G.P. 76-5 This is the time and place for
Orford, Ruth E, public hearing to consider an
amendment to the Land Use Element
of the General Plan and/or Toning
Map from Low Density Residential
(R-1) to Low-Medium Density (R-M)
for property located at 1330 and
1354 Hacienda Avenue, Campbell.
Chairman Lubeckis asked Mr. Kee for his comments.
Mr. Kee advised that Mr. Stafford would make the presentation.
Mr. Stafford presented a map indicating the area under discussion
and the areas proposed for consieration. The applicant is proposing
- 8 -
to atnend the Land Use Element of the General P~1an from "Low
Density Residential" to "Low Medium Density Residential" for
the subject property. The applicant is also proposing that this
property be rezoned from R-1 to R-M. The property is slightly
over one acre in size and presently has two single family
residences. With the exception of the Rolling Hills Shopping
Center to the north, the surrounding properties to the east,
south and west are all predominately developed with single
family residences. The area to the east and south is currently
unincorporated. The area to the west og the subject property
is currently in the City of Campbell.
Mr. Stafford presented various exhibits showing the recommended
General Plan, the existing General Plan, the existing zoning and
the neighboring property owners in agreement with G. P. 76-5.
Mr. Stafford advised that the applicant has submitted a statement
signed by several property owners in the neighboring area indi-
cating a desire to have their property included in such an amend-
ment. It is the staff's opinion that the proposed amendment to
low-medium density residential will be compatible if the Land Use
Element for the other properties on the southerly side of Hacienda
Avenue is subsequently amended to the same residential density.
Mr. Stafford stated that if the Commission does follow the staff
recommendation and does subsequently pursue the matter of amending
the General Plan for the entire area, the staff has submitted
three recommendations:
1. That the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending
an amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan from
Low Density Residential to Low-Medium Density Residential.
2. That the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending
a change in Zoning for the subject property from R-1 to R-M.
3. That the Planning Commission set October 21 as ttie date of a
public hearing to consider amending the General Plan and/or
Zoning from Low Density Residential (R-1) to Low-Medium
Density Residential (R-M) for the remaining properties on
the southerly side of Hacienda Avenue between Burrows Road
and Abbott Avenue.
Mr. Stafford stated that the staff is recommending approval at
this time because a significant number of property owners have
indicated an interest in going to a higher density.
Mr. Kee stated that one of the main reasons for the staff
recommendation is the size of the lots, approximately 150' x 292',
and the fact that there is commercial land use directly across
the street from the subject property. On this basis, the staff
felt the area was justified for a low-medium residential density
recommendation.
- 9 -
Commissioner Hebard asked the number of units that would be
permitted under R.-M zoning. Mr. Stafford stated that the code
would allow a maximum of 13 units per gross acre. R-1 would
allow less than six units per gross acre.
Commissioner Hebard stated that the Commission has been asked.
to consider one lot at this time and then it is recommended
that the Commission consider the adjacent lots along the
southerly line of Hacienda Avenue for a change in the General
Plan, He asked the staff why it is being done this way.
Mr. Kee advised that an application was filed for just the one
lot. However, in the staff's opinion, the Commission should not
look at just one iot--but should consider the. whole area and that
is what the staff has recommended. The staff included in the
recommendation that a public hearing be set to consider amending
the General Plan from Low Density Residential to Low-Medium Density
Residential for the remaining properties on the southerly side of
Hacienda Avenue between Burrows Road and Abbott Avenue. If the
General Plan is changed then the zoning would follow to make the
General Plan and Zoning consistent as required by law.
The first two staff recommendations could be continued and the
Commission could adopt a resolution setting a public hearing to
consider the other area.
Commissioner Hebard stated that his concern was that in 1971
when the Commission held public hearings for possible amendments
to the General Plan and Zoning in the San Tomas Area, the residents
of the area indicated a desire to have the area remain low density.
He stated that he would want to be sure that the higher density is
what the neighborhood wants.
Mr. Kee advised that there is an application before the Commission
to hold a public hearing on the one lot and included in the staff
comment sheet is the'recommendatioir that the remaining area be set
for public hearing. The staff would have no objection to have the
entire area considered at one time. However, the applicant is
present and he may or may not be in agreement with a continuance.
Chairman Lubeckis declared the public hearing open on G.P. 76-5
and asked if anyone in the audience wished to be heard.
Mr. Herbert Orford, representing the applicant, stated that he had
heard the discussion and was in agreement with the continuance.
Commissioner Campos asked staff if the entire area was contacted.
Mr, Kee advised that the area was posted,
Mr. Orford stated that he had contacted everyone in the area and
seven property owners indicated that they were in agreement with
a change in the General Plan and two stated that they would like
to have the zoning r.hanged. There being no one else present
wishing to be heard, Commissioner Hebard moved that G.P. 76-5 be
continued to the October 21 meeting, seconded by Commissioner
- ]0 -
Pack and unanimously adopted.

Campbell Elementary School Site (West Valley College Site) is for
sale. The staff has sent a letter to the administrative staff of
the school district requesting that the Commission be advised of
any change in ttie status of the sale of the property.
Commissioner Hebard stated that the Council has asked all of the
Commissions to give comments on the possible uses that might interest
the City and whether or not the City might want to negotiate for the
property. He was of the opinion that the Commission should advise
the Council that the Planning Commission is in the public hearing
process, and it might not be appropriate to make comments to the
City Council until the public hearing has been concluded.

ment Zoning District.

approval for the center. However, the .one-year time limit expired

reviewed the plans at the mneting and the comments that she has
to make are her own personal corurner-ts . Commissioner Dickson
would have comments to make also.

she would have to approve the site plans; however, she did not

departments are in the process of responding to that report.
The development would be divided into three land uses - commercial,
professional offices and high density residential. At the City
Council meeting, the Council approved $1,500 to hire a consultant
to analyze the traffic projections as stated in the draft E.I.R.
and also to make any recommendations that he feels should be
made in terms of traffic patterns. The proposal is in accord
with the General Plan of San Jose. The streets, for the most
part, are within the jurisdiction of Campbell. Bascom and
Hamilton is one of the heaviest traveled intersections in the
County, and the City of Campbell would have a great deal to say
about the traffic coming from the development into the City of
Campbell streets.
Mr. Helms stated that the Council authorized the hiring of a
consultant as they did not feel that the E.I.R. spoke to the
issues and they wanted to do an independent study of traffic
projections.
Mr. Kee stated that this was an information item only and no action
required by the Commission.

temporary until such time as Mona Way would be extended from
Darryl Drive into the property.
