Commissioner Christ reported that this application was before the Site and __
Architectural Review Committee this morning, at which time the concerns
expressed in the Staff Report were reviewed with the applicant. The
Committee is recommending a continuance with the applicant's concurrence.
Planning Director Ree indicated that Staff is in agreement with this
recommendation for continuance.
M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That MM 86-29 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of February
10, 1987 in order that the applicant
might address concerns expressed by
Staff and the Site Committee: Motion

PIIBLIC HEARINGS
S 86-23 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Marahrens, H: tion of Mr. Henning Marahrens to allow
the construction of a single family
residence on property known as 1256
Audrey Ave. in an R-1-10 (Single Family
Residential} Zoning District.
Commissioner Christ reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. The design is exceptional, and
the Committee is recommending approval.
Planning Director Ree noted that this item is before the Commission, in
accord with Council policy, because it is in the San Tomas Area. Staff is
also recommending approval.
Commissioner Rasolas asked if this application were anywhere else in the
City, other than the San Tomas Area, would it have to come before the
Planning Commission] and, in having to be considered by the Commission, is
the applicant placed under any additional burdens in the form of fees or
length of time for application processes.
Mr. Ree responded that the applicant is subject to the normal three week
application process time, as well as the standard $500 fee for site
approval applications.
Commissioner Dickson asked if this procedure is required because the
property is in the San Tomas Area, or because the property is zoned
R-1-10.
Mr. Ree noted that the San Tomas Area is the only area in the City where
there are lot sizes in the R-1-10 category. There were specific concerns
expressed in the San Tomas hearings relating to development in the area,
and requests to notify residents in that area regarding development.
-3-
Chairman Perrine opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
M/S: Kasolas, Dickson - That the public hearing on S 86-23 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0)
M/S: Kasolas, Dickson - That the Planning Commission adopt
findings, attached hereto, and approve S
86-23, subject to conditions as
indicated in Staff Report dated January
13, 1987. Motion carried with the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Stanton, Olszewski, Christ,
Dickson, Perrine
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
Commissioner Kasolas stated, for the record, that proposals such as
S 86-23 are very bold and certainly something the City wants to encourage,
and should encourage -- not discourage by adding additional burdens. He
continued that this application points out that the San Tomas Policy may
have been appropriate at the time, but now it's time to do something to
encourage development in the area. If this applicant had wanted to build
his house anywhere else in this city, he would not have had to come before
the Planning Commission. Commissioner Kasolas concluded that this
procedure only hinders development of growth.
S 86-22 Continued public hearing to consider the
MM 86-26 application of Warren Jacobsen
Jacobsen, W. Associates for a modification
to an existing Use Permit (UP 81-11) and
approval of plans to allow a two-story
addition to an existing church (The Home
Church) on property known as 1711 S.
Winchester Blvd. in a C-2-S (General
Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Christ reported that the Site and Architectural Review
Committee is recommending a continuance of this item in that revised plans
have not been received.
Planning Director Ree stated that Staff is also recommending a continuance
to February 10, 1987.
A communication from Relly, Leal & Davilla relating to this item was
received at the Planning Commission meeting, is attached hereto as part of
the record, and will be included in the Staff Report for the next meeting.
-4-
Chairman Perrine opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Walt Landers, owner of Lead Penny Air Brush, stated that the merchants
in the Campbell Center have seen a growing activity with the church over
the past few years which is already becoming restrictive on the rest of
the businesses in center: Mr: Landers presented pictures of the parking
lot taken on a Sunday, noting that none of the spaces were taken up with
shoppers, but rather church goers who even park directly in front of
businesses: Responding to questions from Commissioner Rasolas regarding
the fleamarket held at the center, Mr: Landers indicated that the event is
held one Saturday each month; and, proceeds from this event are earmarked
for repaving and landscaping the parking area.
M/S: Rasolas, Christ - That the public hearing on S 86-22 be
continued to the Planning Commission
meeting of February 10, 1987: Motion
carried unanimously (6-0-0).
