The Planning Commission of the City of Campbell convened this day in regular session at the regular meeting place, the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 75 North Central Avenue, Campbell, California. Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Pack, ROLL CALL Samuelson, Lubeckis, Secretary Arthur A. Kee; Present Senior Planner Philip Stafford; City Attorney J. Robert Dempster; Engineering Manager Bill Helms; Recording Secretary Jeannine Wade. Absent Chairman Dickson Vice Chairman Pack stated that she will be chairing the meeting in Chairman Dickson's absence. APPROVAL OF Commissioner Hebard corrected the December 20, 1977 minutes, page 9, paragraph 9, to indicate that his MINUTES motion should read "Commissioner Hebard moved or denial of S 77-47 with the findings that the site layout fails to provide a buffer or barrier between the vehicle parking area and the adjoining residences to adequately protect those residents from the vehicle noise and airlxollution and the people noise of such an intensively used parking lot. The site layout therefore does not meet the requirement of the Site and Architectural Zoning Ordinance that the Commission find the 'proposed development is compatible with the General Plan and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate neighborhood. "' Vice Chairman Pack corrected the minutes on page 4 first paragraph to reflect that she did not make the motion. Cor~nissioner Samuelson indicated that he had made the motion. Commissioner Lubeckis moved that the beneterovedtas regular meeting of December 20, 1977 PP amended, seconded by Commissioner Hebard, and unanimously adopted. COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Kee stated that communications received related to specific items on the agenda. He noted that the announcement on the League of California Cities 1978 Planning Commissioner's Institute had been distributed to the Commission and that it would be discussed at the end of the meeting. ARCHITECTURAL APPROVALS S 77-47 Continued application of Mr. James A. Egide and Egide, J. Five Star Industries, Inc., for approval of plans to construct a Taco Charley Restaurant on property known as 70 S. San Tomas Aquino Road in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. Commissioner Campos reported that this item had not been discussed at the Architectural Review Committee meeting this morning. Vice Chairman Pack noted that this item had been continued from the last meeting in order that a full Commission might be present to vote on it. Since a full Commission is not present this evening, she stated that it might be in order to entertain a motion to continue this item to the next regular meeting of the Commission. Mr. Kee reminded the Commission that the 60-day time limit in the ordinance for Site Approvals has come up, and in order to continue this item the applicant would have to be in agreement with this. City Attorney Dempster recommended to the Commission that they vote on this item this evening if the applicant does not wish a continuance. Vice Chairman Pack indicated that it might be helpful if staff were to go over the plans once again. At this time City Attorney Dempster pointed out to the Commission that the City Council, at their meeting of December 27, 1977, had discussed the Commission's memo regarding the limitation of restaurant use in certain areas. He stated that the Council had decided not to take this up at that time, but would consider it at a future meeting. Mr. Kee explained the proposed project, which is adjacent to this proposal. He been distributed to the Commission this Piasecki who spoke to the Commission ab~ Mr. Kee asked Vice Chairman Pack if the read into the record. as well as the next item on the agenda mentioned that a communication had evening which was from Mr. Steve gut this project at the last meeting. Commission would like this communication Vice Chairman Pack indicated that it might be helpful to have the communication read into the record since all of the Commissioners had not had time to read it. The Recording Secretary read into the record the communication from Mr. Steve Piasecki, dated January 3, 1978, which is incorporated into the record and attached hereto. -2- Mr. Kee mentioned that there were exhibits attached to the letter indicating different positioning of the buildings on the lot. He reminded the Commission that the proposal before them this evening is the only one to which staff has directed comments. Commissioner Hebard inquired of the City Attorney what would happen if the Commission again reached a 3-3 tie vote. The City Attorney responded that the motion would fail, with no recommendation; thus, it would be considered a denial and the applicant would have the right to appeal this to the City Council. The City Attorney at this time told the applicant that he would have seven days to appeal a decision of the Commission to the City Council, and reminded the applicant that it must be in writing. Commissioner Vierhus asked that the original motion made by Commissioner Hebard again be read. The Recording Secretary read the motion entertained to the Commission at the meeting of December 20, 1977 which stated: "Commissioner Hebard moved for denial of S 77-47 with the findings that the site layout fails to provide a buffer or barrier between the vehicle parking area and the adjoining residences to adequately protect those residents from the vehicle noise and air pollution and the people noise of such an intensively used