Plan Check Review No. 99-785 - Conversion of a residential building to a professional
office use located at 166 W. Campbell Avenue
· Dear Mr. Dunk:
The Planning Division has completed review of your building plans for the conversion of a
residential building to a professional office use in accordance with the requirements of the
conditions of approval of the Conditional Use Permit (UP 98-10) granted for the property
located at 166 W. Campbell Avenue. Upon review of your building plans, the Planning
Division requires that the following revisions be made prior to issuance of a building permit:
Under Resolution No. 3202 for the project, Condition No. 9 requires that the chimney on
the east side of the building be repaired to appear as a functional chimney. The building
plans do not indicate that this work will be done and the elevations do not show that the
chimney will be modified to appear as a true chimney. Please revise the plans to indicate
that the missing part of the upper half of the chimney will be restored to appear as a
functional chimney.
Upon review of the landscaping plan for the project site, the proposed landscaping appears
sparse. The amount and type of landscaping proposed does not appear to' adequately
provide for sufficient softening of the visual impact of the project site and to provide
screening from adjacent residential and commercial properties. Please revise the
landscaping plan to incorporate the following:
ao
The Planning Division requests that turf be installed along the front yard area and
partially returned along the west side of the property rather than the ajuga. The on-
site landscaping requirement of the conditions of approval requires that turf be
installed. However, shrubs and groundcover as proposed may be used as accents
along the building. In addition, hedge-type shrubs are recommended for additional
screening and softening of the visual impact of the building.
bo
Along the stucco wall railing, it is recommended that fast-growing hedge-type
shrubs be planted to provide some screening of the stucco wall railing. Minimum
size of the hedge-type shrubs should be 10-gallon and shall be closely planted to
provide for screening of the wall railing.

Page 2
Co
Fast-growing shrubs and ground cover are also recommended along the west side of
the building where the landscape area is too narrow for tuff. Minimum 5-gallon
shrubs should be planted a minimum of 2-3 feet on center. The current landscape
plan shows only ajuga flats and 1 gallon rhododendrons.
do
Along the rear and east property lines, there does not appear to be sufficient
landscaping to provide screening, particularly at the rear of the property which is
adjacent to and visible from an apartment complex. Please install minimum 15-
gallon trees along the rear and eastern property lines.
eo
The landscaping adjacent to the rear of the building appears insufficient. Please
provide additional minimum 5-gallon shrubs to be planted in this planter a
minimum of 2-3 feet apart.
Please submit the above-referenced revisions for Planning Staff review at your soonest
convenience so that we may further process your building permit application. Should you have
any questions regarding the above-referenced comments, please feel free to contact me at the
Community Development Department at (408) 866-2142.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (UP
98-10) to allow the conversion of an existing single-family residential structure to a
professional office use on property located at 166 W. Campbell Avenue. The project site is
located on the southeast corner of Jeffers Way and West Campbell Avenue. The site is
surrounded by an office building and apartment units to the south, an office use to the east,
apartment units to the west across Jeffers Way, and the Campbell Community Center to the
north across W. Campbell Avenue.
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of November 10, 1998
UP 98-10 - 166 W. Campbell Avenue
Page 2
Background: This application was submitted as a result of a Code Enforcement complaint
regarding the operation of an insurance business from the single-family residence. The City
received complaints in July that a business was being conducted from the residence, and that
several cars in conjunction with the business were parking on the street.
As a result of the complaints and upon inspections of the site, Staff contacted the insurance
business, Peter Kuo Insurance Agency, and advised the business owner, Peter Kuo, that the
business was being conducted on the premises without approval of a Conditional Use Permit
to convert the structure from a residential use to office use, and that interior remodeling was
being conducted on site without approval of building permits. Based upon this information,
the business owner vacated the site on August 10, 1998 to comply with the City's regulations.
The Use Permit application was submitted to allow the office use to legally occupy the
building.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the site is Professional
Office. The proposed insurance business is a professional office use; therefore, the proposed
insurance office use is consistent with the General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is P-O (Professional
Offices). The proposed insurance business as a professional office use is consistent with the
Zoning Ordinance. However, the residential structure in which the professional office use is
to be conducted requires conversion to an office use. Under Section 21.20.030 of the
Campbell Municipal Code, conversion of a residence to office use requires approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. With approval of the Use Permit, the proposed project is consistent
with the Zoning Ordinance.
Use: The applicant has submitted a project description on the plan which states that the
conversion of the existing residence to office use will allow for the operation of an insurance
agency business within the structure, consisting of four (4) insurance agents and two (2)
assistants. The hours of operation for the insurance agency are Monday through Friday, 8
a.m. to 7 p.m.
Floor Plan: The existing residence is 2,248 square feet. The proposed conversion of the floor
plan will accommodate five (5) offices, a reception/waiting room for clients entering from the
rear of the building and an entry/waiting room for clients entering from the front of the
building. The Building Division has reviewed the floor plans and has recommended
conditions of approval to modify the building to comply with the City's Building Codes, and
the disabled access and parking requirements of the State Building Code.
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of November 10, 1998
UP 98-10 - 166 W. Campbell Avenue
Page 3
Site Plan and Exterior Modifications: The site plan indicates retainment of the structure as it
currently exists and the provision of a parking lot with a new driveway entrance on Jeffers
Way. The existing driveway along West Campbell Avenue will be removed and replaced
with landscaping and a pedestrian walkway around the building. The wooden fence will also
be removed along the property line facing Jeffers Way and W. Campbell Avenue. In addition,
the existing air conditioning unit along the west side of the structure will be removed and
relocated to the rear of the building, which will not be visible from public view.
The applicant is not intending to modify the exterior elevations of the building, except to
repair the chimney along the east side of the building and to provide a ramp and walkway for
disabled person access to the building and parking lot. Staff has reviewed the ramp providing
access to the front entrance to the building, and is not supportive of the metal railing
proposed around the ramp. Staff recommends that the applicant revise the railing design and
provide a railing enclosure which is architecturally compatible to the existing building in the
form of a low stucco wall around the ramp.
Landscaping and Trees:
The site currently has two (2) trees consisting of an orange tree and a mature black walnut
tree. The orange tree will be removed in conjunction with the development of the parking
lot. The black walnut tree, located in the rear of the property adjacent to the rear entrance,
will be retained on site. Under the City's Tree Protection Ordinance, removal of the orange
fruit tree is exempt from the Ordinance requirements and, therefore, does not require a Tree
Removal Permit. A condition of approval has been included to protect the black walnut tree
from the paving in conjunction with the installation of the parking lot.
Staff has reviewed the applicant's proposal to modify the site plan in conjunction with this
application and is supportive of the application with the above-referenced modifications.
Parking: The required number of parking spaces for the professional office use is 10 parking
spaces, based upon a ratio of 1 parking space for each 225 square feet of gross floor area for
office use. The applicant is requesting a parking adjustment to allow for a reduction of two
(2) parking spaces, for a total provision of 8 parking spaces on-site, including 1 disabled
parking space. The parking ratio based upon the proposed number of parking spaces is 1
space for each 281 square feet. The applicant has submitted a letter dated October 22, 1998
requesting that the Planning Commission allow the reduction given that the site is limited by
the existing location of the building and that a requirement to provide all 10 parking spaces
would in effect require removal of a portion of the building. In addition, the applicant states
that agents usually sell insurance at their clients' homes, thereby reducing the amount of
customer parking needed on the site.