ZC 86-14 Continued public hearing to consider the
K-Land Construction application of Mr. Ramil Navai, on
behalf of R-Land Construction, Inc., for
a zone change from R-M-S (Multiple
Family Residential) to PD (Planned
Development), and approval of a Planned
Development Permit, plans, elevations,
and development schedule to allow the
construction of 6 townhomes on property
known as 134 Shelley Ave.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee: The Committee is recommending approval,
with the minor redlining indicating the bomanite color as red.
Planning Director Kee indicated that Staff is also recommending approval
subject to conditions indicated in the Staff Report-.
Chairman Perrine opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
M/S: Olszewski, Christ - That the public hearing on ZC 86-14 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0} .
M/S: Rasolas, Olszewski - That the Planning Commission recommend
that the City Council accept the
Negative Declaration which has been
prepared for this project= and, that the
Planning Commission adopt a Resolution
recommending that the City Council `
approve a zone change from R-M-S to PD;
-5-
and, that the Planning Commission adopt
a Resolution recommending that the City
Council approve a Planned Development
Permit for ZC 86-14, subject to
conditions as indicated in the Staff
Report dated January 13, 1987.
Discussion on motion
Commissioner Dickson stated that this application is going from R-M-S to
PD; and, under the R-M-S it would require 18,000 sq.ft. for this
development. This appears to be an undersized lot with maximum density,
with no usable open space - thereby putting pressure on the City for
additional parkland and neighborhood usage. Additionally, the design
provides for a long, narrow driveway. Commissioner Dickson stated that he
would be opposing the motion in that this is, in his opinion, an improper
use of the PD District.
Vote on motion
AYES: Commissioners: Rasolas, Stanton, Olszewski, Christ,
Perrine
NOES: Commissionerss Dickson
ABSENTS Commissionerss None.
PD 86-02 Continued public hearing to consider the
Anderson, R. application of Mr. Rurt Anderson for a
Planned Development Permit and approval
of plans, elevations and development
schedule to allow the construction of a
duplex on property known as 274 Everett
Ave. in a PD (Planned Development/Medium
Density Residential) Zoning District.
Planning Director Kee reported that Staff is recommending a continuance to
January 27, 1987, at the applicant's request.
Brief discussion ensued regarding the length of time this application has
been before the Commission= the extent of revisions to the plans being
required] and, the suggested date for continuance.
Mr. Ree noted that this would be the last continuance which Staff could
support.
Commissioner Stanton suggested that Staff apprise the applicant that this
would be the last continuance which Staff could support.
Chairman Perrine opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
-6-
M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the public hearing on PD 86-02 be
continued to the Planning Commission
meeting of February 10, 1987] and, that
the Staff communicate with the applicant
as to his intentions; Motion carried
unanimously (6-0-0);
w
UP 86-17 Public hearing to consider the
Sando, M. application of Mr~; Michael Sando for a
nse permit to allow the construction of
a screen room addition to an existing
apartment unit on property known as 2055
S; Winchester in a C-3-S (Central
Business District) Zoning District.
Planning Director Kee noted that Staff's recommendation is different from
the recommendation indicated in the Staff Report. It is Staff's
understanding that this is a valid application and the Commission could
take action on it. The issue before the Commission is the expansion of a
residential unit and provided parking. Staff would, at this time,
recommend a continuance to the next meeting in order that Staff might
present a more complete report.
Commissioner Dickson noted that this request is to enlarge a
non-conforming residential unit in a commercial district. He asked Staff
to find out if there have been any complaints regarding a lack of parking
in this area.
Commissioner Rasolas thought that the parking on this lot was unimproved;
and, he felt that there should be some consistency with the parking
regulations throughout the community.
Chairman Perrine opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
M/S: Rasolas, Stanton - That the public hearing on IIP 87-17 be
continued to the meeting of February 10,
1987. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0) .
MISCELLANEOIIS
MM 86-27 Application of Mr. Adron Fulk for
Fulk, A. approval of a modification to approved
building usage from manufacturing/
warehousing to automotive repair for a
portion of an existing industrial ___
building located on property known as
1436 Whiteoaks Rd. in an M-1-S (Light.
Industrial) Zoning District.
