Consider the application of Virginia Fanelli on behalf of the
Church of Religious Science for a modification to a
previously approved use on property located at 430 Dan'yl
Drive, in a PD (Planned Development/Commercial Zoning
District. (Planning Commission action final, unless
appealed.)
Chairperson Perrine read the application into the record.
Staff Presentation: Principal Planner, Stafford p_resented the app,lication, focusin,g.on the
P_grkiag issue and how the Applicant s hours of operation wotuo not cause a par~ang
conflict with the operation of the Deparm~nt of Motor Vehicles. He recommended the
approval of the application, highlighting the Planning Department Condition of Approval
for a 6-month and 1-year review of the application, ~ well as a number of F_irl. D_fdlillgl~K
conditions which the applicant would need to address.
Commissioner Alne inquired about the ownership of the parking spaces and asked what
would happen if the DMV changed its hours of operation. Principal Planner Stafford
responded that the 6-month/I-year review would address any changes at that time.
Commissioner Alne also cited ~ Condition of Approval 3 as confusing and
asked that it be clearly worded.
Commissioner Olszewski also expressed concern over the number of parking spaces and
suggested that the Applicant be restricted to a specific schedule via an added Condition of
Approval.
The Public Hearing was then opened.
Applicant Virginia Fanelli agreed to limit the Church's hours and functions through a
Condition.
Commissioner Olszewski then motioned to approve the application.
Commissioner Christ observed that 75 parking spaces for 300 members would cause an
overspill into the surrounding business and neighborhood area. The Applicant responded
that an additional 15 spaces were available through the DMV and that only 125 (not 300)
members now attend the Church services.
Commissioner Fox expressed concern over the possible rapid growth of the congregation
prior to any City review. Commissioner Olszewski then asked if any change in the
Church's seating capacity would be reviewed by the Planning Commissaon; Principal
Planner Stafford confu'med this.
Commissioner Olszewski then suggested that the Application be approved based on its
present request of a 300 maximum membership. He also suggested the Church increase its
number of services in direct response to any increase in the congregation.
M/S Olszewski/Wilkinson Motioned to approve M 88-15 according to
Staff Recommendation with an added
Condition of Approval that "seminars and
services be restricted to non-DMV normal
operating hours.
Planning Commiss;" Minutes 3 June 12, 1990
Commissioner Olszewski asked the Applicant to work with the DMV regarding any
possible changes in the future.
Chairperson Perrine did not agree with Commissioner Olszewski's suggestion to restrict
the seminars and services, however, did state he would vote in favor of the motion as
presented.
VOTE: Unanimously approved.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1 UP 90.07
Garcia, E.
Public Hearing to consider the application of Mrs. Esther
Garda for approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow a
secondary living unit, on property located at 1251 Mum'o
Avenue, in an R-1-9 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning
Disn'ict.
(Planning Commission action final, unless appealed.)
Chairperson Perrine read the application into the record.
Staff Presentation: Principal Planner Stafford presented the application, stating the
requested use was consistent with the General Plan and the Zoning. He also asked the
Commission to consider 2 additional Conditions of Approval as a result of the Site and
Architectural Review Committee's findings: (1) to refine the roof design, and (2) to add
landscaping along the breezeway.
Commissioner Olszewski expressed _c~,~cem o,ver the proposed garage to be attached to the
secondary (granny) unit resulting in a duplex look. His interpretation of a secondary unit
is a semi-independent living quarter.
Commissioner Alne asked if garages have ever been considered in conjunction with granny
units; Principal Planner Stafford responded with a yes.
Commissioner Fox supported Commissioner Olszewski's concern over the possible
misuse of a secondary unit and asked if the lot could ever be subdivided as a result;
Principal Planner responded with a no. He viewed the application as one with only profit-
generating intentions and not for the use of a family member.
City Attorney Seligmann stated that State law allows the unit to be rentable, although did
say that 1 of the 2 units would need to be occupied by the owner.
