ZIEN FOR HOME CHURCH. FILE NO. PLN2000-24.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2000-24.
1. The proposed meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms a permitted with the
granting of a Conditional Use Permit in the C-2-S zoning district.
2. The proposed meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms are consistent with the
commercial land use designation of the General Plan and the C-2-S (General Commercial)
zoning designation for the site.
3. The use of the site for a period of two years for meeting rooms, recreational facilities and
classrooms in the proposed tenant locations will not have an adverse affect on the existing
retail and office uses located at the shopping center or other commercial uses in the vicinity.
4. The meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms, subject to the conditions of
approval, are compatible with the adjacent land uses and the surrounding neighborhood.
5. There is sufficient parking on the site to accommodate the meeting rooms, recreational
facilities and classrooms that will occupy former retail tenant spaces. The varying times for
these activities will not conflict with the parking requirements of the other uses in the
shopping center.

demand on city services.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes

center. That limited term Use Permit is now expired.
· Since the Home Church first occupied this site, they have purchased additional parcels within
the shopping center and are now seeking a limited term Conditional Use Permit to allow all
their parcels to be used for recreational activities, classroom uses and meetings in conjunction
with the Home Church.
· Council held a Study Session to discuss Home Church's public-facilities use of property that
is designated as Retail/Commercial in the General Plan. Council express support for Home
Church but suggested a market study to support the loss of retail space to the City.
· Advised that Home Church is successful in membership and that their site has plenty of
parking to meet the Church's needs. In fact there is a surplus of 150 spaces.
· The proposed hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily with no restriction.

· Conditions of Approval limit noise issues and allow the Community Development Director
to modify the use if noise issues or parking issues arise.
· The applicants will have six months to implement the alley repaving required under
Condition of Approval No.8. This will allow them the opportunity to work with adjacent
parcel owners.

