Page Two
Other factors pertinent to this application are as follows:
Parking ratio for Phase I and II is one space for each 139 square
feet of building area (485 parking spaces). Phase I would be one
space for each 144 square feet of floor area (427 parking spaces).
The ratio of landscape area to the total site is 10.6%.
Considerable discussion took place at the General Plan hearings con-
cerning the possibility of residential uses on the rear portion of the
subject property. Specifically, duplex lots which would front to
Gale Drive. Also, the Planning Commission recently recommended to the
City Council that the land use for the total parcel be shown as
commercial and/or residential and/or professional offices.
It would seem to the staff in light of all the discussion, and in
particular the discussion relating to density and additional living
units in this area, that the approach taken for commercial development
would be appropriate and discussions with the architect have resulted
in a 20 foot area of landscaping between the right-of-way line of Gale
Drive and the parking area. In addition, a six-foot masonry wall
has been indicated on the plan and the loading area has been depressed
four feet in order that trucks and othel' vehicles at the loading dock
will be less visible.

to the larger building. The Planning Commission ap-
proved the project by a 7-0 vote. Mr. Kee read the
sidewalk requirements for the proposed department
store and referred to Condition K which provides that
the applicant is to provide street improvements along
Gale and Marathon Drives. This would include side-
walks as well as streets, curbs and gutters. Due to
the termination of Gale Drive along the southerly
boundary of the subject parcel and the existing side-
walk across the street, it is recommended that the
sidewalk in this area be deleted. This area would
then be incorporated into an overall landscQpe plan
for the project and provide an even greater buffer
between the residential development on the souths ide
of the street and the proposed commercial development
on the northside of the street. There is no ingr~s~
or egress from Gale Drive to the proposed commercial
development. There would be a 20 foot landscaped area
in lieu of the sidewalk.

Summary of Findin2s
The noise assessment results shown below include an evaluation of the noise
exposures at the site against the applicable standards. The Campbell Noise
Element uses the LlO and L50 descriptors to define acceptable exterior noise levels,
and references U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
standards, Ref. (d), to define acceptable interior noise levels. The LlO and L50
descriptors are those noise levels, in dBA, that are exceeded 10% and 50% of the
time, respectively, during a measurement period. The Campbell standards for
residential areas specify that the LlO and L50 may not exceed 60 dBA and 55 dBA,
respectively, during the daytime (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) and may not exceed 50 dBA
and 45 dBA, respectively, during the nighttime (9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.).
The HUD standards for interior living spaces in residential areas specify that,
with the windows open, the interior noise level may not exceed 55 dBA for more
than 1 hour out of any 24-hour period; may not exceed 45 dBA for more than 8
hours out of any 24-hour period; and may not exceed 45 dBA for more than 1/2
hour during the period from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
The Title 24 standards use the Day-Night Level (DNL) 24-hour noise
descriptor, and apply to all new attached multi-family dwellings. As a final site
design has not yet been established, it is not known whether the units will be
attached or not. An evaluation against the Title 24 standards is included herein in
the event that the units are attached. The Title 24 standards establish an exterior
criterion of 60 dB DNL for the performance of an acoustical analysis. Where
exterior noise exposures exceed 60 dB DNL, mitigation measures are required to
limit interior noise exposures to 45 dB DNL.
- 3 -
The Title 24 standards also specify minimum requirements for the sound
insulation performance of common interior partitions separating different dwelling
units from each other and from common spaces. These standards are described in
Appendix B. As design details of the common interior partitions have not been
developed at this time, an assessment of these partitions has not been performed.
The noise levels shown below are without the application of mitigation
measures and represent the noise environment for the undeveloped site.
A.
Exterior Noise Levels
The exterior noise levels at the minimum planned setback of residential units
from San Tomas Expressway and adjacent commercial areas are shown in Table I,
below. The table includes the highest LlO's and LSO's, and the DNL at the site
under existing and future (Year 2000) traffic conditions.

- 6-
The 60 dB DNL exterior criterion of the Title 24 standards will be exceeded
by up to 9 dB. Thus, an acoustical analysis will be required if attached multi-family
units are constructed on the property. This report is intended to satisfy that
requirement.
II.
Recommendations
In order to achieve acceptable exterior and interior noise levels for
compliance with the Campbell and Title 24 standards, the following measures are
recommended. General building shell control measures, as described in Appendix
B, are also required to achieve maximum noise attenuation.
A.
Exterior Noise Controls
To achieve acceptable noise exposures at exterior living areas, i.e., patios,
decks, and common recreation areas, the following mitigation measures are
recommended:
Arrange the buildings on the site so that the buildings provide
noise shielding from San Tomas Expressway for common
recreation areas, such as pool areas, playgrounds, large lawn
areas, etc.
All decks and patios of units having a direct or side view of San
Tomas Expressway will require complete enclosure to meet the
City of Campbell exterior noise standards.
Due to the extensive amount of noise reduction required to
achieve compliance with the Campbell standards (19 dB), the
use of typical property line noise control barriers will not be
feasible.
- 7 -
Additional noise mitigation measures may be required,
depending on the final site design.
To achieve an acoustically-effective enclosure, it must be constructed air-
tight, i.e., without cracks, gaps, or other openings and provide for long-term
durability. The enclosure can be constructed of any solid, homogeneous material
(wood, masonry, etc.) having a minimum surface weight of 2.0 lbs. per sq. ft. Glass,
lexan, plexiglass or other translucent material may be incorporated into the
enclosure design to provide for light and views. This material must be a minimum
1/4" thick to meet the minimum surface weight requirement. All connections to
deck floors, patio pads, and building facades must be sealed air-tight.
B.
Interior Noise Controls
To achieve acceptable interior noise exposures, the following alternative
window controls are required:
Maintain closed windows and sliding glass doors at all living
units within 110 ft. of the east property line and having a direct
or side view of the roadway. These windows must have a
Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 27 or higher.
Alternatively, these windows may be kept open 50% of the
time for natural ventilation, however, they must have an STC
rating of 38 or higher.
Maintain closed windows and sliding glass doors at all living
units located more than 110 ft. from the east property line and
having a direct or side view of the roadway. These windows
may have any type of glazing.
- 8 -
Alternatively, these windows may be kept open 50% of the
time for natural ventilation, however, they must have an STC
rating of 30 or higher.
The above STC ratings may be obtained with the following window glazings
in an acoustically-effective construction. To achieve an acoustically-effective
construction, the moveable panels must form an air-tight seal with the window
frame when in the closed position. In addition, the window frame must be caulked
to the wall opening with a non-hardening caulking compound to prevent sound
infiltration.
STC 27- A single pane of 1/4" glass or double-pane thermal insulating
window.
STC 30 - A single pane of 1/4" laminated glass or a prefabricated
acoustical window rated STC 30 or higher.
STC 38 - A prefabricated
or higher.
acoustical
window