Vice-Chairperson Meyer presented the Site & Architecture Review Committee findings as
follows:
- The Architect had concerns about the requested alignment of the roof plan.
- Wanted to see landscaping in front of the breezeway to eliminate some of
concrete.
- Wanted the breezeway to "open up" to prevent any use of this area for
storage.
She announced the Committee's approval of the Application with the above requests as
Conditions of Approval.
Planning Commis~ ~ Minutes 4 June 12, 1990
Commissioner Christ asked if the "massiveness" of the building concerned thc Committee
and suggested the breezeway be removed to reduce the length of the combined units along
the street frontage to keep them in conformance with the rest of the neighborhood. Vice-
Chairperson Meyer repeated that the roof line was more of a concern and that the length
was not an issue with the Committee.
Commissioner Fox supported Commissioner Christ's suggestion of removing the
breezeway and favored maintaining a "rural" residential look in the San Tomas area.
Commissioner Olszewski suggested that the Applicant consider continuing the Application
in response to the concerns expressed by the commissioners.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Applicant Esther Garcia, 1251 Munro Avenue, responded to Commissioner Christ's
concern over the length of the combined units by stating that 2 redwood trees concealed the
existing unit along the street frontage. She and her husband planned to occupy the granny
unit once it was constructed and that her niece and nephew and their 3 children would
reside in the main unit. She also gave reasons for keeping the proposed garage and
breezeway, and said she hoped to begin the project soon.
Commissioner Alne suggested the Commission was unnecessarily concerned about the
application because no one from the surrounding neighborhood was present to raise any
objections. He supported the application.
Commissioner Wilkinson favored referring the application back to the Architectural
Advisor for evaluation. He also supported the application.
Commissioner Christ felt that the granny unit would still impact the neighborhood and
noted past controversy over such units in the past. He did not support the application.
Commissioner Fox supported Commissioner Christ and felt that the 11-foot setback was
not enough. Suggested separating the 2 units by removing the breezeway, adding a facade
and landscaping.
Applicant Esther Garcia said she was being unfairly penalized for having a comer lot and
wanted to keep the breezeway.
Vice-Chairperson Meyer supported the application. She also supported sending the
application back to the Site & Architecture Review Committee to work on the design
modifications.
Commissioner Olszewski did not support Vice-Chairperson Meyers suggestion and felt
the Commission should review any modifications to the application before approving it.
Mr. Dave Carter, 1251 Munro Avenue, the Applicant's nephew, said that a delay in the
application would be costly.. He said that the proposed design was shown to the neighbors
and that they had no objectaons.
Commissioner Olszewski identified 2 separate concerns over the application: (1) Whether
the application fit the intended definition of a granny unit, and (2) the architecture.
Commissioner Alne favored continuing the application due to lack of enough information.
Planning Commis.~ Minutes 5 June 12, 1990
Mr. Carter expressed confusion over what exactly needed to be further addressed in the
application, citing that the Staff needs were met. Chairperson Perrine explained that the
Commission was a separate entity from the City Staff.
Vice-Chairperson Meyer also recognized Staff's support of the application and did not see
the need for the Commission's further involvement. She made a motion to vote on the
application. Due to continuing discussion, Chairperson Perrine did not recognize Vice-
Chairperson Myer's motion.
Commissioner Christ repeated his concern over the breezeway, and said the design would
look more attractive as 2 separate units.
Mr. Carter said he would be open to removing the breezeway if that was necessary to
approving the application.
Commissioner Olszewsld suggested continuing the application to the July 10, 1990
Planning Commission meeting.
Planning Director Piasecki said this continuance would allow sufficient time for the
application to be reviewed by the Site & Architecture Review Committee and Staff.
Commissioner Olszewski made a Motion to continue the application to the July 10, 1990
Planning Commission meeting. Commissioners Alne & Wilkinson Seconded the motion.
