Re: File No: PLN2019-39/40/41/42 Address: 2575 / 2585 S. Winchester Boulevard Application: Planned Development Permit, Tree Removal Permit
Status: Incomplete
Dear Mr. Wong:
Thank you for your submittal of a development permit application to allow the demolition of two
residential single-story homes to construct a 48-foot tall, 15-unit apartment building with at-
grade and underground parking. The purpose of this letter is to provide staff comment in
anticipation of a formal project submittal. Please note that this review letter is limited to the
overall project design concept and should not be not construed as a substitute for formal project review. Based on a review of the application materials, the Campbell Municipal Code (CMC),
and the City of Campbell Uniform Development Application, your application has been deemed
incomplete, pursuant to CMC Sec. 21.38.040 and the California Permit Streamlining Act. The
following additional information and revisions to the plans are needed in order to continue
processing of this application:
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. Context of Review: The plans appear to attempt consistency with the development
standards of the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan (WBMP)1 which is strongly
encouraged to be followed as a guideline for this project. For reference, the following land use and development standards (among others) apply to projects in Area 1:
1 More specifically this project is encouraged to be treated as an extension of “Area 1”.

Comparing these standards, it is recommended to setback parking 8-feet from the rear property line to provide adequate room for meaningful landscaping in this area, which is currently proposed as a biorention area (you may consider cutting triangles into the edges
of the parking areas to add room for trees). Additionally, parts of the building encroach
into required setbacks.
Further, while the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan’s frontage improvements are less than clear (would require clarification) – the following exhibit attempts to clarify these standards and outline the approach design approach for Sub Area 1. As noted, a planting
strip, drought tolerant turf, groundcover, and/or permeable surfacing is meant to be
within the first 10-feet along the property line and a dedication is encouraged. Please be
advised this would require an additional 7-feet dedication above and beyond what is being requested by Public Works (see attached memo).
Note: Essentially, if it is your intention to indicate that the project is compliant with the
Winchester Boulevard Master Plan (or be able to state that before the decision-making
body as a reason to support the project) changes such as these would need to be made.
2. Project Fees: The application fees were collected in error; the project appears to include a Density Bonus Request ($4,704) where the fee for a Non-Density Bonus Request was
paid ($3,920). Accounting for a 2% technology fee the amount paid/owed and due tallies
as follows:
$3,998.40 ($3,920 + $78.4 ~2% tech fee) = Amount Paid
$4,798.08 ($4,704 + $94.08 ~2% tech fee) = Amount Owed
$799.68 = Amount Due / Difference
If a density bonus project is not proposed; see discussion under ‘Project Scope’; see Sheet
A000. Note: Additional fees may also be required to review a parcel map.
3. Architectural Advisor: The subject project triggers review by the City’s Architectural
Advisor. A deposit of $3,000 is required to start this review. Any money not used by the contract will be reimbursed.
4. Development Permit Application Requirements: The following required items were
missing from the application package:
a. Streetscape Drawing

70 North First Street • Campbell, CA 95008-1423 • TEL (408) 866-2140 • FAX (408) 866-5140 • E-MAIL planning@cityofcampbell.com
b. Circulation Plan
c. Trash Management Plan
d. Furniture/Site Amenity Plan
e. Emergency Access Plan
f. Privacy Plan
g. Below Market Rate Housing Plan
h. Mail Delivery Plan
i. CEQA Technical Documents
a. Note: The City Traffic Engineer noted the following topics for site circulation
evaluation:
(1) Access onto Winchester (2) Corner visibility (3) Driveway visibility
(4) Parking.
For clarity on the specific items required for each of these submittal materials please
review the City of Campbell Uniform Development Application which is available online on the City’s Zoning and Land Use page. Each term is defined, with associated
specifications and requirements for submittal.
5. Landscaping Requirements: Please update the plans to incorporate the minimum
landscaping required by the Campbell Municipal Code. General requirements for
landscaping in all zoning districts can be found in Chapter 21.26 of the Campbell Municipal Code. Parking lot landscaping requirements can be found codified under
21.28.080.G which, among other things, requires landscaped areas to be provided at a
rate of twenty square feet for each parking space and a minimum of one tree per eight
parking spaces in situations where twenty-five or more parking spaces are provided.
