RE:
HAMILTON PARK
Dear DuWayne:
I would again like to thank you and other members of the Planning Commission for the
tremendous amount of time spent considering the many planning issues involved in
development of the Hamilton Mobile Home Park site. In my view, the key to developing a
concensus plan for the property requires active involvement by the Planning Commission
and members of the community early on in the planning process. It is my sincere hope
that with this involvement, the final plan for the property will be acceptable to all
parties.
In this regard, I respectfully request the opportunity to present alternative conceptual site
plans to the Planning Commission during a study session to be held at your earliest
convenience. At this study session, conceptual site plans would be presented for your
preliminary comments. Based on this feedback, we could proceed with the refined design
of a preferred site plan or plans for further review. Through this process, the ultimate
plan for the property will respond to the extent possible to the concerns of the Planning
Commission and members of the community.
--
I sincerely appreciate the effort you and members of the Planning Commission have made
to assist us in developing a successful plan for the property, and I believe through
continued dialogue and study we will be successful in achieving that end.
Sincerely,

Our File 610.4 (Sale-0153)
Dear Mr. Fleischli:
A proposal to purchase Company lands off Hamilton Avenue was submitted with
your letter of December 15, 1984. The proposed use of this property was for
vehicular parking lot facilities in conjunction with your proposed Campbell
Office Park Complex.
Although the proposed parking facility use is generally consistent with PGandE's
policies, the Electric Operating and Engineering Departments have reviewed your
proposal and found it too incompatible because of conflicts with Company's
access and operations. Therefore, we must, regretfully, deny your request to
purchase, lease or use this parcel of land.
/-
If you have any questions or wish to discuss the matter further, you may
telephone me on (408) 298-3333, extension 105. The actual job is being handled
by Mr. C. Earl Nelson who may be reached on extension 449.

RECOMMENDATION:
'.
That the Redevelopment Agency confirm the business
terms of the proposed particip~tion agreement between
the Campbell Redevelopment Agency and the Prometheus,'
Development Company (900 East Hamilton Avenue). The
actual drafting of a formal agreement should wait
until after the results of the June 5 referendum are
known.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has negotiated a proposed agreement with the'
Prometheus Development Company calling for Redevelopment
Agency participation of $1.4 million in the 900 East
Hamilton Avenue traffic improvement or relocation costs.
The developer's current obligation in these two areas
totals an estimated $5~5 million. The proposed agree-
ment, which is described in, the attached memorandum,
provides that the developer will front all of the costs
for the improvements and the relocation, and requires
the Agency to repay 'the developer for its share of the
costs only after tax increments are received from the
project.
The attached memorandum also ,summarizes some of the
reasons justifying the Agency's participation in this
privately sponsored project.

Dear Mr. Fleischli:
This letter responds to your letter of January 4, 1984, re-
questing that the Redevelopment Agency pay the costs of the
traffic improvements required as a condition of approval for
PD 83-04. As you know, a referendum petition opposing the
Council's approval of PD 83-04 has been submitted to the
City Clerk. The petition has approximately 2,700 signatures
and is likely, therefore, to force the City Council to choose
between rescinding the PD 83-04 approval or calling for a
special election on the matter in conjunction with the June 5,
1984 statewide primary election. As a result, the planning
approval required for your project is suspended pending final
disposition by either the City Councilor the Campbell
electorate.
I
l-
The Redevelopment Agency believes that it is now appropriate
to begin discussions with you on the question of Agency parti-
cipation in the traffic improvements required as a condition
of project approval. However, it must be understood in
commencing those discussions that any agreement which may be
achieved is contingent upon voter approval of the PD zoning,
or more accurately, on voter rejection of the referendum
question. If the election results overturn the zoning decision,
any agreement which might have been reached by the Redevelopment
Agency and Prometheus Development Company would be voided.
In order to assure the Agency of your understanding of the
contingent nature of these discussions, I am requesting that
both you and Sanford sign one copy of this letter and return
it to me. Upon receipt of your signed response, I will
schedule a meeting to discuss the Agency's response to your
request for financial assistance on the public improvement costs.
Sincerely,
Edward G. Schilling

I understand that any agreement which the Prometheus Development
Company may negotiate with the Campbell Redevelopment Agency is
contingent upon the defeat of the referendum question which may
be placed before the electorate on June 5,1984. If the City
Councilor the voters cause the ordinance to be overturned,
any agreement between the Prometheus Development Company and
the Redevelopment Agency would be void.

RE:
900 EAST HAMILTON AVENUE
PD 83-04
Dear Anne:
-
I recently received a copy of Ordinance #1493 approving the re-
ferenced application. I have reviewed Exhibit D to said
ordinance entitled "Conditions of Approval", and I am concerned
about Conditions #36 and #39 as they differ from my notes taken
at the Council hearing of December 6, 1983.
Specifically, Condition #36 regarding an elevated ingress-
egress connection from the proposed parking structure is
clearly a Phase II requirement as the parking structure will
not be built during Phase I. Similarly, Condition #39 regarding
a grade separated pedestrian crossing of the on-site public
street is proposed as a Phase II improvement as at-grade
pedestrian access to the easterly parking area is provided
during Phase I. The ordinance, as written, requires that
these improvements be completed prior to occupancy of Phase I.
My notes indicate the Council modified these conditions to
provide for their satisfaction prior to occupancy of Phase II.
I would appreciate you researching this at your earliest
convenience, and effecting the appropriate modification. Thank
you.

