RE: San Tomas Gardens Apartments

Campbell, CA 95008
Dear Mr. Spieker:
This letter, concerning the subject property, is written at the request of
EuroPac who has been working with the City of Campbell to investigate the
feasibility of transforming San Tomas Gardens from rental to owned housing.
EuroPac has proposed that San Tomas Gardens be converted from an
apartment building to a residential condominium.
San Tomas Gardens is zoned R-2-S (Multiple Family Residential). In order
for us to consider a condominium project the zoning would have to be
changed to C-PD. The project would have to meet our C-PD Condominium-
Planned Development District which falls under Chapter 21.07 of our Zoning
Ordinance.
The San Tomas Gardens currently falls under a federal HUD Program and as
such represents a significant portion of Campbell's subsidized rental housing
stock. Conversion of this current situation would not be consistent with the
policies established in the Housing Element of Campbell's General Plan. H,
however, you were able to remove the HUD regulations so that the project
was a market rate property, without subsidy or involved with low income
programs, the situation would be different. In that instance your application
for conversion could be considered.
The City of Campbell has not had any recent conversion request. We,
however, do not have a prohibition against conversions.

RE: San Tomas Gardens
Dear Tim:
As you know, Sloane Davis and I have been working diligently with the help of Ruth &
Going to develop the hypothetical plan to convert San Tomas Gardens into a
condominium. We have studied the City of Campbell Code section for a PD zoning and
have met with you and both the Building and the Fire Department.
The result of our study is attached (in draft form). We would appreciate it if you would
review the report attached:
1. Opinion of Market Value of San Tomas Condominium Units
Appendix A showing recently sold condominiums
Appendix B showing condominiums for sale.
2. Political Survey which details the steps to conversion and the proposed
zoning and physical actions which must be undertaken.
3. Conversion Cost Study which details the cost to convert San Tomas
Gardens.
.'

Tim Haley
This report is still in a DRAFT form because we still have some unanswered questions
which we hope you can answer:
A. We assume that a conversion would entail a Negative EIR since the land
use, traffic, occupancy etc. will not change.
B. The PO code does not mention a seismic study. The ORE requires a report
to be submitted by a licensed structural engineer that the structural integrity of the
building was not harmed by the 1989 earthquake. Will the City of Campbell require
more?
C. Will Park Dedication Fees be required? We assumed that these fees are
only for new construction.
D. Are there any other fees or requirements other than building permits that will
be required?
As we have discussed, the HUD appraiser is allowing us to evaluate San Tomas
Gardens as a conversion in order to value it, as required by the new legislation, at its
highest value. If you agree, after reading our report, that San Tomas Gardens could be
converted to a condominium if the owner followed our report, it would be helpful if you
would write a letter to the owner telling him that a conversion is possible. As a
guideline I have provided a sample letter for that purpose. The caveat is in the letter
that such a conversion would only be considered if San Tomas was a market rate and
not a HUD building. As we have discussed, there are no plans to remove San Tomas
from the HUD program; this is merely an exercise for the appraisers.
Thank you for your help throughout the study,
Yours truly,
~Ð \- -

RE: San Tomas Garden Apartments,.825 South San Tomas Aquino Road, Campbell, CA 95008
Dear Mr. Spieker:
This letter, concerning the Subject Property, is written at the request of EuroPac who has been
working with the City of Campbell to investigate the feasibility of transforming San Tomas
Gardens from rental to owned housing. EuroPac has proposed that San Tomas Gardens be
converted from an apartment building to a residential condominium. t, - W

San Tomas Gardens is zoned ~ in Ccuupbdl ;0) ÆWt{ f4fftil] H:.tlui1 zulli~. order for
us to consider a condominium project the zoning would have to be changed to a
Deve1opmclIl. The project would have to meet our C-PD Condominium-Planned Development
District which falls under Chapter 21.07 of our Housing Code.
Of course, currently San Tomas Gardens falls under a Federal HUD program. Under those
circumstances it is unlikely that the City Council would favorably consider your request to
change the zoning. If, however, you were able to remove the HUD Regulations so that the
building was a market rate property, without subsidy or involved with low income programs, the
situation would be different. In that instance your application could be accepted and considered.
The City of Campbell has had no conversion requests in many years. We do not have a
prohibition against conversions. The EuroPac report suggests that the conversion would produce
entry level owned housing. That prospect would be welcomed by our City.
Given the market rate assumptions, your application for conversion to a condominium project
would be approved if the C-PD requirements were satisfied.