6. Screening and Buffering Requirements: Screening between different zoning districts must be provided pursuant to the requirements of 21.18.120 of the Campbell Municipal
Code. If a fence/wall taller than six-feet is proposed, please clarify that as part of your
permit request as special findings would need to be made to approve the request.
7. San Leandro: The template used for this project was presumably a project in San
Leandro; a few erroneous references to San Leandro and that project occur in the project notes throughout. The plan revisions (noted below) serve to capture a few of these; but in
general an additional sweep through the plans to clean up old references and/or
requirements is recommended.
8. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance: As the project has more than 10-units, 15% of the units
must be affordable. Please indicate the location and level of affordability proposed (i.e. low and very low) based on the requirements of the inclusionary ordinance.
PLAN REVISIONS
9. Cover Sheet & Information (Sheet A000): The following must be revised:
PLN2019-39 to 42 ~2575 & 2585 S. Winchester Boulevard Page 4 of 9
70 North First Street • Campbell, CA 95008-1423 • TEL (408) 866-2140 • FAX (408) 866-5140 • E-MAIL planning@cityofcampbell.com
a. Project Intent: The project intent indicates that the project ‘aims to propose a zoning amendment’ where no application for a zoning map and/or zoning code amendment has been proposed in association with the application. The current understanding of
the project is that the project is comply with current zoning (i.e. P-D) which would
generally preclude future conversion of the project to condominium units (i.e. C-PD).
If a zoning map amendment is proposed with the permit please include this as part of your written request paying fees as appropriate to facilitate the review.
b. Project Scope:
• Parking. Please clarify which set of parking standards the project intends to
follow; transit-oriented, density-bonus, etc.; as proposed the project exceeds the parking requirement for a density-bonus project, but falls short of the parking requirement for a transit-oriented development. As such, the project would need
to be revised to add additional parking spaces and/or a parking modification
permit would be required as a project consideration (not recommended). If
proposed as a transit-oriented development please provide an exhibit demonstrating how it satisfies the definition.
• Lot Line Adjustment. The project scope includes a proposal for a lot line
adjustment which, while true, would be imposed as a condition on the project.
Alternatively, it is recommended to apply for a parcel map which could be
reviewed/processed concurrently and could serve to resolve several issues at once – such as a 10-foot light/air easement generally along the Winchester Boulevard
side of the property, and any required vacations/dedications. See Public Works
Department comment letter.
c. Project Information: The project information references following the ‘base district
guidelines’ of the C-2 and R-3 zoning districts. Staff would recommend following the standards contained in the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan as the basis of review; except in circumstances where the plan is silent. Once again it appears the project
attempted to follow the standards of the Winchester Boulevard Master Plan (i.e.
slopeline) but the standards stated on the cover sheet (i.e. 10-foot rear setback) don’t appear to be consistent with the approach presented in the plans. To clarify/correct these inconsistencies – please state the baseline standard and source the project is
attempting to comply with, and the actual standard/setback provided. For instance,
10-feet rear setback is required by the C-2, where ‘X’-feet has been provided. This
could be provided in a summary table comparing standards.
d. Parcel Map & Vicinity Map: The parcel map should highlight or otherwise identify the project site with symbols, dots, etc. The vicinity map is incorrect; showing Nido
drive to the south of the proposed project and street lines that do not exist. Please
correct both exhibits; a snapshot from google maps could be used to replace the
vicinity map.
10. Architectural Notes and Symbols (Sheet A001): The following revisions are required:
a. Deferred Submittals: (Required Revision) Either omit this section or make it reflect
the need for future encroachment permit, lot line adjustment, etc.; if a parcel map is
proposed to be included in the package (recommended), then the item should not be
listed as deferred.

b. General Notes: #10 – Paint Color must be specified pre-entitlement for this project making this note inaccurate. It is further recommended to add a note a responsibility
to ensure the project is being built in compliance with the Conditions of Approval.
