~**
EIR 81-2 Public hearing to consider the Draft Environmental
Prometheus Development Impact Report which has been prepared for the pro-
ject known as Hamilton Avenue Office Complex located
at 920 E. Hamilton Avenue (southeast corner of High-
way 17 and Hamilton Avenue).
Mr. Kee reviewed this item for the Commission reporting that the applicant is
proposing to develop the subject property with approximately 460,000 square
feet of office space. The proposed project consists of 3 six-story office
towers and a parking structure. Areas of surface parking lots and landscaping
are also proposed. Once the application for this project was filed, an initial
study was completed to determine the potential impact that this development could
have on the environment. Based on the initial study, the applicant was advised
that an EIR would be required by the City of Campbell.
Pursuant to the City's adopted guidelines for preparing EIR's, the Staff selected
the firm of Earth Metrics, Inc. to prepare the Draft EIR. The applicant and the
consultant were advised by Staff that the EIR should focus attention on the pro-
ject's impact in relation to: (1) On-and-off-site traffic circulation; (2)
Housing in the area; and (3) The job/housing balance in Campbell. In addition,
several other areas of lesser concern were identified in order that they could
also be covered in the EIR.
At this point, Engineering Manager Helms presented an extensive report regarding
traffic problems for this particular site. This report is attached hereto and
made a part of these minutes.
Mr. Kee noted that another area of significant potential impact that would result
if this development were built is housing. The existing 136 mobile home spaces
would be eliminated. Due to the very limited number of vacant mobile home spaces
in the area, the residents of the park would either have to move to a park out of
the area or move into another type of housing, such as an apartment or condominium/
townhouse unit. In addition, the age of most of the coaches in the Hamilton Avenue
Mobile Home Park would preclude their relocation to most newer parks in the area.
The State of California Government Code (Section 65863.7) requires that the
person proposing the change of use shall file a report on the impact of the
conversion upon the displaced residents of the mobile home park to be con-
verted. After reviewing the report, the City may require, as a condition
of such change, that the applicant take steps to mitigate any adverse impact
of the conversion on the ability of displaced mobile home park residents to
find adequate space in another mobile home park.
It is the Staff's opinion that the applicant has indicated general areas where
mobile homes spaces may be found, but has not indicated any proposal to miti-
gate the adverse impact of the conversion on the residents.
-4-
It should be noted that a condition has been recommended as part of the project
which would require approval of a relocation plan by the legislative body as
provided for in Section 65863.7 of the California Government Code.
The Draft EIR indicates that there could be 2,300 additional jobs created by
this development. This figure does not include other jobs which may be gener-
ated in the area as a result of this development. If a balance between jobs
and housing is to be maintained in Campbell, there may be pressure to develop
additional housing over and above that anticipated in the current General Plan
of the City of Campbell.
In summary, Mr. Kee stated that it is the Staff's opinion that the Draft EIR
provides sufficient information to determine that the adverse effects of the
project, as currently proposed, cannot be mitigated satisfactorily.
As indicated in the traffic section of the Staff report, substantial revisions
to the access to the project would be required for any mitigation effect to
occur.
With regard to housing, the EIR does indicate other general areas where mobile
home spaces may exist, but specific mitigation measures to minimize the adverse
impact on the residents are lacking. With regard to the jobs/housing balance,
this project may cause additional pressures for additional housing in Campbell
beyond the capacity called for in the current General Plan.
Mr. Kee added that the Planning Department had received approximately 50 letters
from concerned area residents speaking against the project. Some of these
letters had been attached to the Staff Comment Sheet, and the remainder had been
placed at each Commissioner's station this evening. These letters have been
made a part of the file.
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that it was her unstanding that part of her job
this evening was to go over this EIR report and make a decision as to the
report's completeness to the best of her knowledge. She asked Mr. Kee if
this report is considered a "focused" report.
