Subject:Re: 680 and 700 E. McGlincy Storage Project Proposal
Importance:High
Mr. Fama:
I am reaching back out in response to the Oct 9th letter that my family and I received from the City of Campbell in
regards to the proposed multi-story public storage facility on McGlincy Rd. In addition to the below stated, there is an
understanding that the new proposal would further increase the F.A.R. to 1.26 and include 4 APN’s (lots) as one or
separate structure(s) (from map layout on side two). In past proposals, the City Council has been concerned about
several items related to this type of multi-story project and its impact on the Regas neighborhood. This includes
saturation control, the F.A.R. request is much greater than the allowable for a residential area in Campbell (now
proposed at 1.26), single use building that is only designed for one purpose, and windows that light all night would be
disruptive to neighbors. Have these issues that the Council has brought up in the past been adequately addressed in
relation to preserving our residential neighborhood?
There are several aspects of this proposed project that are concerning.
1. Two A massive 3 story building that will directly shadow our homes, as well as other homes around us. This
will alter the look and feel of our home and our Campbell Village neighborhood.
2. The height of these buildings will rise above any fences, trees, other builds for blocks and blocks and will
look directly into our home, yard and neighborhood. Nowhere else in Campbell is there a direct multi-story
commercial-to-residential contact to our knowledge.
3. Does the proposal allow for adequate setback from our residential homes, possibly a green belt or tree
line?
4. This high-density facility will increase traffic and noise at all hours. It is unclear if there will be restrictions on
hours of operation, if any.
5. All of this will drive down property values in the Campbell Village neighborhoods and alter the charm of our
Campbell neighborhood.

Mr. Fama-
This email is in regard to a public notice letter that we received while out of country the last two weeks (on a family
vacation) and were unaware of the Planning Commission’s agenda for last night. We just arrived in town this evening
and were very disappointed that we missed this critical meeting. I must weigh in with my feedback as a >20-year
resident of Campbell and share the same concerns that you and I discussed earlier in the year about the proposal by Mr.
Chalmers to install a multi-story facility on McGlincy Rd. As we did not receive the notice before leaving the country, we
will send our input via email.
There are several aspects of this proposed project that are concerning.
1. Two 3 story buildings will directly shadow our home as well as other homes around us. This will alter the
look and feel of our home and our neighborhood.
2. The height of these buildings will rise above any fences or trees and will look directly into our home and
yard. No where else in Campbell is there this kind of direct multi-story commercial-to-residential contact to
our knowledge.
3. Does the proposal allow for adequate setback from our residential homes, possibly a green belt or tree
line?
4. This high-density facility will increase traffic and noise at all hours. It is unclear if there will be restrictions on
hours of operation, if any.
5. All of this will drive down property values on Regas and alter the charm of our Campbell neighborhood.
In addition, in past proposals the City Council has been concerned about several items related to this type of multi-

We are available to discuss any of the above with you personally. Please keep us posted on further
proposals/meetings.
