PLN2009-08 Continued Public Hearing (from the Planning Commission Bugwadia, K. meeting of February 24, 2009) to consider the application of Mr. Kabad Bugwadia for a Conditional Use Permit (PLN2009- 08) to allow a commercial school (Tutoring Center) in an existing 1,026 square foot tenant space located within an existing retail center on property owned by Oliva and Anthony Go located at 2234 S. Bascom Avenue, in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Staff is recommending that this project be deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA. Planning Commission action final unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk within 10 calendar days. Project Planner: Steve Prosser, Associate Planner Mr. Steve Prosser, Associate Planner, presented the staff report as follows: • Advised that the applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a commercial school (Tutoring Center) at 2234 S. Bascom Avenue. The proposed use consists of math tutoring in a small group setting with no more than 10 students on site at any one time. • Described the project site as being on the east side of S. Bascom Avenue, between Shady Dale Drive and Dry Creek Way, within a multi tenant retail building that is shared by other retail uses occupied by a motor vehicle rental use, nail salon and restaurant. • Said that surrounding uses are retail to the north and south; ofFice and retail to the west; and residential to the east. • Added that the General Plan land use designation is General Commercial. This use is consistent. The zoning designation is General Commercial, which allows a commercial with issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. • Said that hours would be from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Business hours of operation, which is when employees are allowed on site to prepare for opening and to clean up after closing, are from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 3 • Explained that the parking requirement for commercial schools is 15 parking spaces for each classroom. The proposed tutoring center would have one classroom. Therefore, 15 spaces are required for this use. • Advised that parking is provided on a shared basis for all tenants on site. The site provides 20 parking spaces for its tenants. The pro-rated share for this tenant space is five spaces without credit for a shared parking arrangement. However, the Planning Commission has the authority, under the Zoning Code, to adjust the parking requirements for a specific use at a specific location when it can be determined that circumstances warrant an adjustment. • Added that staff finds that an adjustment to the requirement is warranted in this case due to the shared parking agreement between this property and the commercial property to the south. A parking analysis shows that the adjacent parcel is over parked by 5.3 spaces. Therefore, it appears that the adjacent parcel has capacity to handle overflow parking from this site. • Reminded that the anticipated class size is 10 students and two teachers, which is less than the 15 spaces required with the assumption that no more than four students would be of driving age and that a majority of the students would be dropped off and picked up. • Said that staff is recommending a condition of approval (#9) limiting the number of students of driving age on site to no more than four. Staff is also requiring an easement or covenant such as that any time that this parcel or the property to the south are sold, adequate parking is ensured to be provided for both sites (#12). • Stated that correspondence from the property owner notifying of his intention to terminate the existing auto rental use's rental agreement. The owner has advised that the auto rental use would be gone by March 31St • Said that the auto rental use appears to be the key factor in the parking deficiency. If the Planning Commission disagrees with staff's assessment on parking, staff has prepared revised findings and conditions to mitigate the parking impact. The condition would require the cessation of the auto rental use prior to the establishment of the commercial school. If an auto rental use were to be re- established on site, this Conditional Use Permit for a commercial school would become void. • Reported that there was no SARC review of this project as there were no exterior changes proposed. • Recommended that this project be deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA and that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving this Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a commercial school (tutoring center). Chair Ebner advised that he was on the project site for about one hour today. He reported that at the back there is an enclosed dumpster area that is depicted as providing three parking spaces on the site plan. That is a shortfall of three there already. He questioned why the drawings are not correct. Planner Steve Prosser: • Advised that staff asked the applicant to provide revised drawings and these are the revised drawings that still did not reflect that dumpster enclosure. