COAI"IU2lICATIONS
Communication Request of AIr. Jim Morelan for an
Alorelan, J. opinion from the Planning Commission
regarding allowing an automobile repair
use on property known as 40 & 48 P.ailway
Ave. in a PD (Planned Development/
Industrial) Zoning District.
Air. Jim Alorelan, 100 j~'. P.incon Ave., explained that Staff had indicated
that the Commission had looked at a previous application for an automotive
use in this area with skepticism. Because of the application fee of
$1,000, it is important for the property owner to have a sense of
direction from the Commission. Air. Morelan concluded that he felt it
would be possible to minimize any negative aesthetic impact of his
client's use.
Commissioner Dickson asked if an auto use is permissible under the
Industrial Zoning District, noting that if it a permitted use, the City
has to take some action to clean the situation up.
Commissioner ICasolas noted that there is no question that the area between
Ilinchester and Bascom Avenues is in transition. This area is becoming
developed caith several nice office projects, and new business needs to be
compatible with the surroundinU area. Iie continued that the real question
is if an auto use appropriate for the downtoc~.m area. The Commission has
spol.en out loudly regarding these uses on I2inchester Blvd.
~__
-~-
There has been some serious enforcement problems h*ith a sizeable portion
of the auto repair facilities. Comrissioner l:asolas added that the
majority of people who come through Campbell come through the subject -
docanto~,m area.
Pir, tiar?: Collins, attorney representing the City on liability cases, spoke
on behalf of Pir. Jovanovic, noting that he is t}ie type of person he would
like to see in Campbell.
Chairman Fairbanks stated to ?ir. l~iorelan that his client certainly has a
right to apply for an automotive use in the subject area. She continued
that she ~•~ould need to look at the type of use that is suitable for that
area; and, she added that she might be disinclined towards an auto use,
but cannot ma~:e a decision because there is no application at this time.
Chairman Fairbanks noted that she has received a letter from Commissioner
Toshacli indicating his absence due to work related travel. Additionally,
Chairman Fairbanks indicated she has received information on a "Greenbelt
Seminar" which she passed to Commissioner l:asolas as representative on the
Transit Cor.~ittee.

