Re: 63 N. First St., Campbell
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to address thc concern on behalf of thc planning department with the
additional attic space for thc project located at 63 N. First St., Campbell. My contractor,
Mike Springs elM W Springs Construction, has been working with the building
department for several weeks now on the code requirements for additional storage space
in our attic. We have worked with a draftsman and structural engineer to complete a set
of drawings, which we believe will meet commercial code standards for the requested
square footage of storage. It is not our intent to occupy this area with employees or for
any other business purpose other than storage. We arc required by thc DRE (Department
of Real Estate) to hold 3 years of files. I have been advised by our real estate attorney to
go one-step further and hold an additional 2 years beyond the DRE requirement. At
nearly 200 loans closed this calendar year you can imagine what kind of file cabinet
storage this would require. Although we have nearly 200 square feet in the basement this
will come nowhere near our 3-5 year storage requirements. You have already generously
waived two of our parking stall requirements based on office square footage and we have
no intent of jeopardizing this by "sneaking in" more employees than the approved PD
permit(s) allows.
Our other motivating factor(s) for the additional storage is that we are well over
budget on project costs and need additional construction financing. In order to secure
this, a commercial appraisal is being completed at this time and additional value can be
found (and therefore lent against on the income approach) for the additional 1200-1400
sq. ft. of attic storage. On premises storage is at a premium for commercial appraisal
purposes. I hope this helps to clarify our intended purpose for this additional square
footage.

Acoustical Analysis of the Noise Barrier Relocation, 63 N. First St.,
Campbell
Dear Mr. Cummings:
This report will provide you with the results of an acoustical analysis of the effect of the
relocation of the noise control barrier along Civic Center Drive for the planned project at
63 North First Street in Campbell. The original 6 ft. high (approx.) soundwall along the
property line contiguous with Civic Center Drive provided 7 decibels (dB) of traffic noise
reduction for the rear yards of homes exposed to Civic Center Drive.
To provide 7 dB of noise reduction through the implementation of a noise control barrier
along the west and north property lines of the planned project site, the following
measures are required:
Construct a 6 ft. high acoustically-effective barrier along the west
and north property lines of the site. The barrier shall extend from
the Civic Center Drive property line, continue along the west
property line, then continue along the north property line to a
terminus 8 ft. beyond the rear facade of the project building. The
barrier height is in reference to the nearest building pad elevation.
Please see the attached Figure 1 for the location of the recommended noise control
barrier.
MEMBER: ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA AUDIO ENGINEERING SOCIETY
To achieve an acoustically-effective barrier, it must be made air-tight, i.e., without
cracks, gaps, or other openings and must provide for long-term durability. The barrier
can be constructed of wood, concrete, stucco, masonry, earth berm or a combination
thereof and must have a minimum surface weight of 2.5 lbs. per sq. ft. If wood fencing is
used, homogeneous sheet materials are preferable to conventional wood fencing as the
latter has a tendency to warp and form openings with age. However, high quality, air-
tight, tongue-and-groove, shiplap, or board and batten construction can be used, provided
the minimum surface weight requirement is met and the construction is air-tight. The
noise control barrier must be constructed so that all joints, including connections with
posts or pilasters are sealed air-tight and no openings are permitted between the upper
barrier components and the ground.
A popular wood noise barrier consists of a sheet of 1/2" plywood between the
posts, caulked at the joints, l"x redwood siding is then nailed to each side of the
plywood for added weight, aesthetics and durability.
The implementation of the above recommended barrier will provide the same
level of Civic Center Drive traffic noise reduction as the original barrier. If you have any
questions, please call me.

