CONSENT CALENDAR
TS 81-13 Tentative Subdivision Map: Lands of Sparks
Sparks Construction Construction Co. APN 305-28-10 & 11
Company (139 Dot Avenue).
Mr. Kee reported that this item is directly related to the application of
Mr. Robert Kadjevich (PD 81-03) for approval of a planned development permit
to allow the construction of ten town homes on properties known as 115 & 139
Dot Avenue. Condition Q of that approval requires the applicant to file
and process a tract map.
He noted the applicant has submitted a tentative subdivision map at this
time to satisfy this condition. The proposed map would allow the development
of ten townhomes or 15.1 units per gross acre. The project density is con-
sistent with the General Plan density of 14-20 units per gross acre as shown
for this area.
He further noted that Staff is recommending approval of this tentative
subdivision map.
Commissioner Pack then moved that TS 81-13 be recommended for approval to
the City Council as advised by Staff subject to the conditions listed in the
Staff Comment Sheet, seconded by Commissioner Meyer and unanimously adopted.

S 79-19 Request of Mr. Marvin A. Bamburg for an extension
Bamburg, M, of previously approved plans to construct 52
condominium units on property known as 3595
S. Bascom Avenue in an R-3-S (Multiple Family/
High Density Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Dickson stated he felt this extension should first go before the
Site and Architectural Review Committee before a decision is made by the
Planning Commission since there have been changes in thinking regarding
parking, open space, etc.
Mr. Kee noted that the plans are displayed for the Commission's review, and
the Staff is recommending approval of this extension; there have been no
changes in so far as the General Plan or Zoning are concerned.
Commissioner Pack inquired if there would be any effect on time schedules
or fees should this be continued.
Mr. Kee explained that there would be no additional fees; the only drawback
would be that it would take another three weeks before the extension could
be approved.
Mr. Sam Maslesa, applicant, appeared before the Commission to answer any
questions they might have.
No one. having any questions, Commissioner Dickson moved that this item be
continued to the July 7 Planning Commission meeting in order that the plans
could be reviewed by the Site and Architectural Review Committee, seconded

Dickson and Campos voting for the motion, and Commissioners Pack, Meyer and
Kasolas against the motion.)
Commissioner Meyer then moved that the Planning Commission approve an extension
of previously approved plans to construct 52 condominiums units at 3595 S.
Bascom Avenue, seconded by Commissioner Pack and adopted with Commissioner
Dickson voting "no".

