PUBLIC HEARINGS UP 79-10 This is the time and place for a continued public Torres, T. hearing to consider the application of Raphael & Thelma Torres for a use permit and approval of plans to convert a residence into a sandwich shop on property known as 3265 S. Winchester Blvd. in an Interim Zoning District. Commissioner Kasolas reported that this is the second time that this application has been reviewed by the full Commission as well as the Site and Architectural Review Committee. He noted that there are concerns about a conversion of this type in this area. He further noted that the Committee and the Architectural Advisor are recommending denial of this application on the basis that the suitability of this particular building on this particular site end the proposed use, in -6- conjunction with the present neighborhood and any future long-range plans for the area, are not compatible. Mr. Stafford displayed the originally submitted plans as well as the revised plans for the Commission's review. Mr. Kee explained that a restaurant use at this location would not be objectionable, however a use permit would be required for the conversion of a residence to a commercial use. Ne noted that staff had concerns about compatibility and discussed those in the Staff Comment Sheet; the Architectural Advisor was concerned about the appearance of the building and suitability regarding conversions at this site. He further noted that he felt the Commission could expect similar applications in the future,and that should be taken into consideration as a direction the City might be taking. Commissioner Dickson inquired if the trees would be saved. Commissioner Kasolas responded that they would be. Commissioner Dickson then expressed his concern about the increased number of residences being converted into commercial establishments and the City's concern regarding the proliferation of such conversions, especially along Camden Avenue. He felt if necessary precautions were not taken at this time, a proliferation of commercial establishments of the same nature could occur along Winchester Boulevard. Mr. Kee agreed that the conversions along Camden Avenue have been a concern of the Council in the past. He noted that the Architectural Advisor stated in this morning's meeting that he felt this location was unsuitable. Commissioner Kasolas inquired about ingress and egress. Mr. Kee stated that the proposed plans meet the requirements of the Code. Chairman Samuelson invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Bob Rothman, 20445 Williams Road, designer for the project, appeared before the Commission to explain that this is a proposed gourmet luncheon restaurant. He noted that the owner would not be relying on this business as a sole income, and she has had much experience in the catering business. He mentioned that many famous restaurants have started out in homes. Ms. Renore Smith of 3255 South Winchester Boulevard brought to the Commission's attention that the rear property line of the proposed development was jogged. She inquired about the plans for beautification of the site; and further stated she felt the site would be too small for what the applicant proposed. Mr. Kee explained that one of the conditions of approval called fora landscape plan which would come back for approval by the staff, and there were areas noted on the site plans which would be landscaped. As regards the rear property line, he indicated that there had been a question of ownership; however, that had been resolved and is indicated on the new plans. Ms. Lucy Matsley, 4616 Williams Road, representing the applicant, reported to the Commission that Mrs. Torres has had much experience in the catering business and this would be a gourmet-type sandwich shop. She noted that the amount of $10,000 had been earmarked for landscaping, and Mr. Torres, who is a gardener by profession, would be in charge of the project. -7- Commissioner Dickson inquired if Mrs. Torres owns the property, and if so would shz be the party making the modifications. Ms. Matsley responded affirmatively. Discussion ensued regarding fencing for the project. Ms. Smith, adjacent property owner, felt a masonry wall should be used rather than wooden fencing. Mr. Bob Lewis, realtor, distributed a letter to the Commission members. City Attorney Dempster advised the Commission that this was a matter between the seller and the buyer, and that they should disregard this item. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Dickson moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Kasolas and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION NO. 1787 Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1787 recommending denial of UP 79-10, application fora use permit and approval of plans to convert a residence into a sandwich shop on property known as 3265 S. Winchester Boulevard in an Interim Zoning District based on the fact that the establishment, main- tenance, and operation of the proposed use would be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such use, and be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood and the general welfare of the City because the proposed residential conversion is not compatible with the current or future plans for the surrounding area and the impact of the traffic generated on Winchester Boulevard would be detri- mental. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Kasolas and adopted by the following roll call, vote: AYES: Commissioners: Meyer, Dickson, Campos, Pack, Vierhus, Kasolas NOES: Commissioners: Samuelson ABSENT: Commissioners: None At this time Mr. Kee advised the applicant of the appeal procedure and stated that a letter would be forthcoming advising of the action taken this evening. *** UP 79-12 This is the time and place fora public hearing Booth, R. to consider the request of Mr. R.

