(7-0-0).
Commissioner Fairbanks asked about the accessibility of the open space;
and, the amount of open space provided.

well as redlining of the presented
plans, with revised plans to come back
to Staff for approval. Motion carried
with the following roll call vote:
Discussion of motion
Commissioner Dickson stated that he would be speaking against the motion
in that the Planned Development zoning should provide for a better use of
the property. He was of the opinion that the development's profile was
very plain, with minimum outdoor access. The applicant could have
developed under the R-2 zoning and have had a few more restrictions on the
plans.
Chairman Kasolas stated that he would be voting in favor of the motion,
based on a reduction in density from the originally approved plans. He
noted that the townhomes allowed for individual ownership which would
develop stability in the neighborhood.

Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Warren Jacobsen, applicant, reviewed the plans for the Commission
noting that the height of the building will be minimized by the use of
berming and vegetation; they have elected to off set the entrance from the
redwood trees; and, the goal of the design is simplicity, with the use of
columns, tile, and hips to blend with the grammar school across the
street.
Discussion ensued regarding the traffic generated from the use; the
shadowing on adjoining properties; and fencing.
Mr. Helms noted that a traffic report has been submitted which indicates
approximately 360 vehicle trips per day. Staff is of the opinion that

and the site coverage. He stated that he would be speaking against the
motion.
Commissioner Olszewski noted that it was difficult for the Site Committee
to have the trees saved on this site. He expressed a concern about the
aesthetic appearance of the modern-looking design going across from the
high school building, and indicated that he would be watching the
development of this building very closely. Commissioner Olszewski stated
that he would be voting in favor of the motion with reluctance.
Chairman Kasolas stated his concurrence with Commissioner Dickson's

Sahadi, F. Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
which has been prepared for the proposed
expansion of an existing motel located
at 675 E. Campbell Ave. in a PD (Planned
.Development/Commercial & Public
Facilities) Zoning District.
Mr. Ree reported that as of this writing, the consultant has not had
adequate time to respond to all of the issues raised. Staff has been
involved in discussions with the EIR consultant and a representative of
the applicant. As a result of these discussions, it was generally agreed
that a continuance of 4-6 weeks on this item would be desirable. Staff is
therefore recommending a continuance to the Planning Commission meeting of
August 12, 1986.
Chairman Rasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Lawrence Ames, 1218 Willow St., San Jose, spoke regarding the Santa
Clara County Trails and Pathways publication noting that the proposed
development would make the Los Gatos Creek trail into a parking lot. He
urged denial of this application. Mr. Ames indicated that he was
representing the Santa Clara County Planning Department Trails and
Pathways Committee.
Ms. Christine Svensson, 1468 Nogalo Ct., San Jose, spoke on behalf of the
Los Gatos Creek and Streamside Committee, and asked that the Open Space
Element of the General Plan be carefully considered in the decision
regarding this EIR.
Chairman Kasolas requested that the consultant be asked to address the
effect of the tractor work being done in the creek on the riparian
community. --
-9-
Commissioner Perrine asked that Mr. Ames be given a copy of the Parks and
Recreation Commission's memorandum to the Planning Commission regarding
the bicycle path along this development.
Chairman Kasolas noted that the creek is under private ownership and not
available to public use, but rather has easements for running water
through. He suggested that this might be appropriate for the consultant
to address also.
M/S: Dickson, Perrine - That the public hearing on EIR 86-01 be
continued to the Planning Commission
meeting of August 12, 1986. Motion
carried unanimously (7-0-0).
PD 85-12 Continued public hearing to consider the
Sahadi, F. application of Mr. Fred Sahadi for

breakfast room, conference rooms and
related service facility on property
known as 675 E. Campbell Avenue in a PD