STC
38
If windows are maintained closed at all times for noise control, some type of
mechanical ventilation should be provided to assure a habitable environment, as
specified by the Uniform Building Code and described in Appendix B. These
windows are to be operable, as the closed requirement does not imply a fixed
condition. The windows requiring noise controls must be provided with good quality
frames that will assure a tight seal to prevent sound infiltration.
All other windows of the project and all bathroom windows may use any type
of glass and be opened as desired.

Site. Traffic and Project Description
The planned development site is located at the southwest corner of Hamilton
Avenue and San Tomas Expressway in Campbell. The site is currently occupied by
a three story commercial office building and surrounding parking lot, and is level
and at grade with surrounding roadways. Residential and commercial development
borders the site to the south and west. San Tomas Aquino Creek runs between the
east site boundary and San Tomas Expressway.
The planned project consists of a general plan amendment which would
change the land use designation of 1.2 acres at the south end of the site from
commercial to medium density residential (6 to 13 units per acre). The existing
commercial building will remain. A land use plan for 10 townhomes has been
developed for the site, however, future plans for the site are tentative until the
general plan amendment is approved and final development plans can be
established. Access to the residential portion of the site will be via Gale Drive,
which borders the southern end of the site.
The existing noise environment at the residential portion of the site is
controlled by vehicle traffic on San Tomas Expressway, which carries an Average
Daily Traffic (ADT) of 40,000 vehicles in the site vicinity, as reported by the Santa
Clara County Traffic Operations Department, Ref.( e). Approval of the general
plan amendment would modify the commercial portion of the site to allow
approximately 250 parking spaces.
- 10-
IV.
Existin~ and Future Noise Levels
To determine the existing noise environment, continuous recordings of the
sound levels were taken at a location 15 ft. from the east property line closest to San
Tomas Expressway. This location corresponds to the planned setback distance of
houses from the roadway. As the commercial building on the site is currently
vacant, noise measurements of commercial activity could not be made. The
recordings were made on October 13, 1992 for a total period of 8 hours and include
representative hours of the daytime and nighttime periods.
The noise level measurements were recorded and processed by a Gen Rad
Company Community Noise Analyzer, which yielded a series of descriptors of the
sound levels versus time, as described in Appendix B. The results of the
measurements are summarized in Table III, below. Shown in the Table are the LlO
and L50 descriptors, i.e., those levels exceeded for 10% and 50% of the time. Also
shown are the 1/24, 8/24, and .5/8 descriptors, Le., those levels exceeded for lout
of 24 hours, 8 out of 24 hours, and 0.5 out of 8 hours, respectively. The continuous
equivalent levels (Leq)' which are used to calculate the DNL, are also included.