-7-
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was before the Site and
Architectural Review Committee: Staff and the Committee had some
difficulties because the plans did not adequately spell out what exists on
the site, therfore making it difficult to calculate the parking
- requirements: It was noted to the applicant that the approved parking for
this building was based on a manufacturing ratio -- not auto-related
uses. The Committee is recommending a continuance in order that the
applicant can meet with his architect for clarification:
Commissioner Kasolas complimented Staff on the clarity of its report,
noting the complexities of this building's usages:
M/Ss Kasolas, Christ - That MM 86-27 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of January
27, 1987: Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0)
MM 86-28 Application of Mr. Douglas Metz, on
Metz, D. behalf of Campbell Foot Health Center,
to permit the usage of 950 sq.ft. of
area previously designated as general
office for a medical office for two
doctors in an existing office building
located on property known as 2959 S.
Winchester Blvd-. in a C-2-S (General
Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. There was considerable discussion
regarding the actual requirements of the two doctors who will share this
office, as well as discussion of the landlord's commitment to monitor the
parking situation. The Committee added a condition requiring the property
owner to provide an agreement to monitor the parking situation, and the
property owner's representative, Mr: Steve Evarkiou, concurred with this
condition; therefore, approval is recommended:
Planning Director Ree stated that Staff would not be opposed to
recommending approval for the change of usage, with the condition as
indicated by the Site Committee; Mr. Ree noted that the proposed use
appears to be deficient two parking spaces:
Discussion ensued regarding the enforcibility of the proposed Condition #3
"The Planning Commission's approval of this use is not transferrable to
another medical office use at this location."
-8-
M/S: Kasolas, Dickson - That the Planning Commission adopt the
following finding: (1) The provided
parking of 4:2 spaces is sufficient for
the proposed use; and, that the. Planning
Commission approve MM 86-28, subject to
the following conditions: (1)
Applicant to provide an agreement,
satisfactory to the City Attorney, that
the maximum number of employees at this
facility will be 2 (1 doctor and 1
employee); (2) Applicant to obtain all
necessary building permits; (3)
Property owner to provide an agreement,
satisfactory to the City Attorney,
indicating a commitment to monitor the
parking usage at this location and to
allow the Planning Commission the
ability to change the approved building
usage, if the proposed medical office
use causes a parking problem in the
opinion of the Planning Director, and
not transferring this approval to
another medical office use at this
location. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-0) .
,~
Request (1) Request of Mr. Dean Westly to have _
Westly, D. the Planning Commission add "auto
Topping, J. tinting and polishing" as an allowed use
in the CM (Controlled Manufacturing)
Zoning District; and, (2) The request
of Mr. Jay Topping to have the Planning
Commission add "auto painting" as an
allowed use in the CM (Controlled
Manufacturing) Zoning District.
Planner II Woodworth reported that in the past, the City has not allowed
auto-related type businesses in the CM Zoning District. However, Staff is
of the opinion that certain types of auto-related businesses, such as the
ones before the Commission this evening, may be compatible with the
district: Consequently, Staff is recommending that the Planning
Commission add the two uses to the CM District with the approval of a Use
Permit.
Commissioner Dickson noted that auto uses should be clean operations which
benefitted both the community and people bringing business into the city.
Commissioner Kasolas stated that he would assume inclusion of these uses
in the CM District would not require the City to accept them= therefore,
what is the cause and effect of allowing this.
-9-
Commissioner Dickson indicated that adding this use as allowable in this
district would .mean that these uses discussed this evening would have to
come back through the Commission with a Use Permit application.