Argument against ord~~ance No. l493~
,:7;>:r.t) j7 ð - ¿J y' .
This Ordinance would approve construction of the ",.",~:...",.c't,
~ massive high-rise office complex consisting of one 15 .tory building,
one 11 story building and one 6 story building.
With nearly as much
floor space as the entire pruneyard but on less than half the amount
of land, its intensity of use would far exceed any other major
development in Campbell.
The daily traffic count generated by some 2,400 office workers
plus clients and visitors would be primarily carried by Hamilton
Avenue.
This stretch of Hamilton, between Bascom Avenue and Highway
17, is already one of the heaviest travelled streets in Santa Clara
County and it has yet to contend with the increase due from the Ainsley
projects under construction on Hamilton just east of Bascom,.
Placing this immense development in the heart of an already criti-
cally congested area could be chaotic. It could be devastating to many
existing businesses dependent upon convenient access.
It could preempt
future development of other prime properties along Hamilton. It would be
certain to heap additional costs in time and frustration for several
thousand Campbell community residents who must travel through this
area to get to work each morning and home at night.
The utter magnitude of this single purpose project i. such as to
seriously threaten Campbell's carefully developed and nurtured social
and economic balance of diversified commercial, industrial and resi-

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Ci ty of Campbell
76 North Central Avenue
Campbell, CA 95008
Gentlemen:
At its meeting of November 22,1983, the San Jose City Council authorized me
to communicate to you the strong concerns felt by the City of San Jose over
the proposed rezoning of the Hamilton Mobi1ehome Park, near the intersection
of Hamilton and Bascom Avenues.
In a letter sent to Campbell on April 12,1982, the San Jose City Manager
discussed the various critical issues which San Jose considers to be of
particular importance. Subsequent correspondence has reiterated those
concerns. It now appears that you may be facing a decision on this same
project without having sufficient information to judge whether our concerns
have yet been addressed
The City of San Jose, in rezoning a portion of the Ainsley property, did
significantly reduce traffic impacts on several intersections, many of them in
or adjacent to the City of Campbell. That action, however, also changed the
traffic circulation patterns of the area in terms of directionality and times
of impact. The information presently before you reflects only a superficial
look at the cumulative effects of this proposal, not a complete professional
analysis of the new situation. We believe that your proposed rezoning m~
have potentially significant effects on intersections in the City of San Jose
which have not yet been adequately analyzed. In addition, the tunnel proposed
to mitigate traffic impacts m~ direct significant amounts of noise toward San
Jose residents~ homes.
Honorable M~or and City Council
November 30,1983
Page 2
The Cities of San Jose and Campbell have a tradition of working together to
solve our mutual problems, particlarly in this area. I would hope that you
will delay taking action on this project until you have complete and
sufficient information to respond to our concerns, especially the effects of
traffic and tunnel noise on the citizens of San Jose.
Thank you for your consideration.

The applicant is proposing to construct an office project which would con-
sist of 3 structures of 6, 11, and IS-stories, totaling approximately
485,000 sq. ft. of gross building area. In addition, a two-level above-
grade parking st:ructure is also proposed for the site. Proposed off-site
improvements include a tunnel beneath Hamilton Avenue with associated
ramps, a bridge across Los Gatos Creek to cormect with Campisi Way, and
the Nidening of the Hamil ton Avenue bridge across Highway 17 to add one
rore westbound traffic lane.
The site consists of 14.6 acres of land, æ1d is indicated on the Land Use
Element of the General Plan as "Convnercial". The zoning for the property
is PD (Planned lèvelopment).
--
As proposed in this application, approximately 8.5\ of the net lot area
would be covered by 3 office buildings. Another 23.3\ of the site would
be covered by the two-level parking st:ructure on completion of Phase II,
resu1 t ing in a total lot coverage of approximately 32 \. Parking on grade
would cover 29\ of the site, and landscaping would accomt for the remain-
ing 39\.
The project is proposed to be developed in two phases. Phase I consists
of the 6 and 15 story office bui1dings.(333,000 sq. ft.), the tunnel be-
neath Hamilton Avenue, the bridge across los Gatos Creek, and an addi-
tional westbound lane for the bridge across Highway 17.
Phase II will consist of the 11 story building (152,000 sq.ft.), and the
parking structure. Completion of both phases is anticipated for 1987.
It should be noted that this phasing differs somewhat from the EIR prepared
for the project which indicates that the bridge to Qunpisi Way woula be
accomplished in Phase II. The applicant has agreed to COI1t>l~te this bridge
in Phase I due to concerns raised by the Public \'Iorks Deparbnent.

Parking for the proposed deve1opnent is indicated as a total of 1940 stalls,
resulting in an overall ratio of 1:250. In Phase I, it is proposed that a
total of 1380 at-grade spaces be provided for a ratio of 1:241. In addition,
it is proposed that the ratio of compact car parking stalls be approved at
SO, of the total. The applicant had submitted docunentation to support these
ratios as part of the previous application.
Iœ to .ihe scale of this project, the Staff can support the 1:241" parking
ratio for the reasons outlined in the report. In addition, several other
cities have a higher ratio for large projects. The Staff is reconrnending
that in Phase I, however, the maximlln ntlnber of compact stalls be limited
to 40\. The EIR recommends that the City use Phase I of the deve1opnent
to assess the actual parking needs generated by the project when it is in
operation.
.-.
In order to mitigate the disruption to parking areas during ccnstruction of
the parking structure and the II-story office building in Phase II, the
applicant has proposed using valet parking services for several of the
parking areas. Since this w:>u1d be an interim meaSlU'e, Staff does support
the use of valet parking.
--
Relocation of the mobilehane park residents is an issue which has been raised
by the Council on previous occasions. The applicant has subnitted a letter
which was submitted to the mobilehome tenants association indicating their
willingness to provide $1,000,000 towards the cost of relocating the tenants.
A copy of this letter, dated August 12,1983, is attached.
The Architectural Advisor has raised several concerns regarding the site lay-
out, including the pedestrian/vehicular anival area, the need for additional
trees in the parking area, the need for better directional devices and design,
and the need for more details of the parking structure.'.
--
If this application is àpproved by the City CDunèi1, the following issues
should be clarified in subsequent plans to be approved by the Planning
Comnission and the City Cotmcil:
1. Parking structure, elevations, circulation, and ramps are not
clearly identified. Floor plans of the parking structure are
not shown.
2.
Sidewalks on the proposed public street through the project
are not continuous.
3. Trash enclosures are not indicated.