TITLE
Application of Mr. Roger Cummings, on behalf of Network Funding Associates, Inc., for
approval of a Planned Development Permit (PLN 1999-22) and Tree Removal Permit (PLN
2000-12) to allow the conversion of an existing residential use into office use on property located
at 63 North First Street in a P-D (Planned Development-Office/Low-Medium Density
Residential) Zoning District.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Adopt a Resolution, incorporating the attached findings, approving a Planned Development
Permit (PLN 1999-22) and Tree Removal Permit(PLN 2000-12), 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 small commercial structures of less than 10,000 square feet in an urbanized area; therefore, no
environmental action is required
BACKGROUND
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit
and Tree Removal Permit to allow the conversion of an existing residential structure into an
office use. The subject property is currently occupied with an older residential structure that has
been divided into 3 apartments and various accessory and subordinate buildings. The applicant's
proposal is to renovate the main structure into office uses and to remove the accessory structures
and develop a parking area to the rear of the proposed office building. The proposed parking area
would take access from a new driveway along Civic Center Drive and would necessitate the
removal of the existing sound wall. Additionally, the parking improvements would require the
removal of an existing pepper tree to the rear of the proposed office. The applicant intends to
retain an existing pine and pepper tree along the perimeter of the property. This residential
structure is currently listed on the Historic Resource Inventory List and would represent the
preservation and renovation of this structure.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Medium
Density Residential and/or Offices. The residential designation allows a density of 6 to 13
dwelling units per gross acre and the office use designation permits professional offices. The
proposed project will allow the conversion of this residential structure into an office that is
consistent with the City's General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is Planned Development (PD).
Under the PD zoning ordinance, a Planned Development Permit must be approved by the City
City Council Report- March 21, 2000
PLN 1999-22 and PLN 2000-12
Page 2
Council to allow the conversion of this structure to office uses. The proposed project will be
consistent with the zoning ordinance with approval of a Planned Development Permit.
Downtown Neighborhood Development Policies: The project site is located within an area
subject to the Downtown Neighborhood Development Policies which include guidelines for non-
residential uses. These guidelines encourage office uses that retain the residential character
and scale of the surrounding residential neighborhood. This policy requires the provision of on-
site parking and landscape screening to minimize the commercial appearance of the commercial
use.
Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission at its meeting of February 22, 2000,
adopted resolution No.3261 recommending approval of the applicant's requested Planned
Development Permit and Tree Removal Permit.
Historic Preservation Board: The Historic Preservation Board reviewed the applicant's proposal
at its meeting of January 26, 2000 and was supportive of the adaptive reuse of this residential
structure.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the proposed Planned Development Permit, subject to additional and/or modified
Conditions of Approval.
2. Deny the requested Planned Development Permit.
3. Continue for further review.

neighborhood.
4. The proposed project is consistent with other developments in the surrounding area and is
consistent with the development standards for commercial uses.
5. The removal of the smaller Pepper tree is not a significant change in the existing vegetation on site.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes that:
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 and allows for the adaptive reuse of an older
residential structure.

