San Tomas Aquino Road in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Dickson reported that this item was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. T7ie applicant has addressed concerns previously expressed by Staff and the Co~runittee. Additionally, there had been some dis- cussion regarding the signing on this site; however, the City Attorney has since advised Staff that the section of the Sign Ordinance pertaining to non- conforming signs would allow this existing sign to remain, and therefore this condition has been deleted. The plans present that approximately 8% of the site will be landscaped, whereas there is currently no landscaping on the site. There was brief discussion regarding the conditions of the Fire Department; the large trucks blocking traffic movement on-site; and, the percentage of landscaping provided. Additionally, t3ie Commission expressed the hope that with the enlarging of the building, it would not be necessary for outdoor sales to be held on this site. Commissioner Campos noted that this site has a severe drainage problem to the rear of the existing building.

Mr. Kee reviewed this application for the Commission, noting that Staff is recommending approval subject to conditions as listed in the Staff Comment Sheet. Commissioner Meyer asked if there would now be two uses being carried on inside the service bays of this building. -3- Chairman Fairbanks asked if all the conditions required under the previous use permit have been met. Dir. Kee responded that it is his understanding that these conditions have been completed. It was moved by Corrur-issioner Kasolas, and seconded by Commissiorer-•nickson, that the Planning Commnission approve I~9 83-17, subject to conditions listed in ttie Staff Continent Sheet as well as the previous conditions of approval required under UP 81-06.

Commissioner Dickson reported that this item was before the Site and Architectural Review Committee, and the Committee is recommending a continuance in that revised plans have not been submitted. Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. No one wisli.ing to speak at this time, it was moved by Commissioner Howard, and seconded by Cornntissioner Meyer, that UP 83-17 be continued to the Planning Commission meeti.~zg of Jariuaryl4, 1984 in order that revised plans may be subnu tted.

Dir. Kee stated that Staff is recommending a continuance of this item in order that further study of Cristich Lane may be undertaken. Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing, and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item.

Diction carried unanimously (6-0-0). ~ ~ ~ -4- UP 83-19 Public hearing to consider the application of Nis. Gosling, K. Kelcie Gosling, on behalf of Sambo's Restaurants, Inc. for a use permit to allow on-sale beer and wine in a restaurant on property known as 1461 W. Campbell Ave. (currently Season's restaurant) in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. blr. Kee reviewed this application for the Conunission noting that Staff is recommending approval subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Conur-ent Sheet. Commissioner Meyer asked, in reference to a condition stipulated by the Police Department regarding sale of beer and wine terminating at midnight, if this condition has been put on other restaurants in the area. Commissioner Kasolas asked which department imposed this condition, and on what factual basis this condition was placed. He noted that he could not see a rea- son for limiting the }lours for the sale of beer/wine, especially in this area, adding that t}iere has never been a problem in the past. Mr. Kee responded that this condition was requested by the Police Department, and he was not aware of the reasons. However, there have been problems with the sale of alcoholic beverages in several of the bars and restaurants in the City. Commissioner I~ieyer asked if Staff could investigate the reasoning behind this condition and report back to the Commission. Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Ivls. Dorot}ry Shaddock, 391 California Street, stated that she felt the City should formulate a policy as to how many family-type restaurants vs single- type restaurants should be allowed in the City. She expressed her concern for the sale of alcohol iri this restaurant because of the location of a school near-by. 141r. Saunders, 1856 Kirkmont Dr., San Jose, spoke in favor of the midnight cut-off time for t}le sale of beer/wine. He noted that most people who drink in excess do not do so in a Season's Restaurant, but rather in a bar or club. No one else wishing to speak, it was moved by Cor~ur-issioner Howard, and seconded by Commissioner Dickson, that the public hearing be closed. Motion carried un- animously (6-0-0). RESOLUTION N0. 