OLD BUSINESS 1. PLN-2022-12 Study Session on Campbell’s Plan for Housing (2023-2031 Housing Element) to facilitate further development and refinement of the Housing Opportunity Map and Goals, Policies and Programs which will guide housing development and services throughout the eight-year planning period.

Project Planner: Stephen Rose, Senior Planner Senior Planner Stephen Rose facilitated Study Session on Campbell’s Plan for Housing (2023-2031 Housing Element) to further develop and refine the Housing Opportunity Map and Goals, Policies, and Programs. Campbell Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – November 22, 2022 Page 4 Chair Ching opened the public hearing. Jim Sullivan, Campbell resident, spoke in support of option1 of the presentation. As a representative of Site 49, he noted the Virginia park was close and that if option 39 were to be considered, he would ask to exclude option 43. Cam Coulter, spoke in support of larger site inventory. Does not believe that density should be reduced. Recommends developing and active transportation plan, reducing or eliminating parking minimums and adding bike lanes. Amy Cody, asked to consider reducing density and consider existing incomes and similar San Jose housing plans. Cited as an example the San Tomas Plaza property is located in a school district of the title 1 where over 40% of families are considered low income. The demographics of the surrounding property should be considered. Joseph Gemignami, stated that developers are concerned with the 75 foot heigh limit with no roof articulation. Asking that we consider allowing variances for roof articulation to be exceeded. Chair Ching closed the public hearing. When discussing the Housing Opportunity Site Inventory and possible refinements the Planning Commission expressed broad support for Option 1, as recommended by staff. Individual members of the Planning Commission provided the following comments and feedback without consensus: • Option 2 (Campbell Technology Park - Sites 214.1 to 214.4): Expressed desire for a southwest portion of the site to be kept in play for a potential trade with the City Corporation yard. Noted a concern that if the site were to be lowered in density, it would develop as an exclusive market-rate neighborhood. • Option 4 (Reduced Site Inventory): Noted merit for reducing densities for select sites which back onto lower density residential uses, such as those along Winchester and Bascom Avenue. Discouraged lowering the densities of properties southeast of Downtown and San Tomas Plaza (Site 49). • First Street Parking Garage (Site 3): One member of the Commission expressed interest in retaining the parking garage in the site inventory. • 320 Virginia Avenue (Site 49): Most of the Commission agreed that the site should be designated for housing, despite its existing open space land use designation, recognizing that Virginia Park and John D. Morgan Park are nearby. However, individual members commentated that the site should be required to pay a greater park-in-lieu fee, or provide a greater allocation of affordable housing unit, in consideration of the change in land use designation. Campbell Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – November 22, 2022 Page 5 Senior Planner Rose shared a table summarizing all HCD feedback in the November 3, 2022, letter and recommended responses by the city (in both the major areas and non- substantive areas) was shared. As a result of the study session discussion the Planning Commission reached consensus in supporting all the recommended modifications to the Goals, Policies and Programs in the Housing Element identified by staff. Additionally, the Commission reached consensus in recommending the city pursue a more active multi-modal plan that connects with regional planning efforts (such as the VTA bicycle superhighway plan) to address Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) principles. Individual Planning Commissioners also identified several other areas for discussion (i.e., declaring a shelter crisis, permitting single-room occupancy units by-right) but agreed that too limited information was available to make an informed recommendation on such points to the Council. After the end of study session Vice Chair Buchbinder requested that the commission declare a State of Shelter Crisis. Chair Ching abstained. Commissioner Kamkar recommended City staff explore looking at declaring a State of Shelter crisis and Vice Chair concurred. Vice Chair Buchbinder requested to include six issues in the response to HCD from the city but there was only consensus on considering an Active Transportation Plan as a future actionable item for discussion. Planning Commission recommended that the city consider an Active Transportation Plan. REPORT OF THE MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS SUBCOMMITTEE Nothing to report REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Nothing to report, wished the Planning Commission a Happy Thanksgiving. ADJOURNMENT The Regular Planning Commission meeting adjourned at 10:54 p.m. to the next Regular Planning Commission Meeting on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, at City Hall, Council Chambers, 70 N.
