Dear Mr. Huntsberry,
Your Conditional Use Permit/Site & Architectural Review Permit application for the
demolition of an existing Taco Bell restaurant and the construction of a new Taco Bell
restaurant with adrive-through component has been incomplete since November 12,
2008. As the city has not been contacted to discuss the completeness issues since
approximately February 2009 or received any revised submittal documents, your
application has expired and closed with no action taken.
If you are still interested in pursuing Conditional Use Permit & Site and Architectural
Review Permit in order to obtain an approval for the demolition of an existing Taco Bell
restaurant and the construction of a new Taco Bell restaurant with adrive-through
component, you will be required to submit a new application for review. If you should
have any questions regarding this notice, please feel free to contact me at (408) 866-2142
or by email at stevepCcityofcampbell.com.

Campbell Taco Bell Project; City of Campbell, California
Proposal to Provide Professional Traffic Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Huntsberry,
Per our discussion, I have prepared a proposal to provide professional traffic engineering services on
the Taco Bell project in Campbell (70 South San Tomas Aquino Road). It is my understanding that
the project will remove the existing restaurant (1,572 SF without drive-through) and construct a new
restaurant with adrive-through facility (1,913 SF). The scope of my services is based on the specific
issues identified in the City's Memorandum (October 29, 2008). The primary concerns include the
amount of "net" new trips (weekday) generated by the proposed project and the adequacy of on-site
circulation (ie: potential impact to adjacent church driveway and queuing of vehicles in the drive-
through). The following is a brief description of the tasks associated with preparing the requested
material for the City's initial review.
Project Try Generation Estimates -This task includes the derivation of project trip generation
estimates using data contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
publication (8` Edition). This includes an estimate of the "net" new trips associated with the
increase in restaurant size and addition of adrive-through facility. The estimate of "net" new
project trips will also be based on the appropriate reductions for "pass-by" and "diverted-Link"
type trips, as documented in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook (2"`' Edition). To evaluate the
potential impact on the adjacent driveway, trip generation estimates will also be derived for the
Korean Baptist Church.
2. Assignment of Project Trips -The project trips will be assigned to the 2 existing driveways. The
assignment of trips associated with both the existing and proposed project conditions will be
performed to demonstrate the "net" change in specific turning movements. The assignment of
project and church trips will also be performed to demonstrate the potential change in circulation
resulting from the shared northerly driveway restriction (two-way vs. one-way).
Evaluate On-Site Circulation -This task includes an evaluation of on-site circulation associated
with the proposed project conditions. A discussion regarding on-site circulation patterns for both
the project site and adjacent church property will be presented. In addition, the operations and
circulation patterns associated with the proposed drive-through facility will also be provided.
Vehicle queue requirements for the drive-through facility will be referenced from information
provided by your office.

4. Prepare Letter Report - A letter report will be prepared to present a summary of the project trip
generation estimates and evaluation of on-site circulation. The letter report will include all
necessary report graphics and support documentation.
5. Attend Planning Commission Hearing (Optional Task) -This task includes my attendance at 1
planning commission hearing. It is assumed that my participation at the public hearing will
include a brief overview of the report findings.
The proposed scope does not include the collection of any traffic count data, the calculation of
roadway or intersection level of service (LOS) values, the determination of traffic fees, the layout of
any design modification recommendations (paving, signing, striping, etc.), a visit to the project site,
the determination of project parking requirements, or any other tasks not specifically included in this
proposal. All work required beyond the budgeted amount for each specific task will be subject to
additional compensation. As stated in the City's Memorandum, the City reserves the right to request
additional information based on the results of the project trip generation estimates (Methodology).
A draft letter report will be completed for your initial review within 5-10 working days of receiving
authorization. The "not to exceed" fee for the traffic engineering services without Optional Task #5
is 2 385. The total "not to exceed" fee with Optional Task #5 is 3 200. A detailed project budget
illustrating the costs associated with each task is attached for your review. My attendance at any
additional project meetings or hearings will be provided and billed separately based on actual time
and materials (T&E). If the proposed scope, schedule and fee are acceptable, please sign and return
one (1) copy of this page acknowledging your authorization to proceed. Please contact me with any
questions regarding the proposal contents.

