residential use.

No one wishing to speak at this time, it was

property known as 190 Dillon Ave. in a

requesting a continuance to October 14 in order to meet some of the
requirements necessitated by a deepening of the retaining wall.
Mr. Kee indicated that Staff is in concurrence with the recommendation for
continuance.
Commissioner Christ asked if this item had been referred to the Parks &
Recreation Commission.
Mr. Kee responded that the Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the
proposal at its meeting of September 10, 1986, and found it to be
acceptable, with a condition that the landscaping be incorporated into the
wall design as proposed. The plans were also referred to the Los Gatos
Creekside Committee; however, no comments have been received from this
Committee as yet.
Acting Chairman Dickson opened the public hearing and invited anyone in
the audience to speak on this item.
No one wishing to speak at this time, it was
M/S: Fairbanks, Christ - That the public hearing on PD 86-07 be ---
continued to the Planning Commission ~
meeting of October 14, 1986 at the
applicant's request. Motion carried
unanimously (5-0-2), with Commissioners
Kasolas and Perrine being absent.
ZC 86-09 Continued public hearing to consider the
Ghiai, Y, application of Mr. Yves Ghiai for a zone
change from R-2-S (Multiple Family
Residential) to PD (Planned
Development}; and approval of plans,
elevations and development schedule to
allow the construction of 6 townhomes on
property known as 272 w. Sunnyoaks Ave.
Commissioner Olszewski reported that this item was considered by the Site
and Architectural Review Committee. The applicant is requesting a
continuance to October 14 in order to revise his plans. The revisions
will include relocation of the driveway and building units. Commissioner
Olszewski continued that suggestions were made by the Site Review
Committee regarding density and open space; however, the applicant is
diligently holding on to the proposed six units.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked if the applicant was made aware of the San
Tomas Policy.
-7-
Mr. Kee responded that the San Tomas Policy is a standard part of the
application packet which applicants receive.
Acting Chairman Dickson opened the public hearing and invited anyone in
the audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Ernest Cook, 282 Sunnyoaks Ave., spoke against six units, noting that
he was led to believe that only 5 units are possible on the site. Mr.
Cook continued that the proposed units are 3 bedroom, which means there
will be families living there - and, there is no place for children to
play. Additionally, Mr. Cook noted that there are parking problems
because of the configuration of the street. In conclusion, Mr. Cook
indicated that he is not opposed to condominiums, but rather the height of
the buildings surrounding his property.
Mrs. Johanna Mitrovich, 321 Sunnyoaks Ave., spoke against-the project,
citing the same reasons as Mr. Cook - density, no space for children to
play, and area traffic.
Acting Chairman Dickson noted that the General Plan and Zoning allows the
number of units that the applicant is proposing. The Planning Commission
is, hocLe~~er, trying to make the development harmonious with the
neighborhood.
Commissioner Olszewski asked Staff what the distance is to the nearest
park or school.
No one else wishing to speak at this time, it was
M/S: Stanton, Fairbanks - That the public hearing on ZC 86-09 be
continued to the Planning Commission
meeting of October 14, 1986. Motion
carried unanimously (5-0-2), with
Commissioners Kasolas and Perrine being
absent.
GP 86-03 Public hearing to consider the applica-
Carvalho, J. tion of Mr. John Carvalho to change the
Land Use Element of the General Plan
from Low Density Residential (less than
4.5 units per gross acre) to Low-Medium
Density Residential (6-13 units per
gross acre) on property known as 1075
Hacienda Ave.
Mr. Woodworth reported that the applicant has submitted a petition in
support of his request; that the subject property was changed from Low
Medium Density to Low Density in 1982; that the surrounding area is
-8-
designated Low-Medium Density and developed with duplexes; that a street
dedication will be required upon development; and, under the current R-1
zoning, a total of 3 homes would be allowed. Staff is of the opinion that
there is justification for the General Plan change for the following
reasons:
1. Low Medium Density development (duplexes) are currently developed
to the east and south of the subject property. The change would
facilitate duplexes facing duplexes, as opposed to duplexes
facing single family homes.
2. Hacienda Ave. is designated as a 4-lane arterial street which is
generally not a desirable location for single family housing.
3. The submitted petition indicates that a majority of the adjacent
residents are in favor of the change.
If the change is approved, the applicant would then come back for a zone
change and development plan. At the time of the zone change, Staff would
only support a density that would be consistent with that of the
surrounding duplexes.
Commissioner Olszewski asked how it can be interpreted that duplexes are a
more desirable use on this street.
Mr. Kee stated that Hacienda Ave, is designed to handle the higher
densities; and, because of the carrying capacity of this street, Staff can
support increased density along this street. Mr. Kee noted that this
property was zoned Low-Medium Density prior to the San Tomas hearings and
the change in zoning to a lower density in 1982.
Commissioner Christ expressed a concern .with the positioning of the lot
which could allow access from the residential street, rather than from the
arterial street, noting that he would hate to see the backs of duplexes
(usually rental housing) facing the single family neighborhood.
