Item No. 1
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 2 of 10
Alteration Permit for further consideration of his desire to have an awning at this location. This application will be considered by the Historic Preservation Board and

• Added that the brick for this building will be arriving in about a month.
• Advised that he has asked to receive advance notice of delivery so he can be
present.
Board Member Blake:
• Reported that she recently attended a historic grant writing program put on by Santa
Clara County. She saw Mike Kotowski and Barbara Johnson at this training. Mike is
working to secure grant funds for the Trolley Cars in San Jose.
• Advised that the program has $5 million to allocate in grants to projects within the five districts of the county. We are in District 4.
• Added that these grants are “reimbursement” grants. Cities must match any funds
provided by grant.
• Said that she had inquired if preparation of HRI surveys was a qualified activity for
which to receive grant funding. She said that the County advised that the
concentration and/or priority areas are those with currently untold stories and/or
disadvantaged areas. She said that minority populations are not well represented. Board Member Kendall asked what about the history of packing plants in Campbell.
Board Member Blake asked staff when the HPB might get the Update on the Mills Act
Contracts. Planner Daniel Fama said he was not sure given his current work flow.
Board Member Blake:
• Said she hoped Mills Act could be discussed in the next few months.
• Reported that the information Planner Daniel Fama provide from Richmond,
California, was very interesting and she recommends that the Board consider adding
such information to our own General Plan.
• Suggested that subject be discussed at a future meeting.
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Suggested that members of HPB could approach the GPAC (General Plan Advisory Committee) as individuals within the community to make that suggestion and/or they
could elect to agendize the issue on a future HPB agenda and subsequently transmit
a letter on to the City Council to speak as one-voice of the HPB.

2. 167 Alice Avenue – Review of Field Changes:
Referral from the Community Development Director requesting that the Historic Preservation Board review field changes from an approved building permit on property located at 167 Alice Avenue.
Board Member Kendall advised that she must recuse from participating in this item due
to living within noticing distance proximity to this property. She left the dais and chamber for the duration of this item.
Ms. Naz Pouya, Assistant Planner, provided the staff report as follows:
• Advised that staff is looking for direction from the HPB in dealing with work done
under a Building Permit.
• Reported that the scope of work performed under this Building Permit exceeded
what was approved for that permit on this historic property at 167 Alice Avenue.
• Said that the approved scope of work included new and replacement windows and doors. The approval was based upon the provisions in place under the previous
Historic Preservation Ordinance. This property was granted a Mills Act Contract last
year (2018).
• Advised that there were changes from the approved plans. The first was the foundation treatment, a protecting metal flashing, that was installed and then painted
to help obscure it. The second deviation was the replacement of an existing garden
window with a bay window. Third the roof replacement was not in the scope of work.
Another window on the side of the house was three separate windows and is now
one large window.
• Said the question for HPB is do they find these modifications to be consistent. Does
HPB have any suggestions? Does the HPB think that a Conditional Use Permit
should be required?
Sjur-Olah Bendiksen, Property Owner, 167 Alice Avenue:
• Confirmed that his property was granted a Mills Act Contract last year.
• Added that all proposed changes were on the plan submitted for the Mills Act.
• Pointed out that foundation flashing was a part of the original house. He painted it
but there is no landscaping in place yet so it’s still visible.
• Said that as to the bay/garden window, the only missing component is a glass roof.
• Said that he has an affidavit from his contractor. His contractor is here.
• Said that he obtained a roof permit in March 2018 that included 10 squares or 1,000
square feet.
• Stated that it was “sad we’re being picked on.”
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Responded that staff is not picking on these owners but rather has worked to
accommodate them in such a way as to avoid their having to apply for a Conditional
Use Permit.
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 4 of 10
• Cautioned that accurate plans do matter. Construction must be done strictly to plan.
If there are to be changes to approved plans they should be approved prior to the
work actually being done.
Board Member Blake:
• Stated that it is important to be consistent with the architectural style and character
of a historic home.
• Said that she agrees with staff.
