Pre-Application - 2000CITY OF CAMPBELL Community Development Department. Current Planning March 15,2000 Mr. Bob Hughes The Building Works 2998 S. Bascom Avenue San Jose, CA 95124 Subject: Pre-application: New office building at 2075 Winchester Blvd PRE 2000-13 Dear Mr. Hughes, Thank you for your preliminary application for a new two-story commercial/office building at 2075 Winchester Boulevard. The plans were distributed to the City's Architectural Advisor, Public Works Department, Building Division, Planning Division, and County Fire Department. The comments ITom the Public Works Department and the County Fire Department are attached. The Building Division did not have any comments at this time. Below, please find comments ITom the Planning Division. Zoning The project site is zoned C-2-S (General Commercial). 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. This Permit is approved by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. Use The existing buildings are approved for commercial, retail, and office uses only. The proposed project provides one parking space per 200 square feet of building floor space, meeting the parking requirement for retail stores or speculative commercial buildings. Since the proposed building will not have disabled access to the second floor, this floor will be restricted to office uses only. Landscaping All applications for development within the C-2-S zoning district are required to provide a minimum often percent of the net site area in landscaping. The landscaping areas should be shown on the site plan. This should include landscaping for the entire site, not just the rear portion. The existing landscaping on site is minimal and needs to be upgraded. Additional requirements include: 1. Continuous landscaped areas along the public street frontages of all developments. This ITontage landscape must comply with the City's Streetscape Standards (included). Since this project will add 70 North First Street. Campbell, California 95008.1423 . TEL 408.866.2140 .

Bob Hughes - 2075 Winchester Blvd PRE 2000-13 Page 2 March 15,2000 33% new square footage to the site, the full Streetscape treatment is required (insofar as possible given the placement of the existing buildings). These Standards require a 10' wide sidewalk with 4' x 4' tree wells adjacent to the curb. The property owner will be required to dedicate the necessary land to the City to incorporate the sidewalk into the public right-of-way. Landscaping behind the sidewalk shall be a minimum of five feet in width, measured at right angles to the street, and exclusive of any parking overhang. Frontage landscaping shall consist of turf, groundcover, shrubs, trees, and boulders in combination to provide attractive screening of paved areas. You are encouraged to contact me to discuss how this request may be implemented on your site. 2. A minimum foUr-foot planter strip shall be provided along abutting property lines. 3. Where the ITontage and perimeter landscaping requirement does not provide the minimum coverage often percent ofthe site area, additional landscaping areas in an amount which makes up the difference shall be provided. 4. Where twenty-five or more parking spaces are provided, an interior landscaping area is required in addition to the perimeter and frontage landscaping areas. The interior landscaping is to be provided at a rate of twenty square feet for each additional uncovered parking space over twenty- five. For the amount of parking provided in the proposed site plan for this project, an additional 720 square feet of interior landscaping would be required. This landscaping should be in the form of tree wells, planting islands, and other landscaping in the parking lot area. Parking While the parking requirement is currently met, the number of parking spaces may decrease when the required landscaping is included in the site plan. Building Design/Site Layout Architectural and site evaluation has been performed by the Planning staff and the City's Architectural Advisor. These are the comments concerning the site plan and the architecture of the proposed buildings. The new plans indicate an exterior stairway and walkway for the second floor of the new building. It is recommended that the exterior stairway and walkway be incorporated into the interior of the building. The plans indicate that access to the rear parking area will be provided via a l2-foot wide driveway. The opening is not wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic and will not be supported by staff. You are requested to redesign the project to provide adequate two-way access to the rear parking lot. The existing buildings were constructed in the 1970's and it appears that the new building has been designed to mirror that style. It is recommended that a more contemporary building design be used - ..- . TI Bob Hughes - 2075 Winchester Blvd PRE 2000-13 Page 3 March 15,2000 and that the existing buildings be remodeled to reflect the new design concept. It is suggested that the new building be incorporated into the floor plan of the existing building. I've attached a copy of similar projects recently approved by the Planning Commission. I hope you find them helpful in . understanding what the Commission expects in terms of architectural design. Screening Any use conducted in a C-2 district shall be effectively screened at the property line ITom any abutting residentially zoned property. The screening required shall include a masonry wall a minimum of six feet in height. Such screening shall also include trees and plants to effectively screen such use ITom the adjoining residentially zoned property. Lighting Any lighting for any use within the C-2 district shall be so arranged and shielded so that light will be reflected away ITom adjacent property in a residential district, and so that there will be no glare which will cause unreasonable annoyance to occupants of properties in such residential district, or otherwise interfere with the public health, safety or welfare. These comments are intended as preliminary only. Additional comments and requirements may be forthcoming.

Bascom Ave. and 2075 S. Winchester Blvd. Mathew, these are onsite issues which I will forward to Planning for their consideration. Thanks, Harold -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Jue Sent: Tuesday, March 14,2000 11:14 AM To: Harold Housley Subject: Comments on 2029 S. Bascom Ave. and 2075 S. Winchester Blvd. Here are my comments. 2029 S. Bascom Avenue: 1. Show signs and pavement markings for car wash and convenience store drive through aisles, respectively. 2075 S. Winchester Blvd.: 1. Recommend against 12' aisle width for two directions of traffic. This will lead to poor circulation especially if new back lot is full. 2. Recommend against parallel parking spaces at parking lot entrance. Existing 90-degree parking provides same number or more spaces, and parallel parking may result in congestion at driveway and onto Winchester Boulevard. 03/14/2000 . T!