Mr. Kee stated that it was Staff's opinion that the information received in
the report was sufficient to come to a recommendation on the project as it
is presented--not the way it may be changed or amended. On the basis of
this information, Staff feels a recommendation of denial, is justifiable.
Commissioner Campos noted that he wanted to make sure he understood that the
consideration of the EIR is based on the project as it is presented at this
time.
Mr. Kee stated that this is the case.
Commissioner Dickson noted for the record that he had been sent some infor-
mational materials regarding this proposed project by the developers, prior
to the public hearing being set.
City Attorney Dempster entered the Council Chambers at 8:10 p.m.
Chairman ~1eyer noted that it would be appropriate at this time for the
Commission to determine a time frame in which to hear both sides, relating
to this EIR. It was the consensus of the Commission that one-half hour would
be allowed for each side on this item, and the same time frame would apply
-5-
when the Planned Development item was presented for public hearing. Chairman
Meyer then asked the audience to select a representative speaker for each side,
to limit points to those not already covered by another speaker, and to try to
be brief. She then noted to the Planning Commission that they should consider
this item strictly from a planning standpoint".
Chairman P~leyer then declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Robert Wagner, Vice-President of Prometheus Development, appeared before
the Commission to state that, based on the information gained at this morning's
Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting, they will be presenting revised
plans. These revised plans will mainly address the traffic problems and the
access problems of the site. He noted that he would like the Commission to
accept the EIR as complete; however, with the revisions planned, there may be
changes to the EIR also. Mr. Wagner added that he will be requesting a con-
tinuance of PD 81-13 which is to be considered later in tonight's meeting.
Dr. Jerry Houseman, 33 Circle Drive, spoke against this item, stating that
the mobilehome seller was not considered under the mitigating factors re-
garding providing homes for the residents; and that the traffic analysis
should have been started by at least 11:00 a.m.
Mr. Charles Williamson, speaking on behalf of his mother who resides at 8
Circle Drive, noted several areas of the EIR that he felt were inadequate.
Mr. Williamson referred to his letter of April 24, 1982 (attached hereto
and made a part of these minutes).
Mr. Rex Burke, representing his mother who resides at 54 Circle Drive,
stated he felt that the EIR was biased toward the developer, in that there
were very few points brought out indicating the costs for the residents if
they are displaced.
Mrs. Joanne Auerbach, 1992 Montemar lJay, San Jose, stated that it was her
feeling that the EIR was lacking in the area of alternatives, as well as
being weak in mitigating factors concerning the displacement of the residents
of the park, and in the traffic impact. She noted that a consideration might
be a mixed use project, possibly making one of the proposed towers residential.
Mr. Timothy Lundell, attorney for the residents of the mobilehome park, stated
that the section of the EIR relatin to housing is inadequate,citing the letter
received from the City of San Jose attached hereto and made a part of these
minutes). He noted that there are very few parks interested in taking older
mobile homes, and that there are very few spaces available in the bay area.
Mr. Wagner asked Mr. Kee if it is Staff's opinion that the EIn presented is
adequate and provides the information needed for the project, containing all
the information as requested by the Planning Staff.
P~1r. Kee responded that Staff did not have a problem with the amount of infor-
mation in the document.
Mr. Wagner stated that he would like to request a continuance on the EIR,
thereby allowing the applicant to revise the portions of the Draft EIR that
may be affected by revised plans. These revisions will be presented when
the revised plans are brought back to the Commission.
-6-
Mr. Kee stated that Staff would recommend a continuance of this Draft EIR
under the circumstances, noting that if there are to be revised plans, the -
Commission should have the opportunity to review the EIR pertinent to the
revised plans.
Commissioner Kasolas noted that he was in concurrence with the applicant.
Mr. Michael Hogan, Earth Metrics, Inc., spoke in defense of the Draft EIR.
He felt that the housing section referred to by Dr. Houseman and Mr.