As shown in the table, the LlO's varied from 67 to 69 dBA during the daytime
(7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) and from 63 to 67 dBA during the nighttime (9:00 p.m. to
7:00 a.m.). The L50's varied from 62 to 65 dBA during the daytime and from 56 to
61 dBA during the nighttime. The 1/24 descriptor varied from 65 to 70 dBA; the
8/24 descriptor varied from 59 to 67 dBA; and the .5/8 descriptor was measured to
be 64 dBA in the 11:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight time period. The Leq values varied
from 63 to 66 dBA during the daytime period (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and from 59
to 62 dBA during the nighttime period (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) of the DNL index.
Traffic noise diminishes at the rate of 3-6 dB for each doubling of the
distance from the source. Therefore, other locations on the site at greater distances
from the noise sources will have lower noise levels. Additional acoustical shielding
may be provided by the interposed buildings of the project.
- 12 -
Vehicular traffic noise contains a wide spectrum of frequency components
(from 100 to 10,000 Hertz), which is associated with engine, tire, drive-train, and
other sources. The frequency components are centered primarily in the 250 and 500
Hz octave bands and were used in determining the noise control measures
recommended for this project.
Under future traffic conditions, traffic volumes on San Tomas Expressway
are predicted to increase to 60,000 ADT by the Year 2000, based on future p.m.
peak hour traffic projections provided by Santa Clara County, Ref. (t). This 50%
increase in traffic volumes will result in a 2 dB increase in the traffic noise levels
over existing conditions.
v.
Evaluation of On-Site Noise Exposures
A.
Exterior Noise Exposures
The noise exposures at the site will be created primarily by traffic on San
Tomas Expressway, with some additional noise created by activity at the existing
commercial office building. Noise-generating activity at the office building will be
limited to parking lot traffic noise, as there are no loading docks, HV AC equipment,
or other commercial noise sources adjacent to the proposed residential site.
- 13 -
1.
Traffic Noise Levels
To evaluate the on-site traffic noise levels against the City of Campbell and
Title 24 standards, the measured LlO and L50 values were tabulated and the DNL
for the measurement location was calculated by decibel averaging of the Leq's as
they apply to the daily time periods of the DNL index. The Leq levels were adjusted
to represent average traffic conditions in the daily subperiods using methods
established by the Highway Research Board, Ref. (g). The DNL was then
calculated using the mathematical formula shown in Appendix B.
As shown in Table III, the LlO's varied from 67 to 69 dBA during the daytime
and from 63 to 67 dBA during the nighttime. These levels are 7 to 9 dB in excess of
the 60 dBA daytime standard and 13 to 17 dB in excess of the 50 dBA nighttime
standard. As also shown in the table, the L50 values varied from 62 to 65 dBA
during the daytime and from 56 to 62 dBA during the nighttime. These levels are 7
to 10 dB in excess of the 55 dBA daytime standard and 11 to 17 dBA in excess of the
45 dBA nighttime standard. The DNL calculations yielded a DNL of 67 dB at the
measurement location. This exposure level is 7 dB in excess of the 60 dB DNL
exterior criterion of the Title 24 standards, indicating an acoustical analysis will be
required. Under future traffic conditions, the noise levels will increase by 2 dB.
Thus, the noise level excesses will increase by 2 dB under both the Campbell and
Title 24 standards under future traffic conditions.
2.
Commercial Noise Levels
To determine the noise impacts from future activity at the adjacent office
building, reference was made to traffic noise modeling techniques developed by
Caltrans, Ref. (h), and the Highway Research Board, Ref. (g). These noise
modeling techniques were used in lieu of measured noise levels, as the existing
commercial building is vacant and there is no existing commercial activity.
- 14 -
To use the traffic noise modeling techniques, estimates of parking lot traffic
volumes were derived using typical trip generation rates for office buildings. The
peak hour trip generation rates were used as the parking lot would generate the
highest traffic volumes and noise levels during the peak hour periods. An office
building of this size (58,000 sq. ft.) has a typical trip generation rate of 2.24 trips per
1000 sq. ft. of floor area, or 130 trips during the peak hour. This total number of
trips was subsequently split into smaller volumes to represent the traffic volumes on
individual aisles of the proposed parking lot. This division was necessary due the
varying distances of the aisles to the residential site. For a given traffic volume,
traffic noise levels will be lower for aisles at greater distances from the residential
area.
The results of the modeling techniques indicate that parking lot traffic will
generate an LlO of 50 dBA, an L50 of 39 dBA, and a DNL of 48 dB at a 15 ft.
setback distance from the residential/commercial boundary. These levels are within
the 60 dBA LlO' 55 dBA L50' and 60 dB DNL limits of the applicable standards.
The LlO and L50 were evaluated against the daytime limits of the Campbell
standards, as no nighttime activity at the office building is anticipated. It should also
be noted that the parking lot DNL is essentially the background DNL which
currently exists at the site without the influence of San Tomas Expressway traffic
noise, as the calculated Leq values for parking lot noise were low enough (34 to 36
dBA) so that the ambient conditions were not affected.
- 15 -
B.
Interior Noise Levels
1.
Traffic Noise Levels
To evaluate the interior traffic noise exposures against the limits of the City
of Campbell/HUD standards, a 10 dB reduction was applied to the measured
exterior 1/24, 8/24, and .5/8 levels to represent the attenuation provided by a
typical residential building shell with the windows open. As shown in Table III, the
measured 1/24 levels varied from 65 to 70 dBA, the 8/24 levels varied from 59 to 67
dBA, and the .5/8 level was 64 dBA in the period from 11:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight.
With a 10 dB reduction applied, the maximum interior noise levels are a 1/24 of 60
dBA, a 8/24 of 57 dBA, and .5/8 of 54 dBA. Thus, the 1124 levels exceed the 55
dBA standard by up to 5 dB, the 8/24 levels exceed the 45 dBA standard by up to 12
dB, and the .5/8 levels exceed the 45 dBA standard by up to 11 dB in the time
period from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Under future traffic conditions, the interior
noise levels and excesses will increase by 2 dB.
To evaluate the noise exposures against the Title 24 standards, a 15 dB
reduction was applied to the exterior DNL to account for the attenuation provided
by a typical residential building shell under annual average conditions. The annual
average condition assumes that windows with single-strength glass are maintained
open 50% of the time for natural ventilation. Thus, in the most impacted living
spaces closest to San Tomas Expressway, the interior DNL will be 52 and 54 dB
under existing and future traffic conditions, respectively. These noise exposure
levels are up to 9 dB in excess of the Title 24 interior standard.
- 16 -
2.
Commercial Noise Levels
There is no current noise modeling technique which allows the prediction of
the 1/24 and 8/24 descriptors from traffic volume data. However, these levels have
been estimated for the purposes of this report based on the correlation between the
LlO' LSO' 1/24, and 8/24 descriptors found for similar conditions, Le., roadways with
similar traffic volumes and minimal interference from other noise sources. In
general, the traffic noise data indicate that the exterior 1/24 is approximately 5 dB
higher than the LlO and the 8/24 is 2 dB higher than the LSO' Thus, parking lot
traffic will generate an exterior 1/24 of 55 dBA and an exterior 8/24 of 42 dBA
during the peak traffic hours at the 15 ft. residential setback. With a 10 dB
reduction applied for the open window interior condition, the interior noise levels
will be a 1/24 of 45 dBA and a 8/24 of 32 dBA. With a 15 dB reduction applied to
the exterior DNL of 48 to represent annual average interior conditions, the interior
DNL will be 33 dB. These levels are in compliance with the 55 dBA 1/24, 4S dBA
8/24, and 4S dB DNL HUD and Title 24 interior standards. Thus commercial noise
impacts will not be significant, and mitigation measures will not be required.
As exterior and interior noise excesses will occur from San Tomas
Expressway traffic sources, mitigation measures to control these excesses will be
required. The recommended measures are described in Section II of this report.
The study findings and recommendations for present conditions are based on
field measurements and other data, and are correct to the best of our knowledge.
Future noise level predictions are based on traffic projection data provided by Santa
Clara County. Significant deviations in the predicted traffic volumes or other future
changes beyond our control may produce long-range noise results different from our
estimates.