within this center.
Ms. Sharon Fierro, Community Development Director, replied that the Home Church owns five
parcels. In addition to the Home Church, there are two restaurants operating within the shopping
center.
Chairperson Gibbons asked if any structural changes are occurring with this application and, if
not, why Conditions of Approval are included requiring building permits.
Ms. Sharon Fierro replied that the applicants have stated that no exterior structural changes will
occur. The Conditions of Approval for building permits are standard Fire and Building
req uirements.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow
recreational activities, classroom uses and meetings in several tenant spaces located in the
Campbell Shopping Center.
The project site is located on the west side of South Winchester Boulevard between Hamilton
and Latimer A venues. The site is surrounded residential apartments to the south and west and by
various retail uses on the east across Winchester Boulevard.
BACKGROUND
Since the early 1980's the Home Church has acquired several parcels in the Campbell Shopping
Center. The site is currently designated for retail commercial use. The Community
Development Department has advised them that a change in use of this site to expand their
existing church would require a General Plan and Zoning Amendment to a Public/Quasi-Public
designation.
In 1981 the Home Church established the sanctuary at the north end of the shopping center. In
1988 the church requested permission to operate a youth center in tenant space at 1739 S.
Winchester Boulevard. A Use Permit was granted for an initial two-year period. The limited
term was based on a letter from the Redevelopment Agency Executive Director that a permanent
change of the Campbell Shopping Center to a non-profit use would adversely affect sales tax
revenues and was contrary to the Redevelopment Plan for the site. There was also significant
opposition to the project from other tenants. The temporary use permit was extended for an
additional four years and expired on October 1994. Since that time the church has discussed
possible expansion plans with City staff.
The Church does not have immediate plans to expand the church campus but would like to make
use of the tenant spaces acquired over the years. In order to obtain policy direction from the City
Council concerning this project, the City Council held a study session on April 4, 2000 to hear
the church's plans. The Council recommended that the Church pursue a temporary use permit to
allow the use of the property they have acquired for a two-year period of time. At the end of the
temporary use permit period, the church could bring forward a General Plan Amendment and
Zoning Amendment to redesignate a portion of the site for Public/Quasi-Public use to expand
their sanctuary into a church campus.
ANALYSIS
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of May 23,2000
PLN2000-24- 1739, 1755, 1765 and 1799 South Winchester Boulevard
Page 3
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site IS
commercial. The project as proposed is consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is C-2-S (General Commercial).
The proposed recreation facility, classrooms and meeting rooms require the approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. The requested uses are being considered individually, and not as an
expansion of the Home Church which would require a General Plan and Zoning amendment to a
Public Facilities Zoning District.
Site Layout: The shopping Center consists of eight individual parcels; see attached Location
Map. The buildings are located at the westerly portion of the site and face Winchester
Boulevard. A large pool of parking spaces is located between the buildings and the street. The
lot lines run perpendicular to Winchester and bisect the parking lot. The Home Church sanctuary
occupies Parcel 7, a former grocery store. Parcel 8 is privately owned and occupied by a
restaurant. Parcels 9, 10 and 11 are owned by the Home Church and are proposed to be used for
classrooms, meeting facilities and recreational uses. Parcel 12 contains a variety of uses and is
individually owned. Parcel 13 is owned by a benevolent trust and is occupied by a Kentucky
Fried Chicken Restaurant. The office building on the south side of the site is owned by the
Home Church and was converted to condominium office space in the past. It is designated as
Page 53 on the Assessor's Map.
The site plan attached to the applicant's letter, Attachment 3, illustrates the proposed use of the
tenant spaces. This exhibit was prepared before the church included their office building in the
use permit application for classroom and meeting room uses.
Site Conditions: Individual ownership of the parcels and in particular, the parking lot area has
resulted in varied maintenance conditions. The landscaping has not been maintained and the
parking lot paving is uneven and poorly maintained. An alley located at the rear of the shops has
been allowed to deteriorate over the years. A recommended condition of approval requires that
this area be repaired.
Building Design: No architectural changes are proposed with this use permit application. The
Conditions of Approval require that exterior elements, such as awnings, be maintained in good
repair. Since the Home Church does not own all parcels in the shopping center, extensive
remodeling cannot be accomplished.
Parking: Approximately 365 parking spaces are available for use by patrons of the proposed
uses. This figure does not include parking on the parcels that are not a part of this action.
Parking spaces associated with the Home Church sanctuary are included since they are under the
same ownership. The Zoning Ordinance does not provide a specific standard for recreational,
classroom and meeting room uses. Based on the surplus of 158 spaces and the information
provided in the church's letter, Attachment 3, containing the requested hours of operation and the
size of the groups, staff believes that sufficient parking is available in the existing parking lot.
Most of the requested uses will occupy the site in the evening and will not conflict with office or
retail uses. Virtually all of the parking spaces allocated for the Home Church sanctuary are not

PLN2000-24- 1739, 1755, 1765 and 1799 South Winchester Boulevard
Page 4
used during the day. A recommended condition of approval allows the adjustment of the hours
of operation if through actual use, there is a parking shortage. At that time the applicant may
present a parking management plan for consideration by the Planning Commission.
Landscaping: A recommended condition of approval requires that the existing landscaping be
maintained. Due to the 2-year expiration for the use permit, staff is not requesting significant
modifications at this time.
Conditional Use Permit
The operation of the classrooms, meeting rooms and the recreational facility could result in
impacts on adjacent tenants in the shopping center. Conditions of approval will limit the hours
of operation and potential noise impacts.
Based on City Council direction, the Conditions of Approval allow the use of the buildings for a
period of two years. This will allow the church time to prepare a General Plan and Zoning
Amendment to accommodate future plans.
Police Department Review: The Campbell Police Department has reviewed the application and
has no concerns or objections to the proposed uses.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee did not
review this application in that no design changes are proposed with the request.

