developed as a residential project. Consequently, the City of Campbell wishes to release
and return the enclosed performance bond.
Please do not hesitate the undersigned at (408) 866-2144, if you have questions or need

Sincerely,
Tim J. Haley

NON-CONFORMING USE AGREEMENT
This non-conforming use agreement is made this /~"' day of /~F'" !
1994 by the City of Campbell~ and Lee Stevens for the benefit of both parties.
RECITALS
Mr. Lee Stevens of Polishing Plus requests approval to occupy the tenant
space at 150 Harrison Ave. Polishing Plus provides auto detailing and retail
sales of automotive seats and supplies. The tenant space was previously
occupied by a sign manufacturing company.
The subject site is located in the North of Campbell Avenue (NOCA) Special
Project Area and is zoned PD (Planned Development), which allows for
commercial retail, professional office, and residential land uses. The retail
and office uses associated with the proposal are permitted subject to providing
adequate parking and a trash enclosure. However, auto-detailing is
considered a non-conforming use.
Section 21.66 of the Campbell Zoning Ordinance, Non-Conforming Uses,
provides for the continuation of a use that was previously, but is no longer in
conformance with the underlying zoning. This section also states that when
the original nonconforming use ceases, subsequent uses shall not be more
intensive that the previous use.
Upon meeting with Mr. Stevens and site visits, staff has developed some
measures to reduce the intensity of the auto-detailing use to a level that is less
than the intensity of the previous sign manufacturing use.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the City of Campbell
approving an auto-detailing use at 150 Harrison Avenue, Mr. Lee Stevens
agrees to the following terms, conditions, and restrictions on the use of the
property, which:
Requires that the applicant demonstrate adequate on-site parking and
circulation.
2. Provide some retail oriented treatment to the building front.
3. Remove the shed from the rear portion of the property.
4. Install fire sprinklers.
5. Repair the parking lot drainage system