• Said that what has been done is an improvement over what was there. The
architect did a nice job duplicating the roof lines.
• Advised that she is okay with what took place on this home.
• Added that typically the HPB doesn’t get into roof color.
Planner Daniel Fama said that the roof permit was for the garage. The re-roof of the house itself was not part of that permit.
Board Member Walter agreed that the 10 squares of roofing were for the original permit
for the garage.
Board Member Moore concurred with Board Member Blake.
Board Member Blake said this is a work in progress. The landscaping is not done yet.
Board Member Walter:
• Stated that he is fine with the modifications but it is important to property clean up
the documenting paperwork.
• Said that this home looks great. The bay window offers more charm and blends in
with the home.
• Added that he is glad they painted the flashing.
Chair Foulkes:
• Stated that the flashing looks terrible and is not historic. It should be pulled out.
• Said that having a Mills Act holds a property owner up to a higher standard. There
are just a few Mills Act Contracts in Campbell.
• Admitted that it appears his colleagues don’t object to what’s been done.
• Asked staff if a motion is required.
Planner Daniel Fama replied staff just needed general guidance from the Board.
3. ADU Standards for Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) Properties:
Request for the Historic Preservation Board to discuss potentially establishing special
standards for Accessory Dwelling Units on HRI properties
Daniel Fama provided the staff report as follows:
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 5 of 10
• Advised that a comprehensive update to the City’s ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit)
Ordinance has been in process for the last eighteen months or so.
• Added that in the past the City has been very resistant to ADUs.
• Reported that due to the existing housing crisis the winds have changed.
• Stated that State laws are loosening the local jurisdictions’ rights to regulate ADUs.
• Said that at the present time there are no provisions for historic properties and staff thinks that should be incorporated into the ADU Ordinance in some manner. It would
be helpful for HPB to discuss this and offer feedback to be incorporated into the draft
ADU Ordinance.
• Advised that the Planning Commission recently conducted two study sessions to offer feedback to staff in order to accommodate the next revisions.
• Said that some cities prohibit ADU’s outright on historic properties but the Board
may want to consider types of standards. Using a portion of a house, mostly interior
work, is the easiest option.
• Added that not much design review is allowed.
• Said that placement of ADU can be anywhere on a property subject to setbacks. Board Member Blake said that evaluating an historic house is focused on the
streetscape and façade and how it is integrated into its neighborhood.
Board Member Kendall:
• Advised that her home is a Landmark home.
• Added that no changes are allowed to the exterior of her house.
• Stated that she doesn’t have sufficient room to have an ADU on her property.
Planner Daniel Fama admitted that he is not exactly sure whether use of Mills Act
dollars are appropriate being used for an addition.
Board Member Blake agreed with the points made in the report. Planner Daniel Fama’s suggestions are good. Page 3 references a zoning exception.
Board Member Moore said the purpose is to relax regulations.
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Reiterated that State law takes out public review.
• Added that we must have standards that are objective and not subjective.
• Suggested crafting firmer but objective standards for historic structures.
Board Member Kendall referenced page 2 of 3 and pointed out that the first six listed
points demonstrates that zoning exceptions go to the Planning Commission rather than
to the Historic Preservation Board.
Board Member Walter asked if zoning exceptions are included in the new Historic
Preservation Ordinance. How does the HP Ordinance apply to ADU’s?
Board Member Moore asked how many properties are eligible for ADU’s.
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 6 of 10
Planner Daniel Fama said it is estimated that there are 2,000 properties eligible for an ADU.
Board Member Moore pointed out that there are just 127 properties designated as
historic. Planner Daniel Fama:
• Stated that changes to State law are acting like a hammer on local oversight of
ADU’s.
• Adding that laws supporting ADU’s will trump the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
• Suggested that if the Board wants a zoning exception process to allow them some
flexibility they should modify this HP Ordinance to address ADU’s. Board Member Blake asked about design review.
Planner Daniel Fama said there is no design review and no public hearing. The State is
taking it away. Board Member Blake asked why even discuss this issue if that is the case.
