recently, it had been used as a residence. The applicant is seeking to establish a retail use in
the remodeled building.

approval for a new commercial building at the rear portion of this site. The Commission
approved the application. However, the rear neighbors appealed the approval to Council and

lift would be involved.

Francois, M.
Continued Public Heating to consider the application of Mr. Matt
Francois, on behalf of Dr. Dennis Wong, for approval of a
Modification (PLN2000-66) to a previously-approved Site and
Architectural Approval (S 98-24) to alter a Condition of Approval
limiting the number of doctors/dentists using the site to two, on

Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report as follows:

· The original Site and Architectural Approval was granted on January 26, 1999, and allowed
the construction of a new two-story office building with the provision of 12 parking spaces.
· Condition of Approval No. 2 required that a covenant be filed limiting the number of
doctors/dentists using the site to two.
· The applicants are seeking to modify that restriction.

Staff is not supportive of any changes to the Condition.
· Advised that the requirement for six spaces per doctor is fairly consistent with other cities in
the area.
· Said that the building on this site consists of 4,930 square feet. Typically, a building of that
size would require 21 spaces for general office use. For medical office use, the parking
requirement is based upon the number of doctors.

Commissioner Lindstrom clarified that Mr. Francois is seeking is to modify the limitation on the
number of doctors permitted in this building.
Mr. Matt Francois said that what he is trying to convey is that there is no excess parking on the
part of Dr. Walker's practice.
Ms. Sharon Fierro clarified that this is a two-story building. Dr. Wong, a dentist, is occupying
the second floor. Dr. Walker is occupying the first floor, with Dr. Loitz and an anesthesiologist
assisting as needed. Dr. Walker cannot guarantee that there is no overlap.

physician and anesthesiologist one or two times per month to perform one or two surgeries.
Commissioner Hemandez sought clarification. Dr. Walker states that he is a sole practitioner
with assisting physicians a couple of times each month but that the announcement for his new
practice lists a partnership/joint practice.
Dr. Leigh Walker replied that it is his practice. He spent $225,000 in improvements. He is
associated with Dr. Loitz as a way of introducing himself into the community, a common
practice.
Commissioner Hemandez stated that this is a way of trading off on the good will of an
experienced doctor.
Planning Commission Minutes of June 13, 2000 Page 7
Commissioner Keams stated that at the time of original approval for this new building, the
applicant stated that there was no problem with the limitations on the number of doctors.
Dr. Leigh Walker stated that he believes his practice is a sole practice. All he is asking for is a
clarification.
Commissioner Hemandez asked if Dr. Loitz sees only the same patients as Dr. Walker, at the
same time?
Dr. Leigh Walker:
· Stated that there are just one or two patients the entire day for the entire staff.
· Advised that he is seeking JCHO accreditation. Under this accreditation, it is unethical to
operate in more than one room at a time.
· Said that his whole office is geared to treat one patient at a time. It sometimes takes six to
eight hours for one patient.
Chairperson Gibbons asked if Dr. Loitz practices elsewhere.
Dr. Leigh Walker replied that Dr. Loitz does practice elsewhere, this is not his primary location.
Chairperson Gibbons asked how many days Dr. Loitz has been working at this location in the
five weeks since the practice opened.
Dr. Leigh Walker advised that Dr. Loitz has been there every day during the transition. Dr. Loitz
is helping to start up this practice, advising in all matters including how to set up the books.
Chairperson Gibbons asked if Dr. Loitz has regular office hours at this location.
Dr. Leigh Walker stated that Dr. Loitz has not seen patients except with him.
Commissioner Hernandez asked Dr. Walker how long Dr. Loitz would be associated with the
practice in this way.
Dr. Leigh Walker replied about six months and only on special occasions thereafter. Dr. Loitz
has no long-term commitment to this practice.
Commissioner Lowe commended Dr. Walker for starting his new practice in Campbell. Asked if
Dr. Walker was aware of the covenant when establishing his practice at this location.
Dr. Leigh Walker replied that he was not aware of the covenant at that time.
Chairperson Gibbons advised that the Dr. Walker's business license approval form clearly stated
the limit of two doctors for the building.
Planning Commission Minutes of June 13, 2000 Page 8
Dr. Paul Beaupre, 16178 Greenwood Road, Monte Sereno.

time.
· Stated that the issue is that it is more cost effective to open an office operating room.
· Said that Dr. Walker's facility will retain the highest accreditation possible.

assist should emergencies arise.