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 4 Added that in the staff report it was indicated that they would have to maintain the parking spaces allotted on the site plan and originally approved for the site and requiring them to relocate that trash enclosure to a location that better suits the site. Chair Ebner added that to the extreme left, behind Hertz, depicts the dumpster area where there is currently a cargo container for storage kept there. Therefore the site is deficient four spaces from the drawing. Chair Ebner opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 1. Mr. Rudi Herz, Owner of adjacent commercial property: • Said that he is the direct neighbor to the south of this subject property. • Stated that he is very concerned about the parking in this particular instance. • Extended his apologies to the property owner and his prospective tenant for having to raise objections. • Assured that they want to be a good neighbor in all instances but he fears that moving this many cars into this small area is going to kill any good neighbor feelings that they have in that shopping center. • Reported that when he acquired this property about seven or eight years ago, there was a very bitter quarrel going on between the tenants in that particular shopping center and they all painted the park strips in different colors to indicate who was allowed to park in those spots. Merchants were running out into the parking lot yelling at customers parking in their spaces from some other venture. • Added that he does not want to see that situation coming back as it is a very uncomfortable way of doing business. He said that he is very pleased to say that that situation has turned itself around. In spite of that, there are at least half a dozen unfriendly "Parking Restricted -Tow Away" signs posted. • Said that there are a few issues from the staff report that he would like to talk about. One is the fact that although the report states there are 20 spaces to serve this site, there are only 19. The report also states that 41 spaces are required with this new business that is proposed. • Explained that the owner of this property owns two buildings, including the one that is located between his building and the subject building. That owner indicates that there are 21 spaces for that site where there are actually just 19. • Reminded that three parking spaces are being used to house the dumpster enclosure. However, if that enclosure were to be moved, one has to ask, "to where?" Parking is limited and spaces are small. • Said he has a few comments about parking. There is no street parking in this area. Cars currently park in unmarked spots in the driveway. He said that in an effort to provide parking, the merchants allow that parking or at least don't stop it. • Reported that he visited the project site twice last week, at about 1:30 p.m. on both days. On one visit he found four cars parked on the driveway in unmarked spots. On the other visit, he found five cars parked in unmarked spots on the driveway. • Said that this is an indication to him that parking is already tight and it doesn't need to be made worse. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 5 • Pointed out that the operational hours for this proposed business (between 2:30 and 7:30 p.m.) represents the heaviest times in the lot as far as parking is concerned. Many of the businesses are youth and consumer oriented and people go there after school and/or work. • Said that a less intensive parking use is needed for that retail space. • Reiterated that there are 38 parking spaces on the two properties owned by this property owner to serve seven merchants. This includes a car rental company and a sandwich shop, which are very heavy users of parking. • Asked that the Commission not allow the creation of a "Third World War" in their parking lot. Commissioner Rocha asked Mr. Rudi Herz if he were aware that the Hertz Car Rental business has been asked to vacate their tenancy within the next 30 days. Mr. Rudi Herz said that he had heard that but it has been his life experience that promises are not always kept. Commissioner Alster asked Mr. Rudi Herz if he thought that the parking situation would be livable if the car rental business were to vacate the site. Mr. Rudi Herz: • Said that this is hard to predict. • Added that before he can answer that question he would have to see them gone and the effect on the lot. • Reminded that the auto rental and sandwich shop are so heavily parked that they overflow onto the adjacent site. • Stated that it is not fair for merchants to have to chase people from parking spaces. • Reported that one of his tenants is here this evening. She was here when the problems existed about seven or eight years ago. It was a very unpleasant situation. Chair Ebner said that he was on site for a little over an hour today and saw two cars parked at each side of the entrance, which stayed parked there the entire time he was there on site. He added that there was also a car in the driveway near Subway. He asked Mr. Rudi Herz if that is a common occurrence. Mr. Rudi Herz: • Said that in his observations, every time he goes to the site there are people parked illegally in those kinds of spaces and it's tolerated, in his view, by the business owners because they want the customers. • Reported that he talked to the Subway manager and he's delighted with the traffic. He'd like more traffic. • Added that if he sold sandwiches, he'd probably want more traffic too. Chair Ebner said that he also spoke to Subway staff and he was told that the manager/owner often parks in the driveway along their building. He told Mr. Rudi Herz Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 6 that he has kind of confirmed his suspicions that this is a continuing thing. He added that he was sure the Fire Department would have a real problem if they had to pull into this entryway when there are two vehicles parked on the left and right sides. They kind of prevent that turn because they really narrow the area available for entry. Mr. Rudi Herz said that you can also understand why the merchants would not be concerned about it. It's to their advantage to have those extra parking spots. Ms. Haline Danh, Tenant of Mr. Herz, Owner of Innovations Salon: • Said that she has noticed that when Subway has its deliveries, their trucks will park right in front of their store, blocking the driveway access, or between the buildings, blocking access to or from the back. She said that sometimes deliveries take 10 to 15 minutes. Other times it can be an hour or more. • Added that this is a big problem for people parking in the back who try to come out. • Reported that she has been stuck back there a couple of times as a result. • Said that