Mr. Jones added that the plan design indicates a "home" f~P' appearance to make people more comfortable in coming into the center; and, that the church would like to completely resurface and landscape the __ entire parking area. Mr. Adam Alb, 1757 S. Winchester Blvd., spoke in opposition to the proposal, stating that the church has sabotaged the shopping center's promotions; the church does not have enough of it's own parking; and, the expansion would harm the businesses is the center.

Campbell Ave. in an Interim (Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning District. -10- Planner II Woodworth reviewed the Staff Report for the Commission. Commissioner Christ asked if this use were to be approved at this location, and the business did not succeed or moved, would another similar use be allowed to come in without applying for a change of use; or, could there be a condition that if this applicant were to vacate the site, the approval of this use would be discontinued. This concern arises from another restaurant's parking need being different from the current applicant's. City Attorney Seligmann responded that it would be possible to condition the use to a specific length of time. The 45 seats figure would continue with the property, if no time limit were placed on the use. Chairman Rasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Ms. Vicki Lou Hillig, applicant, commented that the building they are occupying was previously a frame shop; that Los Pericos is the only use listed in the Staff Report which operates dyripg the day and evening; there are no signs indicating that available parking is private; and, the removal of the cement planters and dividers along Campbell Ave. would allow for at least 6 more parking spaces. ~ The restaurant would like to be open from 6 a.m. to 4 p,m., if necessary; however, they would really like to be open a little later to serve the after work crowd. Ms. Hillig requested a decision on this matter this evening. M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the public hearing on UP 86-14 be closed. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0), M/S: Olszewski, Perrine - That the public hearing be reopened in light of possible additional testimony. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0). Commissioner Olszewski asked how a condition can be attached requiring the applicant to participate in any future parking district; or, some tool affected for the downtown redevelopment plans. Chairman Rasolas stated that he would be very reluctant to take such a position in that the property owner was not present this evening; and, he would feel uncomfortable setting forth a mechanism for the Redevelopment Agency without input. Acting Public Works Director Helms noted that he was of the understanding that it is not possible to require someone to loin a parking district at this point. Mr. Seligmann indicated that a condition could be attached to the use permit, and should the property owner not be able to participate in a parking district, then the use permit would be void. -11- Ms. Sandy Bertino, representing the applicant, referred to a letter dated November 11, 1986, from the applicant which indicates that the. .applicant would be more than willing to work with the Parking District„ She noted that the ..property owner is also. in concurrence. Although the applicant would prefer no stipulations on the hours of operation, they would like to be open late enough to catch the early dinner trade. Mr. Kee indicated that the use could be approved for a specified length of time, with an automatic review period, and if there were problems with the nse, the Commission could simply not renew the use permit. Commissioner Christ asked if the review period approach was taken, and this use vacated with another restaurant use moving into the location, would the review stipulation still be effective. Mr. Seligmann stated that the review would still be in effect. Chairman Rasolas noted that there are some vacancies in this particular block of downtown; and, a beauty shop has opened up in the next block at a location which was previously low intensity There are uses that are taking parking away from others. The. City's policy is that on-site parking must be provided. Now, it appears that the allocation which was factiously given will be doubled. Chairman Raeolas thought that one could not help but recognize that there