PUBLIC HEARINGS
PM 85-04
That S 85-03 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of March 26,
1985. Motion carried unanimously
(7-0-0).
Tentative Parcel Map - Lands of Tersigni
- 1295 Harriet Avenue - APN 403-19-009.
Mr. Kee reviewed the application for the Commission, noting that the
applicant is requesting approval of a tentative parcel map to allow the
creation of three single-family lots. Each of the proposed lots satisfy
the minimun area of 9000 sq.ft. as specified in the R-1-9 zoning district
in which the development is located. Additionally, the proposed density
of 3.37 units per gross acre is consistent with the General Plan
designation for this area.
Chairman Fairbanks asked about street improvements for the corner.
Mr. Helms indicated that there would be a requirement that standard street
improvements be installed across the frontages of the parcels in
accordance with the ordinances of the City. Hacienda would be in accord
with the residential standards, and Harriet might be eligible for the
alternative street improvements.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Dave McCurdy, 1292 Freda Ct., spoke in favor of the proposed
subdivision, noting that it would improve the neighborhood.
M/S: Kasolas, Howard - That the public hearing for PM 85-04 be
closed. Motion carried unanimously
(7-0-0) .

Salvador, J. the application of Mr. Joe Salvador for
approval of a use permit to allow the
construction of a parking lot and
storage yard on property known as 238 &
246 Railway Avenue in a PD (Planned
Development/Industrial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was considered by the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. In addressing the concerns expressed by
Staff and the Committee, the applicant has agreed to the red-lining of the
presented plans which increase parking and landscaping. Therefore, the
Committee is recommending approval.

TA 85-02 Public hearing to consider a
City-initiated text amendment to Chapter
21.19 (Additional Living Units) of the
Campbell Municipal Code.
Mr. Stafford reviewed this item for the Commission, noting that it is
Staff's understanding that the Commission is concerned about two
provisions of the Ordinance: 1) height; and 2) the requirements that the
main dwelling may not be expanded more than 108 to accommodate an
additional living unit. The proposed amendment would prohibit two-story
detached units, but would allow a secondary living unit on the second
floor of the main house. Regarding the expansion, Staff recommends that
the 108 requirement for expansion be deleted and that instead the maximum
size requirement of 640 sq.ft. for detached units also be applied to
attached units.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.

the Campbell Municipal Code as indicated
in Exhibit A of the Staff Comment Sheet
(attached hereto).
Discussion of Motion
Commissioner Kasolas stated that he would be voting against the motion.
He expressed a concern as to whether or not the Commission has taken the
right approach to this issue, that it appears that this issue came up
based upon one particular second story dwelling unit. Commissioner
Kasolas spoke in favor of "granny flats" in that he felt this type of
housing is needed.
Commissioner Christ felt that the changes proposed would actually increase
the eligible amount of square footage for a secondary living unit. The
only thing being restricted is the height.
Commissioner Kasolas felt that what is happening now is that granny flats
are being limited to a portion of the City, and being restricted even
further.
Vote on Motion
AYES: Commissioners: Perrine, Christ, Howard, Toshach, Dickson,
Fairbanks
NOES: Commissioners: Kasolas
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
EIR 84-04 Public hearing to consider the Draft
Prometheus Dev. Co. Environmental Impact Report (EIR) which
has been prepared for an office and
hotel complex which is proposed to be
located at 920 E. Hamilton Avenue in a
PD (Planned Development) Zoning
District.
Mr. Stafford reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the
Commission .
Commissioner Kasolas asked in what position the City would be left if this
EIR is certified as complete, and for one reason or another, certain
assumptions made in the EIR do not come to fruition.
-6-
Mr. Stafford stated that measures contained in the EIR would be made
conditions of approval and would be required as part of Phase I prior to
occupancy. If these conditions are not met, then the project would be
back to square one, or the developer would have to ask the City to
reconsider it's position.
Commissioner Toshach expressed concerns about the reflectivity of the
glass purposed in the building materials (what effect on the environment,
and direction of reflections); provision for pedestrian traffic on
Hamilton Avenue; vehicle flow (trip origins/destinations); and, the
validity of the presented 10.5 trip ends per hotel room--with one parking
space per room.