Both EuroPac and Ruth and Going Civil Engineers have met with various City Staff people to
review Chapter 21.07. After reviewing the EuroPac report it appears that, if you follow the
recommendations of that report, San Tomas Gardens can meet the provisions of our C-PD
district.
The report addresses the following areas of major concern:
. Open Space Requirements
. On-Site Parking
. Fire Safety and Prevention
. Title 24 Insulation
+' Horizon Guidelines for Handicapped Access Units do not apply to Condominiums
Thus, for the sake of your preliminary planning, it appears that if San Tomas Gardens was a
market rate and not a subsidized building, it is reasonable to assume your application for a
change in zoning would be approved and San Tomas could, with the proper entitlements from
the California Department of Real Estate, be changed from rental to owned housing.

SAN TOMAS GARDENS - POLITICAL SURVEY AND REOUIREMENTS
Background and Zoning:
The San Tomas Garden Apartments were constructed approximately 20 years ago in
the City of Campbell, California at 825 South San Tomas Aquino Road. The property is
in very good physical condition as are the grounds, parking lots and structures. The
property consists of 100 townhouse style apartment units housed in 19 buildings (plus a
recreation/office building) of wood frame construction with a textured plywood exterior
and a pitched roof of wood shingle material.
The resident property-manager, Myriam Alaniz, reports that the property is included in
a HUD subsidized rental program. There is a five year waiting list for most of the units
and she NEVER has rent loss. The unit breakdown is as follows, all units have 1&1/2
bathrooms:
~
~o olUnits
~
2 Bedroom 58 896
3 Bedroom 30 1,078
4 Bedroom 12 1,288
1 00 /'
~Z-7
The subject of this report is to investigate the feasibility and cost of c erting this
rental building to a residential condominium. The property is zoned - which is
Campbell's most dense residential zoning. The City of Campbell doesi'tOt have a ,,~
Conversion Ordinance. Thus, it will be necessary to re-zone the property to a Planned (:: -rÞ)
Development (PD). This is the multi-family zoning (R-3) which will enable the
conversion/transition from rental to owned housing to take place.
In order to evaluate the political and economic feasibility of changing the zoning to PD a
number of people were contacted at the City of Campbell:
Tim Haley, Associate Planner
Frank Cauthorn, Chief Building Official
Dave Kapler, Deputy Fire Chief (Fire Inspector)
David Fox, Chair of the Planning Commission
Don Burr, Mayor
Page 2
Political Survey
Zone Change
Based upon these meetings it appears unlikely that the conversion/transition could take
place without the change in zoning. Thus, the balance of this report assumes that such
re-zoning would need to be accomplished. A Planning Commission Application is
attached as Exhibit A which would need to be completed and submitted as a first step.
Proper documentation would need to be provided with the aid of an architect and a civil
engineer in order to properly complete this form.
Open Space and Parking Requirements
There are certain portions of the PD Zone Code (Chapter 21.07, attached as Exhibit B
and known as the Condominium - Planned Development Distric~ which cannot be met
on the existing site. Since this document was written for new construction, many older,
existing properties cannot meet these requirements. Even though Campbell has not
had an application for a conversion/transition in recent history, there is reason to be
confident that the City Leaders will approve this conversion with some variance from
the Chapter 21.07 code. The Open Space - Residential (Section 21.07.060) calls for
500 square feet of open space for each unit (not including parking). At least 150
square feet of this 500 square feet must be in one location (in this case, 15,000 square
feet). Since San Tomas Gardens has several smaller open space areas it is our
understanding with the Planning Department that a variance will be acceptable for
conformance to this Section. According to the Ruth & Going calculations the Project
now has a total of 68,525 square feet of open space (see EXHIBIT 1 attached).
However, since the granting of a variance is always political, the attached drawings
(see EXHIBIT 2) show this 15,000 located on the adjacent property to be purchased for
the purpose of this conversion.
Example of Open Space Requirements and Provisions:

Page 3
Political Survey
The Parking requirement (Section 21.50.050) calls for 350 spaces on site. Currently
the property has 151 spaces. The Ruth and Going report (attached as EXHIBIT C) will
shed light on the parking situation. By purchasing some adjacent property from Mr. Joe
Elek, the parking requirement can be met. However, since the conversion will not
change the land use nor add extra drivers to the property, it is likely that the City will
allow 300 spaces when they approve the PD. For the sake of this report, however, it is
assumed that the project will supply the full 350 on-site parking spaces. This will mean
that an additional 80,000 square feet of land will be acquired from Mr. Elek's adjacent
parcel to provide the 199 additional required parking spaces at 400 square feet per
space (see EXHIBIT 2 attached). Mr. Elek has agreed to sell this land for $25.00 per
square foot. Thus the parking requirement and the open space requirement will total
approximately 107,000 square feet for a total price of $2,675,000. This figure is
included in the CONVERSION COST SURVEY section of this report.

