PREFACE
This EnviroIlllental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared in conformance with
the California Enviror:mental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) as amended through
1983 and the Guidelines for Enviror:mental Impact Reports. It has al so been
prepared in conformance with the Ci ty of Campbell's adopted procedures for the
preparation, processing and review of enviroIlllental documents. The purpose of
an EIR is to provide objective information to public decisior:makers and the
general public regarding potential enviror:mental effects resulting fran
proj ect impl ementa ti on. The Ci ty of Campbell can then insti tute methods of
reducing adverse impacts or consider al ternatives to the project.
As stated in CEQA, the purpose of an EIR is to identify only the significant
effects of a project on the enviror:ment, where significant effects are defined
as "substantial adverse impact(s) on the enviror:ment". This EIR, therefore,
discusses in detail primarily those impacts determined to have a potentially
significant or substantial adverse effect. The In! tial Study prepared by the
Ci ty of Campbell Planning Department identified areas in which the project
could have significant effects on the enviror:ment: land use and planning,
circulation and parking, visual and glare, public services and cultural
resources. Areas not covered in this EIR due to the city's determination of
insignificance include noise, biology, geology, hydrology, air quality, and
energy.
Also included in the CEQA Guidelines is the proviSion that "the discussion of
mitigation measures shall distinguish between the measures that are proposed
by proj ect proponents to be incl uded in the proj ect, and other measures which
are not included, but could be reasonably expected to reduce adverse impacts.
Accordingly, all mitigation measures recommended within this EIR are not
presently included in the project unless otherwise specifically noted. Where
appropriate, this EIR incorporates by reference documents that are readily
available to the general publiC, in accordance with the amended Guidelines.

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 PROJECT SITE LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed project site is located in the City of Campbell in Santa Clara
County. The s1 te consists of 4.23 acres and is bounded by South Bascom Avenue
to the east; a two story apartment building, a vacant parcel, and an
unoccupied commercial structure to the south; Michael Drive to the west; and a
new commerc1al building and two story apartment complex to the north. Figure
1-1 presents the regional setting and Figure 1-2 shows the local setting.
I
The project site is currently occupied by Baker Trailer Sales, a recreational
vehicle sales company. The site includes a large parking/storage area, a
sales building located in a former residential structure, and a parts/storage
building. The topography of the site is generally flat.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
The project applicant, Lincoln Property Company, proposes to construct a four
story office building of 140,000 gross square feet of floor area, a building
footprint of 35,000 square feet, and a floor/area ratio of 0.19. It is
estimated that there would be approximately 560 employees at full occupancy of
the project, assuming an average employee density of four employee per 1000
gross square feet. A two level parking structure would accompany the office
building for a total of 560 parking spaces (222 compact spaces, 330 standard
spaces, and 8 handicapped spaces). The project applicant is requesting a
variance to provide one parking space per 250 square feet of office space
rather than the city's requirement of one space per 225 square feet (622
spaces). The parking structure would consist of one parking surface below
grade and one surface four to five feet above grade. The upper parking
surface would be level with the first floor of the proposed office building.
Figure 1-3 presents the proposed project site plan and Figure 1-4 shows the
building elevations. Site coverage of the project is shown in Table 1-1.
1.~ INTENDED USE OF THE EIR
This EIR will be used for environnental review of the request for site
development parking variance and building permit approval for the proposed
project. The City of Campbell will be using this EIR in its decision making
process.

SUMMARY
The proposed project is the construction of a four story office building and
adjacent two level parking structure. The project is located on a 4.23 acre
site at 2105 S. Bascom Avenue in Campbell. At full occupancy there will be
about 560 employees in the 140,000 square foot office bUilding. '!be two level
parking structure will have one level below grade and one level less than six
feet above grade.
2.1 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND PROPOSED MITIDATION MEA.C:;URES
Table 2-1 summarizes potential impacts and mitigation measures (not included
in current plans) which would minimize most of the potential impacts to a
level of insignificance.