Planner Daniel Fama said that we can still create objective standards applicable across
the board. Chair Foulkes said that attached versus detached ADU’s on an historic property is a
critical issue. He asked staff if a barn is qualified for conversion into an ADU.
Planner Daniel Fama said existing space within a dwelling and existing detached structures are eligible.
Chair Foulkes:
• Said that historic properties are often on a small lot.
• Stated his preference for a detached ADU building rather adding onto an historic
residence.
• Added that he would support encroaching on a lot line setback to protect a historic structure.
• Suggested pushing hard to not allow an attached ADU be added onto an historic
structure but provide a clearer path for detached ADU’s.
Board Member Kendall:
• Pointed out that a barn has no structure on the inside. There are no interior walls,
electrical or plumbing.
• Concluded that as a result they are not as likely to be allowed to be converted.
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Said it doesn’t deal with what it needs in order to convert. The intent is to convert a
structure and not to rebuild it altogether.
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 7 of 10
• Cautioned that some structures are not reusable.
• Added that it needs to be clear what it actually takes to convert a building since a
totally new detached ADU must meet current development standards.
• Added that an existing building located within setbacks could be converted but not
rebuilt.
Board Member Walter:
• Said he is on the fence between attached and detached ADU’s.
• Pointed out that some lots are so small that we won’t even see ADU’s located at the
back.
• Stated that he is in favor of ADU’s in the rear of a lot but not at the front.
• Stressed the need for consistency.
• Questioned whether an attached ADU and/or a detached ADU lends itself better.
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Said that is a challenging question and there is not just one answer.
• Added that no matter what is adopted someone will still not be able to do what they
want in regards to an ADU.
Chair Foulkes said that he finds detached ADU’s to be better.
Planner Daniel Fama said that a homeowner can start out with an addition and later do
a conversion of that space into an attached ADU. ADU’s are specifically supported
under State law even if it’s not really fair.
Board Member Walters:
• Asked if ADU size is based on lot size.
• Suggested perhaps requiring a detached ADU on a large lot but allowing for an
attached ADU on a smaller lot.
Board Member Blake:
• Pointed out that a lot of historic houses are located at the front of a large and deep
lot.
• Said that those lots are more likely to determine a better option there.
Board Member Moore reminded that the front façade is the critical part of a historic
home.
Planner Daniel Fama reminded that ADU’s sidestep normal review process. He added
that attached versus detached is a size issue as an attached ADU can by right be half of
the house size. Attached ADU’s can be up to 1,200 square feet.
Board Member Moore said that a larger ADU is better than tearing down a building and
putting in an apartment building.
Board Member Kendall asked if a garage can be attached to ADU’s.
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 8 of 10
Planner Daniel Fama said that the Planning Commission felt that size restrictions were unnecessary and instead felt that using the FAR standards to determine size would
suffice.
Board Member Blake asked staff if the Board has provided enough feedback. Planner Daniel Fama sought clarification that the HPB supports allowing attached
ADU’s on historic structures.
Board Member Kendall replied yes but at the back. Not upstairs on a one-story house. Planner Daniel Fama reiterated the support for attached ADU’s that are located at the
back and not second story.
Chair Foulkes said he was not in favor of attached ADU’s on historic structures. Board Member Blake asked at what PC meeting the ADU Ordinance would next be
considered.
Planner Daniel Fama:
• Said that will depend on when the Ordinance is drafted.
• Reported that on May 7th Council will consider whether the scope of the ADU
Ordinance to allow changes in one area should be allowed.
• Advised that he must first complete the draft of the ADU Ordinance, allow time for
the City Attorney to review the draft and then bring it back to the Planning
Commission for public hearing.
4. National Historic Preservation Month Commemoration:
Discussion on Historic Preservation Board activities for commemoration of National
Historic Preservation Month.
Planner Daniel Fama asked the Board if they have any ideas for Historic Preservation Month.
Board Member Kendall:
• Asked whether a “Did you know” trivia game might be developed on historical topics ranging from buildings, people and things within the community.