RE:
PD 83-04,920 E. Hamilton Avenue, Campbell
Proposed Office Complex by Prometheus Development Co.
Dear Mr. Schoennauer:
Thank you for your letter of October 24, 1983 in which you expressed the
concerns of the City of San Jose regarding the proposal for development
of an office complex at the site of the existing Hamilton M:>bi1e Home Park.
This application, as referenced above, is before the City of Campbell again,
and "ill1 be discussed by the City COtl'lcil at its meeting of November 1, 1983
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The application mder consideration at this time is identical to the earlier
application for which cOI11lOOnts have been received from the City of San Jose.
The mitigating measures and conditions of approval being considered by the
Campbell City Comcil are also identical to the previous application for
redevelopment of the referenced property. Based on this, the Campbell City
Attorney has indicated that the Environmental Impact Report which was pre-
pared for the previous application for this site is still applicable, and
that no further review of the EIR is required.
..
Your letter correctly indicates that Section 15153 of the amended CEQA
Guidelines became effective on August 1, 1983. This section of the newly
revised guidelines specifies minimum requirements for the contents of a
notice when an agency proposes to use an EIR prepared for an earlier appli-
cation. Ibwever, as indicated in the League of Califomia Cities bulletin,
dated August 2, 1983, "Cities have mtil December 1 to conform to the new
guidelines. "
The current application being considered by the City of Campbell was filed
with the Planning Department on July 27, 1983. It has been, and continues
to be, the position of the City Attorney that an application filed with the
City is subject to requirements in effect at the time of filing.
In closing, it sbJuld be noted that both the Campbell City Comcil and
P1arming Canrnission also share the concerns expressed by the City of San
Jose-regarding the referenced site. The fact that the current application

was not referred to the City of San Jose should, by no means, be construed as
an attempt to by-pass conments from your agency. Rather, it is our position
that the comments received from San Jose for the previous project were still
applicable, particularly in light of the reduced traffic impact in the area
resul ting from San Jose's rezoning of the Ainsley property.
If there are any questions regarding this transmittal, please call.

SUMMARY--TRAFFIC ANALYSIS FOR THE PROPOSED PROMETHEUS DEVELOPMENT
----------------------------------------------------------
,-
Attached is a four-page traffic analysis prepared by Barton-Aschman
Associates, dated October 27, 1983, wherein the essential aspects of
their traffic analysis for the proposed Prometheus development is sum-
ma ri zed.
This study is an update of the original traffic report included within
the Environmental Impact Report which was prepared for the original ap-
plication heard by the City Council on February 1, 1983. This traffic
report differs from the aforementioned environmental document primarily
for the following reasons.
1.
Due to zoning changes for the Ainsley property within the City
of San Jose, the total generated traffic for that proposed project
will be reduced from 15,410 trips per day to 6,830 trips per day.
2.
New traffic counts were taken at the Hamilton and Bascom inter-
sect ion.
The proposed mitigating measures for the Prometheus project are the same
as those that were originally proposed last February, and are briefly
summarized as follows:
1.
Construct an underpass at Hamilton Avenue at the project's
western entrance to facil itate left turns.
2.
Provide an additional westbound lane on the Hamilton Avenue
bridge crossing State Route 17.
3.
Construct a bridge over Los Gatos Creek to connect the project to
Campisi Way. It is to be noted that this bridge is to accommodate
pedestrian and bicycle traffic, as well as vehicular traffic.
4.
Provide a second left turn lane on the south approach of the
Bascom-Campbe 11 intersect i on.
Edward G. Schilling
2
October 27, 1983
5.
Provide a second left turn lane on the approach of the Bascom-
Campisi intersection.
The above mitigating measureS are all offsite improvements. However,
in addition it will be necessary to provide a major public roadway on-
site, along with traffic signal ization.
The levels of service at the major intersections are shown on the
tabulation on Page 3. BecauSe the Ainsley project is now planned to
be of lower density and thus generate less traffic, there is a sl ight
improvement in the level of service at most of the major intersections.
-
In conclusion, this updated traffic report depicts sl ightly better levels
of service at major intersections than the documents reviewed at the
February 1 Council meeting because of the aforementioned modifications of
the Ainsley development and more current traffic count data.

MEMORANDUM TO: Joe Ell iott
Director of Public Works
City of Campbell
FROM: Jeffrey P. Damon
DATE: October 27,1983
SUBJECT: Compilation of Traffic Analysis Memoranda for the proposed Campbell
Office Park.
-
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. was requested to compile our previous
traffic memoranda dated August 30, 1983 and October 4, 1983 into one
document which briefly discusses the traffic-related issues involved with
the proposed Campbell Office Park project located at 900 E. Hamilton Avenue
in Campbell. This memorandum addresses that request.
The project proposes to ultimately construct 485,000 square feet of
commercial office space at the above-mentioned location with buildout
occurring in 1987. The project is anticipated to generate the following
volumes of traffic:
TABLE 1
TRIP GENERATION OF PROJECT

(¡1000 s. f.) (20%) (20% In/80% Out)