2250 It was moved by Conunissioner Howard, and seconded by Commissioner Meyer, that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2250 approving UP 83-19, sub- ject to conditions listed in t}ie Staff Comment Sheet, and excluding the condition requiring that the sale of beer/wine shall terminate at midnight. Motion carried by the following roll call vote: -5- Discussion of l~btion Commissioner Kasolas noted that he would be speaking in favor of the motion, in t7zat he did not feel there has been a factual reason illustrated for placing a time limit on the sale of beer/wine. Additionally, he felt that this time limit would be placing the applicant at a disadvantage because there is a pizza restaurant right across the street which is not restricted in t}iis manner. He noted tiiat this application was for a use permit, and if there is a problem the Commission has t}ie authority to revoke this use permit. Commissioner Dickson stated that he would be opposing the motion, in that he felt the Commission should not so lightly remove conditions imposed by the Police Department; and, in order to grant a use permit it is necessary that the Corrn~ussion establish that said use will not be detrimental or harmful to the health, safety, peace and morals of the community, and lie felt that this could not be established. Commissioner Campos noted that he would also be opposing this motion, in that this use is surrounded by residential areas, and it is his belief that the City has had problems in the past with the sale of liquor after 2 a.m. Vote on Motion for Approval AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Meyer, Howard, Fairbanks NOES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson ABSEP~'I': Commissioners: None ~ ~ UP 83-20 Public hearing to consider the application of Mr. Strickland, L.E. L. E. Strickland for a use permit to establish a churc}i in an existing school classroom on property known as 480 E. Hamilton Avenue (Hamilton School) in a P-F (Public Facilities) Zoning District. Mr. Kee revietived this application, noting that Staff is recommending approval subject to conditions listed in the Staff Comment Sheet. Mr. Kee continued that Staff has received a call from the School District regarding the condi- tion that the parking facilities be re-striped. The Sc}iool District has in- dicated t}iat t}lis lease is for one year only, and they would prefer that the re-striping condition be reviewed at the end of the one-year time frame. The site is in litigation at this time, and the District would prefer not to do any more than necessary. T`nis request for a review of the re-striping of the parking facilities in one year-is agreeable to Staff. Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against t}lis item. No one wishing to speak, it was moved by Commissioner b~eyer, and seconded by Commissioner Kasolas, that the public hearing be closed.

Commissioner Dickson reported that 'this application was before the Site and Architectural Review Committee. Tile Committee is requesting that the follow- ing statement be added to Condition 3, thereby amending Condition 3 to read "Provision of trash container and landscaping plan indicating type and size...". He added t}iat the applicant is in agreement with the red-lining of the presented plans. The Committee is recommending approval of this application.

Motion carried with the following roll call vote: AYES: Corunissioners: Kasolas, Campos, Meyer, Howard, Dickson, Fairbanks NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commussioners: None ~ ~ ~ TS 83-09 Public Bearing to consider the application of D4r. Lands of Oburn Steven Arnold for approval of a tentative subdivision map to create ten single family parcels, and for an exception to the subdivision regulations allowing t]ie retention of an existing structure with a setback of 9', rather than 15', from a proposed street property line on properties known as 1106, 1130, and 1142 Audrey Avenue in an R1-10 (Single Family Residential, less than 3.5 units per gross acre) Zoning District. Commissioner Dickson reported that this application was before the Site and Archi- tural Review Committee. The applicant is requesting a continuance to the meeting of January 24, 1984 to consider items mentioned in the Staff Comment Sheet. Chairman Fairbanks opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. b1r. Schicker, 1098 Audrey Avenue, asked about the City's policy on the construction of fences between developments, noting that he would make it an absolute condition that fencing be constructed by the developers. Mr. Kee explained that there is no requirement on a subdivision itself for fencing. When each single family home is built, the builder would normally construct a fence if it is necessary. Mrs. Maggie Desmond, 1491 Hack Avenue, noted her disappointment that the Site and Architectural Review Committee apparently went out to the site and she had been told that they would not visit the site. She asked what the procedure is for a subdivision after it leaves the Planning Commission, as