S 35-13 Application of Pir. Mike Young for
Young, ti. approval of plans and elevations to
allow the construction of 9 single _.
family homes and the retention of an
existing single family home on property
knotim as 1106, 1130 & 1142 Audrey Ave.
in an R-1-10 (Single Family Residential,
10,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size) Zoning
District.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Co*.mnittee. Revie~•~ of the plans included the
setbacks, second stories, and street improvements. The Committee is
recommending approval with the stipulation that the previously recommended
alternative street improvements be reviewed in that standard improvements
may be more appropriate in light of the quality of the development. The
Committee expressed a concern Taith the deterioration of asphalt driveways,
curbs and gutters.
Commissioner Christ noted his personal concern that the improvements for
the ne~•~ court blend with the existin street.
Cor,~issioner Olszewski asked about the retention of existing landscaping.
-3-
Commissioner I:asolas noted that this development is before the Co,~mission
is only because it is in a sensitive area, otherwise it would just go
through the Building Department for permits.
Commissioner Dickson questioned if the ne~v homes would fit in with the
surrounding homes, specifically side yards placed against back yards of
adjacent homes.
Commissioner Christ responded that the new homes are all designed with the
privacy and line of sis;ht of surrounding hones in mind. The Committeee
did not loo: at the architectural design from a compatibility standpoint;
however, the homes are well beyond the normal setbacks and the only
intrusions would be from second stories, with these units being placed a
considerable distance from adjacent properties. The Site Committee is
impressed caith the treatments on the different elevations.
Commissioner Christ noted that the Site Committee also expressed a concern
that the unit which is to be retained be completed before the other
homes. The applicant has basically agreed to this stipulation.
Chairman Fairbanks noted that alternative street improvements do not
necessarily mean substandard improvements, --a cement driveway is
allo~aabl.e. She asked for a review of the alternative street improvement
policy.
P'lr. Helms provided this review, noting, that the policy allows for
materials which can be used in-lieu of portland cement.
Considerable discussion ensued regarding the type of street improvements
-- to be provided for this subdivision. It was noted by Commissioner Kasolas
that the asphalt creates a maintenance problem, the sites can be provided
with better drainage with standard improvements, and concrete would be
cleaner for the homeowner. Commissioner Christ noted that it was the Site
Cormittee who brought the issue of improvements up to the developer.
Additionally, the Architectural Advisor expressed a concern about the
driveway placements and the aesthetics of the street if alternative
improvements are used. Standard improvements would allow for
substantially more on-street parkin;.
:ir. take Younl;, applicant, requested standard street improvements as
explained by Commissioner Christ.
ttr. Lee Peterson, 1156 Audrey Ave.., noted that this project appeared to be
the best he has seen for this parcel so far. Hog?ever, he indicated that
there are still a fe~a problems. First, the original provision for sale of
this property assured that there would be no two-story homes built.
Although the setbacks are good for the most part, he questioned if
two-story homes were necessary--particularly on Lot ~~4. :~1r. Peterson
continued that there is a traffic problem in this area, with a relatively
blind corner and increased traffic. Recently installed storm drains
modified t11e corner making it easier for cars to cut across the corner.
He as'.ced that something be done to keep the cars from cutting across the
-4-
corner. Regarding alternative street improvements, I-ir. Peterson prefers
earth colored concrete to asphalt, and is definitely opposed to white
concrete. He also expressed a problem with not allowing a rolled curb, -
notinr; that this is a cul-de-sac with little traffic, and a rolled curb
would be pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Lastly, Iir. Peterson asked if
the street had to be named Oburn Court.
rlr. I:ee explained that the name went with the tentative subdivision map,
any to change the name would involve a re-submittal of this map.
':r. helms stated that Staff is opposed to rolled curbs as well as colored
concrete.
Con**~issioner Dickson felt that a piece of information was missing, namely
an aerial or overhead of the surroundini; area to show the layout of
existing; in reference to the proposed. ~Ie asked that an aerial be
provided at the next meeting for information purposes.
Corrnissioner Christ noted that the layout of the new homes in relation to
the surrounding homes was the first thing the Site Committee looked at,
and the Committee was impressed Faith the developers attempt to maintain
the setbacks and the privacy, with most of the structures are 20-30' from
adjoining property lines.
sir. Lothar Shicker, 1092 Lucot Way, asked about the fence line on the east
side of the development, the height of the second story on Lot ~~4, the
access to the former park, the access during the construction process, and
the fencing policy.
Staff responded that the height of the second story is 22' from grade to
peal:; the access easements would be abandoned according to Condition 14 of
the Tentative Subdivision tiap approval, and the subdivider is required to
provide fencing. Fencing would be constructed as each lot is developed.
It is Staff's understanding that all the homes would be built at the same
time, however, the construction period could extend over a year's time and
the fencing would not be the first thing to go up.
Pi/S: Kasolas, Christ - That the Planninh Commission approve S
85-13 subject to the conditions
indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet, as
well as the stipulation that the
existing unit to be retained be
completed before any permits are issued
for the new homes; and, that after
considering alternative street
improvements, the Planning Commission
recommends the installation of standard
street improvements for this
development.
-5-
Discussian of ''lotion
Commissioner Christ again noted his concern about the improvements in the
area where the court will meet the existing street, hoping that Public
- ~lorlcs would see to it that there will be some type of blending between the
different types of improvements.
Commissioner Perrine commented on the excellent work of the Site
Committee.
Chairman Fairbanks stated that her own particular bias is to go cJith
alternative street improvements. Although she likes what is being done on
this site, and the way the developer has responded to the area`s
concerns. Hocaever, because of the inclusion of the street improvement
issue in the motion, she stated that she would be speaking against the
motion.
Vote on i~totion
notion carried. with a vote of 4-2-1,
with Commissioner Olszewski and
Fairbanks voting "no" and Commissioner