Mr. Gerry DeYoung, Ruth & Going, Inc., explained that the architects have
chosen to use reasonably non-reflective glass for this project, thereby
providing a minimal impact on the surrounding area. Mr. DeYoung continued
that although he is unable to answer specific questions relative to light,
he can say that there will be some downward reflection.
Commissioner Toshach noted that at high noon the downward glare could be
significant, and he is concerned with the impact on the community. In
that the EIR does present a mitigation measure, there is no basis for
making a judgement on what effect the mitigation measure will have.
Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Jeff Damon, Barton-Aschman Associates, responding to the pedestrian
traffic issue, noted that although not designed yet, the bridge over the
creek will be widened and the pedestrian walkway will be removed at this
location. Pedestrians will be forced to cut across the street to proceed
on Hamilton Avenue, thereby prohibiting pedestrian traffic on one side of
Hamilton Avenue in this area.
Mr. Damon indicated, in reference to the 10.5 trip ends per day with one
parking space per hotel room, that the 10.5 trips would be one vehicle
making 10.5 trips in or out of the development during the day. This
information is. derived from Cal-Trans standard literature. Trip
distribution for the hotel was determined by looking at the general
geographic area, and it is felt that a significant amount of hotel traffic
will come from the north (Silicon Valley area); and, for the office uses,
we looked at the future growth for the residential areas.
Commissioner Toshach asked about the reference in the EIR to Poisson
distribution, and challenged the assumption that the distribution is
Poisson.
Mr. Damon explained that the Poisson manner is a standard statistical
traffic engineering tool used nationwide.
-~-
Mrs. Garnetta Annabel, 951 Dry Creek Rd., representing the Cambrian
Village Homeowner's Association, stated that it is the opinion of the
Association that the proposed project is, in all its essential features,
the same as the development which was repealed with the referendum. They
asked that the EIR not be accepted on those grounds. If the mitigation
measures were not adequate last year, they are not adequate this year.
Additionally, it is felt that the EIR doesn't address queuing on Hwy. 17
between Hwy. 280 and Hamilton Avenue southbound trying to exit and go east
on Hamilton if another light is put between Bascom and Salmar. Mrs.
Annabel concluded that she did not think a project of this size could be
considered without adding another lane on Hwy. 17 between Hamilton and
Hwy. 280.
Mr. Timothy Lundell, 2060 The Alameda, San Jose, representing the Hamilton
Park Mobilehome Owners Association, cited from his letter (attached
hereto) sent to Ruth & Going regarding the EIR. Mr. Lundell stated that
he felt it appropriate that the EIR be amended regarding housing
displacement; and, that the issue of any noticing given by the property
owners is questionable at best, and the statement on page II-40 of the
report is disputed.
Mr. Ray Clarke, 325 April Way, reviewed his concerns regarding the EIR as
presented in a memorandum (attached hereto) to the Commission. Mr. Clarke
added that a written committment is essential from Cal-Trans for
northbound off-ramp at eastbound exit of the development. Finally, he
referred to the letter in the Commission's packet from the City of San
Jose (attached hereto)--item nos. 3, 4, 6, 10, and 11. Mr. Clarke
requested that consideration be given to not approving this EIR until such
time as it satisfies the concerns expressed.
Mr. Marv Rothman, 50 N. Midway Ave., stated that history is repeating
itself, and cited the Ainsley development as an example. He noted that
the traffic was at a maximum level when the Ainsley project was approved
by the City of San Jose, and they approved it anyway. He felt it would
behoove people to research the records. Mr. Rothman also felt that the
issue of noise pollution was not adequately addressed.
Mrs. Lorraine Holland, 40 N. Midway, spoke regarding the air quality in
the valley. She read from an article published in the San Jose Mercury
News on February 23, 1985 indicating that the problems of over-crowding,
traffic, and high housing costs is making this a bad area to live and
work. Mrs. Holland felt that the EIR does not address the lead content in
the air (citing a letter from the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District, attached hereto). Further, Mrs. Holland felt that traffic is a
tremendous problem in the area, and she did not see how someone could say
that it could be controlled. She felt that a stand should be made, and
that this project should be denied.