parking lot. The site layout therefore does not meet the requirement of the Site and Architectural Zoning Ordinance that the Commission find the 'proposed development is compatible with the General Plan and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate neighborhood. "' Commissioner Hebard inquired if the applicant would like to indicate whether or not he would like the Commission to proceed. Mr. Egide, the applicant, stated that even if this item were continued to the next meeting there would be the risk of the full Commission not being present. He inquired of the City Attorney as to what would happen if a motion were made to deny the project and again a tie vote of 3-3 were reached. The City Attorney responded that the application this time would then be considered denied for lack of a motion either denying it or favoring it because of the time period which has run out. Again he stated that the applicant would have seven days in which to file a written appeal to the City Council. He also stated that there could not be a motion to continue this item unless the applicant were in agreement with that. Mr. Egide stated that he was not adverse to a continuance, but again stated that there was a risk of not having a full Commission present at the next meeting. -3- At this time the City Attorney advised the Commission to make an attempt to reach a majority vote on this application, one way or the other. Commissioner Lubeckis stated that he felt this matter was more an emotional issue than fact. At this time he moved that S 77-47 be approved subject to the conditions listed by the Planning staff. This motion died because of a lack of a second to the motion. Commissioner Hebard then moved for denial of S 77-47 with the findings that the site layout fails to provide a buffer or barrier between the vehicle parking area and the adjoining residences to adequately protect those residents from the vehicle noise and air pollution and the people noise of such an intensively used parking lot. The site layout therefore does not meet the requirements of the Site and Architectural Zoning Ordinance that the Commission find the proposed development is compatible with the General Plan and will aid in the harmonious development of the immediate neighborhood. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Samuelson NOES: Commissioners: Lubeckis, Pack ABSENT: Commissioners: Dickson Discussion on the motion. Vice Chairman Pack inquired of Mr. Kee if this were in accord with the ordinance that the Commission must look at for this application. Mr. Kee responded that it seemed to staff that it was within the realm of the ordinance. Commissioner Hebard clarified that the motion does not state that such a use cannot be placed at that location; it does not deny the zoning rights. It only states that if such a use is allowed there it must meet this requirement regarding-the site layout. The City Attorney then stated to the applicant for the record that if he wished to appeal this to the City Council, he should submit a letter in writing as soon as possible (the time limit would be seven days). The applicant asked if there were an appeal fee. Attorney Dempster answered that there is not an appeal fee. S 77-25 Continued application of Mr. Leonard W. Winston for Winston, L. W. approval of modifications to previously approved plans to construct a racquet club on property known as 108 S. San Tomas Aquino Road in a C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. -4- Vice Chairman Pack explained that this application is fora racquet ball facility which would have been adjacent to the Taco Charley Restaurant in the previous application. Mr. Kee stated that the staff has two points to make. One of the questions raised by the applicant at the last meeting was whether or not the parking ratio as indicated on the site plan was in the Commission's opinion a reason- able ratio. The staff report stated that the 46 spaces would be sufficient to provide good on-site parking. This site approval is within the same time frame as the previous item just considered and it would be important to consider the two together. The staff recommendation on parking is that what they have shown is in line with what is required in other cities. Mr. Kee also noted that a decision should be reached on this item this evening unless the applicant is in agreement to a continuance Commissioner Vierhus inquired if the racquet ball facility had already been approved. Mr. Kee stated that it had. Commissioner Vierhus then inquired if there had been a change in parking, and asked if the plan originally approved remains the same. Mr. Kee stated that there had been a change in parking, which staff has indicated to be adequate. He stated that a survey had been performed at the Salmar Avenue racquet ball facility and the results are as follows: Time Date No. of Vacant Spaces 3 p.m. December 28 10 - rear 3 - front 8:10 a.m. December 29 21 - rear 11 - front 10 a.m. December 29 14 - rear 0 -front 5 p.m. December 30 7 - rear 1 - f ron t Mr. Kee stated that the 60-day time period is in effect and the Commission should take action on this application at this time. If this application is denied, the originally approved application would be in effect. The Commission must take some kind of action on this; approval, denial, or continuance. Commissioner Vierhus moved that S 77-25 be approved subject to the following conditions: CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - S 77-25, Leonard W. Winston -5- 1.