Mr. Kee noted that to approve a Use Permit, there must be a finding that
the use is compatible on a particular piece of property: The decision
still rests with the Planning Commission:
Commissioner Olszewski asked if the Commission needed to make findings
that the use is not compatible:
City Attorney Seligmann stated that it is the burden of the applicant to
prove compatibility:
Commissioner Kasolas asked the City Attorney if the City could be found
arbitrary and capricious if this use was allowed through a Use Permit
provision, and you find consistently that you never would allow one, would
you then be forced to issue Use Permits? Commissioner Kasolas felt that
the real issue here is do you, or do you not, want to have additional
areas for auto-related uses= and he concluded that, in his opinion, we
have a sufficient amount of areas for auto-related uses:
Mr. Seligmann responded that this could be correct depending on the
factual scenario of each case. Essentially, if there were good factual
grounds for denial under the ordinance, then there would not be a problem
with being arbitrary and capricious. On the other hand, if it was simply
denied on the basis that you can't conceive of any grounds in a controlled
manufacturing zone that would allow for this kind of use, then certainly,
it would be arbitrary and capricious, and you shouldn't approve the
possibility of granting a Use Permit under those conditions.

Request Request of Mr. Joe Testa for approval of
Testa, J, a two foot lattice extension to an
existing six foot fence on property
known as 830 Virginia Ct: in an R-1
(Single Family Residential) Zoning
District:
-10-
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee: The Committee felt that there was
justification from both property owners, and that it might be best at this
point to see if the applicant and his neighbor could get together to come
up with a solution: Therefore, a continuance is being recommended, with
the applicant's concurrence:
Planning Director Ree stated that Staff is in agreement with the
recommendation for a continuance:
Commissioner Christ continued that Mr: Testa indicated at the Site
Committee meeting that he was willing to meet with Mr: Munniks to try to
resolve the issue to their mutual satisfaction: Mr~: Testa also noted that
he would be agreeable to replacing the lattice in the subject area with
landscaping, if Mr: Munniks found that more acceptable: Commissioner
Christ asked Mr. Munniks if he would be willing to meet with Mr: Testa to
work out a compromise:
Mr. Karl Munniks, 820 Virginia Ct~:, stated that he really objects to the
fence extension. Mr: Munniks continued that the letters from the rear
property owners should be disqualified in that they are 15-20 feet from
the fence, and he is 5 feet from the fence: His real objection is to the
lattice extension, in that he felt it was like bars. Mr. Munniks noted
that he would prefer greenery, and that he would be willing to work with
Mr. Testa] however, previous attempts to resolve issues have resulted in
police action.
M/S: Kasolas, Christ - That this request for a fence extension
be continued to the Planning Commission _
meeting of February 10, 1987 in order
that the applicant may try to resolve
the matter with his neighbor. Motion
carried unanimously (6-0-0)•:

Griffon Computers 412 E: Campbell Ave. - Interim (Planned
DeveloFxnent) Zoning District:
Commissioner Christ 'reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. The issue is a modification to an
existing non-conforming sign: The applicant indicated that he was unaware
of what would be allowable in his circumstances] therefore, the Committee
is recommending a continuance in order that the applicant can meet with
Staff to determine what is allowable on the site.
Planning Director Kee stated that Staff is in concurrence with the
recommendation for continuance.
M/S: Kasolas, Christ - That SA 86-69 be continued to the _
Planning Commission meeting of February ~,

Re: OBJECTION OF MR. AND MRS. LABRADOR TO APPLICATION
OF WARREN JACOBSEN ASSOCIATES FOR A MODIFICATION
OF AN EXISTING USE PERMIT AND APPROVAL OF PLANS TO
ALLOW A TWO-STORY ADDITION TO AN EXISTING CHURCH
(THE -HOME CHURCH) ON PROPERTY KNOWN AS 1711 SOUTH
WINCHESTER BOULEVARD (S 86-22/MM 86-26)
Dear Chairman Perrine and Members
of the Planning Commission:
~3
~ ~~ ~~
Mr. Philip and Anne Labrador, who are the owners of approxi-
mately 1.888 acres of land located within the Campbell
Shopping Center do hereby object to the above referenced
application on the basis and .for the reasons hereinafter
specified.