Noise Standards
A.
City of Campbell Noise Standards
The City of Campbell Noise Element specifies the LlO and Lso statistical
descriptors for the daytime and nighttime periods to identify noise levels as
Normally Acceptable" for residential land use, as follows:
Exposure
Time Period
0700-2100 hours 2100-0700 hours
LlO
Lso
60 dBA
55 dBa
50 dBA
45 dBA
The LlO and Lso are those levels that are exceeded for 10% and 50% of the
recording time during the measurement period.
The interior noise standards reference the HUD standards, as described
below.
B-1
B.
HUD Standards
The HUD standards referred to in the City of Campbell Noise Element are
not the standards currently used by HUD, but refer to an older set of standards that
were in force at the time the Noise Element was approved. These older standards
consider existing and projected noise exposures in sleeping quarters to be
acceptable if the total noise levels from exterior and interior sources:
do not exceed 55 dBA for more than an accumulation of 60
minutes in any 24 hour period, and
do not exceed 45 dBA for more than an accumulation of 8
hours in any 24 hour period, and
do not exceed 45 dBA for more than an accumulation of 30
minutes during the nighttime hours from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00
p.m.
B-2
c.
Title 24 Noise Standards
The California Code of Regulations, "Sound Transmission Control", Title 24,
Part II, applies to all new multi-family dwellings including condominiums,
townhouses, apartments, hotels and motels. The standards, which utilize the Day-
Night Level (DNL) descriptor, establish an exterior reference or criterion level of 60
dB DNL, and specify that multi-family buildings to be located within an annual
DNL zone of 60 dB or greater require an acoustical analysis. The analysis report
must show that the planned buildings provide adequate attenuation to limit
intruding noise from exterior sources to an annual DNL of 45 dB or less in any
habitable space. The Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) descriptor, which
is similar to the DNL, may also be used, as the DNL and CNEL are considered to
be equivalent.
The Title 24 standards also establish minimum sound insulation
requirements for interior partitions separating different dwelling units from each
other and dwelling units from common spaces such as garages, corridors, equipment
rooms, etc. The common interior walls and floor/ceiling assemblies must achieve a
minimum Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 50 for airborne noise.
Common floor/ceiling assemblies must achieve an Impact Insulation Class (IIC)
rating of 50 for impact noise. These ratings are based on laboratory tested
partitions. Field tested partitions must achieve ratings of NIC and FIIC 45.
B-3
2.
Terminolo2,Y
A.
Statistical Noise Levels
Due to the fluctuating character of urban traffic noise, statistical procedures
are needed to provide an adequate description of the environment. A series of
statistical descriptors have been developed which represent the noise levels
exceeded a given percentage of the time. These descriptors are obtained by direct
readout of the Community Noise Analyzer. Some of the statistical levels used to
describe community noise are defined as follows:
LlO
A noise level exceeded for 10% of the time,
considered to be an "intrusive" level.
L50
The noise level exceeded 50% of the time
representing an "average" sound level.
40
The noise level exceeded 90 % of the time,
designated as a "background" noise level.
Leq
The continuous-equivalent level is that level of a
steady noise having the same energy as a given
time-varying noise. The Leq thus represents the
decibel level of the time-averaged value of sound
energy or sound pressure squared. The Leq is
the noise descriptor used to calculate the DNL
and CNEL descriptors.
B-4
B.
Day-Nieht Level (DNL)
Noise levels utilized in the standards are described in terms of the Day-Night
Level (DNL). The DNL rating is determined by the cumulative noise exposures
occurring over a 24-hour day in terms of A-Weighted sound energy. The 24-hour
day is divided into two subperiods for the DNL index, i.e., the daytime period from
7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the nighttime period from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. A 10
dBA weighting factor is applied (added) to the noise levels occurring during the
nighttime period to account for the greater sensitivity of people to noise during
these hours. The DNL is calculated from the measured Leq in accordance with the
following mathematical formula:
DNL = [(Ld+ 10l0g1O15) & (Ln + 10+ 10l0g1O9)] - 10l0gl024
Where:
Ld = Leq for the daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.)
Ln = Leq for the nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.)
24 indicates the 24-hour period
& denotes decibel addition.
B-5
c.
A-Weiehted Sound Level
The decibel measure of the sound level utilizing the "A" weighted network of
a sound level meter is referred to as "dBA". The "A" weighting is the accepted
standard weighting system used when noise is measured and recorded for the
purpose of determining total noise levels and conducting statistical analyses of the
environment so that the output correlates well with the response of the human ear.
3.
Instrumentation
The on-site field measurement data were acquired by the use of a GenRad
Company Community Noise Analyzer, which provides a direct readout of the L
exceedance statistical levels including the equivalent-energy level (Leq)' Input to
the analyzer was provided by a microphone extended to a height of 5 ft. above the
ground. The "A" weighting network and the "Fast" response setting of the analyzer
were used in conformance with the applicable standards. All instrumentation was
acoustically calibrated before and after field tests to assure accuracy.
8-6
4.
Ventilation Requirements
Ventilation requirements to be applied when windows are maintained closed
for noise control are specified in the Uniform Building Code (UBC), 1985 edition,
Section 1205 as follows:
"In lieu of required exterior openings for natural ventilation, a
mechanical ventilating system may be provided. Such system
shall be capable of providing two air changes per hour in all
guest rooms, dormitories, habitable rooms, and in public
corridors. One-fifth of the air supply shall be taken from the
outside".
Based on our previous experience, a "summer switch" on the furnace fan is
normally considered acceptable as a ventilation system by FHA and other agencies.
Air-conditioning is also an acceptable system.
B-1
5.
Buildine Shell Controls
The following additional precautionary measures are required to assure the
greatest potential for exterior-to-interior noise attenuation by the recommended
mitigation measures. These measures apply at those units where closed windows
are required:
Unshielded entry doors having a direct or side orientation
toward the primary noise source must be 1-5/8" or 1-3/4" thick,
insulated metal or solid-core wood construction with effective
weather seals around the full perimeter. Mail slots should not
be used in these doors or in the wall of a living space, as a
significant noise leakage can occur through them.
If any penetrations in the building shell are required for vents,
piping, conduit, etc., sound leakage around these penetrations
can be controlled by sealing all cracks and clearance spaces
with a non-hardening caulking compound.
Fireplaces should be provided with tight-fitting dampers.

