homebuyer Assistance, and Program 3.1a, Affordable Housing Development Assistance.
The following section describes the two largest housing funding sources currently used in Campbell which are Section 8 rental assistance (controlled by the State and Federal governments) and the Housing Trust Fund of Santa Clara County (a private non-profit organization). Table H-8 also provides a more comprehensive inventory of potential funding sources.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds
The CDBG program provides funds for a range of community development activities. Prior to the dissolution of the RDA, a small portion of the CDBG funds was historically spent on housing repair and rehabilitation as well as for non-profit service providers. However, since the dissolution of the RDA, the City was no longer able to provide these services, and these services are now provided to Campbell residents through Santa Clara County. Current use of CDBG funds has been used for targeted code enforcement in a low- income census tract area and to improve accessibility (sidewalk repair and curb cuts) in the City. Residents wanting to repair or rehabilitate their homes must apply to Santa Clara County to get access these programs.
Section 8 Rental Assistance
The Section 8 program or housing voucher program is a federal program that provides rental assistance to extremely low to very low-income persons in need of affordable housing. The Section 8 program offers a voucher that pays the difference between the payment standard (an exception to fair market rent) and what a tenant can afford to pay (e.g., 30% of their income). A voucher allows a tenant to choose housing that may cost above the payment standard, with the tenant paying the extra cost. The Santa Clara County Housing Authority administers the Section 8 program for most communities in the County, including Campbell. In 2014, approximately 190 Campbell households received Section 8 assistance from the Housing Authority.

Housing Trust Fund of Silicon Valley
Created in 2001 as the Housing Trust of Santa Clara County ( HTFSV) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community based organization created in 2000 through a cooperative effort of the private and public sectors, including the Housing Collaborative on Homelessness and Affordable Housing, the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group, Santa Clara County, Community Foundation Silicon Valley, and all 15 Santa Clara towns and cities. The purpose of the Trust is to increase the supply of affordable housing in Santa Clara County within three program areas: first-time homebuyer assistance, multi-family rental housing development assistance, and support for local homeless assistance programs . Funds are available for acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, predevelopment costs and supportive housing services.
Since HTFSV’s inception (as of March 2013) the HTFSV reported having raised $75 million in investment dollars, which it has been leveraged into $1.8 billion of investment in affordable housing.
One-Time Housing Program Funds
Statewide the 20% tax increment affordable housing set-aside funds were responsible for over $1 billion in direct funding for affordable housing. Historically these local funds were often used as seed money to leverage other sources of funding for affordable housing. With the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies (RDA), the State of California deprived local jurisdictions of their largest and most significant source of local funding for affordable homes. In response to the loss of this housing program funding, a portion of those former tax increment funds (transferred to the State) was allocated back to local jurisdictions as both a one-time lump sum. Campbell received $950,000 in its Housing Trust Fun d and $600,000 in “Boomerang Funds”. In 2014 the City Council committed $250,000 of its Boomerang Funds to match Santa Clara County’s $350,000 for a future, still to be determined, affordable housing project.
Because of their one-time use only funding nature, these funding sources are not included in Table H- 8 below.

Neighborhood Housing Services of Silicon Valley
NHSSV was incorporated in 1995 as a non-profit Community Development Organization by a group of local citizens with support from the City of San Jose Department of Housing. NHSSV’s mission is “to promote community revitalization and economic stability by providing responsible homeownership and neighborhood services to low and moderate income families.” HNSSV provides community assistance in the areas of homebuyer education, foreclosure intervention, first mortgage lending, down payment assistance, real estate sales, Below Market Rate (BMR) property administration, as well as community building and organizing. Neighborhood Housing Services currently provides mortgage loans and housing counseling services to low income households at the Maravilla housing project.
Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition (MPHC)
Mid-Peninsula is an established regional non-profit organization involved in the development and acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. MPHC also has two affiliated corporations that provide professional management services and on-site coordination of services to residents. Between 1970 and the end of 2013, MPHC has designed and built or acquired and rehabilitated almost 7,500 units of affordable housing throughout northern California. In addition, MPHC currently manages over 6,400 units throughout the nine county Bay Area region and works to preserve affordable housing units that are at risk of converting to market rate uses. Prior to the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, MPHC partnered with the Campbell Redevelopment Agency to acquire and rehabilitate 60 units at the Sharmon Palms neighborhood.
Habitat for Humanity Silicon Valley
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to building affordable housing and rehabilitating homes for lower income families. Habitat builds and repairs homes with the help of volunteers and partner families. Habitat homes are sold to partner families at no profit with affordable, no-interest loans. Volunteers, churches, businesses, and other groups provide most of the labor for the homes. Government agencies or individuals usually donate land for new homes or write down the cost of the land. Incorporated in 1986, the Silicon Valley affiliate of Habitat for Humanity has built 38 homes and rehabilitated one home in Santa Clara County.
Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley
This non-profit agency continues to partner with the City of Campbell in providing rehabilitation of homes of very low income residents, in particular seniors and disabled so that they may live in warmth, safety, and independence. Rebuilding home repairs assists residents preserve affordable housing by making necessary repairs. Many of repairs deal with roof patching, new furnaces, upgrading wiring and plumbing, grab bars in the bathroom, new appliances, and stairs, railings and banisters, as well as making exterior improvements and removing trash and debris. In 2013, Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley completed 320 rehabilitation projects in the cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Gilroy, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Los Gatos, and Campbell.

San Andreas Regional Center
San Andreas Regional Center (SARC), which is located in Campbell, is a community-based, private nonprofit corporation serving individuals and their families who reside in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties. SARC is funded by the State of California to serve people with developmental disabilities as required by the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Act. The Center reports that 78 percent of their clients with developmental disabilities live within the home of a parent or guardian. As these parents age and become more and more frail, their disabled adult children will require alternative housing options. The SARC works to identify community-based housing providers for persons living with a developmental disability; including licensed community care facilities and group homes; or supervised and subsidized apartment settings for persons able to live more independently.
Senior Housing Solutions
Senior Housing Solutions (SHS), formerly Project Match, is a Milpitas-based non-profit organization that offers affordable housing opportunities for seniors. Under its Group Residence Program, SHS provided affordable living spaces for seniors within a single-family home shared with 5 to 6 seniors. SHS currently manages units of affordable housing for seniors in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Campbell, Saratoga, and Los Gatos. SHS is in the process of disbanding due to financial issues, the operation and management of the existing affordable living accommodations is in the process of being transferred to (Catholic) Charities Housing. The existing facilities in Campbell include three homes tha t provide affordable rental opportunities for 15 seniors.
Opportunities for Energy Conservation
Conventional building construction, use and demolition, as well as the manufacture of building materials have multiple impacts on our environment. In the United States, the building industry accounts for:
65 percent of electricity consumption
30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions
30 percent of raw materials use
30 percent of landfill waste
12 percent of potable water consumption
Energy Conservation Programs Offered through State and Federal Government
One of the primary goals behind establishing a green building program is to create a holistic, integrated design approach to green building. A green building program considers a broad range of issues including community and site design, energy efficiency, water conservation, resource-efficient material selection, indoor environmental quality, construction management, and building maintenance. The end result will be buildings that minimize the use of resources, are healthier for people, and reduce harm to the environment.
In 2004, the State of California adopted legislation requiring LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for new and renovated public buildings. Many local jurisdictions have not only adopted similar standards for their public buildings, but have also required LEED certification or
10.c
Packet Pg. 118
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-30
LEED equivalency for larger commercial and residential developments. LEED certification building standards are one piece of a coordinated green building program to promote energy and resource efficient buildings.
The City of Campbell is in compliance with State regulations to encourage “green” building techniques which illustrates Campbell’s initiative to lim it the environmental impact of municipal facilities, and also sets an example for the community at large. The requirements of the CalGreen Program are currently being implemented by the City. In addition, the recent building code amendments requiring increased energy efficiency have also been adopted by the City in February of 2014.
The City has adopted a Construction and Demolition Debris Ordinance that requires the diversion of 50 percent of construction waste in accordance with the mandate of the California Waste Management Act.
Under the ordinance, contractors are required to recycle or reuse at least 50 percent of the construction and demolition debris waste tonnage from demolition projects greater than 500 square feet, and all renovations or additions to an existing structure or construction of a new structure, greater than 2,000 square feet or where the construction of the work exceeds $250,000, as determined by the Building Official.
Both the public and private sectors currently offer grants, refunds, and other funding for green building.
In addition, developments built to green standards assist both the owners and tenants with energy and maintenance costs over time. The following presents a variety of ways in which Campbell can promote energy conservation and green building:
Develop green (energy-efficient and environmentally-sensitive) building standards for public buildings.
Provide incentives, such as expedited plan check, for private developments that are building green.
Encourage higher densities and mixed-use development within walking distance of commercial and transit, thereby reducing vehicular trips and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Promote financial resources available through the California Energy Commission for use of solar panels.
Provide resource materials and training opportunities regarding green building and energy conservation.
Ensure compliance with CalGreen building code requirements.
The State of California and the Federal government also have programs designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy costs for lower income families. Some of these programs include:
Weatherization Assistance Program funded by the Department of Energy, is a program for delivering energy conservation services to low-income Californians (households with less than 60% of the median income) . The Weatherization Assistance Program reduces the heating and cooling costs for low-income families by improving the energy efficiency of their homes and ensuring their health and safety. Among low-income households, the program focuses on those with elderly residents, individuals with disabilities, and families with children. This program is provided through the Sacred Heart Community Service organization based out of San Jose.

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Block Grant – Funded by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services and provides two basic types of services. Eligible low- income persons (via local governmental and nonprofit organizations) can receive financial assistance to offset the costs of heating/cooling their dwellings, and/or have their dwellings weatherized to make them more energy efficient. This is accomplished through these three program components:
The Weatherization Program provides free weatherization services to improve the energy efficiency of homes, including attic insulation, weather-stripping, minor home repairs, and related energy conservation measures.
The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides financial assistance to eligible households to offset the costs of heating and/or cooling dwellings. The Energy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP) provides payments for weather-related or energy-related emergencies.
Energy Conservation Programs Offered through Local Utilities
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) provides both natural gas and electricity to residential consumers throughout Santa Clara County. The company provides a variety of energy conservation services for residents and also participates in several other energy assistance programs for lower-income households, which can help qualified homeowners and renters conserve energy and control electricity costs. In addition to supporting green building efforts, Campbell also supports energy conservation by advertising utility rebate programs and energy audits available through Pacific Gas and Electric, particularly connected to housing rehabilitation programs. Some of these programs include the following:
The California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) Program – Provides a 20 percent monthly discount on gas and electric rates to income qualified households, certain non-profits, facilities housing agricultural employees, homeless shelters, hospices and other qualified non-profit group living facilities.
The Relief for Energy Assistance through Community Help (REACH) Program – Provides one-time emergency energy assistance to low income customers who have no other way to pay their energy bill. REACH aims to assist those who are in jeopardy of losing their electricity services, particularly the elderly, disabled, sick, working poor, and the unemployed, who experience severe hardships and are unable to pay for their necessary energy needs. Customers who have experienced an uncontrollable or unforeseen hardship may receive an energy credit up to $200.
The Balanced Payment Plan (BPP) – Designed to eliminate big swings in a customer’s monthly payments by averaging energy costs over the year. On enrollment, PG&E averages the amount of energy used by the household in the past year to derive the monthly BPP amount. PG&E checks the household’s account every four months to make sure that its estimated average is on target.
If the household’s energy use increases or decreases dramatically, PG&E will change the amount of monthly payment so that the household does not overpay or underpay too much over the course of a year.

The Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) Program – PG&E’s rate reduction program for large households of three or more people with low- to middle-income. It enables large low-income large households to receive a Tier 3 (131 percent to 200 percent of baseline) electric rate reduction on their PG&E bill every month.
Medical Baseline Allowance Program – PG&E offers additional quantities of energy at the lowest (baseline) price for residential customers that have special medical or heating/cooling needs because of certain medical needs.
Energy Works Program/Energy Partners Program - The Energy Works Program provides qualified low-income tenants free weatherization measures and energy-efficient appliances to reduce gas and electricity usage. In order to qualify for the program, a household’s total annual gross income cannot exceed the income as set in the income guidelines (see http://www.hacsc.org/energy_works_program.htm). Households must receive gas and/or electricity from PG&E and must not have participated in the Energy Partners Program in the past 10 years.
PG&E's SmartAC™ Program - This program offers a simple and convenient way to help prevent power interruptions. When customers sign up, PG&E installs a free SmartAC device that can slightly reduce the energy an air conditioner uses automatically in case of a state or local energy supply emergency. PG&E customers get $25 for signing up for the SmartAC™ program.

Goals, Policies, and Programs
The goals and policies presented here are implemented through a series of housing strategies and programs. These housing strategies and programs outline the specific actions the City of Campbell will undertake to achieve the stated goals and policies. This Housing Plan is designed to be implemented with the City’s current staffing and funding levels. If additional resources are available in the future Campbell will modify its housing program accordingly.
Goal H-1: Maintain and enhance the quality of existing housing and residential neighborhoods in Campbell.
Policy H-1.1: Property Maintenance : Encourage property owners to maintain properties in sound condition.
Program H-1.1a: Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program: Work with Santa Clara County to ensure that Campbell residents have access to countywide housing programs.
Implementation Objective: The City will continue to inform residents about Countywide housing programs available, including the County’s Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program.
Program H-1.1b: Code Enforcement: The City administers a Code Enforcement Program to preserve and maintain the livability and quality of neighborhoods. Code enforcement staff investigates violations of property maintenance standards as defined in the Municipal Code as well as other complaints. When violations are identified or cited, staff encourages property owners to make repairs or seek assistance through the rehabilitation assistance programs offered by the County or non-profit partners, if applicable. The City will also continue code enforcement activities aimed at identifying housing units in need of rehabilitation and repair, providing referrals to City rehabilitation staff.
Implementation Objective: The City will continue to administer the Code Enforcement Program. The Code Enforcement Officer will identify housing units (including ownership and rental units in single- and multi-family buildings) that could qualify for rehabilitation assistance.
Policy H-1.2: Green Buildings: Encourage the use of sustainable and green building design in new and existing housing.
Program H-1.2a: Green Buildings: The City is concerned about the continued availability of all resources for the development of affordable housing. The City of Campbell adopted the Green policies recommended by the Santa Clara County Cities Green Building

Collaborative (GBC) intended to promote climate protection strategies and regional reductions in greenhouse gas emissions including:
Recognizing/adopting the LEED and GreenPoint Rated rating systems as a standard for green building evaluation;
Completion of the “Green Checklist” as part of development applications, including remodels over 500 square feet; and LEED Silver certification for all new or renovated municipal buildings over 5,000 square feet.
Campbell promotes its Green Building Program on the homepage of the City’s website, and provides an on -line version of its required Green Building Checklist. Furthermore, staff works closely with applicants early in the process to explain the City’s Green Building goals and the long-term financial and environmental benefits of integrating sustainable features in project design. The City will strengthen its green building codes in accordance with the State’s CalGreen building code.
Implementation Objective: Implement the State’s CalGreen building codes to promote climate protection strategies. Promote green building and energy conservation on City website and through brochures.
Policy H-1.3: Energy Efficiency: Energy costs can reduce the affordability of housing for lower income households. The City will continue to promote programs and opportunities for improved energy efficiency and weatherization. To address energy conservation in existing buildings, Camp bell’s website promotes Pacific Gas and Electric utility assistance programs. These programs primarily serve extremely low and very low income households.
Program H-1.3a: Promote Energy Efficiency : Promote programs and activities that reduce residential energy usage in existing buildings. Campbell’s website will promotes Pacific Gas and Electric utility assistance programs, programs offered through non-profit agencies and other related programs.
Implementation Objective : The City website will promote PG&E utility assistance programs, programs offered through non-profit agencies and other related programs. Information will also be provided at the Community Development Department public counter, library, and Community Center will also be provided.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-36
Goal H-2: Improve housing affordability for both renters and homeowners in Campbell.
Policy H-2.1: Preservation of Affordable Housing: Work with property owners, tenants and non-profit purchasers to facilitate the preservation of assisted rental housing.
Program H-2.1a: Preservation of Assisted Housing: As of 2014, the City has a total of 747 rent-restricted units in twelve developments in its jurisdiction.
While none of these units is considered at high risk of conversion to market rate rents, two projects totaling 190 units are technically considered at-risk due to the need for continued renewals by the federal government of project-based Section 8 contracts. The City will take the following actions to facilitate long-term preservation of these units:
Monitor the at-risk units by continuing to maintain close contact with property owners regarding their long-term plans for their properties.
Participate in the preservation of at-risk units by providing financial and/or technical assistance (as may be available) to existing property owners and/or other organizations interested in purchasing and maintaining the properties should the owners be interested in selling.
Conduct tenant education by:
o Notifying tenants at least one year prior to potential conversion to market-rate housing.
o Providing information regarding tenant rights and conversion procedures should an owner decide to convert his property to non-low-income use.
o Offering tenants information regarding Section 8 rental subsidies and other available assistance through City and County agencies as well as non-profit organizations.
Implementation Objective: The City will maintain contact with the owners of the at-risk properties, and provide financial (if available) or other assistance as necessary to maintain the affordability of the se at risk units.
Program H-2.1b: Preservation of Mobile Home Park Units: Continue to enforce the City’s Rental Increase Dispute Resolution program for mobile home park units to maintain the availability and affordability of mobile home units in Campbell. The City recently entered into an agreement with the Timber Cove Mobile Home Park to maintain unit
affordability.
Implementation Objective: Continue to implement the provisions of the ordinance to maintain the affordability of these units.