Capitola Knolls public hearing to consider the application of
Mr. Ron Troyon on behalf of Capitola Knolls
Investors fora planned development and approval
of plans, elevations and development schedule to
allow the construction of a 56,000 square foot
office building on property known as 901 Campisi
41ay in a P-D (Planned Development/Commercial)
Zoning District.
Mr. Kee reported that all concerns noted in the Staff Comment Sheet had
been addressed, except for Condition No. 5. He noted that Staff is in a
position to recommend approval of this project at this time.
Commissioner Meyer reported that the applicant had met with the Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Committee is recommending
approval of the plans as redlined. She noted that all the concerns listed in
the Staff Comment Sheet had been addressed; and regarding Item No. 5, the
Committee felt that it was a matter of opinion between architects. The
-4-
Architectural Advisor had suggested a 3-4 foot overhang, however the
applicant's architect felt strongly that the building should be con-
structed as submitted. The Committee is also recommending that the plans
be approved as submitted.
Commissioner Campos inquired about the trash enclosures.
Commission Meyer responded that all trash enclosures will be out of site and
enclosed.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Max Rouzier, architect, explained that in his opinion changing the
roof line would detract from the plans as presented, and felt that it
did not affect the aesthetics of the building. He also felt that this
is a purely personal expression and would like to keep the overhang as
it was submitted.
No one else wishing to speak, Commissioner Meyer moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Campos and unanimously adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 2014 Commissioner Meyer moved that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2014 approving
the application of Mr. Ron Troyon for construction
of a 56,000 square foot office building on property
known as 901 Campisi Way in a P-D (Planned Develop-
ment/Commercial) Zoning District subject to the
conditions listed in the Staff Comment Sheet and
as redlined. This motion was seconded by Commissioner
Pack and adopted by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Pack, Campos, Meyer, Dickson, Kasolas
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: Kotowski, Fairbanks
At this time Commissioner Pack inquired about the review by the Los Gatos Creek
Committee.
Mr. Kee responded that the Committee would review this application and forward
its comments on to the City Council. Those comments would be considered along
with the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
***
ZC 81-17 This is the time and place for a continued
Creative Design public hearing to consider the application of
Creative Design Co. fora zone change from R-M
(Multiple Family Residential) to P-D (Planned
Development) and approval of plans, elevations,
and development schedule to allow construction
of 7 townhomes on property known as 75 Shelley
Avenue in an R-M (P~ultiple Family Residential)
Zoning District.
At this time Mr. Kee reported that in response to the Chair's earlier question
regarding the density of the development at 60 Shelley Avenue (S 80-12), the
-5-
application submitted proposed a density of 9.7 units per gross acre; the
maximum allowed would be up to 13 units per gross acre.
Mr. Kee then stated that Staff is recommending approval of this application
subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Comment Sheet. He noted that
this project is proposed to be developed at a density of 12.6 units per
gross acre, which would be consistent with the density range of 6-13 units
per gross acre as shown on the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
Engineering Manager Helms then made a presentation on uhiteoaks Road,
covering concerns expressed by the Commission at its last meeting. He
noted that the Engineering Staff has reviewed the area for traffic accidents
and traffic volumes, and prevailing traffic speeds. He displayed an aerial
photo to reacquaint the Commission with this area. He noted that Whiteoaks
Road is shown on the Circulation Element of the General Plan as a Class I
Collector street, which is projected to carry from 3,500 to 12,000 vehicles
per day; this would be a similar classification to Union Avenue, Budd Avenue
and Harriet Avenue. He further noted that the Circulation Element indicates
how the commute traffic moves through the community. He reported that the
average daily traffic in the northbound direction between Redding and Camden
is approximately 5,600 vehicles per day; in the southerly direction it is
3,600 vehicles per day. Further down Whiteoaks, near Woodard, the average
daily traffic in the southerly direction is 3,600 vehicles per day, and in
the northbound direction it is 3,200 vehicles per day. He then reviewed the
criteria warranting installation of traffic controls, which is set by CALTRANS.
He noted that this area does not warrant traffic controls at this time; however,
the Public Works Department will be reviewing this area in the next few months
to determine if further controls are warranted. He then reviewed the radar
speed surveys performed in this area. He noted that the prevailing speeds
are somewhat higher than what had been hoped for. The median speed is
approximately 35 m.p.h., and currently the speed limit is 30 m.p.h. from
Camden to Redding along Whiteoaks. He then reviewed the criteria used by
the State to determine speeds. Once again, Mr. Helms noted that there has
not been sufficient time to fully conclude what recommendations will be made
for this area, however additional speed counts will be taken in the future
months, and recommendations will be forwarded to the City Council if warranted.
Chairman Kasolas then opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Norm Galicia, applicant, appeared before the Commission to note that
all requirements of this approval have been met. He recommended not
allowing left-hand turns at Bascom and !dhiteoaks.
Engineering Manager Helms stated that the turning movements had not yet
been counted at that intersection.
Mr. Farmer of 1689 Whiteoaks Road appeared to express concern about the
traffic problems on ldhiteoaks. He is opposed to any increase in density.
Mr. Bill Wells of 1710 !dhiteoaks also spoke about the traffic problems
on Whiteoaks, noting it is mostly caused by commuters from Los Gatos.
Mr. Skovernik of 135 Redding Road complained that the traffic being
generated is caused by commuters, not people living in the units
developed in this area.
-6-
Holly Rice of 1700 Whiteoaks agreed that additional studies need to be
made in order to come up with some alternatives for this area. She then
inquired about the P-D Zoning.
Mr. Kee stated that the change of zoning would not allow any higher density
than is already allowed.
P~1r. Frank Spivey of 1700 Whiteoaks spoke against high density in this area.
Mr. Al McLintock of 123 Redding Road stated he felt the proposed
development would not add that much to the existing traffic problem. _
Mr. Bill Brown of 104 Redding Road also spoke regarding the traffic
problems and high density of :this area.
Mr. Jim Billmaier of 60 Shelley Avenue spoke for this project, noting
he would not mind having it constructed adjacent to his property.
No one else wishing to speak, Commissioner Meyer moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 2015 Commissioner Meyer moved that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2015 recommending