Commissioner Campos reported that the applicant had met with the Site and ` Architectural Review Committee this morning. He stated that there would be additional information from staff. Mr. Kee reported that Mr. Powell had met with the applicant this afternoon, and there was a verbal request that this item be removed from the agenda. The applicant indicated that he would make a new application. Commissioner Hebard stated that there is currently an existing sign there. Mr. Kee stated that it was his understanding that the name "Togo's" would be removed from the application before the Commission at this time. Commissioner Pack stated that since this is an existing sign the Commission should either approve or deny this request. Commissioner Lubeckis stated that he felt this mural should be completely painted over. Commissioner Campos reported that the applicant is a new owner of Togo's and was not aware of procedures to be followed for signs. Commissioner Vierhus stated that he felt by denying this request the feelings of the Commission would be better known. Commissioner Hebard stated that this building is under a PD approval, which was based upon a certain architectural design; and he felt that this was altering the architectural appearance of the approval. Commissioner Vierhus moved that SA 77-56 be denied based on the following findings: -12- 1. The number and size of individual signs shall be no greater than is needed to adequately identify the business. 2. Sign is oriented towards a residential neighborhood, not to Campbell Avenue. 3. This building was originally approved under a PD ordinance with an architectural design of an "English Pub" and the existing sign is not in conformance with this originally approved design. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Dickson Commissioner Campos inquired if a denial would automatically remove the existing sign. Mr. Kee stated that the applicant would have the right to appeal this decision to the City Council. PUBLIC HEARINGS PD 77-3o This is the time and place for public hearing to Boyd, R. consider the application of Mr. Richard Boyd for approval of plans to construct an industrial building on property located at 222 Dillon Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District. Commissioner Campos reported that the applicant had met with the Site and Architectural Review Committee this morning. He stated that the Committee is recommending denial. This request is for a prefab building to be placed on the site. Mr. Kee stated that the Planned Development Zoning District provides for development which clearly demonstrates amore desirable environment and use of land than would be possible under any other zoning classification. It is the staff's and Architectural Advisor's opinion that the proposed metal building is inappropriate for this Planned Development area. Commissioner Vierhus stated that the applicant had stated in the Site and Architectural Review Committee meeting that there was an exisiting metal building in that area on City property. Mr. Kee stated that the area had been checked and no building existed. -13- Vice 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 Samuelson moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Vierhus and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION NO. 1658 Commissioner Samuelson moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1658 recommending denial of plans to construct an industrial building on property located at 222 Dillon Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development) Zoning District, seconded by Commissioner Vierhus, and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Dickson PD 75-4 This is the time and place for continued public Campbell Building hearing to consider the application of the Campbell and Investment Building and Investment Company, Inc., for approval Company, Inc. of plans, elevations, and development schedule to allow construction of an office building on property known as 54 N. Central Avenue in a P-D (Planned Development/Commercial) Zoning District. Vice Chairman Pack noted that this is a continued public hearing and that the staff is recommending a continuance to the first meeting in March 1978. Mr. Kee stated that recent legislation has provided that an application cannot be continued for more than one year. If some action has not been taken on the item during that time period, then it is approved. Commissioner 1lebard inquired of the applicant if he had been waiting for the determination on the Parking District. Mr. Dick Hardy, who was in the audience, replied that that is correct. Commissioner Campos moved that PD 75-4 be continued to the first meeting in March 1978. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted. -14- MISCELLANEOUS STAFF REPORT ABAG ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Mr. Kee introduced Mr. Philip Stafford, who gave a brief synopis of the Plan to the Commission, and offered to answer any questions. Commissioner Hebard inquired if the recommendation should be so limited insofar as funding is concerned. Mr. Kee stated that he felt the key word was "undue" increases in local taxes; the City Council is obligated to establish the tax rate within the community. The intent of the recommendation was not to commit the City to all that is recommended in this proposal. Commissioner Hebard stated that he felt the extra phraseology was unnecessary. Vice Chairman Pack stated that since the Planning Commission's function does not normally deal with costs, perhaps the statement of support would be sufficient. ~` Commissioner Hebard moved that the Planning Commission adopt a motion expressing support for the recommendations in the Draft ABAG Environmental Management Plan, seconded by Commissioner Lubeckis, and unanimously adopted. ELECTION OF OFFICERS FOR PLANNING COMMISSION - 1978 Commissioner Hebard moved for the appointment of Peggy Pack as Chairman and Carl Samuelson as Vice Chairman of the Planning Commission for 1978, seconded by Commissioner Vierhus and unanimously adopted. COMMENDATION TO CHAIRMAN DICKSON RESOLUTION N0. 1659 Commissioner Hebard moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1659 expressing appreciation to J. DuWayne Dickson for serving as Planning Commission Chairman during 1977, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Pack NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: Dickson -15- NEGATIVE DECLARATIONS Commissioner Hebard mentioned that he had requested that Negative Declarations be included in the agenda packets. He stated that he was under the impression that this would be a simple check list. Mr. Kee stated that the Negative Declaration is quite long (usually about seven pages) and reproducing enough copies for all Commissioners for each application could be quite costly. Vice Chairman Pack suggested that staff check into the procedure used by the City of Petaluma. She stated that they have implemented an Environmental Impact Questionnaire which is quite concise. Mr. Kee stated that staff would look into this further. FAST-FOOD OPERATIONS Commissioner Samuelson inquired if staff could obtain a copy of an article referenced by Mr. Piasecki in regard to the application for S 77-47 at the December 20, 1977 meeting regarding fast-food operations. Mr. Kee indicated that staff would try to obtain copies for the Commission. LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES 1978 PLANNING COMMISSIONERS' INSTITUTE Mr. Kee stated that the announcement on the 1978 Planning Commissioner's Institute had been handed out to each Commissioner prior to tonight's meeting. He asked that anyone wishing to attend please let the Planning Department know as soon as possible in order that reservations could be made and checks obtained in advance.