• Suggested that the different trivia questions be posted onto NextDoor and
incorporate supporting pictures.
Board Member Blake referenced History Mystery.
Planner Daniel Fama advised that the City has a Social Media Coordinator operating
out of the Police Department who could be a useful resource in media outreach.
Historic Preservation Board Minutes for April 24, 2019 Page 9 of 10
Board Member Blake suggested spreading out the various trivia items.
Board Member Walter suggested adding this trivia game to the walking tour app.
Planner Daniel Fama said he would check in with PD. If okay, we can feed the Social Media Coordinator Letysia Garcia the HPB content she can post as appropriate.
Board Member Kendall referenced famous unsolved murders.
Board Member Blake:
• Suggested as one project for HPB to commemorate Historic Preservation Month
could be preparing a Letter of Commendation for the owners of 300 Orchard City
Drive for their recent major renovation of that historic site.
• Added that another good thing to highlight would be the 11 Historic Landmarks located in Campbell.
• Reported that there is a Facebook page called Campbell Water Tower that covers
issues of interest to the people who love Campbell.
• Agreed that NextDoor is another outreach tool.
• Suggested that the HPB coordinate a celebration of the re-opening of Pino’s
restaurant at 360 E. Campbell Avenue when the historic building’s renovations are completed.
Board Member Walter:
• Suggested that the HPB conduct one of its meetings at Pino’s restaurant.
• Said that letters of recognition could be written during the month of May. Perhaps
thanking property owners for their work to retain their historic houses.
• Commending On-Site, public kudos, displays, website and newspaper articles. OLD BUSINESS
5. Kennedy Tract Surveys:
Discuss surveyed Kennedy Tract properties.
Planner Daniel Fama gave the following staff report:
• Advised that the current potentials spreadsheet list was translated into a Word document.
• Added that he removed those properties that the HPB decided to remove from
consideration at the last meeting.
• Stated that Board Member Kendall has also reviewed the El Caminito properties.
At this point, Planner Daniel Fama provided a visual tour of the homes under
consideration on El Caminito Avenue, California Street and Cherry Lane as possible
potential additions to the HRI. As a group, the members evaluated the streetscape
frontage photographs using Google Earth. The options were: No, Maybe or No Change. The results are as follows:

Catalpa Lane
At this point, the Board decided to review and consider the homes on Catalpa Lane at
its next meeting on May 22nd. Planner Daniel Fama said he would try to have the permits for those properties
available for the next meeting
ADJOURNMENT The Historic Preservation Board meeting adjourned at 6:36 p.m. to the next Regular

Item No. 2
CITY OF CAMPBELL ∙ HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Staff Report ∙ MAY 22, 2019
PLN2019-89 Spanu
Public Hearing to consider the application of Pino Spanu for a Tier 1 Historic
Resource Alteration Permit (PLN2019-89) to allow installation of a
retractable awning on a Structure of Merit commonly known as the Second
Bank of Campbell Building on property located at 360 E Campbell Avenue in the C-3 (Central Business District) Zoning District. (Resolution/Roll Call Vote)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the Historic Preservation Board take one of the following actions:
1.Adopt a Resolution (reference Attachment 1), recommending that the Planning Commission
deny a Tier 1 Historic Resource Alteration Permit (PLN2019-89); OR
2.Adopt a Resolution (reference Attachment 2), recommending that the CommunityDevelopment Director approve a Tier 1 Historic Resource Alteration Permit (PLN2019-89).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
As the Board is not the decision-making authority on this request, its action is not considered a
"project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as defined by Public Resources Code § 21065.
DISCUSSION
Project Site: The project site is located at the southwest corner of Campbell and Central Avenues
within the C-3 (Central Business District) Zoning District. The property is developed with the Second Bank of Campbell Building, a designated Structure of Merit constructed circa 1911 in an Italian Renaissance Revival style (reference Attachment 3 – DPR Form).
