Sunnyoaks Avenue in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Samuelson reported that with the concurrence of the applicant the Committee is recommending a two-week continuance of this item since the property would result in quite an intensive use. -6- Commissioner Samuelson further reported that the proposed use would generate approximately 1,000 cars per day, and after meeting with the Traffic Engineer it was his opinion that the property might be more viably developed at possibly 100 trips per day. Engineering Manager Helms stated that because of the limited access this is an extremely difficult piece of property to develop. At this time Commissoner Campos moved that S 78-33 be continued to the October 3, 1978 Planning Commission meeting, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. J. .L J. PUBLIC HEARINGS PD 78-14 This is the time and place for a continued public Raffanti, R. hearing to consider the application of Mr. Robert Raffanti for approval of plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow the expansion of an: office building and construction of a parking lot on property known as 234 E. Campbell Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Samuelson reported that the applicant had met with the Site and Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Committee is recommending approval of this application. Mr. Kee noted that the Kirby Company has expressed that they are in favor of the improvement of the alley way and would participate in the improvement of it; and are in favor of the proposed parking lot. He further noted that the improvement of the alley would be between First and Second Streets. Chairman Pack inquired if any changes were being proposed for the front of the building. Mr. Kee responded that only modifications to the back had been proposed. At this time Chairman Pack invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. No one wishing to be heard, Commissioner Samuelson moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Dickson and unanimously adopted. -7- RESOLUTION N0. 1731 Commissioner Campos moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1731 recommending approval of plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow expansion of an office building and construction of a parking lot on property known as 234 E. Campbell Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning District (PD 78-14) seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus .. Ji it UP 78-12 This is the time and place for a public hearing Bartels and Blaine to consider the application of Bartels and Blaine for a use permit to allow a fast-food restaurant on property known as 1651 W. Campbell Avenue in a C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District. Mr. Kee noted that the applicant is requesting a use permit to reopen the former Herfy's restaurant for another fast-food restaurant; the primary concern of staff is the rejuvenation of the landscaping and the proposed signing (both of which would need to be approved prior to the opening of the restaurant if the permit were approved). He further noted that during the original application there was considerable concern by the adjoining neighborhood concerning potential traffic problems; however, it was staff's interpretation that these traffic problems did not materialize with the Herfy's operation. He stated that the Code now requires fast-food restaurants be governed by a use permit which would allow the Commission to add reasonable conditions to insure compatibility with the neighborhood. Chairman Pack inquired of Mr. Kee if anything were planned for the area bordering La Pradera. Mr. Kee responded that it was the intent to use the parking areas as is and as approved previously. At this time Mr. Helms reviewed with the Commission the concerns of traffic exiting onto La Pradera at the time of the original application. He noted that staff was to monitor the driveway every six months, and report back if problems were getting out of hand. He reported that he could not recall a single complaint. Chairman Pack inquired if there would be a problem if the Commission wished to impose a similar condition on this application. Both Mr. Kee and Mr. Helms indicated that there would not be a problem. -8- Commissioner Kasolas expressed his concerns about left turns in such a short span. Mr. Helms stated that there is a two-way, left-turn lane in that area which could accommodate the left turns. Mr. Kee reminded the Commission that since the use permit is revocable, if problems should occur the item could be brought back before the Commission for public hearing to revoke the permit. At this time Chairman Pack invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Ray Bartels, applicant, appeared before the Commission. He explained that since there is a great deal of parking at the upper portion of the lot the ingress and egress from La Pradera is very important; he further noted that many fast-food restaurants have taken the responsibility upon themselves to make certain that .a two- or three-block radius is kept free of trash and debris in order not to cause problems. He assured the Commission that it is his intent to keep the area clean and immediately, if approved, initiate rejuvenation of the landscaping. Commissioner Kasolas complimented Mr. Bartels on the landscaping job at the A & W located at Tully and King Roads. Mr. Al Silva, real estate agent for Herfy's, reported to the Commission that the current traffic circulation pattern was recommended when the original site plan was submitted in 1970. He noted that much vandalism had taken place since the Herfy's restaurant had been closed a year ago. Mr. Roaten Hinson, architect, appeared before the Commission explaining that he had designed the A ~ W at the Tully and King Roads location and spoke highly of Messrs. Bartels and Blaine. Ms. Talene Celli of 1691 La Pradera appeared before the Commission to inquire what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Bartels responded that the extreme would be 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., noting that it would probably close at 10 p.m. during weekdays. Mr. Fettig, 79 Rio Serena, noted that there have been traffic problems in the area. He indicated that it has been very quiet in the area since Herfy's closed. Commissioner Campos asked Mr. Fettig if he felt the Herfy's was the cause of the traffic in the area. Mr. Fettig stated he felt certain that a restaurant at the location was the cause of traffic generated in that area. -9- Mr. Willmes, 1681'La Pradera (speaking on behalf of his father), stated thcause oflconoeneencetfromtCampbell'Avenue and lightsdweredleftwon be until about 12 midnight. