R-2-S (Medium Density Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Campos reported that this item has been on the agenda for
approximately two months. The number of units submitted on this plan has
been reduced from four to three. The Architectural Advisor was not satisfied
with the design of the buildings; he feels the design is inconsistent. The
applicant was not present at the meeting of the Architectural Review Committee,
so specific questions could n.ot be asked. The Committee is recommending denial
of this application.
The applicant, Alfred Wilson, appeared before the Commission. He stated that
because of another appointment he was unable to meet with the Committee this
morning. He would prefer that this item be continued.
Mr. Kee stated that if this item were denied, the applicant would have a 10-day
appeal period in which to appeal the decision to the City Council.

(General Commercial) Zoning District.
Commissioner Campos reported that this item was not reviewed by the Committee
this morning.
Mr. Kee stated that this item was continued from the last regular meeting
in order that it could be referred to the Police Department and revised site
plans could be presented that depicted the overall circulation of the site.
The applicant has suggested an additional landscape strip so that traffic
cannot travel completely around the restaurant. The applicant is in the
audience in order to answer any questions the Commission might have.
Commissioner Pack inquired as to what hours the restaurant would be open.
Mr. Egide, applicant for this project, explained that the restaurant would
be open at 10:30 a.m. and close at 11 p.m.
-8-
Much discussion ensued regarding landscaping, fencing and traffic circulation.
Chairman Dickson asked if staff was to contact surrounding neighbors.
Mr. Kee responded that it ended up that surrounding neighbors would not be
contacted.
Commissioner Hebard stated that in order to approve this application, the
Commission should find that this project is compatible with the General
Plan, and in his opinion he felt that it '.'did not aid in the harmonious
development of the immediate area" because of the added people noise and
heavily used parking areas (causing more traffic noise).
Commissioner Pack inquired of the City Attorney if this were legitimate and
in accordance with the zoning ordinance.
Acting City Attorney Muhlfelder responded that a restaurant is an allowed use
in that area, and that he questions Commissioner Hebard's foundation to
substantiate his findings.
Mr. Steve Piasecki of Rincon Avenue in San Jose appeared before the Commission
to speak against the project. He stated that he is concerned about the number
of fast-food restaurants in that area, the traffic and noise generated, and also
the litter.
Mr. Leonard Winston, Architect for the adjoining parcel appeared before the
Commission to state that he did not quite understand Mr. Hebard's logic.
r(Y."~~f-`'At this time Commissioner Hebard moved that S 77-47 be denied because of
'~~ ,~.j~} finding that this development does not aid in the harmonious development of
the immediate area, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and failed by the

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.
Mr. Kee stated that perhaps the Commission might want to also continue this
item since it relates so closely to the application of Mr. Egide. Staff
would recommend a continuance.
Mr. Leonard Winston, architect for the applicant, appeared before the Commission
to discuss the parking spaces required.
Commissioner Hebard stated that if the item were continued he would like the
staff to do a survey of the racquet ball facility on Salmar which would reflect
the times of the day and the number of times observed regarding parking.
Commissioner Samuelson moved that this item be continued to the first meeting
in January 1978, seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously adopted.
At this time Chairman Dickson called for a short break. The meeting reconvened
at 8:55 p.m.

Court in a P-D (Planned Development/Low-Density
Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Campos reported that the Architectural Review Committee recommends
approval of this minor addition to an existing residence.
Mr. Kee stated that staff is recommending approval. At this time Mr. Kee put
the plans up and explained the project. He stated that staff felt it was
important for this to come before the Commission since there might be similar
requests in the future.
Chairman Dickson stated that he would like to see these types of things come
before the Commission.
Commissioner Pack asked if the Commission could be supplied with some criteria
to use as a guideline for such applications.
Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
-10-
Mr. Hawks of 834 Sunnyarbor Court appeared before the Commission to speak in
favor of this application. He stated that the Homeowner's Association meets
regularly and this item had come up at one of the meetings- No one spoke
against this project; in fact, everyone was in favor of it.
Mr. Robert Johnson, applicant, appeared before the Commission to answer any
questions they might have.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Hebard moved that the public
hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 1652 Commissioner Hebard moved that the Planning
Commission adopt a Resolution recommending approval
of a use permit and plans to construct a 5' addition
to the rear of an existing residence located on
property known as 823 Sunnyarbor Court in a P-D
(Planned Development/Low-Density Residential) Zoning
District, seconded by Commissioner Pack, and adopted
by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Pack, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Dickson
NOES: Commissioners: None
ABSENT: Commissioners: Vierhus
Commissioner Hebard moved that staff be directed to contact the Homeowners'
Association with the thought of working with them to develop some type of
guidelines and criteria to limiting or approving additions or modifications
for future requests of this nature.