Background: On July 25, 2017, the Planning Commission, upon recommendation of the Historic
Preservation Board, approved a Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76) to allow a
minor addition, façade restoration, and seismic retrofit of the Second Bank of Campbell Building. Minor changes to the approved design and window material were also approved by the Planning
Commission on March 12, 2019. Construction activity is still ongoing.
Separate from the overall project, the proprietor of the restaurant housed within the building
approached staff regarding adding a retractable awning and wall-mounted lighting and heating
fixtures. The Community Development Director forwarded this request to the Board for an informal review to help guide his decision as to whether an awning "would not alter the character-
defining features of the structure…" At its meeting March 27, 2019, the Board reviewed the
awning request and expressed concern that installation could damage the building, overly conceal
the easterly building façade, and interrupt the rhythm of the windows. Based on the Board's
feedback, the Community Development Director denied the request for the awning.
Staff Report – Historic Preservation Board Meeting of May 22, 2019 Page 2 of 3
PLN2019-89 ~ 360 E. Campbell Avenue
Following the Board meeting, staff met with the applicants to discuss next steps. Since there was
continuing disagreement over the Community Development Director's decision, the Director
indicated that the awning request could go back the Board as a Historic Resource Alteration Permit
(Tier 1). If upon further review the Board is amendable to the awning, the Board could recommend approval of a Historic Resource Alteration Permit such that the Community Development Director
would approve the awning as a "minor change" to the approved Site and Architectural Review
Permit (PLN2016-76).1 However, if the Board maintains concerns about the awning, it could
recommend denial of the Historic Resource Alteration Permit (Tier 1), which in turn would require
the request to be processed as a "major change" subject to the review and decision by the Planning Commission as a Modification to the Site and Architectural Review Permit.
ANALYSIS
Recommendation of a Tier 1 Historic Resource Alteration Permit requires the Board to find that
the project complies with the Campbell Municipal Code and applicable design guidelines, and
would not have a "significant impact" on the historic resource. Additionally, the project must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards such that the decision-making body can
affirmatively find:
(a) The proposed action will preserve and retain the historic character of the historic
resource and will be compatible with the existing historic features, size, massing, scale
and proportion, and materials.
(b) The proposed action will, to the greatest extent possible, avoid removal or significant
alteration of distinctive materials, features, finishes, and spatial relationships that
characterize the historic resource.
(c) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced to the greatest extent
possible.
(d) New additions will be differentiated from the historic resource and will be constructed
such that the essential form and integrity of the historic resource shall be protected if
the addition is removed in the future.
To what extent the proposed awning would be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards and the aforementioned finidings, is a matter for the Board to discuss and determine. The applicants have provided revised plans in response to the Board's previous comments that
show installation of three separated awnings installed at the windows' midline (reference
Attachment 4). The plans also show that installation can be accomplished through drilling into
the grout joints, as supported by an engineer's calculation (reference Attachment 5), in order to
protect the historic brickwork. Additionally, a PowerPoint presentation that includes revised photo-simulations of the awning system is provided as Attachment 6. The applicants will be in
attendance to present to the Board and take questions.
1 Per CMC Sec. 21.56.060.C, a "minor change" is one that does not change the overall character of the proposed development" and would maintain consistency with the "all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the spirit
and intent of the original approval".

BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
BOARD OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING DENIAL
OF A TIER 1 HISTORIC RESOURCE ALTERATION PERMIT TO
ALLOW INSTALLATION OF A RETRACTABLE AWNING SYSTEM, ON A STRUCTURE OF MERIT COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE
SECOND BANK OF CAMPBELL BUILDING ON PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 360 E. CAMPBELL AVENUE IN THE C-3 (CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT) ZONING DISTRICT.
FILE NO: PLN2019-89
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Board Secretary, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The Historic Preservation Board finds as follows with regards to file number PLN2019-89:
1.The project site is located at the southwest corner of Campbell and Central Avenues
in Historic Downtown Campbell.
2.The project site is zoned C-3 (Central Business District) on the City of CampbellZoning Map.
3.The project site is designated Central Commercial on the City of Campbell General
Plan Land Use diagram.