parking on the sides of the buildings is a problem as there is no room there for parking and two-direction traffic too. • Stated that she tries to be a good neighbor. She said that she does not mind when customers park in her spaces but when it is employees from other businesses parking there, that becomes a problem. • Said that when employees from other businesses park in her spaces she leaves notes on their cars. Mr. Brian Mason, Project Realtor, Colliers International: • Said that he is the broker and representative for the property owner. • Reported that he has placed a lot of tutoring and schools in their leased locations. • Said that there is a classification situation in Campbell. • Explained that both San Jose and Sunnyvale do a lot of these types of educational centers and call them "personal enrichment" businesses. They are not commercial schools. • Added that parking ratios vary city by city. • Said that this type of use typically needs one parking space for every three to four students plus one for every staff member. • Said that there is a misconception on requirements and these uses usually do not create a big impact. • Advised that he was the one who gave Hertz notice. • Assured that Hertz will not be staying past 30 days. If they do, they will be sued and it will be a holdover tenancy. • Stated that he spoke with their attorney in Pennsylvania. Hertz tried to negotiate a deal but due to the parking, he was not willing. • Said that heavy use hours for Subway are between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and later for the evening eating hours. • Pointed out that with Hertz gone, their 13 to 15 spaces would be available for use. The temporary storage container belongs to Hertz and will also be gone. • Said that he believes the parking ratio for this use is wrong and said that he thinks that there are enough parking spaces here for the uses when Hertz leaves. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 7 • Said that the Hertz Conditional Use Permit allowed them to have 12 cars but they usually had more than 12, especially when counting their own employees. • Stated that the change of this center is going to be positive for the neighbors as well as for this center. • Said that he can't speak to the issue of deliveries but it is pretty common to park in driveways to make deliveries. • Said that with just four weekdays and one weekend day per week of operation, this use would be compatible. Dr. Kobad Bugwadia, Applicant: • Thanked Planner Steve Prosser and the Planning Commission. • Said that his reason for starting this tutoring center is his passion for teaching and education. • Reported that he is on the faculty at Santa Clara University in the Math and Computer Science Department. He also has taught at Rutgers University and at community colleges. • Said that he knows first hand, as the father of two elementary school aged children, the challenges that today's students face in science, math and technology. • Said that this tutoring center, Mathnasium, is a very well-known franchise. They are all over the country and internationally in 15 countries. • Added that they have very strict regulations including ratios between instructors and students and in terms of how the tutoring centers are operated. • Said that his plan is to operate as a supplemental learning center in math. • Assured that they are different from a commercial school. Their hours are after school, Monday through Thursday, from 3 to 7 p.m. and on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Students are predominately of non-driving age as they are in grades 2 to 8. They will be dropped off and picked up by parents. • Said that students come only twice a week and will be there for about an hour. It is not a commercial school where everyone starts at the same time and ends at the same time. They will be staggered and coming at different intervals. They have customized workbooks that they will be following at their own pace. There will be a small play area to allow flexibility for parents to pick them up a little later or drop them off a little early as well. • Stated that the businesses on the two sites owned by this same owner include one that operates between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. only. Another is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A third is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. That would be just an hour overlap from his start time of 3 p.m. • Thanked the Commission for its time and said that he has waited two months for this day. He said he looks forward to starting and serving the community of Campbell. Chair Ebner closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 1. Commissioner Gibbons: • Pointed out that shared parking has come up often. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 8 • Said that she is trying not to be arbitrary but didn't have facts to come up with a consistent answer. • Stated that historically, the Commission has not allowed shared parking across property lines. • Reported that she did some Google research on the concept of shared parking. • Provided a definition of shared parking and the need to evaluate how hours of operation and overlap impact it. How does the scale of shared parking work? Is it 10 spaces shared or 100 spaces shared? What's the mix? Is it residential and commercial, etc.? What kind of agreement and enforcement is there? Are there different parcels. • Said that there are assumptions here about pick up and drop of, which she thinks are particularly relevant. There are assumptions about existing leases on the adjoining parcel, which assumes that they have 7 spaces each and operational hours that we (the Commission) have no authority over. There is the issue of deliveries. • Reported that the Boston Metropolitan Planning Council defines shared parking as a parking facility that serves multiple destinations. That's a very important