Buildout - 485K s.f. 12 5820 1164 233/931
A previous traffic study was conducted for this project in 1982.
However, Barton-Aschman Associates was retained to re-assess the
implications of the project because of two changes which have occurred. They
are:
1). The Ainsley property has recently been approved for development by the
City of San Jose with a changed use. The property, previously approved
for Commercial, Residential, Recreational and Office uses, has been
changed to Residential and Research & Development uses. Total generated
traffic will be reduced from 15,410 daily (1,934 pk-hr) trips to an
anticipated 6,830 daily (991 pk-hr) trips with the new scenario.
2). New traffic counts have been conducted at some critical intersections
[6)
1
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc.
including Hamilton/Bascom.
3). Activity in the Highway 85 Corridor has increased recently. Currently,
Caltrans is conducting preliminary environmental studies and there is
approximately $6 Million now available for right-of-way purchase and
protection in the corridor. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will
be completed for alternative projects in the corridor in about 2 years.
Funding for the roadway portions appears to be "likely" according to
Caltrans officials.
Mitigation measures are proposed as part of the project. They are:
- Construction of an underpass at Hamilton Avenue and the project's
western entrance to facilitate left turns in and out of the project for
westbound Hamilton Avenue traffic.
- Widening of the Hamilton Avenue structure over S.R. 17 to provide for a
westbound right-turn-only movement at the Hamilton/S.R. 17 southbound
off ramp/Salmar Avenue intersection.
- Construction of a bridge over Los Gatos Creek to provide another point
of entry/exit to the project via Campisi Way.
- The addition of a second left turn lane on the south approach of the
Bascom Avenue and Campbell Avenue intersection.
- The addition of a second left turn lane on the south approach of the
Bascom Avenue and Campisi Way intersection.
Existing and future levels of service were calculated using the
Circular 212, Planning methodology as instructed by city staff. The future
ana lyses were conducted wi th the project-related traffi c generated,
distributed and assigned to the roadway system. The directional distribution
used was the same as in the previous study. Existing traffic was increased
by 1.5% per year to take into account the growth in background traffic. And
in addition, traffic from all approved projects in either San Jose or
Campbell affecting critical intersections was also included in the analysis.

CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions have been drawn from the analysis conducted. They are:
1). There have been significant reductions in the anticipated traffic to be
generated by the Ainsley property in San Jose because of a change in the
use of the development to occur on the property.
--
2). The intersections operating at levels below "0" will do so regardless of
whether this project is constructed. In fact, the operational level of
Hamilton/Bascom in 1987 will be better with the project and its proposed
mitigations than without the project and the mitigations. (See Table 2).
3). Improvements i n the Hi ghway 85 Corri dor have become more probab 1 e i n
recent months.
4). The project proposes several major operational and roadway improvements
that will mitigate the project-generated traffic.

Dear Art:
I have enclosed a memorandum dated October 4, 1983, prepared
by Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. as a supplement to their
memorandum dated August 30,1983, regarding traffic analysis
for the referenced project. This memorandum addresses two
questions posed to the consultants, namely to calculate the
projected level of service in 1987 (i) with construction of
the project as proposed along with the proposed traffic mi-
tigation measures using the City of San Jose methodology for
computing level of service, and (ii) construction of the
proposed traffic mitigation measures with no project using
the circular 2-1-2 planning methodology for computing level
of service which was utilized in the prior memorandum.
,--
The purpose of the computation described in (i) above was to
determine the projected level of service at the intersection
of Hamilton and Bascom Avenues as it would be if the City of
San Jose were using its own methodology. As the memorandum
indicates, the projected level of service at this intersection
in 1987 with construction of the project and the proposed
traffic mitigation measures is 0.87 volume to capacity, or
level of service "D". This would be compared with a projec-
ted volume to capacity of 0.98 for this intersection using
the planning methodology described above, or level of
service "E". In either case, the projected level of service
is within the acceptable parameters set forth in the Agreement
dated July 28, 1980, by and between the city of San Jose and
the City of Campbell regarding vehicular traffic at the
intersection of Hamilton and Bascom Avenues.
Further, it is interesting to note the rather minor improve-
ment in the projectèd level of service at the intersection of
Hamilton and Bascom Avenues if all the proposed traffic
mitigation measures were constructed with no project at all.
As I understand the consultants findings, this scenario
would improve the volume to capacity ratio from 0.98 to 0.94,
both ratios being considered level of service "E".

STAFFDISrnSSION
Staff has received the attached letter from Mr. Thomas Fleischli, in which
a request is made that the Prometheus Development Cbmpany's application
(PD 83-04) be scheduled for the City Cotmcil meeting of November 15, 1983.
Had this request to set the public hearing for November 15, 1983 not been
made, Staff's nonnal course of action would have been to set the hearing
£Or October 4,1983.
The applicant lists five reasons for requesting the November 15 hearing
date:
Generate more current infonnation on the office and research/
development market in the Campbell area;
Provide additional time to prepare an updated traffic analysis
of the Hamilton/Bascom Avenue intersection;
To discuss new ideas on relocation of the mobilehome park
tenants;
To provide. an opportunity to solicit support for the proj ect
from the business comrm.mi ty; and
To avoid conflicts caused by vacation scheduling.
If the City Cbtmcil considers it desirable to review this application prior
to the November 8, 1983 election, Staff could agendize it for the meeting
of November 1, 1983. If, on the other hand, the Cbtmcil does not have a
preference to hear this item prior to the election, then Staff could agendize
it for the CbUIldl meeting of November 15, 1983.

SUBJECT:
Level of Service Calculations
Q I '
--
As requested, Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. has calculated levels of service
for Bascom/Hamilton for two scenarios: 1987 w/Project &:. w/Proposed Mitigations;
and 1987 w/o Project &:. w/Proposed Mitigations. The LOS for the former scenario was
calculated using the same projected turning movements for which a LOS calculation
was conducted in our August 30, 1983 memorandum (Table 6) for the same scenario.
The second scenario calculation was based on the 1983 (existing) turning movements
projected to 1987 with the "Approved Trips" (those trips generated by already
approved projects) added. The intersection operation was balanced against the
Bascom/Campisi operation with the same scenario as the mitigation provides a
diversionary route for traffic bypassing the Bascom/Hamilton intersection, thus
improving the projected intersection's operational level.
For this memorandum, the "Project" and the "Proposed Mitigations" are exactly
those as discussed in the August 30, 1983 memorandum.
The level of service analyses were conducted by using the computer-assisted
City of San Jose Critical Movement methodology for the first scenario and the
Circular 212 methodology for the second scenario. The results of the analyses are
presented below.

