Dear Mr. Bayandorian,
Thank you for attending the General Plan Community Meeting on May 3, 2001. The following
information was first sent to you on December 19, 2000 in response to your letter dated November
29, 2000. I am sending this to you again since you stated at the meeting that you did not receive
this letter.
The City of Campbell Community Development Department has analyzed your request for a
clarification as to whether your business will conform in the proposed General Plan Land Use
Designation for the property at 75 Dillon Avenue. The proposed General Plan Land Use
Designation is commercial and/or Medium to High Density Residential.
Please note that contrary to the statement made in your letter, Research and Development is not a
proposed land use for this area. The current General Plan Land Use Designation is Commercial /
Residential/Industrial. The Industrial land use is proposed for removal from the South of Campbell
Avenue area due to concerns about the incompatibility between residential and industrial uses due
to the generation of noise, odors, or other industrial by-products.
The professional office use you are proposing would be a commercial use that is permitted in the
current and proposed land use designation. Your proposed storage area would be Permitted in the
proposed Commercial land use designation since it's a limited area and would be incidental to the
permitted office use. The storage building on the southwest comer of the property was approved as
a Modification to the Planned Development Permit in 1977.
However, you will need to apply for a Modification to the original Planned Development Permit
(PD 72-4) that was approved in 1972 because the Planned Development Permit allowed 1,316
square feet of warehouse space and 784 square feet of office space and you are proposing to change
the amount of square footage for these uses.

You will be required to provide additional parking in conformance with the parking standards for
office uses, which requires one parking space per 225 square feet of gross floor area.
Should you have any questions regarding this information, please give me a call at (408) 866-2193.
Sincerely,
Darcy Smith

Dear Mr. Bayandorian,

The professional office use you are proposing would be a commercial use that is permitted in the

the original Planned Development Permit that was approved in 1972. You will need to provide
additional parking in conformance with the parking standards for office uses, which requires one
parking space per 225 square feet of gross floor area. This may be difficult given the limited lot
size. Your proposed storage area would probably be permitted in the proposed Commercial land
use designation since it's a limited area and would be incidental to the permitted office use.
The following types of uses will probably be prohibited on this site:
A. Storage of industrial vehicles, except for the purpose of loading and unloading;
B. The storage or warehousing of merchandise or products in the building or on the premises
for sale other than at retail on the premises;
C. The outdoor storage of merchandise or products;

The assembly, compounding, manufacturing, or processing of merchandise or products,
except such as are customarily incidental or essential to permitted retail commercial and
service uses;
go
Any use which is obnoxious or offensive or creates a nuisance to the occupants or
commercial visitors of adjacent buildings or premises by reason of the emission of dust,
fumes, glare, heat, liquids, noise, odor, smoke, steam, vibrations, or similar disturbance;

RE: 75 Dillon
Dear Mr. Bradley,
On July 28, 2000 I purchased the property at 75 Dillon. This property is currently
being used as an auto repair shop. This tenant's lease expires on August 30, 2001. We will
not renew this lease.
I am planning to relocate my business to this location. BIAX Communications is
in the business of assembling, selling and installing telephone systems for business, similar to
the systems that you might be using in your office. We are considered to be in the high tech
business. To days' telephone systems are very similar to computers. We purchase the cards
and components, assemble them, program and install them for the end user. We also supply
similar services for high speed internet access. BIAX manufactures nothing.
I am planning to replace some of the roll-up doors with glass windows in
aluminum frames and add office space inside the building. Close to 80% of the building is used
for offices. It resembles a Research and Development area. A small portion is used for storage
of tools and spare parts. Most of our services are performed at the customer site.
Given the information above, I am not clear whether this type of business is
conforming for M-HDR/C zoning ( Medium To High Density Residential / Commercial,
controlled manufacturing)
Please respond in writing. Thank you in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Haro Bayandorian