statement -- it serves multiple destinations. This requires multiple destinations within walking distance of the same parking facility. It is most effective when those destinations are sharing patrons so that a person parking once will visit multiple destinations and have different periods when parking demand is highest. • Said that this description really helped her focus her thoughts going forward. What it says to her is that the purpose of shared parking is not simply to say that when your demand is for 20 and you only have 15, you can share. Shared parking is to facilitate parking once and going to multiple destinations. That's a very different concept than what we've had. That made a lot of sense to her. • Continued that there is a lot of information in here that talks about the major considerations -site concerns, liability, location, maintenance, parking overflow, etc. • Said that one of the solutions for parking overflow is street parking but there is non available here. • Added that safety and the perception of safety is an issue. There are no sidewalks up against those buildings. There's no place to pull off on the street or on the property for drop off, waiting or pick up so they could have a problem with that as has been the case at other locations. • Stated that enforcement is a big comment. It is known that there has been difficulty enforcing the problems with the Hertz rental business as it is. There have been problems with the shared driveway issue and signage, issues raised by Mr. Herz. • Said that there is analysis in there that talks about hours and shows the overlap of hours. She said that she did not think that the applicant's analysis of hours overlap is valid. She said that she thinks the businesses clearly overlap in hours. The issue is the scale of the mix of uses. • Said that she tried to understand by taking the chart provided by staff. The original building had one store with parking for every 200 square feet. Even if the parking is reduced down to 32 or 33 spaces for the current site, when you put the demand for the school in there that demand is more than 60 percent of its share. It distorts Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 9 the count on the site from somewhere between 32 and 38 spaces by saying that they are over parked by 13 spaces even without Hertz going away. • Stated that there is no way to add up these numbers and come up with a justification. There needs to be a mix and not similar uses. Some of these uses can change with just a business license. A Use Permit goes with the property not the applicant. • Reiterated that the assumption of drop off versus drivers is flawed. She added that there is space available inside for parents to wait. By their own design they are anticipating additional people. • Said that if this Use Permit is to be approved, the Commission would have to decommission the car rental use that runs with the property. • Reminded that the site landscaping is minimal and the owner never implemented the requirements imposed eight years ago. • Stated that the proposed use is inconsistent with this site. • Assured that it is a great idea and she'd love to have this tutoring center but can't justify it in this space with shared parking across property lines, which has typically not been allowed. Commissioner Alster: • Said that with the departure of Hertz there are 15 spaces freed. • Expressed agreement with Commissioner Gibbons that the Hertz parking would have to be reconsidered. • Stated her concern over the parking that occurs in the driveway due to fire safety impacts. That is a big concern. • Said that she is assuming that those Hertz spaces can be reallocated. • Suggested that to facilitate the drop off of the students at this school, perhaps some designated spaces can be created for 10 minute parking. • Asked if the City or the property owner would be responsible for parking enforcement. Interim Director Ciddy Wordell said that the driveway likely could be striped for fire access and thereafter be enforced. Commissioner Alster said that she would like to see "No Parking" signs in that fire lane. Chair Ebner: • Reminded that he went on site today and could not find 15 spaces for Hertz. There were six spaces parallel to where they're proposing the new landscaping. There were three spaces to the extreme left near the dumpster. That is only 9. • Added that he spoke with the manager for Hertz who said those were the only parking spaces for Hertz. • Asked where the 15 spaces delegated to Hertz are located. Commissioner Rocha: • Said he wanted to make a couple of points on the subject of shared parking. • Said that his company has done shared parking studies on sites they manage. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 10 Pointed out that this is not amixed-use development. Reported that he did some research on fire lane markings. In order to have Campbell Police enforce a fire lane, Fire would have to designate a fire hazard and order red striping to mark an area off as a fire lane. If so marked as a fire lane, Campbell Police could cite an improperly parked car when called. Said that he does not think that this is an ideal situation. Commissioner Gibbons clarified that when she speaks of enforceability she is referring to the enforcement of Conditions of Approval for a site and not for the parking that occurs there. Commissioner Gairaud: • Said that the first thing that came to mind as he reviewed the conditions of approval as that this could really become a nightmare for the Planning Department. • Added that it appears that staff has bent over backwards to try to make this workable. • Stated that he would love to see this use come to this center if not for the problems already existing there. • Questioned, "Is the dog wagging the tail or is the tail wagging the dog?" • Concluded that in this case, unfortunately, he does not think this works until they can get a better cohesion