Chairman Samuelson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. R. F. Booth, applicant, appeared before the Commission to explain that because of the fuel shortage problem his equipment and truck repair business has been hampered and it is necessary at this time to install a fuel storage tank on site in order to fuel the equipment. He further explained the non- conforming use, which is a residence located in the industrial zone, and noted that the bank that carries the loan on the property requires the house to remain; once the note is paid the house will be removed. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION N0. 1788 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1788 approving the request of Mr. R. F. Booth fora use permit to allow the expansion of a nonconforming develop- ment (installation of a fuel storage tank) located on property known as 841 McGlincey Lane in an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District, UP 79-12, seconded by Commissioner Meyer and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Meyer, Dickson, Campos, Pack, Vierhus, Kasolas, Samuelson NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None UP 79-13 This is the time and place fora public hearing to Surber, C. consider the application of Carol Lee Surber for a use permit to allow the development of an eight-lot subdivision located on property known as 1110 W. Hacienda Avenue in an Interim Zoning District. Mr. Kee reported that a request had been received from the applicant for a continuance to the June 5, 1979, meeting of this item and Item No. 19 on tonight's agenda. Chairman Samuelson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. No one wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that UP 79-13 be continued to the June 5 Planning Commission meeting. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted. *** -9- TS 79-8 Tentative Subdivision Map - Lands of Surber Lands of Surber APN 405-16-121 Since the applicant had requested a continuance of this item to the June 5 meeting, Commissioner Dickson so moved that this item be continued. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted. UP 79-14 This is the time and place fora public Pavlina, P. hearing to consider the application of Mr. Peter Pavlina fora use permit to allow the development of an eight-lot subdivision located on property known as 1005 Virginia Avenue in an Interim Zoning District. Mr. Kee explained that the reason this item is before the Commission is that it is located in an Interim Zoning District. He noted that the Commission may wish to take action at this time on Item No. 18 also, since it is directly related to this item. Chairman Samuelson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Richard Kier, representing the applicant, appeared before the Commission to respond to any questions. Commissioner Vierhus inquired about the street improvements on the Virginia Avenue frontage. Engineering Manager Helms responded that Virginia Avenue is presently improved, but the developer would be constructing new driveway approaches. Commissioner Dickson pointed out to Mr. Kier that there is an existing fence on the south side of the property which is in need of repair. He wondered if there would be some way of closing off the access to the creek when the development is constructed. Mr. Kier responded that the Santa Clara Valley Water District would no doubt want their side of the right of way fenced; the part along the creek adjacent to the development to be fenced. Much discussion ensued regarding ingress and egress, and traffic in that area. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and unani- mously adopted. RESOLUTION N0. 1789 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1789 approving UP 79-14, application of Mr. Peter Pavlina for a use permit to allow the development of an eight-lot subdivision located on property known as 1005 Virginia Avenue in an Interim Zoning District with the finding that this is not a major development, and referring this item to the San Tomas Task Force as an informational -10- item. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Meyer, Dickson, Campos, Pack, Vierhus, Kasolas, Samuelson NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None *** TS 79-7 Tentative Subdivision Map - Lands of Mumma Lands of Mumma APN 403-13-59 Commissioner Dickson inquired if there were a condition imposed to preserve the existing trees on the site, and if not, he felt a condition should be added. Mr. Kee responded that that condition had not been imposed. Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission find that the proposed tract map is in conformance with the General Plan and recommend that the City Council approve this map subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Comment Sheet, with added condition No. 10, which is to read: "Subdivider to make certain that all steps be taken to preserve all trees on the property." This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted. At 9:00 the Commission took a break; the meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m. ZC 79-1 This is the time and place fora continued City Initiated public hearing to consider the City-initiated zone change from C-2-S (General Commercial) to P-D (Planned Development) for property known as 241 W. Sunnyoaks Avenue. Mr. Stafford explained that at the present time there is a General Plan amend- ment before the City Council to change this property from Commercial to Industrial; this zone change from C-2-S to P-D was City-initiated after the recommendation for the General Plan amendment was made to the Council by the Planning Commission. He noted that this item was continued from the Planning Commission meeting of March 6, 1979, in order that it could be reviewed by the San Tomas Task Force. On May 2, 1979, the San Tomas Task Force considered this matter along with the application fora mini-warehouse development on the site. The development plans for the site are also on this Planning Commission agenda as PD 79-1 (Item No. 13). At its meeting on May 2, 1979, the Task Force heard a presentation from the staff and the developer regarding this matter. -11- After considering the evidence presented, the Task Force took no action to recommend approval or disapproval of this matter. The Task Force did, however, request that the Planning Commission be advised of the concerns expressed at the May 2 meeting regarding noise, traffic, and design. Commissioner Campos asked for clarification on the Task Force position regarding this item. Commissioner Pack inquired if the Task Force was opposed to the zone change or the plans. Mr. Stafford explained that both the zone change and plans were presented to the Task Force as a package. Mr. Stafford reiterated that the Task Force did not take action to recommend approval or disapproval of the package as presented. Chairman Samuelson invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Dodd Woodstock of 970 Old Orchard Road appeared before the Commission to inquire about P-D zoning. Mr. Kee explained the P-D zoning within the City of Campbell. Barbara Jones of Sunnyoaks Avenue appeared before the Commission to speak in favor of the P-D zoning since she felt the Commission should review the use of the property because of the residents of the area. