Mr. Kee stated that the applicant has orally requested that this item be removed from the agenda; we have nothing in writing at this time, however Mr. Stafford received a call from the applicant making the request. Chairman Dickson asked if the correspondence relating to this item should be mentioned at this time. Mr. Kee answered affirmatively, and stated that the correspondence should become a part of the record. Chairman Dickson stated that two communications had been received; one from Mrs. Margie Marumoto, dated October 23, 1977, and one from Mr. Robin P. Sandiland, dated October 27, 1977.

Commissioner Vierhus moved that "S" 77-35 be denied without prejudice, seconded by Commissioner Hebard, and unanimously adopted. At this time Chairman Dickson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to address the Commission regarding this item. Mr. Dod T. Woodstock of 970 Old Orchard Road, Campbell, appeared before the Commission to state that, as a matter of public interest, a lot of time has been spent by neighbors and citizens in that area regarding traffic hazards. He felt that future proposals or plans for development of that property should involve a great concern for the traffic hazard as the condition now exists. He also felt that serious thought should be given to improvements in order to alleviate the hazardous conditions. Commissioner Hebard inquired if Mr. Helms had been discussing this item with the neighbors in that area. Mr. Helms replied that he had met with the adjacent property owners, and would be meeting with them again on Wednesday, November 9, 1977, at 10 a.m. in his office and invited anyone interested to attend.

PUBLIC HEARINGS ~~~~~ 77-1 This is the time and place for public hearing Wilson, A. to consider the application of Mr. Alfred Wilson for a variance to Section 21.50.020(2) of the Campbell Municipal Code to allow a 12'-0" drive- way in lieu of the required 20'-0" on property known as 257 W. Rincon Avenue in an R-2-S (Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. Mr. Kee located the referenced property on a map for the Commission, and explained the difficulty in getting to the rear portion of the lot. He stated that the owner is requesting a variance in order to allow a 12'-0" driveway rather than a 20'-0" driveway, and that staff was recommending denial. Mr. Kee stated that the next item on the agenda is an application for approval of plans to construct a four-plex on the rear of this property. Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Alfred Wilson, owner and resident of the property, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Wilson stated that it was his understanding that the main reason for the 20-foot entrance was for fire safety. He said that he had spoken with the Fire Chief and a representative of the water company, and they suggested that he install a fire hydrant in the back of the property in order to alleviate any fire safety problems. He presented a copy of the Fire Chief's and Water Company's statements to the Commission. Mr. Wilson explained to the Commission that in order to provide a 20-foot driveway the existing building (single-family residence) would have to be torn down, and he felt that this would create a hardship. The house was constructed in 1945, and is architecturally well built. Chairman Dickson reminded the Commission that in order to grant a variance a unique hardship must be proven to exist. Mr. Kee stated that generally the purpose of a variance is to provide for a unique circumstance. The fact that a single-family house is located on the front portion of the lot is not a unique circumstance. He also mentioned that a one-way driveway would not be sufficient for the planned number of units the owner desires to build on his property; staff feels that three units would be maximum in addition to the existing dwelling. -6- Commissioner Vierhus inquired as to whether the nun.:•_er of units built could be limited as part o f the approval of the variance. Mr. Kee replied that a limitation could not be placed on the variance. At this time Chairma n Dickson cited several questions from a "Check List for Variance Cases" which was an appendage to the previous City Attorney's (Joseph A. Bonacina) legal opinion on variances, dated August 20, 1968. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION 1642 Commissioner Hebard moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1642 recommending approval of a variance to Section 21.50.020(2) of the Campbell Municipal Code to allow a 12'-0" driveway in lieu of the required 20'-0" on property known as 257 W. Rincon Avenue in an R-2-S (Medium Density Residential) Zoning District for access to the rear of the property and this variance be confined to that distance of the driveway adjacent to the existing house, based upon the findings that: (1) the requested variance is in accordance with the check list for granting variances, and (2) this variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements in the district in which the property is located; seconded by Commissioner Vierhus, and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Pack, Lubeckis, Dickson NOES: Commissioners: Samuelson ABSENT: Commissioners: None "S" 77-39 Application of Mr. Alfred Wilson for approval Wilson, A. of plans to construct a four-plex on the rear of property known as 257 W. Rincon Avenue in an R-2-S (Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. Mr. Kee stated that under the circumstances, staff would recommend denial of the plans as submitted; however, in light of the action taken by the Commission on the variance, staff would recommend a continuance to the next meeting in order that plans might be resubmitted by the applicant. Commissioner Campos moved that this item be continued to the next meeting in order that revised plans could be submitted, seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously adopted. -7- UP 77-12 This is the time and place for continueu Bartell, N. public hearing to consider the applicatior~ Elfer, E. of Mr. Norman Bartell and Mr. Ed Elfer for a use permit and approval of plans to convert an existing residence into an office on property known as 69 E. Hamilton Avenue in a P-0 (Professional Office) Zoning District. Commissioner Campos reported that the applicant and his attorney met with the Architectural Review Committee this morning and submitted revised plans, and gave an oral report. It was the opinion of the Architectural Advisor and Committee that this item be continued for two weeks in order that the applicant have an opportunity to submit further revised plans. Commissioner Hebard moved that this item be continued to November 15, 1977 in order that revised plans could be submitted, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted. UP 77-14 This is the time and place for continued Oburn, K. public .hearing to consider the application of Mr. Kenneth Oburn for a use permit and approval of plans to allow construction of a two-story residence on the rear of property known as 77 S. First Street in a P-D (Planned Development/Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. Commissioner Campos reported that the applicant had met with the Architectural Advisor and Architectural Review Committee this morning, and the Architectural Advisor feels that the revised plans are quite acceptable; the question of set back has been resolved--it will be 10' from the rear property line. Mr. Kee stated that the Architectural Advisor is recommending approval and the staff recommends approval subject to the 10' rear yard area. Commissioner Campos reported that the Architectural Review Committee also recommended approval. Chairman Dickson 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 Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted. Commissioner Hebard stated that he felt he could not support this use permit because of the P-D zoning. He felt there wasn't an integration of this development between the building in the back and the building in the front. Chairman Dickson asked Mr. Kee if this item would be brought before the City Council. Mr. Kee replied that it would be. -8- RESOLUTION 1643 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1643 recommending approval of a use permit and approval of plans to - allow construction of a two-story residence on the rear of property known as 77 S.