2.2 ALTERNATIVES EVALUATED
The no project alternative and a mixed use (office and residential)
alternative are evaluated in this EIR.
The no project alternative ass\!lles that development as proposed would not
occur on the project site at the present time. Given that the site is
privately owned and has been planned for commercial and residential uses, it
is probable that another proposal for development of the site would be
suanitted in the future if the proposed project were not undertaken.
The mixed use alternative assumes office development of the site's
commercially zoned 1.68 acres fronting on South Bascom Avenue and high density
residential development of the residentially zoned 2.55 acres fronting on
Michael Drive. The commercial portion of the project site could at least
support an office development the size of the proposed project (140,000 gross
square feet) in a six story building with two floors of parking above ground
and one or two floors of parking below ground. Added to this would be the
estimated 57 high density residential units which could be accommodated with
parking in the residential portion of the project site. This al ternative
would generate more traffic than the proposed project due to the net addition
of approximately 285 daily residential trip ends (57 high density units at
five trip ends per unit). The residential traffic would probably enter and
exi t the project site by using Michael Drive, which would increase traffic on
that minor local street. Under the proposed project, only emergency vehicle
access would be available fran Michael Drive. The jobs/housing impact of the
mixed use alternative would be better than the proposed project; however, this
al ternative would resul t in increased sanitary sewer demands and would create
a taller office structure on the site.
2. ~ IDENTIFIED AREAS OF CONTROVERSY
The City of Campbell Planning Department has identified land use, housing,
traffic, parking, visual, sewer service, storm drainage, and cultural
resources as areas of controversy and potentially significant environmental
impacts to be addressed in this EIR (see Apppendix A). Public concern in
response to the information provided in this Draft EIR will be addressed in
the Final EIR.
2-1
2.4 ISSUES TO BE RES<LVED
Issues to be resolved include the availability of circulation system miti-
gation measures which are a part of the conditions of approval of the
Pranetheus office proj ect on Hamil ton Avenue. Ci ty approval of the Pranetheus
project is the subject of a referendum vote on June 5, 1984.
2-2
TABLE 2-1. SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND PROPOSED MITlGATION MEASURES
SECTION/IMPACT
~.1 LAND USE AND PLANNING
The proj ect would crea te new
employment and remove the poten-
tial for residential develop-
ment of a residentially planned
and zoned parcel.
The project would displace the
McConnell House, an on site
structure of potential historic
val ue in Campbell.
~.2 CIRCULATION AND PARKING
(To be inserted)
~. ~ PUBLIC SERVICES
The proj ect will increase the
demand for sewer services.
The storm drain line beneath
S. Bascom Avenue does not have
sufficient capaci ty to serve the
project site.
MITlGATION MEASURE
The City of Campbell should re-
designate additional land for high
density residential uses to compensate
for the loss of future residential
uses on the proj ect 51 te and in-
creased housing demand.
The applicant should contact the city's
Historic Preservation Board and
and coordi na te measures to mi tiga te
for the loss of the McConnell House,
as ne ce ssary .
Sewer connection permits shall be
obtained and a plan check shall be made
by Sanitation District #4 (as required
for project approval).
The project should be designed with
water conserving plumbing fixtures and
appliances to minimize water use and
wastewater generation.
The applicant shall arrange for
connection to adequate storm drain
lines for the project. Final drainage
plans should be approved by the city
Public Works Department. (The develop-
ment of a storm drain line on Michael
Drive will be done jointly between
the applicant and adjacent garden
office project developer.)

TABLE 2-1 (CONTINUED). SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND PROPOSED MITIDATION
MEASURES
SECTION/IMPACT MITIDATION MEASURE
The landscaped areas of the project
si te should be designed to absorb
runoff fran roofs, walkways and

~.4 VISUAL QUALITY
Lighting fran the project parking
structure could affect adjacent
residents.
Warm tone lights on low profile dark
standards should be considered for
the parking area lighting.

~. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING. SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, AND
MITIGATION MEASURES PROPOSED TO MINIMIZE '!HE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS
~.1 LAND USE AND PLANNING
EXISTING SETTING
Land Use. The project site is currently used for the sale of recreational
vehicles (Baker Trailer Sales) and is made up of a large parking/storage area,
a sales building and a parts/service building. Adjacent land uses include a
new commercial building and two story multiple family residential uses to the
north; two and three story multiple family residential uses to the west; two
story, multiple family residential uses, a vacant parcel and an unoccupied
commercial building to the south; and various commercial uses along South
Bascom Avenue to the east. The adjacent unoccupied building and vacant parcel
to the south will be the site or a 31,398 square foot Garden Office develOp-
ment in a new two story structure to be completed in the Fall of 1984 (Mercer,
1984 ) .
The surrounding land uses include primarily commercial uses along South Bascom
Avenue, Campbell Avenue and the eastern portion of Apricot Avenue and single
and mul tiple family residential uses along Michael Drive, Barbano Avenue and
Apricot Avenue. In addi tion, the Bascom Animal Hospital, Bascom Avenue Pre
School and Water Babi es Swim School are approximately 300 feet fran the si te
and the Santa Clara Valley Japanese Christian Church is approximately 200 feet
northwest of the si te boundary.
Campbell General Plan and Zonins. The project site is currently designated
for commercial and high density (21-27 units per gross acre) residential uses
according to the Land Use Element of the City or Campbell's General Plan.
Adjacent and surrounding land uses are also designated for commercial and high
density residential uses (see Figure 3.4-1). The existing land uses are
generally consistent with the General Plan designations, although the
residential portion of the project site is currently being used as a storage
area. The proposed project is in a General Commercial (C-2-S) and a Hul tiple
Family (R-3-S) zoning district, consistent with the General Plan land use
designations. The adjacent and surrounding properties are also in commercial
and residential zoning districts (see Figure 3.4-2).
Historic Prooer~. The McConnell House, currently in use as a sales office on
the project site, was identified during a windshield survey by city staff of
potentially significant historic structures within the City of Campbell. The
city's Historic Resources Inventory Master List, adopted in 1978, indicates
that the structure is located on its original site. The residence is in fair
condition with minor alterations, but is still considered to possess
architectural and local historical value (see Appendix C). The McConnell
House is not on the City of Campbell's official list of historic structures.
IMPACTS. The proposed project would alter the project site's existing land
use ~ replacing a recreational vehicle sales operation with a four story,
140,000 square foot office building and a two level parking structure. Baker
Trailer Sales expects to relocate in the Campbell area (Minarik, 1984). The
proposed project would be compatible with adjacent and surrounding uses since
the proposed office building would be adjacent to existing commercial uses of
3-1

the same ~pe and the parking area would be adjacent to residential uses.
Parking areas are considered to be a compatible transitional use between
commercial and residential land uses (Stafford, 1984). No change in land use
designation or zoning is necessary to accommodate the proposed parking
structure in the R-3-S district provided the height of the structure remains
less than six feet above ground level (Stafford, 1984). Use of the
residential zoned portion of the project site for parking rather than high
density residences would eliminate potential housing opportunities for this
site while the proposed office project would increase housing demand. The
existing land use and zoning designations would allow the develolXDent of
apprOximately 57 dwelling units on the proj ect site.
The increase in housing demand would occur due to the creation of an estimated
560 office jobs, based on an average generation rate of four employees per
1000 square feet of gross floor space. Since the actual ~pes of businesses
which would occupy this developnent are unknown, actual employment generation
may differ from this estimate. The increase in housing demand that the new
employees would generate would depend on the type of workers employed and
their place of residence at the time of employment.
The most likely source of new housing demand would be from more highly
skilled, higher income professional, technical, and managerial occupations
that more typically are filled b,y heads of households. These are the
positions for which companies would be most likely to relocate experienced
personnel from outside the San Francisco Bay Area or from more distant cities
in the region. The salary level of these positions also would be high enough
to warrant the relocation of households. Additionally, considering the high
cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay Area, generally, and in Santa Clara
County, specifically, persons with these salary levels are the most capable of
acq uiring new residences. It is difficult to predict the level of housing
demand generated which would be from these higher paying positions because no
specific office tenants have been identified.
