Dillon Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/Industrial)
Zoning District.
Commissioner Vierhus reported that the applicant had met with the Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Committee is recommending
approval subject to the addition of a condition which would read "Trash enclosure
area and driveways to be approved by the Planning Director." He noted that the

plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow
construction of two industrial buildings on property

(Planned Development/Industrial) Zoning District, with

seconded by Commissioner Meyer and unanimously adopted

NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: None
At this time the Commission considered Item No. 10 on the agenda.
ZC 78-18 This is the time and place for a public hearing to
City Initiated consider a proposed City-initiated zone change from
from R-3-S (High Density Residential) to P-D (Planned
Development/High Density Residential) for properties
known as 386, 400 and 420 Union Avenue (APNs 413-43-38
and 163).
Mr. Kee reported that under proceedings known as GP 78-11 (Union Avenue)
the Planning Commission considered possible amendments to the Land Use Element
of the General Plan for the Union Avenue area, and the subject properties were
- 7-
recommended for "Low-Medium Density Residential." He noted that when this
recommendation was before the City Council on June 12, 1978, the Council
took action to have the subject properties remain as "High Density Residential"
on the Land Use Element; action was also taken to instruct the Planning Commission
to initiate a zone change from R-3-S to P-D for the subject properties.
Mr. Kee stated that staff is recommending the P-D (High Density Residential)
zoning at this time, since it would be consistent with the General Plan, and
would allow the City a greater degree of control over any development; while
at the same time allowing a developer greater flexibility in designing the
project.
Commissioner Vierhus inquired what the alternative zoning would be should
the Commission decide P-D zoning would not be the best.
Mr. Kee stated that the Commission could recommend that the zoning remain as
is, R-3-S, which is consistent with the General Plan.
Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this proposed zone change.
Mr. Bill Errico of 14680 Hancock Court, Los Gatos, appeared before the Commission
to explain that he is one of the property owners of the area under consideration
(420 Union Avenue). He noted that his property was under development at the
time the City Council considered the General Plan change, and that he spoke in
favor of the zoning remaining as is, as well as the General Plan designation.
He stated that when he built his apartments the zoning was R-3-S and that his
mortgage company approved his loan on the premise that the zoning would remain.
He further stated that if his apartments were to burn down, he may not be able
to rebuild (nor probably attain a loan for) as many units as he has at the
present time; he therefore requested that the Commission strongly consider
leaving the zoning as R-3-S. He noted that he had future plans to develop
the adjacent property, and had an agreement with Mr. Gardner (the property
owner) regarding this development.
Mr. Jim Beech of 418 S. Henry Avenue (owner of 386 Union Avenue) appeared
before the Commission to state that at the time of annexation he was told
that R-3-S zoning would no doubt be initiated and that was one of the reasons
he was for the annexation. He expressed the strong desire that the area under
consideration remain R-3-S.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Dickson and unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Kasolas indicated the minutes should reflect that the main concern
was that of the existing property owners and any inequities that they might suffer
as a result of the change of zoning.
RESOLUTION N0. 1751 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission
adopt Resolution No. 1751 recommending that the zoning
for 386, 400 and 420 Union Avenue remain R-3-S (High
Density Residential), seconded by Commissioner Samuelson
and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote:

and are known as 1500 E. Hamilton Avenue; 411 N. Leigh
Avenue; and 1463, 1481 and 1495 Picadilly Place.
Mr. 1<ee reported that the subject prezoning will be under consideration for
annexation within the near future; at the present time the parcels are developed
and the prezoning is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
(The office building is existing and the lots which are proposed for R-1
Single Family prezoning on the north side of Picadilly Place are also developed.)
He further noted that the lots on the south side of Picadilly Place are
currently within the city limits of Campbell, and if and when the prezoning and
the proposed future annexation are completed the entire cul-de-sac will be
within the City of Campbell.
Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this project.
Mr. Richard Benevento, representing Mr. John Caravella (the owner of 1451
Picadilly Place) appeared before the Commission to express thanks to Mr. Kee
for explaining the prezoning so thoroughly; he stated that all his questions
had been answered by the facts presented in Mr. Kee's presentation.
Mr. Robert O'Neil of 1481 Picadilly Place inquired of Mr. Kee if once the
zoning were established, could it be changed at some time in the future.
Mr. Kee responded that the Land Use Element of the General Plan could be
considered for change as many as three times per year for different areas,
and the zoning would have to be consistent with the General Plan.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Kasolas moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Vierhus and unanimously adopted.