ENTITLEMENTS:
Obtaining all the entitlements for a conversion requires meeting the State of California
requirements under the Subdivision Map Act. Thus, where there is now one lot it will be
necessary to create 101 lots. Each new owner will own one lot (even though it may be
airspace) and the Corporation known as the Homeowner Association will own the 101st
lot which will be the common area including the land, buildings and parking structures.
In addition, since there is common ownership it will be necessary to have strict scrutiny
by the California Department of Real Estate of the Association Documents such as the
Budget, the C,C&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions), the By-Laws and the
Articles of Incorporation. The entire process of obtaining the Final Public Report
(commonly known as the White Report) through the State of California usually takes six
to nine months. An Estimated Time Report is included in the following pages. The
costs associated with these approvals or entitlements are included in the Conversion
Cost Study portion of this report.
Page 4
Political Survey
The steps required for this conversion from rental to owned Property will be as follows:
1. Approval of this Feasibility Study
2. Municipal Applications
a. Re-zoning
b. Plans Drawn for Building, Public Works and Fire Approvals
c. Submission for Tentative Map Approval
3. Department of Real Estate Application - DRE - (State of California) for the
Final Public Report ("White" Report).
4. Final Map Approval from City of Campbell
5. Conversion Physical Work to Units and Common Area
6. Marketing Units
7. Formation of Homeowner Association (Seat on the Board of Directors)
8 . Continued efforts to Guide the Association and Follow-Up work with Units
and Common Area.
Since the City of Campbell has not acted on a Conversion Application in recent history,
the following time study is an educated estimate:

TO DEVELOPERS WHO PROPOSE TO DEVELOP LAND IN THE SAN TOMAS AREA
(AS INDICATED ON THE ATTACHED MAP):
Please be advised that the City Council has established a policy
regarding development within the San Tomas Area. This policy
results from recommendations received from the San Tomas Task
Force Committee, and after reviewing information received from
the Planning Commission, Parks & Recreation Commission, Civic
Improvement Commission, and other interested citizens.
The policy is directed toward preserving the rural character
of the San Tomas Area. In general, rural character is intended
to encompass such things as:
1.
A low density residential area.
2.
The encouragement of larger-than-minimum lot sizes.
3.
The planting of trees, shrubs, greenery, and other
landscaping materials shall be encouraged with new
developments.
4.
The preservation of existing trees and shrubs with
consistent, continuous maintenance shall be required
for new developments thru the site approval process.
5.
Alternative street improvements may be considered
appropriate in areas where pedestrian and vehicular
safety can be maintained.
6.
Examples of streets which may be classified within
the term "rural atmosphere" are as follows: Emory ~"...,
Ave., Old Orchard Rd., Lucot Way, Audrey Ave. easterly'; '"

Cursory visual observation indicates that the complex is in good condition and has been
regularly maintained. Only one unit was available for visual observation and no testing
of materials or removal of any finishes was possible. .

Approximately fifty condominium units sold over the past year
were studied with statistics and information on 32 of those
units presented in appendix A. Approximately 15 condominium
units currently for sale were toured and analyzed on four
different days to complete the market field work portion of
this Preliminary Feasibility Study. Eleven of the
Condominium units studied are presented in this report in the
narrative that follows as well as appendix 8. Those units
deemed most relevant to the subject property were included.
The area covered included primarily the City of Campbell,
However units in Santa Clara, San Jose, Cupertino, Sunnyvale
and Mountain View were considered. The purpose of the market
study was to determine, within a narrow range, the likely
sale price for units similar to the expected final product
that would be created by conversion of the San Tomas Gardens
Apartments to Condominiums. This market data has been used
to extrapolate the estimated prices for the converted
condominium units for the time period that they are likely to
be sold,( 1994-1995). Photographs are presented where
possibl€~ to (;Jive ttH? rf:~ader a ,"'flavor", for what is
available that may be competition. Conclusions concerning
pI" ices are presented bel C)\o'J. It is the desi re of the
developer in the case of this proposed conversion to appeal
to the first home buyer at entry level prices while providing
amenities that are usually found in much higher priced
condominiums. Among those amenities not usually found at
the prices presented below are a swimming pool, tennis
facilities, one car garages for each unit, central air
conditioning, washer/dryer hookups in each unit and built in
microwave ovens.
A number of factors were taken into account in arriving
at the estimated prices for converted units as presented
below. The data analyzed included:
1. An analysis of sales prices as a function of
amenities offered.
2. Sales price per sq. ft.
'..,°. An analysis o-f "da"y's on the mat-ket" (for sale)