-8-
Commissioner Kasolas asked what assurances would be given that Phases I
and II would, in fact, be built, noting that he did not see any fiscal
impact report, financial analysis, or references made to Highway 85 and
the light rail issue in the EIR. Commissioner Kasolas continued that he
felt there were a lot of fears as to whether or not this project would be
a benefit to the community; and, at this time, he felt a little
uncomfortable with this EIR and would feel better if these issues could be
addressed.
Commissioner Toshach asked for further clarification on the shared parking
issue.
Mr. Damon explained that these figures are presented in Table 7, page 20.
There has been•a fairly large study nationwide which looks at shared
developments, parking considerations, and types of synergisms. This study
was done under the auspices of the ULA, and shows assumptions made from
types of land uses. Mr. Damon continued that he has looked at basically
every major office development in the southbay area. Regarding Highway
85--at the time the report was prepared it is not certain what was going
to happen with this issue. Regarding the light rail issue--it was
recently learned that this is now the third priority listed with the
County; however, when the report was prepared it was nothing but a plan
line. Frankly, things are occuring faster than the EIR would indicate.
Commissioner Toshach asked about Table 6, page II-64, which is used to
support an assumption that average parking. demand is three spaces per 1000
net leasable square footage.
Mr. Damon noted that this was the case. The assumption is suggesting the
three spaces, with a 15~ conservative factor, which Barton-Aschman feels
quite comfortable with.
Mr. DeYoung noted that, regarding the fiscal issue, page II-32 mentions
the benefits of this project to the City. Since the project is in a
redevelopment area it would generate tax increment monies in the amount of
$1.3 million dollars on the entire complex. Additionally, if and when the
hotel is built, the City will realize an additional $350,000 in occupancy
taxes.
Commissioner Kasolas felt that there was not sufficient amount of
information in this area, and asked how the figures were arrived at. He
noted that he would like some assurances that these uses are feasible for
this area. Is a hotel going to be built, and what basis/method is being
used to come up with these figures.
-9-
Mr. DeYoung responded that the EIR is certainly based on a whole set of
assumptions. Certainly the consulting firm has no way of knowing whether
~_~ or not the developer intends to built the project. The consultants
typically deal with "worst cases" that the project could cause for the
area. Regarding the fiscal impact--this is based totally on the square
footage of the project and its future value. Since it is in a
redevelopment area, the City will continue to accrue tax increments, and
this is where the $1.3 millon dollars comes from. Regarding Phase I and
Phase II, the consultants have no way of knowing if a project is going to
be constructed. Ruth & Going tries to present, as the City's consultants,
things that would happen if the project is built out at a maximum
capacity.
Commissioner Dickson referred to the letter received from the City of San
Jose, and a letter received from Mr. Lynton Baker (attached hereto), and
asked that the issues raised in these letter be addressed before the EIR
is certified as completed.
M/S: Dickson, Kasolas - That EIR 84-04 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of April 9,
1985, in order that issues. discussed
this evening, as well as issues raised
in correspondence received, be addressed
in the EIR.
Discussion on Motion:
Mr. DeYoung indicated that discussion would be needed with Staff to
determine level of detail; however, Ruth & Going is prepared to respond as
soon as the information is received.
Commissioner Christ noted the changes in the status of Route 85 and light
rail, and asked that they be taken into account in the report.
Commissioner Toshach stated that there are a number of questions about the
assumptions that were made in the report. He felt that the assumptions
that were made should be explicitedly laid out--where there are
assumptions used, he would like some idea as to what risk is associated
with accepting those assumptions.
Mr. Dempster noted that the Commission may wish to take into consideration
the issue of closing the public hearing or continuing the public hearing.
If the public hearing is not closed and the answers to issues brought up
this evening are brought back to the Commission, then other items are
brought up under the public hearing, this matter could go on forever.
Commissioner Dickson stated that this might be appropriate at the next
meeting. He felt that the public should not be excluded as yet.
Commissioner Kasolas stated his agreement with Commission Dickson.

Vote on Motion:
The motion for continuance to the meeting of April 9, 1985, passed
unanimously (7-0-0).

MISCELLANEOUS
Request Continued request for clarification of
height restrictions in the P-O
(Professional Office) Zoning District -
Mr. H. J. Rubinstein.
Mr. Kee reviewed this request for the Commission, and noted that Staff is
recommending the policy indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet be adopted.