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Meyer and unanimously adopted. Commissioner Dickson stated that he was not sure he was in favor of changing this to P-D. He felt the plans should be submitted along with the zone change (plans are being submitted under Item No. 13 on this agenda); he felt it places a bigger burden on the Commission to look at things separately. RESOLUTION N0. 1790 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1790 recommending that the City Council change the zoning for the subject property known as 241 W. Sunnyoaks from C-2-S (General Commercial) to P-D (Planned Develop- ment), (ZC 79-1), seconded by Commissioner Meyer and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Meyer, Pack, Vierhus, Kasolas, Samuelson NOES: Commissioners: Dickson, Campos ABSENT: Commissioners: None *** -12- PD 79-1 This is the time and place for a continued public Pinn, A. hearing to consider the application of Mr. Alan Pinn for approval of plans, elevations and develop- ment schedule to allow construction of a mini- warehouse facility on property known as 241 W. Sunnyoaks Avenue. Commissioner Pack announced that because of a possible conflict of interest she would be abstaining; she then left the Council Chambers (9:30 p.m.). Mr. Kee stated that this item had been reviewed by the Site and Architectural Review Committee this morning, and that Mr. Stafford would give some background on this item. Mr. Stafford displayed the plans for the Commission's review and went over the site layout for the Commission. Commissioner Kasolas reported that the Committee is recommending approval of this application with an added condition No. 8 which would read as follows: "This item to be referred back to the Planning Director upon recommendation of the Architectural Advisor regarding review of floor plans and parkino layout, and provide trash enclosure. This would be in addition to the items redlined." Mr. Kee noted that one of the concerns of the Architectural Advisor was that the material shown to be used was cement block and he felt slumpstone should be indicated. Commissioner Kasolas noted that this piece of property had been before the Commission a number of times; at this time the Site and Architectural Committee is recommending approval. Chairman Samuelson inquired of City Attorney Dempster what would happen if the Commission could not make a determination on a use for this property. The City Attorney responded that there are very few alternatives left; if the Commission and Council decide there is no suitable use for the property then the only alternative would be for the City to purchase it. He asked that the Commission look closely at the alternatives left. He noted that, as he recalled, it was suggested to the owner, by staff, to give consideration to this use. Mr. Kee noted that the Commission had denied two applications for commercial uses. A low intensity use has been indicated and both staff and the Committee are recommending approval; the Traffic Engineer is also in support of this application. Commissioner Campos inquired if the City has purchased property before. City Attorney Dempster responded that the City has purchased property, however it is usually as a result of embarking on a particular program (street improve- ment, construction of a City facility, etc.) Chairman Samuelson declared the hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. -13- Mr. Al Pinn, applicant, appeared before the Commission and gave a description of the mini-storage facility, going over the plans with the Commission. He noted that at the time of application he asked staff what problems had resulted with the two previous applications, and staff had stated that one of the main problems was traffic. He felt that in terms of trips generated per day, the proposed use would create the least amount. He also noted that after discussing site distance problems with the City's Traffic Engineer, the buildings were moved back. He felt this project would meet the needs of the City as well as the neighborhood as regards traffic problems. He noted that another area of concern on previous applications was noise impact. He reported that a sound study had been done last week which showed that this project would have no significant impact on the area; and, in fact, improve the sound levels in the backyards of the adjoining residences. He further stated that this project would be aesthetically pleasing to the area; noting that the use of wood and appropriate landscaping enhanced this project. Commissioner Campos inquired how many storage units there would be, and what the approximate trip usage per day would be. Mr. Pinn responded that there were approximately 200 units proposed. He noted the current CALTRANS figure is approximately 57 trips per day; the nationwide figure is considerably less. Engineering Manager Helms interjected that if apartments or townhomes were proposed for this site, approximately 1400-1600 trips per day would be generated. He noted there would be a very low volume of traffic generated by this use; and, as Mr. Kee implied, this use was recommended by staff because of that. Commissioner Dickson noted that the conditions did not include provision for the prohibition of outside storage. Mr. Kee noted that this was covered in outside storage it would be prohibited. objection to adding such a condition. the ordinance; unless the plans specified He noted that staff would have no Ms. Eileen Sandiland of 842 Old Orchard Road