2. PLN2002-123 Public Heating to consider the application of Mr. Ray Andrews, on
Andrews, R. behalf of Kaiser Permanente, for a Modification (PLN2002-123) to a
previously approved Conditional Use Permit (UP 98-02) to allow the
establishment of a 8,500 square foot Mental Health Services Clinic
and a 2,100 square foot pharmacy in an existing building on property
owned by Legacy RECP II Hacienda OPCO, LLC, located at 200 E.
Hacienda Avenue in a C-M (Controlled Manufacturing) Zoning
District. This project is Categorically Exempt. Planning
Commission decision final in 10 calendar days, unless appealed in
writing to the City Clerk. Project Planner: Darcy Smith, Planner II
Ms. Darcy Smith, Planner II, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the applicant is seeking approval of a Modification to a previously-approved
Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a mental health services clinic and
supporting pharmacy.
· Described the proposed building as being an existing one of six on the property known as
the Vasona Tech Park.
· Stated that a Use Permit established Kaiser at 220 E. Hacienda in 1998.
· Pointed out that the only construction proposed are tenant improvements with no exterior
alterations.
· Added that the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning designations.
· Said that hospitals are allowed in any zoning district with issuance of a Use Permit. This
Kaiser facility was deemed to serve in a similar way as a hospital.
· Stated that a maximum of 10 providers will be associated with this new mental health
services clinic, three psychiatrists and nine psychologists. They average eight to ten patient
appointments per day, running from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Small
groups with no more than 10 participants would meet between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7
p.m. Larger groups of 20 or more participants would meet between the hours of 4 p.m. and
7 p.m.
· Stated that the pharmacy will serve the patients of the mental health services clinic only.
· Advised that a parking demand analysis was prepared by Kaiser, which determined that 72
spaces are necessary.
· Stated that staff finds that in this particular situation, the standard parking requirement of
six spaces per health provider would be excessive given the longer length of patient visit
and reduced number of patients seen per provider.
· Added that a condition is placed on this use that states that the building can only be
occupied by mental health services providers with up to 10 practitioners at a time. To
expand or change that use would require a Modification to this Use Permit.
· Recommended approval.
Commissioner Hernandez sought clarification that the site would be limited to 10 practitioners.
Planning Commission Minutes of November 26, 2002 Page 5
Planner Darcy Smith replied yes and added that the limitation to 10 is due to the requirement
for a parking exception.
Commissioner Hernandez asked if any staff access would be restricted from the general offices
uses after 4 p.m., whether the pharmacy would be closed after 4 p.m. and if there is any
restriction against additional office hours.
Planner Darcy Smith replied no.
Commissioner Hernandez asked if there is a restriction in the number of office workers in the
general office space.
Planner Darcy Smith replied no.
Commissioner Rocha expressed concern about possible conflicts in the future when the site is
fully leased.
Planner Darcy Smith advised that the site utilizes a shared parking concept.
Commissioner Hernandez asked what the existing use is for the proposed Kaiser expansion
space.
Planner Darcy Smith replied that it is vacant. She added that the site was reconfigured in order
to add more parking.
Commissioner Hernandez pointed out that there appears to be lots of parking on this project.
Planner Darcy Smith agreed that there is lots of parking available and that no complaints have
been received concerning parking availability. The only complaints heard have been about
finding the Kaiser location on Hacienda Avenue at all.
Commissioner Doorley asked about the severity of the patients proposed for treatment at this
location and from what geographic region they come.
Chair Francois opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 2.
Mr. Ray Andrews, Project Manager, Kaiser Permanente:
· Advised that this new mental health services clinic will serve the Campbell community, the
same patients served by the general medical offices there.
· Added that this expansion is for this region and the center will provide primarily
counseling services.
· Said that this location is neither intended nor appropriate for in-patient treatment but will
solely be an outpatient clinic.

found availability of parking to be an issue.
