SA 78-51 Appeal by Mr. James M. Dresbach of a decision of the
Atkins TV Planning Director which denied part of an application
for signing for Atkins Television located on property
known as 2051 S. Winchester Boulevard in a C-1-S
(Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Vierhus reported that the applicant had met with the`Site and
Architectural Review Committee this morning to discuss his appeal. He noted
that the Committee recognized the applicant's problems and need fora sign;
he further noted that the applicant had recently painted his building, covering
up the existing sign. The Committee felt that because of this location, the
sign on the side of the building (facing Campbell Avenue) is needed. The
Committee is therefore recommending approval of the sign "ATKINS TELEVISION"
(deleting the sales message "ZENITH, Sates, Services, T.V.'s, Stereos,
Antennas, 378-3800").
Mr. Kee stated that after discussion by the Site and Architectural Review
Committee and the Architectural Advisor, staff has no problem with the
approval recommended by the Committee. He further reported that staff felt
the sales message (which has been recommended for deletion) was not in
accord with the ordinance for identification of a business but since that
had been deleted staff would concur with the recommendation of the Committee.
-5-
Commissioner Samuelson, member of the Sign Review Committee, stated he
would support this recommendation since the advertising portion of the sign
was recommended for removal.
Commissioner Vierhus moved that SA 78-51 as modified, reading "ATKINS
TELEVISION" and deleting the sales message "ZENITH, Sales, Services, T.V.'s,
Stereos, Antennas, 378-3800," be approved, this motion was seconded by
Commissioner Kasolas, and unanimously adopted.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
ZC 78-10(2) This is the time and place for a continued public
City of Campbel l hearing to consider the application of the City of
Campbell for prezoning of property located on the

and 413-48-36, 66, 67, and 68 for M-1-S (Light
Industrial), R-1 (Single Family Residential), and
P-D (Planned Development) Zoning.
Mr. Kee stated that staff is recommending that the Commission recommend that
the subject area be prezoned as shown on the Exhibit attached to the Staff
Comment Sheet. He noted that it follows the City Council action taken on
the Land Use Element of the General Plan on August 28, 1978; he further
noted that the prezoning, or for that matter zoning, is required by State
law to follow the Land Use Element of the General Plan for General Law
cities such as Campbell.
Mr. Powell displayed a map of the area and pointed out particular areas
under consideration at this time.
Chairman Pack then invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against
this item.
Mr. Ollie Nelson inquired about future subdivision of his property and
inquired if the action taken this evening would preclude his possible
rezoning at some future time.
Mr. Kee responded that prezoning must follow what the Land Use Element of
the General Plan calls for, and the Council has established that the existing
zoning will currently remain. He stated that other applications could come
in at a later date and request that this again be considered.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Campos and unanimously adopted.

known as 1871 and 1961 Pollard Road and 1536 and
1560 More Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/
Low-Medium Density Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Vierhus reported that the applicant had met with the Site and
Architectural Review Committee, and the Committee felt that this plan was
even better than the originally approved plan. The Committee is recommending
approval.
Mr. Kee stated that the architect for the project was present, and felt he
might like to make a presentation to the Commission.
Chairman Pack declared the hearing open and invited anyone in the audience
to speak for or against the project.
Mr. Larry Lagier, architect for the project, stated that this project has
been expanded since additional property had been purchased from P.G. E.
There would be 0.72 acres added to the development, bringing the total to 6.76
acres. The total number of units would now be 59 rather than 56 as originally
submitted (two of the units are existing residences). He reported that parking
is indicated at 166 spaces with 17 spaces in a "Landscape Reserve", and this
would result in a ratio of 2.81 spaces per unit with a possible of 3.1 spaces
per unit if the landscape reserve were converted into parking. He noted that
the overall density is being decreased from the originally submitted plan.
Mr. Lagier went over the plans with the Commission and answered any questions.
Mr. Kee noted two important points: (1) .72 acres has been added to
the project, however, the units per acre has been reduced (from 9.1 units
per acre to 8.72 units per acre), and (2) overall parking ratio has increased
from 3.0 spaces per unit to 3.1 spaces per unit.
Commissioner Vierhus noted that Mr. Larry Lagier had served as an Architectural
Advisor to the Planning Commission in the past.
Commissioner Dickson entered the Council Chambers at 8:48 p.m.

hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted.

Commissioner Dickson inquired of the City Attorney if he could vote on
this item, noting that he had reviewed the Staff Comment Sheet and under-
stood how the project was being expanded.

would certainly be prudent for him to vote.
Chairman Pack noted that she would be abstaining because of a possible
conflict of interest.
RESOLUTION N0. 1730 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 1730 recommending
that the City Council consider approval of plans,

authority to reduce the setback requirement on existing single-family
residences to a minimum of five feet, and it is the staff's opinion that
the construction of the addition would be in keeping with the past reductions
of side yards. He further noted that the applicant has submitted a letter

ITEMS BROUGHT UP BY COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Dickson expressed his concern regarding the budget cutbacks
as a result of Proposition 13. He stated he felt since the Planning
Commission handles so many mandated items that all city interface would
be cut out as a result of the budget cuts. He went on to say that he
felt communication between the Planning Commission and the League of
California Cities was very important. It was also his understanding
that the League was planning to dispose of the yearly Planning Commissioners'
Institute. He felt the information gained by the interaction was very
valuable to the City and that the City Council should consider this in
determining the outcome of the budget.
Mr. Kee stated he felt the tasks of the Planning Commission were a little
different than those of other commissions and that was an important fact
in determining the budget; he stated he has expressed that and would be
happy to represent that at the budget sessions.
It was the consensus of the Commission that a letter should be sent to
the City Council, prior to the budget hearings on September 18, specif-
ically outlining the duties of the Planning Commissioners as opposed to
other commissioners.
Commissioner Kasolas also felt that the benefits of attending League-
sponsored activities should be forwarded to the Council; i.e., future
of surplus school sites, EIRs, etc. He felt too that the amount of time
one spends as a Commissioner should also be taken into consideration.
Chairman Pack asked that staff draft a letter, for her review prior to
sending to the Council, setting forth the views of the Commissioners.

Commissioner Vierhus announced that he would not be attending the
September lg or October 3 Planning Commission meetings; he had planned
to be out of town during that time.