1739, 1755, 1765 and 1799 South Winchester Boulevard
APPLICANT: Jimmy Zien for the Home Church
P.c. MEETING: May 23, 2000
Findings for Approval of a Use Permit (PLN2000-24) to allow the establishment of
meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms in several tenant spaces in the
Campbell Shopping Center
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN2000-24:
1. The proposed meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms a permitted
with the granting of a Conditional Use Permit in the C-2-S zoning district.
2. The proposed meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms are consistent
with the commercial land use designation of the General Plan and the C-2-S
(General Commercial) zoning designation for the site.
3. The use of the site for a period of two years for meeting rooms, recreational
facilities and classrooms in the proposed tenant locations will not have an adverse
affect on the existing retail and office uses located at the shopping center or other
commercial uses in the vicinity.
4. The meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms, subject to the
conditions of approval, are compatible with the adjacent land uses and the
surrounding neighborhood.
5. There is sufficient parking on the site to accommodate the meeting rooms,
recreational facilities and classrooms that will occupy former retail tenant spaces.
The varying times for these activities will not conflict with the parking
requirements ofthe other uses in the shopping center.
6. The meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms will not significantly
increase the demand on city services.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and
concludes that:
I. The establishment of the meeting rooms, recreational facilities and classrooms will
aid in the enhancement and the harmonious development of the immediate area. The
establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use will not be detrimental to the

The Planning Commission grants a Use Permit (UP 81-11) on property
located at 1711 S. Winchester Blvd. (Parcel No.7) for the conversion of
a vacant supermarket building to a church.
Memorandum from Kevin Duggan, City's Redevelopment Agency
Executive Director and City Manager, indicating that the economic I
potential for redeveloping the shopping center as an effective retail and I
commercial use is positive and that a temporary expansion of the church
for the youth center activities would not hinder the future objectives of
the Redevelopment Agency to revitalize the center for retail and
commercial uses, but a permanent and expanding church operation
could foreclose the City's and Redevelopment Agency's flexibility
regarding redevelopment of the property.
The Planning Commission reviews the Use Permit application (UP 88-
07) for the establishment of the youth center use to be located in an
existing 4,080 square foot commercial building in the Campbell
Shopping Center on properties located at 1739-1757 S. Winchester
Blvd. (Parcel Nos. 9 and 10). The Planning Commission requires that
the applicant prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to address
concerns regarding on-site parking and circulation, compatibility of uses
and the fiscal impact of the use in a general commercial zone.
Determination of the Use Permit is continued pending submission of an
EIR. Public testimony is given by many business and property owners
within the shopping center and from surrounding neighbors concerned
about the expansion of the church on commercial property.
Home Church files an appeal of the Planning Commission decision
requiring an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Use Permit.
Home Church addresses traffic concerns by providing a parking study.
The City Council overturns the Planning Commission decision and
determines that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is not necessary
in conjunction with the Use Permit application for the youth center.
The Planning Commission grants Home Church approval (Resolution
No. 2546) of the Use Permit to allow establishment of the youth center
for a period of two (2) years to expire on September 13, 1990.
An appeal is filed by business and property owners of Campbell
Shopping Center requesting that the City Council overturn the Planning
Commission's approval of the Use Permit and deny the application for
the youth center.

October 20, 1988 The City Council upholds the Planning Commission decision to
conditionally approve the Use Permit (UP 88-07) for the youth center,
subject to a one-year review by the City Council. The Use Permit
approval is granted for a two-year period and the expiration date of the
Use Permit is extended to October 20, 1990.
November 7, 1989 The City Council notes and revIews the one-year revIew. No
complaints are filed regarding operation of the youth center.
I October 23, 1990 The Planning Commission grants Home Church approval (Resolution
I No. 2705) of a Modification (M90-l8) to the previously-approved Use
I
Permit (UP 88-07) to allow a 4-year extension of a youth center use that
expires on October 23, 1994.
February 23,2000 Home Church submits an application for a Use Permit for the
establishment of a multi-purpose room on property located at 1765 S.
Winchester Blvd in a C-2-S (General Commercial) zoning district.
March 15,2000 Planning Staff determines that the Use Permit application is incomplete
and sends letter to Home Church explaining that additional information
is needed to complete the application.
March 16, 2000 Planning Staff sends a follow-up letter to Home Church explaining that
the Use Permit application cannot be approved until approval of a
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are granted to allow
expansion of the church use on the property.