Williamson, was taken out of context--in the summary it clearly that the
applicant should be involved in the mitigating plan .for relocation. A
supplementary report was prepared in response to the California Environ-
mental Quality Act (CEQA) stating that the mitigation section does speak
to a detailed plan needed for relocation. Mr. Hogan noted that there is
no requirement that the EIR address anything but the proposed project--
that it has been determined that to set up alternatives is premature. He
added that the Commission has the option to accept the Draft EIR and require
revisions in any necessary areas, or the Commission may require that the
entire document be re-written.
Mr. Jeff Heller, architect for the project, spoke in favor of the Commission
accepting the Draft EIR and requiring addendum, stating that it would be
helpful to get the input from those in attendance this evening, in order
that these problems can be addressed in the revisions that are being proposed.
Mr. Charles 4lilliamson stated that he would like the opinion of the City
Attorney regarding California Government Code Section 65863.7 - Mobilehome
Park Conversions. He stated that he felt that the preparers of the Draft
EIR took the code section out of context, using only one part of it.
P1r. Dempster stated that he did not believe that this section, as cited by
Mr. 4lilliamson, has to be addressed in the Draft EIR. He stated that he
did not feel that this is the way the code is interpreted; that it was
strictly Mr. Williamson's judgment that it should be addressed in the
Draft EIR.
Mr. Timothy Lundell stated that the applicant has distributed a letter to
the park residents stating that the hearing would be to consider the EIR
and attached a copy of the government code referred to this evening.
The Commission took a break at 8:55 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 9:10 p.m.
Mr. Dempster stated to the Commission that he had discussed the referenced
code section with the applicant and the property owners, and it is his opinion
that the Draft EIR does not have to address Section 65863.7 and that the Draft
EIR can be accepted without fully addressing this code section; however, this
code section will have to be addressed fully at some time and will have to be
attached to the project. It doesn't make sense to discuss a relocation pro-
posal until a project is approved. Mr. Dempster further stated that it was
his feeling that the legislative body of this City would not approve a project
such as the one proposed without attaching a condition that this section be ____
satisfied to their satisfaction.
Mr. Lundell stated that it was essential that the Commission was aware of all
mitigating options, and these were not addressed in this Draft EIR.
-7-
Per. Andrew Faber, attorney for Prometheus Development, stated that this code
section is not part of CEQA, which serves the purpose of an informational
document. He spoke in favor of certifying the Draft EIR so that a data base
would be available and the developers could continue from that point.
Chairman Meyer then asked the Commission for their comments.
Commissioner Dickson noted that it was his position that the "Noise" section
of the document should have additional input regarding the noise levels from
different elevations. He added that wherever the Draft EIR referred to
"City of Campbell" was really the opinion of the preparers of the document
only.
Commissioner Howard addressed the general audience and commented that the
document presented this evening is only a draft. If it is accepted,
it goes on to the City Council with recommendations;
then it will be sent back
to the Planning Commission for a revised draft or go through as a final
Draft EIR to be accepted. The Commission, this evening, is working towards
getting the Draft EIR going so that the problems can be addressed.
Commissioner Campos questioned Mr. Kee as to the pressures referred to
relating to the Jobs/Housing Balance section of the Staff Comment Sheet.
Mr. Kee responded that basically there would be pressures for additional
housing and higher densities with the influx of jobs in the area. These
housing needs would be over and above what the current General Plan calls
for in the area.
Commissioner Howard moved, and Commissioner Dickson seconded, that the
public hearing be closed. Motion carried unanimously (6-0-1).
RESOLUTION N0. 2107 Commissioner Howard moved, and Commissioner
Campos seconded, that the Planning Commission
adopt Resolution No. 2107:
(1) Accepting the Draft EIR as complete
for the project as proposed; and
(2) That the Commission require amend-
ments to the Draft EIR to address
revised plans as required by the
Planning Department.