CITY OF CAMPBELL
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Dear Art:
,,-.
Although the Planning Commission adopted Staff's recommendation
for approval for the proposed project, additional work must be
completed in preparation for the upcoming council hearing.
First, in response to questions raised by Commissioners Kosalas
and Campos, I want to perform additional research on the office
and research and development market in the Campbell area
proper. Information is readily available from most real estate
firms on the West Valley Market, but in fact, this market does
include a fairly sizeable geographical area. I believe it is
appropriate to focus our analysis on a condensed geographical
area surrounding the proposed project which perhaps will answer
the same questions if raised by members of the council.
,-
Secondly, based on my recent discussions with Staff, I will be
submitting additional traffic analyses, specifically with
regard to the intersection of Hamìlton and Bascom Avenues.
Third, Chuck Williamson has contacted me and requested a meeting
to discuss new ideas on relocation. He has requested Ms. Kathy
Bernard of Community Housing Developers attend this meeting,
with potential follow-up meetings with members of the County
Board of supervisors and their Staff regarding block grant
funding. These meetings could require a number of weeks to
conclude.
Fourth, I intend to meet with key members of the business commun-
ity to review the status of our proposed project and solicit
their support. I'm sure you can appreciate our reluctance to
spend significant time in this area prìor to a favorable decision
by the Planning Commission. This effort will take a substantial
amount of time and effort as well.
Finally, I will be out of the office the first week in October on
holiday.

AS a result, I respectfully request that our hearing before

I believe we should have sufficient time in the interim to
complete the tasks discussed above. I certainly appreciate
your consideration of this request.

-
Plans, elevations and development schedule for the construction of an office
complex to be located on property known as 920 E. Hamilton Avenue in a PD
(Planned Development/Cbmmercial) Zoning District have been presented for
approval by Mr. Thomas Fleisch1i, on behalf of 900 E. Hamilton Avenue - A
General Partnership.
After notification and public hearing as specified by law on said proposed
amendments, as filed in the Office of the Planning Department on July 27, 1983,
and after presentation by the Planning Director, proponents and opponents, the
hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Plmming Cbnmission did
find as follows:
That the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed
use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals,
comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working in
the neighborhood of such use, or detrimental or injurious to pro-
perty and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare
of the City.
-
Based on the above findings, the Plmming Cbnmission did recommend approval
of plans, elevations, and development schedule as presented and further re-
coJJD1lends that the City Cbuncil enact the Ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit
A, adopting said plans, elevations, and development schedUle for that portion
of the above mentioned Planned Development Zone.

Fleischli, T.
Public hearing to consider the application of
Mr. Thomas Fleischli, on behalf of 900 E. Hamil-
ton - A General Partnership, for a Planned Develop-
ment Pennit and approval of plans, elevations, and
development schedule to allow the construction of
an office complex on property known as 920 E.
Hamilton Avenue in a PD (Planned Development/
Commercial) Zoning District.
Connnissioner Dickson reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Archi tectural Review Conmi ttee . The Cornmi ttee is recoounending approval, with
one change in the conditions. Condition 41 - delete "describing how each ten-
ant will be relocated"...
r
Mr. Kee stated that one reason for this change is that prior to any approval,
the City COlIDCil will consider a relocation plan. The relocation issue has
been the subject of concern since the original submittal of this development.
A letter is enclosed in the Commission's packet (attached hereto) indicating
the applicant's agreement to provide some funds for the relocation of the
tenants. However, the relocation issue will have to be dealt with at the
Council level.
Chaiman Kotowski noted that the Commission does not have any responsibility
at this time to deal with the relocation issue, only with the development
plans.
r
Mr. Kee noted that this was correct, al thqugh the Council may decide at some
time in the future to have the Commission look into the relocation plan.
Additionally, Mr. Kee noted that the previous EIR that was accepted by the
City has been detennined by the City Attorney to be satisfactory for this
submittal, since the plans are the same as previously submitted. Staff did
request the EIR consultant to update the EIR. There are two things that have
changed since the original application--one is the re-zoning on the Ainsley
property at Bascom and Hamilton Avenue to Industrial, and the second is the
allocation of state funds for the acquisition of right-of-way for Route 85--
both these things would have a positive effect on the mitigation of the traffic
situation at this location.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked if there was any change to the development schedule.
~. Kee stated that completion of the entire project is scheduled for 1987; and,
there is general agreement that the bridge over Los Gatos Creek will be completed
during Phase I. .
Commissioner Campos asked if there was an updated "Resident Profile", since the
one included in the Staff Report is dated 1981.
jJ (1 J1fU( ý 3 ')/
1~ /3 r1
Mr. Kee noted that the report indicates that the information is basically
the same as in 1981 since there is such a small turn-over in the mobile
horne park.
-t/
Commissioner Campos stated that he felt the profile could be updated.
Chainnan Kotowski instructed that a letter from Mr. Jerry P. Houseman regarding
this item be entered into the record, and made a part of the minutes. Said
correspondence attached hereto.
Olainnan Kotowski declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Tom Fleischli, applicant, distributed a brochure to the Commission out-
lining the project. He reviewed the application noting the benefits of such
a development in Campbell, citing tax bases and jobs information, and the
project's connection with the redevelopment of the downtown area.
-,
Mr. Doug Yoder, representing MacMillan, M:>ore & Buchanan, Inc., spoke regard-
ing the. availability and need for office space in the West Valley area.
Mr. Fleischli requested that clarification be made on Condition Nos. 36 and
39, noting that they pertain to Phase II of the construction.
Mr. Helms noted his agreement with this request as it pertains to Condition No.
36, but that Condition No. 39 would be a condition to be complied with in Phase
1.
-
Mr. Timothy Ltmdell, Attorney representing mobilehome residents, spoke at
length regarding the relocation plan, indicating that the residents did not
object to the office development; and, that the $1,000,000 offered as part
of a relocation fund by the applicant was a good starting place, although
it was not nearly enough. Mr. Lundell noted that he felt that the relocation
plan (referred to in Condition No. 41) should be"describing how each tenant
will be relocated"; and, that the issue of relocation should be addressed
prior to anything else.
Mr. Wayne Mitsunaga, 1518 Via Cancion, San Jose 95128, spoke in opposition
to the project, citing noise, visual impact, and traffic. He felt the pro-
ject should be significantly down-sized.
Mr. Sanford Diller, Attorney representing Prometheus Development Co., noted
that the developer does share the residents concern,with the housing situa-
tion. The Keesling's (property owners) position is that they, éII.S private
iIfdividuals, do not have to shoulder the responsibility for thi$ housing.
~~. Diller submitted to the Commission that the best interests of all con-
cerned would be served by an approval of this project.
14. O1arles Williamson, O1airperson - Hamilton Mobilehome Owner'~ Association,
stated that there has been considerable and continuous work between the develop-
er and the park residents since the first submittal of this project. The home-
owners/residents recognize that the site is right for development and would
like to take this opporttmity that is presented to take advantage for the
people who require affordàble housing opportunities. He noted that the monies
offered by the developer could be combined with other funding to begin to work
out some solutions, and indicated the Association's opposition to any change
in Condition No. 41.