This project may also provide second incomes to local families where more than
one household member chooses to work outside the home. The lower skill
requirements of some clerical positions may create job opportunities for the
unemployed and underemployed residents of the area. It is unlikely that
individuals would travel long distances to these lower skilled jobs, nor would
the jobs be likely to be perceived as sufficiently unique positions to justify
many households relocating to the vicinity to take advantage of these lower
skilled employment opportunities. Consequently the new housing demand
prOduced by the propsoed project would be reduced to the extent that these
factors occur.
The loss of 57 dwelling units and the additional demand for housing due to the
proposed project would be considered a significant adverse impact conSidering
the existing housing shortage regionally and locally. However, this impact
could be mitigated through redesignation of other available and suitable lands
for high density residential uses.
}Ustoric Property. The proposed project would require demolition of the
McConnell House, which is identified in the City of Campbell'S Historic
Resources Inventory Master List. The city's Historic Preservation Board must
be informed of any threats to these resources. Therefore, the board must be
3-4
contacted prior to the issuance of the demolition permit necessary to remove
the McConnell House, this board will determine the significance of the
structure. If the structure is significant, application procedures for
official designation on the city's Historic Resources List and a study of
possible mitigation will begin. Due to the condition and al terations of the
McConnell House, 1 t is unlikely that the board would consider the structure
suitable to offical designation on the city's History Resources List (Haley,
1 984) .
MITIDATION MEASURES. The fOllowing measures should be implemented to mitigate
adverse land use impacts.
The City of Campbell should redesignate additional land for high
densi ty residential uses to compensate for the loss of future
residential uses on the project site and increased housing demand.
The applicant should contact the city's Historic Preservation Board and
coordinate measures to mitigate for the loss of the McConnell House, as
necessary .

Administrative Draft EIR)

~.~ PUBLIC SERVICES
EXISTING SETTING
Sewer Service. The project site is within the service area of Santa Clara
County Sanitation District #4, which operates and maintains sewer lines.
Wastewater 1s treated at the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control
Plant located in Alviso. The district currently has approximately two million
gallons per day of excess capacity rights for sewer discharge to the plant.
The commercial operation on site currently generates minimal amounts of
wastewater from domestic facilities in the sales office. Sewer service is
provided from the sanitation district via a six inch line on site which
connects to an eight inch sewer line on South Bascom Avenue. A 24 inch sewer
line also parallels the eight inch line in South Bascom Avenue. The two lines
on Bascom are not being used to capacity (Lee, 1984).
Storm Drainage. The City of Campbell Public Works Department maintains storm
drain systems in the city. A 15 inch reinforced concrete pipe exists in South
Bascom Avenue, with the nearest storm drain inlet located to the north of the
site. A 12 inch storm drain line exists in Michael Drive, near Barbano
Avenue, north of the project site. Stormwater from both storm drain lines
eventually flows into Los Gatos Creek. Currently the 15 inch pipe on South
Bascom Avenue and the 12 inch pipe on Michael Drive are near or at capacity
during peak use. (Valkenaar, 1984; Gomez, 1984). The site currently
generates minimal stormwater runoff flows to South Bascom Avenue and Michael
Drive.
IMPACTS
Sewer Service. The proposed project would increase the demand for Sanitation
District #4 services to the site. The volume of wastewater to be generated by
the project is estimated at approximately 19,600 gallons per day (gpd), based
on a city standard of .14 gpd per square foot of office space. Wastewater
could be accommodated by the existing eight inch South Bascom Avenue Sewer
line and trunk lines in the system (Lee, 1984). The project would reduce the
districts' remaining allocation of treatment plant capacity, but the district
would still maintain a surplus of unused capacity.