Architect Dan Winklebleck, 1650 S. Winchester Blvd. #207, preferred to come back with
the design modifications in 2 rather than 4 weeks.
Planning Director Piasecki said this item could be heard at the Site & Architecture Review
Committee meeting during the week of June 18, 1990.
Commissioner Olszewski then revised his motion to continue the application to the June
26, 1990 Planning Commission meeting.

(s 9o-ol)
Hunter, D.
Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Deke
Hunter, for approval of revisions to the Conditions of
Approval to a previously approved Site and Architectural
approval allowing the remodel of an existing shopping center
on property located at 1650-1800 South Bascom Avenue, in
a C-2-S (General Cornrmrcial) Zoning Dis~ct.
(Planning Commission action final, unless appealed.)
Chairperson Perrine read the application into the record.
Staff Presentation:
mtxiifications: (1)
Planning Director Piasecki presented the application, highlighting the
(,~3~;A.F~Ig.~ To reduce the sound wall height from 8 feet to 6 feet
along the easterly property line
(2) (Site Plan Modifications) To remove all existing trees throughout the
parking a_rea for additional parking spaces in front of the Long's Drug
Store. He announced the Applicant's request to amend Condition of
Approval #3 (L~ndscape Plan and Lighting) to delete the phrase:
"...phased removal of existing trees .... "
(3) (Site Plan Modifications) To retain the existing 10-foot "monolithic"
sidewalk along Bascom Avenue, and to provide a 17-foot landscape
area which could later be retrofitted with Phase II.
(4) (Planning Department) To amend Condition of Approval #23 to change
the date indicated in"...- Site Plan - Phase I, as redlined, dated 4/24/90"
be changed to "6/12D0."
Planning Director Piasecki then recommended approval of the applications with the
modifications.
Commissioner Olszewski asked why the Applicant wanted to lower the wall height.
Planning Director Piasecki responded that cost savings was the reason to lower the height
along with an assurance that the noise attenuation between the 2 heights were minimal.
Commissioner Olszewski then asked about the pedestrian entzance between the 6- foot wall
and the 8-foot wall.
Vice-Chairperson Meyer presented the Site & Architecture Review Committee finding as
follows:
- The Applicant assured the Committee that the removed trees would be
replaced with "consigned" trees.
She announced the Committee's approval of the application.
Commissioner Olszewski expressed concern to the location of the trees. Planning Director
Piasecki said Condition of Approval #3 would bring this issue back to both the Site &
Architecture Review Committee and the Commission once location was determined.
Commissioner Olszewski requested the Committee pay particular attention to this matter.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Applicant Deke Hunter focused on his reasons to skip Phase I in favor of Phase II to
complete the parking, landscaping, and irrigation. He said the improved parking would
attract more tenants. His decision to reduce the height of the easterly soundwall came as a
result to offset the costs of moving the monolithic sidewalk, however noted that the wall
Planning Commiss" Minutes 7 June 12, 1990
along the pedestrian access would remain at 8 feet Mr. Hunter then explained the concept
of "contract growing procedures" which would assure matched and consistently tall trees.
Commissioner Olszewski suggested that the ~ be reviewed in addition to the
~ by the Site & Architecture Review Committee. He also stressed the
importance of developing a distinct and timeless landscaping "theme" because of the
location of the Hamilton Plaza Shopping Center location.

Continued Public Heating to consider the City-initiated
amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan
regarding designations; amendments to the Circulation
Element of the General Plan; and, a Zone Change for
property located in the North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA)
study area, to PD (Planned Development) Zoning District.
(Tentative City Council Date: 7-17-90)
Chairperson Perrine read the application into the record.
Staff Presentation: Planning Director Piasecki fu'st reviewed the letter sent by Mr. Robert
B. Hicks, 70 N. First Su'eet. Mr. Hicks' letter requested that his parcel be reviewed as a
separate General Plan Amendment; he cautioned the Commission against reviewing Mr.