No one else wishing to speak, it was moved by Commissioner Howard, and

MOtion carried unanimously.

Discussion
Conunissioner Howard stated that he felt this was a very good project;
however, he expressed concern about what might happen if Phase II of
the project is not completed, mainly with regard to the open areas that
will be made available on Phase II. Addi tionally, he felt that the access
to the PG&E station was not large enough to accommodate the large trucks.
Commissioner Campos questioned the role of the Commission, as regards to
Condition No. 41 and the relocation plan. He felt that the Conmñssion
should have same role in this plan.
-,
Mr. Dempster stated that the City Council has not delegated that authority
to the Planning Commission at this time.
Commissioner Dickson stated that the City Council took action on this
application before, and he felt that the Commission should be very care-
ful to make sure that something has changed since that time.
Mr. Dempster stated that the applicant has a right to present their applica-
tion again, and the Commission has a right to look at it as a new project
again. Mr. Dempster conttinued that there have been changes, he felt, suffi-
cient enough to warrant a re-application of the same project.
-
Commissioner Kasolas noted that one of the most significant changes that
is apparant is the cooperation of the tenants and the applicants. He con-
tinued that he did not see any difficulty with respect to the change in
Condition No. 41, specifically on the basis that there are two issues be-
fore the Commission, and the Commission is to act only on one of those
issues--the planning function. The specific relocation of the tenants
has not been delegated to the Conmission. He added that he has confidence
that the City Council will take care of those needs within the commtmity,
and spoke în favor of the proj ect.
Commissioner Dickson stated that the Commission should make sure that they
understand the differences from the last time the project was considered:
Route 85 planning; Redevelopment Agency in effect; re- zoning of Ainsley
property to Industrial. Still to be considered is the visual impact in
that the profile is quite dense even though the architectural style is
good; and, the traffic is at a saturation level, though not as quite
saturated.
Chairman Kotowski noted his understanding that the traffic will only get
worse because of the nature of the county and the people moving, into the
a~a. However, street improvements to mitigate the situation will not be
done tmless it is done by developers.
Mr. Helms noted his concurrence, and indicated that there are currently no
adopted plans by the Council to construct any of these improvements at
the City's expense.

CDnmissioner Campos asked if the service station across from this site has
been purchased yet in order to complete the turmel mder Hamilton Avenue.
Mr. Dempster responded that there has been no change in this situation.
-1-
CDnunissioner Kasolas noted that it was his tmderstanding, regarding the
proposed development, that if Cænpisi Way is extended over the çreek and
the ttlUle 1 added tmder Hænil ton Avenue, traffic will be reduced at the
corner of Bascom and Hamilton.
r
Mr. ¡.elms responded that this is the Staff's position. Studies give the
indication that the mitigation measures will improve the level of service
at this intersection.

STAFF DISCUSSION
The applicant is proposing to construct an office project which would con-
sist of 3 structures of 6,11, and IS-stories, totaling approximately
485,000 sq. ft. of gross building area. In addition, a two-leve~ above-
grade parking structure is also proposed for the site. Proposed off-site
improvements include a turmel beneath Hamilton Avenue with associated
ramps, a bridge across Los Gatos Creek to connect with Campisi ¡Vay, and
the widening of the Hamil ton Avenue bridge across Highway 17 to add one
more 1,vestbound traffic lane.
The site consists of 14.6 acres of land, and is indicated on the Land Use
Element of the General Plan as "Conunercial". The zoning for the property
is PD (Planned Development).
-
As proposed in this application, approximately 8.5% of the net lot area
would be covered by 3 office buildings. Another 23.3% of the site would
be covered by the two-level parking structure on completion of !Phase II,
resulting in a total lot coverage of approximately 32%. Parking on grade
would cover 29% of the site, and landscaping would account for the remain-
ing 39%.
The project is proposed to be developed in two phases. Phase I consists
of the 6 and 15 story office buildings,(333,000 sq. ft.), the tunnel be-
neath Hamilton Avenue, the bridge across Los Gatos Creek, and ah addi-
tional westbound lane for the bridge across Highway 17.
Phase II will consist of the 11 story building (152,000 sq. ft.), and the
parking structure. Completion of both phases is anticipated for 1987.
It should be noted that this phasing differs somewhat from the EIR prepared
for the project which indicates that the bridge to Campisi Way would be
accomplished in Phase II. The applicant has agreed to complete this bridge
in Phase I due to concerns raised by the Public Works Department.