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-37
Program H-2.1c: Monitor Lower Income Household Displacement: As regional housing costs increase, lower income households may be forced to relocate (i.e. to be displaced) to find affordable housing. This can be caused either by landlords and investors seeking tenants that are able to pay higher rents or through the replacement of more affordable housing units with newer or more expensive market rate housing. The City will monitor issues associated with rising rental costs to try to maintain the availability and housing affordable to lower income households.
Implementation Objective: The City will monitor housing affordability in the community on an ongoing basis, will consider the impacts of new housing development on the existing supply of affordable housing throughout the development review process, and will consider possible strategies to address local displacement issues as they are identified.
Policy H-2.2: Rental Assistance : Support the provision of rental assistance to lower-income households.
Program H-2.2a: Section 8 Rental Assistance: The Section 8 Rental Assistance Program extends rental subsidies to very low-income households, including families, seniors, and the disabled. The Section 8 Program offers a voucher that pays the difference between the current fair market rent (FMR) and what a tenant can afford to pay (i.e., 30% of household income). The voucher allows a tenant to choose housing that cost above the payment standard, provided the tenant pays the extra cost. Approximately 300 Campbell residents currently receive Section 8 assistance. Given the significant gap between market rents and what very low income households can afford to pay for housing, Section 8 plays a critical role in allowing such households to remain in the community, and is a key program in addressing the needs of extremely low and very low income households.
Implementation Objective: Through the County Housing Authority, the City will continue to provide Section 8 rental assistance to extremely low to very low-income residents. The City will encourage landlords to register units with the Housing Authority.
Policy H-2.3: Homeownership Opportunities : Support the provision of homeownership assistance to lower- and moderate-income households.
Program H-2.3a: Mortgage Credit Certificate: The Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program is a federal program that allows qualified first-time home- buyers to take an annual credit against federal income taxes of up to 15 percent of the annual interest paid on the applicant’s mortgage.
This enables homebuyers to have more income available to qualify for a mortgage loan and make the monthly mortgage payments. The
10.c
Packet Pg. 126
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)

value of the MCC must be taken into consideration by the mortgage lender in underwriting the loan and may be used to adjust the borrower’s federal income tax withholding. The MCC program has covenant restrictions to ensure the affordability of the participating homes for a period of 15 years. Eligible first time homebuyers may apply through their mortgage lenders to participate in this program.
Implementation Objective: The City will continue to provide information and promote the County MCC program. The City will also continue to make available brochures of housing programs available and provide information about the program on the City’s web site.
Program H-2.3b: Foreclosure Prevention: While home foreclosures are not as prevalent in Campbell as in many other areas of the County, many residents are at-risk of defaulting on their mortgages and potentially losing their homes. Several area agencies provide foreclosure intervention counseling services, including Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley, Project Sentinel, and /or Acorn Housing. The City will play an active role in promoting the services of these and other agencies to provide residents with the education and resources to help reduce foreclosures.
Implementation Objective: Promote available foreclosure counseling services through the City website and quarterly newsletters.
Policy H-2.4: Special Needs Housing: Assist in the provision of housing and supportive services to persons with special needs, including (but not limited to): seniors, single parents with children, persons with disabilities, the homeless, and those at risk of becoming homeless.
Program H-2.4a: Shared Housing Program: The City will continue to encourage and support the provision of shared housing opportunities in Campbell.
Under a shared housing program, a home provider, a person who has a home to share, is matched with a home seeker, a person in search of a home to share.
Implementation Objective : Continue to provide (if available) assistance for shared housing services to single-parent households, and extremely low, very low and low income populations (if available).
Program H-2.4b: Homeless Assistance/Shelter Provisions: The City will continue to support area non-profit agencies that serve the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. These agencies offer emergency shelters, transitional housing facilities, housing assistance, food, clothing, and job referrals to persons in need.
10.c
Packet Pg. 127

Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-39
Implementation Objective: The City will continue to provide support to area homeless shelter and service providers to serve extremely low and very low income populations (as resources are available).
Program H-2.4c: Physically Accessible Housing: Development of new housing can provide an opportunity to increase the limited supply of handicapped-accessible housing in Campbell. As part of new residential development projects, the City will work with developers to integrate physically accessible units in new developments.
Implementation Objective : The City will work with developers to increase the number of fully accessible housing units compliant with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Program H-2.4d: Persons with Disabilities. Coordinate with other agencies and organizations, such as San Andreas Regional Center (SARC), Housing Choices Coalition, and Bay Area Housing Coalition, in meeting the needs of persons with disabilities.
Implementation Objective : (1) Work with San Andreas Regional Center to increase the availability of information on programs to assistance persons with disabilities. (2) Continue to provide support to area homeless shelters and service providers to serve extremely low and very low income populations (as resources are available). (3) Explore opportunities to assist in the provision of supportive housing opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Goal H-3: Encourage the provision of housing affordable to a variety of household income levels.
Policy H-3.1: Inclusionary Housing: Support the development of additional affordable housing by non- profit and for-profit developers through financial assistance and/or regulatory incentives.
Ensure that new residential development in Campbell integrates units affordable to lower- and moderate-income households, or contributes funds to support affordable housing activities (when funding is available). Create additional levels of affordability within the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in a way that does not create a governmental constraint to housing production.
Program H-3.1a: Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Implementation : Continue to implement the City-wide Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to require 15 percent affordable units within for-sale new residential projects of ten or more units. For-sale housing is currently required to provide 15 percent moderate units. Although the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance requires rental housing to provide 15 percent very low and low income units, with at least six percent very low income and nine percent of low/moderate income, the City’s ability to enforce this
10.c
Packet Pg. 128
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-40
requirement has been overruled by 2009 Palmer vs. City of Los Angeles court case.
Implementation Objective : Continue to implement inclusionary housing requirements for all new projects as required by City Ordinance.
Program H-3.1b: Citywide Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Amendments : The City will also consider revisions to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to allow for case-by-case determination on the appropriate percentage of low and moderate income units within the 15 percent total requirement for for-sale unit projects. The goal is to consider providing for greater affordability levels in addition to the Moderate income units currently required.
Implementation Objective : Evaluate the appropriateness of amending the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to provide more flexibility for targeting lower affordability levels and to ensure that the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and the City’s Density Bonus provisions are integrated in a manner consistent with State Law and recent court decisions. If updating the Ordinance is appropriate, complete the update within two years of the adoption of the Housing Element.
Goal H-4: Provide adequate housing sites through appropriate land use and zoning designations to accommodate the City’s share of regional housing needs.
Policy H-4.1: Residential Sites: Assist developers in identifying sites suitable for residential and mixed- use development, and facilitate development through the provision of financial and regulatory incentives, as appropriate.
Program H-4.1a: Housing Opportunity Site Inventory: As part of the update to the Housing Element, a parcel-specific analysis of vacant and underutilized sites was conducted to identify Opportunity Sites for development within the planning period. The Opportunity Sites analysis identifies five areas that have adequate capacity to address Campbell’s 2015 -2023 housing production goals. In order to specifically encourage and facilitate development on these Opportunity Sites, the City will undertake the following actions:
Contact property owners within the Opportunity Site Area s (during the Housing Element update process) to discuss the City’s desire to develop housing in these areas and the availability of financial and regulatory development incentives. Allow for reductions in parking for properties within 1/4 mile of light rail.
10.c
Packet Pg. 129
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-41
Post the Housing Element sites inventory on the City’s website as a tool for developers, and provide as a handout at the public counter.
Summarize the Planned Development (P-D) development
standards, derived from applicable Area Plans and zoning districts, in the sites inventory to provide greater clarity to developers.
Update on an annual basis in conjunction with the General Plan progress report.
Provide technical assistance to property owners and
developers, including assessor parcel data and information on density and design incentives.
Assist developers in completing funding applications in support of development, and as appropriate, provide local funds and/or land as leverage if available.
Implementation Objective: Maintain an active listing of residential and mixed-use Opportunity Sites, and update annually. Where appropriate, provide regulatory concessions and financial assistance to encourage new housing development (when funding is available).
Policy H-4.2: Mixed-Use Development : Promote mixed-use development where housing is located near jobs, services, shopping, schools, and public transportation.
Program H-4.2a: Mixed-Use Development: The inclusion of residential uses in new mixed-use developments will be encouraged through the use of incentives such as reduced parking requirements, including shared parking between commercial and residential uses. Adding residential development along some of the City’s commercial corridors will create activity along the street, provide a variety of housing types near work, shopping and transportation, and enhance public safety.
The City will ensure that residential development is included in the mixed-use projects on opportunity sites in order to address RHNA goals. Mixed-use development will be located next to sidewalks or landscape setback areas adjacent to the public street to enhance visibility, pedestrian access and interaction with the commercial uses. While maximum Floor Area Ratios (FARs) are contained in specific land use policies within each Master, Area or Specific Plan, residential units are not counted against the allowable FAR. Similarly, the commercial portion of the project does not count against the density of the residential portion. A reduction in the required open space for the residential component may be granted where site characteristics preclude fulfillment of the entire open space requirement. In this way, sites that are currently being occupied by
10.c
Packet Pg. 130
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-42
commercial uses may be redeveloped with residential and commercial uses, improving the financial feasibility of projects.
Implementation Objective : The City will continue to allow and promote residential uses in conjunction with commercial and/or office uses in mixed use developments. The City may provide financial, technical, and/or other assistance to facilitate mixed-use development along commercial corridors and around transit stations (when funding is available).
Policy H-4.3: Planned For Densities : To encourage the efficient and sustainable use of land, the City encourages residential development that is proposed near existing light rail stations (within 1/4 mile radius) and/or within the boundaries of the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan, East Campbell Avenue Master Plan, and all opportunity site areas, to achieve at least 75 percent of the maximum General Plan Land Use category densities.
Program H-4.3a: Achieve Target Densities. The City will work closely with property owners and developers to inform them of this policy and its purpose to encourage infill development, create pedestrian oriented areas, reduce vehicle miles travelled and improve air quality. Unique site circumstances relating to interface with adjoining residential properties will require a degree of flexibility as to the application of this policy to limit potential environmental impacts resulting from projects.
Implementation Objective: Inform developers of policy to strive to achieve at least 75% of General Plan density within specified areas.
Review development proposals for residential and mixed-use projects to strive to achieve “planned -for” densities within the specified areas of this policy.
Goal H-5: Minimize the impact of potential governmental constraints on the maintenance, improvement and development of housing.
Policy H-5.1: Institutional Capacity: Investigate options and opportunities for Campbell to restore the housing program staff resources to oversee the implementation of non-development- related the programs and activities. Some of the possible options to restore staff resources could include hiring additional City staff and/or partnering with other jurisdictions or non-profit organizations.
Program H-5.1a: Housing Program Staffing: Evaluate the feasibility of re-establishing a local housing program. The evaluation may include an evaluation of funding sources and partnership opportunities.
Implementation Objective: Initiate this evaluation within 24 months of the adoption of the Housing Element. Complete the evaluation process with 12 months of initiation.

Program H-5.1b: Affordable Housing Partnerships: Look for opportunities to partner with Santa Clara County, other cities, non-profit organizations, and for profit housing providers to preserve, rehabilitate, and construct affordable housing units in and around Campbell. For example, the City Council recently committed $ 250,000 as matching funds to a future affordable project with the Santa Clara County.
Implementation Objective : At least every two years, the City will continue to explore and evaluate opportunities to partner with non- profit organizations to rehabilitate, preserve or create affordable housing The City will also monitor and evaluate opportunities to apply for affordable housing grants in conjunction with its non-profit partners.
Policy H-5.2: Regulatory Incentives : Provide regulatory and/or financial incentives where appropriate to offset or reduce the costs of affordable housing development, including density bonuses and flexibility in site development standards.
Program H-5.2a: Density Bonus: In compliance with current State law, the City offers density bonuses and regulatory incentives/concessions to developers of affordable and/or senior housing in all residential zones.
Applicants of residential projects of five or more units may apply for a density bonus and additional incentive(s) if the project provides for one of the following:
10 percent of the total units for lower income households; or 5 percent of the total units for very low income households; or A senior citizen housing development or mobilehome park that limits residency based on age requirements for housing for older persons; or
10 percent of the total dwelling units in a condominium for moderate income households.
As per State Law, the amount of density bonus varies according t o the amount by which the percentage of affordable housing units exceeds the established minimum percentage, but generally ranges from 20 to 35 percent above the specified General Plan density.
In addition to the density bonus, eligible projects may receive one to three additional development incentives, depending on the proportion of affordable units and level of income target ed. The following development incentives may also be requested:
A reduction in site development standards (e.g., setback and square footage requirements, and/or parking requirements) or architectural design requirements. At the request of the

developer, the City will permit a parking ratio (inclusive of handicapped and guest parking) of one space for 0-1 bedroom units, two spaces for 2-3 bedroom units, and 2½ spaces for four or more bedrooms.
Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the housing project if nonresidential land uses would reduce the cost of individual units in the housing project, and the nonresidential land uses would be compatible with the housing project and adjoining development.
Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the permit applicant or the City that would result in identifiable cost reductions.
In addition, the City has approved the following set of concessions:
Expedited processing pursuant to a mutually agreed upon schedule; and,
Deferral of the collection of impact fees on market rate units until issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Implementation Objective : The City will continue to offer density bonus and/or regulatory incentives/concessions to facilitate the development of affordable and/or senior housing. The City will advertise its density bonus provisions on its website, explain how density bonuses work in tandem with inclusionary requirements, and promote in discussions with prospective development applicants.
Program H-5.2b: Parking Standard Modification s: In addition to parking reductions available to affordable and senior housing projects under the City’s density bonus ordinance, Campbell’s Planning Commission has the authority to determine that certain circumstances warrant an adjustment to a project’s parking requirements. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, the proximity of a project to light rail stations, transit corridors, or major employment centers. The Commission may also allow for shared parking for mixed-use projects.
Implementation Objective: The City will continue to offer modified parking standards, on a case- by-case basis, as a way to facilitate development of projects with reduced parking demands.
Policy H-5.3: Secondary Dwelling Units : Provide for the infill of modestly priced rental housing by encouraging secondary units in residential neighborhoods.
Program H-5.3a: Secondary Dwelling Units: A secondary dwelling unit is a separate dwelling unit that provides complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons. It includes permanent provisions for living,
10.c
Packet Pg. 133
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs)
Final Housing Element – City of Campbell H-45
sleeping, cooking, eating, and sanitation on the same parcel as the primary unit is situated. Given the limited developable land remaining in Campbell, integrating secondary dwelling units in existing residential neighborhoods presents an opportunity for the City to accommodate needed rental housing. The development of secondary dwelling units is effective in dispersing affordable housing throughout the City and can provide housing to lower-income persons, including seniors and college students. Approximately 1,000 single-family parcels in Campbell are of sufficient size to add a secondary dwelling unit.
Implementation Objective: The City will facilitate the construction of new secondary dwelling units by making information available to the public.
Policy H-5.4: Ordinance Updates: Update the Municipal Code as needed to comply with changes to State Law and local conditions relating the housing production and affordability.
Program H-5.4a: Periodic Ordinance Amendments: Update the Municipal Code as needed to comply with changes to State Law and local
conditions/needs.
Implementation Objective : Initiate and complete the amendment process to comply with the new requirements within 12 months of being notified of the requirement.
Promotion of Equal Housing Opportunity
Goal H-6: Promote equal opportunity for all residents to reside in the housing of their choice.
Policy H-6.1: Fair Housing : Support the provision of fair housing services.
Program H-6.1a: Fair Housing Program: The City will continue to support programs that provide fair housing information and referral to Campbell residents. Project Sentinel, a non-profit organization, offers fair housing investigative and enforcement services in northern California, including Santa Clara County. The organization also conducts educational seminars for owners and managers of rental property, as well as free workshops for tenants to address rights and responsibilities. Project Sentinel receives funding from local cities and counties as well as the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Campbell will continue to allocate a portion of its Business License Fees to support Project Sentinel and promote the services of the organization.
Implementation Objective : The City will coordinate with Project Sentinel to conduct training for Campbell rental property owners and managers to provide information on standard lease agreements, and

tools to address problem tenants within the parameters of fair housing law. The City will provide fair housing information through its website and through the Profile, a quarterly newsletter that goes out to all Campbell households. In addition, fair housing posters will be posted at City Hall, the community center, and the library.
Policy H-6.2: Rights of Tenants and Landlords : Assist in educating tenants and landlords, and settling disputes between the two parties.
Program H-6.2a: Rent al Dispute Mediation Program: The purpose of the Rental Increase Dispute Resolution Ordinance is to permit landlords a fair and reasonable return on the value of their property while protecting tenants from excessive and unreasonable rent increases. The ordinance establishes a process for the resolution of tenant/landlord disputes concerning rent, housing services or proposed evictions.
Under the ordinance, landlords must provide a 60-day written notice of the amount of a rent increase to tenants if the rent increase is 10 percent or higher.
Under the Rent Mediation Program, Campbell renters and rental property owners of four or more units participate in counseling, conciliation, and mediation regarding their rights and responsibilities under California tenant/landlord law. Participation in the program is mandatory, but the outcome is advisory.
Implementation Objective: The City will continue to enforce the Rental Increase Dispute Resolution Ordinance and offer a Rent Mediation Program. The City will continue to make program brochures available at the public counter and other public locations.
The City will also continue to mail out to new rental property owners a packet of information regarding the City’s Rent Mediation Program as well as contact information for tenant/landlord and fair housing services.
Policy H-6.3: Housing Accessibili ty: Address the special needs of persons with disabilities through provision of supportive housing, homeowner accessibility grants, and provision of reasonable accommodation procedures.
Program H-6.3a: Reasonable Accommodation: The City will monitor its reasonable accommodation procedure for its effectiveness and potential impacts on housing for persons with disabilities. For example, the City will evaluate factors used to determine a reasonable accommodation request such as: the potential benefit of the requested modification, and impact on surrounding uses listed in the City’s zoning code to ensure they do not act as a constraint. The review will be conducted as part of the City’s Housing Element Annual Report submitted to the State and will evaluate criteria such as:

The City will evaluate potential revisions to its reasonable accommodation procedure as appropriate based on this annual evaluation.
Implementation Objective: (1) The City will provide annual monitoring to ensure the reasonable accommodation procedure does not act as a constraint on housing for persons with disabilities.
The responsible agency for this program shall be the Community Development Department which will also mitigate identified constraints. This monitoring program shall submit its findings annually as part of the Housing Element Annual Report submitted to the State. (2) Within two years, the City will specifically evaluate the procedure’s findings of approval and modify the Ordinance as appropriate to ensure its compliance with the requirements of State Law.
Extremely Low Income Households
Housing Element statutes also require an analysis of the needs of extremely low income (<30% AMI) households, and programs to assist in the creation of housing for this population. The Campbell Housing Element sets forth several programs that help to address the needs of Extremely Low Income households, including: Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (Program H-1.1a); Preservation of Assisted Housing (Program H-2.1a); Section 8 Rental Assistance (Program H-2.2a); Shared Housing (Program H-2.5a); Homeless Assistance/Shelter Provisions (Program H-2.5b); and Reasonable Accommodation provisions (Program H-6.3a).

Technical Appendices Introduction
INTRODUCTION
This Housing Element Technical Appendices Report provides the detailed background information used in developing the Element’s policies and programs for the 2015 -2023 planning period. Providing the technical information in a separate report allows the City of Campbell to focus the Housing Element on housing strategies and solutions. The Technical Appendices Report consists of the following sections:
Housing Needs Assessment (Appendix A), which describes and analyzes Campbell’s population, household, and housing characteristics and trends; Housing Constraints (Appendix B), which assesses potential market, governmental, and other constraints to the development and affordability of housing; Housing Accomplishments (Appendix C), which evaluates the City’s progress in implementing the housing programs established in the 2009 - 2014 Housing Element; and, Analysis of Opportunity Sites (Appendix D), which assesses the ability of the City to provide adequate sites to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment. Public Outreach (Appendix E), which provides additional information on the public outreach activities.
The Technical Appendices Report were prepared using various sources of information. The majority of the data is from the 2000 and 2010 Census on population and housing, as well as American Community Surveys between 2006 and 2011, and compares it to the corresponding data from Santa Clara County. In addition to data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, information from the following sources has also been incorporated (where appropriate) into this information:
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Housing Element Data Profiles (January 2014) and ABAG’s Regional Housing Needs Determination ( July, 20 13) provides demographic projections and information on future housing needs;
Population and demographic data is updated by the State Department of Finance, and school enrollment data from State Department of Education;
Housing market information, such as home sales, rents, and vacancies, is updated through newspaper and internet rent surveys and DataQuick sales transactions; Public and non-profit agencies are consulted for data on special needs groups, the services available to them, and gaps in the system;
Lending patterns for home purchase and home improvement loans are provided through the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) database.
Major Employers are provided by the City of Campbell Finance Department;

APPENDIX A. HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
This section of the Housing Element discusses the characteristics of the City’s population and housing stock as a means of better understanding the nature and extent of unmet housing needs. Appendix A, the Housing Needs Assessment is comprised of the following components: (1) Demographic Profile; (2) Household Profile; (3) Housing Stock Characteristics; and (4) Regional Housing Needs.
1. Demographic Profile
The type and amount of housing needed in a community are largely determined by population growth and various demographic variables. Factors such as age, race/ethnicity, occupation, and income level combine to influence the type of housing needed and the ability to afford housing. This section addresses population, age, race/ethnicity and employment of Campbell’s residents.
A. Population Trends
Table A-1 displays population growth trends for the City of Campbell from 1990-2010, and compares this growth to neighboring jurisdictions and the entire County of Santa Clara. As indicated below, the recession between 2007 and 2009 dramatically slowed the rate of population increase for most of the depicted jurisdictions. As the economy has improved, the rates of population growth have also increased. Much of the increase in population growth for most of the established cities has been from the redevelopment of existing sites into higher density residential projects.
Table A-1: Regional Population Growth Trends
Jurisdiction 1990 2000 2010 Percent Change by Decade
1990- 2000 2000-2010
Campbell 36,048 38,138 39,349 6% 3%

Santa Clara County 1,497,577 1,682,585 1,781,642 12% 6% Sources: 1990, 2000, 2010 Census
According to the State Department of Finance, local populations have continued to increase since the 2010 Decennial Census. All of the Cities described in Table A-1 have shown continuing population growth through 2013. In 2013, according to the State Department of Finance, the population for the City of Campbell had increased to 40,404. If the current rates of growth for these cities continued from 2010 through 2020, the percent change in their populations would have ranged between 9 and 14 percent.
According to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the population for the City of Campbell is expected to continue to increase through 2040. The estimated population in 2020 is 41,9 00, increasing to 48,100 in 2040. ABAG expects to see rates of change between 6.5 and 7.5 percent for each decade through 2040.

