Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Michael Rockhold, on behalf of Mr. Robert Dubcich, for approval of a Zone Change (PLN2001-28) from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development) and a Planned Development Permit (PLN2001-29) to allow the construction of six townhomes on property located at 206 Shelley Avenue in a R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) Zoning District. A Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. Tentative City Council Meeting Date: July 3, 2001. Planning Commission MinuL,~s of June 12, 2001 Page 3 Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report as follows: · Advised that this application includes a Zone Change from RMS (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development) and a Planned Development Permit to allow the construction of six townhome units on the south side of Shelley Avenue, near Bascom Avenue. · Informed that the surrounding uses include a two-story office building to the east; a single- story commercial building to the south; and townhome developments to the west and north. · Said that the Zone Change and Planned Development Permit will allow the construction of six townhomes on the property. The site plan depicts three building groupings on the site with a driveway on the east side of the property. The units include a two-car garage, three to four bedrooms and two and a half baths. · Advised that the project site is currently vacant. · Said that the General Plan designation is Low-Medium Dehsity Residential, which allows six to 13 units per gross acre. This project is proposed at 11.1 units per gross acre. · The proposed Zone Change would allow individual ownership of these units. · Described the units as two-story stucco buildings with hip gables, composition shingle roofing, bay windows and entry porches. · Said that the architecture proposed is acceptable to staff with the modifications to the elevations, which were provided by the applicants this evening. · Pointed out that a Condition of Approval is incorporated which requires the review of three staff-proposed changes as outlined in the staff report. · Outlined the concerns raised by adjacent neighbors, which includes a request to flip the placement of the buildings on the site, seeking to have the driveway on the west side of the property rather than as proposed on the east. They neighbors prefer to have the driveway adjacent to their project rather than having these new townhome units back to back with their own units. They express concerns about loss of privacy and sunlight on their property. The second concern raised by the neighbors is the future maintenance of shared fencing. Staff also distributed revised Findings and Conditions of Approval. · Recommended that the Commission support the granting of a Negative Declaration, adopt a Resolution recommending approval of the Zone Change and adopt a Resolution recommending approval of a Planned Development Permit. Chairperson Lindstrom asked about the new plans distributed this evening. Mr. Tim J. Haley advised that the plans include revised elevations, modifications to the windows over the garages, modifications to the elevations along Shelley Avenue and to the massing of Units 4 and 5. Commissioner Doorley asked about the revisions to the Findings. Mr. Tim J. Haley advised that the City Attorney has refined the findings to make them more specific to this application. Commissioner Francois presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee report as follows: · SARC reviewed the application on May 22, 2001, and was supportive. Planning Commission Minutes of June 12, 2001 Page 4 · Advised that the application was asked to return to SARC with revised plans to modify the front elevation along Shelley, enlarging the porch feature and modifying the rear units. Chairperson Lindstrom opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 1. Mr. Mike Rockhold, Architect: · Reminded that the surrounding uses are Multi-Family and Commercial. · Said that the properties in this area are more tightly developed. · Advised that the project has undergone several redesigns per staff/SARC request. · Said that the guest parking has been provided in front of the respective garages. · Suggested that the proposed siting of these townhome units makes the best sense as having the units back to back with the existing adjacent townhome project will maximize privacy to both sites. · Said that flipping the units can be done but it not the best plan for either the project or the neighbors. · Said that they will continue to work with staff to deal with the concerns regarding the massing and size of the porch elements. · Advised that they have reduced the second-story elements over the garages of Units 5 and 6. · Asked for approval and promised to work further with staff to fine tune any issues. · Said that this will be a nice addition to Campbell. Mr. Jim Yappel, 219 Shelley Avenue, Campbell: · Said that he lives across the street from the project site and has a couple of issues with the Findings, specifically with Findings 1 and 4. Finding 1 states that this is the best use. · Disagreed and said that the area needs parks and open space. · Added that it is irresponsible to move forward without investigating why there are no