Attention:
Mr. Steve Piasecki, AICP, Director of Planning
Regarding:
700 Hamilton Office Building
and Gale Residential Drive
Dear Steve,
In answer to your request yesterday, I am submitting the background
and reasons for filing documents for a general plan amendment,
residential zoning (medium density 6-13 units per acre), parcel map
and site development permit for the re-configured parking lot at
the existing office building at 700 Hamilton Ave.
The present property zoned C-2-S has a total land area of 3.46
acres and has approximately 250 cars.
The Owners of the property decided to have our office do a
feasibility study of the site to determine how the site parking
could be re-configured to a more efficient design and convert
balance of the site to medium density residential.
Our study proved out that we could maintain the required parking of
approximately 250 cars for the existing office building and devote
1.2 acres along Gale Drive to a residential development.
The site plans now on file with your department for the site
development permit meets all of the requirements of the existing
office site and our studies further show that a quality residential
development fronting on Gale Drive is feasible and desirable.
We have filed all of the necessary documents and the owner has paid
all of the required fees to accomplish the general plan amendment,
zoning change, site development permit for the office site and a
parcel map to reflect the new boundaries for the C-2-S and
residential zones.
I understand that the first meeting before the Planning Commission
is schedule for December 8, 1992.

Project Scheduling for 700 West Hamilton Avenue
----------------------------------------------------------
Assuming the City Council acts regarding the General Plan Amendment at its
meeting of October 20, 1992, the following schedule would apply to the
proposed development at 700 West Hamilton Avenue:
The Planning Commission filing deadline of October 28, 1992, would place
the General Plan Amendment, Zoning Change, Planned Development
Permit, Subdivision Map and Site Approval application on the December 22,
1992, Planning Commission meeting. If, however, the Planning Commission
cancels this meeting due to its closeness to the Christmas holidays, the next
Planning Commission meeting would be January 12, 1993. The project as
currently presented would require the following approvals:
1.
Site and Architectural Permit to re-configure the parking and
landscaping, in conjunction with the existing office building on the
north portion of the site.
General Plan Amendment changing the landuse element from
Commercial to Low-Medium Density Residential on the southerly
portion of the site.
Zone Change on the southerly portion if the site from C-2-S to PD
(Planned Development).
Planned Development Permit to allow the construction of Townhomes
on the southerly portion of the site.
Subdivision Map allowing the parcelization of the residential portion of
the project and/or the subdivision of the southerly portion into
Townhouse lots and the creation of the remaining commercial lot.

Council at its meeting of January 19, 1993, for first reading and February 2,
1993, for the second reading of the ordinance. On the other hand, if the
Planning Commission cancels its December meeting, the City Council could
consider the application at its meeting of February 2, 1993, for first reading,
and February 16, 1993, for second reading.

Our File Number: 31659-92-01
Dear Mr. piasecki:
I wish to thank you for your letter of September 16, 1992,
however, I am quite concerned about your statement as set forth
therein that the city council must review and consent to consider
General Plan Amendment proposals prior to formal filing of the
application. As we have previously discussed, timing is critical
to the tentative settlement reached with Home Savings, and
accordingly it is imperative that the application be immediately
filed. with this in mind, we would appreciate whatever
assistance your office can give in placing this matter on the
City Council's agenda at the earliest possible date. We
understand that the City Council will be meeting on or about
October 7, 1992 and would hope that the General Plan Amendment
proposals may be submitted to the City Council for its review at
such time.
We appreciate your continued cooperation and courtesy shown
in the handling of this matter.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT:
SIDEWALK REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSED
MERVYN'S DEPARTMENT STORE TO BE
LOCATED AT 950 WEST HAMILTON AVENUE
IN A P~D ZONE. (P-D 72-9)
DISCUSSION:
On September 18, 1972, the Planning Commission approved
on a 7-0 vote plans for a Mervyn's Department Store to be
located on the southwest corner of Hamilton and Marathon.
Condition ilK" provides that the applicant is to provide
street improvements along Gale and Marathon Drives. This
would include sidewalks as well as streets, curbs and
gutters.
Due to the termination of Gale Drive along the southerly
boundary of the subject parcel and the existing sidewalk
across the street, it is recommended that the sidewalk in
this area be deleted. This area would then be incorporated
into the overall landscape plan for the project and provide
an even greater buffer between the residential development
on the south side of the street and the proposed commercial
development on the north side of the street. There is no
ingress or egress from Gale Drive to the proposed commercial
development.
Additionally, it is recommended that the staff investigate
possible alternatives to the standard ten foot monolithic
sidewalk that is proposed for Hamilton Avenue and Marathon
Drive. The architect for the commercial project has indicated
his willingness to work with staff on possible alternatives
to the standard sidewalk.