Discussion on Motion
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that she would be voting in favor of the
motion; it was her feeling that the Draft EIR contained enough information
for the Commission to make a recommendation on the project as proposed.
Vote on Motion
AYES: Commissioners: Kasolas, Howard, Campos, Fairbanks, Meyer
NOES: Commissioners: Dickson
ABSENT: Commissioners: Kotowski

PD 81-13 Public hearing to consider the application of
Musgrave, D. Mr. David Musgrave on behalf of "900 E. HAMILTON
Prometheus Development AVENUE--A GENERAL PARTNERSHIP" for a Planned
Development Permit and approval of plans, ele-
vations and development schedule to allow the
construction of three office buildings and
related parking structures on property known
as 920 E. Hamilton Avenue (Hamilton Avenue
Mobilehome Park) in a PD (Planned Development/
Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Campos reported that this item had been before the Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning. The Committee reviewed the
Staff recommendations, which are:
1. That the Planning Commission make a determination that the EIR,
which was prepared for this project,provides sufficient information
on which to base a recommendation.
2. That the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending
denial of this application as presented.
3. If this application is continued in order that revised plans
may be considered, that the applicant submit, for the City's
approval, a specific mitigation plan to minimize the impact
of this conversion on the mobile home park residents, as
provided for in Section 65863.7 of the California Government
Code.
Commissioner Campos further noted that the main reasons for these recommendations
are as follows:
1. Increased traffic volume and resulting deterioration of levels
of service at the intersection of Hamilton Avenue and Bascom
Avenue.
2. Ingress and egress for the site is indicated as Hamilton
Avenue. The restriction on turning movements to right-turn-in
and right-turn-out for a potential of 6,800 trip ends per day
is, in Staff's opinion, not desirable.
3. Approximately 45% of the proposed on-site parking is indicated
as compact. Campbell's ordinance provides for a maximum of
30% compact stalls.
4. The parking ratio is indicated as 1:230, based on the gross
floor area, and Campbell requires 1:200.
5. There is insufficient back-up distance indicated for some
areas of proposed parking south of the third office tower.
6. The project will be built in three phases. Parking for the
first two phases will be on the surface. When phase three is
constructed ,the proposed parking structure will be built.
During construction of phase three, parking provided for the
first two phases will be disrupted by the construction of the
six-story parking structure and third office tower.
-9-
7. The parking layout is not completely indicated for levels
2-6 of the proposed parking structure.
Commissioner Campos added that there had been discussion this morning about
the possibility of constructing a bridge over the Los Gatos Creek, therefore
taking traffic off Hamilton Avenue.
The Committee felt that the presentation of the project should be heard by
the entire Commission. If the Commission voted for a continuance of this
item, the Committee would like to see the following issues addressed:
1. Alternate site plans. Perhaps less buildings, more open
space. The Committee felt the buildings were too close
to the property line.
2. A definite plan on traffic mitigation (i.e. feasibility of
building a bridge over the Los Gatos Creek or Hamilton
Avenue).
3. A review of parking ratios.
4. A specific relocation plan for the residents of the
mobilehome park. In the Committee's opinion, relocating
the mobilehome units to another park in the area is not a
feasible solution.
Mr. Kee stated that Staff's recommendations are as listed in the Staff
Comment Sheet, and as reported by Commissioner Campos.
Chairman Meyer reviewed the previously concurred-upon time frames of
one-half hour per side. She then declared the public hearing open
and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Robert Wagner, Vice-President of Prometheus Development, distributed
an outline of the company's approach to the project and a review of the
team they have assembled, to the Commission for review. He commented
that he would like to identify the problem areas and address them as
soon as possible. Mr. Wagner introduced f~1r. Chuck Toeniskaetter of
Carl N. Swenson Company.
Mr. Toesniskoetter of Carl N. Swenson Company, builders of the proposed
office complex, showed a slide presentation reviewing a number of the
projects his company has built in the area. He added that it is projected
that this project should generate approximately $300,000 yearly in tax
base and retail sales in the Campbell area.