Cor~iissioner Olszecrslci expressed a concern iritil the proposed Unit Type A
acco„immodatinR one bedroom and a loft, faith the loft possibly being used as
a bed.roorl, thereby causing potential parking, problems.
There was discussion regarding the parking ratio, the type of parl:ina
spaces provided, and the areas where the spaces are to be provided.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing; and invited anyone in the
audience to spew:: for or against this item.
*:r. Jim Parissenti, 125A l;edding Rd., noted his concern with the location
of the scaimmina pool suggesting that it be put by Hoffman Lane rattier than
adjacent to residences in his development. lr. Parissenti continued that
tale visual effect of the proposed units, fron Orcltarci Viei•r Toianhomes, will
be a lame white and gray wall;. that the parkin; provided is inadequate;
that some of the driveways are extremely close to the street and not very
aesthetic; and that the site layout is not very creative, creating a
"tunnel" effect. Additionally, he suggested that future development be
provided faith heavier on-site roadiaays due to rapid breakdoim caused by
trash trucks.
ISr. Andre ?~olezsl;i, 1258 Redding I.d., asked for a definition of tocanhomes,
and expressed his concern about the proposed tandem parkin;.
^'..r. 'dark Bees, 133A Redding ?'.d., President of Orchard View townhories,
noted the petition presented to the Commission at a former neetin;. IIe
stated that the honeoimers are concerned crith the removal of existing
trees, crith the setl~acl_s on the western property line, two-story units
abuttina_ tiro-story units, the pool fro,a a noise standpoint, par_•cing on
':edding i;d., nar?;.ing alonrt the street as it relates to visual safety, and
tandem par':cin,; bac'~:-up distances.
PIr. °rad Loi.*en, 1390 ?loffman Lane, reaffirmed his previously expressed
concerns about privacy and requested an ~' fence with the addition of tall
landscaninry along the northerly property line. He also stated his concern
faith available parking, noting that other developments in the area have
inac'_equate parkins. t'r. Lowen stated that he is pleased with the
reca:~mendation for no parking on Iloffnan Lane. ____
-9-
1'r. Brad '.:un~el responded to concerns expressed by area residents. The
tande~,~ parkin; provides more usuable parking for guests; ^v0,a of the trees
over 12" are being saved; CC&P,'s will be provided for the units addressing
the exterior maintenance as well as the pool (noise and annoyances); an 3'
fence will be provided for the northerly property line; and, the unit
mixture has been changed along the northerly property line to reduce the
nualber of two-stor;~ units.
:Ir. IIees recommended an ~' fence along the westerly property line, as well
as tall landscaping, to provide privacy for the adjacent residents.
;:/S: L:asolas, Christ - That the public hearing on ZC 35-06 be
closed. *totion carried unanimously
(6-0-1).
Discussion
Commissioner Dickson asked if an 8' fence glom; the westerly property line
would be a problem.
tfr. Kee responded that the property o~mers who are in existing units at
Orchard View may have an objection to such a high fence, especially when
the sunlight is affected. I.1r. I:ee noted that he would be very careful
~~ith recommending an 8' fence along that property line, unless the people
were contacted and were in agreement.
Commissioner Kasolas added that the policy is for a 6' fence, and only in
extraordinary cases has an 8' fence be allowed, because the 8' fence
really provides a tunnel effect as well as affecting light. Commissioner
Kasolas continued that with the CC&R's, location of pool equipment, and
landscaping in the area, the pool will be a self-policing situation.
Commissioner Dickson asl.ed Ifr. Bees if he represented the homeowners who
would be affected by an 8' fence in the adjoining townhouse development.
Pir. Hees indicated that he represent these residents, and they would be in
agreement with an 8' fence.
if/S: Perrine, Kasolas - That the Planning Commission recommend
that the City Council accept the
tlegative Declaration which .has been

Comment Sheet, with a change in
Condition i3o. 2 regarding fencing to
provide for an 3' fence along the
northerly property line, and a 6' fence

along the westerly property line; and,
tall landscaping provided along bot;i
property lines to soften impacts on
residents, fencing and landscaping plan
to come bacl: to Staff for approval.
Discussion of notion
Commissioner Christ stated that he would be speaking against the motion
because he has some strong concerns about project density, and parking.
Five of the units do not have tandem parking, and there is no off-site
parl;in~ provided for guests.
Commissioner Dickson stated that he would normally be against this type of
project because of the density; however, the applicant has done a great
deal to maximize amenities and has provided an exceptional plan.
Commissioner "ictcson noted that he was amazed at the number of items that
were channec', to address the neighbors com-nents, as well as the number of
existinb~ trees to be retained.