This is the time and place for public heario[
on the application of James W. Foug and Associate3
for approval of plans~ elevations and develnþmqnt
schedule for Mervyn's Department Store to be
locateà at Y5û West HamìlLon Avenue in a P-D Zone.
Chairman H~bard asked Mr.Ke~ for his comments.
Mr. Kee presented a map showing the location of the subject property
and a plot plan showing the location of the proposed building. The
staff recommendation is for approval subject to all the conditions
outlined in the staff report. The proposal is for a twö-phase commercial
development, which totals 67,600 square feet of area. The first phase
consists of a department store with a floor area of approximately
62~000 square feet. Conditions of site approval will bring the plans
which have not been submitted at this time back before the P~anning
Commission for site approval. Both phases are proposed to be
under construction within one year.
There was discussion at the Architectural Review Committee meeting that
perhaps the 10 foot sidewalk area might be recommended to the City
Council for landscaping area. This would result in a 30 foot area of
landscaping to Gale Drive. Mr. Kee reviewed the building materials
and presented an artist's rendition of the proposed building.
Chairman Hebard ~sked Mr. Kee about the east property line bordering
single family houses.
Mr. Kee adv!sed that one condition listed in the staff report requ~res
that the property be fenced and landscaped as indicated on the plans.
The corner of the masonry wall will be extended around the corner
of Marathon. There is a masonry wall along the west elevation that
is adjacent to single family homes. He further advised that both
Gale anà Marathon Drives would be completed. They are both half
streets at the present time.
Chairmán Hebard asked Mr. Kee about hiG comments regarding the side-
walk along Marathon Drive.
-9-
Mr.Kee stated that at another commercial development which indi-
cated a sidewalk along Salmar Avenue, the Commissjon did recommend
to the City Council that the landscaping be extended out into the
street right of way. In this case, there would be no access from
the commercial development to Gale Drive. There would be a masonry
wall. It would seem that there would be no need .for a sidewalk.
There is a sidewalk existing on the south side of Gale Drive. The
recommendation is that the 10 foot sidewalk area be included in the
landscape area. In terms of total area they have 10.6% indicated
in landscaping. This would be in excess of what the ordinance
requires for a commercial development. This is a gross landscape
area that is indicated. The parking would be more than adequate
in terms of ordinance requirements.
Commissioner Larson questioned whether there was landscaping pro-
vided along Marathon and Hamilton. Mr. Kee advised that the plans
indicate that there would be a 10 foot landscape strip along either
street. It would widen out at the intersection of Marathon and
Hamilton.
Chairman Hebard asked Mr. Helms his opinion as to theOnecessity
of the sidewalk.
Mr. Helms stated taht this is the first time he has heard the suggestion
that the sidewalk be omitted. He thought that the elements of the
sidewalk could be worked out with the Planning Director. However,
he added that it may be necessary to reserve an area north of the
curve for some utilities. It is their intent to construct a standard
.
street.
Chairman Hebard asked how far the landscaping would be from the
curb line to the wall. Mr.Kee replied that it would be 23 feet.
Chairman Hebard asked who would be responsbile for the maintenance
of the landscaping. Mr. Kee advised that the applicant had indi~
cated that they would be agreeable to maintaining the landscaping.
Commissioner Stewart stated that it was the feeling of the Archi-
tectural Review Committee that the view from Gale Drive would be
enhanced more by landscaping than by sidewalks.
Chairman Hebard declared the public hearing open and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in support of the application.
Mr. James Foug, architect and planner, stated that his company
prepared the plans on behalf of Mervyn's Department Store. In
planning the project they took into consideration the surroundding
land uses and in particular the duplexes across Gale DRive. In
developing the plan it was decided that rather than extend the
development to the property line, they moved the masonry Hall in
thirteen feet and put in landscaping toward the curb. If the City
wishes to have an addiTional ten feet of landscaping in lieu of the
-10-
of the sidewalk, the applicant is agreeable. This would raise the
landscaping well over the ordinance requirements.of 10%. The
other three sides have a continuous ten foot strip of landscaping
and there is also landscaping within the parking rows.
Commiss ioner Stewart stated that the Architectural Review Committee
was concerned about the landscaping on the west side to include
some adequate screening for the residential area on the west.
It was felt that the landscaping plan should come back to the
Planning Commission for approval in more detail.
Mr. Foug stated that they would be happy to submit a detailed land-
scape and irrigation plan.
Commissioner Arexander stated that the question of sidewalks has
been discussed previou~ly. He as of the opinion that sidewalks around
shopping centers are never used. He thought this would be a great
opportunity to do some trading - sidewalks for landscaping.
Mr. Helms, stated that the parcel at tohis time is noOt .fully improved.
There is only a half street on Marathon and they would require a
commercial type sidewalk on both Hamilton and Marathon frontages.
Discussion took place as to the merits of sidewalks and the ordinance
requirements for sidewalks in commerci~l areas.
Chairman Hebard asked if anyone else wished to be heard.
Mr. L. M. Farasyn, Attorney a't Law, 660 W.' Dana Street, Mountain Viet-r,
~epresenting Mr. Pruvich, stated tha~ 'the development meets the wishes
of the Planning Commission and the owner and he requested that the
recommendation of approval be made to the City Council by the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Harry Lewis, 850 Springfield Drive, spoke in oPP9sition to the
project. He did not think a brick wall was adequate buffering between
two types of developments. He stated he would like to see duplexes
on the north half of Gale Drive. He stated that in his opinion the
building was pushed too far back on the lot. He asked if the second
phase of the development is proposed for a service station. He was
definitely against another service station in the area.
Mr. M.Morris, Chairman of the Board of Mervyn's Department Store,
advised that there would not be a service station in Phase II as
long as he had anything to do with Mervyn's. They are interested
in a high-class development. They would be interested in developing
Phase II for a financial institution.
Commissioner Larson moved that the public hearing be closed.