Cummings, R.
Public Hearing to consider the application of Mr. Roger Cummings
for approval of a Planned Development Permit (PLN1999-22) and
Tree Removal Permit (PLN2000-12) to allow the conversion of an
existing residential use into office use on property located at 63 N.
First Street in a PD (Planned Development - Office/Low-Medium
Density Residential) Zoning District. This project is Categorically
Exempt. Tentative City Council Meeting Date: March 21, 2000.
Mr. Tim J. Haley, Associate Planner, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the applicant is seeking a Planned Development Permit and Tree Removal
Permit to allow the conversion of an existing residence into office space.
Said that the applicant will convert the rear yard into parking with seven spaces.
· Informed that the General Plan Land Use designation for this property is either Low to
Medium Density Residential or Office Use. This proposed office use is therefore consistent
with the General Plan.
· The project is also located in the Downtown Neighborhood and this proposal is consistent
with the Downtown Development Policies.
· The project site is located at the comer of Civic Center Drive and North First Street.
· The surrounding uses include residential to the north and west, City Hall to the east and the
Downtown to the south.
· The Tree Removal Permit is to allow the removal of a pepper tree which is located in the
center of what will become the parking area at the rear of the property.
· Staff recommends the adoption of a Resolution recommending Council approval.
Commissioner Lowe asked whether the City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed this project and is
comfortable with the driveway leading off site directly onto Civic Center Drive.
Mr. Tim J. Haley advised that the Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and has no objection
to the driveway leading onto Civic Center Drive. The light at the comer of Civic Center and
First will allow cars to safely leave the site. Added that the existing sound wall will be removed
which will allow good visibility to cars leaving the site.
Commissioner Hemandez asked whether seven parking spaces will adequately serve the site.
Mr. Tim J. Haley advised that nine spaces would typically be required. However, this site will be
used by an Intemet business with few visitors. In future years, the employees may number 10.
Chairperson Gibbons added that the structure in recent years has been used for multi-family
residential. Those tenants have actually used City Hall parking in the evening hours.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit and a
Tree Removal Permit to allow the conversion of an existing residential structure into an office use.
The subject property is currently occupied with an older residential structure that has been divided
into 3 apartments and various accessory and subordinate buildings. The applicant's proposal is to
renovate the main structure into office uses and to remove the accessory structures and develop a
parking area to the rear of the proposed office building. This residential structure is currently listed
on the Historic Resource Inventory List. The Primary Inventory Form is provided as Attachment 3.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the site is Low Medium
Density Residential and / or Offices. The residential designation allows a density of 6 to 13
dwelling units per gross acre and the office designation use permits professional offices. The
proposed project will allow the conversion of this residential structure into an office that is
consistent with the City's General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is Planned Development (PD).
Under the PD zoning ordinance, a Planned Development Permit must be approved by the City
Council to allow the conversion of this structure to office uses. The proposed project will be
consistent with the zoning ordinance with approval of a Planned Development Permit.
Downtown Neighborhood Development Policies: The project site is located within an area subject
to the Downtown Neighborhood Development Policies which includes guidelines for non-
residential uses. These guidelines encourage office uses that retain the residential character and
scale of the surrounding residential neighborhood. This policy requires the provision of on-site
parking and landscape screening to minimize the commercial appearance of the commercial use.
Surrounding Neighborhood: The surrounding neighborhood on First and Second Street consists of
residences and a church to the North and the Central Downtown Business District to the South. The
Civic Center Complex is situated across First Street from the project site.
Staff Report - Planning Commission Meeting of February 22, 2000
PLN 99-22 - 63 North First Street
Page 3
Site Plan: The site plan proposes the remodel of the existing residence as an office use and the
establishment of a parking area to the rear of the building that would take access from Civic Center
Drive. The setbacks and building placement would remain the same for the restoration of the main
structure. A small portion of the existing laundry room at the rear of the building would be removed
to accommodate disabled access. The current building footprint would be reduced slightly with the
renovation.
Unit Design: The existing building consists of horizontal wood siding, hipped and shed roofs with
composition shingles, wood trim around windows. The applicant is proposing to retain a majority
of the existing windows and building siding. Stairs and doors to the apartment units, added after the
original construction, will be removed. The front porch will be retained. Where portions of the
building are modified, new siding, trim and architectural elements will match the existing.
Parking: The applicant is providing a total of 7 parking spaces for the project. The provided parking
results in a parking ratio of 1:289. Typically, 9 parking spaces or a parking ratio of 1:225 is required
for office uses. However, staff finds the proposed parking adequate for the proposed use for the
following reasons:
· The proposed conversion of an older residential structure does not create an efficient floor plan
for an office use as in a newly constructed office space.
· Approximately 15 percent of the proposed square footage is within the basement area that would
be used for storage purposes.
· The project site is situated on Civic center Drive and adjacent to the Downtown loop street
system that has developed parallel parking spaces, and
· Projects in the downtown business core are required to provide at a parking ratio of 1:385 to
1:425 for office uses.
Circulation and Access: The proposed parking area will be accessed via a new driveway from Civic
Center Drive. The project site currently does not have a driveway in that it was eliminated at the
time the loop street circulation system was installed. The proposed driveway location and
circulation pattern has been found to be acceptable by staff. A condition of approval requires the
applicant to reconstruct the sidewalk along the Civic Center Drive frontage to accommodate the new
driveway and to repair damaged portions of the sidewalk.
Tree Removal Permit: An existing 6"multi-trunk Pepper tree is situated in the middle of the
proposed parking area and is indicated for removal. Staff is recommending that the applicant
incorporate 24" box trees as a part of their landscaping plan to mitigate the removal of this tree. The
conceptual landscape plan indicates the retention of an existing Stone Pine tree at the comer of First
and Civic Center and a larger Pepper tree along the northern property line.
Landscaping and Paving: Staff is recommending a condition of approval that the applicant submit
and have approved a landscaping and irrigation plan prior to the issuance of building permits. This
StaffReport - Planning Commission Meeting of February 22, 2000
PLN 99-22 - 63 North First Street
Page 4
condition requires the submittal of a plan that is sensitive to the historic age of the proposed office
building and requires the installation of a decorative paving treatment in the rear parking area.
Sound Wall/Fencing: The presented site plan indicates the removal of the precast concrete sound
wall and the traffic barricade along the Civic Center Drive frontage. The removal of this wall will
significantly improve the visibility of the office use and the rear parking area. However, its removal
will also diminish the sound attenuation provided to adjacent residential uses. Consequently, staff is
recommending that the sound wall be relocated to the east and north property lines or that the
fencing along these property lines provide a similar sound attenuation. Staff additionally is
recommending that the applicant provide a low screen fence and/or hedge to soften the appearance
of the rear parking area.
Historic Preservation Board Review: The Historic Preservation Board reviewed this project on
January 26, 2000. The Board was supportive of the restoration efforts on the adaptive reuse of the
building as an office. The made the following recommendations to the Planning Commission:
n Where possible, minimize the amount of paving in the parking area.
[] Utilize landscaping material and design to compliment the historic period of the dwelling.
[] Provide a sound wall barrier to protect the homes in the area from parking lot noise.
[] Supported the removal of the traffic barrier at the comer of First Street and Civic Center Drive.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
considered this application at its meeting of February 8, 2000. The Committee was supportive of
the application as proposed and found that the project would be a good complement to this
neighborhood.

site.
Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
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 and allows for the adaptive reuse of an
older residential structure.
2. The proposed development is consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance.
3. The proposed development and uses clearly will result in a more desirable environment and use
of land than would be possible under any other zoning classification.
4. The proposed development will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the
neighborhood or of the City as a whole.