Corporation for a use permit to allow conversion of part of an industrial building into a restaurant on property known as 186 E. Sunnyoaks Avenue in an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District. Mr. Kee explained that this application was for an existing 720 square foot restaurant in an existing industrial building. Mr. Kee stated that the restaurant places emphasis on lunch-time sandwiches. The staff feels the use proposed is justified and recommends approval. Commissioner Hebard asked if this item had been before the Commission previously. Mr. Kee replied that there is a restaurant near this facility that had come before the Commission, but this one had not. At this time he located the subject property on an aerial photo for the Commission. Commissioner Vierhus inquired as to how long this restaurant had been in existence. Mr. Kee replied that he was not certain, but a use permit had never been approved for this particular business. Staff had only become aware of this in the last few months. Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. J. A. Heim, operator of the restaurant, appeared before the Commission and stated that the existing restaurant had been in existence fora little over one and a half years, and that they were operating under a business license. Chairman Dickson inquired if the City had a check list they followed in _- issuing business licenses. -g- City Attorney Dempster replied that the City does have a check list and it is in the process of being revamped in order to prevent situations such as this. Mr. Don Rose of Hazelwood Avenue appeared before the Commission, and wanted to know where the restaurant was located and if this establishment would be selling beer and wine. Mr. Kee located the property on a map for Mr. Rose. Mr. Kee explained that the applicant was applying for a use permit for the restaurant, and that the sale of beer and wine was contingent upon approval of the Board of Equalization. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION 1644 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1644 recommending approval of a use permit to allow conversion of part of an industrial building into a restaurant on property known as 186 E. Sunnyoaks Avenue in an M-1-S (Light Industrial) Zoning District, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Pack, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Dickson NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None Z.C. 77-14 This is the time and place for public hearing to Prezoning consider the prezoning of properties proposed for Quito 77-5 annexation to the City of Campbell under proceedings known as Quito 77-5 as R-1 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District. Said properties are located at 1680, 1690 and 1750 Westmont Avenue; and 1094, 1105, 1115, 1120, 1132, and 1135 Harriet Avenue. Mr. Kee reported that the staff recommendation is that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that this area be prezoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential). This annexation is composed of 6.31 acres, and is zoned R-1-8 in the County. He stated that this is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Commissioner Pack inquired as to what the zoning was of the areas adjacent to this property. Mr. Kee explained that on Westmont the zoning is R-1 to the east and all the way around the property. To the west is out of the Sphere of Influence, but there are single-family residences. Mr. Kee located the property on an aerial photo. Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. -10- No one wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION 1645 Commissioner Pack moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1645 recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving the prezoning of properties proposed for annexation to the City of Campbell under proceedings known as Quito 77-5 as R-1 (Single-Family Residential) Zoning District; said properties located at 1680, 1690 and 1750 Westmont Avenue and 1094, 1105, 1115, 1120, 1132, and 1135 Harriet Avenue; seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Pack, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Dickson NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None Z.C. 77-15 This is the time and place for public hearing to Prezoning consider the prezoning of properties proposed McGlincey for annexation to the City of Campbell under proceedings known as McGlincey 77-6 as R-3-S (High Density Residential) and/or P-D (Planned Development} Zoning Districts. Said properties are located at 268, 280, 282, and 300 Union Avenue. Mr. Kee explained that this annexation is composed of 1.90 acres which is presently zoned R-1-8 in the County. The Land Use Element of the General Plan reflects this area for High Density Residential (21-27 units per gross acre). Either R-3-S or P-D would conform to the density indicated on the plan. The State requirements are that zoning be consistent with the Land Use Element of the General Plan and either one of these would be consistent. We have both those zonings along Union Avenue at present. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that this area be prezoned R-3-S or P-D. Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Frank Petteway, representing one of the property owners, appeared before the Commission. On behalf of the property owners, he stated that a P-D Zoning would be preferred because of the flexibility it allows. Mr. Kee stated that a recommendation of one zoning or the other would be needed from the Commission. He also stated that the depth of the lot would indicate that they may have some difficulty with an R-3 zone, and that P-D might be more appropriate since it would give more flexibility. No one else wishing to be heard, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public hearing be closed. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and unanimously adopted. RESOLUTION 1646 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1646 recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving the prezoning of properties proposed for annexation to the City of Campbell under proceedings known as McGlincey 77-6 as P-D (Planned Development/High Density Residential) due to the irregular shape of the property; said properties located at 268, 280, 282, and 300 Union Avenue; seconded by Commissioner Samuelson, and adopted by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners: Hebard, Campos, Vierhus, Pack, Samuelson, Lubeckis, Dickson NOES: Commissioners: None ABSENT: Commissioners: None Commissioner Hebard mentioned that most of this area, as it shows in the General Plan, is high density. He is concerned that this area has become an area of very dense population. Commissioner Pack also had concerns about the high density in this area. Mr. Kee mentioned that the next review of the Land Use Element of the General Plan would be at the second meeting in January. Commissioner Hebard moved that staff be directed to look at this area at the time of the General Plan review at the second Commission meeting in January 1978, seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously carried.