Re: Conditional Use Permit
File No: PLN2008-152
70 S. San Tomas Aquino Road
Dear Mr. Huntsberry,
The Planning Division has reviewed your Conditional Use Permit application submittal for the
demolition of an existing "Taco Bell" restaurant and construction of a new "Taco Bell"
restaurant with adrive-through component located at the above referenced address.
Your application was distributed to the Building Division, Public Works Department, and
County Fire Department. Comments from these departments are enclosed. The Conditional Use
Permit application has been deemed incomplete. The following information and details are
needed in order to deem your application complete:
1. Site Plan: The following items need to be provided and/or revised on the site plan:
a. Section 21.18.140 of the Campbell Municipal Code requires that all electric,
telecommunications, and cable television lines to serve the proposed development be
undergrounded. All utilities shall be taken from the nearest utility service and no new
poles or overhead lines sriall be allowed. Please indicate the location of the proposed
utilities to the nearest utility service on the site plan.
2. Parkin :The submitted site plan indicates the provision of eight parking spaces located along
the easterly property line outside of the project site. Please submit documentation indicating
easement access or a reciprocal parking agreement allowing the use of these parking spaces.
3. Site Layout & Architecture:
a. Please provide a streetscape view of the project with the scale of the adjacent buildings.
4. Landscaye Plan: The following items need to be provided and/or revised:
PLN2008-152 - 70 S. San ~~ _.,ias Aquno Rd.
Paae 2 of 3
a. Revise the preliminary landscape plan to include a minimum of a 10-foot wide landscape
strip along the street frontage and 5-foot wide planter strips along abutting side and rear
property lines.
b. An arborist report shall be prepared for the project to establish tree protection measures.
Please contact this department to discuss the format of the required arborist report.
c. Provide the size, species, and location of all existing trees on the property. Please note
on the site plan any tree greater than 12-inches in diameter (38-inches or greater in
circumference) proposed for removal. Trees greater than 12-inches are protected trees
and require approval of a Tree Removal Permit prior to removal. Tree removal
requests associated with a development application shall be filed concurrently with
the development application and reviewed in conjunction with the development
application.
5. SamRle Color and Material Board: Please provide a sample board that includes samples of
the building materials and paint colors (maximum 11" x 17" size) and 15 color copies of
similar size.
6. Traffic and Parking_Impact Analysis Report: The proposed development has the potential of
impacting traffic and parking. The enclosed Public Works comments indicate traffic and
parking study will be required. Enclosed is the scope of work for the study. Please contact the
City Traffic Engineer, Matthew Jue (408-866-2154), to discuss this matter in greater detail.
Please note that you will be required to submit a deposit with the City so that the City can
hire a traffic engineering consultant to prepare the traffic and parking study. The deposit
amount will be determined once the City receives bids for the study. Should additional
analyses be required, you will be required to provide additional deposits.
7. Si~na~e: The signage shown on the elevations exceeds the maximum allowable signage per
Section 21.30 of the Zoning Code. The proposed use would be allowed only one 27 square
foot wall sign and one 27 square foot freestanding sign. Additional signage would require
Planning Commission approval of a sign exception. Staff strongly discourages the
application of a sign exception for this project as staff could not make the findings necessary
to recommend approval. Additionally, previous sign exception applications for similar
projects have been consistently denied by the Planning Commission.
Additionally, staff recommends the following the revisions to the plans:
1. Trash Enclosure: Relocate the trash enclosure to an area not adjacent to existing single
family residences.
2. On-site Circulation: The current on-site circulation design indicates that exiting traffic from
the drive-through would intersect with entering traffic from northbound San Tomas Aquino
Road. Staff is not supportive of this configuration. Staff is supportive of a submitted alternate
circulation design that proposes a predominantly one-way circulation pattern.
3. Architectural Changes: The General Plan land use designation for the subject property is
Neighborhood Commercial. The General Plan states:
PLN2008-152 ~ 70 S. San -~ .gas Aquno Rd. Page 3 of 3
The Neighborhood Commercial (land use) category is designed to
encourage the location of commercial uses at major intersections in
residential areas. Neighborhood Commercial uses accommodate small-
scale, lower intensity commercial and office uses that provide services to
the adjacent residential neighborhood and is accessible by automobile and
foot. Neighborhood Commercial areas should be designed to
accommodate the auto in a manner that is friendly to pedestrians and
bicycle traffic. The architecture of the buildings should be compatible to
the neighborhood. Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, laundries and
personal services are examples of neighborhood commercial uses.
The City's architectural advisor has reviewed this project. His review indicates that the
proposed architectural design is inconsistent with the surrounding area. Staff additionally
believes that proposed architecture is inconsistent with the design expectations of the General
Plan. Staff stron 1 recommends that the architectural design of the proposed project be
revised to better incorporate non-corporate elements and detailing. As currently presented,
the proposed architectural design will likely prompt a negative staff recommendation for the
project.
Thank you for the opportunity to review these plans. Prior to formal resubmission of the project,
please provide preliminary revisions for review and recommendation by staff. A formal
submittal must include 15 reduced size plans (11" x 17"), and five full size plans (24" x 36").
Please contact Steve Prosser, Assistant Planner, at (408) 866-2142 or by email at
stevep~a~cityofcampebll.com in order schedule a meeting to discuss this matter further.
Sincerely,
~/- .~