Mr. Fred Rubbio, Marketing Specialist of Kushman-Wakefield, spoke for the
project, noting that his figures indicate a healthy flow of new office
requirements. He stated that for Campbell to be a part of the vibrant
growth in the area, they will need additional office space. This project
would be a substantial landmark in the area.
The Commission took a break at 10:20 p.m.; the meeting reconvened at 10:30 p.m.
-10-
Mr. John Tupper, 44 Circle Drive, spoke against the project stating that it
eliminated an existing community. He added that he is opening a business
in the area and cannot relocate to another area.
Mrs. Bonnie Beaman, Mobile Homeowner Protection Association, 1212 Old Oakland
Road, San Jose, spoke against the project,stating that she felt it was terrible
to relocate these elderly people. She felt that the City had a moral obliga-
tion to help these people.
Mr. James Crain, 95 "C" Street, read a letter from Bank of the West which
stated that the Bank was taking an interest in the situation because of
their position with various residents of the park who were their customers.
Mr. Vaughn Wolff, 24 S. Seventh St., San Jose, speaking for his mother who
resides in Space 55 at the park, asked who would be paying for the possible
revised traffic patterns.
Mr. Charles Williamson, 8 Circle Drive, spoke against the project, stating
that there were four sides to be dealt. with: developers, property owners,
residents, and general welfare of Campbell. He added that while the developers
deal with a profit standpoint, they do not deal with the welfare of the community.
The impact of this project on the residents of Campbell will be extensive. There
will be a loss of 15% of the City's low-income housing if this project is approved.
Mr. Williamson continued that the project is inconsistent with the Housing Element
of the General Plan. He urged the Commission to reject this particular project--
that its negative impact far outreached its tax revenues.
Mrs. Esther Arnold, 35 Circle Drive, spoke against the project and asked the
Commission what was going to be done in order that she would have a home and
could be close to her doctors.
Mrs. James Crain, 95 "C" Street, spoke against the project, adding that the
stress that the residents have been put under has caused many health problems.
Mr. Glenn Miller, 31 Circle Drive, spoke against the project.
Ms. Antonia Paige, 88 Timber Cove Drive, spoke against the project, noting
that the residents of the Timber Cove Mobile Home Park are in sympathy with
the residents of the Hamilton Avenue Park.
Ms. Patricia Gentile, 1163 Springfield Dr., spoke against the project, citing
traffic as a major factor.
Mr. George Fusco, 111 "C" Street, spoke against the project.
Mr. Andy Gueria, 129 Circle Drive, spoke against the project. He related his
ordeals in trying to find another location for his mobilehome, reporting that
there are no parks in the Bay Area that will take his home. He stated that
the residents have approached the property owner about the possibility of
the residents buying the park, but they were refused. He noted that the
property owner had recently increased the rents by 20%, and that parking
had been eliminated on the site for vehicles.
Ms. Raye Roy, 86 Circle Drive, spoke against the project, adding that the
stress under which the residents have been living is terrible.
-11-
Mr. Robert Wagner, Prometheus Development, noted that his company has been try-
ing to communicat e with the residents since last August and they have made
some attempts to find alternate places for them to live, but that they have
not been successful. He added that he has documents he would like to submit
for the file showing these attempts. Mr. Wagner 'then requested a continuance
of th i s item.
Chairman Meyer stated that the time limit was expended for both sides, and
asked the Commission for their comments.
Commissioner Howard stated to the audience that the Commission is not trying
to relocate the residents or take away their homes. The Commission is aware
of the stressful situation; however, this item is going to take a long time
to solve. He continued that the Commission must look at what will suit the
people of Campbell best.
It was moved by Commissioner Kasolas, and seconded by Commissioner Howard,
that PD 81-13 be continued to the meeting of May 25, 1982, in order that
the applicant might address traffic concerns and relocation plans. Motion
carried unanimously.
