RE: Winchester Drive-In Site
City of Campbell
Dear Mr. Dow&
Thank you for your letter of July 27, 1983 in which you raised the question
as to whether or not a motel use would be permitted as part of the redevelop-
ment planned for the Winchester Drive-In site.
The current Land Use Element of Campbell's General Plan indicates an "IndUstrial''
land use for the drive-in site. The current zoning on the site is M-1-S (Light
Industrial). It should be noted that a motel is not listed as a permitted use,
or as a use requiring a Use Permit. If it is your intent to develop a motel in
the M-1-S Zoning District, it is suggested that you address a letter to the
Campbell Planning Cor~nission requesting that a motel be allowed in the M-1-S
Zoning District subject to approval of a Use Permit.
Another possibility that you may wish to consider would be to rezone the pro-
perry to PD (Planned Development). Such a rezoning would require the submittal
of detailed site plans and elevations of the proposed motel. As you may be
aware, this is the approach that was taken when the existing California 6 Motel
was built in Campbell.
Lastly, it should be noted that the Campbell Sign Ordinance does not permit
off-site signs. Also, signs which are visible from the freeway [Highway 17)
require approval from the Planning Commission and City Council. Since signing
is an important aspect of a motel's operation, you may wish to apply for appro-
val of a sign permit early in your planning process.
If there are any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to
contact me.
Sincerely,

Staff Report
Staff Report regarding police reports for the
Winchester Drive-In.
Mr. Kee reported that at its previous meeting, the Commission requested Staff
to check with the Police Department to determine the number of police responses
to problems associated with the drive-in operation. The Police Department has
indicated that there have been three written police reports during the last
year, although other calls have been made with no reports taken.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked that the management and owners of the theater
be apprised of the concerns of the area residents, as expressed at the public
hearing when a use permit for a flea market was considered.
Mr. Kee stated that he has talked with the General Manager, Mr. Jack Haigh,
specifically about the problems expressed by area residents. Mr. Haigh has
indicated that he is taking steps, through the management of the drive-in,
to abate any problems.
Mr. Dempster commented that Ur. Haigh also indicated that anyone who is having
a problem with drive-in patrons should contact him or the theater management
directly. Mr. Dempster added that perhaps Staff could send letters to the
people who spoke at the public hearing telling them to get in touch with the
theater management when they have any problems.
Commissioner Dickson felt that perhaps this situation should be reviewed again
in six months.
It was moved by Commissioner Dickson, and seconded by Commissioner Fairbanks,
that this item be reviewed in six months {September 1983), and that area residents
who expressed concern with the operation be notified to contact the theater
management with their concerns. Motion carried with a vote of 4-0-2-1, with
Commissioner Kasolas abstaining because he felt this was not necessary.

DISCUSSION
At its previous meeting, the Cormnission requested Staff to check with the
Police Department to determine the m~nber of police responses to problems
associated with the Winchester Drive-In. The Police Department has in-
dicated that there have been three written police reports during the last
year -- one dealing with bottles being thrown into the mobilehome park,
and two regarding fights or disturbances within the drive-in. The Police
Department has indicated that there have been other calls to the drive-in,
but no reports were taken.

OTHER IT~4S BROUGHT UP BY O3~[ISSIONERS
Commissioner Dickson requested a report from the Police Department regarding
possible planning violations at the Winchester Drive-In, in light of the
discussion raised by surrounding property owners when the flea market use
w~s requested.
Commissioner Kasolas asked if there was anything that could be done about
abandoned wrecked automobiles, noting that there has been one sitting on
the comer of Hacienda and San Tomas Aquino Road for several weeks, as
well as several cars on property at Sonuca and Lovell.
~.~r. Helms reported briefly on City policy regarding sidewalks in industrial
areas, and noted he would present some ideas to the Commission on this subject
at the next meeting.

Chairman Kotowski requested the Public Works Departn~nt to contact the County
Transit District regarding the bus stop on Winchester Boulevard, across from
3050 S. Winchester Blvd.). Because there is no bus shelter, or duck-out,
people are waiting for the bus in the middle of the railroad tracks.

Re: P~P°Sed ~F~ea Market
Dear Planning Commission,
As the owner of the business at 75 Cristich Lane, Campbell, we do object
to the proposed flea market, which would be held in our area.at
the Winchester Drive-ins every weekend. There would be vandalism and
malicious mischief going on, traffic congestion and our area would be
littered with trash and debris.
I must protest this action and urge you not to allow this to come about.

