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.

Fcug - Now is the time and place regularly set for the 950 West Hamilton public hearing on P-D 72-9, approval of plans, eleva- (Mervyn's Depart- tions and development schedule for a commercial store ment Store) to be located at 950 West Hamilton Avenue in a Planned Development Zone. The Planning Director presented a map delineating the area which contains 8.7 acres. Plans are for construction of a 67,000 sq. ft. department store. There have been minor changes in the plans to eliminate the smaller build- ings at the corner of the lot and add this footage 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. (Ord.868) , - J ¿-j ,'f) \ j , ---- ; The Mayor declared the hearing open. Councilman Chamberlin inquired if the fire hydrants would be hidden by the landscaping and Mr. Kee stated that they would not be. Mr. James Foug, Architect for the project, was present and stated that he would answer any questions the Council might have. Mr. Foug stated that Mr. Mervyn Morris, Chairman of the Board of Directors, was also present and would answer any questions. There being no objections, oral or written, Councilman Doetsch proposes and moves that the hear- ing be closed, seconded by Councilman Chamberlin and unanimously adopted. Ordinance No. 868 is presented for first reading. After the reading of the titlù of the ordinance Councilman Chamberlin proposes and moves that the hearing be closed, seconded by Councilman Paul and unanimously adopted. -2- 04r-"? Qel" Z ì.i .

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.

The evaluation against the HUD standards includes the maximum noise levels for lout of 24 hours (1/24), 8 out of 24 hours (8/24), and 1/2 hour out of 8 hours (.5/8) from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Both existing and future (Year 2000) traffic conditions are shown. - 5 - TABLE II Interior Noise Levels at the Project Site Condition Existing Future Standard Excess San Tomas Expwy.

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 rated 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. - 9 - III. 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. - 11 - Time Period TABLE III San Tomas Expressway Traffic Noise Levels Measured at the Proposed Residential Site Noise Levels. dBA LlO L50 1/24 8/24 .5/8 Leq - - - - 67 62 68 64 68 64 68 63 69 66 69 65 69 64 70 67 69 66 69 65 70 67 70 66 67 62 68 63 68 64 67 61 68 63 68 63 66 60 68 62 67 62 63 56 65 59 64 59 3:00-4:00 p.m. 4:00-5:00 p.m. 5:00-6:00 p.m. 6:00-7:00 p.m. 8:00-9:00 p.m. 9:00-10:00 p.m. 10:00-11:00 p.m. 11:00 p.m.-12:00 mdnt. 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. - 17 - The above report presents the results of the noise assessment study for the planned multi-family development in Campbell.

Instrumentation. Ventilation. and Buildin2 Shell Requirements 1. 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.

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.

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, By CAILLAT & NEVIS DLN:cl '--- -C- cc: Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Metz Dennis Kobza September 21, 1972 TO Honorable City Council FROM Planning Commission 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. AAK:BRP:pka ~ ~;j\J ~lÎ\} P.oD 72-9 Fou~, J. Vi'. A$soriates & 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. seconded by Commissioner Alexander and unanimously adopted. Motion -11- I I J ~ ~ ~ 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 cross section apply. If the Commission believes that all three streets should be included, this could be included in the recommendation to the.City Council. Chairman Hebard stated that the of approval to the City Council walk and landscape treatment on Planning Commission. Commission can make a recommendation with the recommendation that the side- the three streets come back to the Mr. Kee stated that it was his understanding, on the they have been advised in the past, that it would be to modify the cross section.

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 II DENNIS KOBZA & ASSOCIATES. INC. .

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. -.",-"",."-"."""",.",.,,. - ""-"'."--"" -""..._m"...___.-,-. ." ....--,.......-.--...,--.."..".,..

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.

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. City of Campbell, Planning Department Attention: Mr. Steve Piasecki, AICP Director of Planning Regarding: 700 Hamilton Ave. We appreciate the cooperation and suggestions you and the planning staff have extended to us. The information that you have given us will help us expedite the re-zoning process. Please let me know when the traffic engineer can meet with us. Thank you.

I CITY OF CAMPBELL L.-e 70 NORTH FIRST STREET CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA 95008 (408) 866-2100 FAX # (408) 379-2572 Department: Planning Transmitted by FAX July 9, 1992 Jane A. Bierstedt, P.E. Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 100 Park Center Plaza, Suite 450 San Jose, CA 95113 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. Ra al R. Tsuda, AICP Senior Planner Attachment: 1.

HAMILTON JUN 1 9 1992 CITY OF CAMPBELL ----------------------------------------------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.) 2. 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. MQ:DEVLPMNT\700HAMA ~ .!!l ~o f) .. ~ N C7> !!! 221/20 f) "'- C7> I() '"