Chairman Hebard stated that the Commission could act on the
application with the condition that the detailed landscape plan
come back before the Commission, and possibly this condition
should also include the sidewalk treatment.
Commiss~ner Alexander suggested that the architect and the
staff get together and work out something that the City would
be proud of.
Chairman Hebard asked Mr. Kee if he could see any problems.
Mr. Kee suggested that the Commission include in their recommendation
that the Gale Drive part be considered by the City Council similar
to the condition included in the Federated Department Store approval.
The street cross sections are pretty much set out. The last time
the Planning Commissiori did recommend to the City Council that this

land which has an area of about 8.0 acres. The first phase consists
of a department store with a floor area of around 62,000 square feet.
The second phase is indicated for a free-standing commercial use,
either a restaurant or financial institution. A condition of site
approval will bring the plans which have not been submitted at this
time back before the Planning Commission for site approval. Both
phases are proposed to be under construction within one year.
The Phase I building is 26 feet high at the highest point with a
typical elevation being twenty feet. The building materials are
listed as follows:
North Elevation - (Hamilton Avenue)
Split face integral colored concrete block typical, glass panels and
a pre-finished textured metal fascia. Concrete columns and panels
are indicated at either side.
East Elevation - (Marathon Drive)
The same materials as the front elevation. The metal fascia is smaller
in area, and an entrance is shown with a smaller area also devoted to
glass panels.
South Elevation
Integral colored concrete block. Cement plaster at rear of canopy.
The loading area has been depressed four feet.
West Elevation
Same as the east elevation.

Subject: 700 West Hamilton Avenue
Dear Mr. Nevis;
Thank you for your letter of September 9, 1992 outlining your clients desire to
subdivide the property at 700 West Hamilton Avenue in Campbell. Prior to
considering proposals to subdivide commercially zoned property, it is necessary to
identify how the property will be developed. Development of a rear parcel for
commercial uses would raise many questions relating to traffic and commercial
impacts on the neighborhood.
I have met with Leonard and Sylvia Metz and their architect Dennis Kobsa. Mr.
and Mrs. Metz indicate they wish to utilize the rear portion for a residential use.
A residential use would be more compatible with the predominately residential
neighborhood, but it requires amendment of the General Plan Land Use
designation from commercial to residential. Additionally, it is necessary to
demonstrate how the remaining land area can accomodate parking and
landscaping for the office building.
Mr. Kobsa has developed a site plan which demonstrates a revised parking and
landscape layout for the front parcel and a rear parcel of approximately 1.12 acres
and a parcel depth of 145 feet, to accomodate future residential uses. The parcel
depth approximately corresponds to the depth of the adjoining residential parcel
and appears to be large enough to reasonably accomodate residential uses within
the 6-13 dwelling unit per acre land use category. Also, this density range is
consistent with existing residential uses along Gale Drive.
The City Council must review and consent to consider General Plan Amendment
proposals prior to formal filing of the application. This procedure saves applicants
from filing frivolous applications that the Council may not be willing to consider
for a variety of reasons. The concept of residential uses on the proposed 1.12 acre
rear parcel has merit and the proposed site plan appears to reasonably address the

& Gale Drive Townhouse
Dear Steve,
Last Friday September 11, 1992 we submitted another revised site
plan for the office parking (Parcel One) for your review.
After our conversation last Friday, I have incorporated your
suggestions on parking lot re-configuration and we end up with a
145' deep residential lot.
You indicated that we should concentrate on a residential scheme
that uses the entire Gale frontage with as much depth as possible.
I am submitting herewith a parking lot scheme that has 243 (250
required) cars, along with 3 different conceptual schemes for the
townhouse lot(s).
As you know we are anxious to get a site plan that you will support
for the re-zoning process.
Please let me know if this latest site plan meets all of the
criteria that you gave me on the phone last Friday.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. piasecki:
I am writing to provide some additional background with
regard to the recent application of Leonard and Sylvia Metz to
subdivide the above-referenced real property into two separate
parcels, as more particularly set forth in the letter of Dennis
Kobza & Associates dated September 4, 1992.
As we discussed, the above-referenced real property has been
the subject of litigation between the Metzes and Home Savings of
America, which holds the First Deed of Trust on the property.
This litigation has substantially contributed to the inability of
the Metzes to relet or remodel the premises on a viable basis and
will continue to do so unless the litigation is brought to a
close. In recognition of this, the Metzes and Home Savings of
America have entered into a tentative settlement, which is
subject to various conditions including the approval of Home
Savings of America's loan committee. Another condition which is
material to the settlement is the proposed subdivision enabling
the property to be divided into two separate parcels. Under the
terms of the proposed settlement, Home savings of America would
ultimately take title to the front parcel, which is improved by
the existing three-story building containing approximately 56,448
square feet of space. The proposed new parcel to be created in
accordance with the subdivision plan being submitted by the
Metzes, would ultimately be acquired and developed by the Metzes.

