Re:
Dear Ms. Breiling:
The Planning Division has reviewed your building permit plan submittal of August 24, 2001 for a proposed
science classroom at St. Lucy parish school. Two of the Conditions of Approval for the Site and
Architectural Review Permit have not been met. These include:
Garbage Collection: The existing freestanding dumpster in the parking lot and any additional trash
enclosures necessary to serve the new classroom shall be relocated near the back of the existing annex
building. The existing air-conditioning enclosure shall be expanded to accommodate the dumpster. The
expansion shall include the construction of a concrete floor or asphalt no less than six inches in depth
surrounded by a minimum five foot sight-obscuring wall or fence (e.g. wood or chain link with vinyl slats)
and having a gate. Although the building permit plans include a detail of the trash enclosure, please show
the location of the expansion of the air-conditioning enclosure on the site plan (you may submit an letter
size detail of this area).
Relocation of Existing Recycling/ Cargo Container in Parking Lot: The existing blue recycling/cargo
container in the parking lot to the west of the classroom shall be relocated to the parking lot accessible off
of Industrial Street. A recent site visit revealed the presence ora cargo container in the front parking lot.
No cargo containers may be located in this area since it blocks parking spaces.
If you have any questions about these conditions, please contact me at 408-866-2193 or via email

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is requesting approval of a Modification to a previously
approved Conditional Use Permit (UP 78-9) to allow the construction of a new classroom
building at St. Lucy Parish School located at 2350 Winchester Boulevard. The project site is
located on the east side of Winchester Boulevard, south of Kennedy Avenue and west of
Industrial Street. The school site is surrounded by a commercial office building, a self-serve car
wash, and residences to the north along Kennedy Avenue, auto sales/repair uses to the south,
industrial uses to the east across Industrial Street, and Campbell Plaza, a commercial shopping
center, to the west across Winchester Boulevard.
Background: On June 20, 1978, the City granted St. Lucy Church a Conditional Use Permit (UP
78-9) to construct a new parish house and conference center to support the existing parish and
school. This Use Permit covers the operation of the St. Lucy Church and Parish School. On
October 13, 1998, the Planning Commission approved a Modification (M 98-12) to the
previously approved Use Permit (UP 78-9) to allow a 4,575 square foot activity center building
and a 780 square foot office addition at St. Lucy Church.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Public/
Semi-Public. The proposed classroom will be used by the existing private school, which is a
permitted use in the Public/ Semi-Public General Plan land use designation. Therefore, the
proposed project is consistent with the General Plan.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is Public Facilities (P-F). The
proposed classroom will serve the school, which is a conditionally permitted use under the P-F
zoning ordinance. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.
Use: The proposed project entails the construction of a 1,440 square foot, one-story classroom
building. The new classroom is intended to provide additional educational space to accommodate
the science curriculum. The Science Courtyard to the south of the proposed building is planned
for use as an outdoor life sciences area with planters that will be used for educational purposes.
The school's current maximum enrollment of 320 students in grades K- 8 is not expected to
increase as a result of the new classroom.
Site Layout and Architecture: The classroom is proposed to be located at the present site of a
parking lot that is accessible off of Winchester Boulevard. The proposed building will be located
ten feet to the south of an existing office building, fifteen feet to the west of the existing primary
classroom building, and fifty feet to the north of the existing gynmasium annex building. The
classroom will be setback 154 feet from Winchester Boulevard. The two doors of the classroom
face the gymnasium annex building and open onto the Science Courtyard.
Staff Report - Planning Con'mdssion Meeting of May 22, 2001
PLN2001-37 -- 2350 Winchester Blvd -- St. Lucy Parish School Classroom
Page 3 of 4
The proposed classroom is a simple, one room building with a gabled roof and divided windows.
The east and west elevations will have large divided aluminum windows. The classroom will
have a stucco exterior, similar to the existing school buildings, a standing seam metal roof, and a
metal fascia plate.
The color scheme of the new classroom will match the existing school and parish buildings,
consisting of an eggshell white color for the stucco body of the classroom, and a chocolate brown
color for the trim. The roof will be painted to match the existing shingle roofs of the school and
parish buildings, which are a dark brown color.
Trees/Landscaping: The proposed project will provide 13.7 percent landscape coverage of the
net site area, and includes the addition of landscaping around the new classroom building. A
minimum landscaping of twelve percent of the net site area is required per the Campbell
Municipal Code Landscaping and Landscape Maintenance Ordinance. In addition, a Conditional
of Approval requires the planting of street trees on the school property behind the sidewalk along
Industrial Street to match the street trees that were planted under Modification No. M 98-12.
Parking: The proposed site plan provides a total of 249 parking spaces, which exceeds the
parking requirement for the church use per the Campbell Municipal Code Parking Ordinance and
is consistent with the previously approved Conditional Use Permit (UP 78-9) for the site that
required a total of 232 parking spaces. There is no separate parking requirement for private
schools. The church and school currently share the existing parking facilities since they have
different times of peak usage. The peak usage for the school is during the weekdays, while peak
usage of the church is on Sundays.
The proposed classroom will be used for science curriculum for students currently attending St.
Lucy Parish School and will not result in an increase in the number of students attending the
school; therefore, it is not anticipated that additional parking demand will be created by the
proposed project.
Twenty parking spaces will be removed with the construction of the new classroom building.
Due to the location of the parking area and since the amount of parking provided exceeds the
parking requirement, the removal of these parking spaces is not significant.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee
reviewed this application at its meeting of April 10, 2001, and is supportive of the project as
proposed.

The proposed new classroom for St. Lucy School is intended for the following:
Room for instruction in science for the K-8 students presently attending St. Lucy School
The building will be used during normal school hours. Since it is for instruction in science for the
students presently attending St. Lucy School, the new classroom will not increase the number of
people presently using the school nor will there be any additional automobile traffic related to the
use of this building.
This building is needed to enhance the science curriculum for the students attending St. Lucy
School.

Dear Ms. Breiling,
Sister Jolene, principal of St. Lucy School, told me that you needed a letter from me concerning
long-range plan for St. Lucy Parish and School properties.
At present, we have no plans for any further construction on either of our properties. The present
buildings that we have along with the proposed addition of a classroom for the school, will be all
that we need for the present time and for the foreseeable future. The only changes that I can see
are as follows:
The VTA, when it builds the station where the present WoolWorths Garden Center is
located, will be taking a small portion of the Southeast comer of our property. This is the
area where we presently have a storage shed. We will need to replace the storage shed
when this happens.
We are contemplating enclosing an unused porch area on the West side of the building
that has our parish hall (former church) so that we can use the area for storage of tables
and chairs.
Other than that, there are no other long or short range plans for additional buildings on our two
parcels of property.
If you need any further clarification of any of this, please feel free to contact me.