well as the procedures for voicing opinions regarding this subdivision. Mr. Kee explained the procedure that is followed for a tentative subdivision. It was noted by the Commission that it is not the procedure for the Site Committee to visit site, and this site had not been gone to by the Committee. r~fr. Lee Petersen, 1156 Audrey Avenue, expressed his concern about the type of sidewalks that would be installed in this subdivision, where the buildings would be located on site--especially the rear yard setbacks, and the building heights. He noted that 1142 Audrey is indicated to remain and he did not feel it met current building codes. -8- Mr. Kee commented that t}ie height limit in an R1 zoning district is 2-1/Z stories, ai:d that this is consistent throughout the City. Commissioner Kasolas noted that it is his understanding that the application before the Co~riission this evening is for a tentative subdivision map; and, the homes - that will eventually be located on these lots only have to conform to the zoning ordinance. Ike asked if the reason that a PD (Planned Development) zoning is some- times put on a property is so that public input can be taken regarding the develop- ment of the site. blr. Kee noted that this is correct. In an Rl zoning district, there are no public hearings. Convnissioner Dickson asked if there is any way for the Planning Commission to review plans ili the R1 district, or could they go through site review. Air. Dempster stated that he would question whether or not the Commission would want to set a policy wherein only certain subdivisions are taken to the Site Review Committee. ©iairman Fairbanks noted her concern for the privacy of the residents in this area, noting that perhaps there could be some things done with design to pre- serve tlLis privacy. hlr. Kee noted that Staff could come back to the Commission with a report on these concerns, if it was the desire of the Commission. No one else wishing to speak at tiZis time, it was moved by Commissioner Ivieyer, and seconded by Conunissioner Howard, that TS 83-09 be continued to the meeting of January 24, 1984. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0). ~ ~ ~ GP 83-09 Continued public hearing to consider possible City- City-initiated initiated text amendments to the Housing Element of the General Plan. b}r. Stafford reported that there are some additional changes which must be made to this element, and Staff is recommending a continuance of this item to the meeting of February 28, 1984. Chairman Fairbanks opened t}le public hearing and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. No one wis}iing to speak at this time, it was moved by Commissioner Howard, and seconded by Conunissioner Dickson, t}iat GP 83-09 be continued to the Planning Commissioner meeting of February 28, 1984. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-0). ~ ~ The meeting recessed at 8:57 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m. * ~ ~ S 83-13 Referral from the City Council regarding the applica- EquiReal Development tion of Nfr, Mark Disbrow, on behalf of EquiReal Develop- Referral from City ment Co Council rP•~ for approval of plans and elevations to - allow the construction of a research and development complex on property known as 535 Westchester Drive (Winchester Drive-In) in an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District. riz'. Derrrpster instructed t}ie Commission that t}ie original members who voted on this matter initially should hear the issue this evening--Commissioners Dickson, Howard, Fairbanks and Meyer. Commissioner Kasolas moved, and Commissioner Campos seconded, that this item be moved to the eiid of the agenda in order that they would not have to wait through tt~.is item in order to be present for the remainder of the agenda items, bbtion failed by tree following roll call vote: AYES: Corrnnissioners: Kasolas, Campos, Dickson NOES: Corrnnissioners: Dreyer, Howard, Fairbanks ABSENT': Commissioners: None Corrnnissioners Kasolas and Campos left the chambers at 9:07 p.m. D~'. Kee reviewed the project for the Corrur-ission, noting that the City Council re- ferred this application back to the Planning Commission for further review and recommendation regarding Condition "Q". As presently worded, this condition states that the applicant is required to "Provide additional access to the project from NkGlincey Lane along Cristichi Lane. Cristich Lane to be improved in accordance with requirements of the City Engineer to project site." In referring this application back to the Commission, it was the expressed desire of the Council that consideration be given to phasing this project as an immed- iate alteniative to providing access over Cristich Lane. DTr'. Kee continued that Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission reaffirm its previous approval of this application and that the construction of t}iis project be approved in two phases, as