RE: Request for waiver of soul~d wall for
Dear Ms. Bascom,
As we discussed after the Planning C~,u.,ission meeting on September 25th, it is
against our best interests, as owners of the adjmcent property at 825 Camden Awe.,
Campbell, to have a concrete sound wall six feet high constructed on the common
property line we share with 811Ca~den Ave. Not only do we take aesthetic objection
to having tall concrete wall seventy feet in length adjacent to our residenc~, but
such ~ ~-all will adversely affect the existing drainage fr~ our driveway ~nd
potentially cause ponding and flooding of our garage.
To resolve this concern as neighbors, we request that the existing slatted chain
link fence be retained and requlre~=nts for a sound w~ll at this location be waiw~d.
Thank your for your prompt attention to this request.
Yours Truly,

RESOLUTION NO. 9940
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMPBELL APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT (PLN2001-88) TO ALLOW THE CONVERSION OF A
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING TO AN OFFICE/INDUSTRIAL USE,
WITH VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT STORAGE IN THE REAR
PORTION OF THE LOT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 811
CAMDEN AVENUE IN A PD (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT)
ZONING DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. RUSSELL GAMBLE,
ON BEHALF OF MR. JOSEPH MARTINA. FILE NO. PLN2001-88.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the City Council did find as follows with
respect to application PLN2001-88:
1. The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the
General Plan land use of commercial and industrial uses for this area.
2. The proposed project involves the remodeling and expansion of an existing 1,312 square foot
building located on a net lot area of 10,454 square feet.
3. The proposed project would renovate the residential structure, expand the footprint slightly,
and convert the residence for office uses.
The completed project would consist of a 1,490 square foot office building and a 800 square
foot storage building, covering 22% of the lot with buildings, 61% covered by paving and
17% covered by landscaping.
5. The project would have a floor area ratio of.22.
6. The proposed project would remodel the main building, construct a new building, and
establish a parking area north of the two buildings.
7. The proposed project would retain a majority of the existing building but will add a small
178 square foot addition in front and new storefront windows.
o
The proposed project is surrounded by buildings of mixed architectural styles, with
commercial developments to the east and west, a residential structure to the south, and an
industrial storage yard to the north. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
9. The applicant is providing a total of nine (9) parking spaces for the project, meeting the
minimum requirement for a project of this size and use.
City Council Resolution
PLN2001-88 - 811 Camden Avenue - Planned Development Permit - Conversion of Use
Page 2
10. The proposed project is consistent with other developments in the surrounding area and is
consistent with the development standards for commercial/industrial uses.
11. The project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment; and no substantial evidence
has been presented to suggest that there is a reasonably possibility that significant
environmental impacts would result from the project due to unusual circumstances or from
the cumulative impacts of successive projects of the same type in the same place.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the City Council further finds and concludes that:
1. The proposed development and use is compatible with the General Plan of the City and will
aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance.
3. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and
the type of development project.
4. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities for which fees are
being imposed and the type of development project.
5. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees being imposed and the cost
of the public facilities attributable to the project.
6. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.
Where approval by the Director of Community Development, City Engineer, Public Works
Director, City Attorney or Fire Department is required, that review shall be for compliance with
all applicable conditions of approval, adopted policies and guidelines, ordinances, laws and
regulations and accepted engineering practices for the item under review. Additionally, the
applicant is hereby notified that he/she is required to comply with all applicable Codes or
Ordinances of the City of Campbell and the State of California that pertain to this development
and are not herein specified.

TITLE
Application of Mr. Russ Gamble, on behalf of Mr. Joe Martina, for approval
of a Planned Development Permit (PLN2001-88) to allow the conversion of a
residential building to an office/industrial use with equipment storage and
associated site improvements on property located at 811 Camden Avenue in a
P-D (Planned Developmen0 Zoning District.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Adopt a Resolution upholding the Planning Commission's recommended approval of a Planned
Development Permit (PLN2001-88) to allow the conversion of a residential building to an
office/industrial use with equipment storage and associated site improvements, incorporating the
attached findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This project is categorically exempt under Section 15303 (c) Class 3, pertaining to the
conversion of use of small facilities of less than 10,000 square feet in an urbanized area;
therefore, no environmental action is required.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit to convert a residential
building to an office/industrial use with equipment storage and associated site improvements.
Up until last year, the building had functioned as a residence and was approved at one point for
use as a dog kennel. The applicant bought the property earlier this year and is proposing to
remodel and enlarge the house by 178 square feet and remodel the exterior to include a
commercial frontage. The residence would be used as the offices for the applicant's landscape
contracting company and a new 800 square foot building constructed at the rear of the lot would
be used for the storage of business equipment and materials
The Planning Commission, at its meeting of September 25, 2001, forwarded a recommendation
to the City Council by a 5-0 vote (two commissioners were absent) to approve the proposed
project with the attached Conditions of Approval.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the site is
Commercial/Industrial. The conversion of a residential structure into an office and the
construction of an equipment storage building is consistent with the City's General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The proposed project will be consistent with the zoning designation of P-D
(Planned Development) with the approval of a Planned Development Permit.
City Council Report