parks in this immediate area. · Advised that this property owner just recently allowed a commercial contractor the use of this property illegally. · Expressed concern about potential contamination of this property. Commissioner Doorley encouraged Mr. Yappel to participate in the General Plan Update process as a means for developing policy on parkland acquisition in the City. Commissioner Francois advised that a Soils Report would be required to certify that the property is not contaminated as a Condition of Approval. Commissioner Lowe asked about the depth of study when preparing an Initial Study for a site. Mr. Geoff Bradley, Senior Planner, advised that staff utilizes a database provided by the State to identify any hazardous sites. Ms. Sharon Fierro, Community Development Director, added that the storage of materials on this site occurred without the knowledge of the City and that the Building Department will Planning Commission Minmcs of June 12, 2001 Page 5 certify that the site is clean. Added that the Initial Study looks at significant on-site storage, etc. Mr. Tim J. Haley added that the site was vacant at the time the Initial Study was prepared. The storage yard use occurred afterwards. Mr. Chris Ashton, President, Homeowners Association, Shelley Estates: · Pointed out their petition which unanimously supports the request to flip the site plan so that the new units do not back directly onto their units but rather that the driveway be located in this area instead. · Said that this proposal would severely adversely impact privacy, sunlight and views from their property. · Added that although the Architect says that the back-to-back design will provide the best privacy, separating bedrooms by just 20 feet does not equal privacy. · Said that they are not concemed about the potential of noise from the driveway. This project is the same size as their own project and the driveway does not generate any noise issues. · Said that the parking lot, which would be located behind these new units if the project site plan were flipped, operates on regular working hours and will not cause noise impacts on the new units. · Added that while the Architect states that the elevations from Shelley will be most attractive if sited as they propose, the architecture should not be unattractive from any angle and/or elevation. Commissioner Doorley asked if security lighting on the driveway causes any concerns to Mr. Ashton. Mr. Clads Ashton replied that they have no problem with adjacent driveway. Commissioner Lowe asked Mr. Ashton whether the townhome project on the other side of his site is back to back or staggered. Mr. Chris Ashton replied that this project is staggered just as they are proposing here. Commissioner Lowe asked Mr. Ashton if his project has driveway lights. Mr. Chris Ashton said that they use the outside lights of their respective units. Added that during the illegal commercial use of the site, he observed some sort of liquid being dumped into the soil as well as chemical toilets being charged and discharged. Mr. Rob Cleland, 196 Shelley Avenue, Campbell: · Said that their project was constructed in 1988. · Added that there have been no complaints between the adjacent townhome projects. · Suggested that a physical investigation of the property should occur and asked what would need to be done to initiate such an investigation. Planning Commission MinuL~s of June 12, 2001 Page 6 Ms. Sharon Fierro advised that staffwould recommend the addition of a Condition of Approval requiring that the site be certified as free of hazardous contamination. Mr. Rob Cleland added that on one occasion a crane lifted a huge concrete pipe directly over his property while it was being used as the contractor's construction site. Said that there are good arguments on both sides regarding privacy but that the use of Bascom Avenue parking lot is not heavy and should not adversely impact privacy if the new townhomes are backed to that property. Mr. Mike Rockhold, Architect: · Said that he has resided in the Valley since 1955. · Pointed out that the properties on Shelley are multiple family uses and what they propose will blend in with what is already there. · Added that the windows they propose are the same size as the existing windows of the adjacent project and that they are willing to place the windows so they do not directly face the existing townhome windows. · Expressed concerns about flipping the placement of the new units, including security as access to this property would be easier from the adjacent parking lot. · Promised to work with the neighbors to mitigate issues of concern short of flipping the project placement. · Asked the Commission to recommend approval. Commissioner Doorley stated that it appears that Mr. Rockhold is less supportive of the idea of flipping the site layout than he seemed to be earlier this evening. Mr. Mike Rockhold replied that he is firm that in his professional opinion this is the best siting of the project. Ms. Laura Hamilton, 190 Shelley Avenue, Campbell: · Supported the comments of the two previous Shelley Avenue residents. · Said that their units have small rear yards, which this new townhome project, if constructed as proposed, would greatly reduce the sunlight exposure in their yards, thereby limiting the gardening