UP 98-10- 166 W. Campbell Avenue
Page 4
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
reviewed the application at its meeting of October 27, 1998 and expressed the following
comments:
1. The air conditioning unit located along the west elevation of the structure should be
moved to an area at the rear of the structure so that it will not be visible from public view.
The Committee is supportive of the reduction of two (2) parking spaces given that the
applicant has submitted a letter stating that it would be a hardship to remove a portion of
the existing structure to accommodate the two spaces.
o
The disabled parking space located at the rear of the building should be moved to the east
so that the striped loading area access is accommodated between parking spaces. This
will allow for easier access to the walkway from the structure.
The Committee recommends that a landscaping strip be added along the south (rear)
elevation of the structure to provide a buffer between the building and the paved driveway
area near the driveway entrance.
5. The applicant should identify the entrances to the structure on the site plan, which should
be consistent with exits shown on the floor plans.
6. The chimney is in disrepair and should be repaired to appear as a true chimney, despite
the applicant's comment that the chimney will not be functional.
°
The applicant should provide information on the plans indicating the grading differences
around the structure and how access will be provided from the parking area to the
walkway and the structure given the grading difference. The Committee recommends
that the applicant demonstrate how the walkway will be ramped to provide access to the
landings at the entrances to the structure.
8. The applicant should meet all disabled person access requirements required by code.
On November 3, 1998, the applicant submitted revised plans incorporating the
recommendations of the Site and Architectural Review Committee as noted above.

Re: UP 98-10-166 W. Campbell Avenue
Dear Mrs. 'Irani,
At the proposed Insurance office, on 166 W. Campbell Municipal code requires us to
have ten parking spaces. To our regret wc can only fit eight spaces including one
handicapped space on the lot as it is, this after we were denied a proposed extra two
spaces in the frontyard. We flfink that this fact should not be a obstacl; tbr obtaining the
usage change.
The proposed oflic, is to be the base of operation for four insurance agents. The agea~ts
are to sell insurance usually at clients and potential clients homes thereby not generating
"client" traffic at the proposed office. The office is to be used primarily for dala
processing, phone inquiries, phone quotations and appointment scheduling. There will be
two full-time assistants on the premises. If by any chance all agenta and assistants are at
tho premises it would require six parking spaces which means there would be two parking
spaces, including one handicapped left in ease, at the rare chance, there would be the need
for a di,nt to park.
lfwe would be forced to provide the required ten spaces it would mean an extrem~
hardship on my clients as they would be forced to tear part of thc building down. Loosing
valuable office space and costing a more than considerable amount ofinoney.
In short we would do anything we thought was in our power and means and provide all
that there will be minimal traffic so we hope you can agree with
ten spaces but w_.~w
us and~ thyge clmnge.