CITY OF CAMPBELL
To Whom It May Concem:
As per item 9) in the letter dated December 20, 1999, the following is an
operational description of Network Funding Associates. We will be conducting business
as both a mortgage broker and real estate broker (d.b.a. "The Wright House"). Our
anticipated hours of operation are from 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday - Friday with some
coverage on the weekends (8:00am-4:00pm). We are mainly focused on Intemet
originations but do have a regular pipeline of customers and referrals. Over 90% of our
applications are taken either through the Internet, over the phone or faxed. We have very
little foot traffic in and out of the office from regular customer visits (an occasional real
estate client or mortgage application). Most of our visitors are wholesale lending reps
and couriers throughout the day. We do not anticipate a large increase in this traffic and
will probably see even more of our originations moving towards the Internet in the year
2000. Our current staff is 7 full time employees with one part time agent who works
from home. We expect to hire possibly 2 more support staff once we move into the
property this spring. A staff of 8-10 employees more than likely will take us through the
remainder of next year. If there are more questions regarding Network Funding
Associates, please do not hesitate to call me.

63 N. First Street- Roger Cummings
Date: February 8, 2000
Proposal:
The applicant is requesting approval of a Planned Development Permit to allow the conversion of an existing residential use
into offices at the northwest corner of North First Street and Civic Center Drive across from City Hall. The proposed office
will maintain the existing entrance from First St. and will develop a second entrance from a new parking area at the rear of
the office. The proposed conversion would establish a parking area to the rear of the existing residence that would take
access from Civic Center Drive. The existing sound wall and traffic barrier alOng Civic Center Drive are shown to be
removed.
The project site is located in a P-D (Planned Development/Office and Low-Medium Density Residential) Zoning District.
The proposed use is permitted subject to approval of a Planned Development Permit. The General Plan designation is for
Office or Low-Medium Density residential uses.
This application was reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board at its meeting of January 26, 2000. The Board expressed the
following concerns:
· Questioned the removal of the sound wall in that it protects the Second St. residential district
· Questioned the desirability of a driveway access along Civic Center Drive and
· Requested that landscape plantings and the parking area be sensitive to the historic period of the residence.
The applicant, Roger Cummings is proposing the conversion of this residence into office uses for his mortgage and real estate
brokerage firms. The site plan indicates that approximately 1785 square feet of office will be accommodated. The proposed project
would renovate the existing house while maintaining the majority of the current windows and siding.
The applicant is proposing the construction of a parking area to the rear of the building that would take access from Civic Center
Drive and accommodates 7 parking spaces. The proposed parking results in a parking ratio of 1:289. This improvement would
require the demolition of the accessory buildings in the rear and the removal of the sound wall along Civic Center Drive. Other
improvements include the landscaping of the parking area and around the perimeter of the office space.
The project furthers the goal of the adaptive reuse of this residential structure and is consistent with the land use designation of
Offices/and Low-Medium Density Residential uses shown for this area.
The proposed hours of operation are limited to 8AM to 8 PM Monday through Friday and 8 AM to 4:30PM on weekends.

consistent with the residential density shown on the General Plan. Based upon your description, the age of the
duplex appears to predate the building permit records that are available at the County of Santa Clara. In this
situation, the City utilizes tax, utility and City records to establish the legality of dwelling units. Utility and
assessment records establish the legality of these units in this instance.
Consequently, the Planning Division does not oppose updating the current electrical system for this duplex.
Please contact the undersigned if you should have any questions regarding this information. I may be reached at
(408) 866-2144.

Dear Mr. Cmnmmgs:
Thank you for your submittal dated August 27, 1999 of a preliminary application for the conversion
of an existing residential use into professional offices on the reference property.
The subject property is zoned P-D(Planned Development) and is shown as a mixed use of Iow-medium
density residential/or professional land use on the City's General Plan. The conversion to a
professional office use will require approval of a Planned Development Permit. The residence is also
listed on the historical inventory list for historic properties. The Historic Preservation Board will need
to be involved in the entitlement process. A Planned Development Permit is approved by the City
Council upon recommendation of the Planning Commission.
The general development concept for the property recommends the development of a parking area to
the rear of the existing building which takes access from a two way driveway along Civic Center
Drive. This concept would eliminate the sound or relocate it to the north property line and upgrade the
appearance of the property along Civic Center drive and First Street. This concept does not involve
the residential property to the north of the comer lot.
Other items that would be encourage with the pursuit of this application would be the retention of
significant trees along the perimeter of the parking area, the removal of the highway traffic barber at
the comer and provision of disable access to the building.
I have enclosed comments from the responding departments. Please contact me at (408) 866-2144 to
discuss the application process and further refinement of your proposal.