Parking for the proposed development is indicated as a total of 1940 stalls,
resultillg ill an overall ratio of 1:250. In Phase I, it is proposed that a
total of 1380 at-grade spaces be provided for a ratio of 1: 241. In addition,
it is proposed that the ratio of compact car parking stalls be approved at
50% of the total. The applicant had submitted documentation to support these
ratios as part of the previous application.
--
Due to the scale of this project, the Staff can support the 1:241 parking
ratio for the reasons outl:ined in the report. In addition, several other
cities have a higher ratio for large proj ects. The Staff is reconunending
that :in Phase I, however, the maximum number of compact stalls be limited
to 40%. The EIR reconunends that the City use Phase I of the development
to assess the actual park:ing needs generated by the project when it is in
operation.
In order to mitigate the disruption to parking areas during construction of
the park:ing structure and the II-story office building :in Phase II, the
applicant has proposed us:ing valet parking services for several of the
park:ing areas. Since this \\Ould be an interim measure, Staff does support
the use of valet park:ing.
Relocation of the mobilehome park residents is an issue which has been raised
by the Conmission on previous occasions. The applicant has subnitted a letter
which was submitted to the mobilehome tenants association indicating their
wi1l:ingness to provide $1,000,000 towards the cost of relocating the tenants.
A copy of this letter, dated August 12,1983, is attached.
The Architectural Advisor has raised several concerns regarding the site lay-
out, :including the pedestrian/vehicular arrival area,; the need for additional
trees in the parking area, the need for better directional devices and design,
and the need for more details of the parking structure.
r
If tHis;applid\tion is approved by the City Comèil, the £ollowmg:issues
should be clarified in subsequent plans to be approved by the Planning
Conunission:
1. Parking structure, elevations, circulation, and ramps :¡¡.re not
clearly identified. Floor plans of the parking structure are
not shown.
2.
Sidewalks on the proposed public street through the proj ect
are not cont:inuous.
Trash enclosures are not indicated.
3.
4.
Access to the PG&E Substation needs improvement.
5.
6.
Details of the plaza area should be provided.
Park:ing spaces for Phase I, as comted on the plans, are
less than the total indicated on the Data StmIJI1ary.

It should be noted that the City Attorney has made the detennination that the
Environmental Impact Report which was prepared for the previous application
for this site is still applicable, and that no further review of the ErR
is required or necessary.
Also attached for the Connnission' s review are other items of cdnnnunication
which have been received regarding this application.
Even with the concerns expressed above, Staff is reconnnending approval of
this application on a conceptual basis, with the requirement that detailed
plans for each phase be brought back to the Commission for approval.
It should be noted that, at its meeting of January 11, 1983, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 2165 recommending approval of this project
to the City Council, by a vote of 5-2-0 (Commissioners FairbanMs and Dickson
voting "no"). * * *

I have enclosed a letter dated August 25, 1983, from ~imothY A.
Lundell on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ha ilton
Park Mobile Homeowners Association to Sanford N. Dill r, and
letters dated August 31, 1983, and September 6, 1983,! from
Sanford N. Diller to Timothy A. Lundell. '
This correspondence relates to the proposal of 900 E.! Hamilton
Avenue, a general partnership to Mr. Charles Williams~n on
behalf of the Hamilton Park Mobile Homeowners Association to
contribute $1,000,000, to be placed in a relocation fund to
assist in relocating the residents of Hamilton Park. !
--
Mr. Lundell, in his letter of August 25, 1983, resPo~ded to
this proposal Wit.h a counter proposal consisting of four (4)
acceptable alternatives, the most desirable of which ould
require the developer and tne Campbell Redevelopment ~gency to
locate and acquire a site, construct a new mobile ho1e park
thereon, and relocate the residents to the new park. I In addi-
tion, the residents' least desirable alternative woul!d require
a contribution of $2.5 million dollars to be placed iin a fund
for the purchase of mobile homes in the park, with a~y excess
being utilized as a rental subsidy for future rental !costs of
low income residents. '
Mr. Diller responded to this counter proposal in his !letter of
August 31, 1983. He points out, in short, that the ~proposal
submitted to Mr. Williamson represents the maximum c ntribution
the proposed project can economically support, and i , equitable
in light of the fact the residents are faced with a ~elocation
decision irrespective of our proposed project as a r~sult of the
Keeslings' notice to close down the park. .

Mr. Diller's correspondenc. e of September 6, 1983, i~cludes a
recent court case supporting the legal proposition ~hat pre-
venting a landlord from exercising his right to tefminate his
business as a landlord was unconstitutional under t e Due
Process Clause of the California Constitution. Thi court
case was particularly timely in light of the notion held by
some residents that in fact the Keeslings can someho~ be
restricted from closing down the mobile home park. i
I felt it important to submit this correspondence t~ complete
the record prior to our upcoming public hearings. f expect
the issue of relocation will be discussed by member$ of the
Planning Commission and City Council and they shoul~ certainly
have complete information available to them. I res~ectfully
request this correspondence be included as a part of our ap-
plication and submitted to members of the Planning Çommission

I have enclosed a letter dated August 25, 198~ from
Michael Murphy of MacMillan, Moore & Buchanan, In . regarding
the market for office and R & D in the West Valle Market.
Michael prepared this letter report in anticipatiqn members of
~bePlanning Commission and City Council may have questions
as to the need for first-class office space in Ca~pbell.
I believe the report clearly points out the i4sufficient
supply of office space in the West Valley Market. ¡ I was
particularly surprised to read that major tenantslare moving
out of the area as a result of insufficient expan~ion space.
Michael notes two examples, the Chubb Insurance G~oup who
moved from the pruneyard and leased approximately 15,000 sq.
ft. in Trammell Crow's Project at the San Jose Ai~port and
USF&G who moved from 15,000 sq. ft. at Hamilton a~d San Tomas
to 20,000 sq. ft. on North First Street in San Jo~e. In
both cases, the tenant would have preferred to stáy in the
West Valley but could not get adequate expansion ~pace in a
first-class project in the area. .
-.
Please include this letter report in our appl~cation to
be made available to members of the Planning Comm~ssion and
City Council. Should you have any questions on a4y of this
material, please feel free to contact or Micha~l Murphy
directly. Thank you. :

Enclosed herewith please find a letter da ed
August 12,1983 from Sanford N. Diller to Mr. CharI s
Williamson as President of the Hamilton Park Mobile
Homeowners Association. This letter proposes a con-
tribution of $1,000,000 to be placed in a relocatio
fund and made available to residents at Hamilton Park
in need of relocation assistance as a result of approval
of the referenced application.
Please note that the relocation assistanc is
contingent upon final approval of the project and e ecu-
tion of a disposition and development agreement bet een
900 East Hamilton Avenue and the City of Campbell Redevelop-
ment Agency which provides for Agency participation in the
cost of off-site improvements as proposed in the ap lication.
-,
As you know, the Redevelopment Agency has ade no
committment as to their interest in participating i the
project. If in fact the Redevelopment Agency agrees to
participate in the project, and as a result relocat"on
assistance is required by California Law or otherwi e, it
is our intention that the $1,000,000 contribution r ferenced
above would be pooled with the resources of the Red velopment
Agency to be utilized in the satisfaction of any st tutory
requirements for relocation assistance by the Agenc .

