PC Res 3370RESOLUTION NO. 3370
BEING A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF CAMPBELL DENYING A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT (PLN2001-51) TO ALLOW THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
LIMOUSINE SERVICE WITHIN AN EXISTING COMMERCIAL
BUILDING ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2089 S. BASCOM
AVENUE IN A C-2-S (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ZONING
DISTRICT. APPLICATION OF MR. MOHAMMED TAYARANI-
BEEGHAM. FILE NO. PLN2001-51.
After notification and public hearing, as specified by law, and after presentation by the
Community Development Director, proponents and opponents, the heating was closed.
After due consideration of all evidence presented, the Planning Commission did find as follows
with respect to application PLN2001-51:
It is not desirable to locate the proposed limousine service at this location due the limited
on-site parking available to the remaining tenants that share this commercial building.
It is not desirable to locate the proposed limousine use at this location in that the project
site is a smaller commercial property that has limited accessibility and vehicular
circulation due to the narrowness of the site and difficulty in accessing the garage
parking. The site is inadequate in size to accommodate the required parking, loading, and
storage activities of the proposed use:
a. Customer access to the garage is constrained due to the narrowness of the parcel and
the need for vehicles to turn 180 degrees to enter the garage.
bo
The propose tenant space represents 9 percent of the building's square footage but
occupies exclusively 30 percent of the on-site parking thus create an excess parking
demand for the commercial uses on the site.
c. There is no on-street parking to compensate for a lack of off-street parking at this
location.
The current parking area is in a state of disrepair with numerous fractures in the
concrete thus making circulation movements more difficult for patrons using the
parking area.
o
The exclusive use of the garage area for storage purposes establishes a storage use that is
creating an additional parking demand of 20 spaces beyond the use of the commercial spaces
in the building.
4. The proposed use consists of the operation of a limousine business, including the storage of
vehicles and related office use.

5. The project site has a net area of 32,200 square feet with a multi-tenant retail building of
approximately 10,348 square feet that includes a 900 square foot office area and a garage
area of approximately 7,682 square feet.
6. The approved site plan provides thirty-seven (37) parking spaces at grade and fifteen (15)
parking spaces in the garage beneath the retail building.
7. The site is occupied by a florist, nail shop, hairdressers, pizzeria, billiard/amusement
establishment and general office.
8. The proposed use would occupy 900 square feet as an office space and the entire garage.
9. The proposed use would employ three (3) full time employees and three (3) part-time
employees seven days a week, and would involve the use of approximately eighteen (18)
vehicles for hire.
10. The City has received numerous complaints about the lack of parking on-site.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the Planning Commission further finds and concludes
that:
o
The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will be detrimental to the
public health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or detrimental or injurious to property
and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City. The proposed
use would probably significantly disturb the peace and enjoyment of nearby residential
neighborhoods.
The proposed site is not adequate in size to accommodate the parking, loading facilities,
storage needs and other development features required in order to integrate said use with uses
in the surrounding area or other uses sharing the project site.
The proposed site does not have adequate vehicular circulation to carry the kind and quantity
of traffic such uses would generate
The proposed use is not compatible with the uses in the area and within the commercial
complex. The proposed use would likely create a nuisance due to problems involving noise,
parking, traffic or other factors;