Commissioner Lindstrom asked for clarification on the accreditation mentioned.
Dr. Paul Beaupre said that the accreditation is JCHO (Joint Commission of Hospitals) and has
the strictest of standards.
Commissioner Lowe asked why such extensive facial surgery is not conducted within a hospital.
Dr. Paul Beaupre replied that such surgeries can be done safely out of traditional hospitals.
Insurance companies insist upon it.

on his lot.
· Advised that Dr. Wong has added a hygienist with her own patient load.

information should have been shared with Dr. Walker.
· Said that Dr. Walker's mailed announcement stated a partnership "in our new office at 14419
S. Bascom Avenue."
· Additionally, the stationary from the office lists both Dr. Walker and Dr. Loitz.
Mr. Rudi Herz, 1888 White Oaks Road.
· Advised that he is a past president of the local homeowners' association.
Planning Commission Minutes of June 13, 2000 Page 9
· Stated that White Oaks Road is an "endangered" residential neighborhood. There are many
auto repair facilities at one end and several dental buildings.
· Said that they have had many complaints about the dentists and none about the auto repair.
· Advised that the dentists ask their employees to park on the street so that patients can park in
their lots. Added that he cannot prove this claim. However, on weekdays, street parking on
White Oaks Road is loaded and on weekends there is none.

front of residents' homes.

Ms. Jolie Houston, Attorney, Berliner, Cohen, 10 Almaden Boulevard, 11th Floor, San Jose.
· Stated that she submitted a letter earlier which is included in the staff report.
· Asked to bring back the discussion to the land use issue, the covenant.

to two.
· The Parking Ordinance requires the provision of six spaces for each doctor.

doctors fight now.

covenant is confusing and unenforceable.

· Said that with the adoption of a Negative Declaration, required under CEQA, parking was
seen as an impact which was mitigated by limiting the number of doctors on the site.
Ms. Deborah Follmar, 15261 Sobey Road, Saratoga.
· Advised that while the Wong building was under
construction, she was in charge of
managing her own adjacent property.
Added that she had to chase construction workers building the Wong building off of her
property on a number of occasions during the construction phase and was rudely treated.
Said that posting signs on her property restricting parking did not solve the problem.
Said that it appears that Dr. Walker is a great physician with a great future but that he picked
the wrong building.
Dr. Rick Noodleman, 3803 S. Bascom Avenue, Campbell.
· Advised that he owns the building adjacent to the Wong building on the north side.
· Said that he welcomes Dr. Wong and Dr. Walker to the community and wishes them success.
· Stated that nine years ago, he and his partners built their building and added underground
parking, which was very expensive, to meet the parking needs for their practice.
· Expressed concern that, should the parking lot be full at the Wong building, the overflow will
end up in their parking lot. More parking is required.
Commissioner Keams asked Dr. Noodleman if he had any suggestions on how to procure more
parking.
Planning Commission Minutes of June 13, 2000 Page 10
Dr. Rick Noodleman replied that perhaps offsite parking with shuttle service. Added that he did
not know what was available.

research has been done recently but that no complaints have been made to the City.
Dr. Greg Loitz, 33 Palma, La Selva Beach.

