Campbell Planning Commission Minutes for November 24, 2009 Page 3
2. PLN2009-129 Public Hearing to consider the application of Ms. Lucille Tersigni,
Tersigni, L. on behalf of the Tersigni Family LP, for an exception to street
improvement requirements (PLN2009-129) for a previously
approved Tentative Parcel Map (PLN2007-102) that allowed a
two lot subdivision on property owned by the Tersigni Family L.P
located at 1670 Grace Avenue and 1830 Hamilton Avenue in
an R-1-6 (Single-family Residential) and a P-O (Professional
Office) Zoning District. Staff is recommending that this project be
deemed Categorically Exempt under CEQA. Tentative City
Council Meeting Date: January 5, 2010. Project Planner: Paul
Kermoyan, Planning Manager
Mr. Paul Kermoyan, Planning Manager, presented the staff report as follows:
• Reported that the applicant is seeking an exception to street improvement
requirements that were imposed as part of a Tentative Parcel Map. A condition
was imposed at that time that required street improvements along Hamilton Avenue
and Grace Avenue.
• Explained that when a Tentative Parcel Map or Subdivision is processed, it offers
the City an opportunity to establish deferred improvement agreements per Chapter
11 of the Municipal Code. Another opportunity is created when a specific
development project comes in where once again Chapter 11 can be implemented.
• Said that with the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map the applicant was
dividing one lot into two lots to separate the residential part (on Grace Avenue)
from the commercial part (on Hamilton Avenue).
• Added that the applicant is now attempting to develop the Hamilton Avenue
property and is asking for a deferred improvement agreement.
• Stated that there is an exemption process included in Chapter 11 to allow deferred
agreements, which the applicant's letter requests from the City.
• Advised that staff feels that the required findings can be made to support this
request and recommended that the Planning Commission forward a
recommendation of approval.
Chair Ebner opened the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 2.
Mr. Joe Tersigni, Applicant and Property Owner:
• Explained that he is representing his wife, Lucille Tersigni, this evening.
• Said that he hopes the Commission considers this request as they would like to
build as quickly as they can.
Chair Ebner closed the Public Hearing for Agenda Item No. 2.
Commissioner Alster said that this request seems reasonable and it would be logical to
grant it.