4.The project site is an approximately 1,500 square-foot commercial property
developed with the Second Bank of Campbell Building, a designated Structure ofMerit constructed circa 1911 in an Italian Renaissance Revival style.
5.On July 25, 2017, the Planning Commission approved a Site and Architectural
Review Permit (PLN2016-76) to allow a minor addition, façade restoration and
seismic retrofit of the Second Bank of Campbell Building; and a Modification
(PLN2016-99) to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (PLN2007-183) tomodify the interior configuration of an existing restaurant with approved general
alcohol sales and late-night operational hours.
6.On March 12, 2019, the Planning Commission approved a Modification to a
previously approved Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76), including a
Historic Resource Alteration Permit (Tier 1), to allow a revised window and doordesign.
7.Subsequent to the Planning Commission's March 12, 2019, approval, the proprietor
of the restaurant within the subject building, expressed a desire to install a retractable
awning system on the subject building ("applicant").
8.The Community Development Director forwarded this initial request to the HistoricPreservation Board informally to aid in his decision as to whether the awning system
could be approved through the "expedited process" for changes would not alter the
character-defining features of the structure of merit, pursuant to Campbell Municipal
Code Section 21.33.070.B.1.a(1).
Attachment 1
Historic Preservation Board Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 2 of 4 PLN2019-89 ~ 360 E. Campbell Ave.
9.The Historic Preservation Board reviewed this request at its meeting of March 27,2019. Based on the concerns raised by the Board, the Community Development
Director subsequently denied the applicant's request to install an awning system.
10.Due to continuing disagreement on this decision, the Community Development
Director determined that the request would return to the Board as a "Tier 1" Historic
Resource Alteration Permit.
11.The proposed project, therefore, is installation of a retractable awning system that
includes a separated awning over each of the three windows on the easterly building
façade (Central Avenue side).
12.Campbell Municipal Code (CMC) Section 21.33.070.B.2 (Discretionary Permit
Applications) requires that discretionary development applications affecting a historicresource be reviewed in accordance with the standards for a "Tier 1" Historic
Resource Alteration Permit, provided in Section 21.33.080 (Historic Resource
Alteration Permit (Tier 1).
13.If the Board recommends approval of a Historic Resource Alteration Permit, the
Community Development Director would approve the awning as a "minor change" tothe approved Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76). If the Board
recommends denial, the awning would be considered a "major change," requiring a
formal Modification to the Site and Architectural Review Permit to be considered by
the Planning Commission.
14.The proposed awning system would overly conceal the easterly building façade andinterrupt the rhythm of the windows.
15.Pursuant to CMC Sec. 21.56.060.C, a "minor change" is one that does not change
the overall character of the proposed development" and would maintain consistency
with the "all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the spirit and intent of the
original approval," whereas a "major change" would not.
16.The proposed project is consistent with the C-3 (Central Business District) Design
Standards with respect to building mass, building form and composition, storefront
design, materials, colors, and finishes, and overall building quality.
17.The proposed project would be consistent with the following General Plan policies:
Policy LUT-8.1:Historic Buildings, Landmarks and Districts and Cultural Resources: Preserve, rehabilitate or restore the City’s historic buildings, landmarks, districts and
cultural resources and retain the architectural integrity of established building patterns within historic residential neighborhoods to preserve the cultural
heritage of the community.

BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
BOARD OF THE CITY OF CAMPBELL RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF A TIER 1 HISTORIC RESOURCE ALTERATION
PERMIT TO ALLOW INSTALLATION OF A RETRACTABLE AWNING SYSTEM AS A MINOR CHANGE TO A PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED SITE AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW PERMIT
(PLN2016-76), ON A STRUCTURE OF MERIT COMMONLY
KNOWN AS THE SECOND BANK OF CAMPBELL BUILDING ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 360 E. CAMPBELL AVENUE IN THE C-3 (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT) ZONING DISTRICT.
FILE NO: PLN2019-89
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law and after presentation by the
Board Secretary, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
The Historic Preservation Board finds as follows with regards to file number PLN2019-89:
1.The project site is located at the southwest corner of Campbell and Central Avenuesin Historic Downtown Campbell.