Mr. Kee reported that a request for ~ 30 day continuance has been received
from the applicant.
Chairman Kotowski declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Ted Moeller, 53 Palomar Real, spoke on behalf of the Paseo de Palomas
Mobilehome Park residents opposing the issuance of a use permit for a flea
market on the basis of traffic, trash, vandalism, robberies,lack of security,
and noise factors. He noted that the mobilehome park residents were opposed
to the theater being put in this area years ago. Mr. Moeller stated that
the mobilehome park has not had cooperation from the theater management in
relation to complaints and problems. He concluded that the park residents
are already under a great deal of stress in that they have been evicted from
the property by the property owner, and it would be unfortunate to add any
additional burdens to these people. Mr. Moeller presented a petition con-
taining 135 signatures opposing the granting of this use permit (attached
hereto and made a part of this record).
Mr. Gordon Turner, 94 La Paz, spoke against the granting of a use permit for
a flea market citing the problems indicated by Mr. Moeller.
Chairman Kotowski requested Staff to report back regarding police difficulties
between the mobilehome park and the drive-in for the last 24 months, if
possible.
No one else wishing to speak at this time, it was moved by Commissioner
Fairbanks, and seconded by Commissioner Howard, that UP 82-25 be continued
to the Planning Commission meeting of February 8, 1983. Motion carried

Continued public hearing to consider the application
of Mr. Jack Haigh on behalf of Syufy Enterprises for

information could be supplied regarding traffic. A copy of the previous Staff
Comment Sheet is attached for the Commission's review.
The Public Works Department is in the process of completing traffic counts in
the area and will present an oral report at the meeting.
Staff is of the opinion that the flea market use is acceptable and should not

STAFF COMMENT SHEET - PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 1982
UP 82-25
Haigh, J.
Public hearing to consider the application of Mr. Jack
Haigh on behalf of Syufy Enterprises for a use permit
to allow a flea market to be operated on weekends between
the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on property known as
535 Westchester Drive (Winchester Drive-In) in a M-1-S
(Light Industrial) Zoning District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving this application,
subject to the attached conditions.
STAFF DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting approval of a use permit to allow the operation
of a flea market at the Winchester Drive-In. The flea market would be operated
on weekends between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Attached for the Commission's review are the operating procedures as proposed
by the applicant.
One of Staff's concerns is the effect of noise from the flea market on the
Paseo De Palomas Mobile Home Park, adjacent to the drive-in on the east. The
applicant has indicated that there will be no loud speaker system and that
parking will not be immediately adjacent to the mobile home park. Staff is
also recommending that the start of the flea market be changed from 7:00 a.m.
to 9:00 a.m. With these conditions, noise impact should be minimal.
It is Staff's opinion that the use should not create major traffic problems,
as incoming and outgoing traffic will not be concentrated at a certain time
but rather spread out over the day.
In general, Staff believes that the use is acceptable and should not be detri-
mental to the area; however, Staff is recommending a six month review of this
use.
Several letters have been received pertaining to this item, and these
are attached for the Commission's review.

respectfully request that serious consideration be made of the following:
l)
2)
3)
Excessive trash, garbage, and vandalism already present from the evening
theatre will be seriously increased with all day Saturday and Sunday
traffic. As a business located near the entrance on Westchester Drive
we lose shrubs and hoses, our trees are broken down, our plantings
are trampled, and our street and driveways are littered with bottles.
cans, broken glass, Kleenex, and more. We have been attempting to up-
grade the area's appearance but it is quite discouraging.
Increased security and clean-up in the area is required even now and
considerably more will be needed, resulting in increased cost to the
city, as well as the businesses along Westchester and McGlincey.
Evening traffic on popular movie nights makes it impossible to get to
the businesses along McGlincey and Westchester except to go through
the half-mile long line-up. Additional traffic which would be added
by a Saturday and Sunday Flea Market along the narrow McGlincey Lane
will make it an all day problem as well. Accessibility for fire engines
is questionable at those times.
4)
5)
6)
Additional traffic control will be required, again at a cost to the city.
Even though there will be free parking inside the theatre, many will
park outside to avoid the parking jam inside, thus increasing the
vandalism and trash probability, as well as reducing the parking needed
by business employees working on Saturday. The Capitol Drive-In Flea
Market has shown that this outside parking will be inevitable.
We request also that the present trash, vandalism and traffic problems
due to the theatre be solved regardless of whether a Flea Market is
allowed or not.

Re: Proposed Flea Market
As the owner of the property at 800 Cristich Street, Campbell, we
object to the proposed flea market for the following reasons:
There will be trash and debris scattered throughout the neighborhood
There will be a problem with traffic congestion
With the bringing in of people (flea market customers) to the neighborhood,
there will be a problem with vandalism and maliCious mischief.
There will be too much noise.
We feel these things will hurt our property value and detract from
the quality of the existing neighborhood.
Please do not permit a flea market to be operated on the property
known as 535 Westchester Drive.