Commissioner Kasolas reported that this item was considered by the Site
and Architectural P.eview Committee. The applicant is withdrawing the
application because of potential traffic hazards. The Committee is
recom-~endinP that a portion of the application fee be refunded in that the
problem of no left-turn lane is not of the applicant's doing.

ted a preliminary plan indicating 18 single family,
which would result in a density of 9 units per gross
i4r. I:ee continued that although there is some justification for the
requested change, as discussed in the Staff Comment Sheet, Staff cannot
support the proposal based on the San Tomas. Area Policy and the previous
Council actions in the area. Clearly the proposed increase in density is
not consistent with this policy.
Cor~issioner :{asolas asked if the development across the street has
improved one-half the street; if there have been any problems from the
density across the street; if the subject parcels are two lots away from
existing commercial uses; and, if Staff is making their recommendation
from a planning basis or a policy basis.
2'[r. Kee responded that developrent is required for street improvements;
Staff is not at~~are of any complaints about ttie development across the
street the subject parcels are t~•ao lots away from existing commercial;
and, density is a policy decision adopted by the City Council. This area
has been revie~•red many times, and ori?inally Staff supported a low-medium
density; ho-•rever, the recommendation was changed to low density as a
result of public hearings.
Co...,issioner Dickson noted that this area has been studied two or three
times, and the reason for the current zoning is that the neighborhood came
forward in full force to request to low density.
-12
Cormsissioner Y.asolas noted the lo;a-medium density project on San Tomas
Aquino ..^.d, which backs up to this parcel, and recalled that Host property
owners on Smith Ave. have requested low-medium density. Additionally, the -~
Plannins Commission has recently requested the Council to revie;a the San `
Torras Policy.
Commissioner Christ stated that t11e issue is not whether the property
should be developed, but rather at iahat densit?~--re~ardless of street
improvements.
Chairman I'airbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
2ir. Alan Pinn, applicant, explained that the economics of development
would matte lour density horses cost over $200,000 for this niece of
property. ;,rith the low-medium density, he is actually as':;ing for an
increase of 5 homes over the current maximum. I:r. Pins continued that
this is a prime area for the development of 3/4 bedroom homes, and that
this type of housing structure would fit well into the community.
*is. Stephanie Olsen, £398 Torero Plaza, spoke in favor of the increased
density, notin she would like to see the area developed, and the
moderately priced homes would be an asset to the community.
rir. Ton Paolucci, 1134 Linda Dr., spoke in favor of development, as well
as noted his concerns caith the traffic in the area. 2•ir. Paolucci
indicated that he had written a letter over a year ago, with no solution
as yet. 1%e asked for a study of the traffic flow in the area, and
submitted a letter regarding the area traffic and asked for support.
Additionally, tlr. Paolucci felt that the commercial area nearby should not
be considered commercial because it is not being; used as such.
11r, helms responded that the traffic impact of this proposal has not been
loo'.ced at in that a specific plan has not been submitted; however, Staff
is of the opinion that the difference between low density and low medium
density would not be significant enou;h to warrant a traffic report.
Pir. Doug Almack, 1154 Smith Ave., spoke in favor of the proposed density
notin; that the area looks impoverished and he felt the only solution is
development; and, that he is in complete concurrence caith 2~1r. Pinn's
initial renderings. tfr. Almack recalled that when rezoning was done, the
property o;•mers came enmasse to support the higher density.
Pi/S: Christ, Olszewski - That the public hearing for GP 85-02 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(6-0-1).
2",/S: Kasolas, Perrine - That the Planning Commission recommend
that the City Council accept the
ldegative Declaration which has been
prepared for this project; and, that the
Planning Commission adopt a resolution
recommending that the City Council
approve GP 85-02.