modification to PD 72-09 to allow the
placement of 13 cargo storage containers
on property known as 950 W. Hamilton
Ave. in a PD (Planned Development/
Commercial) Zoning District.
There was brief discussion regarding whether or not building permits have
been issued for the addition to this store. Mr. Kee indicated that he was
not aware of any permits being issued at this time.
M/S: Fairbanks, Christ - That the Planning Commission adopt the
attached findings and allow the storage
containers to remain on the property
until December 1, 1986. Motion carried
unanimously (7-0-0).
SA 86-28 Sign application of Mr. Al Munoz for
AM's Porsche AM's Porsche located on property known
as 866 McGlincey Ln. in an M-1-S (Light
Industrial) Zoning District. _.
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee.
There was brief discussion regarding whether or not the proposed sign was
lighted. Mr. Kee indicated that lighting is not shown on the plans,
therefore, Staff would take the position that if lighting is requested the
plan would have to come back to the Planning Commission.
M/S: Fairbanks, Olszewski - That the Planning Commission adopt the
attached findings and approve SA 86-28
subject to the applicant obtaining any
necessary permits. Motion carried
unanimously (7-0-0).
MM 86-13 Application of Mr. Daniel DiBenedetto
DiBenedetto, D. for a minor modification to previously
approved Planned Development Permit to
allow the construction of a residential
addition on property known as 1407
Harriet Ct. in a PD (Planned
Development/Low Density Residential)
Zoning District. ----_
-11-
Commissioner Perrine reported that this application was considered by the
Site and Architectural Review Committee. The applicant is requesting the
extra length to the garage for the purpose of storing a 21' recreational
vehicle. The addition appears to be compatible with the existing
structure, and the Committee is recommending approval recognizing that the
request does go into the frontyard setback by 2'.
Chairman Kasolas questioned the width of the private street, and asked if
parking was allowed on the street.
Mr. Woodworth responded that the street is 22-24' wide.
Mr. Helms indicated that parking is not monitored on the street due to its
private nature.
There was discussion regarding street width; parking on the street; the
designation of afire lane; and, lot sizes in this development.
M/S: Perrine, Olszewski - That the Planning Commission approve the
applicant's request, subject to
conditions as indicated in the Staff
Report dated June 24, 1986, with the
understanding that the frontyard setback
be 13'.
Discussion of motion
Commissioner Dickson asked if this item should be a public hearing for a
variance, rather than a minor modification, in that it is in a PD Zoning
District .
Commissioner Christ stated that he is against the motion, and expressed
his concern with the reduction of the setbacks.
Commissioner Perrine stated that he would be voting for the motion, noting
that he would rather see the recreational vehicle covered even it meant a
slight infringement on the frontyard setback. He added that the design
includes a balcony which provides relief to the architectural element.
Commissioner Dickson noted that he is not speaking against the request,
but rather against the process.
Mr. Kee noted the 6 letters (attached hereto) in support of the request
from surrounding property owners.
Roll Call Vote on Motion
AYES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Perrine, Stanton
NOES: Commissioners: Dickson, Christ, Fairbanks, Kasolas
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
Motion for approval fails.
-12-
Mr. Daniel DiBenedetto, applicant, explained that the frontyard area
varied in size because of the curve in the cul-de-sac. --
Chairman Kasolas noted that the issue may be at what point does a change _
become a minor modification or a higher usage and more intense
development.
M/S: Dickson, Fairbanks - That the Planning Commission determine
that this request is not a minor
modification; and, if the applicant
wishes to reapply, fees already paid to
be applied to the reapplication fee.
Discussion
Commissioner Olszewski felt that this procedure only develops more red
tape. The plans seem to be fine, but the concern is how this fits into
the Zoning Ordinance. He felt that there was enough information upon
which to base a decision, and he thought it was unfortunate that people
should be put through a maze.
Commissioner Dickson stated that he had the same feelings for the
application and the applicant; however, when a change is made to
something that could apply to many lots throughout the City -- the
decision could result in a change in the law, without the Commission even
being aware of it. This is a rather large change that affects both the