T RA S H. The adjanect property owners in the McGlincey area

DECEMBER 14, 1982
UP 82-25
Haigh, J.
Public hearing to consider the application of Mr. Jack
Haigh on behalf of Syufy Enterprises for a use permit
to allow a flea market to be operated on weekends be-
tween the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on property known
as 535 Westchester Drive (Winchester Drive-In) in an
M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District.
Mr. Kee reported that the applicant is requesting approval of a use permit to
allow the operation of a flea market at the Winchester Drive-In on weekends
between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. One of Staff's concerns is the effect of noise
from the flea market on the Paseo de Palomas Mobilehome Park, adjacent to the
drive-in on the east. The applicant has indicated that there will be no loud
speaker system and that parking will not be immediately adjacent to the mobile-
home park. Staff is also recommending that the start of the flea market be
changed from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. With these conditions, noise impact should be
minimal. It is Staff's opinion that the use should not create major traffic
-6-
problems, as incoming and outgoing traffic will not be concentrated at a
certain time, but rather spread out over the day. In general, Staff believes
that the use is acceptable and should not be detrimental to the area; however,
Staff is recommending a six-month review of this use.
Commissioner Kasolas asked if Staff knew what experience other flea markets
in the area have had regarding the hours and the restriction of alcoholic
beverages.
Mr. Kee noted that Staff did contact the City of San Jose. The concerns
expressed by San Jose have been addressed in our conditions of approval.
Mr. Helms stated that the Public Works Department Staff spoke with the
San Jose Traffic Engineering Division, and they indicated they had no
problems with flea markets and they anticipated Campbell would have no
problems.
Commissioner Fairbanks noted that several letters have been received pertaining
to this item (attached to the Staff Comment Sheet), all concerned with the
trash problem in the area. She asked if there was something that could be
done to alleviate this concern.
Mr. Kee stated that condition no. 5 of the Planning Department indicated a
review of this use permit in six months, and,other than the word of the
applicant, there is really no way to police a problem such as this. There
may also be other problems which might arise that cannot be foreseen, at this
time--these could all be looked at in a six-month review.
Chairman Meyer noted to the Commission that all the letters attached to the
Staff Comment.Sheet were, in fact, from the same address.
Commissioner Campos as how close this activity is proposed to the mobilehome
park, and if there was any information available regarding the trip ends for
this type of operation.
Mr. Kee noted that there is a landscape buffer between the park and the drive-in
screen area of approximately 25 feet.
Mr. Helms stated that he did not have triP-end information at this point.
Chairman Meyer declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Jack Haigh, applicant, noted that he manages both the Winchester Drive-In
and the Capitol Drive-In. Mr. Haigh stated that he is in agreement with the
conditions of approval, except the suggested change in the hours (from 7 a.m.
to 9 a.m.). He stated that the early hours are needed to get the sellers i'nto
the area and let them get set up for buyers who arrive later in the day. The
normal hours for sellers to arrive is 7 a.m. Additionally, Mr. Haigh stated
that he would make a commitment to police the trash situation; he was not
aware there was a problem.
Mr. Kee noted that Staff's main concern with the early starting time was with
possible noise inflicted on the mobilehome park residents, and that is why
the 9 a.m. starting time was proposed.
-7-
Commissioner Kotowski asked Mr. Haigh how much experience he has had with
this type of operation, and how much noise can be generated.
Mr. Haigh responded that his company has the Capitol Drive-In in San Jose,
as well as one in Reno and one in Solano. He indicated that the noise
generated by this type of operation was not much; and, if the opening for
sellers is held off until 9 a.m., there will be a line-up of vehicles
because the sellers like to get to the grounds early to get located. Mr.
Haigh stated that he has not had any problems with his other operations.
Regarding the trash situation, Mr. Haigh stated that the drive-in personnel
had been cleaning up trash, and should still be doing so. He noted that he
would speak to the theater manager immediately, and apologized for any
problems.
Commissioner Kotowski asked if there would be an auction at this flea
market.
Mr. Haigh stated there would not be.
Commissioner Campos asked how alcoholic beverages would be controlled.
Mr. Haigh stated that there would be no alcoholic beverages sold, and there
is security staff on the premises at all times.
Commissioner Dickson asked how the difference between buyers and sellers is
determined.
Mr. Haigh stated that the sellers come early and are assigned certain areas
of the grounds on which they may park and set up their stalls. They are
also registered at the gate and given sellers passes which identify them
as such.
Mr. Hugh Verasa, who has a business at 559 Westchester Drive, stated that
he has noticed the trash problem and that usually his people pick it up
on Monday morning. He would appreciate the drive-in taking care of this
problem. He continued that his observation of the Capitol Drive-In operation
is that people will not pay for parking on-site but will park on the street.
There is also vandalism in the area, especially at night. Mr. Verasa also
requested some security assurance in regard to the vandalism. He added that
he has a good relationship with the theater and its management.
Chairman Meyer asked if the buyers pay to enter the flea market or to park
their vehicles.
Mr. Haigh stated that buyers pay ~D admission fee.and park~oD]the. Dremises,
and there is no reason for anyone to park outside the theater. He added
that the Darkina lavout will be wherever the Police Department determines
it to he.
Mr. Arthur Burton, 879 McGlincey Lane, stated that he has removed quite a
bit of trash from the area, especially in the summer months. In the past,
the theater has had people picking up trash, but he has not seen this done
for several years now. He added that the policing of the trash situation
would help.
-8-
Commissioner Kotowski indicated that he is not so concerned about the
possible trash from the flea market use, as he is about the trash left
in the area by the theater patrons.
No one else wishing to speak, it was moved by Commissioner Kasolas, and
seconded by Commissioner Howard, that the public hearing be closed.
Motion carried unanimously (7-0-0).
Discussion
Commissioner Dickson stated that he would like additional information from
Staff regarding the traffic; and, he was also concerned about the hours
in relation to the noise inflicted on the mobilehome park residents.
Commissioner Kasolas noted that Staff's concerns could be addressed by
having a three-month review if necessary. The Commission has had many
dealings with this applicant in the past, and he has been very accommodating.
This is a 22 acre site which is vacant all day, and the proposed use seems
to be appropriate. He added that he was comfortable with the parking layout
and the fact that most of the sellers would be congregating around the snack
bar area.
Motion
It was moved by Commissioner Kasolas, and seconded by Commissioner Howard,
that UP 82-25 be approved with the hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
a three-month review, and the remainder of conditions as listed in the Staff
Comment Sheet.
Discussion on Motion
Commissioner Dickson stated that he was in disagreement with the motion due
to traffic problems in the area.
Commissioner Kotowski noted that the evening movies all start at a specific
time with all the traffic converging in the area at once, whereas the flea
market patrons would be arriving at staggered intervals. He added that
the Commission may not have full information for a decision on this item.
Commissoner Campos expressed concern with the 7 a.m. starting time, noting
that this was extremely early for the mobilehome park residents. He felt
that there was not enough information on traffic, as well as methods for
controlling alcoholic beverages and vandalism.
Commissioner Fairbanks expressed concerns regarding the hours of operation,
as well as traffic. She noted she would be inclined toward a continuance
of this item.
Commissioner Howard noted that the flea markets he was familiar with were
well operated, with a minimum of noise and traffic problems. It is his
understanding that the drive-in access is controlled and sellers are not
allowed to enter until 7 a.m. He added that he is in agreement with the
motion.
Commissioner Kotowski requested additional information regarding traffic.
-9-
Commissioner Howard noted that the requested traffic information could be
presented at the proposed three-month review, thereby allowing Staff ade-
quate time to accumulate needed data.