Based upon the data studied and including approximately three
percent per year for inflation, sales prices for converted
apartments at San Tomas gardens should be:

YEAR BUILT 1983
This unit was originally listed at $222,800. Although
the unit, as can be seen in the pictures that follow, shows
rather poorly from the street, I would consider it tough
competition. This unit has two master suites with a half
bath downstairs. There are two decks with a spiral staircase
between the two decks. The unit has a tile entry with a full
tile kitchen and a full tile bath. The fireplace is a full
wall of rock work which seems exceptional for a unit this
size. Although this unit was built in 1983, some features
such as the mansard roof and the recessed lighting in both
the kitchen and the bathrooms, date the unit. The kitchen
has a built in microwave. One disadvantage of the unit is
that the only eating area, gives one the feeling of eating
being in the kitchen. The unit has an attached double garage
with the washer and dryer in the garage. All of the units in
the complex have garden windows which are built into the
wall.

This complex gives the impression of being built very
dense and therefore lacks a certain amount of curb appeal.
In order to get to the front door of the units in this
complex it is necessary to go up one flight of stairs to the
front door. This arrangement makes the entry seem hard to
find and clumsy. The kitchen has a pass through above the
sink as can be Seen in the photographs. The living room has
a wet bar. The unit has direct access to a large two car
garage. There is a deck and the unit is on three levels.
Two disadvantages are that the bedrooms are small with
numerous stairs and the unit has electric baseboard heat.
There is a fireplace, washer/dryer in the garage and the
refrigerator is included in the price.

As with the unit in Tour No.2, in the same complex,
there is the impression of very dense units and therefore the
lack of a certain amount of curb appeal. The bedrooms seem
small and there is a very small deck on the back, upstairs.
On the other side of the building there is a double garage
that enters into the unit. The washer/dryer is located in
the garage. As can be seen in the photographs, the kitchen
looks dated, with very plain cabinet work and formica counter
top. There is a handy pass through to the living area which
gives the kitchen an open feeling. The unit has a fireplace,
but does not feature a microwave. There is a pool and the
unit has a view of the pool as can be seen in the
photographs. This unit would be definite competition with
the attached garage and spacious appearing layout.

This complex gives an excellent presentation from the
street. The unit seems large and is two story with a loft.
Although the loft may have been added after the complex was
built, we believe the unit was constructed originally the way
it presently shows. The loft is reached by a spiral
staircase such that the actual usable space in the loft is
limited. Since the loft is open to both the first and second
floor, its practical usefulness is limited. This unit has
several good features that include a small backyard, a second
fireplace in the master bedroom (shown in the photographs
that follow), a single car garage with access to the unit and
a walk in pantry. The complex does not offer a pool or spa.
The kitchen has a full tile countertop with a built in
microwave. Although the linoleum in the kitchen and the
appliances are in good shape, the entire presentation appears
dated. The bathrooms do not feature tile or shower doors and
also appear dated. With some minor renovation, this unit
would show well and could be tough competition.

This complex has excellent curb appeal from the front
of the unit as well as the street. The buildings are painted
a light blue with a shake roof. The unit has a very nice
tile fireplace in the living room. The kitchen is well
appointed with tile counter tops and a breakfast bar. The
unit is for sale with a microwave which is located in the
upper half of the range. The price of this unit also
includes the refrigerator and washer/dryer. the complex
appears modern both inside and out. Each unit has a single
car garage that is not attached to the units and an assigned
covered carport. The back of the complex is bordered with a
water storage pond which provides a buffer to other homes.
There is a large storage area under the stairs with a stacked
washer/dryer unit. The stairs have a very nice oak railing.
The unit has forced air heating which does not include air
conditioning. The unit has two bedrooms upstairs but no
master bath. The complex has a pool and a spa.

