Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Jeff Wyatt for
consideration of a Modification (PLN2001-144) to a previously
approved Site and Architectural Review Permit (S 98-17) to allow an
adjustment in parking and a 535 square foot addition to a previously
approved commercial building on property located at 368 E.
Campbell Avenue in the C-3-S (Central Business District) Zoning
District. A Negative Declaration was previously approved for this
project. Tentative City Council Meeting Date: March 5, 2001.

Mr. Geoff I. Bradley, Senior Planner, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the applicant is seeking a Modification to the approved building to allow the
enclosure of a patio area into kitchen space.
· Informed that the approved parking included 14 spaces at grade. With this additional 535
square feet, an additional two spaces or 16 spaces would be required.
· Said that an originally imposed Condition of Approval requiring that a Covenant be filed
that assures a joint alleyway is being modified to require an easement agreement now
rather than later. The applicant has agreed to finalize the alleyway easement prior to the
final occupancy of his building.
· Recommended that the Commission forward a recommendation to Council for approval of
the adjustment in the parking ratio to allow this Modification to the building.
Vice Chair Hernandez presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee report as
follows:
· SARC reviewed this project on January 22, 2002, and was supportive with the added
requirement to inset arches at the rear wall to break it up a bit.
Commissioner Alderete sought clarification on the parking stall sizes. He pointed out that per
the minutes of the original public hearing, the total 14 spaces included eight standard, five
compact and one disabled parking stalls.
Director Sharon Fierro advised that the parking spaces are uni-stalls.
Chairman Francois opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 1.
Mr. Richard Haro, Project Manager, 843 S. McGlincy Lane, Campbell, clarified that all the
spaces are standard with the exception of the one handicapped space.
Commissioner Alderete pointed out that a letter from Mr. Haro indicates that one space would
be removed near the trash enclosure.