B. Age Characteristics
A community’s housing needs are determined in part by the age characteristics of residents. Each age group has distinct lifestyles, family type and size, income levels, and housing preferences. As people move through each stage, their housing needs and preferences also change. As a result, evaluating the age characteristics of a community is important in addressing housing needs of residents.
Table A-2 below summarizes the age characteristics of Campbell residents between 1990 and 2010, and compares this with the County as a whole. For the most part, the population characteristics of the community have stayed fairly constant except for a decrease in the number of Young Adults and the corresponding increase in the number of Middle Age Adults. This appears to have occurred because of the aging in place by large numbers of Young Adults between 1990 and 2010. The Young Adult population (25 to 44) remains the largest segment (33%) of the City’s population though the size of this group has steadily decreased since 1990. The next largest group is the Middle Age Adults (45-64) which comprised 28% of the population in 2010.

Like many communities nationwide, Campbell’s population is aging. The City’s median age increased from
32.5 years in 1990 to 38.3 years in 2010. During this same time the countywide median age increased from 32.0 to 36.2. This appears to correspond with the gradual increase in the number of Senior Adults (65+). This aging in place trend is expected to continue into the near future. Many seniors are homeowners and typically live in single-family homes, but may begin to consider trading down their larger homes for smaller dwellings as their children leave home. To remain in their homes, some seniors may also participate in home sharing programs.
Several trends could become apparent over the coming decade. Senior citizens can be expected to continue to comprise a growing segment of Campbell’s population as the City’s middle age “baby boomers” (45 to 64) age in place. Eventually, this pattern of aging in place will result in the recycling of existing neighborhoods as Young Adults move back into the areas vacated by the Senior Adults and start new families. Given this trend, there is a continued need to expand housing opportunities for seniors.

C. Race and Ethnicity
The Bay Area has been gradually changing in the racial and ethnic composition of its population. These changes have implications for housing needs to the extent that different groups may have different household characteristics, income levels, and cultural background that affect their need and preferences for housing.
Campbell, like many Bay Area communities, has also experienced gradual changes in the racial and ethnic composition of its population. The White group continues to comprise the largest race/ethnic group in Campbell at 58 percent, but this group’s share of the population has decreased steadily over the past two decades, while the other race/ethnic groups grew noticeably both in size and proportion. This trend is reflected in both the Dicennial Census and local school enrollments.
Among the major race/ethnic groups, the largest percentage increase in population between 1990 and 2010 was attributable to Asians (representing 78% of the population growth between 1990 and 2000) and Hispanics (representing 64% of the population growth between 2000 and 2010). As shown inTable A-3, the Asian/Pacific Islander share of the population increased from 9 percent in 1990 to 16 percent in 2010.
The Hispanic share grew from 11 percent to 18 percent. The number of residents in the “Other Race” category grew dramatically in large part because unlike prior Census efforts, the 2000 and 2010 Censuses allowed respondents to identify themselves as members of more than one racial group. 1 Table A-3: Racial and Ethnic Composition–City of Campbell Race/Ethnicity Group 1990 2000 2010 Santa Clara

The student population in Campbell is diverse as well and reflects the demographic shift within the community. An examination of recent enrollment data for local schools in the Campbell Union Elementary that primarily serve the City of Campbell indicate that the traditional minority groups comprise the majority of the student population.
2 In academic year 2013/14, 54% of the student population are Hispanic, 25% White, 12% Asian and Pacific Islander, 4% Blacks or African American, and 5% were identified as an Other Race. This variation indicates that much of the older cohorts of the population are predominantly White while the younger cohorts of the population are more diverse and more representative of the current multi-ethnic California.
1 For 2000, the “Other Race” category includes American Indians and Alaska Natives, and persons who identified themselves as “Some other race” and “Two or more races.”

D. Education
Education and employment also have an important impact upon housing needs to the extent that different jobs and income levels determine the type and size of housing a household can afford. According to the 2010 Census, the educational level of Campbell residents is generally higher than that of the County as a whole. For instance, the percentage of residents over age 25 without a high school diploma is 10 percent in the City, compared to 16 percent Countywide. Similarly, Campbell has a higher percentage of residents with some college education and with a Bachelors Degree, though a smaller percentage of Post Graduate Degree holders. The educational attainment of Campbell residents and residents countywide are displayed in the Figure A-4.
Table A-4: Comparison of Educational Attainment
E. Employment Market
Table A-5 describes the types of occupations held by Campbell residents. As of 2010, three-quarters of residents were employed in either managerial/professional occupations (50%), or sales/technical/administrative occupations (26%). Relatively higher paying jobs are in both categories, except for certain sales positions, translating into higher incomes for the residents engaged in these activities. In contrast, there were noticeable declines in the number of residents engaged in th e occupational categories of production/crafts/maintenance; and farming/ forestry/ fishing. The long term trend appears to be away from manufacturing and production and toward the professional and service sectors. Furthermore, the primary growth within the Sales, Technical and Administrative sectors has been in the technical and administrative areas.

The State Employment Development Department estimates that, as of November 2013, the labor force for the City of Campbell was 23,000. The unemployment rate for City residents was 5.3%, compared to a countywide unemployment rate of 6.2% and a statewide rate of 8.3%. Since the height of the recession in early 2009, the unemployment rates for the City, County, and State has fallen by 2.4%, 1.5%, and 0.8% respectively. The improved economy has the potential to improve many families access to affordable housing.
The economic base for the City of
Campbell is founded on small to
medium-sized businesses. The
largest employers are shown in
Table A-6. Of the twenty largest
employers, eight are service
businesses, five are retail
oriented, and three are
manufacturing or technology
companies. The remaining
businesses are a variety of
medical, construction, or local
governmental organizations.
These 20 largest employers
represent only less than 20% of all
local jobs indicating that most
local employers are primarily
smaller sized businesses.
Future local job growth is
anticipated to be somewhat
limited. However the continued
expansion of regional employ-
ment will likely result in increased
demand for more affordable
housing in Campbell.

According to the 2007 Economic Census (the most recent information available), there were approximately 20,652 jobs in Campbell in 1,452 workplaces. In 2007 the local economy was a combination of service/retail, professional, and manufacturing sectors. Since that time several of the larger manufacturing and information service businesses have either relocated or have gone out of business. As a result, the local economy is based primarily on the retail/service and professional sectors.
F. Jobs and Housing
The Jobs:Housing Ratio (or Jobs:Housing Balance) is a method used to indicate whether a community is “balanced” from a housing and employment perspective. A community is considered balanced when there are approximately an equal number of housing units and jobs (though the Jobs:Housing Ratio does not consider the quality of the jobs in terms of the household incomes or affordability). In regional planning programs, balancing jobs and housing is generally believed to reduce the amount of long distance commuting, as well as achieving a number of other related goals such as reducing traffic congestion on major freeways and arterials, improving regional air quality, and enhancing a community’s economic base.
Jobs and housing are considered to be balanced when there are an equal number of employed residents and jobs within a given area, with a ratio of approximately 1.0.
Table A-7 compares the Jobs:Housing ratio for Campbell and other selected local jurisdictions. The balance between jobs and housing is an important consideration in establishing housing production and affordability goals. Based on ABAG estimates for 2007, Campbell has a Jobs/Housing ratio of 1.3. This means that, within Campbell there are on average 1.3 jobs for each housing units. In comparison to many of the surrounding jurisdictions, Campbell is relatively balanced community with slightly more jobs than housing.

2. Household Characteristics
Household type and size, income levels, the presence of special needs populations, and other household characteristics determine the type of housing needed by residents. This section details the various household characteristics affecting housing needs.
A. Household Type
According to the 2010 Census, Campbell is home to 16,163 households, of which 60 percent are families.
Families are comprised of married couple families with or without children as well as other family types, such as female-headed households with children. Non-families, including singles and other households, make up the other 40 percent of households in Campbell. Other households include residents in group homes, roommates, and other unrelated persons occupying the same housing unit. As was the case in 1990, singles comprised roughly 30 percent of all households in the City. The household type trends are shown in Table A-8.

Sources: 1990, 2000, 2010 Census.
The composition of households in Campbell remained relatively unchanged between 1990 and 2010.
There are, however, two noteworthy trends. These trends are the increase in the number of families with children and the increase in the average persons per household since 1990. These trends reflect the growth in the number of families with children as well as an increase in the number of households “doubling up” to save on housing costs during the recent economic downturn commonly ref erred to as The Great Recession (2007-2009).
B. Household Income
Household income is the most important factor affecting housing opportunity, determining a household’s ability to balance housing costs with other basic necessities of life. Income levels can vary considerably among households, based upon tenure, household type, location of residence, and/or race/ethnicity, among other factors.

Median Household Income
Based on the 2012 American Community Survey, the median annual household income of Campbell households was $81,108. As shown below, the median household income in Campbell was comparable to that in San Jose, and about 11% less than the median household income for Santa Clara County. The median household incomes for Campbell and several surrounding cities are shown in Figure A-9.
Figure A-9: Median Household Income
Source: 2012 American Community Survey
Income Definitions
The State and Federal government classify household income into several groupings based upon the relationship to the County Adjusted Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size. The State of California utilizes the income groups presented in Table A-10. However, federal housing programs utilize slightly different income groupings and definitions with the highest income category beginning about 95 percent of the County AMI. For purposes of the Housing Element, the State income definitions are used throughout, except for the data that have been compiled by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). When the Federal criteria are used, this fact will be specifically noted.

Households by Income Levels
According to information compiled for the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, 69% of the households in the City of Campbell are in the Moderate Income and Above Moderate Income categories.
While the absolute number of these households has increased since 1990, the relative percentage of these higher income households has declined since 1990 (from 70.9% to 68.8%). The number of households by the four income categories is depicted in Table A-11.
Table A-11: Household Income Levels-City of Campbell
Income Level 1990 2000 2010

Source: 2000, 2010 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, (http://socds.huduser.org/chas/reports).
This decrease in the Moderate Income and Above Moderate Income categories has been paired with a noticeable increase in the Extremely Low Income category. Between 1990 and 2010, the number of Extremely Low Income Households increase from 1,599 to 2,015. Of the nearly one thousand households added to City between 1990 and 2010, most of the growth occurred in either the Extremely Low or the Moderate Income and Above Moderate Income categories. This indicates that while much of the community is economically prosperous, there continues to be increased affordability issues for the Extremely Low Households.
Income by Household Tenure
Table A-12 shows the income level of Campbell residents by household tenure. A significantly higher percentage of renter households (51%) were in the lower income categories (with household incomes less 80% of the AMI) compared to residents who owned their homes (20%). In contrast, the 41% of rental households and 19% of owner households were in the lower incomes categories in 2010. The presence of approximately 2,500 extremely low and very low income renter households is of particular significance as market rents in Campbell exceed the level of affordability for these households.

The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy identifies four conditions that create severe housing problems. These four conditions are: incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than one and a half persons per room, and cost burdens of greater than 50% of the household income.
According to the 2010 Census, less than 2% of the units had incomplete kitchen or plumbing features.
This means that the vast majority of the housing issues identified in the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy are related to the cost burden of housing and the number of persons living in the unit (which can also be an indicator of a higher cost burden for housing).
As described in Table A-13, 43% of renter households and 38% of owner households spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs each week, while 19% of renter households and 16% of owner households spend more than 50% of their income on housing in 2010. The high incidence of lower income renter households is of particular significance as market rents in Campbell exceed the level of affordability for lower income households, discussed in greater detail in the Housing Affordability Section of this Needs Assessment.

C. Special Needs Groups
Certain groups have greater
difficulty in finding decent,
affordable housing due to their
special needs and/or circumstances.
Special circumstances may be
related to one’s employment and
income, disability, or household
characteristics. As a result, certain
segments of Campbell residents may
be more likely to have lower-
incomes, overpayment, over-
crowding, or other housing
problems. State Housing Element
law identifies the following “special
needs” groups: senior households,
disabled persons, large families,
female-headed households, families
and persons in need of emergency
shelter, and farm workers.
This section provides a detailed
discussion of the housing needs of
each particular group as well as the
major programs and services
available to address their housing
and supportive services needs.
Table A-14 summarizes the special
needs populations in the City of
Campbell.
Senior Households
Senior households typically have special housing needs due to three primary concerns – income, housing and health care costs, and physical disabilities. Seniors are typically on fixed incomes, therefore an increase in rents can have a considerable impact on extremely low income senior renters. Senior homeowners with extremely low incomes also face significant needs related to maintaining their homes.
According to the 2010 Census, seniors (age 65 and older) comprise 11 percent of the City’s households.
Some of the special needs of seniors are as follows:
Disabilities: Of Campbell’s senior population, 36 percent (1,569 persons) have a work disability and/or self-care or mobility limitation.
Limited Income: Many seniors have limited income available for healthcare and other expenses.
Because of their retired status, 57 percent of Campbell’s senior households earn extremely low to very low-incomes (<50% AMI). An increase of about 7 percent since 2000.

Overpayment: About half of Campbell’s senior households spend more than one -third of their incomes on housing costs. This problem is particularly acute among renting senior households where nearly 60 percent of these households are comprised of lower income.
About two-thirds of elderly households in Campbell are homeowners. Because of physical and/or other limitations, senior homeowners may have difficulty in performing regular home maintenance or repair activities. Furthermore, the installation of grab bars and other assistance devices in the home may be needed. Also, nearly 47 percent of the City’s senior households live alone. In the past there were programs to encourage home sharing and to extend the ability of seniors to remain in their homes. Unfortunately these programs are no longer provided due to funding cutbacks and limitations. Campbell is home to an estimated 1,055 senior renter households. Fifty-seven percent of Senior Households are in the Very Low and Low Income categories.
Through the Campbell Senior Center, which caters to seniors over the age of 50, the City also provides programs and services for seniors to facilitate social interaction and foster independence. Services include information and referrals, education classes, physical, leisure activities and social activities, transportation assistance and lunches. The Senior Center is a nutrition site under the Countywide Senior Nutrition Program, where congregate meals are made available to persons over the age of 60. There are two Meals on Wheels Programs serving residents in Campbell, one through the Council on Aging and the other through Health Trust Programs. These programs provide hot or ready meals for homebound seniors who have difficulty cooking or shopping for themselves. The Adult Center services also include providing a case manager who provides in- home, comprehensive social service assistance, to the City’s isolated, low - income, at-risk elderly; employment/housing referrals and seasonal homeowners and renters’ assistance.
Persons with Disabilities
A disability is defined as a long lasting condition that impairs an individual’s mobility, ability to work, or ability to care for themselves. Persons with disabilities include those with physical, mental, or emotional issues that make it difficult to live without special assistance or attention. Persons with disabilities often have special housing needs because of their fixed income, the lack of accessible and affordable housing, and the higher living and health costs associated with their disability.
In 2011, a total of 2,857 persons with disabilities resided in Campbell, representing about eight percent of the City’s population over the age of five. Of these persons with disabilities, approximately 38 percent of these residents are faced with mobility/self care limitations, 20 percent have physical limitations, and the remaining 42 percent have both sensory and mental disabilities. Of the City’s senior population, over one-third has one or more types of disabilities.
The living arrangement of disabled persons depends on the severity of the disability. Many persons live at home in an independent fashion or with other family members. To maintain independent living, disabled persons may need assistance. This can include special housing design features for the disabled, income support for those who are unable to work, and in-home supportive services for persons with medical conditions among others. Accessible housing can also be provided via senior housing developments. Campbell has adopted Reasonable Accommodation procedures to facilitate zoning modifications for persons with disabilities.

The State of California Community Care Licensing Division identifies thr ee adult residential facilities in Campbell that provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults ages 18-59 who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. The Silicon Valley Independent Living Center (SVILC) provides a variety of services to persons with disabilities in Santa Clara County. SVILC serves over 1,000 County residents annually. Services offered include: information and referral, vocational training and placement, residential training, legal and personal advocacy, peer and individual counseling, housing referrals, and personal assistance referrals and placement. To help its clients locate affordable, accessible housing, SVILC maintain a database of accessible and subsidized housing throughout Santa Clara County. Rental assistance through the County Housing Authority also helps disabled persons afford housing in Campbell. Transportation service for persons with disabilities is available through OUTREACH paratransit, a non-profit agency, operating as the ADA paratransit broker for the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). OUTREACH is based on a reservation system with clients making reservations for trips one day to 14 days in advance. This service is provided with taxies or accessible vans.
Persons with Developmental Disabilities
A development disability is defined as a disabling condition that originated before an individual become 18 years old, and continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual. Development al disabilities include mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism, as well as the disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation (or that require treatment similar to individuals with mental retardation), but does not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature (though some developmentally disabled persons may also have physical disabilities).
According to the State Department of Development al Services there are 134 developmentally disabled persons over the age of 17 in Postal Code 95008. Postal Code 95008 encompasses over 98% of the incorporated City and is representative of the City of Campbell as a whole. For all persons with developmental disabilities in Postal Code 95008, 71% live at home with a parent, family member or guardian, 13% live in community care facilities, while 10% live in an independent supported living facility.
The remaining 6% have a variety of other less common living arrangements.
Many of the organizations that provide support to persons with disabilities also provide assistance to persons with developmental disabilities. According to the State Department of Social Services there are three Adult Residential Facilities for Persons with Special Care Needs in Postal Code 95008. These three facilities have a total capacity of 15 beds. The Zoning Ordinance allows in-home care facilities for less than 6 persons as a permitted use in all residential zones. In-home care facilities designed to accommodate up to 12 beds are allowed with a conditional use permit in all residential zones. Campbell has also adopted Reasonable Accommodation procedures that can also facilitate zoning modifications for the families and caretakers of persons with developmental disabilities.
Large Households
Large households are defined as having five or more members residing in the home. These households constitute a special needs group, because there is often a limited supply of adequately sized, affordable housing units in a community. In order to save for other basic necessities of food, clothing and medical care, it is common for lower-income large households to reside in smaller units, which frequently results in overcrowding. To accommodate larger households, units with three or more bedrooms are generally appropriate for large households. According to the 2010 Census, Campbell is home to 1,283 Large

Households, or about eight percent of all households. Fifty-three percent (681) of large households live in owner occupied units while 47 percent (602) of large households live in renter-occupied units.
Approximately 48 percent (7,811) of all housing units in Campbell have three or more bedrooms. While the total number of larger units appears to be adequate to accommodate large households, virtually all of the available units require at least Above Moderate Incomes to afford. According to the recent home and condominium sales (Table A-20), 88% of all units sold in 2013 had 3 or more bedrooms. However, the median sale price for a 3-bedroom home in Campbell in 2013 was $750,000, this equates to a minimum household income of over $165,000 per year to meet State’s affordability criteria. This minimum household income is well above the median household income for Campbell residents.
Large households renting housing have a similar, though different, problem. In contrast, according to the recent rental survey (Table A-21), only 12% of the available for rent units had 3 or more bedrooms.
However, with median rents for 3-bedroom apartments at $2,900 and median rents for 3-bedroom homes at $3,350 (when these larger units are available), the affordability of large rental units for even Moderate Income households remains an issue. Because of limited availability, combined with limited affordability, lower income large households will have difficulty finding housing in Campbell.
Female-headed Households
Female-headed households with children often require special consideration and assistance as a result of their greater need for affordable housing, accessible day care, health care, and other supportive services.
Because of their relatively lower incomes and higher living expenses, such households usually have more limited opportunities for finding affordable, decent, and safe housing.
Campbell is home to 1,741 female-headed households, of which 54% have children under 18 years old.
Of those households with children, 10% had incomes below poverty level. This is in contrast to the general population where only 3% had incomes below the poverty level and 9% of female-headed households without children had incomes below the poverty level. These households are a particularly vulnerable group because the household head must try to balance the needs of their children with work and other household responsibilities.
Homeless Persons
The 2013 Homeless Census and Survey for Santa Clara County were conducted on January 29 and 30, 2013. The 2013 Census and Survey involved two components: 1) a point- in-time count of unsheltered and sheltered homeless, and 2) one- on-one interviews with about 850 homeless. The comprehensive, two-day homeless count identified approximately 5,600 homeless people on the streets, and an additional 2,000 people in emergency shelters, transitional housing, and domestic violence shelters. Key findings of the homeless count and supplementary interviews include:
56 percent indicated they had been homeless for more than one year. Approximately half of those surveyed indicated that this was their first experience being homeless.
About two-thirds of the homeless identified as male.
Only 25 percent of the County’s homeless lived in formal shelters or transitional housing.