Planned Development Permit
Page 2
October 16, 2001
Planned Development Permit: The Planned Development Permit will allow for the conversion of
a residential building to an office/industrial use with a 178 square foot addition to the building,
the construction of a 800 square foot building for equipment storage, and associated site
improvements. The surrounding neighborhood is a mix of industrial uses, commercial uses, and
some remaining residences, and the proposed project will be compatible with the surrounding
land uses.
The setbacks and building placement would remain essentially the same as the existing structure,
but the building footprint would be enlarged slightly and the front yard setback would be
reduced. Because the zoning of the property is Planned Development, the development standards
of the site are flexible. The applicant is providing a total of nine (9) parking spaces for the
project. Seven (7) spaces are required for the 1,490 square foot office building and two (2)
spaces are required for the 800 square foot storage building. Condition of Approval No. 7 will
ensure that the parking spaces are to be used for vehicle parking only and not equipment or
materials storage.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the proposed project subject to additional and/or modified Conditions of Approval.
2. Deny the proposed project.
3. Continue for further review.
FISCAL IMPACTS
None.

Gamble, R.
Public Hearing to consider the application of M_r. Russell Gamble, on
behalf of Mr. Joseph Martina, for a Planned Development Permit
(PLN2001-88) to allow the conversion of a residential building to an
office/industrial use, with vehicle and equipment storage in the rear
portion of the lot, on property located at 811 Camden Avenue in a
PD (Planned Development) Zoning District. This project is
Categorically Exempt. Tentative City Council Meeting Date:
October 16, 2001.
Ms. Kristi Bascom, Planner I, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the applicants are seeking a Planned Development Permit to allow the
conversion of a residence to office/industrial use on this parcel located on the west side of
Camden Avenue.
· Said that the Zoning is Planned Development and the General Plan land use is
Commercial/Industrial.
· Identified the existing structure as a 1,300 square foot single-story structure that was built
as a residence. The applicants propose to convert the use of this structure into an office
with 170 square feet added. Additionally, a new 800 square foot storage building will be
constructed and nine parking spaces created.
· Advised that this proposal meets all development standards and that the new building will
use matching building materials to the existing structure.
· Said that staff finds this proposal to be compatible with the other uses in the area and is
recommending approval.
Commissioner Francois presented the Site and Architectural Review Committee report as
follows:
· SARC reviewed this project on September 18th and was supportive.
Planning Commission Minu~,s of September 25,2001 Page 5
Commissioner Doorley questioned the provision of compact parking, pointing out that four of
the nine spaces appear to be compact. Inquired if this meets the established ratio of compact
versus standard spaces.
Ms. Kfisti Bascom replied that typically 40 percent of the spaces can be compact.
Commissioner Doorley pointed out that four spaces of nine represents about 44 percent. This
is not sufficiently over the allowable to make a huge deal about.
Chair Lindstrom opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 3.
Mr. Lucky Roman, 825 Camden Avenue, Campbell:
· Expressed concerns about water drainage as a result' of the proposed wall on this site.
· Pointed out that his garage is situated at the property line with this property and he does not
want inadequate drainage to cause flooding of his garage.
· Added that he also wondered about access to his garage building for maintenance and
repairs.
· Mentioned that he was also concerned about obstructions to his views as he pulls from his
driveway.
Chair Lindstrom informed Mr. Roman that the Public Works Department considers such issues
as site water drainage in its review of such applications.
Mr. GeoffI. Bradley, Senior Planner:
· Pointed out that it appears that the drainage problem may be on 825 Camden rather than the
subject site. In that case, Mr. Roman might have to make some sort of adjustments on his
own property to accommodate the drainage of water on his own property. Mr. Roman
seems to imply that currently water is draining from his property onto 811 and he is
concerned that the proposed wall will not allow that to continue.
· Added that the wall is required to shield residential neighbors from a commercial use. It is
a standard requirement to separate the two types of uses.
· Said that the access issues raised by Mr. Roman to maintain the garage structure situated on
the property line represents a civil matter that is up to the two property owners to work out.
Mr. Lucky Roman reiterated his concerns about visibility for backing out from his property.
Ms. Kristi Bascom advised that the block wall would stop short of the front property line by 15
to 16 feet offCamden Avenue. The existing fencing will be retained.
Mr. Lucky Roman asked why the block wall was necessary.
Mr. Geoff I. Bradley replied that the solid barrier is a requirement when commercial uses abut
residential uses.
Ms. Kristi Bascom added that this wall is being installed at the City's request.
Planning Commission Minu,~s of September 25,2001 Page 6
Mr. Russ Gamble, Project Architect:
· Assured the Commission that the drainage from the roof of the new storage building would
be directed away from 825 Camden and toward the interior of 811 Camden.
· Added that there will be an air gap between the garage and the wall.