2.The project site is zoned C-3 (Central Business District) on the City of Campbell
Zoning Map.
3.The project site is designated Central Commercial on the City of Campbell General
Plan Land Use diagram.
4.The project site is an approximately 1,500 square-foot commercial property
developed with the Second Bank of Campbell Building, a designated Structure of
Merit constructed circa 1911 in an Italian Renaissance Revival style.
5.On July 25, 2017, the Planning Commission approved a Site and Architectural
Review Permit (PLN2016-76) to allow a minor addition, façade restoration andseismic retrofit of the Second Bank of Campbell Building; and a Modification
(PLN2016-99) to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (PLN2007-183) to
modify the interior configuration of an existing restaurant with approved general
alcohol sales and late-night operational hours.
6.On March 12, 2019, the Planning Commission approved a Modification to apreviously approved Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76), including a
Historic Resource Alteration Permit (Tier 1), to allow a revised window and door
design.
7.Subsequent to the Planning Commission's March 12, 2019, approval, the proprietor
of the restaurant within the subject building, expressed a desire to install a retractableawning system on the subject building ("applicant").
8.The Community Development Director forwarded this initial request to the Historic
Preservation Board informally to aid in his decision as to whether the awning system
could be approved through the "expedited process" for changes would not alter the
Attachment 2
Historic Preservation Board Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 2 of 4 PLN2019-89 ~ 360 E. Campbell Ave.
character-defining features of the structure of merit, pursuant to Campbell Municipal Code Section 21.33.070.B.1.a(1).
9.The Historic Preservation Board reviewed this request at its meeting of March 27,
2019. Based on the concerns raised by the Board, the Community Development
Director subsequently denied the applicant's request to install an awning system.
10.Due to continuing disagreement on this decision, the Community DevelopmentDirector determined that the request would return to the Board as a "Tier 1" Historic
Resource Alteration Permit.
11.The proposed project, therefore, is installation of a retractable awning system that
includes a separated awning over each of the three windows on the easterly building
façade (Central Avenue side).
12.Campbell Municipal Code (CMC) Section 21.33.070.B.2 (Discretionary Permit
Applications) requires that discretionary development applications affecting a historic
resource be reviewed in accordance with the standards for a "Tier 1" Historic
Resource Alteration Permit, provided in Section 21.33.080 (Historic Resource
Alteration Permit (Tier 1).
13.If the Board recommends approval of a Historic Resource Alteration Permit, the
Community Development Director would approve the awning as a "minor change" to
the approved Site and Architectural Review Permit (PLN2016-76). If the Board
recommends denial, the awning would be considered a "major change," requiring a
formal Modification to the Site and Architectural Review Permit to be considered bythe Planning Commission.
14.The proposed awning system would not overly conceal the easterly building façade,
or interrupt the rhythm of the windows.
15.Pursuant to CMC Sec. 21.56.060.C, a "minor change" is one that does not change
the overall character of the proposed development" and would maintain consistencywith the "all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code and the spirit and intent of the
original approval," whereas a "major change" would not.
16.The proposed project is consistent with the C-3 (Central Business District) Design
Standards with respect to building mass, building form and composition, storefront
design, materials, colors, and finishes, and overall building quality.
17.The proposed project would be consistent with the following General Plan policies:
Policy LUT-8.1:Historic Buildings, Landmarks and Districts and Cultural Resources: Preserve,
rehabilitate or restore the City’s historic buildings, landmarks, districts and cultural resources and retain the architectural integrity of established building
patterns within historic residential neighborhoods to preserve the cultural heritage of the community.
Strategy LUT-8.1c: Adaptive Re-Use: Encourage adaptive reuse of and incorporation of the city’s historic buildings and structures for new development projects, when feasible.
Historic Preservation Board Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 3 of 4 PLN2019-89 ~ 360 E. Campbell Ave.