Commissioner Dickson noted that the Council has adopted guidelines to follow
regarding lowering densities for projects. He felt this project is proposed
at the -high end of the density range, which is not in accord with the Council
guidelines.

PUBLIC HEARINGS (CONTINUED
ZC 81-18 This is the time and place for a public hearing
City-initiated to consider the City-initiated application for a
zone change from R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential)
to R-M-S-H (Multiple Family Residential/Historic
Overlay) for historic designation of property
known as 207 N. Central Avenue.
Mr. Kee reported that at its meetings of May 12, 1981 the Historic Preservation
Board adopted Resolution No. 6 recommending designation of the "Genasci
House" as an Historic Landmark. The application for recommended designation
of this single family dwelling was initiated by the Civic Improvement Commission
and was unanimously adopted by the Historic Preservation Board. At this time
the Planning Commission should consider a zone change for historic designation
as in Section 21.41.100(1) of the Zoning Ordinance which reads:
(1) After receiving a recommendation from the Board, the Planning
Commission shall hold a public hearing to consider a zone
change for historic designation at the earliest next regular
meeting...
The Staff is of the opinion that the proposed zone change is consistent with
the Land Use Element of the General Plan as shown for this area. The continued
use of this single-family dwelling as a residence will not disrupt the orderly
development of this area.
The designation of this property with an Historic Preservation Overlay
District will influence future development of this parcel. Prior to
additional development or construction on this site, an applicant would
have to obtain a special use permit as specified in Section 21.41.120 of
the Zoning Ordinance. This requirement does not preclude further develop-
ment of the site, however, it provides an additional review of a proposal
for development by the Historic Preservation Board.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience
to speak for or against this application.
No one else wishing to speak, Commissioner P4eyer moved that the public hearing
be closed, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 2017 Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. .2017 recommending
that the City Council approve a zone change from
R-M-S (Multiple Family Residential) to R-M-S-H
(Multiple Family Residential/Historic Overlay)
for this property. This motion was seconded by
Commissioner Pack and adopted by the following
roll call vote:
-8-
AYES: Commissioners: Pack, Campos, Meyer, Dickson, Kasolas
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: Kotowski, Fairbanks
ZC 81-19 This is the time and place for a public hearing to
DuVon, G. consider the application of Mr. Gabor DuVon for a
zone change from R-3-S (Multiple Family Residential)
to P-D (Planned Development) and approval of plans,
elevations, and development schedule to allow con-
struction of 46 townhomes on property known as
14301 S. Bascom Avenue in an R-3-S (Multiple Family
Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Meyer reported that the Site and Architectural Review Committee
met with the applicant this morning, and the Committee is making the recommenda-
tion that this item be continued in order that the concerns of the Committee
could be resolved. She noted that the applicant is in agreement with this
recommendation.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience
to speak for or against this application.
No one wishing to speak on this item, Commissioner P~eyer moved that the
Planning Commission continue this item to its meeting of July 7, 1981,
seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.
ZC 81-20 This is the time and place fora public hearing to
City-initiated consider a City-initiated zone change from C-H
(Highway Commercial) to C-2-S (General Commercial)
for properties known as 2855 to 2955 S. Winchester
Blvd.; 3055 to 3385 S. Winchester Blvd.; 457, 471,
480, 485 Chapman Drive; and 331 W. Hacienda Avenue
in a C-H (Highway Commercial) Zoning District.
Mr. Stafford gave information on this item, explaining that at its meeting of
December 2, 1980, the Planning Commission recommended a zone change from C-H
(Highway Commercial) to C-2-S (General Commercial) for those areas currently
zoned C-H once the Interim Zone was lifted or expired. The Interim Zone has
expired, and therefore, Staff is initiating this zone change.
It is noted that approximately 53% of the C-H zoned land is currently used
for automotive uses or has automotive uses approved. The areas which are
likely to be developed or redeveloped include the vacant lands and the
single-family residential lots. Combined, these two uses account for 27%
of the area.
Staff is of the opinion that there is sufficient justification to replace
the C-H District with the C-2-S District for the following reasons:
-9-
1. The C-2-S District would permit similar uses, with more control
by the Commission in some areas. For example, an auto service
center could be considered in the C-2-S District subject to
approval of a use permit. In the C-H District, a use permit
is not required for this use.
2. The C-2-S District would allow more flexibility with regard
to setbacks. The large front yard setback required in the
C-H District (45 feet) is conducive to the development of
parking areas in the front yard.
3. The five commercial zones which now exist in Campbell
(C-1, C-2, C-3, P-D, C-H) are, in the Staff's opinion,
repetitious.
Chairman Kasolas opened the public hearing and invited anyone in the audience
to speak for or against this item.
No one wishing to speak, Commissioner Pack moved that the public hearing be
closed, seconded by Commissioner Meyer and unanimously adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 2018 Commissioner Pack moved that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2018 recommending
a zone change from C-H (Highway Commercial) to
C-2-S (General Commercial) for properties known
as 2855 to 2955 S. Winchester Blvd.; 3055 to
3385 S. Winchester Blvd.; 457, 471, 480, 485
Chapman Drive; and 331 W. Hacienda Avenue in a
C-H (Highway Commercial) Zoning District,
seconded by Commissioner Meyer and adopted by
the following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Pack, Campos, Meyer, Dickson, Kasolas
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: Kotowski, Fairbanks