follows: Phase One - 4 buildings (240,000 sq.ft.) without Cristichi Lane access; Please Two - 3 buildings (180,000 sq.ft.) with Cristichi Lane access; Buildout - 7 buildings (420,000 sq.ft.) with Cristich Lane access. Additionally, the City Council is requesting that the Commission forward any action for approval back to the Council for consideration at its January 17, 1984 meeting. Connnissioner I`'Ieyer asked if any work }ias been done to obtain the access off Cristich Lane, and expressed concern about going into Phase One without Cristich Lane access. Dhr. Kee responded that it is being recommended that unless access to Cristich Lane is obtained, there will be no Phase Two. It is Staff's opinion that this area will be able to Handle Phase One without Cristich Lane access, and if Phase Two is not built. Commissioner Howard asked which buildings will be built under Phase One. -10- Mr. Kee noted that this concern is addressed under Condition 1 which requires t}ie applicant to submit revised plans indicating how the project is to be phased. Conunissioner Howard expressed his concern that when Phase One is completed, the remaining property nug}it be subdivided into smaller industrial lots and make a shambles out of the w}sole site. Alr. Kee stated t}iat in order to change the lots lines wit}lin the project, the applicant would be required to go through the subdivision procedure, which would be reviewed by the Cor~nnission. Alr. Ivlark Disbrow, applicant, stated that without the 7 buildings this project is a financial disaster. Tne agreement by EquiReal is predicated upon the stipulation t}iat the City will help with the formation of a Local Improvement District. Mr. Disbrow noted that t}iey felt that t}ie traffic on IvlcGlincey which is called in- tolerable by the City is really a subjective call; that it is important to note that the actual capacity of blcGlincey of 10,000 cars per day would be possible if there wasn't the situation of trucks loading/unloading; the issue is not if the traffic is going to increase, but rather the issue is what is desireable and undesireable on IvicGlincey Lane. Ivfr. Disbrow wished the record to show that EquiReal is going along with the phasing because they believe that some kind of assessment district will be put together to obtain Cristich Lane. Connnissioner Howard .asked blr. Disbrow if he was saying that the second phase will not take place unless aai assessment district is formed. blr. Disbrow responded that EquiReal will be asking for a study to look at the formation of an assessment district, in that they do not have the power or the money to buy Cristich Lane and it must be done in some way. Conunissioner 1`leyer asked what would be entailed in the acquisition of Cristich Lane access. Pair. Helms noted that Staff requirements with regard to a 7 building complex is t}iat an additional access be obtained along Cristich Lane, however the specific requirements have not been worked out. It is Staff's intent that a study will be conducted to determine what a minimwn accepted improvement to Cristich Lane. Staff has indicated that a private easement would be acceptable if the applicant is able to obtain permission from current property owners. DIr. Albert J. Ruffo, attorney representing the applicant, stated that the economics of this project depended on 7 buildings. He noted that the applicant leas tried to obtain the rights-of-way necessary for Cristich Lane, and has been unsuccessful. Mr. Jack Peterson, 5084 Tifton Ave., San Jose, representing property at 563 McGlincey Lane, asked where t}ie access would be if it wasn't through Cristich Lane. Ivlr. Peterson noted that he o~med the property next to the ponds, and the applicant does not }lave right-of-way through his property. He added that lie did not agree with property being condemned for private industrial use. Additionally, the truck unloading/loading problem has been on McGlincey for twenty years. -11- It was moved by Commissioner Dickson, and seconded by Commissioner Meyer, that the Planning Conur-ission reaffirm its previous approval of S 83-13 and that the construction of this project be approved in two phases, as follows: Phase One - 4 buildings (240,000 sq.ft.) without Cristich Lane access; Phase 'I~vo - 3 buildings (180,000 sq.ft.) with Cristich Lane access; Buildout - 7 buildings (420,000 sq.ft.) with Cristich Lane access. Discussion of Abtion Commissioner Howard stated that he would be opposing the motion because the whole crux of the matter stands on Cristich Lane. The applicant has stated that the only way this project will make it is with an assessment district; and, this acc{uisition will only benefit one project--not the community as a whole. Vote on b}otion AYES: Commissioners: NOES: Conuni.ssioners: ABSENT: Commissioners: ZC 83-09 B/JF,A Development Meyer, Dickson, Fairbanks Howard Kasolas, Campos ~ * ~ Continued referral from City Council regarding