on the northwest comer of W. Latimer Avenue and S. Winchester Blvd. The shopping

ADJOURN
City of Camp hell
Community Dcvelopmcnt Dcpat1mcnt
To: Mayor Kennedy and Members ofthe City Council
From: Sharon Fierro, Interim Community Development Director
Date: April 4, 2000
Subject: Campbell Shopping CenterlHome Church Expansion
Background
On February 23, 2000, the Home Church filed an application to expand the church to a
recently acquired tenant space in the Campbell Shopping Center located at 1765 S.
Winchester Boulevard. The site is designated Commercial on the General Plan Land Use
Map and is located in the Redevelopment Project Area.
Since the early 1980's, the Church has acquired many of the parcels that make up the
Campbell Shopping Center, see attached map. The Community Development Department has
advised them that a change in use of this site would require an amendment to the General Plan
fÌom Commercial to Public Facilities, a significant change in policy for this site.
The Home Church has discussed master plan concepts with staff but they have indicated that
they are not ready to move fOlWard at this time because they do not own two remaining
parcels of land in the center. Restrictive parking and access covenants prevent building
outside the existing building footprints. The Church has indicated that while they are not
ready to move fOlWard with the Master Plan approval process, they would like to occupy the
portions of the Shopping Center that are already under their ownership and to use it for church
purposes.
Currently, the only use that is legally established on the site is the sanctuary itself. The youth
facility was originally approved in 1988 for an initial two-year period, and subsequently
extended by four years. This use permit expired in 1994.
Policy Considerations
Because this project raises significant policy issues for the City, Staff has asked the Church to
participate in this study session to allow the Council members to identify policy considerations
before the Church invests significant resources in development of a master plan.
The expansion of church functions to the remainder of the site will remove them fÌom the
property tax rolls and affect the potential for tax increment revenues. It will result in the loss

Next Steps
If the City Council is interested in considering an amendment to the General Plan to allow this
commercial center to be converted to Public Facilities and allow the development of a large

The Planning Commission grants a Use Permit (UP 81-11) on property
located at 1711 S. Winchester Blvd. (Parcel No.7) for the conversion of
a vacant supermarket building to a church.
Memorandum from Kevin Duggan, City's Redevelopment Agency
Executive Director and City Manager, indicating that the economic.
potential for redeveloping the shopping center as an effective retail and I
commercial use is positive and that a temporary expansion of the church
for the youth center activities would not hinder the future objectives of
the Redevelopment Agency to revitalize the center for retail and
commercial uses, but a permanent and expanding church operation
could foreclose the City's and Redevelopment Agency's flexibility
regarding redevelopment of the property.
The Planning Commission reviews the Use Permit application (UP 88-
07) for the establishment of the youth center use to be located in an
existing 4,080 square foot commercial building in the Campbell
Shopping Center on properties located at 1739-1757 S. Winchester
Blvd. (Parcel Nos. 9 and 10). The Planning Commission requires that
the applicant prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to address I
concerns regarding on-site parking and circulation, compatibility of uses I
and the fiscal impact of the use in a general commercial zone.
Determination of the Use Permit is continued pending submission of an
EIR. Public testimony is given by many business and property owners
within the shopping center and from surrounding neighbors concerned
about the expansion of the church on commercial property.
Home Church files an appeal of the Planning Commission decision
requiring an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Use Permit.
Home Church addresses traffic concerns by providing a parking study.
The City Council overturns the Planning Commission decision and
determines that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is not necessary
in conjunction with the Use Permit application for the youth center.
The Planning Commission grants Home Church approval (Resolution
No. 2546) of the Use Permit to allow establishment of the youth center
for a period of two (2) years to expire on September 13, 1990.
An appeal is filed by business and property owners of Campbell
Shopping Center requesting that the City Council overturn the Planning
Commission's approval of the Use Permit and deny the application for
the youth center.

October 20, 1988 The City Council upholds the Planning Commission decision to
conditionally approve the Use Permit (UP 88-07) for the youth center,
subject to a one-year review by the City Council. The Use Permit
approval is granted for a two-year period and the expiration date of the
Use Permit is extended to October 20, 1990.
November 7,1989 The City Council notes and reviews the one-year revIew. No
! complaints are filed regarding operation of the youth center.