ZC 81-21 This is the time and place fora public hearing
City-initiated to consider the establishment of a P-D (Planned
Development) Zoning District for the following
properties:
1. 2941-2960 Del Loma Drive (UP 79-24).
2. 1330, 1376, & 1396 W. Hacienda Avenue (UP 79-36).
3. 1201 W. Parr Avenue (UP 80-20).

5. 1165 & 1169 Smith Avenue (UP 80-30).
6. 1155 Smith Avenue (UP 80-32).
Mr. Kee reported that during the period that the Interim Zone was in effect
in the San Tomas Area, six use permits were approved which required that
once the Interim Zone was lifted the zoning be changed to P-D (Planned
Development). He then cited the following information regarding the six
use permits:

6. 1155 Smith Avenue (UP 80-32)

Commission Vote: 5-1-1 (Dickson voting no; Fairbanks absent)
He further stated that the P-D Zoning is required on five of the projects
so as to accommodate townhomes, and on the sixth to accommodate a nine-lot
subdivision. However, it should be noted that these projects have already
been approved and that the rezoning will not affect their design. The re-
zoning to P-D shall only serve to bring the City's zoning map into con-
formance with approved projects.
Chairman Kasolas then opened the public hearing and invited anyone in .the
audience to speak for or against this project.
i
No one wishing to speak, Commissioner Pack moved that the public hearing
be closed, seconded by Commissioner Meyer and unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Dickson explained that on items 3, 4, 5, and 6 he is opposed
to those items in that they are proposed to be constructed at the high end
of the density range, and he feels this is against Council policy.
RESOLUTION N0. 2019 Commissioner Meyer then moved that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2019 recommending
approval of establishment of a P-D (Planned
Development) Zoning District for the following
properties: 2941-2960 Del Loma Drive (UP 79-24);
