Amer Ed Learning Center - 2005June 8, 2005 Orner Uyuklu, Ph. D. Director of Education California College of Communication 700 W. Hamilton Avenue, Suite 210 Campbell, CA 95008 Re: 700 West Hamilton Avenue, Suite 200 American Ed Learning Center Dear Mr. Uyuklu: It has come to the attention of the Planning Division that you may have expanded your occupancy of the building at 700 West Hamilton Avenue into another suite that offers education services to a younger age group than described in the school use approved by the Planning Commission in 1996. This expansion and change of use would require approval of a Modification to the prior Conditional Use Permit. Prior to the formal submittal of such an application it is recommended that you process the enclosed Pre- Application. This recommendation is to facilitate a building occupancy determination regarding your proposed school and the implication ofthis occupancy from a Building Code standpoint. I can be reached at (408) 866-2144 or via ernail at timhial,citvofcampbell.com if you have any questions. \~ Tim Haley Associate Planner Encl: Pre-Application cc: GeoffBradley, Senior Planner Chris Veargason, Deputy Fire Marshall II Bill Bruckart, Building Official 70 North First Street Campbell.

After notification and Public Hearing as specified by law to approve a Conditional Use Permit, and after presentation by the Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the hearing was closed.

Commercial schools are permitted in a C-2-S Zoning District subject to the approval of a Use Permit. 2. The proposed school will occupy 2,923 square feet of an existing 56,500 square foot building (5% of the building area). 3. The proposed school is a compatible use within the existing commercial office building and the surrounding neighborhood. 4. The establishment of the proposed school will not entail exterior modifications to the building or site. Based upon the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission concludes that: 1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the City's zoning ordinance. 2. The proposed project, as conditioned, will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate area; and 3. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City.

Veargason@cnt.sccgov.org Tuesday, May 31,20052:20 PM Tim Haley: Bill Bruckart American Ed Learning Center 700 West Hamilton Avenue Suite 200 Tim, The existence of the American Ed Learning Center came to the attention of County Fire during routine inspections of the Professional Culinary Institute. We observed some signs and inquired about the use informally. I was instructed by my supervisor to refer the matter to the Building Official for classification of the use based on the Building Code. It was the opinion of Bill Bruckart that the occupancy as described could best be classified as a Group E, Division 2 occupancy. It seems that Dr.Uyuklu has expanded his use to include suite 200 without obtaining a use permit. Suite 210 is the California College of Communications for which their is a valid use permit. It was decided that a Community Development letter would be sent to Dr. Uyuklu asking him to confirm in writing his intended uses of the building. This would be handled at the preapplication stage so the review could be done with minimal cost to the applicant. Hope this is enough information for you to send out the first letter Tim.