Commissioner Kasolas requested that any substantial revisions in the plan be
accompanied by amendments in the Draft EIR addressing these revisions. He
also requested Staff to set up a line of communication with the park residents
in order that they will be notified of all hearings.
Mr. Kee indicated that this will be done.
MISCELLANEOUS
S 80-19 Continued application of Mr. Larry Cockrell for
Cockrell, L. a minor modification to the originally approved
plans for 3 condominium units on property known
as 1408 W. Latimer Avenue in an R-2-S (Multiple
Family/Medium Density Residential) Zoning District.
fir. Stafford reviewed this application for the Commission stating that the
applicant at this time is requesting approval of revised plans which indicate
the provision of four condominium units on this property. This proposal in-
cludes the following changes:
1. Division of an existing 2,250 square foot upstairs into two
separate condominiums.
2. Provision of two additional parking spaces.
3. Reduction in landscaping areas by approximately 264 square feet.
4. Relocation of trash enclosure area.
5. Modification to the landscaping materials installed in the areas
surrounding the living units.
Staff is of the opinion that the provision of additional parking spaces and the
subsequent reduction in landscaping areas is not a desirable change to the
approved plans. Consequently, Staff is recommending denial of this proposal.
-12-
Commissioner Campos reported that this item had been before the Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning, noting that the applicant has
addressed the concerns expressed by Staff. The Committee is split in their
recommendation.
Commissioner Kasolas spoke in favor of approving this application.
Commissioner Dickson felt that the parking requirements were justified, and
the policies had been approved by the Commission after lengthy research.
Mr. Kee indicated that by bringing the number of parking spaces up to code,
this would reduce the amount of landscaping.
Commissioner Howard questioned the location of the proposed trash enclosure
in reference to the parking area, landscaping, and visibjity for traffic.
Mr. Kee stated that the location had been approved by the Fire Department.
It is to be located in a current landscaped area, but is not near a driveway.
The visibility should not be impaired.
Mr. Larry Cockrell, applicant, appeared before the Commission to request an
approval. He stated that the proposed trash enclosure location will be in
an area where there is an existing 6 foot fence. He is planning to have
2-1/2 parking spaces per unit, which is the required parking for a condo-
minium development. Regarding the reduction of landscaping, he noted that
he is proposing to eliminate about 260 feet of non-functioning landscaping
(ground cover, etc.) replacing it with lawn area that can be used by the
residents.
It was moved by Commissioner Dickson, and seconded by Commissioner Fairbanks,
that this application be denied. Motion failed with a vote of 3-3-1
(Commissioner Kotowsl;i being absent).
Commissioner Kasolas commented that the applicant is attempting to correct
someone else's problems, and this request should be granted.
Commissioner Fairbanks stated that this situation seemed very similar to others
that have come to light recently, wherein approved plans have not been adhered
to, and now modifications are being requested. She felt that the Commission
should be very careful with these issues.
Mr. Kee suggested that the Commission may wish to continue this item to the
next meeting when a full Commission is present.
It was moved by Commissioner Kasolas, and seconded by Commissioner Howard,
that S 80-19 be continued to the meeting of May 11, 1982 in order that this
item may be reviewed by a full Commission. Motion carried unanimously.
SA 82-13 Continued appeal of the Planning Director's
Campbell Veterinary decision denying a 32-foot sign on the rear
Clinic of a building located at 1575-B S. t~linchester
Blvd. in a C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial)
Zoning District.
-13-
Commissioner Campos reported that this item had been before the Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Committee's recommenda-
tion was to uphold the decision of the Planning Director for denial.
It was moved by Commissioner Dickson, and seconded by Commissioner Kasolas,
that SA 82-13 be denied, upholding the decision of the Planning Director.
Motion carried unanimously.

seconded by Commissioner Howard, that the
meeting be adjourned.
