7ak«moto, D.T. the application of David T. Takamoto, A.I.A., for a
variance to Section 21.51.040 of the Campbell Municipal
Code to allow a reduction in the required landscaping
fora commercial development located on property known
as 2260 South Bascom Avenue in a C-2-S (General Commercial)
Zoning District.
Chairman Lubeckis asked Mr. Kee far his comments.
t~1r. Kee stated that the staff recommends denial without prejudice. The subject
variance is riot a proper procedure to deal with the request and it was staff's
error in posting the item on the agenda. The next item on the agenda is for
site approval and there are mechanics within the zoning ordinance to allow the
Planning Commission to consider landscaping at the time they consider the site
plans. Staff recommends denial without prejudice to remove the item from the
agenda.
Chairman Lubeclcis declared the public hearing open and asked if anyone tNished to
be heard.
There being no one wishing to speak, Commissioner Samuelson moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 1560 Commissioner Vierhus moved that the Planning Commission
adopt Resolution No. 1560 denying without prejudice the
application of David T. Takamoto fora vari<nce to
Section 21.51.040 of the Campbell Municipal Code,
seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and adopted by the
following roll call vote:

"S" 76-37 Application of David T. Takamoto, A.I.A. for approval
Takamoto, D.T. of plans to construct a commercial buildin on property
known as 2260 S. Bascom Avenue in a C-2-S General
Commercial) Zoning District.
- `4 -
Corrunissioner Pack reported that the Architectural Review Committee met with the
representative from Mr. Takamoto's firm and would recorranend approval subject to
the conditions recommended by staff.
She added that the plans look very good for this particular site, which is a
narrow piece of property and in an area that needs some upgrading. The appli-
cant is providing 12 parking spaces vrhich results in a ratio of one space for
every ?_16 square feet of gross building area. The site plan indicates that
approximately 6% of the net lot area will be landscaped and the applicant will
require an exception to the landscape ordinance as provided in Section 21.51.130.
Commissioner Hebard requested that the plan be presented for review by the
Commission as this is the first time that the Commission has been asked to
consider a reduction in the landscaping requirement.
Mr. Kee stated this is a 50 foot wide lot between two developments, one of
which is in the County. Five parking spaces are provided at the rear of the
buildiiny and access is provided by an easement.
In order to have a five foot landscape strip at the front, it would require
that the building be pushed back, and in the staff's opinion this would be
detrimental to the consistency of development along Bascom Avenue and provide
an awkward circulation pattern. The ordinance does provide that the Commission
may approve less landscaping as provided in Section 21.51.130 of the 7_oning
Ordinance, but would require that the Commission make the following findings:
1. That there are special conditions and situations existing, the effect of
Vrhich would result in the denial or enjoyment of substantial property
rights of the applicant;
2. That the granting of the exception will not be materially detrimental or
contradictory to the scheme of the improvements of properties immediately
adjacent;
3. That the plans demonstrate a quality landscape proposal.
The adjoining properties have less landscaping than provided in this development.
Canmissioner Hebard stated that another way of solving the problem would be by
reducing the size of the building. He asked staff if there was some tray of
providing landscaping that conforms to the ordinance without the exception by
giving up sorme parking.
Mr. Kee stated there was not--the lot was only 50 feet wide and the only way
to increase the landscaping would be to reduce the size of the building, push
it back on the lot and make the parking circulation awkward.
After considerable discussion on the proposed parking, landscaping and site
layout, Commissioner Pack moved that "S" 76-37 be approved subject to the
conditions recommended by staff and with a change in Condition No. 2 to read:
"Landscape plan indicating type of plant material, location of hose bibs or
sprinkler system and type of fencing to be submitted for approval by the
Planning Commission at time of application for building permit".

Chairman Lubeckis asked Mr. Kee for his comments.

constructing a 104 unit apartment complex far the elderly to be developed in
two phases. The General Pian for this area is reflected as high density residential
for the site and the area to the west and south. The properties to the east are
indicated as medium and io~~r-medium density residential and across Budd Avenue to the
north is low density residential. John D. Morgan Park is located to the northwest.
It is the staff's opinion that a residential care home for the elderly can best be
acconunodated through the Planned Development proceedings.
Chairman Lubeckis asked if anyone in the audience wished to be heard.
There being no one wishing to speak, Commissioner Vierhus moved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.