Over one-third of the County’s homeless were living in vehicles and encampments and almost one-third were living on the street.
40 percent of survey respondents indicated the primary cause of their homelessness was due to the loss of a job and 17 percent indicating alcohol or drug use was the primary factor. About two-thirds of respondents indicated they were experiencing one or more disabling conditions with 35 percent reported experiencing some form of mental illness.
Within the City of Campbell, the 2013 Homeless Census and Survey identified 91 homeless people, a decrease of 12 persons from the 2011 Survey. Despite the recent decrease in the number of homeless individuals in Campbell, the total number of homeless persons has stayed relatively constant ranging between 90 and 105 individuals. All of the homeless individuals identified in the Survey were unsheltered because there are no homeless shelters within the City.
There are three major types of facilities that provide shelter for homeless individuals and families:
emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent housing. These types of facilities are defined below:
Emergency Shelter: provides overnight shelter and fulfills a client’s basic needs (i.e. food, clothing, and medical care) either on-site or through off-site services. The permitted length of stay can vary from one day at a time to two months, depending upon whether the shelter is short-term or long- term.
Transitional Housing: a residence that provides housing for up to two years. Residents of transitional housing are usually connected to rehabilitative services, including substance abuse and mental health care interventions, employment services, individual and group counseling and life skills training.
Permanent Housing: refers to permanent housing that is affordable in the community or permanent and service-enriched permanent housing that is linked with on-going supportive services (on-site or off-site) and is designed to allow formerly homeless clients to live at the facility on an indefinite basis.
As a smaller city, Campbell does not have any permanent emergency shelters. Numerous regional service providers serve the homeless in the greater San Jose area. Homeless individuals identified in Campbell are usually referred to one of the emergency shelters located nearby.
As the Sant a Clara County’s largest provider of shelters and services for the homeless, EHC Home First provides emergency shelters, transitional and permanent housing and support services through a network of program locations throughout the County. InnVision operates four inns in San Jose, which provide to a variety of persons in need, including working men, women and children, and mentally ill persons.
InnVision serves clients in Campbell based on the availability of space in the inns at San Jose. However, if there are no available spaces, clients get referred to any one of the 20 sites of InnVision, some of which are located outside of San Jose. As exhibited in Table A-15, EHC and InnVision provide a significant number of beds in transitional housing facilities and emergency shelters for the homeless.

Farmworkers
Farmworkers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through seasonal agricultural labor. They have special housing needs because of their relatively low income and the unstable nature of their job (i.e. having to move throughout the year from one harvest to the next).
According to the 2010 Census, there were 83 Campbell residents employed in farming, forestry, and fishing occupations. These individuals accounted for less than one percent of the City’s total employed residents. Given that there are so few persons employed in agricultural-related industries, the City can address their specific housing needs through its overall housing programs.

3. Housing Stock Characteristics
This section of the Housing Element addresses various housing characteristics and conditions that affect the well-being of City residents. Housing factors evaluated include the following: housing stock and growth, tenure and vacancy rates, age and condition, housing costs, and affordability, among others.
A. Housing Growth
As of January 2013, the State Department of Finance estimates identified 17,301 housing units in Campbell. Between 1990 and 2000, the City’s housing stock increased by less than three percent, with an additional 3.8% increase from 2000-2010. Figure A- 16 compares Campbell’s housing growth during the past two decades with nearby communities and the County as a whole. As shown, housing growth levels in Campbell are similar to the comparably small-sized cities of Saratoga and Los Gatos. In contrast, the larger cities of San Jose and Santa Clara are where much of the housing growth has occurred in the recent decades.
Figure A-16: Housing Growth Trends – Percent Change Over Each Decade
B. Housing Age and Condition
Housing age is an important indicator of housing condition within a community. Like any other tangible asset, housing is subject to gradual deterioration over time. If not properly and regularly maintained, housing can deteriorate and discourage reinvestment, depress neighboring property values and eventually impact the quality of life in a neighborhood. Thus maintaining and improving housing quality is an important goal for the City.

Figure A-17 provides a breakdown of the housing stock by the year built from the 2010 Census. As of 2010, 77 percent of housing units in Campbell are over 30 years old and 28 percent of the total housing stock is over 50 years old. A general rule in the housing industry is that structures older than 30 years begin to show signs of deterioration and require reinvestment to maintain their quality. Unless properly maintained, homes older than 50 years require major renovations to remain in good working order.
Comprising the southwestern quadrant of the City, the San Tomas Area is one of the older neighborhoods in Campbell and has the greatest rehabilitation needs. In recent years, with the recovery of the economy, there has been an increase in owner reinvestment into some older homes in this area to address individual rehabilitation needs. This trend is expected to continue through the period of this Housing Element.
Figure A-17: Age of Housing Stock
The City administers a Code Enforcement program that aims to preserve and maintain the livability and quality of neighborhoods. The City received targeted CDBG funding for a code enforcement program in the identified low-income areas of the City. Code enforcement staff investigates violations of property maintenance standards as defined in the Municipal Code as well as other complaints.
C. Housing Type and Tenure
Table A-18 presents the mix of housing types in Campbell. Of the City’s nearly 17,000 housing units in 2010, 58 percent were single-family homes (including attached and detached) and 40 percent were multi- family units. The City also contains over 300 mobile homes, comprising two percent of the City’s housing.
The vacancy rate in Campbell is currently estimated at 4.6%.

According to the Department of Finance, since 2010 Campbell has added 52 additional Single Family Detached Units and 27 Single Family Attached Units, or approximately 28 new units per year. This is a slightly slower rate of growth than was seen between 2000 and 2010, when an average of 60 new units were constructed each year. This slowdown in the construction of new housing is not unexpected since the lingering effects of The Great Recession halted new home construction between 2007 and 2010. As the economy continues to improve the number of new housing units is expected to return to their former levels. The most recent vacancy information provided by the Bureau of the Census identified a total of 426 vacant units in Campbell. Sixty percent of these units were identified as rental housing. The remaining units were identified as either seasonal, recreational, or occasional use properties.
Housing tenure refers to whether a housing unit is owned, rented or is vacant. Tenure is an important indicator of the housing climate of a community, reflecting the relative cost of housing opportunities, and the ability of residents to afford housing. Tenure also influences residential mobility, with owner units generally evidencing lower turnover rates than rental housing. The housing tenure trends since 1990 are depicted in Table A-19.

According to the 2010 Census, a little over half of Campbell’s housing units were owner occupied, a shift in the historic tenure pattern where more residential units were renter occupied versus owner occupied.
However, the percent of ownership in Campbell is still less than the 58 percent ownership rate Countywide. This is most likely because much of the newer housing in Campbell has been higher density (and more commonly rental housing).

D. Housing Costs and Affordability
The cost of housing is directly related to extent of housing problems in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, there will be a correspondingly higher prevalence of overpayment and overcrowding. This section summarizes the cost and affordability of the housing stock to Campbell residents.
Sales Survey
Table A-20 provides information on all sales of existing and new single-family homes and condominiums in Postal Code 95008 within the Campbell city limits during 2013. Postal Code 95008 encompasses over 98% of the incorporated City and is representative of the City of Campbell as a whole. The information summarized in Table A-20 also excludes several larger parcels that appeared to have been priced for future subdivision purposes.
A total of 292 single-family home sales were recorded during this period, with nearly 60 percent comprised of three bedroom units. Median sales prices ranged from $680,000 for two-bedroom units to $1,125,000 for five (or more) bedrooms with sale prices varying significantly based on location. The average age of the units sold were generally representative of the overall housing stock where most of the homes in Campbell were built between 1950 and 1989. Unit sizes were relatively modest, averaging only 1,730 square feet on typical 7,000 to 9,000 square foot residential lots. The overall median price for a home sold in 2013 was $810,000. This median priced unit had three bedrooms and was built in the 1960s. Single family homes in Campbell are generally not affordable to modest income households.

# Because of a small sample size the median price was not representative, so a mean value is used instead.
Approximately one-third of all units sold in Campbell during calendar year 2013 were condominiums. The median sales prices for condominiums ranged from $321,500 to $664,000 (for the one- and four-bedroom units, respectively), with an overall median price of $515,000. In comparison, median sale price for a condominium documented in Campbell’s 2009 Housing Element was $505,000, indicating little increase

in sales prices over the past four to five years. Whereas the vast majority of single-family homes were three and four bedroom units, condominiums were predominately two and three-bedroom units, selling for significantly less than similarly sized single-family homes. Condominiums in Campbell are thus helping to fill a gap for smaller, less expensive ownership housing in the City and are generally affordable for Moderate Income households.
Rental Survey
Current rental housing costs in Campbell were obtained through a rent survey compiled from internet sources on January 13 and 27, 2014. Table A-21 enumerates the rental ranges, as well as the median rents, for apartment/townhome units, single family homes, and single rooms for rent in Campbell. This data was assembled from over 60 advertised rental reviewed during the second half of January 2014.
The median rents for apartment units in Campbell range from $1,400 for a studio, $1,725 for a one- bedroom unit, $2,070 for a two-bedroom unit, up to $2,900 for a three-bedroom unit. The most commonly available apartments have two bedrooms.
For the single family homes, the costs to
rent a three bedroom single family home
overlaps with the rental rates for the three
bedroom apartments and townhouses.
The monthly rental rates for single family
homes range from $2,800 to nearly $4,000
per month. The majority of available single
family homes are three-bedroom units
with either one or two bathrooms. It is
also interesting to note that while nearly
half of all residential units in Campbell
have three or more bedrooms, this
category represents the least available
type of rental housing with a pattern of
longer tenure and less frequent turnover.
Housing Affordability
Housing affordability can be inferred by comparing the cost of renting or owning a home in Campbell with the maximum affordable housing costs to households which earn different income levels. Taken together, this information can provide a picture of who can afford what size and type of housing as well as indicate the type of households that would likely experience overcrowding or overpayment.
Affordable Ownership Housing Cost
California Health and Safety Code (Section 50052.5) defines affordable owner housing costs as follows:
Housing costs consist of mortgage debt service, homeowner association dues, insurance, utility allowance and property taxes.
Affordable costs are up to 35 percent of the defined household income.

Affordable costs for moderate income households are based on a standard of 110 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) for a household size equal to one more person than the number of bedrooms in the unit.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) conducts annual household income surveys nationwide, including Santa Clara County, to determine the maximum affordable payments of different households and their eligibility for federal housing assistance. The 2013 median Income Limits for a four-person household in Santa Clara County is $116,050. Based on these definitions of income and affordable housing cost, Table A-22 presents the maximum affordable purchase price for moderate income households (110% AMI), and compares this with market sales prices for single-family homes and condominiums in Campbell as previously documented in Table A-20.

Utility costs based on 2013 Santa Clara County Housing Authority utility allowance schedule for attached units (assumes gas heating, cooking and water heating).
As illustrated, median single-family home prices in Campbell are well beyond the Ievel of affordability for Moderate Income households. For example, the maximum affordable purchase price for a moderate income four person household is $530,000, whereas the median priced three bedroom home in Campbell is $750,000, an affordability gap of $220,000.
However, condominiums are still within close reach for households earning moderate incomes. As shown in Table A-22, the maximum affordable purchase price for a three person household is $480,000, whereas the median priced two-bedroom condominium in Campbell sells for $490,000, an affordability gap of just $10,000. However if housing costs continue to rise faster than the household incomes, these presently affordable condominium units will become less affordable over time. A first-time homebuyer program implemented by Santa Clara County can provide assistance to moderate income households to close this affordability gap.

Housing costs include rent plus utilities paid for by the tenant. Affordable rent is up to 30 percent of the defined household income. Affordable rents are based on a standard of 50 percent of AMI for very low income households; 60 percent of AMI for low income households; and 110 percent AMI for moderate income households for a household size equal to one more person than the number of bedrooms in the unit.
Table A-23 presents the maximum affordable rents for very low, low and moderate income households by household size, and compares these income levels with median room and apartment rents in Campbell.
For Very Low Income wage earners, there is little affordable rental housing in Campbell. Even the median price for individual rooms for rent exceeds the affordability levels for Very Low Income households. For Low Income households, while studio units are generally affordable, the larger the units size, the greater the affordability gap. This is a particular burden for Low Income families requiring units with two or more bedrooms. Apartment rents in Campbell are affordable to Moderate Income households regardless of the unit size.

E. Assisted Rental Housing
State Housing Element law requires an analysis of the potential for currently rent-restricted low income housing units to convert to market rate housing, and to propose programs to preserve or replace any units “at-risk” of conversion. This section presents an inventory of all assisted rental housing in Campbell, and evaluates those units at risk of conversion during the ten year, 2015-2025 planning period.

Assisted Housing Inventory
Table A-24 is an inventory of assisted rental housing projects in Campbell. A total of 747 assisted units are provided in twelve developments, including units assisted through a variety of federal and local government programs/funds. These programs include HUD Section 8, Section 221 and Section 236, CDBG, and the City’s Inclusionary Housing requirement.

At-Risk Projects
This section evaluates those lower income rental projects in Campbell at-risk of converting to market-rate uses prior to January 31, 2025. Of the 747 assisted units identified in Table A-24, 390 units in two projects are determined to be at low risk of conversion over the next ten year period: Corinthian House, Rincon Gardens and Wesley Manor. All of these projects maintain Section 8 project-based Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) contracts with HUD subject to periodic renewals. To maintain the existing affordable housing stock, the City must either preserve the existing assisted units or facilitate the development of new units.
Depending on the circumstances of at-risk projects, different options may be used to preserve or replace the units. Preservation options can include transferring the project to non-profit ownership, providing rental assistance to tenants using non-federal funding sources, and/or purchasing affordability covenants.
In terms of replacement, the most direct option is the development of new assisted multi-family housing units. These options are described below.

2015-2023 Housing Element
Appendix A: Housing Needs Assessment Page A 25
o Transfer of Ownership: Transferring ownership of an at-risk project to a non-profit housing provider is generally one of the least costly ways to ensure that the at-risk units remain affordable for the long term. By transferring property ownership to a non-profit organization, low-income restrictions can be secured indefinitely and the project would become potentially eligible for a greater range of governmental assistance. This preservation option is, however, not applicable in Campbell because both at-risk projects are already owned by non-profit organizations. These projects are determined to be at “low” risk of conversion largely due to their non-profit status.
o Rental Assistance: If Section 8 rent subsidies are terminated at the federal level, rent subsidies using alternative State or local funding sources could be used to maintain affordability of the 390 at-risk units. Subsidies could be structured similar to the federal Section 8 program, where HUD pays the owners the difference between what tenants can afford to pay (30% of household income) and what HUD estimates as the Fair Market Rent (FMR) on the unit. The feasibility of this alternative depends upon the availability of non-federal funding sources necessary to make rent subsidies available and the willingness of property owners to accept rental vouchers if they can be provided.
Table A-25 shows the total cost of subsidizing the rents at all at-risk units currently assisted through the Section 8 program. As indicated below, the total cost of providing rent subsidizes to all 190 at-risk units in Campbell (the difference between HUD Fair Market Rents and maximum affordable rents to Very Low Income households) is generally estimated at about $55,000 per month or $660,000 annually, translating to roughly $13 million over a 20-year period. Another way rent subsidies could be structured is as a rent buy-down. This would involve the City or County providing a one-time assistance loan to the property owner to cover the present value of the decrease in rents associated with the extended affordability term compared with market rents achievable on the units. This approach offers a benefit to the owner in that they receive cash upfront from the loan.

*Corinthian House consists of 22 studio and 14 one-bedroom units. All 154 units in Wesley Manor are one-bedroom units.
o Acquisition or Construction of Replacement Units: The construction or purchase of a replacement building is another option to replace at-risk units should they be converted to market-rate units. The cost of developing housing depends upon a variety of factors, including density, size of the units, location, land costs, and type of construction. Using a conservative estimate of total development costs of $250,000 per affordable housing unit, the cost to replace Campbell’s 190 at -risk units can generally be estimated at approximately $48 million.
Cost Comparisons: Given their non-profit and public ownership, it is highly unlikely that either of the two “at risk” projects will convert to market-uses. Nevertheless, the above analysis attempts to estimate the cost of preserving the at-risk units under various options. In terms of cost effectiveness, 20 years' worth of rent subsidies ($13 million) is less expensive than the cost of new construction or the purchase of

replacement units ($48 million). However, long-term affordability of the units cannot be ensured through rent subsidies, unless it was structured as a one-time rent buy-down. The option of acquiring or developing 190 replacement units is very costly and constrained by a variety of factors, including limited purchase opportunities of large multi-family properties and the scarcity of land for new development.
The best option to preserve the at-risk units thus appears to be the purchase of affordability covenants through a one-time rent buy-down.
Redevelopment Housing Program Funding
Because of the loss of Redevelopment Agency (RDA) funding in 2012, the City of Campbell no longer administers the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The loss of RDA funding forced the City to eliminate the position of Housing Program Coordinator, who also coordinated CDBG- funded programs. The part-time Housing Program Coordinator implemented many of the City’s housing programs and functions and was partially funded by RDA and CDBG funds.
Since 2012, some of the functions and responsibilities of the Housing Program Coordinator were transferred to the City’s Planning Division after the City turned over administration of the CDBG program to Santa Clara County (except for targeted code enforcement and capital improvements for pedestrian accessibility). Consequently Campbell no longer administers any of the CDBG Housing programs (though Campbell still administers the previously awarded RDA/CDBG funded loans). Even though the City no longer administers any of the housing activities funded through CDBG, Campbell residents still have access to rehabilitation and repair funding through Santa Clara County.
The City has not yet identified alternative funding sources for the activities previously funded by the RDA Housing Set Aside and CDBG programs.
4. Regional Housing Needs
State law requires all regional councils of governments, including the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to determine the existing and projected housing need for its region (Government Code Section 65580 et. seq.) and determine the portion allocated to each jurisdiction within the ABAG region. This is called the Regional Housing Needs Determination (RHND) process.
A. Existing Housing Needs
A continuing priority of communities is enhancing or maintaining their quality of life. A key measure of quality of life in a community is the extent of “housing problems.” The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has developed an existing needs statement that details the number of households earning lower income, living in overcrowded conditions, or overpaying for housing. These housing problems are defined as follows:
Lower Income: Refers to a household earning less than 80 percent of the median family income, as adjusted by family size. For a four-person household, the median income was $114,514 for Santa Clara County in 2011 (American Community Survey, 2007-2011). Overcrowding: Refers to a housing unit which is occupied by more than one person per room, excluding kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and porches, as defined by HUD.

Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs) City of Campbell
2015-2023 Housing Element
Appendix A: Housing Needs Assessment Page A 27
Overpayment: Refers to a household paying 30 percent or more of its gross income for rent (either mortgage or rent), including costs for utilities, property insurance, and real estate taxes, as defined by HUD.
Overcrowding
Overcrowding occurs when housing costs are so high relative to income that families double up to devote income to other basic needs of food and medical care. Overcrowding also tends to result in accelerated deterioration of homes, a shortage of street parking, and additional traffic. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable level of occupancy and alleviating overcrowding are critical to enhancing the quality of life in the community.
The Census defines overcrowding as an average of more than one person per room in a housing unit (excluding kitchens, porches, and hallways); severe overcrowding is defined as greater than 1.5 persons per room. The incidence of overcrowded housing is a general measure of whether there is an available supply of adequately sized housing units. Table A-26 shows the incidence of overcrowding in Campbell by tenure, as estimated by the Bureau of Census. The prevalence of overcrowding and overpayment is particularly higher among lower-income households, because they have less income for housing costs.
Tables A-26 and A-27 document the prevalence of overcrowding and overpayment among all households in Campbell.

Source: Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2008-2012 American Community Survey Note: Severe Overcrowding is a subset of Overcrowding
Since 2000, the percentage of overcrowded units has generally declined throughout Santa Clara County.
For example, according to the 2000 Census there were over 1,200 overcrowded units in Campbell or about 8 percent of the housing stock. Santa Clara County experienced a more dramatic reduction in overcrowding during this same period, with a reduction from 14 percent to 7 percent. This change is mostly likely due to several factors including: the economic recovery that allowed some people to afford their own housing (rather than sharing with friends and family) and from people moving out of the region during the recession in search for work.

Overpayment
Housing overpayment refers to spending more than 30 percent of income on housing; severe overpayment is spending greater than 50 percent. As is the case in throughout the Bay Area, it is not uncommon to overpay for housing in Campbell. However, to the extent that overpayment is often disproportionately concentrated among the most vulnerable members of the community, maintaining a reasonable level of housing cost burden is an important contributor to quality of life. Table A-27 shows the incidence of overpayment in Campbell.