Storm Draina~e. Additional impervious surface area due to the proposed
project building and parking structure would cause a considerable increase in
the volume of water draining from the site as runoff. Drainage from the
proposed project could not be accommodated by existing storm drain facilities
on South Bascom Avenue or Michael Drive. The applicant proposes to share the
cost of installing a new storm drain line in Michael Drive which would connect
to a 54 inch line in Union Avenue. The new Michael Drive line will be
installed by the developer of the two story garden office project south of the
project site. Site runoff would eventually flow into Los Gatos Creek.
Storm runoff would wash contaminants, principally silt, oil, grease and
particulates containing lead, from parking and driveway surfaces of the
proposed project. Although the contaminant levels in the runoff would be
higher than existing levels, they would represent only a nominal increase in
the contaminant loads carried into Los Gatos Creek by urban runoff from the
Campbell area.
3-7
MITIGATION MEASURES. The following mitigation measures are recommended to
minimize impacts on sewer and storm drain facilities.
Sewer connection permits shall be obtained and a plan check shall be
made by Sanitation District #4 (as required for project approval).
The project should be designed with water conserving plumbing fixtures
and appliances to minimize water use and wastewater generation.
The applicant shall arrange for connection to adequate storm drain
lines for the project. Final drainage plans should be approved by the
city public works department. (The development of a storm drain line
will be done jointly between the applicant and adjacent garden office
project developer.)
The landscaped areas of the project site should be designed to absorb
runoff from roofs, walkways and parking areas.

~. 4 VISUAL CHARACTER
EXISTING SETl'ING. The project site comprises 4.23 acres in an urbanized
setting on South Bascom Avenue, east of Highway 17 and south of the Pruneyard
Shopping Center. The topography of the site is fairly level. The project
site is currently occupied by a sales area for recreational vehicles.
Numerous recreational vehicles are scattered across the site. The western
half of the site consists of a grassy lot, while the eastern half is paved and
contains a two story wood house which is used as the sales office. The front
of the site on Bascom Avenue is shown. Two large palm trees and pine trees
exist next to the office, and a few pine trees border the site to the south
near South Bascom Road.
The site is located between South Bascom Avenue (to the east) and Michael
Drive (to the west). South Bascom Avenue is a four lane street with a mix of
new and older, one and two story, general canmercial and office buildings.
Adjacent buildings are one story office buildings (see also Section 3.1, Land
Use ) .
To the north of the site are the Pruneyard Towers office buildings of 18 and
ten stories (125,000 square feet each). These office buildings are visually
prominent from San Jose and other nearby communi ties as well as from the east
face of the Santa Cruz Mountains. They function as a landmark by which one
can locate Campbell from many viewpoints in surrounding communi ties. A close
range view of the ten story building and a view of both buildings from the
site vicinity are shown in Figure 3.4-1, Plates B and A, respectively. (The
ten story building is visible from between the two palm trees in Plate A.)
View Corridors. A view corridor is a vista spanning a distant area from a
point of visual origin. View corridors described in this report originate
from likely viewer vantage points and focus on the proposed project site.
These views are depicted in Figure 1, Plates A, C, D, E and F.
Plates C and D show a continuous south to north view of the project site
looking west from South Bascom Avenue. Plates E and F illustrate a continuous
north to south view from the third floor balcony of the apartments located
directly across from the site on Michael Drive. Apartment residences have
views of tall trees and some businesses along South Bascom Avenue.
View Opportunities. The project site provides little or no viewing
opportunities of significant natural features. The site is situated in an
urban setting comprised of office, commercial and some residential
development, which comprise the dominant visual features for viewers on the
site, other than tall surrounding trees and the more distant Pruneyard Towers
buil di ngs.
IMPACTS
Proposed Project. The proposed removal of the existing structure and
recreational vehicles on site and construction of an office building and
parking structure would significantly alter the visual character of the site.
Figure 1-3 displays the layout of the proposed structures. The office
building would be four stories tall, while the parking structure would extend

approximately six feet above ground level. The total building average at
project buildout would be 35,000 square feet or 19 percent of the site area.
The proposed parking structure and driveways would occupy 53 percent of the
site. The remaining 28 percent of the site would be landscaped.