1. HISTORY:
Exhibit "1", which is attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference, depicts the Campbell Shopping Center which is
located on the northwest corner of Winchester Boulevard and
West Latimer Avenue. The Applicant's property is shown on
said Exhibit 1 as Parcel No. 7. The property of Mr. and Mrs.
Labrador is shown as Parcel No. 12.
Historically, the Campbell Shopping Center was developed by a
limited partnership known as "CAMPBELL PROPERTIES CO." By
Deed dated June 21, 1955 Campbell Properties Co. conveyed
Parcel No. 7 (the land now owned by Applicant) to ROMANI
BROS., a co-partnership, for the construction of a grocery
store thereon.
/-J3-~'7
~C .
//~")LAW OFFICES OF
`'r~/'~~~~~!`~ A PROF[S~O~ RAT~i~I~I~
January 13, 1987
Page Two
Said Deed specifically reserved to the Grantor (Campbell
Properties Co., who then owned. the balance of the Campbell
Shopping Center) certain easements for ingress and egress and
parking rights. These easements are specifically set forth in
said Deed which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incor-
porated herein by reference.
The easements may be summarized as follows:
A. A twenty foot (20') wide easement on the northerly edge
of Parcel No. 7 (Applicant's property) for ingress and
egress for the benefit of all property owners in the
Campbell Shopping Center;
B. A forty foot (40') wide easement on the westerly line of
the Campbell Shopping Center for ingress and egress for
all of the property owners of the Campbell Shopping
Center; and
C. An easement for parking in that portion of the Campbell
Shopping Center that is presently used, by .all of the
owners and tenants, for parking purposes.
Said easements were specifically created for the successors in
~- interest of the respective parties. Legally, such easements
"run with the land." In other words, these easements, once
created, remain on the property even though new owners may be
involved.
2. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF APPLICANT WOULD CONSTITUTE A
PERMANENT TRESPASS:
The "Site Plan" df the proposed addition for the Home Church
dated November 13, 1986 that was filed by Applicant in connec-
tion with this matter would constitute a permanent trespass
upon the easement rights of my clients, Mr. and Mrs.
Labrador, for the following reasons:
A. Applicant proposes to place fourteen (14) standard
parking places and several trees in the twenty foot
(20') right. of way presently located on the northerly
boundary of Applicant's property. He also proposes to
remove the existing driveway approach from South.
Winchester Boulevard.
LAW OFFICES OF
~~ea~ gG ~,art~u~
A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION
January 13, 1987 Page Three
B. Applicant proposes to extend its existing building by
approximately sixty feet (60'). Said addition will
encroach the present parking easements of my clients.
If any construction is commenced by Applicant in such a manner
as to violate my clients' easements for ingress and egress
and/or parking, we shall immediately file an appropriate
lawsuit with the Superior Court to seek damages against the
Home Church as well as a permanent injunction.
3. TAXING OF RECIPROCAL EASEMENTS:
By Agreement dated June 12, 1958, a copy of which is attached
hereto marked Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference,
all of the "then owners" of the Campbell Shopping Center set
forth their. agreement pertaining to the non-exclusive ease-
ments for ingress and egress and parking. Basically, this
agreement reaffirms the twenty foot (20') and forty foot (40')
ingress and egress easements referred to above, and also
reaffirms the parking easement.
The easements created are "reciprocal" in nature in the sense
that they not only benefit each parcel of land, but also
burden it with the three easements involved.
Thus, the Home Church as a successor in interest of Romani
Bros. must sustain the burden of the easements on its property
but will also. benefit by the parking and ingress and egress
easements on the other owners' properties. However, if the
Home Church is allowed to construct an addition to its
building, and also diminish the parking .that is presently on
its parcel (i.e., No. 7 on Exhibit 1), then it would create an
additional burden on all of the remaining parcels in the
Campbell Shopping Center. This additional burden was not
contemplated by the original owners that established the
reciprocal easements.
Consequently, my clients, as owners of Parcel No. 12, would
also be entitled to apply to the Court for damages and a
permanent injunction which would enjoin the-Home Church from
creating this further burden (i.e., taxing of the easement) on
my clients' property.