Commissioner Toshach expressed a concern regarding the housing of
mechanical equipment on the top of the 2-1/2 stories allowable in a P-O
Zoning District since the P-O District frequently abuts residential areas.
Mr. Kee indicated that any development in the P-O Zoning District must go
through site and architectural review. There are cases when a 2-1/2 story
structure could fit within the 35' limit. The mechanical equipment could
be hidden below the roof line.
Commissioner Toshach pointed out that there could be 35' to the top of the
roof, with another 15' wall to hide the mechanical equipment; thereby
having a building which is 50' tall. He felt that this is not what the
City wants--that the total height in this zoning district, including
mechanical equipment, should not exceed 35'.
Commissioner Kasolas asked how the figure of 35' was arrived at.
Mr. Kee noted that this was an arbitrary figure; however, it has some
bearing to the normal height of walls (12').
Commissioner Toshach indicated that he believed Staff is in the process of
studying this 35' figure and a report is due back to the Commission in the
near future.
M/S: Kasolas, Perrine - That the Planning Commission clarify the
height restrictions in the Professional
Office Zoning District by adopting the
following policy:
"The maximum height for proposed developments in the P-O
(Professional Office) Zoning District shall be no more
than two and one-half stories (2-1/2). The two and one-half
stories shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in height.
Roof equipment structures for the housing of elevators,
stairways, tanks, ventilating fans or similar equipment
required to operate and maintain the building, parapet walls,
skylights, and similar structures may be erected above the
height limit herein prescribed, but no roof structure or any
space above the height limit shall be allowed for the purpose
of providing additional floor space."
-12-
Discussion on Motion
Commission Toshach stated that he would be voting against the motion in
that he felt the maximum height should be 35' because of his concern
expressed earlier that the mechanical equipment could add substantially to
the height of the building.
Commissioner Dickson noted he would also be opposing the motion for the
same reason as Commissioner Toshach.
Mr. Tom Libs, partner of Mr. Rubinstein, asked for the reason behind the
2-1/2 story height restriction.
Mr. Kee responded that it is the intent of the ordinance that 2-1/2
stories be the limit and that they be kept within a 35' height limit.
Exhibit A of the Staff Comment Sheet outlines three possibilities in which
2-1/2 stories could work. The policy of the City, as adopted by the
Council, is for 35' or 2-1/2 stories. This policy was adopted to keep the
height down. There is no physical reason for this restriction, although
one rational is that small offices are usually abutting residential areas,
and the height restriction in the residential areas is also 2-1/2 stories
or 35'.
Commissioner Dickson explained that there has been a great deal of
discussion on height, and enough concern was indicated to cause the
Council to adopt a policy. The Commission is implementing that adopted
policy.
Commissioner Kasolas added that this rule is part of the General Plan for
the City. Again the issue this evening would be if mechnical equipment is
to be included in the 35' height restriction, or if can be added to the
top of the 35'.
Vote on Motion
Motion for approval of Staff recommendation passed with a vote of 4-3-0,
with Commissioners Howard, Toshach, and Dickson voting "no".
MM 85-03 Continued Tentative Parcel Map - Lands
Lands of Water of Water Tower Associates - 300 Orchard
Tower Associates City Drive - APN 413-07-062.
Mr. Kee reported that the applicant is proposing to subdivide an existing
lot into two parcels, with the proposed Parcel B being the open space
amphitheater area adjacent to the parking structure. It should. be noted
that any changes to this area must be approved by the City as part of a
new PD ordinance,
-13-
Commissioner Kasolas asked if approval of this parcel would in any way
obligate the Commission to approve development of this open space.
Mr. Dempster stated that the Commission may wish to add a condition-that
the applicant submit a letter indicating that it is his understanding that
the Commission is only approving a lot split, and nothing is indicated in
this approval for development of the newly created parcel.
Mr. Stan Davis, 300 Orchard City Drive, stated that he has tenants who are
prepared to lease space if there is a possibility of expansion in the
future; and he is about to get a final loan on the property, and there is
no way that a lender would release space at a later date. Mr. Davis
continued that any conditions the Commission wished to place on the
approval would be fine with him.
Commissioner Toshach asked about the history of the dedication of this
area for open space.
Mr. Kee indicated that the subject area was approved as part of the
Planned Development Permit, and the plans are a part of the ordinance.