of tenants. It's just not there right now. Chair Ebner: • Said that he too thinks this use would be wonderful. He has no problem with higher education. • Added that this tutoring center is a great idea and he would love to see it here in Campbell but there are problems here that are really going to hinder that. • Advised that it is hard to back out of the parking spaces located at the back as the building is so close to those spaces. • Reported that there are a couple of old safes being store in the back that also take up parking spaces. • Said that as there are on-going problems he will not support this project until things get figured out. • Reiterated that he would love to see this school come to Campbell absolutely. City Attorney William Seligmann provided modifications to the draft findings to address a denial of this application. Motion: Upon motion of Commissioner Gairaud, seconded by Commissioner Rocha, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3939 denying a Conditional Use Permit (PLN2009-08) to allow a commercial school (Tutoring Center) in an existing 1,026 square foot tenant space located within an existing retail center on property owned by Oliva and Anthony Go located at 2234 S. Bascom Avenue, by the following roll call vote: AYES: Alster, Ebner, Gairaud, Gibbons and Rocha Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 11 NOES: None ABSENT: Alderete and Roseberry ABSTAIN: None Chair Ebner advised that this action is final unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk within 10 calendar days. *** Chair Ebner read Agenda Item No. 2 into the record as follows: 2. PLN2009-25 Public Hearing to consider the application of Ms. Tamara L. Diaz, T. Diaz, D.C., for a Conditional Use Permit (PLN2009-25) to allow the establishment of a medical (Chiropractic) office use in an existing office space on property owned by Ross-Green Valley II located at 268 E. Hamilton Avenue, Unit F, in a C- 2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Staff is recommending that this project be deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA. Planning Commission action final unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk within 10 calendar days. Project Planner: Stephen Rose, Planning Intern Mr. Stephen Rose, Planning Intern, presented the staff report as follows: • Described the project site as being located on the south side of E. Hamilton Avenue, between Third Street and N. Central Avenue. Surrounding uses are commercial to the north, east and west and residential to the south. • Explained that the C-2 (General Commercial) Zoning allows establishment of a medical use with issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. • Said that the project site consists of 4.49 acres and building coverage of 55,909 square feet. The proposed tenant space is 730 square feet or 1.3 percent of the building area. • Stated that there are 184 parking spaces to serve the site. The pro-rated share of the parking for this proposed tenant space is three spaces while the required parking standard is four spaces. • Advised that the Planning Commission has the authority to adjust parking if it can determine that such an adjustment is warranted. • Said that this use would consist of one full-time chiropractor who will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Business hours would be between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. daily. • Recommended approval. Commissioner Gibbons asked for clarification on how many parking spaces are actually on site. Planner Stephen Rose replied nine spaces less than 193 or 184 spaces. He explained that these nine spaces actually serve as access to the ADA (or handicapped) parking spaces. Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for March 10, 2009 Page 12 Commissioner Gibbons pointed out that the parking ratio for medical (1 per 200 square feet) is smaller than the ratio for office uses (1 per 225 square feet). If all entire site were to transition to medical uses, they would need more parking. If the site were all office use the parking necessary would be 221 spaces and the number would go up by 15 spaces (236) if the uses were all medical. Planner Stephen Rose said that the parking need would go up by 60 if all the uses on site were medical. Interim Director Ciddy Wordell pointed out that this would be controlled by the requirement for Use Permits for any change of use to medical on site. Commissioner Gibbons agreed that it could not just happen. Chair Ebner opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 2. Chair Ebner closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 2. Commissioner Rocha: • Said that this is a different situation than the previous application. • Added that he doubted that Barry Swenson would convert this entire site into medical uses. • Pointed out that a chiropractor does not create the same parking issues as they would have just one or two people on site at a time. • Said that he has no problems and will support this request. Commissioner Gibbons: • Said that she is also okay. • Said that she wanted to tie this in to her previous comments to be consistent. • Added that 184 spaces is a lot of spaces. • Said that she has no problem with this one. • Said that if the uses on site change to include more medical uses, those requests would come to the Planning Commission for Conditional Use Permits. City Attorney William Seligmann advised that Swenson connection to this project site, he r outstanding fee issue. He left the chambers. having just become aware of the Barry lust recuse himself because he has an Motion: Upon motion of Commissioner Rocha, seconded by Commissioner Alster, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 3940 granting a Conditional Use Permit (PLN2009-25) to allow the establishment of a medical (Chiropractic) office use in an existing office space on property owned by Ross-Green Valley II located at 268 E.
