Re:
Timing of Screen Wall Modifications
3245 S. Winchester Blvd.
Dear Mr. Smith:
The Planning Division has received a complaint regarding the unsightly condition of your rear yard. In an
effort to screen the construction site, it is recommended that your modification to the rear wall be advanced
early in the construction process. As an alternative, the temporary placement of some green consUuction
fencing may help screen the construction activity.
Your efforts in advancing a cooperative position would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

DISCUSSION
Applicant's Proposal: The applicant, James Smith, is requesting approval of a modification to a
previous use permit to allow the remodel of a single story wood frame structure on the project
site. The project site is located on the west side of South Winchester Blvd. just south of its
intersection with Chapman.
Background: The Planning Commission in 1981 approved a conditional use permit to allow the
conversion of the single family residence on the project site into a daycare center. This
commercial structure has more recently been used as a residence and the applicant at this time is
requesting approval of a modification to the previous use permit to allow the remodel of this
structure into a commercial use as an upholstery cleaning supply business.
ANALYSIS
General Plan Designation: The General Plan land use designation for the project site is
commercial. A cleaning supply business is consistent with this designation.
Zoning Designation: The zoning designation for the project site is C-2-S (General Commercial).
The proposed use is considered a permitted use within this zone and the conversion of the
residence to an office or commercial use requires a conditional use permit under section
21.22.030(H) within a C-2-S zone.
Lot layout: The existing structure is approximately 1600 square feet in area and is situated
towards the center of the parcel. The applicant is proposing a building addition towards the street
frontage providing a 400 square foot display area and a 200 square foot addition towards the rear
accommodating a warehousing receiving area. The primary parking area is accommodated to the
rear of the building and is accessed via a driveway along the north side of the property.
Building elevations and remodel: The applicant is proposing to remodel the existing structure to
accommodate the requested commercial use. The remodel entails removing the existing roof
structure and providing a parapet wall along the perimeter of the structure. The building entrance
and street frontage of the building will be accentuated by the installation of a blue seamed metal
roof canopy (Mediterranean blue) and the walls are shown as a stucco material (Blue haze).
Store front window system has been proposed adjacent to the display area that is located along
the street frontage.
Parking: The site plan indicates the provision of 11 parking spaces to service the proposed
commercial use or a parking ratio of 1:200. This satisfies the parking requirement for the
proposed use.

Page 3
Landscaping & Tree Removal: The applicant has submitted a landscape plan indicating that
approximately 16 percent of the site will be landscaped. A site zoned General Commercial
requires a minimum landscaping percentage of 10 percent. Staff is recommending that the rear
landscape area adjacent to the single family residential use be increased by 2 feet to provide a
more significant buffer to the adjacent residential use. This may be accomplished without
impacting the parking area in that a parking overhang of 2 feet is permitted for parking stalls.
The landscaping plan indicates the removal of a large walnut tree adjacent to the building
entrance. To mitigate this tree, removal staff is recommending that all trees proposed with the
landscaping plan be a minimum 24 inch box size. Additionally, the landscaping plan should be
amended to reflect trees along the southerly and westerly property lines. Staff is recommending
that the trees along the westerly property line should be planted 10 to 12 feet on center and be an
evergreen character for screening purposes. Staff has recommending that these items be
addressed through the submittal of a landscaping plan per Condition No. 6 of this approval.
Masonry Wall: The site plan illustrates a 5.5 foot block wall along the western property line. The
zoning ordinance requires the provision of a 6 foot wall between commercial and residential
uses. Consequently, staff is recommending that this wall be increased in height to provide a
minimum 6 foot screen wall from the commercial side. In the event the elevation of the
commercial site is increased to accommodate the parking area, the masonry wall should be
increased accordingly to a maximum height of 8 feet.
Trash Enclosure: Staff is recommending that the applicant provide details of the proposed trash
enclosure and that the enclosure area be sized to accommodate both disposal and recycling needs
of the retail use. This area should be accommodated adjacent to the receiving/warehousing area.
Site and Architectural Review Committee: The Site and Architectural Review Committee review
this project at its meeting of May 23, 2000 and is supporting its approval.

existing building on property located at 3245 S. Winchester Blvd.
The Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to File No. PLN 2000-44.
1. The proposed building design and site layout are consistent with the commercial land use
of the General Plan and the (C-2-S) General Commercial designation for the site. The

a) Provides an attractive architectural elevation of the building towards the street frontage
b) Accommodates driveways and parking circulation to serves the proposed use consistent
with the parking standards of the City.
c) Creates an architecturally pleasing project reflective of the other approved commercial
buildings along this portion of Winchester Blvd.
2. The proposed circulation accommodates the parking and access needs of the proposed use.
3. The proposed project design addresses the site planning issues of the building placement
near the street frontage and provides a buffer to the residential use to the rear.