Mr. Kee responded that the General Plan currently indicates residential
and/or office for this area.
Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this application.
Mr. Dale Corona, owner of the property, appeared to explain the project to

schedule to allow the addition of five single-family
detached homes to an existing two-unit development on
property known as 1428 and 1440 W. Hacienda Avenue.
Mr. Kee reported that since revised plans had not been received on this

its meeting of December 5, 1978.
Commissioner Vierhus moved that ZC 78-15 be continued to the Planning
Commission meeting of December 5, 1978, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson
and unanimously adopted.

Mr. Kee reported that at its meeting of September 19, 1978, under proceedings
known as GP 78-13, the Planning Commission considered an application for a
General Plan amendment for the subject property requesting a change in the
Land Use Element from "Commercial" to "Medium Density Residential". He noted
that when this item was before the City Council on October 9, 1973, the Council
took action to endorse the Commissioner's recommendation fora change in the
Land Use Element from "Commercial" to "Medium Density Residential" and expressed
its support for P-D zoning for the subject property. Staff is recommending a
zone change from C-1-S to P-D to keep the zoning consistent with the recently
revised General Plan.
Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Don Rose spoke in opposition to any additional residential units being
built in that area; he felt the problems generated by the children at the
San Tomas Gardens Apartments were already out of hand.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Samuelson moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Vierhus and unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Dickson stated he could not understand why a P-D zoning should
be placed at this time; he felt the Commission should have the opportunity to
review the plans before zoning P-D.
Commissioner Campos stated he would also prefer to see plans before a zoning of
P-D is placed.
Commissioner Kasolas mentioned that San Tomas Gardens Apartments is reviewed
by the Planning Commission every six months.
Commissioner Samuelson stated he drives by this area quite often and he
wouldn't want to stand in the way of it becoming developed; he would
definitely support the P-D zoning since it allows a certain flexibility.
Commissioner Kasolas inquired of Mr. Kee what the difference in procedure
would be between an R-M zoning and a P-D zoning.
Mr. Kee responded that in an R-2 zone a development would only require site
approval, which would be presented to the Planning Commission (public hearing
would not be required); in a P-D zone a public hearing would be required before
both the Planning Commission and the City Council. He noted that density
would be the same for both zoning categories.

Commission recommended that the Land Use Element of the General Plan for

Discussion of Motion
Commissioner Samuelson moved that the Planning
Commission adopt a resolution recommending a
zone change from P-F to P-D for 420 4J.
Campbell Avenue.
Commissioner Dickson strongly expressed his concern regarding P-D zoning
used throughout the city; he felt the city was aiming toward a planned
development community, and he felt P-D zoning should be held to a minimum.
He further stated that he felt the best type of~government was the least
amount of government, and placing P-D zoning without any clear reason was
adding many unnecessary steps, cost, and bureaucracy.
Chairman Pack agreed, stating she could not see the point of P-D zoning.
The City Attorney stated that whatever recommendation was forwarded to the
Council, if the ultimate decision were other than P-D the area could be
renoticed at that time to follow legal procedures.
Commissioner Dickson inquired what the difference would be between R-M and
R-2 zoning.
Mr. Kee responded that in an R-2 zone 20 units per acre would be the maximum
and in an R-M zone 13 units per acre would be the maximum.
Commissioner Dickson again stated that with P-D zoning he felt that an increased
level of government was added.