is,a parking problem downtown. Commissioner Dickson stated that he felt very uncomfortable with this issue. The parking district was very expensive to those who participated. If a more intense use is approved at this location, it ___- would be difficult to disapprove any other application for a more intense use in the area. - Chairman Rasolas noted that the. property owner did not participate in the parking district in the past. What. guarantee would there be that he would participate in the future. Additionally, he felt that the downtown. has been upgrading itself and developments have been providing on-,site parking. Commissioner Olszewski felt that this use was a positive .move for the downtown. Ae continued that this building may have historic significance, and cannot be removed.; there. is no place to provide parking; and, it is necessary to maintain the character of the past, Something has to give, or else there is no way .the building can be utilized. Commissioner Christ noted that the Commission has been flexible with parking in the downtown .area;. however, in this. case, we are talking about double the number of spaces needed. Commissioner Perrine asked if the property owner could buy into the existing parking district. Mr. Aelms responded that no one can buy into the district in that it is not expandable. -12- Ms. Hillig noted that the Gaslighter Theater, Brigette's Restaurant, and other places in the downtown area do not have on-site parking. Mr. Woodworth explained that the City's position is that the increase in the number of seats requires parking according to code. M/S: Stanton, Olszewski - That the public hearing on IIP 86-14 be closed. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0). M/S: Perrine, Stanton - Discussion on motion That the Planning Commission adopt findings as indicated in the Staff Report dated December 9, 1986, and adopt a Resolution denying the applicant's request to increase the seating in the restaurant from 23 to 45 seats; and, approving the applicant's request for on-sale beer and wine in conjunction with the restaurant, subject to conditions as indicated in the Staff Report. Commissioner Christ noted that he could support a lesser increase in seating which might only require an additional one or two parking spaces; however, he could not support an increase in seating from 23 to 45. Amendment to motion M/ Dickson, - That the increase in seating and the request for on-sale beer/wine be considered separately. Motion failed for lack of a second. Discussion Chairman Rasolas noted that there were no drawings presented with respect to 23 seats, and he felt uncomfortable in proceeding with the motion. He stated that he would be speaking against the motion. Mr. Ree indicated that there is an approved plan for 23 seats, which meets the code, on file in the Planning Department. At this time, Commissioners Stanton and Perrine withdrew their motion. M/S: Dickson, Perrine - That the applicant's request to increase the number of seats from 23 to 45 be denied. Motion carried with the following roll call votes AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Christ, Perrine, Stanton, Rasolas NOES: Commissioners: Olszewski ABSENT: Commissioners: None. -13- M/S: Perrine, Christ - -That the applicant's request for on-sale beer/wine be approved. Discussion on motion Commissioner Dickson stated that he was opposed to approving the beer and wine use. Chairman Rasolas spoke against the motion, citing the heavy concentration. of beer/wine uses. in the. immediate area. Vote on motion AYES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Christ, Perrine NOES: Commissionerss Dickson, Stanton, Rasolas ABSENT: Commissioners: None. Motion for approval fails. ,. The Commission recessed at 10:04 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 10:12 p.m. Mr. Seligmann determined that since this application is in a Planned Development Zoning District it would go on to Council for ratification ___~ for, essentially, the failure to obtain approval. Commissioner Perrine indicated. that. he was very open to the concept presented by the applicant, and. noted that there is nothing to prevent the applicant from reapplying in the future when the parking issue is resolved. TA 86-05 Public hearing to consider a City-initiated City-initiated text amendment to Chapter 21.61 of the Campbell Municipal Code adding. regulations for satellite dish antennas.