UP 82-25
Haigh, J.
Public hearing to consider the application of Mr. Jack
Haigh on behalf of Syufy Enterprises for a use permit
to allow a flea market to be operated on weekends between
the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on property known as
535 Westchester Drive (Winchester Drive-In) in a M-I-S
(Light Industrial) Zoning District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving this application,
subject to the attached conditions.
STAFF DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting approval of a use permit to allow the operation
of a flea market at the Winchester Drive-In. The flea market would be operated
on weekends between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Attached for the Commission's review are the operating procedures as proposed
by the applicant.
One of Staff's concerns is the effect of noise from the flea market on the
Paseo De Palomas Mobile Home Park, adjacent to the drive-in on the east. The
applicant has indicated that there will be no loud speaker system and that
parking will not be immediately adjacent to the mobile home park. Staff is
also recommending that the start of the flea market be changed from 7:00 a.m.
to 9:00 a.m. With these conditions, noise impact should be minimal.
It is Staff's opinion that the use should not create major traffic problems,
as incoming and outgoing traffic will not be concentrated at a certain time
but rather spread out over the day.
In general, Staff believes that the use is acceptable and should not be detri-
mental to the area; however, Staff is recommending a six month review of this
use.
Several letters have been received pertaining to this item, and these
are attached for the Commission's review.
