RE:
Review of your Pre-application (PRE2000-04) regarding the proposed conversion of
warehouse space to office space within a building located at 510 Salmar Avenue
(APN: 279-42-016)
Dear Ms. Hinkle:
The Planning Division has completed review of your Pre-application (PRE2000-04) for the
proposed conversion of warehouse space to office space within an existing building locéited at
510 Salmar Avenue. The subject property is located within a Planned Development (PD)
zoning district and within the North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA) area plan of the City's
General Plan.
Upon review of your Pre-application, the Planning Division has determined that with the
conversion of existing warehouse space of 1,008 square feet to office space, the site would be
deficient of several parking spaces based upon the current parking requirements for the site.
According to your letter, there are currently 21 parking spaces on site. However, with the
conversion of the warehouse space to office space and compliance with current parking
requirements for the site, a total of 62 parking spaces would be required. As a result of this
deficiency, the Planning Division is not supportive of the proposed conversion of this tenant
space to office space as it will intensify an already deficient parking situation.
Planning Staff also received comments from the Fire Department. According to the Fire
Department, there are existing code violations regarding improvements that have been made to
the building without approval by the Fire Department. Please contact Chris Veargason or
Wayne Hokanson of the Santa qara County Central Fire District at (408) 378-4010. Please
note that no approvals will be granted for your proposal by the Fire Department until these
issues have been resolved.
Should you wish to pursue approval of the proposed warehouse space conversion to office <
space, please note that either a completed Use Permit or Planned Development Permit
application must be submitted. A Use Permit application is required if establishment and
conversion of the warehouse space to office space has a construction value of less than
70 North First Street. Campbell, California 95008.1423 . TEL 408.866.2140 . FAX 408.866.8381 . TDD 408.866.2790

$50,000. If the conversion has a construction value of $50,000 or more, then a Planned
Development Permit application is required. Please note that either permit will require
approval through a public hearing process. A Use Permit application will require approval by
the Planning Commission; a Planned Development Permit will require approval by the City
Council.
Please find attached a copy of the PD zoning ordinance, a copy of the NOCA (North of
Campbell Avenue) area plan, a Use Permit application, a Planned Development Permit
application, and pamphlets describing the process for these applications. Should you have any
questions regarding the above referenced comments and/or need additional information, please
do not hesitate to contact me at the Community Development Department at (408) 866-2142.
Sincerely,

FROM:
COMMENTS CONCERNING THE PRELIMINARY APPLICATION:
. The overall site apparently has a substantial shortage of parking.
. The application is to change the land use for 1,008 SF of space from warehouse to office
use.
. The Public Works staff would be supportive of an application to vacate a portion of public
right-of-way where the knuckle has been constructed providing the applicant reconstructs
the street improvements to City standards.
. Based on the application, as submitted, the Public Works Department would probably not
have any Conditions of Approval for a formal application.

~ DEPr.
We are proposing to remodel the existing office area and convert 1.008 S.F. of
existing warehouse space to office space.
There are 7 employees working approximately from 8am to 5pm. The adjacent
tenant space within this building is an automotive wheel distributor. The building
on the adjacent parcel to the west is an office and warehouse.
There are 2 1 existing parking spaces. and because of our conversion from
warehouse to office. 2 more spaces are required. According to the City of Campbell
Municipal Code. 62 spaces would be required for the total building. We are
restriping the existing parking area, which will give us 24 spaces. and if necessary
we can add an additional 26 spaces in the rear storage yard for a total of 50
parking spaces. This obviously falls short of the required 62. but we are hoping an
exception can be made. since the change in our tenant's space only necessitates 2
additional parking spaces and we are adding 3 spaces within the existing parking
area and could add more in the rear. There will be no additional employees. Sierra
Pacific has occupied this space for some time and has indicated the existing parking
is satisfactory.
The parking requirements per city ordinance break down as follows:
Sierra Pacific - 15.360 S.F.
Existing office - 960 S.F. @ 1/225
Existing warehouse - 13.440 s.F. @ 1/400
