Subject: Replacement of trees in tree wells (Commercial properties)
Ed:
In conjunction with a use permit for a twenty-four hour operation at Denny's on Bascom (2060 S. Bascom).
The Planning Commission asked that we address the condition of landscaping associated with the
restaurant. It is pretty sparse.
The three tree wells along Arroyo Seco Drive are empty. Do we have a program to replace city street
trees in the public-right-of way adjacent to commercial properties?
I'll work with the property owner to enhance their on-site landscaping.
Thanks

Dear Business Owner:
The Planning Commission on June 8, 2004 conditionally approved a Conditional Use Permit to
allow your restaurant to be operated on a 24 hour basis. Condition No.5 of approval required
that you submit a landscape and irrigation plan by July 24, 2004 to illustrate how the landscape
areas associated with your restaurant would be refurbished due to a lack of on-going
maintenance.
This condition has not been satisfied as of this date. Please submit a landscape plan with 30 days
on or before December 31, 2004 to satisfy this condition.
Should you have any questions regarding this condition, please contact me at (408) 866-2144 or

Sincerely

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow
late night operations for an existing restaurant (Denny's) located at 2060 S. Bascom Avenue.
Background: On April 3, 2001 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2002, which is intended
to eliminate non-permitted late night uses. The ordinance requires businesses in the City's
commercial zoning districts to obtain a Conditional Use Permit to operate between 11 :00 p.m.
and 6:00 a.m. Even businesses that were previously "grand fathered" are required to comply
with the standard hours of operation or obtain a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning
Commission for late night operations.
The subject property is currently developed with a single-story restaurant constructed in 1975
under a Site and Architectural Review Permit (S 75-29). The building has been used as a
restaurant since its construction. Denny's has been operating for 24 hours for numerous years
based upon the current manager's information and is now requesting approval of late night
operations, pursuant to the requirements of Ordinance No. 2002.
Proiect Location: The project site is located on the southeast corner South Bascom Avenue and
Arroyo Seco Drive and is surrounded by commercial uses on the north and west sides, residences
and commercial uses to the south and single-family residences to the east.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is General
Commercial. The proposed late night operational hours in conjunction with the existing retail
store is consistent with this land use designation.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is C-2-S (General Commercial).
The C-2-S Zoning District allows late night uses occurring between 11 :00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
with approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project will be consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance with approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Late Night Operations: The applicant is requesting approval to maintain the twenty-four hour
operation of the restaurant. The existing business currently operates on a twenty-four hour basis
and the owner has indicated in the attached business description (Attachment #3) that these hours
are required as part of their franchise agreement. Other commercial businesses such as Safeway
grocery store and the drive-up window at Walgreen's Drugstore provide twenty-four hour
serVIces.
A condition of approval has been added that allows for review of the Conditional Use Permit by
the Planning Commission if verified complaints are received by the City. If staff is unable to
immediately resolve the matter with the business owner/operator, the Community Development
Director may immediately modify the hours of operation and/or limit the extended hours of
operation, subject to the project being brought back to the Planning Commission for review.

Parking: Pursuant to the Campbell Parking and Loading Ordinance, one parking space is
required for each 3 seats for a restaurant use. The applicant has indicated the provision of one
space for each 2.4 seats, thus exceeding the parking requirement.
Landscaping: Approximately 13 percent of the project site is approved for landscaping. These
areas have not been maintained in accordance with the approved landscape plans. Staff is
recommending a condition of approval that the landscaping areas associated with this restaurant
be refurbished with trees, shrubs and ground cover to provide an attractive landscaping concept
consistent with the original landscape plan approval.
Exterior Modifications: No exterior modifications to the building or project site are proposed in
conjunction with the late night operations request.
Police Department Review: The Campbell Police Department has reviewed the application and
has no concerns or objections to the late night operations requested at this location.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee did
not review this application, as there are no changes proposed to the exterior of the building or
site configuration.