front and rear yards.
Commissioner Christ stated that a lot of allowances are made under the PD
zoning, and he was concerned that the Commission is being asked to make
additional allowances. He noted that he liked the applicant's plans;
however, he could not vote for approval.
Chairman Kasolas noted that this appears to be a very sensitive issue, and
the public should have an opportunity to speak.
Vote on motion
AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Christ, Fairbanks, Kasolas
NOES: Commissioners: Olszewski, Perrine, Stanton
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
Chairman Kasolas advised the applicant of the appeal procedure.
The Commission recessed at 9:50 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 10:00 p.m.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
TA 86-01 Continued public hearing to consider a
City-initiated City-initiated text amendment to revise
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Campbell.
Mr. Woodworth reviewed the proposed amendments for the Commission.
Chairman Kasolas expressed a concern about whether or not more units were
possible under the PD zoning. There appears to be a tremendous pressure
throughout the community to have more units - and where to put them.
Perhaps there should be selected areas where the additional units are
permitted.
Commissioner Fairbanks noted that the proposed statement does not, in
reality, stop anyone from applying or using the PD zoning for the purpose
of more units.
Mr. Seligmann indicated that this amendment would become law after
approved by the City Council.
Commissioner Dickson felt that the proposed PD statement clarified, rather
than tried to block additional units.
Chairman Kasolas stated that he believed that the PD ordinance gives the
City the utmost control, and gives the surrounding community an
opportunity to comment on issues. He asked if it is the intent of the law
not to stop anyone from applying for more units, does that mean they could
still have the possibility of applying for more units.
Mr. Seligmann responded that if it is stated in the zoning district to not
allow more units, then you can't allow more units.
Mr. Kee noted that the law requires that the zoning be consistent with the
General Plan - it's a matter of interpretation. This statement would make
it consistent by making the PD consistent with all the other zoning
districts. The conflict occurs on corner lots in that the density is
determined on the gross square footage which is calculated to the center
of the street.
Commissioner Olszewski commented on the notification procedures, noting
that he felt the site should be posted so that area residents who are not
property owners could be informed of what is happening.
M/S: Dickson, Christ - 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 adopt
the revised Zoning Ordinance on file in
the Planning Department. Motion carried
with the following roll call vote:
-14-
AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Olszewski, Christ, Perrine, _
Stanton, Fairbanks, Rasolas
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
Commissioner Olszewski noted that he is against not having the
notification procedures changed to include posting of the site.
Chairman Kasolas noted that he is against the added Planned Development
statement.
MISCELLANEOUS
EIR Review Process Informational item outlining EIR review
process.
Mr. Stafford reported that Staff is recommending a continuance of this
item due to the lateness of the hour.
It was the consensus of the Commission that this item be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of July 8, 1986.
Staff Report Staff Report regarding policies of `,
Redevelopment Agency for plan review.
Mr. Ree reported that Staff has been asked to bring a Draft Interim
Ordinance for the Downtown Area to the City Council for consideration. It
is suggested that this item be continued.
It was the consensus of the Commission that this item be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of July 8, 1986.
OTHER ITEMS BROUGHT UP BY COMMISSION
Commissioner Dickson. thanked Mr. Seligmann for the memorandum regarding
x-rated video sales. He asked Staff to find any cities that have been
successful in making the connection as stated under conclusions in Mr.
Seligmann's memo.
Commissioner Fairbanks asked if it could be tied to something other than
zoning, ie. health, safety, welfare, etc.
Mr. Seligmann responded that this would result in restricting the entire
community - you have to allow somewhere in the City for the sale of such
material.
-15-
Commissioner Dickson noted that the sound system did not seem to be
working correctly - there seems to be too many highs and lows in it. He
asked Staff to have it checked out again.