Notes: Percentage lower income overpayment reflects % of total lower income households spending > 30% income on housing.
Severe Overpayment is a subset of Overpayment
According to the most recent information on housing costs, 38 percent of homeowners and 43 percent of renters in Campbell were overpaying for housing, an increase from 2000 by 11 percent and 3 percent, respectively. The level of overpayment is similar to the amount of overpayment Countywide. In terms of overpayment for lower income households, this percentage also increased from 15 percent in 2000 to 19 percent in 2010. Severe overpayment impacts 19 percent of the City’s renters as opposed to only 9 percent of owner households. In terms of lower income (<80% AMI) households, 994 of lower income homeowners and 2,590 lower income renters were faced with overpayment for housing in Campbell.
Many of the lower income households also experience severe overpayments for housing.

B. Future Housing Needs
California’s Housing Element law requires that each city and county develop local housing programs to meet its “fair share” of existing and future housing needs for all income groups, as determined by the jurisdiction’s Council of Governments. This “fair share” allocation concept seeks to ensure that each jurisdiction accepts responsibility for the housing needs of not only its resident population, but also for the jurisdiction’s projected share of regional housing growth across all income categories. Regional growth needs are defined as the number of units that would have to be added in each jurisdiction to accommodate the forecasted number of households, as well as the number of units that would have to be added to compensate for anticipated demolitions and changes to achieve an “ideal” vacancy rate.
In the Bay Area region, the agency responsible for assigning these regional housing needs to each jurisdiction is the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). The regional growth allocation process begins with the State Department of Finance’s projections of population and associated of housing demand for the planning period. ABAG is responsible for allocating the region’s projected housing needs among its jurisdictions by income category. This is referred to as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process. The RHNA represents the minimum number of housing units each community is required to provide “adequate sites” for through zoning and is one of t he primary threshold criteria necessary to achieve State approval of the Housing Element.
In devising the formula for allocating the 187,990 units amongst jurisdictions, ABAG had to consider how each of these statutory factors could be incorporated into the mathematical equation. ABAG staff and members of the Housing Methodology Committee sought input from every jurisdiction in the Bay Area on the factors and how they could be used. The final allocation method adopted by ABAG’s Executive Board includes factors related to housing and employment growth, and public transit.
As defined by the RHNA, Campbell’s new construction need for th e 2015-2023 time period has been established at 933 new units as distributed among the four income categories as shown in Table A-28.
Through this Housing Element, the City will demonstrate the availability of adequate sites to accommodate these projected new units.

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 1
APPENDIX B. HOUSING CONSTRAINTS
This section of the Housing Element discusses the characteristics of the City’s population and housing stock as a means of better understanding the nature and extent of unmet housing needs. Appendix B, the Housing Needs Assessment is comprised of the following components: (1) Market Constraints; (2) Governmental Constraints; and (3) Environmental Constraints. The provision of adequate and affordable housing opportunities is an important goal of the City. However, there are a variety of factors that can encourage or constrain the development, maintenance, and improvement of the housing stock in Campbell. These include market mechanisms, government codes, and physical and environmental constraints. This section addresses the potential market, governmental, and environmental constraints in Campbell.
1. Market Constraints
Land costs, construction costs, and market financing contribute to the cost of housing reinvestment, and can potentially hinder the production of new affordable housing. Although many constraints are driven by market conditions, jurisdictions have some leverage in instituting policies and programs to addressing the constraints.
A. Development Costs
Construction costs vary widely according to the type of development, with multi-family housing generally less expensive to construct than single family homes. However, there is wide variation within each construction type depending on the size of unit and the number and quality of amenities provided, such as fireplaces, swimming pools, and interior fixtures among others. Land costs may vary depending on whether the site is vacant or has an existing use which must be removed.
Ways to reduce development costs include a reduction in amenities and the quality of building materials (above a minimum acceptability for health, safety, and adequate performance) which could, in theory, result in lower sales prices. In addition, prefabricated factory-built housing may provide for lower priced housing by reducing materials and labor costs. Another factor related to construction costs is the number of units built at one time. As the number increases, overall costs generally decrease as builders can benefit from economies of scale.
Another key component is the price of raw land and any necessary improvements. The diminishing supply of residential land combined with a high demand for such development keeps land cost high in cities across the Bay Area. One large lot vacant land sale occurred in 2013. A 2.6 acres parcel on Abbott Avenue sold for $4.1 million. The property is located in the R-1-9 Zone. An evaluation of the number of units that could be constructed on the site, based upon the need to extend Abbott Avenue across the property, varies from eight to ten units under the current zoning. The cost for this site was $36 per square foot or between $410,000 and $512,000 per unit.

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 2
B. Mortgage and Rehabilitation Financing
The availability of financing in a community depends on a number of factors, including the type of lending institutions active in the community, lending practices, rates and fees charged, laws and regulations governing financial institutions, and equal access to those institutions. Through analysis of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data on the disposition of residential loan applications, an assessment can be made of the availability of residential financing within a community.
Chart B-1 summarizes HMDA data for both Campbell and Santa Clara County as a whole, providing information on the approval status of all home purchase and home improvement loan applications in 2012. Of the total of 530 applications for home purchase loans in Campbell, 81 percent were approved, 9 percent denied, and 10 percent withdrawn or incomplete. In comparison to the County-wide average, mortgage loan approval rates were slightly higher in Campbell (81%), than the County (78%).
Approval rates for home improvement loans were however somewhat lower in Campbell than Santa Clara County as a whole, at 67 percent compared to 70 percent County-wide.

Review of mortgage loan denial rates by census tract identifies one area in Campbell with a denial rate more than double the citywide average of 9 percent. Of the 65 applications for mortgage loans in Census Tract 5066.06, (located in northwest Campbell immediately west of the San Tomas Expressway), 19 percent (12 applications) were denied.
2. Governmental Constraints
Local policies and regulations can impact the price and availability of housing and in particular, the provision of affordable housing. Land use controls, site improvement requirements, fees and exactions, permit processing procedures, and various other issues may present constraints to the maintenance, development and improvement of housing. This section discusses potential governmental constraints in Campbell.
A. Land Use Controls
The Land Use Element of the General Plan sets forth the City’s policies for guiding local development.
These policies, together with existing zoning regulations, establish the amount and distribution of land allocated for different uses within Campbell. As summarized below in Table B-2, the Land Use Element provides for six residential land use designations, a mobile home park designation, one commercial designation, and three mixed-use designations that allow for residential uses. The Commercial/Light

B. Zoning Standards
The Campbell Zoning Ordinance, Title 21 of the Municipal Code, contains the primary development provisions that implement the development of private land under the General Plan (include the Housing Element).
Residential Development Standards
The City regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential development primarily through the Zoning Code. Zoning regulations are designed to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of residents as well as implement the policies of the City’s General Plan. The Zoning Code also serves to preserve the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods. The Code sets forth the City’s specific residential development standards, which are summarized in Table B-3.

The standard parking requirement for small lot single family projects is slightly higher than that for single-family homes because small lot single family developments commonly do not have private driveways or open street frontage for additional parking. The City has also found that the parking need for these projects is greater than those for apartments or other multiple-family uses because they are

often larger in size and have more bedrooms. Small lot single family projects commonly have more drivers per household than apartments, and consequently, often have more vehicles.
The City permits carports in lieu of garages for all housing units, which can serve to reduce development costs. Under the City’s density bonus program, projects that provide affordable (below market rate) or senior housing may be eligible for a reduction in the parking requirements (per Zoning Code Section 21.28.050). Additionally, the Planning Commission has the authority to adjust the parking requirements for specific projects when they determine that there are circumstances that warrant an adjustment. These circumstances may include proximity to light rail stations, transit corridors, or major employment centers. The Planning Commission or City Council may also permit projects consisting of two diverse land uses (such as residential and commercial) to jointly occupy the same parking spaces when their parking demands occur at different times.
Examples of parking modifications/reductions approved by the City Council during the previous Housing Element cycle include:
Bay West Development, 1677 S. Bascom Avenue, the Planning Commission approved the use of tandem parking spaces for nine of the 168 units in the project. Merrill Gardens, 2014 Winchester Boulevard, the City Council approved 54 parking spaces for 126 senior housing units.
651 West Hamilton Avenue, the Planning Commission approved a reduction in the amount of required parking of approximately 70 spaces (2.3 parking spaces per unit versus 3.0 parking spaces per unit).
Special Master Plan and Area Plans
Campbell has adopted numerous area plans. Most of these are located around the Downtown area and around the existing VTA light rail stations. The four master and area plans which contain most of the opportunity housing sites are discussed below.
The North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA) Area Plan is located north of the civic center and south of East Hamilton Avenue along Salmar Avenue. This Area Plan was developed to guide this area from primarily industrial land uses to small lot and single family residences. About half of the original plan area has been converted to residential uses. Residential densities up to 20 units per acre are envisioned in this area.
The East Campbell Avenue Master Plan is located along East Campbell Avenue between the Downtown and Highway 17. The goal of the Master Pla n is to implement Land Use Policy 6.1, “Expansion of Downtown: Facilitate and encourage the evolution of the Downtown beyond the loop streets, eastward to the Hwy 17 overpass and westward to the Community Center, through public improvements, urban design and land use patterns that connect both visually and physically this stretch of Campbell Avenue.” Residential densities up to 27 units per acre are envisioned in this area.

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 6
The South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Area Plan is located immediately south of the East Campbell Avenue Master Plan between Campbell Avenue on the north, San Tomas Expressway on the south, Los Gatos Creek on the east, and Railway Avenue (the current VTA light rail line) on the west. This Area Plan was developed to guide the redevelopment of this area from older single family residential mixed with commercial and industrial land uses toward more higher density residential density and office development near the VTA Downtown Campbell light rail station and Downtown Campbell. Residential densities up to 27 units per acre are envisioned in this area.
The Winchester Boulevard Master Plan runs along both sides of Winchester Boulevard. The purpose of this Master Plan The goal of the Master Plan is to transform Winchester Boulevard into a vibrant mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented street, lined with ground-level businesses with residential or office above. The plan also intends to facilitate the physical and visual connection to Downtown and Campbell Avenue, as well as help increase Central Campb ell’s walkability and livability by providing increased housing and shopping opportunities. Residential densities up to 27 units per acre are envisioned in this area.
Flexible Design Provisions
The City offers various mechanisms to provide relief from development standards that are typically required of all residential projects under the Zoning Code. These mechanisms include mixed-use development provisions and the density bonus program in conjunction with the P-D Zone.
Planned Development (P-D) Zone
The purpose of the P-D Zoning District is to provide a degree of flexibility that is not generally available in other zoning districts. The flexibility is intended to allow developments that are more consistent with site characteristics while creating an optimum quantity and use of open space and good design consistent with the underlying General Plan Land Use Designation and any adopted guidelines for the area. The P-D Zone also facilitates mixed-use development, development concessions, and modified parking standards. Most of the Area Plan and Master Plan areas are zoned P-D.
Mixed-Use Development
Within the City of Campbell, there are several areas where mixed use development is encouraged, both as residential and commercial uses combined on a single parcel, and as components of a single development. A key strategy of the City’s General Plan is to integrate residential development along designated commercial corridors to create activity along the street, provide a variety of housing types near work and shopping, and enhance public safety. This strategy ensures safer, more viable commercial areas, with mixed-use residents helping to ensure the viability of the commercial uses.
Mixed-use development is located next to sidewalks or landscape setback areas adjacent to the public street to enhance visibility, pedestrian access and interaction with the commercial uses.
The City’s zoning ordinance provides several incentives to encourage mixed use. The allowable density of a mixed-use project is defined by the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) contained in specific land use policies within each Area or Specific Plan; residential uses are encouraged but not included in the calculation of the Floor Area Ratio. Campbell also allows for a shared parking reduction where two or more uses have distinct and differing peak parking usage periods. Furthermore, a reduction in the required open space for the residential component of a mixed-use project may be granted where the full amount of open space is unable to be accommodated due to the urban infill characteristics of the site . The City

has approved several mixed-use projects since adoption of the prior Housing Element. In addition, many of the previously approved projects that had been put on-hold because of The Great Recession of 2007-2009 are currently under development. The current City approved projects include the following:
The Merrill Gardens Project (2041 – 2127 S. Winchester Blvd.) initially approved in 2007, slightly modified by 2011, and was completed in December of 2013 and is now occupied. This project consists of 126 total units including 99 senior market rate units, 27 non-age restricted apartments, and an Alzheimer’s care unit. Of the 126 units, 19 very low income units are distributed throughout the project. The project also includes 18,000 square feet of retail space fronting Winchester Boulevard. The City Council approved several concessions including waiving the park fees for the affordable units.
Bay West Development (1677 S. Bascom Ave) – The City approved this mixed-use project in 2012 at the maximum zoned density of 27 units per acre. The project provides 126 market rate apartments and 15,295 square feet of retail space fronting Hamilton Avenue. Campbell approved a density bonus project of 14 Below Market Rate units as part of this project.
Affordable Housing Density Bonus
The City of Campbell continues to offer density bonus incentives for the provision of affordable housing and routinely updates the Zoning Ordinance as program requirements change. These provisions were last amended in 2008 to incorporate recent changes to State Law. The density bonus provisions include both the additional density requirement and the development concession provisions. The Density Bonus provisions are contained in Chapter 21.20 of the Municipal Code and incorporate the requirements of Government Code Section 65915.
For incorporating any of the following items, a housing developer will receive a twenty percent density bonus above the density normally allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. To receive this density bonus a project must incorporate one of the following:
Ten percent of the total units for lower income households; or Five percent of the total units for very low income households; or A senior citizen housing development (or mobile home park) that limits residency based on age requirements for housing for older persons.
In addition, by providing ten percent of the total units for moderate income households, an additional five percent density bonus is also available. The moderate income density bonus applies only to for sale units in a common interest development (as defined by Section 1351 of the California Civil Code).
The amount of density bonus to which the applicant is entitled varies according to the amount by which the percentage of affordable housing units exceeds the minimum percentage established in this section, but generally ranges from 20 to 35 percent above the specified General Plan Residential Density. In addition to the density bonus, eligible projects may receive up to three additional development incentives, depending on the proportion of affordable units and level of income targeting.

2015-2023 Housing Element
Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 8
Zoning Code Chapter 21.20 also includes provisions to allow development standard concessions for projects receiving a density bonus. The typical concessions/incentives that are offered include the following.
A reduction in site development standards (e.g., setback and square footage requirements, and/or parking requirements) or architectural design requirements. At the request of the developer, the City will permit a parking ratio (inclusive of handicapped and guest parking) of one space for 0-1 bedroom units, two spaces for 2-3 bedroom units, and 2½ spaces for four or more bedrooms.
Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the housing project if nonresidential land uses would reduce the cost of individual units in the housing project, and the nonresidential land uses would be compatible with the housing project and adjoining development. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the permit applicant or the City that would result in identifiable cost reductions. Examples include a reduction in the amount of required on-site parking, expedited processing pursuant to a mutually agreed upon schedule, and, the deferral of the collection of impact fees on market rate units until issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
The City advertises the availability of density bonus incentives on its website, and provides information to prospective residential applicants. The Merrill Gardens and Bay West Development projects were both granted an affordable housing density bonus of 35% for the incorporation of Very Low Income units into the projects.
Inclusionary Housing
Particularly since Campbell now requires 15 percent inclusionary units on a citywide basis, density bonuses offer a means of offsetting the cost of providing the required affordable units. Zoning Code Chapter 21.24 requires new residential projects with ten or more units to provide at least 15 percent of the total units for low and moderate income households at an affordable housing cost. Rental units are required to be made available to very low and low income households (minimum 40% to very low), while owner units are to be available to low and moderate income households. Previous regulatory agreements are recorded on inclusionary projects that require affordability for a period of 45 years for ownership units and 55 years for rental units.
The Inclusionary Housing Program originally addressed both rental and ownership units, however, due to a recent court case, the provisions which apply to rental units have been temporarily suspended.
As a means of providing flexibility in compliance with inclusionary requirements, the City allows the following alternatives to provision of on-site affordable units:
Off-site construction of affordable units;
Provision of rental units in for-sale projects (subject to Very Low and Low income affordability); Dedication of land sufficient to accommodate the required affordable units; or Payment of an in-lieu housing fee (for projects with densities at or below six units per acre).
The current fees are $34.50 per square foot for ownership housing units and $21.50 for rental housing units.

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 9
Campbell’s inclusionary ordinance also provides for a reduction or waiver of the inclusionary requirement if an applicant can show there is no reasonable relationship between the project and the requirement for affordable units, or if application of the inclusionary requirements represents a taking.
Since the adoption of the Ordinance, several larger projects have been required to provide affordable units. Examples include of these project include the senior housing project by Merrill Gardens on Winchester Boulevard and the Bay West Development on South Bascom Avenue. During this time many smaller projects, with less than 10 units, have been exempt from the ordinance. The City has not received negative feedback from developers of these larger projects in terms of affecting project viability. The ordinance is similar to surrounding cities and is generally accepted by the regional development community.
C. Provisions for a Variety of Housing
Housing element law specifies that jurisdictions must identify adequate sites to be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards to encourage the development of various types of housing for all economic segments of the population. This includes single-family homes, multi- family housing, factory-built housing, mobile homes, emergency shelters, supportive housing, and transitional housing. Table B-5 below summarizes housing types permitted within all residential and commercial zones. The Condominium-Planned Development (C-PD) is required for all projects proposing a condominium ownership project. Development under the C-PD Zone is processed using the P-D Zone development review processes.

Multi-Family Rental Housing
The City’s Zoning Code provides for apartment (rental) developments in the R -M, R-2, R-3, and P- D Zoning Districts by-right, and with approval of a conditional use permit in the C-3 (Central Business District) Zone. Densities of up to 27 dwelling units per acre are permitted, with additional densities for affordable and senior housing. The General Plan also provides for high density residential on designated commercial corridors surrounding the Valley Transit Agency (VTA) Light Rail Stations at Downtown Campbell and at Winchester. The VTA light rail system allows easy access to the rest of the urbanized core of Santa Clara County.
Campbell’s development standards have proven to be effective in allowing projects to achieve maximum densities. Given high land costs, the majority of multi-family and mixed use developments

in Campbell are built at or near maximum permitted densities. Recent examples include: Creekside Commons (27 du/acre with density bonus) and Merrill Gardens senior housing (34 du/acre with density bonus). These and other infill project examples demonstrate that the City’s development standards have not served as a constraint to achieving maximum zoned densities.
Condominiums
Similar to many jurisdictions, Campbell’s Zoning Code distinguishes between condominium (ownership) and multiple family (rental) housing. The C-PD (Condominium-Planned Development) zoning district provides for the construction of new condominiums, or conversion of existing rental housing into condominium ownership subject to a planned development permit. Condominiums are also conditionally permitted in the C-3 (Central Business District) Zone.
In order to provide maximum flexibility for projects and provide the city appropriate levels of discretion, large areas of the City are zoned Planned Development (P-D). This designation has proven over time to be an excellent vehicle for providing unique, custom tailored development solutions to generally small, heavily constrained in-fill sites. The City requires a zoning designation of Condominium Planned Development for condominium projects. This zoning requirement has not been a barrier to the approval of numerous condominium projects in the past.
Secondary Dwelling Units
The purpose of permitting additional living units in single-family districts is to allow more efficient use of the existing housing stock and infrastructure to provide the opportunity for the development of small rental housing units designed to meet the special housing needs of individuals and families, while preserving the integrity of single-family neighborhoods. Zoning Code Section 21.36.200 addresses the requirements for both attached and detached second units as an accessory use in Single Family (R-1) zoning districts. Campbell’s Zoning Code contains the following standards for secondary dwelling units. The minimum lot size is at least 10,000 square foot.
The maximum size is limited to 640 square feet, one bedroom and one-story in height, unless the lot is larger than 250% of the minimum required size in zone (when these size limitations for the units do not apply).
In conjunction with the primary single-family dwelling, a total of four parking spaces are required, two of which shall be covered. Spaces may be allowed in tandem in a driveway of a two-car garage if the garage meets minimum setbacks and lot configuration precludes placement of parking areas elsewhere on the property.
Must meet all of the applicable development standards of the zoning district (for example, setbacks, lot coverage, and floor area ratio);
Required to be designed so that the appearance of the property remains that of a single-family residence (for example, the entrances to secondary dwelling units must not be visible from the street); and,
A deed restriction is required that stipulates that only one of the two units on the property may be rented at any one time.