Density Residential) Zoning District.
Chairman Lubeckis asked for the report of the Architectural Review Committee.
Commissioner Pack reported that the Architectural Review Committee met vrith the
applicant and discussed the comments that have been made concerning the project.
The Architectural RevieGV Committee recommends approval of the pro,;ect and the staff
also recommends approval. The application was continued from the last meeting in

and the County Housing Authority.
The Civic Improvement Commission had some comments and they were discussed at the

on 1.75 acres of land, -which will result in a density of appro>:imateiy 6?_ units:
per net acre. Per. Kee reviewed Phase I and Phase II of the development and pre-
sented a rendering for the Commission's review. Mr. Kee reported that Mr•. Burns
of the County Housing Authority had contacted the staff and had the following
remarks regarding the project:
1. In his opinion, this is a good project.
2. The size of the apartments seem to be somewhat small. (288 square feet)
3. 4lould recommend sliding doors rather than swinging doors for bathroom entry
where seniors are involved.
4. Bathrooms should include appropriate hardware for assisting the elderly.
Chairman Lubeckis asked the applicant to come forward and reply to the questions
referred to the Commission by the Civic Improvement Conunission.
Mr. Robert L. McKee, applicant, replied to the 18 questions submitted by the Civic
Improvement Commission as follows:

beautiful area ~vill take the place of balconies.

to answer questions regarding the outward appearance and aesthetics of the
buildings.

no fault to find with the plans.

4. Five staff people will be assigned to the complex.
5. The units would rent for $400 - $475 for a single and $550 - $625 for couples
or double occupancy. 4Jould include three meals a day and utilities. These
figures were based on a feasibility study.
6. There will possibly be a median between low and middle income residents.
Affluent Christian Scientists have no difficulty in finding housing.
7. If a resident becomes disabled a close friend or relative will be notified.
No medical certification will be required in order to qualify for residency
unless required by la~v. No one would be put out until adequate provision
for their care is made.
8. Ttris is a new concept. Would be available for working mothers and ,,vould
provide a harmonious atmosphere for the very young with the older people.
The access was discussed rvith the Architectural Review Committee. The
nursery would be at the rear of the property and the parking would be
available on the left and within easy walking distance of the area.
9. The units will nat be furnished. Most of the older people will want to have
their own furniture with them.
10. Utilities will be included. Telephones will be at the expense of the
resident.
11. They anticipate that the project will be managed by a husband and wife team
who will live on the property 24 hours a day. There will be liaison between
the board and the management.
12. A11 residents of the facility must be members of the Christian Scientist Church.
That is the only church connection that the home will have. Residents will not
be on the board unless there would be a vacancy on the board and one of the
residents would be nominated to fill the vacancy.
13. There will be a laundry in each building.
14. Yes there will be a daily check on the residents through the manager.
15. There will not be a paid recreational director. However, there will be a mini
bus to take the residents to church, lectures, etc. They feel that the residents
will not require a great deal of activity.
16. The property will be fenced on three sides. The side along Budd Avenue will not
be fenced.
17. This is not an activity of the church. No one Christian Science Church is the
sponsor. A group of Christian Scientists in the area have been working on this
concept for the past ten years--a home for Chr°istian Scientists. It is not
being built to sell.
-9-
18. There will not be covered parking spaces. Possibly 2 or 3 could be covered for
visitor parking.'
Commissioner Pack asked for a clarification as to the residents. It was her under-
standing that they must be Christian Scientists.
Mr. McKee replied that was correct.
Commissioner Dickson asked Mr. McKee about the concerns expressed by Mr. Burns of
the County Housing Authority pertaining to sliding doors and hand rails.
Mr. McKee indicated that this would be no problem.
Commissioner Pack asked if a project specifically for senior citizens had to comply
with State standards on safety equipment.
Mr. f~1cY.ee replied that he could not answer that, but in developing a nursing facility
they had to comply with all State requirements.
The architectural project manager responded by advising that when the plans are sub-
mitted fora building permit a]1 of these things will be shown on the plans. The
bu~ild~ing inspector, fire department and other agencies will review the plans. At
this stage, tine plans are a master plan in concept and deal raith parking, occupancy,
landscaping, etc.
Chairman Lubeckis asked if anyone in the audience wished to be heard.
Mr. Del Lunde, 123 4lilton Drive, was concerned about the use of the left hand corner
of the propert:y prior to development in Phase II and also the day care center--
he questioned hose many children a~ould be permitted. Also, what type of .fencing
would be provided around the property.
h1r. Kee advised that the type of fencing and landscaping will need to come back to
the Planning Staff for approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. There
will be no access to any street other than Budd Avenue. Mr. Kee pointed out the area
proposed for the day care nursery and advised that the zoning ordinance does provide
for day care centers in residential zones. Fie stated this is a minor part of the
proposal and there is a large area available for such a use. The staff did not feel
that the nursery ~~~ould create a noise problem as supervision would have to be pro-
, vided. There ar•e very stringent requirements for safety from the Fire Marshal.
Commissioner Hebard moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner
Di rkson and unanimously adopted.
RESOLUTION N0. 1562 Commissioner Pack moved that the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. 1562 recommending that the City Council

