Commissioner Francois: · Said that this applicant is following the density allowed in the General Plan and could actually develop from between six and 13 units or an apartment building on this site. · Added that this proposal meets all development standards and is an excellent project. Mr. Gary Gairaud said that a smaller development for this site is preferred. Added that he doesn't personally live adjacent to this site. Said this project doesn't quite make sense to him.

Commissioner Francois presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee report as follows: · SARC reviewed this proposal on May 22nd and June 12th and is supportive with the following revisions, which have been incorporated.

Mr. Andreas Grecke, Project Architect, MBH Architects, 1115 Atlantic Avenue, Alameda: · Stated that the building they have designed was designed to be in context with the site and surrounding area. When they surveyed the area, they noticed the extensive use of brick and incorporated a design utilizing different colors of brick. Additionally, they have designed three smaller attached buildings with three types of interiors including a one-bedroom unit on two levels, a two-bedroom unit within an 18-foot ceiling loft and larger units consisting of approximately 2,000 square feet. Ms. Pat Alford, 212 E.

Mr. Larry Biford, Chairman of the Board for Campbell Baptist Church: · Advised that he is speaking this evening as an individual rather than as a representative of the Church. · Expressed concern that this development will represent the beginning of multi-storied buildings in the City of Campbell.

Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report as follows: · Advised that this application seeks approval of a Modification to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit to allow placement of a modular classroom at Campbell Christian School. · Said that the original request was for three modular classrooms over the next three years however staff's recommendation is for one modular classroom as the traffic analysis prepared can support one classroom. · Advised that this classroom will accommodate 30 additional students to the school and one teacher.

Planning Commission Minutes of June 26, 2001 Page 9 Commissioner Francois presented the follows: Site and Architectural Review Committee report as · SARC reviewed this proposal on June 12, 2001, was supportive of this request with the addition of an 8 to 10 foot pedestrian buffer in front of this classroom and a request for a letter of intent for long-term development plans. · Added that SARC is recommending that the approval of this temporary use not exceed five years. Chair Lindstrom opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 3. Mr. John Emery, 91 Victor Avenue, Campbell: · Reminded that last year, the modular building was actually in place on site prior to the school's receiving City approvals. · Asked what sort of traffic analysis was conducted since traffic in the area is horrendous. · Stressed that there have been problems with the use of this church site over the last 20 years as far as its impact on traffic in the area. · Expressed that the church/school have no regard for the neighborhood whatsoever and that only one access is used while the Campbell Avenue driveway is blocked off. · Added that he has resided in the neighborhood for over 44 years. · Asked for denial of this request. Commissioner Gibbons asked staffifboth driveways are used. Mr. Tim J. Haley replied that only the driveway off Hedegard is used and that is what was considered during the preparation of the traffic analysis. The driveway off Campbell is equipped with an emergency gate. Mr. Sean Stewart, Co-Director, Campbell Christian School: · Clarified that the Campbell driveway is closed during school hours. One reason not to use this driveway is to prevent traffic from stopping on the busy Campbell Avenue. · Said that they have a drop off system in the morning from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m. where about 130 cars bring students on site. The afternoon pick up runs from 2:25 to 2:45 p.m. with about 120 cars. There is never standing traffic and staff helps unload the students promptly from their family vehicles. · Added that they advised parents not to park off campus. Commissioner Francois asked Mr. Stewart how parking for events such as Back-to-School Night is handled. Mr. Sean Steward replied that there is adequate on-site parking to handle such event parking. Commissioner Gibbons said that she is supportive of this request but wondered what the largest crowd would be for an event on-site. Mr. Scan Steward said that the maximum number of students is 340. There are 210 elementary school students and 72 pre-school students. Added that when there are special concerts, the Planning Commission Minutes of June 26, 2001 Page 10 attendees are staggered to arrive alphabetically. Said that not all car spaces on site are utilized at any given time. Commissioner Gibbons said that she is very sensitive to neighborhood traffic problems. Said that bringing 200 cars each morning and evening onto Hedegard are a lot. Suggested some sort of traffic plan. Mr. Geoff I. Bradley said that it had been considered having traffic leave via the Campbell Avenue driveway. However, to do so cuts the school in half and would result in both pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the same area, which would be hazardous to the safety of students. Mr. Scan Steward stressed that the school is willing to work with staff to provide the safest circulation. Commissioner Gibbons suggested a Condition of Approval requiting the applicant to work with the neighbors and Public Works and Planning Staff to work out traffic issues. Mr. Scan Steward stated that he agreed that traffic is fast on Hedegard but that not all of this traffic is related to their school. Said that he wants to meet the neighborhood needs. Chair Lindstrom closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 3. Motion: Upon motion of Commissioner Gibbons, seconded by Commissioner Francois, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3364 approving a Modification (PLN2001-66) to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (UP75-15) to allow the placement of one 940 square-foot modular classroom at Campbell Christian School on property located at 1075 W.

Bradley replied that there are FAR limits for the R-1 but not existing homes within a PD Zoning District. However, new single-family homes constructed within a PD Zone within the San Tomas Area would be required to meet FAR standards. Mr. Gary Gairaud asked for clarification regarding the calculations of shared open space. Planning Commission Minutes of June 26, 2001 Page 12 Mr. Geoff I. Bradley said that this PD project has common recreation space (a tennis court) that is not typical within an R-1 Zoning. It is considered as a part of the lot size.