Request of Conversion of a residential building at 110 Father Gregory Post West Latimer Avenue into a rectory and chapel. Mr. Kee advised that the staff recommends that the Planning Commission make a determination that the conversion of a residence to a rectory and chapel is allowable subject to the applicant securing a use permit and Architectural approval. He stated that the ordinance is unclear as to the conversion for church purposes; however, there is on record a con- version to mini-skools. Commissioner Hebard moved that a determination be made that the conversion of a residence to a rectory and chapel is allowable subject to the applicant securing a use permit and Architectural approval, seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously adopted. Staff Report Fourth Year Housing Assistance Plan (H.C.D.) Mr. Kee introduced Mr. Thom McCue, Housing Coordinator. Mr. McCue reported on the draft "Housing Assistance Plan - 1978-79" which would be before the City Council at their meeting of November 14, 1977. Mr. McCue advised the Commission that the staff was requesting the Commission to look at this plan to see if it is in compliance with the Housing Element of the General Plan, and forward comments to the City Council for approval. Mr. Kee stated that in the staff's opinion, it is in accord with the Housing Element. He also stated that because of the timing, action by the Commission is needed at this meeting. Chairman Dickson asked if this year's plan was similar to last year's. Mr. McCue stated that it was.

Mr. Kee stated that he had been to a recent seminar in San Francisco regarding the General Plan and different elements, and stated that problems in other cities had arisen because the elements were not in accord with guidelines of the State. Mr. Kee recommended that this be reviewed with the City Attorney as soon as possible and post for public hearing if any revisions were necessary. Commissioner Hebard moved that the Open Space Element of the General Plan be reviewed with the City Attorney, and post for public hearing if any revisions are in order, seconded by Commissioner Pack, and unanimously adopted. Downtown Development Chairman Dickson stated that since the Commission had approved a use permit in the P-D Zoning District of the downtown area, he wondered if the Commission might receive some guidelines from the Council as to what type of developments they might like to see in this area. He inquired as to whether there is a study session planned with the City Council in the near future. Mr. Kee stated that to his knowledge there was not. Commissioner Hebard stated that a separate study session for this might be in order since this had not been discussed with the Council since the completion of the "loop street." Mr. Kee stated that he would bring this matter up at the next Council meeting and ask that a study session be set for discussion. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Samuelson moved that the meeting be adjourned, seconded by Commissioner Lubeckis, and unanimously adopted. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 p.m. APPROVED: J.