MISCELLANEOUS ~, SA 86-61 Request for signing and relocation of ZC 84-02 trash enclosure - StrataCom, Inc. - Stratacom, Inc. 3165-3175 S. Winchester Blvd. Chairman Kasolas reported that the Site and Architectural Review Committee is recommending approval of this request, subject to conditions as indicated on the revised list. M/S: Olszewski, Christ - That the Planning Commission adopt the following findingss 1. The proposed signage is of such a size and is so located in reference to the surrounding use and traffic circulation system that two freestanding signs would best serve the public welfare; and, 2. The proposed signage is well-designed and blends architecturally with the building; and, that the Planning Commission approve the request for signing and relocation of a trash enclosure for SA 86-61/ZC 84-02, subject to the following conditions: 1. Applicant to submit details of trash enclosure, landscaping and extension of irrigation for the approval of the Planning Director, prior to relocation of trash enclosure :area. 2. Applicant to change area of current trash enclosure back to two standard parking spaces. 3. Applicant to secure any necessary building permits. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0). -15- __ At this time, Mr. Val McMurdie, attorney for Mr. Rollins Ring Cushman, commented that the Cushman's (who are adjacent property owners) have a contract with the developer of this project (March Development Co.) that -_-' spelled out where the trash.. enclosure was. supposed to be located. If the enclosure was relocated to the rear of the site, adjacent to the Cushman residence, Mr. McMurdie expected litigation to ensue. Mr. McMurdie concluded that this project is an intense use adjacent to a residential neighborhood, and he hoped the Commission would take this factor into account in the future. Chairman Rasolas explained that the Mr. Cushman's contract with the property developer was a civil matter, and not under the Planning Commissions jurisdiction; although. the Commission always tries to look at both sides of every issue. Mr. McMurdie stated that his client. would .like verification that no relocation of the trash enclosure is being approved at this time. Mr. Ree indicated that it is his understanding that the trash enclosure is being proposed for relocation. ~ Commissioner Dickson. noted that the trash enclosure. is being relocated to the rear of the building --.not the rear of the property, and the enclosure would be surrounded by landscaping. Mr. McMurdie noted that it is sometimes. easy to dismiss homeowners, however, in this case, there is a very intense use adjacent to a residential area. The trash trucks make a great deal of noise, and the Commission should be aware of that problem. Mr. McMurdie felt that the Commission should review the Staff comments from the time the project was originally approved. Commissioner Dickson noted a letter from Green Valley Disposal stating that they will not pick up trash-from this location before 6 a.m. Mr. Cushman stated that the agreements with Green Valley usually last only two or three weeks before the trucks are back to picking up trash at 3 a.m., thus causing a great deal of noise to come from the Dell Ave, area . City Attorney Seligmann indicated that it was his understanding from previous .complaints that Green Valley 3s not supposed to be picking up this early in the morning. -16- ZC 86-13 Public hearing to consider City-initiated City-initiated zone changes as follow: (1) ~C-3-S (Central Business District Commercial) to C-2-S (General Commercial) for oda numbered properties 2015 to 2175 S.

Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0). -17- OTHER ITEMS BROUGHT UP BY COMMISSION Discussion ensued regarding the Site and Architectural Review Committee policies and procedures. Commissioner .Dickson asked Staff to review other community's existing tree policies; suggested that perhaps there should be a separate committee to look at sites; and, asked if Staff could come back with some recommendations for a more efficient process. Commissioner Olszewski asked , if Staff investigates the existing tree retention issue, that the City Attorney also look into various aspects of retaining trees. Commissioner Olszewski noted that he would like the issue continued so that he could do some research. Commissioner Christ stated that he always looked at mature trees on a site and expressed concern that they be replaced with mature landscaping. He felt that this was something that Staff could easily present to applicants; and, noted that it is difficult~in,the Site meeting if too much time is spent on one issue. Chairman Rasolas indicated that he had some concerns about the way the Site Committee is structured - not the way it operates, and referred to his comments from an earlier meeting. Chairman Rasolae continued that he felt that many times, many of the choices have been foreclosed by the Site Committee; he did not feel that the Site Committee spoke for the whole Commission; or, that it was the Site Committee's position to negotiate for the Commission. He questioned if the Commission really understood the role of the Site Committee, and felt that it might be appropriate if some time was devoted to the role, objectives, and interrelationship of the Committee and the Commission as a whole. Commissioner Olszewski stated that at the last meeting he requested a report regarding the possibilities for the Site Committee, and he again agreed that Staff should be directed to prepare a report regarding the responsibilities of the Site Committee addressing, in particular, the issues that been expressed by the Commission. Commissioner Olszewski suggested that this report be written is conjunction with the City Attorney and the Planning Department to provide legal opinions involved with the planning requirements. Mr. Ree stated that Staff will contact other cities in the County regarding their procedures. Commissioner Christ noted that he has gained a lot of insight from the County Commissioner's Forum. A lot of time questions regarding adjacent sites could be solved by the Commission visiting the ;sites prior to meetings. The Commission may need to look at what the role of the Planning Commission is. In some cities it is mandatory that the commissioners look at the sites. -18- . .