11. SF Exhibit and Adjacent Land Uses (Sheet A002): The following must be revised:
a. Gross Lot Area: The total gross lot sf analysis is inadequate (roughly approximating
the gross floor area of the project over an assessor’s parcel map without showing how net and gross areas were calculated). Please have a surveyor/engineer confirm the net and gross lot size of the project on one of the civil drawings that also reflects
centerline of street (such as the boundary survey and topographic map; Sheet C-1).
12. Project Data, Occupancy, and Egress Analysis (Sheet A004): The following additional
details must be provided.
a. Site Accessibility Diagram: Please demonstrate that a vertical clearance of 8-feet, 2-
inches is provided where required for accessible entrances/paths of travel with a
supporting exhibit (i.e. consider expanding Sheet 6 of 11 of the Ramp Profile). This
exhibit should take into account any required lighting fixtures and/or fire sprinklers
which would encroach into the vertical clearance area. Please check with the Building Official.
b. Trash Enclosure: The proposed trash enclosure does not appear to be accessible as
designed (requires wheelchair access to be made through an active drive aisle) and
may need to be made accessible. It is also not clear if a mandoor is required to access
this room that would be operable by a non-able bodied person. Please check with the Building Official.
c. Columns: The columns are assumed to be able to carry a sufficient load and will not
be requested to be enlarged post-entitlement resulting in a reduction in parking
spaces.
d. Property Lines: The property lines are incorrectly reflected on the plans; proposed improvements are shown encroaching into the proposed setbacks.
13. Site Plan, Existing (Sheet A006): The following revisions and/or additional details are
required:
a. Demolition Notes: #3; please remove the reference to San Leandro; adjust to Santa
Clara County Fire Hazardous Materials Department.
b. Site Plan Keynotes: Please indicate the greater detail on #4; what is the condition of
the existing fence to be removed.
c. Property Line: The property line is reflected incorrectly.
d. Trees: Please detail all trees on the property; some trees are not labeled. Please
provide photographs of each tree to confirm species. If any protected trees are proposed for removal please apply for a tree removal permit and provide an arborist
report documenting their size/condition/species/health.
14. Site Plan, Proposed (Sheet A007):

a. EV Charging: Please indicate the location of any EV charging units; if proposed in an accessible path of travel – please demonstrate how sufficient accessible walkway clearances would be achieved around a conceptual unit.
b. Site Plan Keynotes: Please provide details for items 5 (the wall around), 7 (the
buffer/wall), & 10 (the proposed safety bollard design). Please be advised its
recommended to consider a fencing/screening barrier that incorporates security measures akin to bollards over installing bollards on the most prominent side of the building. It is also not clear why bollards are proposed in the area shown and not
elsewhere on the property.
c. Utilities: Please show the proposed location of any transformer, electrical switchbox,
gas meters, or similar equipment and/or backflow preventers, fire connections, taller than 12-inches off the ground and/or with a footprint greater than four square feet.
15. Parking Analysis (Sheet A008): The following additional details must be provided:
a. Calculations: Please include calculations for Clean Air Vehicle and Van Pool Parking
(CMC 21.28.075).
b. Parking Chart: The plans indicate the proposal for guest parking, but not accessible guest parking. Further, be advised that it appears accessible parking spaces are planned to be assigned to units which may be purchased by able bodied individuals
(but an abled bodied person would not be allowed to park in an accessible parking
space). Please check with the Building Official.
c. Parking Space Requirements: The plans indicate a parking requirement of 1.5 parking spaces per unit and 1 bicycle parking space per 25 automotive parking spaces. Please state the source of the bicycle parking requirement in the Building Code. For
residential parking please be advised the following parking standards would apply
(see General Comments on setbacks):
• Density Bonus: 2 bedroom x 15 units = 30 parking spaces; based on a requirement of two on-site parking requirements for two- to three-bedroom units.
(1) Based on this standard the project’s proposal of 37 parking spaces exceeds the
requirement.
• Transit Oriented: 2 x15 = 30 + ½ x 15 = 30 covered, plus 8 guest parking spaces; based on a parking requirement of 2 covered plus ½ space designated guest for
two or more bedroom units.