Dear Mr. Duggan:
At its meeting of June 11, 1986, the City of San Jose Parks and
Recreation Commission discussed the proposed expansion of the
Campbell Inn on Los Gatos Creek. The Commission is very con-
cerned about this proposed development and unanimously adopted
a motion to direct a letter to the City of Campbell voicing
strong oppostion to this development. The Commission has also
requested that the City of San Jose Parks and Recreation and
Planning Departments comment on the pending environmental
clearance application before the City of Campbell Planning
Commission on June 24, 1986.
The Parks and Recreation Commission is concerned about the pro-
posed project because the project would set an inappropriate
policy direction by allowing private development to encroach
on the Los Gatos Creek trail system; the project is insensitive
to trail plans and practices established by the County and re-
spective Cities; and the project physically interrupts and re-
stricts public use of the trail along Los Gatos Creek.
The City of San Jose Parks and Recreation Commission respectfully
requests that the City of Campbell not approve the proposed ex-
pansion of the Campbell Inn on Los Gatos Creek.
Sincerely, , /

Re: Campbell Inn Expansion - 86A333, 86E333
Dear Mr. Kee:
I am in support of the additional overnight lodging units for the
Campbell Inn. A high quality project by Mr. Sahadi will benefit
Campbell and will reduce the need for visitors to find overnight --
lodging outside the City.
Assurances have been made that protection will be provided to prevent
any erosion or instability to the westside of the Los Gatos Creek
Channel which is expected to occur when only one side of the channel
is lined as shown in the Draft EIR. At the May 27th Planning
Commission Meeting, the Santa Clara County Water District expressed
concern in it's May 23rd correspondence, and requested that erosion
protection be provided for the opposite bank. It was also indicated
in the May 27th meeting that any erosion protection needed because
of the project would be the developer's responsibility.
As one of the owner's of property opposite the proposed project, I
had also expressed .concern on this issue at the May 27th meeting.
When the Draft EIR is finalized, how protection will be provided by
the Developer to assure continued channel stability on the westside
should be shown with a preliminary cross section, dimensions, and
location of the retaining walls needed. The draft EIR now shows a
deflection wall approximately 20 feet long plus a retaining wall
paralleling the eastside of the creek for about 400 feet approximately
20 to 25 feet from the centerline. This wall extends opposite parcel
APN 279-46-006 where studies are underway for development according
to the Professional Office Zoning.
A final comment is that the provision for the traffic leaving the
Campbell Inn to make a left and "U" turns on Campbell Avenue near the
City Park accommodates the automobile, but does not help the existing
6

pedestrian safety problem near the Park. Since this portion of Campbell
Avenue is certain to experience increased pedestrian and vehicular
traffic from redevelopment slated for the areas bordering Los Gatos
Creek and Campbell Avenue, and also from increased outsider traffic
flowing through Campbell streets, master planning and coordination
for a longer range solution for the pedestrian safety problem such as
traffic lights at Poplar or Gilman Avenue should begin to be considered.

re: Campbell Inn Expansion
Dear Sir,
I am very concerned about the proposed expansion of the Campbell
Inn, and I urge you to not accept their current plane. The addition would
irrevocably damage several hundred feet of the Loe Gatos Creek bank, and
would change the character of the Loe Gatos Creek Recreational Trail from a
peaceful tree-lined path to a route across a parking lot. I am pleased that the -~-
Campbell Inn built their section of the trail, and am glad that their business is
successful, but I hope they can come up with an expansion plan that doesn't
degrade the quality of the creek and its park-like surroundings.
For years I have enjoyed bicycling along the Loe Gatos Creek Trail in
Campbell. I have been working with the county and the city of San Jose to get
the trail extended (hopefully from downtown San Jose to the Santa Cruz
Mountains), and I have been holding Campbell up as an example of how nice a
trail can be. But now, if you allow this construction between the trail and the
creek (and over the creek's bank), it too will act as a precedent and model for
the rest of the creek. If development like this takes place, what is the point of
s trail-aide path?--a route along Bascom Avenue would also move traffic
between points 'A' and 'B' and would give as much of a view of nature.
San Jose ie finally beginning to work on its section of the creek trail.
But already a developer wants to build a concrete block wall immediately
adjacent to the trail, thereby inhibiting the enjoyment of the creek. Even
though it is a different city, the developer is sure to mention the Campbell Inn
as an example of what is done.
It's important to have open apace and access to nature in this
sprawling urban area. It's vital to preserve the creeks with their riparian
beauty for all, and not just the motel guests to view thru windows. Please do
not grant the Campbell Inn permission to build their current design.
Thank you,
Dr. Lawrence Lowell Ames