Dr.
· Said that he is aware the Dr. Noodleman is affiliated with 35 anesthesiologists in his own
practice.
· Stated that he believes Dr. Walker will meet the covenant requirements.
Chairperson Gibbons closed the Public Heating for Agenda Item No. 2.
Commissioner Lowe stated that he had expressed concern about the parking for this site at the
original hearing held to approve this building. He advised that he voted against the approval for
the building. Added that he will vote against any changes to the covenant language now.
Commissioner Hemandez asked the City Attorney for direction and whether the Commission
could modify this approval.
Mr. William Seligmann, City Attorney, advised that the Commission has the general authority to
modify its approvals.
Commissioner Hemandez said that the condition restricting the number of doctors for this
building has been imposed for a reason. While Dr. Walker's practice is not a high volume one,
the condition runs with the land not with Dr. Walker. The Commission must reconcile Dr.
Walker's unique practice with the potential future occupants of the site.
Chairperson Gibbons:
· Stated that she concurred.
· Added that the minutes of the original meeting are included in the packet.
· Said that the zoning stipulated the amount of parking required and that a lengthy discussion
of parking concerns took place.
· Said that tonight's discussion is down to two issues. What is a doctor and the specifics of
this particular medical practice.
Planning Commission Minutes of June 13, 2000 Page 11
· Said that she had issues with two practicing physicians despite the covenant.
Commissioner Hernandez asked if Chairperson Gibbons had concerns about two doctors even if
for just one patient.
Chairperson Gibbons replied yes.
Commissioner Keams stated that she concurred with Chairperson Gibbons and Commissioner
Hemandez. Added that she didn't want to stand in the way of this doctor's practice but she is
struggling with the parking issue. This is a tough decision.
Commissioner Lindstrom:
Reminded that Dr. Wong's practice also has a hygienist in addition to Dr. Wong.
· Said that parking is an issue but if only once a month it may not be such a problem.
· Said that Dr. Walker has done a good job logging the parking habits of his visitors and that
no violations of parking have occurred to this point.
Chairperson Gibbons, looking at page 11 of Dr. Walker's log, stated that within a half hour
period there were five patients, the doctor and two staff members. This is just one example.
Commissioner Lindstrom suggested leaving the covenant the same.
Commissioner Lowe said that when the Commission originally considered this project there was
extensive discussion and "here we are back at the table again."
Commissioner Lindstrom said that the Commission would have to stay with two primary
doctors.
Motion:
Upon motion of Commissioner Lowe, seconded by Commissioner Lindstrom,
the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3284 denying a request for
a Modification (PLN2000-66) to a previously-approved Site and
Architectural Approval (S 98-24) to alter a Condition of Approval, limiting

Chao, G.
Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Gary Chao for a
Site and Architectural Approval (PLN2000-67) to allow the
construction of a new single-family residence on property located at
1145 S. San Tomas Aquino Road in an R-l-9 (Single Family
Residential) Zoning District. This project is Categorically Exempt.
Planning Commission decision final in 10 days, unless appealed in
writing to the City Clerk.
Ms. Aki Irani, Planner I, presented the staff report as follows:
Advised that revised findings have been distributed this evening for this project.
· Said that the project site is located behind the Rolling Hills Shopping Center.
· The project site is zoned R-l-9 (Single Family Residential) and includes 7,600 square feet
which is legal, non-conforming.
· The proposal is consistent with the General Plan.
· The applicants propose to construct a 2,984 square foot, two-story single family residence
with a 446 square foot, two-car garage.
· No trees will be removed and the applicants will plant an additional three trees.
· The applicants will be required to participate in future street improvements.
· Staff is supportive of this project and recommends approval.
Commissioner Lowe asked if there are any Fire Department concerns.
Ms. Aki Irani advised that there are no concerns at this time.
Chairperson Gibbons added that this is a landlocked parcel with no public road in front of it but
rather access by way of an easement.
Commissioner Lowe asked if there were other such parcels.
Ms. Aki Irani replied that there are six or seven altogether on this street. When the properties are
redeveloped, improvements will be installed.
Commissioner Lindstrom advised that this applicant will be dedicating 5 feet for the future
improvements.
Commissioner Lowe asked if this dedication would be setting the standard.
Ms. Aki Irani advised that this property is the first to be improved and would be setting the
standard for the required dedication. She added that the easement is 30 feet wide at this time but
Planning Commission Minutes of June 13, 2000 Page 13
that 20 feet of that width is actually privately owned property of the Rolling Hills Shopping
Center.
Ms. Sharon Fierro added that nothing is shown on the Tax Assessor's map and that that 20 feet
appears to be private property with the fencing inside the property by 20 feet. Added that the
public improvements are not been dedicated or improved at this time. When it is improved, it
will be with rolled curbs as the San Tomas Area Neighborhood Plan calls for no curbs, gutters
and sidewalks for new streets.
Commissioner Lindstrom presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting as
follows:
· This project was reviewed by SARC on May 23, 2000.
· Advised that the octagon window was lowered and centered.
· SARC is supportive of this project.
Chairperson Gibbons opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 3.
Mr. Gary Chao, 1145 S. San Tomas Aquino Road.
· Expressed that he was happy to provide a more simple project to the Commission than the
preceding two from this evening's agenda.
· Said that staff did a great job summarizing the project and that he has worked hard with staff
and the architectural advisor.
Commissioner Lowe asked if Mr. Chao would occupy this home.
Mr. Gary Chao replied that he would be occupying the new home along with his family.
Chairperson Gibbons closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 3.