I October 23, 1990 The Planning Commission grants Home Church approval (Resolution

i Permit (UP 88-07) to allow a 4-year extension of a youth center use that
expires on October 23, 1994.
February 23,2000 Home Church submits an application for a Use Permit for the
establishment of a multi-purpose room on property located at 1765 S.
Winchester Blvd in a C-2-S (General Commercial) zoning district.
March 15, 2000 Planning Staff determines that the Use Permit application is incomplete
and sends letter to Home Church explaining that additional information
is needed to complete the application.
March 16, 2000 Planning Staff sends a follow-up letter to Home Church explaining that
the Use Permit application cannot be approved until approval of a
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are granted to allow I
expansion of the church use on the property.

RE: Use Permit application (pLN2000-24) for conversion of a commercial tenant space into
a multi-purpose room for the Home Church
Dear Mr. Zien:
In conjunction with the letter sent to you on March 15, 2000 by the City of Campbell Planning
Division, the Planning Division has also determined that additional applications will be
required for any uses on the subject property that propose to expand the activities associated
with Home Church. Currently, the property is located within a C-2-S (General Commercial)
zoning district. Any uses associated with the church, including the proposed multi-purpose
room, are permitted only in a P-F (Public Facilities) zoning district. Therefore, before
approval of a multi-purpose room in association with the church can be approved, approval of
a General Plan amendment from a "Commercial" land use designation to a "Public, Semi-
Public" land use designation and approval of a Zone Change from a C-2-S to a P-F zoning
district is required.
Please find enclosed a copy of the P-F zoning ordinance and applications for a General Plan
Amendment and Zone Change. Should you have any questions regarding the above-
referenced matter, please feel free to contact me at the Community Development Department
at (408) 866-2142.

Dear Aki:
This is a follow up letter in response to your letter dated March 15, 2000 requesting
additional information. I hope that the following information will be adequate.
1. The proposed project in reality is proposed in its current configuration. The facility
has already been remodeled and has passed all inspections including fire. This room was
built to be used as a multi-purpose room. Multi-purpose meaning to be used as small
classes, meetings such as Kiwanis, scouts, support groups, church dinners, etc. The main
room is approximately 2500 sq .ft. Which would all be used for church use. We have no
set times of operations for this facility. It would be used as needed and would not be used
before 8:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m. We do have some classes that start at 8:00 a.m. and
we normally end all evening meetings and classes by 9:00 p.m.
Normal occupancy load would be 30 people up to 100 people for special events.
2. Project summary is attached.
3. Scaled plot plan attached.
4. Photos attached.

Dear Sharon,
We appreciated the opportunity of meeting with you and Kirk yesterday and reaching the
understanding that your redevelopment ideas and ours for the property in discussion are
compatible.
As a condition of your approval for our "Use Permit" you requested that we declare our intent to
commit the major portion of the Winchester frontage to commercial use after we acquire the
remaining parcels owned by Chu and Labrador. As we stated in the meeting and in our
Development Concept given to you, this is our intent.
You also requested that we facelift the portion we own and that we improve the area behind the
buildings. We will provide conceptual drawings for your review to work towards securing a
design that meets with your approval. We will have preliminary drawings within the next few
months and anticipate completion of the facelift renovation within 12 months as you requested.
The time is right to see a new look in this center that conforms to the uniqueness of Campbell as
a community. At Home Church we are convinced that we can assist the city leaders in providing
a place of moral guidance and safe recreation for our youth and adults.
Thank you again for your support and cooperation. We look forward to a successful working
relationship with you and your staff.
Sincerely Yours,
~~;t. ~

From:
RE:
Home Church Application P A-99-20
This shopping center is within the Redevelopment Project Area and is zoned for commercial
use. Expansion of church uses is contrary to goals and objectives of the Redevelopment
Plan to increase the City's tax base, eliminate physical and economic blight and reserve the
City's commercial land for commercial uses. The Agency recommends against any
expansion of the church without considering a master plan for the shopping center and
demonstration of the community benefits of how this project is furthering redevelopment
goals for the area.