Hicks' parcel separately, noting only 4 General Plans amendments are allowed to the City
annually.
Planning Commiss" Minutes 8 June 12, 1990
Planning Director Piasecld then presented the application and the 13.agggl:o.a~ issues raised
at the May 22, 1990 Planning Commission meeting. He presented the ~,
highlighting the following issues:
(1) The main problem of "poor access" to downtown leads to both a
negative image and an illogical entxance.
(2) The existing industrial land use within NOCA did not lend support to
downtown.
(3) Identifying Land U~, ~, and Sn'eetscape Design in NOCA &
SOCA
(4) The alignment of Salmar Avenue with Railway Avenue as key to a
successful downtown.
(5) The encouragement of future coordinated development plans between
private developers - "Master Development Status."
Commissioner Christ stressed the importance of T~fic #6 in the 1~
R~levelopment Department to create corridors that would be convenient to downtown
shoppers but not to-commuters. Planning Director Piasecki stated the proposals would
provide improved downtown access, promote pedestrian/bicycle movement, and mitigate
commuter traffic.
Commissioner Wilkinson asked if there are any plans to abandon the Southern Pacific
Railway right-of-way; Planning Director Piasecki knew of no plans, and speculated that the
right-of-way would not be abandoned
Commissioner Olszewski identified the problem of traffic congestion along Hamilton
Avenue near the Prometheus site. He also asked the following questions:
(1) What kinds of future businesses would guarantee success to the
downtown?
(2) What needed to be addressed first: the downtown area or the
realignment of Salrnar Avenue?
(3) How would commuters, especially motorcyclists and bicyclists cross the
railroad tracks?
Redevelopment Agency Manager Woodworth answered that getting 2-way traffic to the
downtown was more critical to access down Salmar Avenue, however both were vital to
the redevelopment.
Commissioner Olszewski then asked if the Redevelopment Agency was actively seeking a
Master Developer for the downtown; Redevelopment Agency Manager Woodworth
identified the Gaslighter Theatre and Old Wells Fargo Bank area as s~tes for a master
development.
Redevelopment Agency Manager Woodworth then presented the Agency's report as
follows:
(1) The goal of redevelopment is to eliminate blight and revitalize the
downtown area.
(2) "Critical mass" in the form of housing and offices as key to a successful
downtown.
(3) Redevelopment speeds the process of development versus a natural
evolution.
(4) Request for Proposals to different developers and property owners
would stimulate involvement.
(5) Once developed, the higher property values would yield more tax
increments to the City.
Planning Commissi~''' Minutes 9 June 12, 1990
Commissioner Alne asked how the the decision was made to replace the loop traffic option.
Planning Director Piasecki explained that the loop roads would remain in place, however,
two-way traffic would be provided on Campbell Avenue. Commissioner Alne suggested
that the the loop traffic method be studied before making any traffic plans. Planning
Director Piasecki reminded the Commission that this could be explored after a decision to
the proposed NOCA General Plan Amendment was made.
Commissioner Olszewski supported Commissioner Alne's suggestion to analyze w.hy the
loop method was installed in the downtown area and said this would lead to a decision
about Salmar Avenue. He endorsed conducting a "total environmental perspective" study
on the entire downtown area.
Commissioner Fox also supported both Commissioners Alne and Olszewski, and
suggested that Campbell may not need a "viable" downtown. He said that taking the study
precautions could save both time and money.
Redevelopment Agency Manager Woodworth cautioned the commissioners about
"backtracking," and commented that the Agency had already conducted much of the
necessary research.
Commissioner Christ recognized the Agency as an advantageous way to take an ini.tiative in
development. He cited the loop traffic as a success in moving traffic, and a failure tn
attracting shoppers to the downtown.
Public Works Director Wimberly stated that the Public Works Department is a supporting
body for the Redevelopment Agency. He then summarized information in the Agency's
Downtown Plan which compiled research gathered from those in the downtown area.