options of the property and jeopardizing existing gardens. · Added that flipping the project layout is her preference. Commissioner Doorley stated that while both sides have made valid points, he is leaning toward requiring the project layout to be flipped. Chairperson Lindstrom closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 1. Commissioner Lowe stated that this is an excellent project and that he would support flipping the site layout. Commissioner Francois agreed but expressed some concern about the potential for fire unit access and the traffic impacts of the driveway on adjacent units if the project layout is flipped. Planning Commission Minu~,,s of June 12, 2001 Page 7 Commissioner Hemandez: · Said that he used to live in a townhome project in Campbell with a rear yard that was adjacent to a driveway for the neighboring property. He experienced no problems with that situation. · Added that it does not appear to be burdensome to ask the applicant to flip the orientation of the buildings and he would support such a requirement. · Agreed that questions need to be raised about use of vacant land since there is such a need for open space. Commissioner Jones agreed to support the requirement to flip the orientation of the project. Added that if the City owned the property, he would support its use as a park. However, the City does not own the property. Chairperson Lindstrom said that he actually supports the project as presented. Added that it is typical to have rear yards abut and that this is preferable to having a rear yard abut a driveway. Motion: Upon motion of Commissioner Doorley, seconded by Commissioner Lowe, the Planning Commission took the following action: 1. Recommended that the City Council grant a Negative Declaration; 2. Adopted Resolution No. 3351 recommending approval of a Zone Change (PLN2001-28) from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development); and 3.

Second Street Partners, for a Site and Architectural Approval (PLN2001-52) to allow an office conversion and addition to a residential structure located at 46 N. Second Street in the C-3-S (Central Business District) Zoning District. This project is Categorically Exempt. Planning Commission decision final in l0 days, unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk. Ms. Kristi Bascom, Planner I, presented the staff report as follows: · Advised that the applicants are seeking a Site and Architectural Approval to allow an office conversion and addition to a residential structure located on the southeast comer of Second Street and Civic Center Drive. · Said that the property is zoned C-3 (Central Business District) and the structure was constructed in 1930 and used as a residence until a fire last year. The structure is included on the Historic Resource Inventory as a notable building. · The proposal is for the renovation and expansion, including the addition of a second story, for use as a law office. The current structure is 1,800 square feet and the proposal would increase the square footage to more than 3,000. The rear yard will be converted into a parking lot with seven spaces and the applicants will pay an in-lieu parking space fee for two spaces. · Staff recommends approval of this application. Commissioner Doorley asked staff for the specific changes to the findings. Ms. Kristi Bascom advised that the City Attorney has clarified the findings. Commissioner Doorley said that it appears that there is a shortfall of seven spaces not just two. Ms. Kristi Bascom advised that five spaces are available on street and the shortfall is for two on-site spaces. Mr. Geoff I. Bradley added that there is currently a 12-foot driveway off Second Street that is a one-way driveway. A two-way driveway is required. Ms. Kristi Bascom added that the siting of the house needs to be preserved due to the historic significance of the structure. Commissioner Hemandez clarified that access is more important that on-street parking. Ms. Kristi Bascom clarified that a 20-foot minimum site access is required. This is the City's standard. Commissioner Hemandez asked how the in-lieu fee equates into parking. Planning Commission MinuLcs of June 12, 2001 Page 9 Ms. Sharon Fierro advised that the City's new parking garage is being constructed just across the street from this site. Commissioner Francois presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee report as follows: · SARC reviewed this proposal on May 22na and was supportive. · SARC believes this is a good compliment to the neighborhood. Chair Lindstrom opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 3. Mr. Bruno Marcelic, Project Architect: · Said that this is a case of a historic house being converted into an office building.

Commissioner Lowe asked for further information about a general off-sale liquor license. Mr. Tim J. Haley advised that this license does not allow for on-site consumption of hard liquor. It will permit the owners to sell special vodkas and cognacs for off-site consumption. Added that a vicinity map of other businesses in the area with liquor licenses has been distributed in the packet. Commissioner Francois said that he assumes that the specialty products are from the former Soviet Union. Mr. Tim J. Haley clarified that the specialty products include vodka and cognac.
