McGlincy Lane, Suite 109 Campbell, CA 95008 408-315-2125 | Gordonkwong@Gkwarchitects.com www.gkwarchitects.com To: City of Campbell, Planning Department 70 N 1st St Campbell, CA 95008 Project: 2575 & 2585 S. Winchester Blvd. Campbell, CA 95008 Owner: Mike Agha Mike_agha@yahoo.com (408) 661‐0187 From: Gkw Architects, Inc. gordonkwong@gkwarchitects.com kevinyu@gkwarchitects.com Written Description – Request for Parking Modification Permit The development requests a parking modification permit to reduce parking spaces required by planned mixed‐used development and Table 3‐1 per Sec. 21.28.050 under City of Campbell Municipal Code. The development proposes 36 parking spaces while the total amount of parking spaces required is 40. 28 parking spaces are served for the 14 residential units resulting 2 parking spaces per unit, satisfying Table 3‐1 under Sec. 21.28.040 and density bonus rule. Meanwhile, the 12 remaining parking are required to serve: Required  2 parking spaces for ADA  3 parking spaces for clean air & van pool  5 required parking spaces for retail 1 (possible barber shop, please see architectural plans)  2 required parking spaces for retail 2 (possible coffee shop, please see architectural plans) As 28 parking spaces are designated for residential, the development only has 8 parking spaces left which means that this project is short by 4 parking spaces and is asking for parking reduction for commercial standards. The 8 parking spaces are designated to serve: Proposed  2 required parking spaces for ADA = 2 parking spaces are provided, okay  3 required parking spaces for clean air & van pool = 1 parking space is provided, needs modification  5 required parking spaces for retail 1 = 3 parking spaces are provided, needs modification  2 required parking spaces for retail 2 = 2 parking spaces are provided, okay Reasons for parking reductions:  Proposed building’s size limitation  Additional parking spaces will affect project’s design and structure  Enhance pedestrian orientate design  Encourage the use of public transportation since the project is in a prime area close to downtown Campbell where it is pedestrian friendly with access to public transits  Promoting the usage of bicycles  Increase of landscape buffer and trees  Increase of pervious areas With the understanding of the current parking situation, the development wishes to request a parking modification permit.
