Final Inspection
Dear Applicant,
The Planning Division provided a list of deficiency items on September 26, 2003, so that you could
obtain a temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Your letter of that same date assured completion of
these items by December 31,2003. It does not appear that much progress has been made in regards to
any of these items. Items identified on September 26, 2003:
1. Parking: Appropriate signing for designation of the disabled parking space.
2. Circulation: Directional pavement markings indicating the southerly driveway as exit
only.
3. Unapproved sign: A small freestanding advertising Copyco needs to be removed or
modified to become an exempt directional sign.
4. Roof grid: The heavy timber roof grid needs to be painted.
5. Public Improvements: Landscaping, sidewalk, driveway and traffic marking
improvements indicating "keep clear zones" and directional driveways have not been
installed.
Additionally, the approved freestanding sign has not been installed consistent with the sign permit
approval and temporary banner signs are installed without a temporary sign permit.
Please contact me at (408) 866-2144 or via e-mail at timh@cityofcampbeII.com, to discuss a schedule
to address these items.
Sincerely...,.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow
the establishment of a coffee shop in approximately 1,560 square feet of within an existing
commercial building located at 1228 Camden Avenue and approval of earlier opening hours of 5
a.m.
Background: The Planning Commission at its meeting of March 25, 2003 adopted Resolution
No. 3480 approving a use permit to allow the establishment of a printing/copy center and a
speculative retail space in an existing commercial building at this location. The existing
commercial building on the project site was previously occupied by Carrow's restaurant and was
approved under a Site and Architectural approval in 1971. The property owner is currently
establishing the printing/copy business at this location.
The applicant, on behalf of Starbuck's Coffee Company, is requesting approval of a Conditional
Use Permit to allow the establishment of the coffee shop use and early operational hours in the
portion of the building previously shown as speculative retail space.
The project site is located at the intersection of Curtner and Camden A venues adjacent to
Highway 17.
ANAL YSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is General
Commercial. The establishment of a coffee house use is consistent with this land use designation.
Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed project complies with the following General Plan Strategies:
Strategy LUT-5.3h: Parking and Circulation: Provide adequate parking and encourage
circulation patterns to serve commercial districts so as to discourage commercial traffic into
adjacent residential zones.
Strategy LUT-9.3d: Building Design: Design buildings to revitalize streets and public spaces
by orienting the building to the street, including human scale details and massing that engages
the pedestrian.
Strategy LUT-9.3e: Building Materials: Encourage the use of long-lasting, high quality
building materials on all buildings to ensure the long-term quality of the built environment.
Strategy LUT-9.3g: Pedestrian Amenities: Incorporate pedestrian amenities such as plazas,
landscaped areas with seating, pedestrian walkways into new developments.
Staff Report - Planning Commission - July 22,2003
PLN2003-69 - 1228 Camden Avenue - Zeden Jones
Page 3 of 4
Strategy LUT-1O.1e: Parking Lot Screening: Plant landscaping or build decorative walls at the
interior and perimeter of parking areas as a visual screen.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is P-D (Planned Development).
The proposed project would be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance with approval of a
Conditional Use Pennit. The establishment of new uses within existing buildings requires a
Conditional Use Pennit as well as the early operational hours in the P-D (Planned Development)
Zoning District.
Operational Hours: The applicant is proposing operational hours of 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
These hours are typical for a coffee house use and are not unusual for a commercial use.
Parking: The applicant is deleting three parking spaces to accommodate additional landscaping
and the trash enclosure. The parking area provides 34 parking spaces where 23 parking spaces
would be required for a retail use. Restaurants require one parking space for each three seats or
9 parking space for this use, where 11 spaces have been provided.
Traffic Impact Analysis: The City required that a traffic impact analysis be prepared for the
project. This report concludes that the proposed use will not have a significant traffic impact on
adjacent intersections and recommends traffic improvements to provide a keep clear zone at the
northerly driveway and to restrict the southerly driveway to exit-only. The report additionally
recommends 24 foot circulation aisles. Staff is not recommending an increase in the width of the
driveway aisle in that a minimum one-way 20 foot aisle is provided and a wider aisle will reduce
the available parking.
Landscaping: The submitted site plan indicates that approximately 35 percent of the project site
is landscaped. Typically, 10 to 25 percent of commercial sites are landscaped. Staff is
recommending a condition of approval that requires the removal of the sidewalk between the two
on-site driveways and the provision of street trees and landscaping in this area. This additional
landscaping will provide a desirable buffer between the parking area and the street.
The applicant additionally is proposing a decorative low screen wall at the business entrance to
enhance the patio entrance and accommodate limited outdoor dining.
Building Design: Minor architectural changes are proposed with the establishment of the new
coffee house use. These changes include a new storefront system for entrances from the parking
area, the provision of a ledge-stone wainscot at the base of the building and a wider sidewalk at
the enrty.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
reviewed this application at its meeting of July 8, 2003. The Committee recommends approval of
the proposed use with recommended traffic and site improvements as incorporated in the
conditions of approval.