6. The project will not create a nuisance due to noise, litter, vandalism, traffic or other factors.
7. The project will not significantly disturb the peace and enjoyment of the nearby residential
neighborhood.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
1. The proposed project will aid in the enhancement and the harmonious development of the
immediate area. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the uses will be
detrimental to the public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort or general welfare of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use.
2. The proposed site layout provides a desirable site layout for a commercial use along this
portion of Winchester Blvd.
3. The project is adequately served by streets of sufficient capacity to carry the kind and
quantity of traffic such uses would generate.

Re: Proposed Retail Building
3245 S. Winchester Blvd.
Dear Mr. Smith:
Thank you for your submittal dated, February 16, 1999, wherein you propose the
conversion of the existing residence and a commercial addition on the reference property.
Approval of a project will require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Site and
Architectural application.
The conversion of a residential use to a commercial use raises a number of issues that have
not been addressed in your submittal.
The proposed addition provides a positive element to the proposed conversion. This
addition provides a commercial appearance to the project and provides a building form
closer to the street.
Concerned that are raised regarding the latest proposal are as follows:
1. Large vehicle access. Your previous application at this site for a cleaning Supply
business proposed an open parking area along the street frontage to accommodate the larger
vehicles you anticipated with your supply business. An easily accessible driveway has not
been provided with this site plan. If a similar use is proposed, it would be desirable to
accommodate the loading and unloading needs of the proposed commercial use.
2. The commercial appearance of the structure should be carded to all four elevations of
the structure.
3. The arched disabled access area appears awkward.
4. The storefront system at the building is not reflected on the site plan.
5. The previous conversions of residential structures into commercial operations have
required significant modifications to the buildings to address functional as well as the
visual needs of the remodeled use.

6. It would be anticipated that a masonry type of wall would be required along the rear
property line to buffer the adjacent residential use.
Generally, the conversion of a residential building into retail use presents a number of
design problems. The City in reviewing such request wishes to maintain the high quality of
commercial buildings on its image streets. The visibility of the building entrance, the
storefront appeal of the building, and the loading and unloading needs are all essential
components of a commercial building's design that need to be accommodated. The current
proposal provides a more positive design solution than merely converting the existing
residence.
It would be helpful to set up a meeting to go over these comments and to review various
comments and conditions from commenting departments, please give me a call at your
convenience. I may be reached at (408) 866-2144.

Re: Proposed Retail Building

Dear Mr. Smith:
Thank you for your submittal dated, December 17, 1999, wherein you propose the
conversion of the existing residence on the reference property into a retail commercial use.
Approval of a project will require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Site and
Architectural application.
The conversion of a residential use to a commercial use raises a number of issues that have
not been addressed in your submittal. These concerns are summarized as follows:
1. Large vehicle access. Your previous application at this site for a cleaning supply

vehicles you anticipated with your supply business. An easily accessible driveway has not
been provided with this site plan. If a similar use is proposed, it would be desirable to
accommodate the loading and unloading needs of the proposed commercial use.
2. The conversion of a residential use into a commercial use requires that the structure
be modified to comply with Building code occupancies for a commercial building. This
requirement would imply the upgrading of structural, mechanical and electrical systems as
well as making the building and restrooms accessible to the disabled.
3. The previous conversions of residential structures into commercial operations have
required significant modifications to the buildings to address functional as well as the
visual needs of the remodeled use. The current proposal does not address the visual and
functional needs of a retail building.
4. The conversion of garages into commercial parking facilities has previously led to the
use of such buildings as storage facilities rather than parking facilities. Limitations will be
placed on this structure to insure appropriate usage of this building
5. It would be anticipated that a masonry type of wall would be required along the rear
property line to buffer the adjacent residential use.

retention of mature on-site trees.
