flow to Hacienda, which is a wide street narrowing down and then widening
out again. There is now a traffic problem on that street during heavy traffic
hours and he asked if there is any remedy to that situation.
Mr. Helms advised that Hacienda Avenue is slated to be a g0 foot fight of way,
70 feet curb-to-curb carrying four lanes of travel. There is no time table
for developing the full street - some has already been done and it is pretty
much dependent upon the abutting property owners as properties develop.

Mr. Kee advised that the staff recommends continuance of ZC 76-7 to the
October 21, 1976 meeting in order that this item can be considered after a
hearing on a change to the General Plan, as required by State law.
Chairman Lubeckis declared the public hearing open on ZC 76-7.
Commissioner Hebard moved that ZC 76-7 be continued to the meeting of
October 21, 1976, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.

Use Permit 75-1, boarding home for aged (6 ambulatory
persons) on property known as 1285 West Campbell
Avenue in a R-2-S (Multiple Family/Medium Density
Residential) Zoning District.
Mr. Kee advised that this item and the next item on the agenda are related
and that the staff is recommending continuance of both items to the first
meeting in November, 1976 in order that the Fire Marshal can be in attendance
when the public hearings are held.
Commissioner Hebard moved that UP 75-1 be continued to the November 4, 1976
meeting, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.
UP 76-12 This is the time and place for continued public
Ruffenach, Karen hearing to consider the request of Karen Ruffenach
for a use permit to allow a residential care
home for six elderly people on property known as
1265 West Campbell Avenue in a R-2-S (Multiple
Family/Medium Density Residential) Zoning District.
Commissioner Hebard moved that UP 76-12 be continued to tl~e November 4, 1976
meeting, seconded by Commissioner Campos and unanimously adopted.
UP 76-13 This is the time and place for public hearing
Ring, Andrew James, III, to consider the application of Andrew James Ring, !II
A.I.A. A.I.A., for a use permit and approval of plans to
construct a drive-in/sit-down restaurant on property
known as 1595 South Winchester Boulevard in a
C-1-S (Neighborhood Commercial) and a C-2-S (General
Commercial) Zoning District.
Chairman Lubeckis asked Commissioner Pack for the .report of the Architectural
Review Committee.
Commissioner Pack reported that the committee met with the applicant and
recommends approval subject to the conditions recommended by staff. She was
of the opinion that this is an excellent project and will enhance the corner
of Winchester and Hamilton.
Mr. Kee advised that the staff has recommended approve of the use permit and
plans subject to the conditions attached to the staff report and has also recom-
mended that the Planning Commission set a public hearing to consider changing
the zoning from C-1-S and C-2-S to C-}-S for the entire site.
-6-
Commissioner Hebard stated that the use permit and approval of plans are
4~nder consideration at this time, and he would have preferred to have had
the items separated to make it clearer as to what is being considered.
Mr. Kee stated that the staff could, in the future, make two items with the
public hearing for the use permit first, followed by the presentation of the
plans. However, the Commission usually would have questions when considering
the use permit as to how the project will look.
Mr. Kee stated that the staff has recommended approval of the use permit,
as well as the plans.
Commissioner Hebard stated that in the staff discussion there is no mention
of the use permit and he would assume that the project is a permitted use
in this zone.
Mr. Kee advised that the item would not be on the agenda if it were not
a permitted use in the zoning districts involved. However, staff recommedation
#2 recommends that the Planning Commission set a public hearing to consider
changing the zoning districts from C-1-S and C-2-S to C-1-S for the entire site.
Commissioner Hebard stated that this particular corner can certainly use some
quality development, however, his concern was that from a traffic standpoint
this is one of the most congested intersections in the City.
Mr. Helms advised that the Public Works staff f~as looked at the layout and
the ingress and egress to the property and has no objections. In the staff's
opinion, there are possibly other types of uses that would generate more
traffic. He was of the opinion that the circulation is designed very well
to eliminate the kind of conflicts the Commission might be concerned about.
Staff does not believe that the driveway is too close to the intersection or
that it will cause a problem.
Mr. I<ee stated that he could not recall any commercial development that has
come before the Commission that has had as much landscaping proposed as this
project. There is an area 45' x 100' along Winchester Boulevard that is to be
landscaped.
Chairman Lubeckis declared the public hearing open and asked if anyone wished
to speak for or against the application.
There being no one wishing to be heard, Commissioner Hebard moved that the
public hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Hebard asked if the plans are a condition of the use permit.
Mr. Kee stated that the use permit and approval of plans are before the Commission
for consideration, and the plans are not a condition of the use permit. There
have been two approaches used in tl~e past - one is for consideration of the use
permit and plans at the same time and the other is the approval of the use
permit with a condition that the plans will be submitted at a later date. In
this instance, the use permit and plans are being considered at tl~e same time.
The Architectural Review Committee has reconu»ended approval of the plans.