At our recent conference you advised that it was possible to
accomplish the subdivision within a time period of approximately
two to three months, dependent upon how quickly the applicant
supplied all the necessary information to enable the Planning
Department to respond thereto. As the timing is quite critical
to the tentative settlement and the approval of Home Savings of
America's loan committee, I would appreciate receiving a letter
from your office outlining the procedural steps to be taken and
the estimated time necessary for the applicant to effectuate the
subdivision. In preparing the schedule, I believe you may
rightfully assume that the applicant will expedite the completion
of all studies and submittals required by the City, as our
clients have been assured by Mr. Dennis Kobza that his office
would give this matter the highest priority to assure that all
requirements are satisfied on an expeditious basis consistent
with the highest professional standards.
I wish also to express my personal appreciation for the
courtesy shown to the Metzes by you and your staff on this
matter. I am quite positive that with the urgency placed on this
matter by the Metzes and continued cooperation of the City, the
proposed subdivision will be able to be completed within a time
consistent with the spirit of the settlement agreement reached by
the parties.
If I can provide any further information related to the
proposed settlement between the parties, please feel free to give
me a call.
Sincerely,

Regarding:
700 Hamilton Ave.
Dear Steve,
As you know, on September 2, 1992 we filed a parcel map to divide
the above referenced site in order that the rear portion on Gale
Drive can be developed separately.
As we explained at our meeting with you this morning, our objective
is to re-zone the Gale Drive portion (.875f acres) to a medium
density (6-13 units per acre) townhouse development.
You indicated that one of the requirements of a general plan
amendment and re-zoning would be to develop conceptual plans for
the site and also one of the City's requirements would be to
provide a traffic analysis to support our proposal.
Would you please ask your Traffic Engineer to provide us with a
"scope of work letter" so that the traffic consultant can start
work.
You indicated that the City may choose to retain the traffic
consultant. The Owners do not have a problem with that procedure;
however, we want to receive the "traffic scope letter" as soon as
possible.
As discussed, we will be presenting conceptual site plans to you
next week for your comments.

SUBJECT:
700 W. Hamilton Avenue, Campbell
Dear Jane:
As we discussed on the telephone, I am providing you a scope of work for a
parking demand study for 700 W. Hamilton Avenue, Campbell. I
understand that the property owner intends to utilize one-half of the building
for offices and the remainder for Gold's Gym. As the City does not have a
specific parking ratio for gyms, the purpose of the study is to analyze the
parking demand characteristics for this type of use.
The conceptual site plan for the proposed application assumes a parking ratio
of 1 space/225 square feet which is Campbell's parking ratio for offices (251
total spaces). At a minimum, staff believes the office ratio should be
maintained in the event that the Gold's Gym tenant space must be converted
back to offices in the future.
SCOPE OF WORK
The consultant shall prepare a parking study for the subject project to
determine the parking demand for the proposed uses.
.
The consultant should confirm the building size and square footage of
each use with the property owner or applicant.
.
The consultant will survey and document the parking demand at three
Letter to Jane Bierstedt -- Barton-Aschman
Page -2-
July 9,1992
Gold's Gym facilities in Santa Clara County during the period of 7:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m. Parking demand observations shall be recorded every 30
minutes. The survey shall be conducted on Gold's Gym's busiest
weekday.
.
Based upon the surveys, the consultant shall prepare the anticipated
parking demand curve for the proposed Gold's Gym and specify a
recommended parking ratio. The curve shall be adjusted to
accommodate a 10% safety margin.
.
Should parking demand exceed a ratio of 1 space/225 square feet, the
consultant should conduct a shared parking analysis for the proposed
gym and offices.
.
To determine the parking demand for the office component, the
consultant should utilize data from existing parking demand
surveys for three office buildings within Santa Clara County. The
survey must have been completed in the last five years. The
parking demand analysis must be based upon fully occupied
buildings.
.
The office parking demand curve should be adjusted to reflect a
demand rate of 1 space/225 square feet (Campbell's parking ratio for
offices).
.
The consultant will determine total parking demand for each 30
minute interval by totaling the parking demand for the office and
gym uses to determine if the demand can be accommodated by 251
parking spaces.
Let me know if you need additional information or have questions on this
scope of work. You may contact me at (408) 866-2140.

----------------------------------------------p~Nm"~~~---
The following is in response to the specific questions you
raised regarding this application:
1.
The potential of a grade separation at San Tomas
Expressway and Hamilton Avenue has only been identified
as a need in the County's 2010 plan. The concept for a
grade separation at the Hamil ton/San Tomas Expressway
intersection could be accomplished by using a box
interchange design, where local streets are used for
access/egress from the Expressway. The dedication along
Gale Drive has already been taken to accomodate the box
ramp configuration. (Dedications for the other box ramps
have also been secured, as shown on the attachment.)

Since it is included in the 2010 plan, it appears grade
separation at this location is likely - the timing is
uncertain and depends on many factors mostly beyond our
control. At this point, it is a post 2000 need, and an
unfunded need. However, by maintaining the right-of-way
necessary for implementing the box ramp concept, we may
put ourselves in a better position to have the grade
separation constructed, if and when the County is ready
to do so.
3.
With regards to elimination of the driveway, there are
two scenarios that need to be considered.
If the streets shown on the attachment are to become part
of the box interchange design, these streets would be
classified as arterial streets. In this case, the
driveway from the commercial development is appropriate.
If the streets shown on the attachment do not become part
of a box interchange design, then their classification
would remain local access streets. In this case, we
would not support the access/egress from commercial
development onto Gale Drive.
The current classification of the streets identified for
the box interchange, including Gale Drive, are local
access streets. This is not anticipated to change with
the upcoming General Plan update or the update to the
Transportation Element.
The larger Planning/Land Use issue is whether or not a
residential use should be approved along Gale Drive, knowing
that this street may become an arterial if the box interchange
concept becomes a reality.
This issue needs to be discussed further between Planning and
Public Works staff.