Discussion on Iiotion
Commissioner Christ stated that he is in agreement with the need for
development in this area, and he could support changing some commercial
areas to residential; however, he felt that the proposed number of units
was inappropriate for the area, and would be speaking against the motion.
Commissioner I:asolas felt that it is important that the Council take
action to revieca the San Tomas Report, particularly in light of comments
made this evenin and the fact that this area needs help now.
Commissioner I:asolas also noted a minority report that was presented,but
never published,on the San Tomas area.
Commissioner Olszewski stated that the views expressed by the residents
say it all; however, he is a little concerned that the density will cause
a problem that may perpetuate. Iiowever, this could ber looked at later,
since the issue this evening is for the General Plan chance only.
Commissioner Dicl:son stated that the zoning is not a result of the San
Tomas Tasl; Force report, but rather a result of hearings held. He
continued that he would be in favor of having study session in the area to
see what the residents wish. At this point he saw a property owner and a
speculative property owner speaking for increased density.

Tentative Subdivision flap to create 12
sin ;le family lots on the southerly
portion of 700 l~icGlincey Lane in an
P.-1-6 (Single Family P.esidential/Low
Density) Zoning District.
i•1r. I:ee reviecaed this application, noon; that Staff is recommending that
a 6' masonry caall be constructed along the northerly property line of the
subdivision. This is a standard requirement where residential uses abut
industrial or commercial uses, and it would provide some sound mitigation
as indicated in the noise study. The Commission should be aware that this
same map (with an exception to allow two lots less than 6,000 sq.ft.) coas
recommended by the Cormission in 198:0 (Commissioners Dickson and Fairbanks
voting; "no"). The Council subsequently approved the map, which has since
expired.
Commissioner Olszecaski inquired about the noise study, particularly the
sound levels.
I4r. Stafford referred to the study done by F. L. Paclc Associates, page 3.
Commissioner I:asolas noted that it would appear that once a wall is
constructed and a landscaping buffer installed, the noise level will be
even less because of the buffering.
Chairman Fairban's opened t17e public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Coruaissioner Olszewski expressed concern about the proposed development
being between a recyclin; center and a construction yard, in that both
these uses are inherently noisy and considerable time has been spent
discussing the noise that the area residents have been subjected to.
Cor.~missioner Dickson noted that the study concludes, on page 4, that no
noise problems exist--erhat more could be asked.
Commissioner l;asolas added that Pack Associates is a noted authority in
sound studies, and both :•ir. and ?irs. Pack have served on Campbell's
Planning Commission so they are aware of the community's needs.

Planning Commission find this tentative
map is consistent caith the General Plan
and recommend that the City Council
approve TS 85-05, subject conditions as
indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet.
Commissioner Kasolas asked if he should abstain on this application,
noting a law suit filed by the applicant which named some of the
commissioners .
Dir. Jim Chalmers, 786 ticGlincey Ln., stated that the law suit was not from
T•?. L. Chalmers, but rather Bay Area P.ecycling.
?ir. Seligmann clarified that the subject legal action was in suit, and W.
L. Chalmers was a real party in that suit; however, commissioners present
are not parties to that suit any longer, therefore, abstention is not
necessary.

Canbanit F.equest of Alcanco to place a "canbank"
on property known as 855 S. San Tomas

Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending approval,
subject to a chan;e in the location. The recommendation is that the
canbank be moved into one of the parking stalls at t1~e center, in that it
seems more appropriate if cars can park next to the unit. The plans
provide for some landscaping around the unit. One suggestion would be to
locate the canbanl; somew':iere near the existing landscaping in the center

Mr. Larry Hester

400 Industrial Street
Campbell, CA 95008
Dear Mr. Hester:
Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. has conducted a cursory analysis of the proposed
warehouse development located at 86 Railway Avenue in Campbell, California. The
results of our analysis are presented in this letter.
The site is located near the intersection of Railway Avenue and Orchard City Drive
and is surrounded by primarily light industrial uses. The project as proposed is
compatible with the surrounding land uses..
The proposed project size is 3,825 square feet of warehouse space. Applying trip
generation rates obtained from trip generation studies conducted by Caltrans, it is
estimated that the project will generate approximately 18 trips per day with 3
occurring during the PM peak hour. The addition of these trips will have a negligable
impact on the operation of the streets of Campbell
The width of Railway Avenue (one-way) along the site is 16 feet. The width of
Railway Avenue and the proposed 26-foot driveway can accommodate single unit
trucks up to thirty feet in length. Due to the size and nature of the project, it is
unlikely that larger trucks would use the site.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the results of our analysis, please do
not hesitate to call
Sincerely,
BARYON-ASCHMAN ASSOCIATES, INC.