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 12
Campbell receives an average of 1 to 2 second unit applications annually with a total of 4 second units constructed between 2009 and 2013. Approximately one thousand Single Family zoned parcels in Campbell meet the minimum lot size requirement. This provides a significant additional capacity for second units.
Manufactured Housing/Mobile Homes
Section 65852.3 of the California Government Code requires jurisdictions to administratively allow manufactured homes on lots zoned for single-family dwellings if they meet certain standards. More specifically, the Government Code requires the following:
“Except with respect to architectural requirements, a city … shall only subject the manufactured home and the lot on which it is placed to the same development standards to which a conventional single-family residential dwelling on the same lot would be subject, including, but not limited to, building setback standards, side and rear yard requirements, standards for enclosures, access, and vehicle parking, aesthetic requirements, and minimum square footage requirements. Any architectural requirements imposed on the manufactured home structure itself, exclusive of any requirement for any and all additional enclosures, shall be limited to its roof overhang, roofing material, and siding material. These architectural requirements may be imposed on manufactured homes even if similar requirements are not imposed on conventional single-family residential dwellings. However, any architectural requirements for roofing and siding material shall not exceed those which would be required of conventional single-family dwellings constructed on the same lot. At the discretion of the local legislative body, the city or county may preclude installation of a manufactured home in zones specified in this section if more than 10 years have elapsed between the date of manufacture of the manufactured home and the date of the application for the issuance of a permit to install the manufactured home in the affected zone. In no case may a city, including a charter city, county, or city and county, apply any development standards that will have the effect of precluding manufactured homes from being installed as permanent residences.”
The City treats manufactured homes as simply another form of construction and does not apply any requirements to them other than what normally applies to new residential construction. A number of manufactured homes have gone through the normal design review process and been approved and built. Manufacture home on individual lots are allowed in the R-1 Single Family Zoning District.
Mobile Home Parks
Campbell permits mobile home parks in the P-D Zoning District on parcels with a Mobile Home Park General Plan land use designation. There are currently two mobile home parks in Campbell: Paseo de Palomas (106 units) and Timbercove Mobile Home Park (137 units).
Residential Care Homes and Residential Service Facilities Campbell’s Zoning Code defines Residential Care Homes as licensed facilities where care, services, or treatment is provided to persons living in a community residential setting. Residential Service Facilities are defined as a residential facility where the operator receives compensation for the provision of personal services, in addition to housing including protection, supervision, assistance, guidance, training, therapy, or other non-medical care. The Zoning Code distinguishes between small (six or fewer

occupants) and large (seven or more occupants) Residential Care Homes and Residential Service Facilities.
Section 1566.3 of the California Health and Safety Code requires residential facilities serving six or fewer persons to be considered a residential use of property for purposes of local zoning ordinances.
No local agency can impose stricter zoning or building and safety standards on these residential facilities – such as a conditional use permit (CUP), zoning variance or other zoning clearance - than is required of a family dwelling of the same type in the same zone. The Campbell Zoning Code permits Residential Care Homes and Residential Service Facilities serving six or fewer persons by right in all residential zones (R-1, R-D, R-M, R-2, R-3, P-D), and does not subject such facilities to a use permit, building standard, or regulation not otherwise required of single-family homes in the same zone.
The Health and Safety Code further states that no local zoning ordinance can include residential facilities which serve six or fewer residents in the definition of a boarding house, rooming house, institution or home for the care of minors, the aged, or the mentally infirm, foster care home, guest home, rest home, sanitarium, mental hygiene home, or other similar term which implies that the residential facility is a business run for profit or differs in any way from a family dwelling. In compliance with the State statutes, the Campbell’s Zoning Code provides the following separate definition for Rooming and Boarding Facilities, which are conditionally permitted in R-D, R-M, R-2 and R-3 zones:
“Rooming and Boarding houses means houses with individual bedrooms that are rented to between three to five persons for profit, whether or not meals are provided.”
Due to the unique characteristics of larger (more than six persons) residential care homes/facilities, most jurisdictions require a CUP to ensure neighborhood compatibility in the siting of these facilities.
As indicated previously in Table B-5, the Campbell Zoning Code provides for Residential Care Homes and Service Facilities with more than six occupants in most all residential zone districts, subject to approval of a CUP by the Planning Commission. The required findings for approval of a CUP in Campbell are directed towards ensuring compatibility of the proposed use and not tied to the user, and therefore are not viewed as a constraint per se to the provision of residential care facilities.
The California courts have invalidated the following definition of “family” within jurisdictions Zoning Ordinances: (a) an individual, (b) two or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption, or (c) a group of not more than a certain number of unrelated persons as a single housekeeping unit. Court rulings state that defining a family does not serve any legitimate or useful objective or purpose recognized under the zoning and land planning powers of the city, and therefore violates rights of privacy under the California Constitution. A zoning ordinance also cannot regulate residency by discrimination between biologically related and unrelated persons. In 2014, Campbell’s Zoning Code was amended to redefine the term of “family”. Family now means: “an individual or group of persons living together who constitute a bona fide single housekeeping unit in a dwelling unit. "Family" shall not be construed to include a fraternity, sorority, club, or other group of persons occupying a hotel, lodging house, or institution of any kind.” The revised definition is now consistent with State and Federal law on the definition of family.

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 14
The previous definition of family (while not entirely consistent with the new definition) did not function to preclude residential care or other group hou sing from the City’s residential zone districts, as evidenced by the State Community Care Licensing Division which identified three Adult Residential Facilities, three Adult Residential Facility for Persons with Special Health Care Needs, and fourteen Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly in Campbell.
Transitional and Supportive Housing
During the 2014 Zoning Ordinance amendment, Campbell provided specific definitions for supportive housing, transitional housing, and target population to comply with State Law. The new definitions area as follows:
Transitional housing means “buildings configured as rental housing development, but operated under program requirements that require the termination of assistance and recirculating of the assisted unit to another eligible program recipient at a predetermined future point in time that shall be no less than six months from the beginning of the assistance.” Supportive housing means “housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population, and that is linked to an onsite or offsite service that assists the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community.” Target population means “persons with low incomes who have one or more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other chronic health condition, or individuals eligible for services provided pursuant to the Lanterman Developmental Disabilities Services Act (Division 4.5 (commencing with Section 4500) of the Welfare and Institutions Code) and may include, among other populations, adults, emancipated minors, families with children, elderly persons, young adults aging out of the foster care system, individuals exiting from institutional settings, veterans, and homeless people.” Until recently, Zoning Code Section 21.36.230, included requirements for a conditional use permit as well as a 300 foot separation requirement between transitional facilities and another similar facility or single-family zoned parcel. However, in 2014 Transitional and Supportive Housing became permitted uses in all residential zoning districts (R-1, R-D, R-M, R-2, R-3, and P-D). This is also shown in Table B-
5. Emergency Shelters
State Law requires that local jurisdictions allow for emergency shelters. In compliance with SB 2, Campbell has reviewed its zoning districts and determined a portion of the M-1 Zoning District is best suited to be most conducive to house an emergency homeless shelter. The 2014 amendment defined Emergency Shelter as “temporary housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. No individual or ho
usehold may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay.” Emergency Shelters are now allowed, without a conditional use permit, in a portion of the M-1 (Light Industrial) Zoning District bounded generally by Camden Avenue, Los Gatos Creek County Park, Hacienda Avenue and Winchester Boulevard.

This sub-area of the M-1 Zoning District provides for light industrial and commercial uses, and is located centrally within the city and has good proximity to transit (bus and light rail service). While there are a limited number of vacant parcels within the identified M-1-S Sub-area, a large number of properties are either underutilized or have existing structures which could potentially be suitable for conversion to shelter use. The Sub-area encompasses 53 parcels with an average lot size of approximately 33,000 sq. ft (0.75 acres).
The emergency shelter by-right area is shown on Figure B-1. Emergency shelters in other locations will still approval of a conditional use permit in accordance with Title 21 of the Campbell Municipal Code.
Figure B-1: Emergency Shelters as a Permitted Use
As discussed in the Homeless section of the Housing Needs Assessment, the 2013 Santa Clara Homeless Survey identified 91 homeless people in Campbell and there are currently no homeless shelters in the City. Pursuant to SB 2, jurisdictions with an unmet need for emergency shelters are now required to identify a zone(s) where emergency shelters will be allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use permit or other discretionary permit. The identified zone must have sufficient capacity to accommodate the shelter need, and at a minimum provide capacity for at least one year-round shelter.
Permit processing, development and management standards for emergency shelters must be objective and facilitate the development of, or conversion to, emergency shelters.
Based on the 2013 estimate of Campbell’s homeless population (91 persons), it appears that this area is suitable for this purpose and of adequate size to provide sufficient opportunities to meet this requirement. This area is depicted in Figure B-1.

Section 21.36.085 of the Municipal Code establishes the standards for emergency shelters. The development standards in the Emergency Shelter Sub-Area are the same as for all other development in the M-1 Zone. The operational standards for emergency shelters are outline below.
Maximum number of beds. Shall be based upon the number of homeless persons identified in the current Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey (the 2013 Homeless Census identified ninety-one homeless persons in the City).
On-site parking. The shelter shall provide for one (1 ) parking space for each three (3) beds.
Parking modifications, authorized by Section 21.28.050 of the Zoning Code, are routinely used to reduce the parking requirements for affordable housing, high density residential, and mixed use projects. There are no restrictions on the types of land uses , including emergency shelters, that are eligible to receive parking modifications. Waiting and intake area. The shelter shall provide a private area to receive clients for waiting and intake.
Length of stay. Residents may stay for thirty days. Extensions up to a total of one hundred eighty (180) days may be provided by the on-site manager if no alternative housing is available. Lighting. The shelter shall have adequate outdoor lighting for security purposes. Security. On-site security and security cameras shall be provided. On-site management. The shelter shall provide 24-hour, professional on-site management pursuant to a Management and Operation Plan approved by the City.
Single Room Occupancy (SRO)
Single Room Occupancy facilities are defined as “ a residential facility providing dwelling units where each unit has a minimum floor area of 150 square feet and a maximum floor area of 220 square feet, and are rented to a one- or two-person household. These dwelling units may have kitchen or bathroom facilities, and are provided for a weekly or monthly period of time, in exchange for an agreed payment of a fixed amount of money or other compensation based on the period of occupancy.” SRO’s can provide an entry point into the housing market for extremely low income individuals, formerly homeless and disabled persons. Campbell has reviewed the City’s zoning districts and determined that a portion of the R-3 zone is the most conducive to provision of SROs, either through new development or reuse of an existing building.
The City intends to conditionally allow SRO’s in the R -3-S Multiple-Family Zone. This zoning district is the City’s highest density residential zone and allows development up to 27 dwelling units per gross acre. This zoning district is distributed in areas throughout Campbell with the largest single area concentrated along Union Avenue on the eastern side of Campbell, in proximity to South Bascom Avenue. There are 92 parcels in the R-3 zone, with an average lot size of 48,000 sq. ft (1.1 acres), providing sufficient sites for SRO use.

Farm Employee Housing
The Census identifies fewer than one hundred Campbell residents employed in farming, fishing and forestry occupations, representing less than one percent of the City’s labor force. No parcels in the City remain in agricultural use. Therefore, given the extremely limited presence of farmworkers in the community, the City has not identified a need for specialized farmworker housing beyond overall programs for housing affordability.
Accessibility Accommodations
Both the federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act impose an affirmative duty on local governments to make reasonable accommodations (i.e. modifications or exceptions) in their zoning and other land use regulations when such accommodations may be necessary to afford disabled persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. For example, it may be a reasonable accommodation to allow covered ramps in the setbacks of properties that have already been developed to accommodate residents with mobility impairments.
It is the policy of the City of Campbell to provide reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities seeking fair access to housing in the application of its zoning laws. In furtherance of this policy, Chapter 21.50 of the Zoning Code sets forth the process for making a request for reasonable accommodation. Campbell’s process and findings for reasonable accommodation can be summarized as follows:
The applicant is provided a form to identify the Zoning Code provision, regulation or policy from which accommodation is being requested, and to provide the basis for the claim and why the accommodation is necessary.
The Community Development Director serves as the reviewing body for the request, unless the project for which the request is being made requires some other discretionary and use permit or approval.
The following factors are considered in determining the reasonableness of a requested accommodation:
Special need created by the disability;
Potential benefit that can be accomplished by the requested modification; Potential impact on surrounding uses;
Physical attributes of the property and structures;
Alternative accommodations which may provide an equivalent level of benefit; In the case of a determination involving a single-family dwelling, whether the household would be considered a single housekeeping unit if it were not using special services that are required because of the disabilities of the residents. Whether the requested accommodation would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the city
The factors for consideration of a reasonable accommodation request do not serve as deterrents to housing accessibility. The “potential benefit” factor is a standard finding that is a restatement of the

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 18
City’s policy that the granting of a reasonable accommodation is a benefit by definition as it facilitates providing fair access to housing. The “potential impact on surrounding uses” factor can be addressed, to the extent necessary, by evaluating alternative approaches to addressing the accessibility needs of the disabled to minimize the potential impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Since adoption of the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance in 2004, the City has had one request for a modification. The request involved a new market rate development which incorporated three affordable units pursuant to the City’s inclusionary requirements. An income eligible applicant for one of the affordable units was physically disabled. The City approved the modification request through a ministerial process, and in addition provided funding to retrofit the affordable unit – including lowered countertops and a fully accessible bathroom.
D. Development Permit Procedures
The processing time needed to obtain development permits and required approvals varies depending on the scope of the project. Smaller projects typically require less time and larger projects more time.
The City strives to keep its permit procedures streamlined and processing times minimal. The Planning Division is the lead agency in processing residential development applications and coordinates the processing of those applications with other City departments such as the Public Works Department and the Building Division of the Community Development Department.
Multi-family and Mixed-Use residential projects typically require some type of discretionary action.
Projects with Planned Development (P-D) zoning designation require a P-D permit from the Planning Commission and City Council. Processing times for a P-D project take typically four to six months. This provision for P-D approvals is not a constraint on projects because the project usually requires other entitlements such as a parking adjustment, deviation from other development standards and/or subdivision map that would require public hearings. The requirement for a P-D approval for multi- family projects or mixed-use projects in P-D zoning districts allows for a case by case approach that can achieve maximum flexibility.
As residential neighborhoods in Campbell are nearly built-out, the majority of new residential development has been accommodated through mixed-use projects within the P-D Zoning District. The P-D mechanism allows for deviations in minimum lot size, lot coverage, building setbacks and building height standards.
Development certainty and predictability are provided through the General Plan, which clearly defines development scenarios for all areas zoned P-D. The General Plan Land Use Element provides for specific development types such as Central Commercial, Professional Office/Retail/Residential and describes mixed-use development as the preferred development type. These areas are described by the General Plan as follows:
Central Commercial: This designation includes parts of Campbell and Winchester Avenues in Downtown Campbell and is intended to provide shopping, services and entertainment. It requires that the building forms in this designation edge the street, and should include retail commercial uses on the ground floor with either office or residential uses on the second and third floors.
10.c
Packet Pg. 193
Attachment: Campbell Housing 2015-2023 Housing Element (Campbell's Plan for Housing - Policies and Programs) City of Campbell
2015-2023 Housing Element
Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 19
Low-Medium Density Residential and/or Professional Office: This designation occurs primarily near Downtown, where there is a need for office uses to buffer the single family homes from commercial impacts. Many parcels have homes that are on the Historic Inventory.
Medium to High Density Residential and/or Commercial: This designation occurs near the Downtown in the South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA), where the General Plan identifies parcels for commercial or mixed use, promoting commercial on the ground floor, and residential uses above.
Residential/ Commercial/Professional Office: This designation includes many areas in the City including the North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA), where the intention is to provide a residential component to traditional commercial and/or professional office uses. This designation also maintains commercial and office uses on the ground floor and residential uses on the upper floors.
Development standards are derived by two different sources for properties within the P-D zone. If the site is located in a Master Plan or Specific Plan area (e.g. for 11 of 17 opportunity sites) the development standards of the Master Plan are used as the starting point for the design and review of the P-D project.
These Plans include the East Campbell Avenue Master Plan, the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan, and the South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) and North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA) Area Plans. In areas where there is no Master Plan for an area (e.g. for 11 of 17 opportunity sites) development standards for the underlying zoning district are used. For example, projects in the Hamilton/STEX Area are evaluated using development standards of R-3, while those in the West Campbell Avenue Area use development standards of R-M, R-2, and R-3 Zones, depending on the site. Each of these zones has clear development standards that can be used while developing the project design.
However, because of the sufficient flexibility built into the P-D zone to resolve any project design challenges, the P-D zoning designation requires that specific findings be made, which focus on the exemplary architecture and high quality physical project design rather than simply the land use, and density or other numeric criteria. The review and approval of a P-D project are based upon considerations relating to site circulation, traffic congestion, and traffic safety; considerations related to landscaping; and considerations relating to structure and site lay-out.
These findings have allowed for a long track record of successful mixed-use projects including the Gateway mixed use (25 du/acre); Water Tower Lofts (27 du/acre); Onyx (27 du/acre); Campbell Center (26 du/acre); Gilman Cottages (27 du/acre); Creekside Commons (27 du/acre with a density bonus); and Merrill Gardens (34 du/acre with density bonus). These projects have all been approved by the City in a timely fashion (4 to 6 months typically) without impacting project feasibility.
Campbell’s development process can be summarized in the following seven steps. All of these steps may not be necessary depending on the nature of a project. The first four steps in the development process are commonly referred to as the planning process, ending with project approval. Project construction and occupancy is addressed in the final three steps. The typical lengths of time for the planning process are shown in Table B-6.

Preliminary Application: The preliminary application process is offered at minimal cost to applicants. The submitted plans are routed to all the applicable departments of the Development Review Committee for review and comment. The Development Review Committee consists of representatives from City Departments and the County Fire Department. Approximately three weeks after the application is submitted, the applicant is invited to meet with staff from the various departments to go over the comments, discuss any particular concerns, and explain any special requirements of the projects. This process can save developers time and money by addressing potential concerns at an early stage thereby avoiding delays later in the process.
Application Submittal: The planning application submittal process is when a developer submits a development application, required fees, and application materials.
Plan Review: After the application is received, it is routed through the Development Review Committee. A planner is assigned to serve as the developer’s l iaison helping to expedite the permit process and coordinating the department reviews. Individual departments assess the completeness of the application and prepare preliminary Conditions of Approval. A review of the environmental issues associated with the proposed project (as required by the California Environmental Quality Act) will also be completed at this time.
Planning Commission/City Council Approval: If a project is determined to require discretionary action, it will be scheduled for the Site and Architectural Review Committee (if necessary) and Planning Commission meetings. Public Notice will be provided and all property owners within 300 feet of the project site will be notified by mail. In some instances (for example, Planned Development Permits), the project will require City Council approval. After projects receive approval by the Planning Commission there is a ten-day appeal period during which the project may be appealed to the City Council. The City Council decision is final.
Plan Check: After the project receives any required approvals, the full plans may be submitted to the building division for plan check for building permits. The plans will be routed to the City’s Public Works Department and Planning Division. The project planner will review the plans for conformance with the Zoning Code, any required Conditions of Approval, and with the plans approved by the Planning Commission or City Council. The building division will verify that all building, fire, mechanical, plumbing and electrical code requirements are fulfilled in compliance with the Uniform Building Code and other State requirements.
Building Permit: After the project plans receive approval from the relevant departments, the building division issues a building permit. Construction can begin after this point. Regular inspections are required throughout the construction process. The final inspection requires clearance from all relevant City departments and the County Fire Department.

Occupancy Permit: Once the final inspection is complete, the developer needs to secure an occupancy permit. If park impact fees are required, the remaining balance must be paid at this time. Buildings or structures cannot be used or occupied until the Building Official has issued a certificate of occupancy. The Table below shows the average processing time for typical residential development applications.

E. Fees and Exactions
The City of Campbell collects various fees from developments to cover the costs of processing permits and providing the necessary services and infrastructure related to new development projects. Fees levied by the City are comparable to those charged in surrounding communities and thus not considered a constraint to housing development. Table B- 7 below summarizes the planning and development fees collected by the City.