expressed her concern about traffic coming down the off-ramps and the fact that there would be a brick building there; she felt that would be very dangerous. She felt the City should buy the .property and store it for landscaping until the road could be improved. Mr. Dodd Woodstock of 970 Old Orchard Road explained the traffic problems of the area and expressed his concerns to the Commission. Mr. Steve Evarkiou, representing the owner, reviewed with the Commission the background of this piece of property, and the previously proposed uses for same. He stated that the current applicant has made all provisions possible to take care of concerns of the Commission on previous applications for this site. Mrs. Pritchard of 916 Old Orchard expressed her opposition to this project since there would be two-story structures at the rear of her property. Mrs. Pat Woodstock of 970 Old Orchard Road inquired about the letter she had written to the Commission and what their comments were in response to that letter. She also expressed opposition to the construction of two-story structures. -14- Mr. Kee stated that Mrs. Woodstock's letter had been referred to the San Tomas Task Force at the time this item was presented to them. Recording Secretary Wade read into the record a letter dated March 27, 1979 to the Commission from Mrs. Woodstock expressing her concerns about this application. A copy of this letter is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Kasolas and unanimously adopted. Commissioner Dickson inquired if signalization of that intersection was planned. Engineering Manager Helms responded that the Public Works Department continually monitors all of the busy intersections in town, and it is felt that this location is not appropriate for signals at this time; one of the problems with a signal at this particular location would be a rise in the instance of rear-end collisions because of the proximity of the exit ramp from the expressway. He noted that the Public Works Department will continue to monitor this intersection very closely because of the citizens' concern about this location. Commissioner Vierhus stated he felt the Commission has come to a point where it must act on a situation and be practical. He noted that the applicant has come up with a proposal with the least density possible. It is also recognized that the traffic situation in that area is very bad. MOTION Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending approval of plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow construction of a mini-warehouse facility on property known as 241 W. Sunnyoaks Avenue subject to the addition of Condition No. 8 which would read "This item to be referred back to the Planning Director upon recommendation of the Architectural Advisor regarding review of floor plans and parking layout, and provide trash enclosure. This would be in addition to the items redlined" and Condition No. 9 which would read "There will be absolutely no outside storage permitted." This motion was seconded by Commissioner Meyer. DISCUSSION OF MOTION Commissioner Campos spoke against the motion. He stated that when this item was before the Task Force people spoke against the conditions created as a result of the traffic. He felt that it was not so much the development the Task Force was against, but the kinds of traffic problems it would be generating in that area. Commissioner Dickson expressed his opposition to the two-story buildings; he felt this is one of the main approaches to the city and the construction of two-story buildings would be unsightly. -15- VOTE ON MOTION AYES: Commissioners: Meyer, Vierhus, Kasolas NOES: Commissioners: Dickson, Campos, Samuelson ABSENT: Commissioners: None ABSTAIN: Commissioners: Pack At this time Commissioner Vierhus pointed out that with a tie vote the abstaining party could be requested to break the tie. City Attorney Dempster stated that he would consult with Commissioner Pack, and requested a short recess. At 10:50 p.m. the Commission took a break; the meeting reconvened at 11:05 p.m. Commissioner Pack entered the Council Chambers at this time. City Attorney Dempster stated that after consulting with Commissioner Pack she has decided to remain with the decision of abstention because of a possible conflict of interest. The Attorney then noted that this Commission is an advisory body and that this item would be forwarded to the City Council without a recommendation. The City Attorney notified the property owners that they could contact the City Clerk's office to find out when this item would be considered by the City Council. *** PD 79-5 This is the time and place for a public hearing to Lampe, J. consider the application of Mr. James Lampe for approval of plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow construction of 14 condominium units on property known as 549 W. Latimer Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. Commissioner Kasolas reported that the applicant had met with the Site and Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Committee is recommending approval of this application as presented. Chairman Samuelson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Bruce Johnson, architect, appeared before the Commission to answer any questions. He thanked the staff for working with him on the preliminary plans. Commissioner Dickson inquired how far this development would be from the property line. Mr. Johnson responded that it would be 15 feet. Mr. Earl Idenberg of 536 Latimer Circle expressed concern about adequate parking for this new development, since there is already a problem with adequate on-street parking for guests. -16- Chairman Samuelson noted that there would be a total of 35 spaces (14 garages and 21 uncovered) for the 14 units proposed, which meets the Zoning Code requirements. Ms. Ann Thompson of 502 Latimer Circle inquired as to how much the units would be selling for. Chairman Samuelson noted that the selling price would be approximately $90,000. Mr. Gordon Sengenberger of 518 Latimer Circle inquired if there would be parking for guests. Mr. Kee noted that the ordinance had just been revised to require additional parking, and the applicant meets the Zoning Code requirements.