This townhouse end unit shows exceptionally well both
from the street and the interior. The grounds are very
well cared for with mature landscaping. The master bedroom
suite has a fireplace with vaulted ceilings and a retreat
area. The unit is in top condition with full tile in the
kitchen and a microwave oven on top of the range. The
complex does not offer a pool or spa. The unit has a number
of extras including a gas fireplace starter in both
fireplaces, alarm system and ceramic tile floors. The

Both the grounds and this unit show very well. The
complex offers underground parking for two cars per unit and
although the garage is not secure, it is very convenient.
The unit has a ceramic tile entry and a full tile kitchen
counter. Further, the unit is an end unit and has forced air
heating with central air conditioning (a rare amenity at this
price). In order to enter the unit it is necessary to walk
up one flight of stairs since the garage is on the ground
level. Each staircase services two units thereby adding to
the noise level and giving the feeling of apartment living.
The living room has a full wall rock fireplace. The complex
does not have a pool or spa. The bathrooms have been
upgraded since the unit was built with new toilets and shower
doors. All together this unit would be tough competition.

The first impression of the complex is one on openness
and the feeling of entering a home as opposed to an
apartment. There is a one car garage for each unit and
although detached the garage is very close to the front door.
The kitchen is somewhat dated with the original linoleum,
cabinets and recessed fluorescent lightning, however, the
range was in excellent condition with a built in microwave.
The living room had a full corner rock wall fireplace. The
bathrooms were very standard and have not been upgraded since
the complex was built. Although the cabinet work had not
been redone in the bathrooms, the tile work was flush with
the ceiling and in excellent condition. This complex is
directly across the street from the John D. Morgan Park in
Campbell, a old very mature park. This unit would be tough
competition due to the size of the unit if only very minor
cosmetic work was completed.

The complex is quite small with each unit featuring an
attached one car garage. The complex has a shake roof and
a general look of quality with the grounds well kept. The
complex does not feature a pool or spa. Although this unit
is a downstairs unit, the upstairs units have vaulted
ceilings. A vaulted ceiling in the relatively small bedrooms
would give a feeling of openness. The living room has a
fireplace with ceramic tile facing. The unit is a bi-Ievel
which gives the feeling that the bedrooms are situated away
from the living area. The kitchen is small with a breakfast
bar and full tile. The unit does not have a built in
microwave. The cabinets look very plain although they seem
to be in good condition. The light fixture is a dropped
fixture with wood to match the cabinets and looks old
fashioned. There is a gas wall furnace that also gives the
unit an old fashioned look. The unit does not have air
conditioning. The bathrooms have imitation marble and no
shower door in the main bathroom. Both the kitchen and the
bathrooms have linoleum floors. A very nice feature is full
mirrors on a double closet in the hall leading to the master
bedroom. The master bedroom has a double closet in a small
dressing area and another large closet in the master bedroom.
There is a small enclosed patio that you have to go through
to enter the unit. Although the unit has some disadvantages,
this would be definite competition for the proposed
conversion.

with a redwood deck.
There is forced air heat, but no air conditioning. The
kitchen has complete ceramic tile counter including a
breakfast bar and built in microwave. The living room has a
fireplace with ceramic tile facing. The master bath has a
tile shower which reaches up to the top of the glass shower
doors. The sink is imitation marble with a linoleum floor
and the master bath is rather small. This unit is probably
the best use I have seen yet of 900 sq. ft.. This complex
would be definite competition for the proposed conversion.
Since this complex has no garages, that is one of the few
negatives.

The name of this complex is Miramar Plaza. The complex
has excellent curb appeal with a security gate and well
planned directory with security phone system at the gate.
When we visited the complex there were seven units for sale.
The unit we toured overlooks the poll which is very large.
The grounds are very well kept, giving the complex excellent
curb appeal. The unit has forced air heat with central air
conditioning. The unit is a top unit making it two floors up
from the street and there is no elevator. The unit has
vaulted ceilings and a ceramic tile entry. There is a
fireplace in the living room. The unit has a full tile
counter in the kitchen. There is a linoleum floor and the
unit does not have a built in microwave. The kitchen appears
quite large. The master bath has a separate room for the
toilet. The bathroom has a tile step in tub and no shower
door. This unit shows very well. With the amenities
offered, even though the complex does not offer garages,
this complex would be tough competition for the proposed
conversion.