As a means of assessing the cost that fees contribute to development in Campbell, the City has calculated the total Planning, Building, Public Works, and Non-City Agency fees associated with d
evelopment of two different residential prototypes. The first prototype consists of two new single family residences, with parcel map on a lot with an existing single family residence. The building permit

related costs are based upon an estimated construction valuation of approximately $255,000 for a 1,900 square foot single family residence with a 400 square foot garage. The second prototype is a new four unit multi-family project. The construction valuation for the four-plex is estimated to be approximately $351,000 for four 800-square feet units. The building permit associated fees used in this evaluation were based upon recent building permits issued by the City of Campbell.

As indicated in Table B-8, average development fees for the prototypical single-family in-fill project was approximately $35,978 per unit while the cost for a small multi-family attached residential project was approximately $20,038 per unit. In 2008, a similar case study analysis indicated that the typical costs were about $32,000 and $24,000 per unit, respectively.
F. Building Codes and Enforcement
The City of Campbell has adopted the International Building Code of 2013, as amended by California’s State Building Regulations (Title 24), which establishes standards and requires inspections at various stages of construction to ensure code compliance. The City’s building code also requires new residential construction to comply with the federal American with Disabilities Act (ADA), which specifies a minimum percentage of dwelling units in new developments that must be fully accessible to the physically disabled. Although these standards and the time required for inspections increase housing production costs and may impact the viability of rehabilitation of older properties which are required to be brought up to current code standards, the intent of the codes is to provide structurally sound, safe, and energy-efficient housing.
The City administers a Code Enforcement Program that aims to preserve and maintain the livability and quality of neighborhoods. Code enforcement staff investigates violations of property maintenance standards as defined in the Municipal Code as well as other complaints. When violations are identified or cited, staff encourages property owners to seek assistance through the rehabilitation assistance programs offered by Campbell or by the County of Santa Clara.
G. Site Improvements
Developers of single-family residential tracts in the City are required to improve arterial and local streets; curbs, gutters, sidewalks; water lines; sewer; street lighting; and trees in the public right- of- way within and adjacent to a tract. These capital improvements are in most cases dedicated to the City or other agencies that are responsible for maintenance. Without improvement requirements, there are no other means of providing necessary infrastructure. Requirements for site improvements are at a level necessary to meet the City's costs and are necessary to protect health, safety, and welfare. The cost of these required improvements vary upon the width of property frontage. The developed portions of Campbell are already improved with necessary infrastructure, such as streets, electrical and water facilities. Depending on the project and the condition of the existing infrastructure, some projects may see a reduction in some site improvement costs. This reduction can help make some projects more affordable.
The Circulation Element of the City of Campbell’s General Plan establishes the City’s street width standards. Residential streets are required to have a standard 40 foot curb- to-curb width, with park strips and sidewalks. The City does allow reduced 36 foot street widths, although due to the impact on fire truck access, reduced street widths trigger fire sprinkler requirements in single-family homes. Most projects utilize private streets where the site constraints determine the specific street design.
The City has also allowed rolled curbs in situations where there is a reduced parkway/sidewalk width as a means of facilitating handicapped access for persons using the sidewalk. An example is the San

Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 25
Tomas Area, a 1.5 square mile area in the southwest of the City governed by the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan. This Plan requires rolled curbs and no sidewalks on minor streets to create a semi- rural atmosphere, resulting in a reduced cost for off-site improvements.
3. Availability of Public Facilities and Services
As an urbanized community, Campbell has in place the necessary infrastructure to support additional residential development. All land designated for residential or mixed-use are served by sewer and water lines, streets, storm drains, telephone, electrical and gas lines. Public water supplies are provided by the San Jose Water Company and public sewer is provided by the West Valley Sanitation District. Natural gas and electricity is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Pursuant to the 2001 General Plan Environmental Impact Report, there is adequate water and sewer capacity to serve future development. To ensure the availability and adequacy of public facilities and services for future development, the City, along with other providers of public services (e.g., water and sewer), will continue to carry out regular infrastructure improvements and upgrading.
4. Environmental Constraints
Environmental constraints and hazards affect, in varying degrees, existing and future residential developments in Campbell. Discussed below are the major environmental hazards in the City. (More detailed discussion of environmental safety issues is provided in the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan)
A. Geologic and Seismic Hazards
Campbell is subject to the effects of earthquakes due to its location at the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates. The movement of these plates leads to the accumulation of strain energy in the crustal rocks of the Bay Area. The release of strain energy by the sudden movement of a fault creates earthquakes. Several active faults in the Bay Area region create a high likelihood of future seismic events affecting Campbell. In particular, the San Andreas Fault, the Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault and the Calaveras Fault pose the greatest earthquake threat because they have high quake odds and run through the Santa Clara Valley region’s urban core.
Within Campbell, earthquake damage to structures can be caused by ground rupture, near-field effects, liquefaction and ground shaking. Damage associated with ground rupture is normally confined to roads, buildings and utilities within a narrow band along a fault. The primary earthquake hazards are ground shaking (acceleration of surface material) and liquefaction (sudden loss of soil strength due to the upward migration of groundwater as a result of ground shaking). Liquefaction in Campbell is most likely to occur in areas with fine-grained alluvial soils.
Unreinforced masonry buildings are extremely susceptible to ground shaking. The 1989 City Unreinforced Masonry Ordinance identified ten potentially hazardous buildings identified in the City.
All of these buildings are non-residential structures.

2015-2023 Housing Element
Appendix B: Housing Constraints Page B 26
B. Fire Hazards
Campbell may be affected by brush and structural fires that can threaten life and property. Brush fires may occur due to natural or human causes on vacant lots where accumulation of weeds has increased the fuel load. Structure fires are most likely in buildings constructed prior to the advent of modern building codes, which comprise an increasingly smaller share of fire activity in Campbell. Most new buildings are equipped with fire protection features such as alarm systems and sprinklers. Campbell is not located in or immediately adjacent to areas subject to the hazards associated with wild land fires.
C. Flood Hazards
A flood is a temporary increase in water flow that overtops the banks of a river, stream, or drainage channel to inundate adjacent areas not normally covered by water. Only a very small portion of Campbell is subject to flooding, according to maps issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Although natural factors such as overgrown brush and trees in creek channels can obstruct water flow and increase flood damage, development poses the highest potential to increase the magnitude and frequency of flooding. Campbell is primarily a suburban community with few undeveloped areas where storm water can percolate into the ground. Additional paving will further reduce infiltration and increase surface runoff. Localized flooding may also occur in low spots or where infrastructure is unable to accommodate peak flows during a storm event. In most cases, localized flooding dissipates quickly after heavy rain ceases. Many streets in the San Tomas neighborhood annexed into the City in the 1970s have a rural character with no curb, gutter or paving, which precludes installation of storm drain facilities. Although some nuisance flooding results, the City anticipates preserving the rural character of the area. No opportunity sites are located within the San Tomas neighborhood.
D. Impact of Environmental Constraints on Development
In summary, while Campbell is subject to the environmental constraints described above, the City’s General Plan Health and Safety Element sets forth a series of actions to minimize these constraints.
Campbell incorporates this knowledge of safety hazards into its land use planning and development review processes.
The residential opportunity sites identified in the Housing Element were all evaluated for their suitability for housing as part of the environmental impact report (EIR) on the City’s 2001 General Plan.
The EIR concluded that all the opportunity sites – many of which were newly designated for mixed use under the General Plan – were suitable for residential use and their development would not result in a significant environmental impact. Campbell’s General Plan EIR is a program EIR which is based on the concept of “tiering”, which means that as project proposals are made on specific sites, the need for additional environmental analysis will be determined. If a proposed project has the potential for impacts which exceed those discussed in the General Plan EIR, additional environmental analysis will be required at that time.

APPENDIX C. HOUSING ACCOMPLISHMENTS
This section of the Housing Element discusses the characteristics of the City’s population and housing stock as a means of better understanding the nature and extent of unmet housing needs. Appendix C, the Housing Needs Assessment is comprised of the following components: (1) Evaluation of the Accomplishments under the Adopted Housing Element; and (2) Summary of the Quantified Objectives.
In order to develop an effective housing strategy for the 20 15 to 20 23 planning period, the City must assess the achievements of the existing housing programs. This assessment allows the City to determine the effectiveness and continued appropriateness of the existing programs and make necessary adjustments for the next eight years.
1. Evaluation of Accomplishments under the Adopted Housing Element
Under State Housing Element law, communities are required to assess the achievements under their adopted housing programs as part of the update to their housing elements. These results should be quantified where possible (e.g. the number of units that were rehabilitated), but may be qualitative where necessary (e.g. mitigation of governmental constraints). The results should then be compared with what was projected or planned in the earlier element. Where significant shortfalls exist between what was planned and what was achieved, the reasons for such differences must be discussed.
A. Housing Element Goals and Policies
Campbell’s last Housing Element was adopted on August 27, 2009, and contained six goals that provided a foundation for a series of housing programs. The goals and related policies from the 2009 —2014 Campbell Housing Element are as follows.
Goal H-1: Maintain and enhance the quality of existing housing and residential neighborhoods in Campbell.
Policy H-1.1 Property Maintenance: Encourage property owners to maintain properties in sound condition through the City’s residential rehabilitation assistance programs and code enforcement efforts.
Policy H-1.2: Acquisition and Rehabilitation: Strengthen multi-family neighborhoods through partnership with non-profit housing providers in the acquisition and rehabilitation of older residential structures, and maintenance as long-term affordable housing.
Goal H-2: Improve housing affordability for both renters and homeowners in Campbell. 1 Policy H-2.1: Preservation of Affordable Housing: Work with property owners, tenants and non-profit purchasers to facilitate the preservation of assisted rental housing.
1 There was no Policy H-2.4 in the 2009-2014 Element. Policy H-2.4 was originally included in the 2001 Housing Element but was not carried over into the 2009 document. The original numbering has been retained in this Appendix for continuity purposes.

B. Housing Element Implementation Program Accomplishment s
This section reviews the progress in implementing the housing programs since 2009, and their continued appropriateness for the 2015-2023 Housing Element. Table C- 1 summarizes the City’s housing program accomplishments since 2009 through 2013 and assesses the appropriateness of continuing the program.
Table C-1: Review of Accomplishments under 2009 - 2014 Housing Element Policy H-1.1: Property Maintenance.
Encourage property owners to maintain properties in sound condition through the City’s residential rehabilitation assistance programs and code enforcement efforts.
Program Accomplishments
H-1.1a Housing Rehabilitation Loan
Program
Action: Provide financial assistance to
owners of single -family homes and mobile
homes who lack sufficient resources to
make needed health and safety repairs.
Assist 50 households over the 2009 -2014
time period (10 extremely low, 35 very low,
and 5 low income households).
Progress: Between 2009-2012, the City assisted a total 61 households for either rehab loans or repair grants. Beginning in mid-2012, the County of Santa Clara took on these responsibilities. No information is available concerning the County’s subsequent implementation of these programs.
Effectiveness: During its operation the City met overall housing rehabilitation and repair goals (approximately half way through the Housing Element cycle, approximately half the number of loans and grants had been issued). The programs are and have been effective in addressing health and safety repairs as well as some cosmetic repairs.
Appropriateness: Given the ongoing need to maintain the City’s aging housing stock, the need for these programs remains highly appropriate. However, the transfer of the program to the County means that fewer loans and grants may be available to City residents.
H-1.1b Emergency Home Repair Grant
Program
Action: Assist lower -income families and
seniors in making repairs to correct urgent
safety or health problems. A ssist 50
households over the 2009-2014 time period
(35 extremely low and 15 very low income
households).
H-1.1c Code Enforcement Program
Action: Ensure ongoing maintenance of
housing stock. Continue to implement
current program, and establish annual goal
for units that could qualify for rehabilitation
assistance.
Progress: The City continues to maintain a Code Enforcement Program to ensure compliance with local land use and housing requirements. The current program relies on both proactive field surveys and reactive responses to public complaints. Between 2010 and 2013, the City’s Code Enforcement Program did an average of 127 inspections per year (no information was available for 2009).
Effectiveness: The Program has been effective at addressing housing condition issues.
Appropriateness: The Program remains appropriate for the upcoming period.

Policy H-1.2: Acquisition and Rehabilitation
Strengthen multi-family neighborhoods through partnership with non -profit housing providers in the acquisition and rehabilitation of older residential structures, and maintenance as long -term affordable housing.
Program Accomplishments
H-1.2a Multi -Family Acquisition and
Rehabilitation
Action: Assist non -profit housing
corporations in identifying and acquiring
deteriorating properties in need of
rehabilitation. Provide financial assistance
in acquisition and rehabilitation of targeted
properties.
Progress: No requests for financial assistance for Multi -Family Acquisition and Rehabilitation were made to the City. No set -aside funds were used in this period for this program. Due to the elimination of RDA in 2012, no funds are currently available for this program.
Effectiveness: No new acquisition/rehab projects were identified in the prior reporting period.
Appropriateness: The program remains appropriate. However the loss of RDA set aside funds leaves the program without a specified funding source. If this program is continued in the future, the lack of identified local funding source(s) represents an obstacle to meeting this goal.
Policy H-2.1: Preservation of Affordable Housing
Work with property owners, tenants and non-profit purchasers to facilitate the preservation of assisted rental housing.
Program Accomplishments
H-2.1a Preservation of Assisted Housing
Action: Preserve 390 rental units at -risk of
conversion. Monitor at -risk units,
participate in preservation, conduct tenant
education and support in location of
alternate housing.
Progress: During the 2009 – 2014 period no affordable rental project was converted to market rate. The City continues to monitor at-risk units through the preparation of an Annual Housing Element Progress Report. Additionally, the City provided technical assistance to San Tomas Gardens and Rincon Gardens by facilitating tax credits to continue providing affordable units. The City provided financial assistance to Sharmon Palms through deferred low-interest, long-term loans to allow them to continue to provide affordable units. The City is currently working with Senior Housing Solutions to transfer ownership of 3 senior residences to Catholic Charities. No set-aside funds were used during this period for this program.
Effectiveness: The program is very successful a t preserving assisted rental housing.
Appropriateness: Preservation of assisted rental housing remains highly appropriate. The Planning Department maintains a list of affordable housing projects, and it will be important for the City to continue to verif y the status of the projects each year. Campbell does not anticipate the loss of any affordable units in the next cycle.

Policy H-2.2: Rental Assistance
Support the provision of rental assistance to lower-income households.
Program Accomplishments
H-2.2a Section 8 Rental Assistance
Action: Continue to provide Section 8 rental
assistance in cooperation with the County
to assist extremely low and very low income
tenants.
Progress: The City encourages landlords to contact the Housing Authority for Section 8 rental assistance. Information on Section 8 rental assistance is available on the City’s website. Housing Authority handouts have also been made available to interested parties.
Effectiveness: The program is very successful in providing needed rental assistance in Campbell.
Appropriateness: The program remains appropriate for the upcoming period.
H-2.2b One-time Rental Assistance
Program
Action: In partnership with Catholic
Charities and Sacred Heart , and
Redevelopment Agency to assist residents
at risk of homelessness by providing one -
time or temporary rental assistance
Progress: During this period, the City provided assistance through set -aside funds to approximately 160 households. During its operation the City met overall housing rehabilitation and repair goals - approximately half way through the Housing Element cycle, half the number of loans and grants had been issued.
However, after the elimination of the Redevelopment Agency and the loss of CDBG funding, program funding has been eliminated.
Effectiveness: The rental assistance program was effective in preventing homelessness from short-term financial difficulties.
Appropriateness: The need for the program remains appropriate for the upcoming Housing Element cycle. However, no funding sources have been identified. If this program is continued in the future, t he lack of identified local funding source(s) represents an obstacle to meeting this goal.
Policy H-2.3: Homeownership Opportunities
Support the provision of homeownership assistance to lower- and moderate-income households.
Program Accomplishments
H-2.3a First Time Homebuyer Program
Action: Assist in expanding home -
ownership opportunities to moderate
income households. Provide financial
assistance to 50 households between 2009
and 2014.
Progress: Between 2009-2013, the City provided 14 loans for this program, prior to dissolution of RDA. The County of Santa Clara Office of Affordable Housing now provides First Time Homebuyer loans to Campbell residents as part of their County-wide program. The First Time Homebuyer Program was advertised on the City’s website, and is still advertised on the City’s website with information directing the public to contact other agencies that can assist with first time home buyer loans.
Effectiveness: The loss of RDA funding limited the effectiveness of this program after 2011.
Appropriateness: The program remains appropriate however the loss of RDA set aside funds leaves the program without a specified funding source. If this program is continued in the future, the lack of identified local funding source(s) represents an obstacle to meeting this goal.

Policy H-2.3: Homeownership Opportunities
Support the provision of homeownership assistance to lower- and moderate-income households.
Program Accomplishments
H-2.3b Mortgage Credit Certificate
Action: Promote the MCC Program through
local realtors, on the City’s website, and
through the City’s Housing Program
brochure.
Progress: The City advertises the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program on the City’s website directing the public to contact their lender. No MCC’s were issued during the period of this Housing Element.
Effectiveness: As long as Congress continues to approve funds for the MCC program, Santa Clara County will be eligible to receive them.
Appropriateness: At $570,000, the maximum purchase prices for existing units under the MCC program could still apply in Campbell (although few new units would fall within the $630,000 maximum purchase price for ne w construction).
While the MCC program remains appropriate, rather than a numeric goal, the City’s objective will be to promote program availability.
H-2.3c Foreclosure Prevention
Action: Promote the availability of
foreclosure counseling services.
Progress: Between 2009-2013, the City provided foreclosure counseling services through Project Sentinel . Property owners were notified through the City newsletter, website and direct mailing.
Effectiveness: This program was very effective in previous Ho using Element cycles, however the loss of RDA funding means that no records were kept regarding this program.
Appropriateness: The program remains appropriate for the upcoming period.
Policy H-2.5: Special Needs Housing
Assist in the provision of housing and supportive services to persons with special needs, including (but not limited to): seniors, single parents with children, persons with disabilities, the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness.
Program Accomplishments
H-2.5a Shared Housing Program
Action: Support provision of shared housing
opportunities offered through outside
agencies. Continue to fund and advertise
program.
Progress: Based on the Great R ecession, no shared housing programs were established for seniors or single-parents.
Effectiveness: The program has been effective and the City anticipate d the continuation of this program through Catholic Charities shared housing program.
Appropriateness: The program remains appropriate for single parent households and seniors. However, there is no funding for this activity and long agency with the resources to provide this service. If this program is continued in the future, the lack of identified local funding source (s) represents an obstacle to the continuation of this program.
H-2.5b Homeless Assistance/ Shelter
Provisions
Action: Coordinate efforts with Silicon
Valley jurisdictions and service providers to
assist the homeless.
Progress: The City continues to refer homeless persons and families needing assistance to organizations that provide these services and continues to participate in regional activities and programs.
Effectiveness: The program has been somewhat effective at bringing homeless persons in contact with support and assistance organizations in the county.
Appropriateness: The 2013 Homeless Census and Survey indicated that there are 91 homeless persons in Campbell. As a result, the program remains appropriate for the upcoming period.

Policy H-3.1: Housing Development
Support the development of additional affordable housing by non -profit and for -profit developers through financial assistance and/or regulatory incentives.
Program Accomplishments
H-3.1a Affordable Housing Development
Action: Grant land write -downs, regulatory
incentives, and/or direct assistance to
support development of affordable housing
for families, seniors and special needs
populations. The City’s Redevelopment
Agency will partner with affordable housing
developers to integrate extremely low
income units into new rental
developments.
Progress: City staff continues to meet with developers for potential affordable housing sites. City provided financial assistance for 511 - 555 W. Campbell Avenue for development of 16 low, and 8 very low affordable units. The elimination of the Redevelopment Agency in 2012 has limited the ability of the City to financially assist in additional affordable housing projects.
Effectiveness: Despite li mited financial resources, the City was successful in facilitating several affordable housing projects through a combination of financial and regulatory tools.
Appropriateness: Providing financial and regulatory support for affordable housing remains critical to addressing the City’s housing needs. Future programs will not have the powers and resources previously utilized by the Redevelopment Agency. If this program is continued in the future, t he lack of identified local funding source(s) represents an obstacle to the continuation of this program.
Policy H-3.2: Inclusionary Housing
Ensure that new residential development in Campbell integrates units affordable to lower - and moderate-income households, or contributes funds to support aff ordable housing activities. Create additional levels of affordability within the Inclusionary Housing ordinance in a way that does not create a governmental constraint to housing production.
Program Accomplishments
H-3.2a Citywide Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance
Action: Amend the Inclusionary Housing
ordinance to provide more flexibility for
targeting lower affordability levels.
Progress: In 2006 t he City adopted an Inclusionary Ordinance requiring 15% affordability citywide. Rental projects are required to provide low and very low income units (Min. 40% very low), and ownership projects are required to provide low and moderate income units. The Ordinance also included provisions for in -lieu fees. The City continues to implement the program. Due to the recession and staff turn-over, the ordinance has not been updated.
Effectiveness: The inclusionary ordinance has been effective in integrating affordable units within market rate developments. Two projects have taken advantage of density bonus incentives in conjunction with fulfilling inclusionary requirements.
Appropriateness: The inclusionary ordinance remains appropriate to continue in the next Housing Element cycle.