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Campos moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Dickson and unanimously adopted. Commissioner Campos expressed his concerns about the traffic problems. Mu ch discussion ensued regarding traffic, hours of operation, and pos- sibly adding a condition which would be similar to the 6-month condition imposed on the previous application for this site. RESOLUTION N0. 1732 Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1732 approving a use permit to allow a fast-food restaurant on property known as 1651 W. Campbell Avenue in a C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District with the added condition that the use permit be reviewed by staff in six months, seconded by Commissioner Kasolas and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: Campos ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus J~ ~~ }~ PD 78_17 This is the time and place for a public hearing Stanton, V. to consider the application of Mr. Vic Stanton for approval of plans, elevations and development schedule to allow construction of a 12-unit townhouse development on property known as 1785 and 1801 W. Hacienda Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/ Low-Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. Commissioner Samuelson reported that the Site and ArjhcanttatathRsvmorning's Committee went over the plans in detail with the app meeting. The applicant was in agreement to a two-week continuance in order that revised plans could be submitted. Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this project. -10- Mr. Glenn Cahoon, architect for the project, appeared before the Commission to state that he was in agreement to the conditions of approval listed by staff. He stated that his client wished to build something attractive that should improve the area, and he is in agreement to the recommended continuance in order that revised plans might be submitted. Meta Hartman appeared before the Commission to explain that people who live in that area like it because of all the room they have. Ms. Hartman expressed opposition to townhomes being built in the area; there are already enough traffic problems at Hacienda and Harriet. She felt three or four 1-bedroom homes would be better than townhomes. Dean Nelson of 1775 Hacienda appeared before the Commission to explain that 12 townhouses compared to only two homes which are there now would certainly make the area much more crowded. Mr. Dennis Labate of 1755 Hacienda stated he would hate to see more people in the area. He indicated that the traffic has increased tremendously, and 12 additional townhomes would only increase the traffic and congestion. He stated he wished to retain the "country flavor." Commissioner Campos expressed his concern about the increasing traffic problems on Hacienda Avenue. He asked that a traffic analysis of this area be made and that a report be presented at the next Planning Commission meeting. Much discussion ensued regarding street improvements in the area, traffic conditions, etc. Mr. Helms stated that he would present a report of existing observations at the Hacienda and Harriet intersection at the next Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Dickson then moved that PD 78-17 be continued to the October 3, 1978 Planning Commission meeting, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. a a The Commission took a break at 9:05 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:15 p.m. a TA 78-4 This is the time and place for a public hearing Hamm/Dell Assoc. to consider a text amendment to the C-M (Controlled Manufacturing) Zoning District. Mr. Kee introduced Senior Planner Bruce Powell who presented the background information on this item. -11- Mr. Powell explained that at the present time the Controlled Manufacturing • zone prohibits retail businesses except for sales to the ultimate customer of items manufactured on the premises. He noted that over the past several years business licenses have been denied to businesses that practiced "in- didental retail sales" due to the ordinance restriction. He stated that an example of a recent request was that of Valley Athletic Supply; this company makes trophies and team uniforms, but also has an incidental sports retail business. He stated that the retail portion of their business would pro- hibit their location in the Controlled Manufacturing zone under the present ordinance. He further noted that staff has met with three of the landowners in the area who feel that retail businesses, when compatible with the Con- e trolled Manufacturing Zone, should be allowed; and staff supports the re- quested text amendment and feels that adequate controls can be used to insure the manufacturing environment. Chairman Pack 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 Dickson moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION N0. 