Policy D-4.1: Historic Preservation and Redevelopment Compatibility: The small town character of Downtown Campbell shall be maintained by encouraging the
preservation of important historic resources, promoting the improvement of existing properties and businesses, and encouraging new development
compatible in design with existing and newly approved development.
18.No substantial evidence has been presented which shows that the project, as
currently presented will have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Historic Preservation Board further finds and
concludes that:
Historic Resource Alteration Permit – Tier 1 Findings (CMC Sec. 21.33.080):
1.The proposed action is consistent with the purposes of this chapter and the
applicable requirements of the Municipal Code;
2.The proposed action is consistent with the applicable design guidelines, including, butnot limited to, the Historic Design Guidelines for Residential Buildings;
3.The proposed action will not have a significant impact on the aesthetic, architectural,
cultural, or engineering interest or historical value of the historic resource or district;
4.The proposed action is consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, as
follows:
a.The proposed action will preserve and retain the historic character of the
historic resource and will be compatible with the existing historic features, size,
massing, scale and proportion, and materials.
b.The proposed action will, to the greatest extent possible, avoid removal or
significant alteration of distinctive materials, features, finishes, and spatialrelationships that characterize the historic resource.
c.Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced to the
greatest extent possible.
d.New additions will be differentiated from the historic resource and will be
constructed such that the essential form and integrity of the historic resourceshall be protected if the addition is removed in the future.

The second Bank of Campbell was built in 1911 and located on the southwest corner of E. Campbell Avenue and Central Avenue. While here the bank was merged with the Garden City Bank of San Jose and later merged with the American Trust Company. Since it ceased being a bank, there have been many tenant, including the Ford Motor Company which used it as a showroom; the Campbell Water Company offices; Jeffer’s Clothing Store; an acrobatic shop; and finally in 1978 the Western Lifetime Cookware. A store front was added (date unknown) however, the interior has retained the original woodwork, plaster and bank vault. With little restoration work required this architectural structure of merit is important in maintaining the visual character of the commercial row of Downtown Campbell.

General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) City of Campbell 70 N First Street Campbell, CA 95008
Dear GPAC Members,
As you resume your discussions on the future of Campbell we urge you to also give
consideration to the community's past. Remembrance of our history is vital for Campbell to maintain
its cultural heritage in the years to come. If we make a concerted effort to highlight the importance of historic preservation in our new General Plan, we may yet succeed in passing on the stories and physical artifacts of our history to another generation.
Specifically, the Board encourages the GPAC to explore ways to breathe life into Campbell's
history through use of narrative and graphical interpretation. An excellent example may be found in the City of Richmond's 2030 General Plan, which incorporates a separate Element dedicated to historic preservation (http://bit.ly/HistoryRichmond). By providing a visually attractive and engaging
history of Richmond's past, this General Plan provides a deep grounding for its adopted policies and
goals, strengthening the bonds between past and present. Although the era of the Valley of Hearts
Delight may be behind us, we must not forget our origins as The Orchard City.
We thank you for your time and commitment to the Campbell community.
Sincerely,

From: Daniel Fama, Senior Planner
Subject: Kennedy Tract Survey
Last year, the Historic Preservation Board took preliminary steps to identify potentially
historically significant properties in the Kennedy Tract neighborhood. Individual Board
Members were assigned individual streets to survey:
Moore: Catalpa Lane
Kendall: El Caminito Ave
Walter: Cherry Lane
Foulkes: Budd Avenue
Blake: California Street
At the April 24th meeting, the Board reviewed the El Caminito Avenue properties identified by
Board Member Kendall. As noted in the Meeting Minutes, only one of these properties was
selected by the Board for further review (207). The Kennedy Tract spreadsheet has been updated
to reflect the removal of the other properties (reference Attachment 1). The Board also reviewed
building permit records for properties on California Avenue and Cherry Lane that had been previously identified for further review and decided to make no changes. Lastly, staff performed
a permit search on the Catalpa Lane properties, which have been noted in the spreadsheet.
As discussed previously, the Board should be ready to discuss the merits of the properties under
considerations at the Board meeting so that the list may be further winnowed down.