no possibility of relocation of the displaced obilehomes,
and 2) provides alternative rental housing at wo to three
times the present cost of rents at Hamilton P rk. As you
are aware, the popular preference for relocatio of mobile-
homes has been the acquisition of property and onstruction
of a new mobilehome park to which Hamilton Par residents,
and possibly others, could be moved. As you ust also be
aware from your own efforts in that regard, $ , 000, 000. 00
represents only a fraction of the cost of suc an under-
taking. Nevertheless, relocation to another mob lehome park
still represents the first choice of the ssociation,
al though all of us realize from many months 0 study that
there are significant problems in making such a roject work
(i.e., unavailability of a suitable parcel, exc ssive cost,

Prometheus Office Developnent
Earth Metrics Project A8098
Dear Mr. Kee:
This letter is written to comment on the environmental process of the
Prometheus Office Developnent in the City of Campbell. From an ~nvironmental
analysis standpoint consistent with CEQA and the State Guideline!s and the
Guidelines of the City of Campbell, Earth Metrics finds that the! earlier EIR
prepared by Earth Metrics should suffice for an infonnation basiis to move
toward a decision on the project. In particular we see no need ~o revise or
recirculate the EIR.
The following ancillary infonnation may be of interest at this t:ime which
should serve to further reduce antic ipated traffic impacts in the local area.
First, the use of the Ainsley property in San Jose is now projected to be less
intense under the McCandless developnent than assumed in the EIR. Hence local
traffic impacts are expected to be reduced.
Second, the State has made further commitments to a major transpbrtation
project for the West Valley Corridor (Route 85), the developnent of which was
not assuned in the EIR, but which fac 11 ity would further mitigate traffic
impacts on Hamilton Avenue. In particular the State is canmitting protective
right of way acquisition funds and is actively pursuing the Alternatives
Analysis step required for this type of project by the Federal Highway
Adm in i str ation.
If you have need for further infonnation in this matter please contact me.

RE:
Dear Chuck:
Association
Hamilton Park
As we discussed, 900 E. Hamilton Avenue, a gen~ral partner-
ship is prep~red to contribute $1,000,000.00 toward$ the cost
of relocating the tenants residing at the mobile home park at
such time as the City Council approves our proposed commercial
office project for this site.
It is understood that these monies would be made available
and be allocated among the tenants at the park on t~e basis of
(i) the financial needs of the tenants, and (ii) ten~rit preferences.
The goal to be achieved in the final plan is to pro~ide some basis
of allocation satisfactory to all tenants at the park and the City
of Campbell. Determination of an equitable allocation by an
independent third party, such as the Santa Clara Co~nty Department
of Housing and Community Development, would certainly be acceptable.
It is understood that this proposal is contingent upon satis-
faction of the following conditions precedent for o~r benefit:
-
1.
The final approval by all required public authorities of
zoning to permit the construction on the s~bject property
of a commercial office project in accordançe with 900 E.
Hamilton Avenue, a general partnership's master plan for
the subject property. Approval shall be deemed final
after the period for appeal and/or judicia¡ challenge of
initial approval shall have lapsed without such action
having commenced.
2.
Execution of a disposition and development, agreement by
and between 900 E. Hamilton Avenue and the! City of
Campbell Redevelopment Agency which provid~s in part for
participation of the Redevelopment Agency in the cost of
off-site improvemen~s required as a condition of approval
specified in Paragraph 1 above. This agreement shall
further assure 900 E. Hamilton Avenue of its ability to
obtain a building permit within the statutory time period

for development of all phases of the proposed project. This
Agreement shall be subject to the sole and absolute $atisfaction
of 900 East Hamilton Avenue.
Please be apprised that this is not a contract, nor ~n offer
to enter into a contract. Any final contract is subject to
the review, approval and drafting of our attorney. aowever,
we will present the proposal outline herein as a par~ of our
application pending before the City of Campbell for development
of the commercial office project on the referenced property.
Of course, we cannot influence your business judgment and
the business judgment of all persons involved, howev~r, as
an observer who I believe can be objective, the pend~ng liti-
gation which in my considered opinion will result in eventual
termination of the tenancies, it would be in the best interest
of the parties you represent to seriously consider this proposal
and to accept it. We have some concern of your group wishing
to insert contingencies. Such contingencies would detract
from the affirmative response that the City Council would
like to have and if they are not satisfied, we would not
have an Agreement. .
In the event the conditions precedent for the benefit of 900
East Hamilton Avenue as stated herein are not satisfied by
December 31,1983, it is the intention of 900 East Hamilton
Avenue to withdraw its pending application, including this
proposal,'and terminate its pursuit of said approvals.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call
me or Tom F1eisch1i. Thank you.

REGARDING EFFECT OF WASTEWATER
TREATMENT CAPACITY ON LAND
DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS PURSUANT TO
DEVELOPMENT OF APN 288-01-002,
003 & 004
Please take notice that no vested right to a building permit
shall accrue as the result of the granting of any land development
approvals, and applications.
Pursuant to the adoption of ordinance
9.045 by County Sanitation District No.4 of Santa Clara County,
the agency providing the above described parcel(s) with sewer
service, if the District's Manager and Engineer makes a deter-
mination that the issuance of a sewer connection permit to a
building, or proposed building, on the above described property,
will, in his opinion, cause the District to exceed its ability to
treat adequately the wastewater that would result from the issuance
of such connection permit, then said permit may not be issued,
and, hence, no building permit may be issued by this agency.
--
If the sewer connection permit is issued, it may contain sub-
stantive conditions designed to decrease the wastewater associated
with any land use approval.