R-1. This zone would be consistent with the General Plan. It is the applicant's
intention to develop the parcel as a standard R-1 subdivision with detached housing.
The previously approved P-D project approved for the site which incorpor°ated attached
and detached townhouses has been dropped.
Chairman Lubeckis declared the public hearing open and asked if anyone wished to be
heard.
Mrs. Yvonne i~1endevil, 1393 Estralita Way, asked rvhy R-1 was again being considered.
Would the area residents have anything to say about an R-1 development.. She stated
that it is a difficult piece of property to develop and asked that it stay P-D.
Mr. Kee stated that if the property is zoned R-1, the applicant may apply for a
subdivision map to develop the property and in accord with the zoning ordinance
there is no r,equirenrent that the neighborhood be notified for R-1 development.
However, he requested that Mrs. Mendevil leave her address Nrith the staff and
she would be notified when a subdivision map is filed. The P.-1 would permit less
than six houses per acre and he did not see horn that many houses could be placed on
this parcel of property.
Mrs. Mendevil expressed concern about the fencing and requested that the area be

G.P. 76-2-C Continued public hearing to consider the future use of
West Valley blest Valley College Site.
College Site
Chairman Lubeckis asked Mr. Kee for his comments.
Mr. Kee advised that the staff recommends continuance to the first Planning
Commission meeting in December, 1976. The staff has been in contact with
Dr. Salsbury and he advised that some ~i nf,ormati.on; woul d be fortirco-ni ng wi thi n the
next week and on that basis the staff felt that it would be appropriate to have
another two week continuance on the public hearing.
The sixty day time period has expired after the Campbell Union School District
notified public agencies that the West Valley College Site had been declared
surplus property. Dr. Salsbury indicated that he would have a report available
in a week or so.
Conunissioner Pack stated that she was disturbed that Dr. Salsbury did not see
fit to write the Conunission a letter, when he knew this item would be on this
agenda. She was of the opinion that there was sufficient time from November 9,
when a staff member talked to Dr. Salsbury, for him to have had a letter in
response.
Commissioner Pack moved that G.P. 76-2-C be continued to the December 2nd meeting,

Study Session Chairman Lubeckis advised that the study session of t~Te
City Council with ail advisory commissions has been
changed to Tuesday, November 30th, 7:30 p.m. in the
City Hall Council Chambers.
CorTUnissioner Dickson brought up the subject of related items appearing on the
same agenda. It is confusing if comments related to both applications are on
one ConIITTP.nt sheet, and also it can be confusing if they are separated.
CormTissioner Hebard agreed and stated that when there are combined it.eds such
as a use permit and approval of plans, possibly staff's comments should be
directed to each item - speak to the use permit and then to the plans. This
would clarify the matter.
Campbell Marine Commissioner Hebard stated that the Campbell Marine
project on Winchester and Hamilton has boats parked
all over the area and he questioned what has happened
to their required parking. Mr. Kee advised that staff
would have a report back to the Commission on the
December 2nd agenda.