The development of the proposed project will result in a use that is consistent with the
General Plan land use of commercial and industrial uses for this area.
The proposed project involves the remodeling and expansion of an existing 1,312 square foot
building located on a net lot area of 10,454 square feet.
The proposed project would renovate the residential structure, expand the footprint slightly,
and convert the residence for office uses.
The completed project would consist of a 1,490 square foot office building and a 800 square
foot storage building, covering 22% of the lot with buildings, 61% covered by paving and
17% covered by landscaping.
The project would have a floor area ratio of.22.
The proposed project would remodel the main building, construct a new building, and
establish a parking area north of the two buildings.
The proposed project would retain a majority of the existing building but will add a small
178 square foot addition in front and new storefront windows.
The proposed project is surrounded by buildings of mixed architectural styles, with
commercial developments to the east and west, a residential structure to the south, and an
industrial storage yard to the north. The proposed project is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.
The applicant is providing a total of nine (9) parking spaces for the project, meeting the
minimum requirement for a project of this size and use.

that:
1. The proposed development and use is compatible With the General Plan of the City and will
aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance.
3. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees imposed upon the project and
the type of development project.
4. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities for which fees are
being imposed and the type of development project.
5. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees being imposed and the cost
of the public facilities attributable to the project.
6. There is a reasonable relationship and a rough proportionality between the Conditions of
Approval and the impacts of the project.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit to
convert a residential building to an office/industrial use with equipment storage and associated site
improvements. Up until last year, the building had functioned as a residence and a dog kennel. The
applicant bought the property earlier this year and is proposing to remodel and enlarge the house by
178 square feet and remodel the exterior to include a commercial frontage. The residence would be
used as the offices for the applicant's landscape contracting company as well as for the storage of
equipment and materials.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the site is
Commercial/Industrial. The conversion of a residential structure into an office and the construction
of an equipment storage building is consistent with the City's General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The proposed project will be consistent with the zoning designation of P-D
(Planned Development) with the approval of a Planned Development Permit.
Site Plan: The surrounding neighborhood is a mix of industrial uses, commercial uses, and some
remaining residences. The project proposes the remodel of the existing residence into offices and a
minor addition of 178 square feet. A 800 square foot storage building would be built at the rear of
the lot which would serve to store all equipment associated with the onsite business.
The setbacks and building placement would remain essentially the same as the existing structure,
but the building footprint would be enlarged slightly and the front yard setback would be reduced.
Because the zoning of the property is Planned Development, the development standards of the site
are flexible. In other industrial and commercial zoning districts, there is no required front yard
setback, so the ten foot setback provided in this case is adequate and the enlargement of the building
footprint is allowed.
Building Design and Renovation: The existing building is a standard 1940s era house with a stucco
and shingle exterior and shake roof. The new design will be a cement plaster exterior with new
storefront windows on the front elevation and composition shingle roof material. Aside from the
front elevation, the existing window locations on the building will remain the same but the windows
will be changed out and replaced. The rear storage building will have the same building materials
and finish as the main structure.
Parking: The applicant is providing a total of nine (9) parking spaces for the project. Seven (7)
spaces are required for the 1,490 square foot office building and two (2) spaces are required for the
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of September 25, 2001
PLN2001-88 - 811 Camden Avenue
Page 3
800 square foot storage building. Condition of Approval No. 7 will ensure that the parking spaces
are to be used for vehicle parking only and not equipment or materials storage.
Landscaping and Paving: The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscape plan. Staff has
recommended some minor additions to the landscape area and the applicant is agreeable to make the
alterations. Condition of Approval No. 6 requires the applicant to submit and have approved a final
landscape and irrigation plan before building permits are issued.
Sound Wall/Fencing: The site plan indicates the retention of the existing fencing at the northern
and western property lines and the construction of a sound-attenuating masonry wall at the southern
property line.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
considered this application at its meeting on September 18, 2001. The Committee was supportive
of the project as proposed.