1733 Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1733 recommending that the City Council adopt proposed amendments to Chapter 21.30, C-M (Controlled Manufacturing) District, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus .V J. .4 GP 78-13 This is the time and place for a public hearing Stefani, H. to consider the application of Mr. Hugo Stefani fora change in the General Plan from Commercial to Medium Density Residential for a portion of property located at the northwest corner of San Tomas Aquino Road and Elam Avenue. Mr. Stafford, Senior Planner, reported that the applicant is proposing to amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan from "Commercial" to "Medium Density Residential" for a portion (approximately 0.88 acres) of the site now occupied by the San Tomas Village Shopping Center, which is presently zoned C-1-S. _ 12_ Mr. Stafford presented further background by stating that in 1965, under proceedings known as ZC 75-16, the owners of the shopping center received approval of a zone change from R-1 to C-1-S for the subject area, as well as for additional property to the north along San Tomas Aquino Road. At that time the property owner indicated that a commercial zoning was neces- sary to allow for expansion of the shopping center; the applicant is now indicating that the shopping center has not prospered as anticipated and that there is not a demand for a larger shopping facility. Staff concurs that there has been some difficulty experienced by this shopping center and the Rolling Hills Shopping Center to the south in attracting tenants. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed amendment since a residential use generates significantly less traffic; staff is also recommending approval of a residential use for this area since the existing single-family residence may have historic significance for the community. Should the Commission determine that an amendment to the General Plan is in order, staff is recommending a P-D zone in order that consideration can be given to incorporating the existing residence in any future development. Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Roaten Hinson, architect for the project appeared before the Commission to explain that his clients plan to put this area to a better use. He explained that he is very familiar with the area, having grown up there. Mr. Charles Lisenby of 1294 Elam Avenue brought to the Commission's attention the fact that so much of the trash generated by the existing shopping center blows across the street to the properties on Elam Avenue, and wondered if something could possibly be done about that. Mr. Kee indicated that staff would contact the store owners and apprise them of the conditions. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Dickson moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION N0. 1734 Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1734 recommending amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan from "Commercial" to "Medium Density Residential" fora portion of property located at the northwest corner of San Tomas Aquino Road and Elam Avenue (GP 7$-13), seconded by Commissioner Kasolas and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus Commissioner Dickson moved that if the City Council concurs with the Commis- sion's recommendation staff be directed to initiate a zone change to R-2-S -t3- for the subject area, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus .. GP 78-t4 This is the time and place fora public hearing Open Space Element to consider an amendment to the Open Space Element of the General Plan. Mr. Stafford pointed out that earlier this year the City of Morgan Hill had some problems since its Open Space Element did not comply with State require- ments, and after some review it was found that Campbell's Open Space Element had some areas needing review. He noted that in January the Commission considered the draft of a revised Open Space Element and at that time action was taken to refer the matter to a committee to consider possible alternatives to the proposed draft. The Committee (consisting of the Chairmen of the four advisory commissions and one Councilman) met on several occasions to review the Element; they felt two areas were weakest: the Open Space Action Plan and the Open Space Inventory. The City Council was presented with the draft of a revised Open Space Element in August and then requested that it be referred to the advisory commissions for comment. All commissions have responded and are endorsing the draft as presented. Mr. Kee pointed out that the Open Space Element would be establishing a policy of the General Plan. The ordinance (to be considered next on the agenda) would be an execution device of the City to implement the plan. Chairman Pack declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mrs. JoAnn Fairbanks of 1565 Hacienda Avenue read into the record a letter she had written to the Commission regarding retention of open space within Campbell. A copy of this letter is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. Mr. Kee stated that at this time there are no monies available to purchase open space land (or surplus school sites) however provisions have been made in the Open Space Element under "Goals and Policies" to "acquire school sites when they become available in areas that could be justified for park and open space purposes." -14- Chairman Pack noted that on page 3, "III Action Plan, B." reference is made to the Planning Policy Committee. She noted that this Committee had been disbanded and suggested the words "the Planning Policy Committee for" be omitted. Mr. Don Hebard, 205 Calado, appeared before the Commission to state that he had been on the Committee and wanted to clarify that one of the reasons for concern about Campbell's open space policies was the fact that they were not meeting the requirements of the State. He further mentioned that the ques- tion of surplus school sites should be kept separate from the establishment of the ordinance and element. He noted that the ordinance and element lay the groundwork for the City to take actions legally and properly if the City should desire to acquire any land. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Kasolas moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Campos and unanimously adopted. At this time Chairman Pack wished to thank all the commissions and chairmen of the commissions for all their time and effort. She noted that the results of their efforts turned out to be very viable. RESOLUTION N0. 1735 Commissioner Kasolas moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1735 recommending approval of the Open Space Element as presented with a deletion of the words "the Planning Policy Committee for" under III. Action Plan, B., seconded by Commissioner Dickson and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus ;; a a TA 78-5 Public hearing to consider a proposed amendment Open Space to the Zoning Ordinance to include an Open Space Ordinance Chapter. Since this item had been discussed along with the Open Space Element, Chairman Pack 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 Dickson moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. -15- RESOLUTION N0. 1736 Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1736 recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed draft of an Open Space Ordinance, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus At this time Commissioner Dickson moved that the Commission make the finding that the proposed Open Space Ordinance is consistent with the Open Space Element of the General Plan, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Campos, Dickson, Samuelson, Kasolas, Pack NOES: Commissioners.: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus A At this time, with the Commission's concurrence, Chairman Pack went on to item Nos. 14, 15, ~ 16 since people in the audience were waiting for these items to be discussed. MISCELLANEOUS GP 77-2 Request of Mr. Marvin A. Bamburg for approval Bamburg, M. of a revised development schedule for an approved motel development to be located at 675 E. Campbell Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning District. Mr. Kee stated that the request was for an eight-month extension of a pre- viously approved development schedule, however staff is recommending a one- year extension for simplicity of recordkeeping. Commissioner Dickson moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council a one-year extension of the previously approved development schedule, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted. a TS 73-10 Tentative Subdivision Map - Lands of Michael's Lands of Michael's Drive Joint Venture. APN 413-44-12 and 117. Drive Joint Venture Mr. Kee explained that the City Council approved the plans, elevations and development schedule for a 20-unit townhouse development on this property in July 1978. He noted that the tentative subdivision map is necessary to separate the original lot into 20 townhouse lots and one common ownership lot. He further noted that the proposed map conforms with the approved site plan, and the Land Use Element of the General Plan indicates High Density Residential (21 to 27 units per gross acre; the project will be developed at a density of 19.23 units to the acre). -16- Commissioner Samuelson moved that the Planning Commission find that the proposed subdivision map is in conformance with the General Plan and that it be recommended that the City Council approve the tentative map subject to the conditions listed in the Staff Comment Sheet, seconded by Commissioner Campos and unanimously adopted. ;t ;; ;; Referral from Referral from the City Council regarding closure City Council of schools in the community and loss of open space. Surplus School Sites Mr. Kee noted that the City Council, on May 22, 1978, considered a letter from Mr. Renaldo Santa pertaining to the closure of schools. The Council referred this matter to the Planning Commission for review and comments since the Commission would be responsible for recommending changes in the land use and zoning for any vacant school sites. He further noted that the Commission took action to continue this matter on two occasions, pending the results of the study being undertaken by the Open Space Committee; and on August 14, 1978 the Committee presented its findings and recommendations to the City Council in the form of a revised Open Space Element to the General Plan and a new Open Space Ordinance (both of these items have been recommended for approval by tine City Council this evening). Staff is recommending that the Commission rive consideration to including all public school sites in the 0-S Zoning District. It is recognized that there is little the City can do to affect the decision to close a school, however the City does have considerable control over subsequent development of abandoned school sites in the private sector. The 0-S Zoning District would not preclude development of a former school site, but would effectively restrict the intensity of any such development. The City Attorney inquired of the Planning Director what the intent of this zoning is, since in light of Proposition 13 the City would not be in a position to purchase the surplus school sites. Mr. Kee responded that it is not the intent to restrict sale of the site, it is merely to restrict intensity of development. Chairman Pack noted that this was not a public hearing, however anyone who might wish to address the Commission could do so at this time. Mr. Jim Wylie inquired of the Planning Director if there were a State law which requires cities to acquire a certain amount of open space Mr. Kee responded that it is a requirement of the State that cries have an Open Space element, however the State has no requirements as far as amount of open space. Sharon Welton, 1663 Fawn Court, Campbell appeared before the Commission to express her concern about the lack of open space and play areas for children. She stated she felt that the surplus school sites would be excellent locations for child care centers. -17- Mr. Jerry Johnson of 624 Ginden expressed his luscschoolositesebeacon~erted City parks and it was his desire that any surp to park usage.