The open space goes all the way back to the beginning of The Factory, and
was not specifically asked to be open space by the Commission or the
Council.
M/S: Perrine, Howard - That the Planning Commission approve PM
85-03, subject to the condition that the
applicant submit a letter to the City
Attorney indicating that it is his
understanding that the Commission is
only approving a lot split, and nothing
is indicated in this approval for
development of the newly created
parcel. Motion carried unanimously
(7-0-0).
MM 84-14 Request for extension of approval
Extension allowing the use of trailers - 110 W.
Latimer Ave. - Our Mother of Perpetual
Help Chapel.
Mr. Kee reviewed this request for the Commission, noting that it has been
the City's policy to allow trailers only as a temporary office use in
conjunction with a construction project, however, this approval was an
exception. In general, trailers do not meet the City's architectural
design standards and the City wants permanent, well-designed buildings.
Mr. Kee continued that Staff can only recommend an extension for a period
- of six months in order that the applicant has some time to remove the
trailers. It should be noted that Staff is not aware of any parking or
other problems associated with the trailers.
-14-
Mr. Richard A. Hern, representing the church, stated that the church is
using the trailers for classroom instruction and choir practice. The
church has a building fund and is trying to find a permanent site, however
this is out of the question at this time.
The Commission made several motions and amendments, each with a different
length of time for the extension. Each of these motions and amendments
failed or died. The motion which passed follows:
M/S: Howard, Perrine - That the Planning Commission grant a
six-month extension with no attached
conditions.. Motion carried with the
following roll call vote:
Discussion of Motion
Commissioner Perrine noted that he strongly believed in religious freedom;
however, he felt that the church should do it's best to seek a better
environment for it's teachings.
Chairman Fairbanks stated that she would be speaking in favor of the
motion, although she has voted no on previous motions. Although the
applicant has not abused the use of these trailers, the City's policy is
that trailers are temporary, and perhaps this extension will allow the
applicant an opportunity to dispose of them.
Commissioner Dickson noted that there has been a great deal of discussion
over the years regarding the placement of trailers being a temporary use,
and he cannot support the motion.
Vote on Motion:
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Perrine, Christ, Howard,
Toshach, Fairbanks
NOES: Commissioners: Dickson
ABSENT: Commissioners: None.
SA 85-06 Continued sign request - Hancock Fabric
Hancock Fabric Warehouse Warehouse - 651 W. Hamilton Ave. - PD
(Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning
District.
Mr. Kee reported that a request for continuance has been received from the
applicant.
M/S: Christ, Kasolas - That SA 85-06 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of March 26,
1985 at the applicant's request. Motion
carried unanimously (7-0-0).
-15-
SA 85-10 Signing request - All-Car Automotive -
Haskell, S. 150 Gilman Avenue.
Commissioner Christ reported that this item was before the Site and
Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is of the opinion that
there is a definite need for the signage as requested because of the
location of the business. The Committee did recommend the addition of the
address numbers to the sign, and is recommending approval.
M/S: Perrine, Christ - That SA 85-10 be approved subject to the
addition of the address numbers to the
signage, as well as the applicant
obtaining any necessary permits from the
Building Department; and, the applicant
submitting proof to the Planning
Department that the sign will not
overhang the adjacent property, or that
permission from the adjacent property
owner is obtained to allow the sign to
overhang the property. Motion carried
unanimously (7-0-0).
MM 85-06 Application of Mr. Ken Baker, on behalf
Baker, K. of Travelers Financial Services, for a
modification of approved plans to allow
the conversion of three racquetball
courts to a weight room, child care, and
stretching room in the existing Family
Fitness Center on property known as 577
Salmar Avenue in a C-2-S (General
Commercial) Zoning District.
Mr. Kee reviewed this application for the Commission, noting that Staff is
of the opinion that the uses are compatible with the racquetball/handball
center; and, Staff is recommending approval, subject to conditions
indicated in the Staff Comment Sheet.
Mr. Jerry Sunie, Travelers Financial Services, noted that the company is
not going to continue use of the day care facility, so that particular
condition will be void.
M/S: Kasolas, Howard - That MM 85-06 be approved, subject to
condition indicated in the Staff Comment
Sheet (attached hereto). Motion carried
unanimously (7-0-0).
