July 7, 2026 - Campbell City Council Meeting

Sage Smoke Shop Business License Revoked After Two Inspections Reveal Flavored Tobacco Sales
The council considered the revocation of the business license for Sage Smoke Shop at 484 West Hamilton Avenue. The business also had its tobacco retailer permit administratively revoked due to no appeal. Evidence presented included two inspections: March 5, 2025, where 959 flavored tobacco items were seized, and January 20, 2026, where officers were offered flavored tobacco for sale. Staff recommended revoking the business license based on multiple grounds, including public nuisance and violation of state law. The council voted to revoke the business license.
City Council Approves Agreements with Six Third-Party Consultants for Building Services
The City Council approved the renewal of agreements with six third-party consultants for plan check and inspection services, aiming to enhance flexibility, support increased housing permit applications (a 9% growth), and utilize specialized inspection services for larger projects. These services are funded by permit fees, not the general fund, and the agreements are for three years.
Council Confirms Lighting and Landscaping District Assessments for FY 2026-27
The council adopted a resolution confirming assessments for the lighting and landscaping district LLA-1 for fiscal year 2026-2027. The total assessments amount to approximately $1.2 million, with no increase in rates compared to the previous fiscal year. This action ensures continued funding for the district's improvements and maintenance.
City Council Continues Hearing on State Housing Law Ordinance, Debates Historic Preservation and Design Standards
The council discussed and ultimately continued the public hearing for an interim ordinance related to Senate Bill 450 and Assembly Bill 1061. This ordinance revises historic resource eligibility, affects two-unit developments and urban lot splits, simplifies subdivision regulations, and eliminates design standards for certain single-family residential zones. Key points of contention included the impact on historic properties (potentially losing protection for 27 properties designated as 'structures of merit'), the need to revise subdivision standards for non-rectangular lots, and the elimination of objective design standards in Santa Anas and Campbell Village neighborhoods. Several council members and a city planner debated the implications of removing these standards and the fairness of regulations. The hearing was continued to a later date to allow staff to incorporate revisions related to objective design standards and driveway setbacks, and to further discuss floor area ratios.
City Council Approves New Job Specification for Full-Time In-House City Attorney
The City Council approved a resolution to adopt a new job specification for the City Attorney position. This is in preparation for the retirement of the current City Attorney, Bill Sulligman, at the end of the year. The new specification reflects the duties of the current in-council counsel model while incorporating expectations for a full-time, in-house attorney. The position will report directly to the City Council and serve as the city's executive leader on legal matters. The council will direct staff during recruitment on whether to focus on broad municipal law expertise or specific specialty areas.
