That’s fk’d up and almost none of it applies to you or anywhere near Campbell.
What they did is a copy/paste job from a couple agencies, like San Francisco, and made code requirements that have nothing to do with where you actually live.
IOW: They are too friggin lazy to do any real work, they want to look intelligent but, the truth is they plagiarized the work of another city and county, with no regard for its efficacy and application of, for and to the community.
What does “Ocean, Bay or Stream” have to do with Campbell?
Most if the items on there have nothing to do with Campbell and many are commercial reauirements.
It wouldn’t surprise me if you were handed the wrong permit requirements.
I am at my brother’s, who does construction, and I’ll show this to him.
He’ll probably say you were handed the wrong requirements.
My mom and dad built my childhood home from the ground up. Outside of concrete and masonry work, they did it all...framing, wiring, drywall, roofing, painting, siding, everything.
No permits, no impact studies, no government intervention whatsoever. He just bought the materials and built it.
Of course, that was rural WV in the 1970’s.
Somehow, the house is still standing and hasn’t burnt to the ground, collapsed, or exploded.
My brother says “Yep” and your architect is suppose to do that, to get you through the permit process.
He had way more to say, which is funny as hell, because he is a Democrat but, talks exactly like a Republican.
He’ll get it one day....
I feel your pain but why aren't the commission members accountable? Are they appointed by your local elected representatives? Are they directly elected?
Don't confuse poor choices made by your fellow Campbellians with unaccountability.