zone change application on property known as 44 ~ 56 Sunnyside Avenue. i~lr. Kee stated that Staff is recommending a continuance of this application in order that a revised proposal may be submitted. It was moved by Commissioner Howard, and seconded by Commissioner Iv}eyer, that ZC 83-09 be continued to the Planning Commission meeting of January 24, 1984. Motion carried uTianimously (4-0-2). ~~~ SA 83-54 Application of Mr. Joe Gemma for approval of a Gemrna, J. sign permit to erect a free-standing retail center sign on property known as 2160 S. Bascom Avenue in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Dickson reported that this item was considered by the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The Committee is recommending denial because the rec{uest is not in conformance with the sign ordinance. Mr. Kee noted that the basis of the Staff's recommendation for denial is the sign ordinance. Staff does not have a problem with the design of the sign, but rather with the number of signs. Mr. Gemma, applicant, stated that he felt the sign was necessary to have exposure of his building. He noted that the building is really designed to have five businesses, however there are only three businesses operating. Five businesses would be allowed 50 sq.ft. each, and there is currently 86 sc{.ft. of signing on the building. He felt that it is a traffic hazard to have people trying to find his business. Mr. Gemma continued that he talked with the tenaaits in the building and they are not interested in -12- removi~ig any of tiie signing they ]lave paid so much money to erect. Ivls. Dorothy Shaddock, 391 California St., spoke in favor of this free-standing sign. It was moved by Conunissioner Dickson that the Conunission deny this request as presented. 1`btion cYies for lack of a second. It was m©ved by Commissioner Aleyer, and seconded by Commissioner Howard, that the Plaiming Corm~ussion approve S 83-54 subject to conditions listed in the Staff Co~nent Sheet. Discussion of Motion Conunissioner Dickson reminded the Commission that this type of action would weaken the sign ordinance, and he would be opposing the motion. Commissioner Aleyer noted her agreement with CorrIInissioner Dickson; however, she felt that iii this case there was a beautiful building that she would hate to see fail because of inadequate identification. Ohairman Fairbanks noted that in this case she is convinced there is a need for more identification, and would be in favor of the motion. Vote on Ivbtion Tie motion carried with a vote of 3-l, with Commissioner Dickson voting "no". ~ ~ ~ ZC 83-06 Request of Mr. Norman Garcia for modification to Garcia, N. previously approved plans for a zone change from R-IvI-S (Multiple Family Residential) to PD (Planned Development/Low-P,Iedium Density Residential) and plans and elevations allowing the construction of 7 townhomes on property known as 93 Shelley Avenue. Commissioner Dickson reported that this item was before the Site and Architectural Review Coirunittee, and the Committee is recommending approval. He noted that the applicant has agreed to leave the fireplace materials the same--brick. It was moved by Commissioner Meyer, and seconded by Commissioner Howard, that the Planning Commission approve ZC 83-06, modification, subject to conditions listed in the Staff Comuent Sheet. Motion carried unanimously (4-0-2). ~ ~ ~ Staff Report Staff report regarding Draft High-Rise Ordinance. Mr. Kee reviewed this report for the Commission, noting that the attached draft would establish an Interim Zoning District which would restrict the development approvals of the City over a 45-day period and would not permit approvals of structures over 6 stories or 75 feet. He added that the Council would like any comments forwarded to them. -13- Commissioner Howard moved, and Commissioner Meyer seconded that this item be continued. to the meeting of January 24, 1984 in order that it could be con- sidered by a full Commission. This motion was rescinded after hlr. Dempster informed the Conunission that this item has been set for public hearing at the Council level for January 17, 1984. Commissioner Dickson noted that lie did not have any comments on this draft ordinance . Commissioner Howard stated ti~at he felt it should be adopted. Commussioner Meyer noted her agreement with the other Commissioners. Chairman Fairbanks stated that she felt this was a sign of advance planning for the City and she welcomes this move. ~~~ Staff Report Staff report regarding resolution of appreciation for Architectural Advisor, hir.

It was the consensus of the Commission that this item be continued to the meeting of January 24, 1984. ~ ~ ~ Staff Report Staff report regarding location of trash enclosures. It was moved by Commissioner Dickson, and seconded by Commissioner Meyer, that this report be acknowledged and filed. Motion carried unanimously (4-0-2). ~ ~ ~ Election of Officers hlr.