Policy H-3.3: Green Building
Encourage the use of sustainable and green building design in new and existing housing.
Program Accomplishments
H-3.3a Green Building
Action: The City is concerned about the
continued availability of all resources for
the development of affordable housing. The
City of Campbell has adopted three Green
policies as recommended by the Santa Clara
County Cities Green Building Collaborative
(GBC), intended to promote climate
protection strategies and regional
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
GBC’s three near term policy
recommendations, adopted by Campbell
include the following:
Recognizing/adopting the LEED and
GreenPoint Rated rating systems as a
standard for green building
evaluation;
Completion of the “Green Checklist”
as part of development applications,
including remodels over 500 square
feet; and
LEED Silver certification for all new or
renovated municipal buildings over
5,000 square feet.
Progress: The City implements these requirements as part of the planning/entitlement and building permit phases and requires the completion of the “green checklist” for retrofits and new development.
In 2010, additional green building measures were added to the City’s Green Building Ordinance including requiring CalGreen mandatory on all residential units, and on all non -residential remodels and tenant imp rovements meeting particular conditions. The City also provided the Green Building requirements on the City’s website.
In February 2014, the City adopted the California Green Building Code Standards to ensure that new develop ment follows the State requirements to promote green buildings.
Effectiveness: The Program has resulted in new residential projects being built to a “greener” standard.
Appropriateness: The Program remains appropriate for the upcoming Housing Element cycle.

Policy H-4.1: Residential Sites
Assist developers in identifying sites suitable for residential and mixed use development, and facilitate development through the provision of financial and regulatory incentives, as appropriate.
Program Accomplishments
H-4.1a Housing Opportunity Sites
Action: As part of the update to the Housing
Element, a parcel-specific analysis of vacant
and underutilized sites was conducted to
identify Opportunity Sites for development
within the planning period. The
Opportunity Sites analysis identifies 18 sites
that have adequate capacity to address
Campbell’s 2009 -2014 housing production
goals. In order to specifically encourage and
facilitate development on these
Opportunity Sites, the City will undertake
the following actions:
Contact property owners within the
Opportunity Sites to discuss the City’s
desire to develop housing in these
areas and the availability of financial
and regulatory development
incentives.
Allow for reductions in parking for
properties with in 1/4 mile of a VTA
light rail station.
Post the Housing Element sites
inventory on the City’s website as a
tool for developers, and provide as a
handout at the public counter.
Describe P -D development standards,
derived from applicable Area Plans and
comparable zoning districts, in sites
inventory to provide greater clarity to
developers.
Update on an annual basis in
conjunction with the General Plan
progress report.
Provide technical assistance to
property owners and developers in
support of lot consolid ation, including
assessor parcel data and information
on density and design incentives.
Assist developers in completing
funding applications in support of
development, and as appropriate,
provide local funds and/or land as
leverage.
Progress: City maintains an active list of opportunity sites, contacts property owners, promotes sites on the City’s website, and updates sites as needed. The City has consistently implemented the majority of these provisions into Campbell’s development review and public information processes.
There are two provisions that have not been consistently implemented area the General Plan program report , which were not prepared in a timely manner in recent years due to budget cuts and staff turnover, and providing local funds for development as a result of the loss of the Redevelopment Agency in 2012.
The loss of Redevelopment Agency funding combined with the effects of the Great Recession significantly reduced the ability of the City to provide financial support to residential projects.
Effectiveness: Higher density residential development has occurred (or is currently underway) on five of the 18 Opportunity Site Areas and parking two parking reductions were approved. These projects resulted in the development of 31 ad ditional affordable units. The Planned Development (P -D) Zone continues to facilitate flexible development that accommodates higher density residential development.
Appropriateness: Many of these activities continue to be appropriate during the upcoming Housing element cycle.

Policy H-4.2: Mixed-Use Development
Promote mixed-use development where housing is located near jobs, services, shopping, schools, and public transportation.
Program Accomplishments
H-4.2a Mixed-Use Development
Action: The City will ensure that residential
development is included in the mixed -use
projects on opportunity sites in order to
address RHNA goals. Mixed -use
development will be located next to
sidewalks or landscape setback areas
adjacent to the public street to enhance
visibility, pedestrian access and interaction
with the commercial uses. The maximum
floor area ratios (FAR) are contained in
specific land use policies within each Area
or Specific Plan. Residential densities are
not counted against the allowable FAR.
Progress: The City has also implemented mixed use development principles in several projects approved during the 2009 -2014 Housing Element Cycle. The Merrill Gardens senior housing development , Bay West , and Riverside Plaza projects all contained both commercial and residential uses in a mixed use context.
Additionally, the parking ordinance was amended in 2011 to accommodate shared parking between commercial and residential uses to accommodate the parking needs for mixed-use developments.
Effectiveness: Four of the five higher density projects on the 18 Opportunity Site Areas incorporated mixed use principles into their designs. (The single Opportunity Site project, a small lot single family in -fill project, was not located in an area where a mixed use development was viable or appropriate.) This program has been very effective in encouraging mixed-use development.
Appropriateness: This action statement is still appropriate to facilitate mixed - use projects.
Policy H-4.3: Planned For Densities
Encourage the efficient and sustainable use of land through residential development near existing light rail stations (within 1/4 mile radius) and/or within the boundaries of the Winchester Boulevard Plan and East Campbell Avenue plan areas, to achieve at least 75 percent of the maximum General Plan Land Use category densities.
Program Accomplishments
H-4.3a Planned for Densities
Action: To encourage the efficient and
sustainable use of land, the City encourages
residential development that is proposed
near existing light rail stations (within 1/4
mile radius) and/or within the boundaries
of the Winchester Boulevard Plan and East
Campbell Avenue plan areas, to achieve at
least 75 percent of the maximum General
Plan Land Use category densities. The City
will review development proposals to strive
to achieve the “planned for” densities.
Progress: City staff has been active to inform developers to develop at the higher end of permitted densities. The Planning Department informs applicants of Council policy that projects need to be constructed with a density at least 75% of the maximum allowable density.
Effectiveness: The policy has been effective at obtaining higher residential densities in recently projects.
Appropriateness: This policy is effective at creating higher density projects with more dwelling units and should be continued.

Policy H-5.1: Regulatory Incentives
Provide regulatory and/or financial incentives where appropriate to offset or reduce the costs of affordable housing development, including density bonuses and flexibility in site development standards.
Program Accomplishments
H-5.1a Density Bonus
Action: Continue to offer density bonus
and/or other regulatory incentives/
concessions to facilitate affordable and
senior housing; advertise program
availability. In compliance with current
State law, the City offers density bonuses
and regulatory incentives/ c oncessions to
developers of affordable and/or senior
housing in all residential zones. Applicants
of residential projects of five or more units
may apply for a density bonus and
additional development incentive(s) if the
project provides for one of the following:
10 percent of the total units for lower
income households; or
5 percent of the total units for very low
income households; or
A senior citizen housing development
or mobile home park that limits
residency based on age requirements
for housing for older persons; or
10 percent of the total dwelling units in
a condominium for moderate income
households.
Progress: In 2008, the Density Bonus Ordinance was updated to be consistent with state law. The City includes information on the City’s website regarding density bonus program. During the planning period, the Merrill Gardens and Bay West projects were granted affordable housing density bonuses.
Effectiveness: The City advertises the availability of density bonus incentives on its website, and provides information to prospective residential applicants.
Appropriateness: Based upon local experience, density bonuses offer a means of offsetting the cost of providing additional affordable units.
Policy H-5.2: Secondary Dwelling Units
Provide for the infill of modestly priced rental housing by encouraging secondary units in residential neighborhoods
Program Accomplishments
H-5.2a Secondary Dwelling Units
Action: Facilitate the construction of new
second units. The City will facilitate the
construction of new second units by making
information available to the public.
Progress: Between 2009 -2013, nine secondary dwelling unit permits were approved. However, only 4 were constructed and obtained final occupancy certificates. Some of the remaining permits have expired while one is currently in plan check.
Effectiveness: With an average of 2 secondary dwelling unit applications annually, this program has been effective in provided needed rental housing.
Appropriateness: This program should be continued.

Policy H-5.3: Revised Zoning Code
Revise the City’s Zoning Code to clarify provisions for transitional and supportive housing, emergency shelters and Single Room Occupancy (SRO) facilities.
Program Accomplishments
H-5.3a Zoning Text Amendments
Action: Amend Zoning Code as part of the
Governmental Constraints analysis for the
Housing Element update and pursuant to
new requirements under SB 2, several
revisions to the Campbell Zoning Code have
been identified as appropriate to better
facilitate the provision of a variety of
housing types. These zoning revisions
include:
Specifically list manufactured housing
as a permitted use within the R-1 zone,
subject to architectural requirements
within the parameters of State law.
Revise the current zoning definition of
“family” consistent with state and
federal fair housing laws.
Add single room occupancy (SRO)
facilities within the Code’s definition
section, and conditionally allow them
within the R-3-S zone.
Eliminate the CUP and spac ing
requirements for transitional housing
in residential zones.
Identify emergency shelters as a
permitted use in that portion of the M-
1 zone bounded generally by Camden
Avenue, Los Gatos Creek County Park,
Hacienda Avenue and Winchester
Boulevard.
Progress: The City is in the process of amending the Municipal Code to address these issues. City Council adoption of these items is expected in September of 2014, completing this program.
Effectiveness: Amendment the Municipal Code is an effective method to d eal with changes to State Planning and Zoning Law.
Appropriateness: Periodic amendments of the Municipal Code and General Plan to comply with changes in legal requirements are expected to continue.
Policy H-6.1: Fair Housing
Support the provision of fair housing services.
Program Accomplishments
H-6.1a Fair Housing Program
Action: Through the County, continue to
financially support Project Sentinel and
promote the organization’s fair housing
services through dissemination of
brochures.
Progress: The City continues to refer Fair Housing complaints to Project Sentinel.
Effectiveness: This program has proven to be very effective in educating rental property owners and defending discrimination cases.
Appropriateness: This program is still appropria te and will continue to receive funds from Santa Clara County to provide services to all non -entitlement cities, including Campbell.

Progress: Tenant and landlord conciliations and mediations continue to occur as needed. The City contracts through Project Sentinel to provide assistance in settling disputes/issues between landlord and tenants. The City and Project Sentinel both provide brochures, and the City provides informati on on the City website on how to contact Project Sentinel.
Effectiveness: This program is very effective and has a historic track record of resolving over 90% of cases.
Appropriateness: This service continues to be appropriate and is funded through the City’s business license fees paid by apartment owners.
Policy H-6.3: Housing Accessibility
Address the special needs of persons with disabilities through provision of supportive housing, homeowner accessibility grants, and provision of reasonable accommodation procedures.
Program Accomplishments
H-6.3a Reasonable Accommodation
Action: The City will monitor its reasonable
accommodation procedure for its
effectiveness and potential impacts on
housing for persons with disabilities.
Progress: The City receives less than one request per year (on average). The City annually provides monitoring by submitting the Annual Housing Element progress report.
Effectiveness: This program has resulted in appropriate accommodations in housing for the disabled.

2. Summary of Quantified Objectives
Table C-2 summarizes the quantified objectives contained in Campbell’s 200 9 – 2014 Housing Element, and compares the City’s progress in fulfilling these objectives. This summary is based upon actual building permits from 2009 -2013 with the addition of residential units currently under construction.
As illustrated in Table C-2, based on review of residential building permits issued between January 2009 and December 2012, the City fulfilled 61 percent of its total regional housing construction needs as indicated by RHNA. This is based upon the standard of project building at densities greater than 20 units per acre that are potentially affordable by most income groups. This is demonstrated by the large number of Low Income-affordable housing that was constructed during the period. However, housing production during this period was adversely effected by The Great Recession. In recent years the amount of housing production has increased to pre-recession level.

The City and its Redevelopment Agency facilitated development of several affordable and mixed income projects during the planning period. The City’s Below Market Rate Housin g program resulted in the construction of 32 Very Low Income units. In addition five secondary dwelling units were also constructed and are shown in the Moderate Income category.
Rent levels for second units can be approximated by looking at rents for one-bedroom apartments, which average around $1,725 in Campbell, compared to a low income rent threshold of $1,6 00 for a one- bedroom unit and $2,435 for moderate income households.
In terms of housing rehabilitation, the City provided assistance to 61 single-family homeowners, fulfilling its goal to assist 50 households prior to the loss of the RDA and CDBG funding.

APPENDIX D. INVENTORY OF OPPORTUNITY SITES
1. Introduction
Appendix D contains a detailed opportunity sites analysis of specific sites that has been prepared to demonstrate that an adequate inventory of vacant and underutilized land with appropriate general plan and zoning designations currently exists to meet the City of Campbell’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) requirements . The following table provides a parcel-specific detail ed analysis of the various Opportunity Sites for the City of Campbell , suitable for development within the 20 15-2023 planning period.
2. Local Setting
Campbell is a substantially built out City with very few vacant properties. In the context of this discussion, “built-out” means the existence of a structure or an active use on virtually all properties in Campbell. In addition, many of the currently vacant sites were also once occupied by a structure. Consequently, virtually all new development involves the removal of existing structures and the re-use or redevelopment of a site. This condition has not prevented the development of new housing in Campbell and is the common practice in substantially built-out urban areas.
3. Opportunity Sites
A. Methodology
The identification of potential sites was based upon several criteria. A detailed analysis of potential opportunity site areas was conducted during the preparation of the Housing Element. The focus of the site selection was the need to ensure that the objectives of the Housing Element were integrated with the other elements of the General Plan. The Land Use and Transportation Element of the General Plan has an objective of concentrating new residential development around the existing VTA transit stations and around the downtown (i.e. the designated Priority Development Area) to facilitate the redevelopment of areas with under-utilized sites and/or occupied with obsolete buildings, and to try to reduce traffic impacts. Five of the six Opportunity Site Areas meet this objective. The sixth Opportunity Site Area, the Dot Avenue area was also included since it represents one of the largest vacant residential sites in Campbell.
If this initial screening process had not succeeded in identifying adequate opportunity sites, then other lower priority areas (e.g. more remote to transit, etc.) would have been included. Each of the Opportunity Sites have the appropriate General Plan and Zoning designations to accommodate housing and have access to roads, water, sewer, electricity and/or natural gas, and telecommunication services.
Several opportunity site areas from the 2009-2014 Housing Element were removed from consideration in the 2015-2023 Element. Much of the 2009 Area 2 (West Campbell Avenue), 2009 Area 4 (East Campbell Avenue), and 2009 Area 6a (NOCA) were removed from the list of sites because many of the areas have already been developed with new higher density housing or with revitalized commercial development.
The remaining vacant sites in these areas (NOCA, East Campbell Avenue, and Dot Avenue) are still on the

list of opportunity sites. The northern and central portions of the Winchester Boulevard corridor were also removed since these previously developed sites were more remote from the transit stations and because the City was able to meet its RHNA requirements with higher priority sites located closer to transit.
B. Opportunity Site Areas
Using the criteria discussed above, six Opportunity Site Areas were identified by the City. Most of the Opportunity Sites Areas are located in and around the Priority Development Area and/or are within one- half mile of a VTA Station. Most of th e identified Opportunity Site Areas have a realistic potential for mixed use development and many correspond to actual master or area plan boundaries intended to facilitate the development of mixed use projects. The exceptions are the Bascom Avenue Corridor, Dot Avenue, and West Hamilton Avenue Areas which are grouped geographically . The general locations f or the Opportunity Site Areas are depicted in Figure D-1.
Figure D-1. Opportunity Site Areas
The six general opportunity site areas are described below and summarized in Table D-1.
o Area 1 is the Bascom Avenue Corridor is located near the intersection with E. Hamilton Avenue and includes property along Campisi Way. This area is located in close proximity to the Hamilton VTA Light Rail Station. Number of Sites - 9, Total Area – 5.01 acres, Estimated Residential Yield - 109 units.

o Area 2 consists of the remaining non-residentially developed properties within the North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA) Area Plan. These sites are generally located along Salmar Avenue south of Hamilton Avenue. This area is near the Hamilton VTA Station. Number of Sites 7, Total Area –
8.30 acres, Estimated Residential Yield- 136 units.
o Area 3 is located east of Downtown Campbell and includes both the north and south sides of East Campbell Avenue. This area is within the East Campbell Avenue Master Plan area and is near the Downtown Campbell VTA Station. Number of Sites 13, Total Area – 5.16 acres, Estimated Residential Yield- 116 units.
o Area 4 is southeast of Downtown Campbell along Railway, Dillon and Gilman Avenues in the South of Campbell Avenue (SOCA) Area Plan. This area is near the Downtown Campbell VTA Station.
Number of Sites 81, Total Area – 19.76 acres, Estimated Residential Yield- 419 units.
o Area 5 is along Winchester Boulevard south of El Caminito and Kennedy Avenues within the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan. This area is in close proximity to the Winchester VTA Station.
Number of Sites 14, Total Area –17.34 acres, Estimated Residential Yield - 407 units.
o Area 6 is located at the intersection of Dot and West Campbell Avenue. This area located about ¾ of a mile from the Downtown Campbell and Winchester VTA Stations. Number of Sites 3, Total Area – 2.08 acres, Estimated Residential Yield - 31 units.

4. Inventory of Opportunity Areas & Sites
The inventory of opportunity sites is included in Table D-2. The inventory identifies the location, land use, general plan and zoning designations, and the development potential of each site. Most of the sites are created by the consolidation of adjacent smaller parcels to create suitable-sized development sites. The probable development potential of each site is based upon the size and shape of the consolidated sites.
An explanation of each column label is provided below.
Site ID A unique Housing Element site identification number to facilitate the quick identification of each potential opportunity site.
Address/APN The street address (if available) and the Assessor ’s Parcel Number used by the Santa Clara County Assessor’s Office . Not all parcels have street addresses.
Application Status Description of any existing development entitlement applications. For most sites there is no activity.
Existing Use General land use activity type, as determined by a site inspection.
Building Condition The condition of the building ranging from Poor, Fair to Good. Largely based on the age/life expectancy of the building.
General Plan Designation As shown on the current General Plan Land Use Map.
Zoning As shown on the current City Zoning Map.
Site Size The size of the project site in acres. In most cases lots have not been consolidated into larger areas unless a single ownership is known or a proposal for development has been applied for or approved.
Realistic Units The site size multiplied by the Useable Density. This does not include any units allowed under the local Density Bonus Program.
Useable Density A conservative density estimate based upon the following assumptions:
Minimum Density Assumption: 75% of maximum density based upon the requirements of the Housing Element.
Enhanced Density Assumption: 90% of the maximum density for larger regularly-shaped parcels.
Description/Comments An additional description or information about the site that may be relevant or important in any future development consideration.
Development Standards Floor Area Ratio, density, and building setback standards as determined by the Zoning Ordinance or the Area/Master Plan (as applicable).

While it is the intention of the City to make every effort to encourage and enable the development of housing for all income categories, it is important to note that the unit estimates contained in Appendix D cannot be construed as a g uarantee of actual buildable density. There are a number of factors that will ultimately determine the site density including the following:
The size and shape of the actual project site;
The characteristics of the actual project design;
Site constraints that cannot be determined until specific feasibility and engineering studies have been completed, such as soil stability, slopes, street dedication, frontage requirements, and vehicular access;
Site specific land use compatibility issues; and,
Environmental impact issues and mitigation measures identified during the CEQA compliance process.
The inventory identifies the potential for 1,161 additional units based upon the existing General Plan and Zoning Designations. Of these units, 1,0 08 result from the development of properties that allow residential densities in excess of 20 units per acre and are potentially affordable for all income categories.
A summary of the Opportunity Site Areas is provided in Table D-1 below.