Mr. Kee indicated that the size of the lot would provide for design
flexibility; and, development plans would have to come back to the
Commission for approval.
Commissioner Olszewski asked how many units would be possible under the
Low-Medium Density designation.
Mr. Woodworth indicated that 6-12 units would be possible, depending on
the zoning.
Acting Chairman Dickson expressed his concern with this type of General
Plan change request, noting that, in his opinion, this was more like spot
zoning or a specific change, rather than a general change.
-9-
Mr. Seligmann noted that there is no minimum size stipulated for a General
Plan Amendment application.
Mr. Kee indicated that Staff views the proposal as carrying, to the west,
the zoning in the immediate area, rather than as spot zoning.
Acting Chairman Dickson stated that he is looking at a street being a
major area or break.
Commissioner Christ asked if it would be possible to split the lot and
give different designations to each portion; ie. low density to the
section adjoining the single family homes, and low-medium to the portion
facing Hacienda Ave.
Mr. Seligmann responded that the property would have to be subdivided
prior to approving any General Plan amendments.
Acting Chairman Dickson opened the public hearing and invited anyone in
the audience to speak on this item.
Mr. Bruce Edwards, 1125 Wekiva Ave., stated that the property is an
eyesore; however, increasing the density may create an even greater
problem. Mr. Edwards noted that, in 1980 there was a similar request to
change the zoning, and a petition with 160 signatures against the change
for multiple units was presented to the Council Mr. Edwards concluded
that the possibility of three individual dwellings would better fit into
the area.
Mr. William Frye, 1160 Sonuca Ave., stated that he is very familiar with
the subject property's problems. At this time, the people living close to
the site are very disenchanted and would welcome almost anything to
improve the property. The neighbors have been asked to vote on the
property, and they are in favor of a zone change. Mr. Frye concluded that
the property is currently a detriment to the community.
Commissioner Christ commented that he is aware of the problems at this
location and he would like to see them taken care of also; however, he
would like to see development which will not be detrimental in any way to
the neighborhood.
Mr. Jimmy Fox, 245 Glenridge, Los Gatos, architect representing the
applicant, stated that area residents feel that new housing would
revitalize the area and possibly provide housing for some young adults
emerging from the area families. Additionally, Mr. Fox cited information
from an article referring to the Bay Area in general, which indicated that
ABAG is encouraging higher densities on certain properties.
Mr. Joe Paxton, 1169 Sonuca Ave., stated that he had no objection to
rezoning the property; and, noted problems with rental units in the area.
-10-
No one else wishing to speak, it was
M/S: Olszewski, Fairbanks - That the public hearing on GP 86-03 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(5-0-2), with Commissioners Kasolas and
Perrine being absent.
M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the Planning Commission accept the
Negative Declaration which has been
prepared for GP 86-03.
Discussion on motion
Discussion ensued regarding the implications of accepting the Negative
Declaration.
Mr. Seligmann explained that the Negative Declaration indicates that this
proposal is not substantial enough to require an Environmental Impact
Report.
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that, based on the City Attorney's
explanation, she will speak in favor of the motion in order to move the
issue along by not requiring an EIR.
Acting Chairman Dickson noted his agreement with Commissioner Fairbanks'
statement.
Vote on motion ~ ,
AYES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Christ, Stanton, Fairbanks,
Dickson
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine
M/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the Planning Commission adopt a
Resolution,recommending that the City
Council deny GP 86-03.
Discussion on motion
Commissioner Olszewski commented regarding the upkeep of the property, and
noted that the property owner still has an opportunity to develop the
site; however, he would prefer to see it developed at a lesser density
than what is being requested.
Acting Chairman Dickson noted that he is concerned about the presented
petition; however, he felt that, because of the condition of the property,
the area residents would sign anything. that represented a potential ---
improvement. Additionally, Commissioner Dickson felt that this request
was a specific change, rather than a General Plan change. He felt that
-11-
the entire area should be considered, not just a single lot, in that this
type of change is very serious. Commissioner Dickson suggested that the
,-_- issue of general plan vs. specific plan be discussed at a study session.
In conclusion, referring to statements made by Mr. Fox regarding housing
availability, Commissioner Dickson .noted that Campbell has one of the best
housing balances in Santa Clara County.

MISCELLANEOUS
?'Afearal Continued referral from City Council on
Anderson, K. the application of Mr. Kurt Anderson for
ZC 86-01 a zone chan~7e from R-M-S (Mulitiple
Family Residential) to PD (Planned
Development); and approval of a Planned '~
Development Permit, plans, elevations
and development schedule to allow the
construction of 4 townhomes on property
known as 235 N. Third St.
Mr. Woodworth reported that Staff is recommending a continuance of this
item because revised plans have not yet been submitted.
M/S: Christ, Stanton - That ZC 86-O1 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of October
14, 1986. Motion carried unanimously
(5-0-2), with Commissioners Kasolas and
Perrine being absent.
SA 86-35 Continued sign application of Mr. Ed
Arioto, E. Arioto for property known as 441 N.