UP 77-18 This is the time and place for public hearing to
Allen, I. G. consider the application of Mr. Ian G. Allen on
Wilkinson, W. B. behalf of William B. Wilkinson for use permit and
approval of plans to operate a truck rental service
in conjunction with an existing gas station located
on property known as 770 W. Hamilton Avenue in a
C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District.
Mr. Kee located this property for the Commission and stated that this is an
existing Texaco Station. The applicant was notified the first part of
November that this type of use was not allowed on the site, but that he
could apply for a use permit. The staff recommendation is for denial at this
location; this is consistent with past Commission policy and Council policy.
Mr. Kee stated that first of all, this service station is non-conforming; and
secondly, it has been past policy not to allow this type of use at service
station locations. If it were found that it would be compatible with the
area it might be approved by the Planning Commission. It was staff's finding
that it would not be compatible with the uses of this area.
Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Ian Allen, attorney for the applicant, appeared before the Commission to
express his client's desires. He stated that he didn't quite understand the
area requirement for a service station (nearly an acre). He explained that
the truck rentals were for people who desired to move. He also stated that
these trucks would be parked behind the building. He mentioned that if this
request were not approved this might end up being an empty lot since it was
not economically feasible for the applicant to have only the service station
business.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Pack moved that the public
hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and
adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 1653 Commissioner Samuelson moved that the Planning

is presently zoned R-1-8 in the County. Mr. Kee noted that Parcel 71 has
access to Whiteoaks Road and it is suggested that the entire lot be zoned
R-l. The Land Use Element of the General Plan shows high density residential
for Parcel 114.
Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this item.
Mr. Gregory Knapp, owner of 1856 and 1858 Whiteoaks Road appeared before the
Commission to express his objection to the high density zoning. He stated
that he had just built a single-family residence on Parcel 71.
Mr. Joseph Dunaway of 1868 Whiteoaks Road appeared before the Commission to
also express his objection to the high density zoning. He felt there would
be a problem of privacy if a two-story development were to be constructed.

Commission to explain that he planned to develop both Parcels 114 and 119
together, and stated that he would be happy to answer any questions the

the incompatibility of these two uses, and makes every effort to see that they
are as compatible as possible.

in this area. She had voted no on the last prezoning of this nature knowing
that it was against the General Plan. At this time she asked the City Attorney
if he could advise her how to vote on this.

this item.

Central 93 to consider the application of Mr. William H. MacLaughlin
Associates and the Central 93 Associates for: (1) approval of
revised usage of an existing commercial development,
(2) a revised parking design, and (3) plans, elevations
and development schedule to allow construction of a
two-story parking structure located on property known

Architectural Review Committee this morning. Staff displayed the plans in
order that the Commission would have an opportunity to look the plans over
more closely. Commissioner Campos stated that the Architectural Review
Committee was satisfied with the plans, elevations, and design. However,
-t5-
there were two items which. the Committee felt should be brought to the
Commission's attention. The first item concerned a "right turn only" sign
to be installed; the second concern was regarding whether larger type vehicles
would be able to make turning movements in the parking structure. It is the
Committee's recommendation that if this project is approved, these items can
be resolved once the project is completed. .Staff has advised the Committee
that if a "right turn only" sign is warranted it would be installed at the
time of completion.
Commissioner Pack inquired if egress from only the west side of the lot had
been discussed.
Commissioner Campos responded that it had not been discussed.
Mr. Helms stated that he did not believe it would be possible since the
railroad tracks are to the immediate east.
Commissioner Lubeckis inquired if the parking structure was attached in any
way to any of the existing buildings.
Mr. Kee responded that it would not be; however, there would be a trellis
which would be in the walkway.
Commissioner Campos reported that the Committee is recommending approval subject
to the conditions recommended by staff with the exception of Condition No. 2
which the Committee felt should be referred to the Commission.
At this time Mr. Kee explained the background of this project, and stated that
staff is recommending approval of the overall project. He made it clear to
the Commission that staff's concern is that in the event the parking structure
is not constructed, a serious problem might be created in terms of the gross
area of the building in relation to the parking available.
Commissioner Hebard inquired as to how many parking spaces the new structure
would have.
Mr. Kee responded that there would be 154 spaces on the first level and 161
spaces on the upper level; there are presently 306 spaces, the total number
of future spaces would be 466.
Commissioner Hebard inquired if a study had been made on the noise impact of
the parking structure.
Mr. Kee stated that a Negative Declaration had been filed, but a noise study
had not been made.
Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the
audience to speak for or against this time.
Mr. Jim Lyle of Pacific Design Group, architect for the applicant, appeared
before the Commission to explain the position of The Factory and Central 93•
-16-
He stated that the staff's alternative B, as stated in the Staff Comment Sheet,
was agreeable to the applicant with a modification in the wording that rather
than "in an area approved by the Planning Commission"' the applicant stated that
he wished the alternative to read:
"If the Parking District fails, the applicant will build the
parking structure at that location within one year."
The applicant has no objection to the signing of an agreement; however, if it
were to be recorded with the Recorder this would place a cloud on the financial
aspects and therefore he wished to be relieved of that condition. Mr. Lyle
wished to clarify that the use as an existing restaurant could be used, but no
additional restaurants are accepted.
Mr. Kee stated that the desires expressed by Mr. Lyle seemed reasonable to
staff, and suggested that a time limit be placed.
Much discussion ensued regarding the conditions, noise study, and restaurant uses.
Mr. Bill MacLaughlin, applicant, appeared before the Commission. He stated that
he is willing to construct the parking structure if the Parking District fails
and assured the Commission that they did not plan to lease additional space until
completion of the parking structure.
Mr. Kee stated to the Commission at this time that the Architectural Advisor had
also recommended approval of these plans at the Architectural Review Committee
meeting of this morning.
No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Hebard moved that the public
hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously
adopted.