(1) Based on this standard the project’s proposal of 37 parking spaces is deficient
in two ways; one overall numerically and second based on the provision of uncovered vs. covered parking spaces. Further, please be advised that tandem parking (as proposed for 34-37) is discretionary and may not be granted as
part of the planned development permit. A parking modification request
would be required to consider review of this permit based on transit-oriented
standards.
• Bicycle Parking: The bicycle parking rack is indicated as having a capacity of 5 bikes; but only 2 bicycle parking spaces are indicated as provided.
d. Required Parking Aisle Width: While the City only requires 20-feet (24-feet
indicated) for a two-way drive aisle, please be advised the City requires a 25-foot
PLN2019-39 to 42 ~2575 & 2585 S. Winchester Boulevard Page 7 of 9

backup distance for stalls parked at 90-degrees (see Table 3-2 – Off-Street Parking Dimensions; CMC 21.28.080). Please dimension the backup distance of every-stall and/or provide a 25-foot drive aisle throughout.
16. Fire Analysis (Sheet A009): The following additional details must be provided:
a. Fire Safety Code 11: The site is not located in a wildland/urban interface area; please
remove this erroneous note.
b. Fire Safety Code 13: The property is not being subdivided so therefore there is no subdivider; a parcel map and/or lot line adjustment would serve to merge the lots.
c. Fire Safety Code 14: Please indicate where vehicle access roads and driveways are
proposed (if any).
17. Boundary Survey and Topographic Map (Sheet 1 of 1): The following must be revised:
a. Provide have this sheet signed by the civil engineer.
b. Please note the property line is incorrect.
c. Several building setback lines and easements are shown that would need to be
vacated/resolved; it’s recommended to submit a request for a parcel map that could
clean all these issues up with one permit as opposed to multiple instruments.
18. Onsite Grading and Drainage Plans (Sheet 1 to 11):
a. Sheet 2: The property line is reflected incorrectly; please revise. Also, while not
technically incorrect - it is strange to reflect an offsite PUE when onsite easements are
not reflected on this plan; almost suggests an error.
b. Sheet 3: DMA-6 is reflected as a walkway path on Sheet A007. Please check for similar conflicts. Please also reconcile landscape plans with the bioretention areas and
plant species proposed; if trees/bushes etc. are proposed in a biortention area it should
be reflected in the bioretention detail to address how that would be accomplished.
DMA-14
c. Sheet 6: Please show the overhang of the floor above the ground level parking; this is needed to establish the vertical clearance over the accessible parking areas and
driveway areas. It is strongly encouraged to show conceptual lighting and fire
sprinkler lines to demonstrate sufficient clearance will be provided after the inclusion
of these features.
19. Master Planting Plan (Sheet L1): The following must be revised:
a. The plans note the proposal for several large species of bushes and trees in bio
retention areas where it is more likely that tall grasses would be proposed. Please
confirm that the species selections can be achieved in the planting areas proposed
(note that a horticultural soil report will be eventually required to ensure suitability of
the installed soil). Please check with Public Works if the proposed species could be accommodated and/or engineered around in bioretention swales. Check with Public
Works Department.
20. Hydrozone Plan (Sheet L2): Please update calculations if/when plant species are changed
per changes to Sheet L1.

21. Floor Plan, Level 1 (Sheet A101): Please include the trash enclosure in the floor area calculations and resulting floor area ratio. The code does not exempt trash enclosures
from floor area calculations.
22. Floor Plan, Level 2 through Level 4 (Sheet A102 through A104): Open space is measured
in areas meeting a minimum dimension of 10-feet x 10-feet. It would be helpful to
document which areas satisfy that requirement, separate from other areas.
23. Floor Plan, Unit 10 (Sheet A102): The accessible unit does not have any open space;
please confirm with the Building Official if an accessible unit within a project needs to be
reasonably comparable to other units. While some other units do not provide landscape
areas, the majority do.
24. Roof Plan (Sheet A200): Please provide a note on the material and a detail of the decorative trellis (#8) this detail does not appear to be shown on the elevation drawing.