Central Ave. #2, in a C-1-S
(Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Olszewski reported that this item was considered by the Site
and Architectural Review Committee, and approval is being recommended.
-12-
M/S: Olszewski, Christ - That the Planning Commission adopt the
attached findings and approve SA 86-35,
subject to conditions indicated in the
Staff Report dated September 23, 1986.
Motion carried unanimously (5-0-2), with
Commissioners Kasolas and Perrine being
absent.
SA 86-42 Continued sign application of
Anastasia's Anastasia's Fitness Center for property
known as 2931 S. Winchester Blvd. in a
C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning
District.
Mr. Kee reported that Staff is, again, recommending approval of the
applicant's request, due to the proximity of his building to the street
frontage and the reduced visibility of his building, as compared to the
neighboring uses.
Co~u issioner Olszewski stated that he viewed the lot as unique, in that it
naturally attracts the eye's attention because of being recessed between
two other structures. Additionally, there is already a large freestanding
sign on the site. Therefore, he felt that there was not a demonstrated
need for the requested square footage on the awning sign.
M/S: Olszewski, Christ -
That the Planning Commission deny SA
86-42, based on the following findings:
(1) the applicant has not demonstrated
a need for extra signage; (2) the
property is unique in that it naturally
attracts the eye's attention because of
being recessed between two other
structures, and does not necessitate
additional signage; and, (3) the
requested signage exceeds the square
footage allowable under the Sign
Ordinance.
Discussion on motion
Commissioner Fairbanks noted that she has difficulty considering signs
that have been erected without permits, in that people in business must be
aware of signing regulations and the need for permits. Commissioner
Fairbanks added that she will be speaking against the motion; in that she
felt that an 84 sq. ft. sign is acceptable in this case; however; she was
not in agreement with the applicant's approach.
-13-
Vote on motion
Motion carried with a vote of 4-1-2,
with Commissioner Fairbanks voting "no",
and Commissioners Kasolas and Perrine
being absent.
SA 86-43 Sign application of Hagstrom Properties
Hagstrom Properties for McDuff Electronic Super Center on
property known as 1658 S. Bascom Ave. in
a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Olszewski reported that this item was considered by the Site
and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending
approval based on the fact that this particular business is located
approximately 280 ft. off the street, and that the sign is actually a
replacement of the facing for the "Consumer's Distribution" store.
Additionally, other signs in this shopping center are of similar size.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked if the previous sign was approved or is in
accord with the Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Kee responded that the previous sign was in accord with the Sign
Ordinance in effect at the time it was constructed. In this case, Staff
has taken a strict interpretation of the ordinance.
Commissioner Christ asked if the verbage "Super Center" is part of the
business name or an identification of services.
Mr. Jerry Barnes, representing McDuff Electronic, Super Center, indicated
that the "Super Center" identifies a store which has been expanded to
include appliances and electronic equipment, and distinguishes the gender
of the store.
Acting Chairman Dickson asked how many businesses are in the center, and
how is the signing controlled.
Mr. Kee indicated that the property owner was contacted in the past to
develop a signing program for the shopping center.
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that she would be in favor of a continuance
on this item, noting that she is inclined to agree with Staff's
recommendation for denial on this application for reasons similar to those
indicated by Commissioner Christ.
Mr. Barnes indicated that he would prefer a decision this evening because
there is a push to open the store before Christmas. He felt that reducing
the sign size would have a negative effect on the entire center.
-14-
Commissioner Olszewski noted that Staff's recommendation is based on the
strictest interpretation of the ordinance; and, he also noted that there
are other stores in the center with substantially larger signs.
M/S: Stanton, Olszewski -
City Council Referral
Air Quality Element
That the Planning Commission adopt the
following findings, and approve SA
86-43: (1) The applicant has
demonstrated that this business would
lack adequate identification if a
smaller sign was proposed; (2) The
submitted plans have demonstrated that
this business location is unusually
difficult to locate or identify; and (3)
The requested signing is consistent with
existing signing in the shopping
center. Motion carried with a vote of
4-1-2, with Commissioner Fairbanks
voting "no", and Commissioners Kasolas
and Perrine being absent.
Staff Report regarding the Air Quality
Element of the General Plan.
Mr. Kee reported that the City Council is referring this matter to the
Planning Commission for review and recommendation. Staff is recommending
that neighboring jurisdictions be contacted to determine the approach
being used to respond to the Air Quality District's request. The results
of this survey will be presented to the Commission at the October 28
meeting; and, if the Commission determines that an Air Quality Element is
desirable, then Staff would request that the Commission set January 23,
1987, as the time for a hearing to consider this matter.
Acting Chairman Dickson asked Staff to look for comments from the League
of California Cities on this issue.
M/S: Fairbanks, Christ - That the Planning Commission direct
Staff to conduct a study to determine
how neighboring jurisdictions have
responded to the Bar Area Air Quality
Management District's request that
cities consider the addition of an Air
Quality Element to the General Plan;
and, that this issue be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of October
28, 1986. Motion carried unanimously
(5-0-2), with Commissioners Kasolas and
Perrine being absent.