Findings for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a coffee house
use within an existing commercial building at 1228 Camden A venue.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to file number PLN 2003-69:
1. The proposed coffee house use is consistent with the General Commercial General Plan land
use designation and the P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District with approval of a
Conditional Use Permit.
2. The proposed coffee house use is permitted in the General Commercial zoning district.
3. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding commercial uses within the
neighborhood.
4. The hours of operation are limited to 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily which are compatible and
complementary to other commercial and industrial uses in this neighborhood.
5. The 34 parking spaces will adequately address the parking needs of the proposed use and
exceeds the 23 parking spaces required for a general retail uses for this building. The
restaurant standard would require 9 parking spaces for the tenant space where 11 spaces have
been provided.

RE:
Amended Conditional Use Permit Application for
Starbucks Coffee Company at 1228 Camden A venue, Campbell
To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to take the opportunity to address the Planning Department with a Letter of Explanation.
Starbucks Coffee Company is truly excited about this prime location at 1228 Camden Avenue.
This site has great visibility and the recent renovations by the new owner contribute significantly
to the excitement being generated by the community. We feel that our use will be a fine addition
to this neighborhood as well as a rest stop for local commuters that may want to stay at our
proposed patio area.
Starbucks Coffee Company is a small coffee house that is company-operated. We do absolutely
no cooking on premises. Hence, our use will be less of an impact than the previous full service
restaurant. We also expect to be a complimentary co-tenant with our neighbor, CopyCo, due to
cross-over of customers desiring fine products and services. We hire local residents and offer our
partners (employees) great compensation and incentives. We will schedule 4 employees per shift
at our peak hours. Our hours of operation are from Sam to 10pm
Furthermore, our use will not impact the existing congestion. The existing ingress and egress are
great. We feel that parking will not be an issue since adequate parking spaces are available on
site. We do not expect any additional traffic, but hope to be a suitable alternative to the adjacent
fast food uses that likewise serve the existing traffic counts..
If you have any questions or concerns as we construct and open our stores, please feel free to
contact me at the number listed below.
Sincerely,
Zß~e~

Draft Report
Campbell Starbucks TIA
July 2003
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of the transportation impact analysis (TIA) conducted for the
proposed Campbell Starbucks in Campbell, California. The purpose of the analysis to identify the
transportation impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding roadway system and to
identify improvements to mitigate significant impacts.
The project site currently contains an empty Carrows Restaurant. Recently, CopyCo has been
approved to occupy the building, and now Starbucks is proposing to share the building with
CopyCo. The proposed project site is located on the northwest quadrant of the Camden
Avenue/Curtner Avenue-White Oaks Avenue intersection. Access to the project site is provided
via two full-access driveways located on Curtner Avenue.
Project impacts were evaluated following the guidelines of the City of Campbell and the Santa
Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) , which is the congestion management agency for
Santa Clara County. The operation of one key intersection was evaluated with level of service
calculations to identify potential traffic impacts. Site access, on-site circulation, and parking were
assessed.
Project Trips
The amount of traffic generated by the proposed development was estimated based on trip
generation surveys conducted by Fehr and Peers Associates at a Starbucks in Orinda,
California. Trip purpose surveys were conducted by Fehr and Peers Associates at a Starbucks in
San Jose, California to develop estimates of the number of pass-by and diverted-link trips that
would be associated with the proposed project during the AM peak hour. Based on these
surveys, the proposed project is expected to generate 164 AM peak hour trips (80 inbound/84
outbound) and 51 PM peak hour trips (26 inbound/25 outbound). During the AM Peak hour, it
was estimated that 78 percent of the project trips are pass-by or diverted-link trips.
The trip distribution pattern for project traffic was estimated based on existing travel patterns and
relative locations of complementary land uses. Project-generated traffic was assigned to the
study intersections to determine the potential impacts of the proposed project.
Intersection levels of Service
Using count data provided by the City of Campbell, existing lane configurations, a list of
approved developments, project-generated trips, and a growth factor, level of service (LOS)
calculations were conducted for Existing, Background, Project and Cumulative Conditions. The
method described in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (Special Report 209, Transportation
Research Board) for signalized intersections using adjusted (Santa Clara County) saturation flow
rates was used for the calculations. The results of the intersection LOS calculations are
presented in Table ES-1.

Intersection Impacts and Mitigation Measures
For CMP intersections in the City of Campbell, significant traffic impacts are defined to occur
when the addition of project traffic causes:
1. Operations to deteriorate from LOS E or better under Background Conditions to LOS F
under Project Conditions; or
2. Exacerbation of unacceptable operations (LOS F) by increasing the critical delay by four
seconds or more and increasing the volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio by 0.01 or more; or
3. An increase in the VIC ratio by 0.01 or more when the change in critical delay is negative
at an intersection projected to operate unacceptably under Background and Project
Conditions.
As shown in Table ES-1, the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact to
the key intersection.
Freeway Impacts
The proposed project is expected to add few, if any. new trips to the nearby freeway system.
Therefore, the proposed project is expected to have a less-than-significant impact to that system.
Site Access, On-Site Circulation, and Parking
The proposed site plan was reviewed to assess site-access, on-site circulation, and parking.
Recommendations were made to improve site access and circulation. These improvements
include making the southern driveway an exit-only driveway, and keeping the northern driveway
as a full-access driveway. It was also recommended that "Keep Clear" striping be added to
Curtner Avenue at the northern driveway.
On-site circulation was reviewed. It was recommended that all circulation aisles maintain at least
24-feet in width. Parking was reviewed and is considered to be adequate for the proposed uses.
