This chapter establishes the zoning districts applied to property within the city. It also determines how the zoning districts are applied on the zoning map, and provides general permit requirements for development and new land uses, and the zone driven development standards for each of the zoning districts.

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

The city of Campbell shall be divided into appropriate zoning districts that directly correspond to the land use designations outlined in the land use element of the General Plan.

TABLE 2-1
Zoning Districts and General Plan Designations

Notes:

(1)

Several sites are subject to a site-specific overlay as noted with a number on the Land Use Map that reflects the maximum developable gross acres of a property that may be used for residential development. The maximum developable gross acres allowed on a property shall be measured and provided as a single contiguous area on the property.

(2)

Accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, and units developed in accordance with Chapter 21.25 (Two-Unit Housing Developments) are a residential use that are consistent with all residential general plan and zoning designations, and therefore, do not exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which they are located.

(3)

The designation of an area in the single-family zoning district includes establishing a minimum net lot area for new subdivisions, expressed as a suffix to the "R-1" zoning map symbol (e.g., R-1-6). In addition to establishing a minimum net lot area requirement, the suffix applied to areas in the single-family zoning district may also be used to impose specific development standards or land use restrictions.

(4)

The designation of an area in an overlay/combining district shall be expressed as an additional suffix to zoning map symbol (e.g., R-1-6-H, TO-MU-O) where the provisions of the overlay are exercised by a project.

(5)

The minimum net lot area for new subdivisions for properties with an RD zoning designation shall be depicted on the zoning map adopted pursuant to Section 21.04.030 (Zoning map adopted.) and expressed as a suffix to the "RD" zoning map symbol (e.g., RD-20).

(Ord. 2106 § 3 (Exh. B), 2008: Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

(Ord. No. 2252, § 16, 11-19-2019; Ord. No. 2293, § 1(Exh. B), 5-2-2023; Ord. No. 2305, §§ 2—4, 4-16-2024)

The City Council hereby incorporates the City of Campbell zoning map (hereafter referred to as the zoning map) as part of this Zoning Code, which is on file with the community development department.

A.

Inclusion by reference. The zoning map together with all legends, symbols, notations, references, zoning district boundaries, map symbols, and other information on the map have been adopted by the City Council in compliance with State law (Government Code Sections 65800 et seq.) and are hereby incorporated into this zoning code by reference as though they were fully included here.

B.

Zoning district boundaries. The boundaries of the zoning districts established by Section 21.06.010 shall be shown on the zoning map as applicable.

C.

Relationship to General Plan. The zoning map shall implement the General Plan.

D.

Map amendments. Amendments to the zoning map shall follow the process established in Chapter 21.60 (Amendments).

E.

Zoning map interpretation. The zoning map shall be interpreted in compliance with Chapter 21.06 (District Boundaries).

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

Chapters 21.08 through 21.14 determine which land uses are allowed in each zoning district established by Section 21.04.020 (Zoning Districts Established), what permit or approval is required to establish each use, and the basic zone driven development standards that apply to allowed land uses in each zoning district.

All uses that are permitted, or permitted with a conditional use permit are still also subject to all other applicable standards, provisions and requirements set forth elsewhere in this Title, including but not limited to the provisions of Articles 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004).

A.

Pre-zoned areas. The city has pre-zoned all unincorporated areas within the city's sphere of influence.

B.

Effective date of pre-zoning. The zoning shall become effective at the same time that the annexation of the area to the city becomes effective.

(Ord. 2043 § 1(part), 2004; Ord. No. 2293, § 1(Exh. B), 5-2-2023)

Editor's note— Ord. No. 2293, § 1(Exh. B), adopted May 2, 2023, repealed the former § 21.04.050, and § 21.04.060 has been renumbered as § 21.04.050 as set out herein. The former § 21.04.050 pertained to subdistricts and derived from Ord. 2043 § 1(part), adopted 2004.

In cases where city ordinances, policies, policy documents (i.e., area plans, neighborhood plans, master plans), findings, conditions of approval, and other requirements reference a zoning district classification from the previous zoning code, such references shall be interpreted to mean the current zoning district in this zoning code as shown in Table 2-1a (References to Prior Zoning Districts).

(Ord. No. 2293, § 1(Exh. B), 5-2-2023)

A legacy zone is base zoning district, overlay zone, or combining district which was applied to a property prior to June 2, 2023, remains the zoning in effect for the property, but which may not be applied to any additional properties as of June 2, 2023. All rules and regulations of the legacy zone, and any subsequent amendments thereto, continue to apply to the subject property.

(a)

The city has two legacy zoning districts:

(1)

P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District; and

(2)

C-PD (Condominium Planned Development) Zoning District.

(b)

Where a legacy zone is shown on the zoning map, the requirements of that legacy zone as originally applied to a property remain in full force and effect.

(c)

Permitted land uses, development standards, and other provisions that apply within a legacy zone may be amended in compliance with Article 2 (Zoning Districts).
