Re:
Remodel of Union Manor Apartments, 351-399 Union Ave., Campbell (PRE2001-13)
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Klein,
Thank you for your preliminary application for the remodel of the front elevation of the apartment
building and associated site improvements at the Union Manor Apartments. The plans were distributed
to the City's Public Works Department, Building Division, Planning Division, and County Fire
Department. Below, please find comments from the Planning Division and the other comments are
attached.
Zonin2
The project site is zoned R-3-S (Multiple-Family Residential). The General Plan designation is
Commercial. The proposed use is consistent with the zoning and general plan designation. The proposed
project will require a Site and Architecture Review Permit, which is approved by the Planning
Commission at a public hearing.
Site Plan
The site plan submitted will need to meet the requirements as stated on the Site and Architectural Permit
checklist.
Parkin!!
If feasible, place the two new parking spaces behind the building instead of in the front yard area. In the
front yard area, the spaces are awkward and difficult to back out of. If they must stay in the front due to
site constraints, revise these two spaces so that they are closer to the existing driveway and do not
remove as much landscaped area.
Landscapin2
As part of the Site and Architectural permit application, the applicant shall submit streetscape, landscape,
and irrigation plans that indicate enhancements to the existing landscaped areas. These landscape and
irrigation plans should be prepared consistent with the Water Efficient Landscape Standards (WELS), the
Tree Preservation Ordinance, and the Public Works Department requirements as atta~hed.
Bundin!! Desi!!nlSite Layout
Please consider the following changes to the Union Avenue building frontage:
1. Introduce an architectural element that adds interest to the streetside elevation. Balconies,
porches, window boxes, and trellises are all items that could be incorporated to the building so
that the front elevation is more attractive.

2. Consider carrying the brick wainscoting further throughout the front elevation. The brick,
currently on sides of the front entry only, would also serve to enhance the front elevation.
These comments are intended as preliminary only. Conditions of Approval from each department will be
developed at the time of the Site and Architectural application.
Thank you for the opportunity to review these plans and for sharing your ideas for the remodel. We look
forward to your application submittal reflecting the recommended changes.
Sincerely,
~ Sh ~ç~

Site modifications include:

parking for two vehicles.
C) Adding flatwork from the new parking area to the existing concrete entry walk.
D) Relocating site lighting to include a standing flood lamp for the new parking area.
E) Re-Iandscaping to include a planting strip between the new parking area and the existing