Public Works Director Wimberly then presented a information on the Central Campbell
Planning Area (CCPA) bounded by Hamilton Avenue (North), Bascom Avenue (east), San
Tomas Expressway & Camden Avenue (south), and Winchester Boulevard (north), with
the following highlights:
(1) The intent of the CCPA study to develop specific project proposals in
conjunction with a Master Development scenario, or alternatively
malting it a 5-year capital improvement.
(2) The overall goal: "to serve the community first and the commuter,
second."
(3) That the proposed NOCA zoning would result in fewer trip generations
to the downtown if total development occurred.
(4) The Traffic Department could not change the morning ramp backups at
Highway 17.
(5) Supported the NOCA plan as a workable plan.
(6) The total volume of traffic along Hamilton Avenue would not change.
Public Works Director Wimberly also cited other techniques that the Traffic Department is
using within the CCPA:
(1) Regional highway & transit project advocacy.
(2) Boundary arterial improvements.
(3) Internal intersections re-analyzed and redeftned to internal and through
trips.
(4) Better facilities for bikes and pedestrians
(5) Additional signals along the loop street will provide improved
downtown access and vehicular speed control
(6) 2-way downtown East Campbell Avenue
(7) 2-way Railway Avevnue
Planning Commiss;' ' Minutes 10 June 12, 1990
Public Works Director Wimberly suggested that the CCPA traffic plan would atlract
shoppers to the downtown at a moderate pace with sufficient parking.
Commissioner Alne asked where signals would be located along the loop streets; Public
Works Director Wimberly identified a "pedestrian corridor" at Cen~'al Avenue.
Commissioner Alne then asked how the CCPA study revealed a reduction in trip generation
when a number of commuters were driving cutting off Hamilton Avenue to get to Bascom
Avenue; Public Works Director Wimberly explained that the traffic modeling resulted in a
10-percent generality, and that the Traffic Depamnent would be noted of such traffic
problems from the impacted neighborhood.
Commissioner Olszewski asked if the construction of Highway 85 would relieve commuter
traffic in the commtmity; Public Works Director Wimberly responded that a relatively
significant amount of u'affic would be reduced.
Commissioner Olszewski then asked what traffic rating Salmar Avenue had; Public Works
Director Wimberly cited the right tums on Salmar Avenue at Hamilton Avenue in the
eastbound & northbound directions in the morning at level "F."
Commissioner Fox asked if the Traffic Department had conducted studies on other
downtown areas, citing areas particularly in Mountain View and Los Altos as successful
downtowns with little regard to traffic design. He suggested that facilities rather than the
traffic would determine economic success. Public Works Director Wimbefly stated that
circulation improvements would not make the downtown instantly successful. However,
the improvements would remove impediments to the success of downtown.
Commissioner Fox favored the internal support of the downtown rather than the external.
He stated that downtown Campbell should serve the needs of the existing residents rather
than draw people from the outside; Public Works Director said that the purpose of the
CCPA is to help people get to and from the residential, business, and office areas within
central Campbell.
Chairperson Perrine asked what action the Planning Commission would take regarding the
Robert B. Hicks letter which requested for an individual General Plan Amendment.
Commissioners Olszewsld and Fox did not favor granting a separate General Plan
Amendment, warning that doing so would set a dangerous precedent.
Commissioner Christ asked why the traffic issue was not addressed in the Staff findings;
Planning Director Piasecld acknowledged that staff overlooked the traffic issue and that it
would be included in the following Staff findings.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Mr. Don Peters asked about the realignment at Salmar Avenue and indicated that the
Salmar Avenue intersection at Hamilton Avenue was a key intersection to the downtown
area. He also observed an substantial increase in traffic due to the Prometheus
Development site and said this would also impact Salmar or the gateway to Hamilton.
M/S Olszewski/Christ
VOLE:
Motioned to close the Public Hearing.