Commissioner Hebard felt. that the plans looked like a niodifi.ed dwelling.
It did not have the appearance of an office.. It seemed to have the appearance
of a house that had been dressed up to look like an office building instead
of an office building.
Commissioner Pack asked if this had been a brand new structure would you have
any criticism with it then?
Commissioner Samuelson stated that he would still have trouble with the garage
doors.
Commissioner Hebard stated that he couldn't: respond to that because he would
not conceive of anyone designing a building for an office use that would have
that appearance.
Mr. Kee made reference to the Speech and Therapy Center which was a conversion.
There was very little done on that building other than the parking area and
landscaping outside. lie further stated that in regard to Mr. Sallin's building,
the staff had relied on the Architectural Advisor's comments and he s-aid that
the architectural appearance was acceptable. There are a number of conversions
that could be pointed out ar~d some that have been approved by the Commission
are not a great deal different that this one.
Commissioner Hebard replied that it is hard to compare one building with
another. The architecture of the speech building was considerably different
than this architecture. The speech building, although not much was done to it,
does look like a building that was done on purpose.
Commissioner Dickson stated that he recalled two or three houses on Hamilton
Avenue that had a treatment very similar to this.
Mr. Kee made reference to the Torres' buildings directly across the street.
These were two residences that were converted directly to offices. Also,
the Sandeno Building on Bascom Avenue is another that comes to mind.
Commissioner Samuelson asked Mr. Kee if the Commission passed any treatment
on the garage door. Mr. Kee stated that they did. That is a sliding glass
door on the garage and what has happened up to this point in this case is that
the garage area was converted to an office through a home occupation permit.
There was added on covered parking out froiT~ that. That has already been
accomplished. The doors shown on the site plan and on the elevations would
be sliding glass doors at this point.
Commissioner Hebard asked if there is a carport area in front of those sliding
glass doors.
Mr. Kee stated that there was. He then proceeded to point out to the Commission
where the parking areas were on the site plan.
Commissioner Hebard stated that all he saw on the plans on the treatment of the
building is some two by four slats covering the windows on the Eden Avenue side
and some more covering a window on the Hamilton Avenue side. He felt that
a conversion meant more than adding some slats covering up some windows.
Mr. I<ee made reference to a recent conversion from residence to commercial and
-9-
he felt there was not even this much shown on the plans in that instance.
He felt that perhaps the staff needed some direction from the Commission
as to what a conversion should be. Mr. I<ee stated the ordinance reads
that it should appear to be designed as an office building, and he felt
that, in this instance, he did not know how to interpret that.
Commissioner Hebard noted that the Building Department has indicated that
the roof material is unacceptable. He felt that the changing of the roof could
make a considerable difference, depending on the new material that Mr. Sallin
chose.
Mr. Kee stated that if there was anything other than a minor modification,
'the plans would have to be brought before the Commission.
Mr. William Sallin, owner of the property, then addressed the Commission
stating that the lattice work that is shown is not the only thing that is
being done. The roof must be replaced by a $4,000 replacement, dedication
to the City all the property along Eden Avenue, putting in sidewalk, curb and
gutter at the cost of about $2,000, and putting in a new commercial driveway
bringing his expenditures to about $15,000 to $20,000. Mr. Sallin made
reference to a building on the other side of Winchester Boulevard on the north
side of iamilton Avenue that nothing was done to except a little cover over the
porch. He stated that he was spending two to three times as much for his
building.
Commissioner Dickson asked Mr. Sallin what type of roof treatment he was going
to be putting on.
Mr. Sallin stated he is investigating the possibility of an aluminum shake
roof, but as yet has only found one roofer that has experience in putting
this type of roof on. It will be a fire proof roof and will 'nave the
appearance of shake although it may be a different color.
Commissioner Hebard stated that he was not looking at this from the standpoint
of expensive changes, but was looking for a little more imagination to give
it a stronger appearance of an office building.
Commissioner Hebard stated that he was disappointed particularly in the
Hamilton Avenue side and a good part of the Eden side.
Mr. Sallin responded that he would be happy to Bear any suggestions that could
be made with the same amount of expense involved.
.commissioner Campos asked Mr. Kee if there were any standards as to what is
a conversion. How do you determine what is a conversion?
Mr. Kee replied the only standard fie could point to would be those that have
been considered previously.. The Code does state that it should appear as
if it is a building designed for office purposes. i1e suggested that the
staff could bring back to the Commission pictures of those approved for their
review.
- 10-
Commissioner Hebard stated that same years.. dgo the !)rdinance prohibited
the conversion of dwellings, to any other use and then the Commission
relaxed that prohibition to permit at least the conversion of dwellinys to
offices. There was considerable debate about it at the time and the change
was made rather reluctantly. The Council was not enthusiastic about it at the
time and that is why Commissioner Hebard felt that it is important to try to
get as much quality in the conversions as possible. We don't want the door
closed again.
Commissioner Pack responded to Commissioner Hebard by saying that she shared
some of his concerns because she felt we should always try to upgrade whatever
we are bringing into the City, {iowever, with the cost of new construction and
with the way the City's configurations are changing, it seemed to her that
the Commission has no alternative but to allow conversions of residences into
other uses. She further stated that she was pleased that the Planning Commission
and the Council did go along with changing the Ordinance. Perhaps the
Commission should take a look at the Ordinance and develop some guidelines
to go by. Since we do not have these guidelines, she felt the Commission could
not impose too many restrictions as Lang as the building meets all the require-
ments of the building code and the other codes that are now in existence.
Commissioner Campos stated that he was concerned about the Code itself and
a method of standardization.
Commissiner Hebard stated he felt the Commission should look at the ones that
they have approved, but it would also be quite revealing to look at the
ones they have turned dawn.
RESOLUTION N0. 1543 Cammissioner Pack moved that the Commission
adopt Resolution No. 1543 approving UP 76-14,
application of William Sallin, subject to the
conditions recommended by staff, seconded by
Commissioner Samuelson and adopted by the
following roll call vote:

