WHEREAS, on June 11, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Project, at the conclusion of which, the Commission voted 7- 0 to recommend approval to the City Council to approve a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the property into eight residential units and one common lot; and WHEREAS, on July 15, 2025, City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Project during which the City Council invited and considered any, and all verbal and written testimony and evidence offered in favor of and in opposition to the Project.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the City Council hereby finds that the above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference makes them a part hereof.
2. Vesting Tentative Map Findings. Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 66426 and 66428 and SCCC Section 17.05.300(h), the City Council finds and determines that:
A. The Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the City’s General Plan in that the Vesting Tentative Map subdivides the existing 16,893 square-foot Project Site into eight residential units and one common lot, subject to conditions set forth in the Conditions of Vesting Tentative Map Approval, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference.
B. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the City’s General Plan, in that the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map facilitates development of housing stock and construction of ownership housing opportunities for the community; and furthermore complies with General Plan Land Use and Transitional Goals and Polices of the General Plan by redeveloping a low density residential lot from a single family unit to eight single family units, meeting the density allowed and creating additional transition in scale and intensity of use from the existing surrounding Planned Development units.
C. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, in that the Project is compatible with the adjacent uses and the zoning code.
Resolution/ 2303 Gianera Street - Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Page 4 of 5 Rev: 1/9/2024
D. The site is physically suitable for the proposed intensity of development, in that the Project Site is located in an urbanized area and is served by existing utilities and infrastructure.
E. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause serious health problems, in that the proposed residential subdivision will implement Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for operation and maintenance of the building and site improvements and does not propose the use of hazardous materials.
F. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and will not substantially or unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat in that the Project Site is located in an urbanized setting, is a developed site, and the project considered potential environmental impacts as addressed in a Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; G. The design of the subdivision and type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large or use of property within the proposed subdivision in that it is designed to avoid encroachment and conflicts with public easements in the site design.
H. The Tentative Subdivision Map provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities, in that it would allow flexibility in the development standards to maximize the benefits of green building standards for site and building design.
//
//
//
//
//
//
//
3. Based on the findings set forth in this Resolution and the evidence in the Staff Report and such other evidence as received at the public hearings on this matter before the City Council, the City Council hereby approves the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, substantially in the form on file as shown on the attached Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Conditions of Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map Approval, hereby incorporated by this reference.
4. Effective date. This resolution shall become effective immediately.
I HEREBY CERTIFY THE FOREGOING TO BE A TRUE COPY OF A RESOLUTION PASSED

Hazardous materials closure plans are required for businesses that used, handled or stored hazardous materials. While required prior to closing a business this is not always done by the business owner, and therefore should be part of the developer’s due diligence. The hazardous materials closur e plans demonstrate that hazardous materials which were stored, dispensed, handled or used in the facility/business are safely transported, disposed of or reused in a manner that eliminates any threat to public health and environment.
F1. Hazmat Clearance. Prior to any Building Permit Issuance, a Phase II environmental assessment is required to be submitted to CRRD for review. If hazards are present that require site mitigation, cleanup, or management of chemical contaminants in soil, soil vapor, or groundwater a separate permit from one of the regulatory agencies below will be required. The type and extent of contamination on site(s) will govern which of the regulatory agencies noted below can supervise the cleanup: Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC); State Water Resources Control Board; or Santa Clara County, Department of Environmental Health.
If the project intends to contract with a State or County Agency for onsite/offsite environmental remediation activities the following documentation shall be provided to the Fire Prevention & Hazardous Materials Division prior to issuance of a Building Per mit for demolition or grading: Oversight agency case number; and Oversight mangers contact name, phone number.

PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
PR1. This memo assumes the Project is a subdivision and the Quimby Act provisions will apply. The project will generate an estimated 21 residents (2.98 persons/household x 7 units). Based on the Quimby Act standard of 3.0 acres/1000 residents, the amount of public parkland required for this Project to mitigate the impact of the new resident demand is approximately 0.0626 acres. The equivalent fee due in lieu of parkland dedication is therefore $415,716.
PR2. Any in-lieu fees imposed under this Chapter 17.35 shall be due and payable to the City prior to issuance of a building permit for each dwelling unit.
PR3. Final calculations will depend upon the actual number and type of units and the mix of parkland dedicated and remaining fee due, at the discretion of the City.
PR4. Dwelling Unit Tax. A dwelling unit tax (DUT) is also due based on the number of units and additional bedrooms per City Code Chapter 3.15. The Project mix includes 8 three- bedroom units for a total DUT of $200.
PR5. Calculations may change if the number of units change, if any areas do not conform to the Ordinance and City Code Chapter 17.35, and/or if the fee schedule for new residential development fees due in lieu of parkland dedication changes before this Project is deemed complete by Planning.