Unanimously approved.
Planning Commiss;~ Minutes 11 June 12, 1990
Commissioner Christ proposed to include a sixth additional Proposed Finding for Approval
to the Circulation ProPosal to read as follows: "The proposed amendment to the
Circulation Elements be consistent with the intent to change the type of traffic in the
downtown area from commute to one of better access and service." All the commissioners
agreed to this wording.
Commissioner Alne indicated that more study needed to be conducted by the Planning
Commission prior to forwarding the application to the City Council.
Commissioner Olszewsld acknowledged a lack of details with these proposals, but said this
was not the purpose of a General Plan; he said details would be worked out in the later
stages. He argued that a stand of no action would be detximental at this point.
Commissioner Fox supported Commissioner Olszewsld's comments and stated that there
would be plenty of time to approach problems at a later date.
M/S
Fox/Christ Motioned to adopt Resolutions 2675 and
2676 according to Staff Recommendations,
including an additional ~
~ g6 to read: "The proposed
amendment to the Circulation Elements be
consistent with the intent to change the type
of traffic in the downtown area from
commute to one of better access and
service.
Commissioner Olszewski supported Commissioner Alne's earlier statement that the
Planning Commission would not "rubber stamp" projects. He expressed his confidence
that Staff was in-tune to the comments of the Planning Commission and that the
Application was not on a pre-determined course.
Chairperson Perrine recognized the value of the Redevelopment Agency, stating that the
downtown project should be looked at as an "art" and to give it a broadbrush approval.

Public Hearing to consider application of Mr. Dwain T.
Berry, on behalf of T.D. Ventures, for approval of a
Tentative Parcel Map to allow the creation of 4 single-family
lots on property located at 616 and 632 E1 Patio, in an R-l-6
(Single-Family/Low Density Residential) Zoning District.
(Planning Commission Action final unless appealed.)
Chairperson Perrine read the application into the record.
Planning Commissi'~-' Minutes 12 June 12, 1990
~taff Presentation: Principal Planner Stafford presented the application, highlighting the
creation of 2 flag lots which would be served by combining the driveways, thus providing
a private cul-de-sac. He recommended the approval of the Application.
The Public Hearing was opened.
Architect Dwaln T. Berry indicated the possible layout of the the 4 units indicated in a
conceptual design. Mr. Berry also announced an option to keep the 2 existing homes on
the front lots and later construct 2 units on the rear lots.
Mr. Valente Carrasco, 648 E. E1 Patio Drive, stated that he was not notified of the
Application plans and expressed his concern about the increased noise and traffic this
development would cause. He also raised a concern about the fence between his property
and the site, stating this would block sunlight to his yard as well as invade his privacy. He
said his plan to also build a unit on his property was denied and wanted to know why the
Application was recommended for approval. Chairperson Perrine suggested that Mr.
Carrasco meet with Staff to research the status of his property for development.
Principle Planner Stafford also announced that Staff would contact Mr. Carrasco when
specific plans arrived for the development.
Councilmember Olszewsld stated that the Planning Commission would not review this
Application once it was approved. He suggested that the Applicant meet with Mr. Carrasco
to work out a cooperative agreement.
Jane Wood, 599 E1 Patio, addressed her concern over the potential loss of the 2 existing
Victorian homes, and asked how a conceptual plan could be approved by the Planning
Commission without knowing what would be built.
Chairperson Perrine informed Ms. Wood of the "historic designation" that certain buildings
were eligible for. He also cited the design applications would be reviewed by the Planning
Director. Planning Director Piasecki said that the resident could also be notified of the
Applicant's future plans and that her comments could be considered at that time.
Louie Carrasco, 648 E. El Patio Drive, raised the issue of congestion on the proposed 4
lots. He stated that the increased density would jeopardize the property value of the
neighborhood; Chairperson Perrine stated that the Application was consistent with the
zoned area.