ABSENT: Commissioners: None
Commissioner Samuelson made a motion that staff prepare a report on conversions
to include approvals of past conversions, denials, submissions that had no

report would be a code amendment consideration. Motion seconded by Commissioner
Pack and unanimously adopted.

Acting Chairman Dickson asked Mr. I<ee for his conmrents.
Mr. Kee recommended continuance to the second meeting in January as the public
hearings for the Parking District are tentatively scheduled for the next 60 days
in order that the District can be resolved at that point and we can have a
decision on this. Mr. Kee stated that Mr. Hardy was in the audience and Mr.

Commissioner Pack reported for the Site and Architectural Review Committee. The
committee recommends approval of the application subject to two conditions: 1.
Approval of the duplex use of the property and carport addition, subject to the
conditions attached to staff report. 2. Denial of the sundeck on top of the
carport.
Commissioner Huard asked if that lot was large enough to qualify for a duplex.
Mr . Kee answered tha t i t was h i s uncle rs tand i ng tha t i t was .
Commissioner Hebard asked what the minimum lot requirement was for a duplex.
h1r. Kee stated that it was 7,000 square feet. The lot area for this application
is 7,675 square feet.
Commissioner Hebard stated that the carport was two feet from the property line
and asked if we did not have sideyard setback.
Mr. Kee stated not in a PD but it would be. three feet in a standard accessory
building in an R-1 zone or an R-2 zone. For an accessory building you can go
within three feet of the property line. Mr. I<ee called to the attention of the
Commission the fact that there is a garage existing in that exact location right
now.
Acting Chairman Dickson declared the public hearing open and asked if anyone wished
to speak for or against the application.
There. being no one tivishing to be heard, Commissioner Lubeckis proved that the public
hearing be closed, seconded by Commissioner Samuelson and unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Hebard asked if the applicant was in agreement with the. conditions.

Syufy Enterprises previously approved plans for a five screen
drive-in theatre located on property known as
535 Westchester Drive in a ht-1-S (Light

Acting Chairman Dickson asked for the report of the Site and Architectural Review
Cornmi ttee.
Commissioner Pack reported that the committee ntet and she has no recommendation
from the committee. Her personal recommendation is for approval, however,
Commissioner Dicla on would have to speak for himself on this application.
Mr. Kee asked t1r. Powell to point out the differences in what was originally
approved and what is being proposed as a modification to the. approved plans.
1~1r. Powell reported that the applicant had requested this plan be modified mainly
because of the underground utilities that presently exist on the property. P1r,
Powell presented the site layout and pointed out the modifications. The revised
plans indicate that the two new screens will be constructed as approved, however,
the applicant now plans to leave the projections booths and the existing three
screens in their present location.
Acting Chairman Dickson commented that his objection was to the location of the
screens. One was very clear from the nrobi le homt:s. ~~,nother there is a good
possibility of being seen from the freeway and the other is also more accessible
to be seen from the freeway.

Staff Report Staff report on possible revision to the P-D
(Planned Development) Section of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Acting Chairman Dickson asked Mr. Kee for his comments.
F1r. Kee stated that the recommendation was that the Planning Commission give
the staff some direction regarding the desirability of proceeding with an
amendment to the P-D section of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Kee said he would
like a resolution setting a hearing so that they can consider an amendment.
He also commented that. he would like to have a committee of the Commission
working with the staff to briny back to the Commission possible amendments to
the P-D section of the Ordinance. the purpose of this would be to make it
easier for the buildings downtown to make revisions in the exterior parts of
the buildings. Right now it is a 90 day process.
Commissioner Hebard asked Mr. IGee if lie was suggesting that they change the
P-D Ordinance?
Mr. Kee answered that they were.
Commissioner Hebard suggested that another approach might be to draft another
zone--a P-Dl or a P-Da.
Mr. Kee replied that right now Campbell has Borne five commercial zones and that
is clot for a City of our- size. He further- stated that he felt one paragraph in
the P-D Ordinance identifying the downtown area as different from other P-D areas
would be effective rather than creating new zoning districts.
Commissioner Samuelson made a motion that we review this item at the first
meeting in January seconded by Commissioner Campos and unanimously adopted.
Commissioner Campos and Commissioner Hebard volunteered to work with the staff
on this item.