Please also provide a detail of the metal awning (#3).
25. Elevations (Sheet A300): Elevation Keynotes (#5) appears to be pointing to the metal
awning, not the window frame. Please provide a separate call out for both items. Please
provide a material sample of the actual brick proposed (with a manufacturer name) and clarify if full coarse brick or a veneer is proposed. Please also specify the depth of the
grout that is proposed on the brick and color and/spacing of the grout. (Note: Special
attention is paid to brick application).
26. Sections (Sheet 400): The following must be revised on the cross sections sheet:
a. Include the following height measurement in relative values (feet and inches) as well as lot specific elevation benchmark (AMSL) levels established by the Grading and Drainage Plan and Topographic and Demolition Plan:
(1) Existing grade.
(2) Maximum structure height as measured from existing (natural) grade.
27. Photometric calculation - exterior (Sheet E1.0): The following additional details must be provided:
a. Include photographs of the proposed lights (i.e. thorn lighting bollard, wall sconce,
surface mounted).
b. Please provide candlelight power points at and past the property lines generated by
onsite lighting (note: no lighting should spill over the property line). An emphasis to ensure that lighting does not spill over the property line to the west (residential)
should be paid. It may be advisable to even provide a cross section showing how the
lighting would be adequately down shielded. Also, please note any assumptions on
this plan (i.e. how tall is the fence; is any landscaping serving to shield lighting, etc.).

MEMORANDUM CITY OF CAMPBELL
TO: Stephen Rose, Associate Planner DATE: 3/12/2019
FROM: Roger Storz, Senior Civil Engineer (408-866-2190)
SUBJECT: DRC APPLICATION
Site Address: 2575 & 2585 S. Winchester Boulevard
For File No(s): PLN2019-39
Project Description: Planned Development Permit, Lot Merger, Tree Removal Permit, and
CEQA Review for a new 15 unit apartment building.
Applicant: Gordon Wong
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT COMPLETENESS COMMENTS
This application is deemed incomplete by Public Works. Please address the following items:
1. The Boundary Survey shown on Sheet T1 is not consistent with the title reports submitted.
In particular, the previous property owners dedicated additional right-of-way along the
Winchester Boulevard and Friar Way frontages to the County of Santa Clara in the mid-
1960’s as documented in the title reports and shown on the Record of Survey Book recorded
in Book 192 Page 37. Revise the plans to show the correct property / right-of-way lines.
2. City standard 10 foot sidewalk is required along the Winchester Boulevard frontage,
including the return at Friar Way. A new Caltrans Case A curb ramp will be required at the
corner. Show any additional street dedication needed to accommodate these required street
improvements.
3. The project will be required to underground the overhead utility lines along the project
frontage from the existing utility pole at the northeast corner of the project to the next utility
pole on the south side of Friar Way. The applicant needs to engage the services of a Utility
Designer during the Planning Permit phase to determine if the project will require any
variances with regard to this utility undergrounding.
4. Revise Sheet C8 to place the new water meter behind the property line.
5. The Stormwater Treatment Plan shown on Sheet C3 requires some clarifications:
a. Both bio-treatment basins are called out as TCM-1, however in the summary table
they are referred to as TCM 1&2.
b. The two treatment areas combined are shown as providing all of the required
treatment. It needs to be more clearly documented which DMA is being treated by
which treatment area. The concern is that one treatment area may be overloaded,
while the other treatment area is underutilized.
c. Revise the DMA’s based on the previously mentioned changes to the right-of-way
line. Some of the current DMA’s will drop off as they are existing right-of-way.
J:\LandDev\Completeness\Specific Projects\Winchester Blvd S 2575 2585.docx
Page 2 of 2
6. Update the Landscape Plans to verify that all plantings designated for stormwater treatment
areas are consistent with Appendix D of the C.3 Stormwater Handbook published by the
Santa Clara Valley Urban Pollution Prevention Program. Add a note to the landscape title
sheet documenting this requirement and that the plantings shown are in compliance with this
requirement.
7. This project requires numerous actions involving changes to property lines and easements,
including the merging of existing lots, the Vacation of existing public easements, and the