The office building would be primarily off white with dark green and red
accent trims to provide greater visual interest. Building materials would
consist primarily of glass and cement. Landscaping would provide a partial
buffer from adjacent areas, and would include trees and shrubs around the
perimeter of the building, on all four boundaries of the site, and inter-
spersed on the upper parking level as planned by the developer (see Figure
1-3). In addition, the two palm trees and some of the pine trees presently on
the site would be preserved.
The expansiveness of the parking area will become a major element of the
proposed project's appearance. The parking area required to serve this office
complex comprises almost half of the site; however, the proposed landscaping
would provide a visual buffer and breakup of space in the parking area.
The height and mass of the office structure would provide a significant change
to the existing visual character and urban form of the site and surrounding
land uses. Adjacent and nearby structures vary from one to 18 stories. The
difference in height and visual scale between the proposed structures and
their surroundings would be consistent with (though less than) that of newer
office developments in the vicinity (similar to the effects of the highrise,
freestanding Pruneyard Towers and the approved Prometheus project). The pro-
posed four story structure would be visually prominent from many surrounding
land uses (except where individual views are blocked by foreground objects).
The placement of the higher office building towards the commercial area on
South Bascom Avenue with the lower parking structure towards the multifamily
residences reduces the visual impact of the bUilding to those residences. The
proposed site design may be preferable to that of the existing facilities due
to the provision of additional landscaping and a more organized and less
cluttered appearance.
The proposed office building would have minor shadow impacts on adjacent
structures. It is expected that during winter months, when the sun stays in
the southern sky throughout the day and remains close to the horizon, the
proposed building would block sunlight to a few residences and the office
building on the north side of the site. Sunlight would not be blocked for one
entire day in anyone spot.
The project would increase light and glare to adjacent areas due to reflection
from windows and light from the building and parking area. The use of the
blue green reflective glass as proposed would minimize glare as compared to
other more highly reflective glass.
View Corridors. The proposed office building would block existing views from
adjacent apartments of trees and businesses along South Bascom. Because of
its height, the building would be a dominant feature as seen from streets in
the vicinity including South Bascom Avenue, Michael Drive, and El Solyo
Avenue. However, Pruneyard Towers to the north would remain the most visible
structures in the general area.
3-13
View Opoortunities. The project would create no new public viewing opportuni-
ties. Private tenants in offices at the upper stories, however, would view
the Santa Cruz Mountains to the south and west, and downtown San Jose and most
of the South Bay area to the north and east.
MITIGATION MEASURES
Warm tone lights on low profile dark standards should be considered for
the parking area lighting.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION
An analysis of reasonable alternatives to the proposed project is presented in
this section, focusing on general evaluations conducted for comparison with
the proposed project. No site plans have been developed for these
alternatives. This section presents the likely environmental effects of the
following alternatives: no project and mixed use development (office and high
density residential).
4.1 NO PROJECT
The no project alternative assumes that development as proposed would not
occur on the project site at the present time. The site would retain its
commercial character. This alternative would postpone environmental impacts
on local public services, traffic, aesthetics, and the jobs/housing situation
that would be associated with most eventual uses of the site. Given that the
site is privately owned and has been planned for commercial and residential
uses, it is probable that another proposal for development of the site would
be submitted in the future if the proposed project were not undertaken.
4.2 MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
This alternative assumes office development of the site's commercially zoned
1.68 acres fronting on South Bascom Avenue and high density residential
development of the residentially zoned 2.55 acres fronting on Michael Drive.
The commercial portion of the project site could at least support an office
development the size of the proposed project (140,000 gross square feet) in a
six story building with two floors of parking above ground and one or two
floors of parking below ground. Added to this would be the estimated 57 high
density residential units which could be accommodated with parking in the
residential portion of the project site. This alternative would generate more
traffic than the proposed project due to the net addition of approximately 285
daily residential trip ends (57 high density units at five trip ends per
unit). The residential traffic would probably enter and exit the project site
by uSing Michael Drive, which would increase traffic on that minor local
street. Under the proposed project, only emergency vehicle access would be
available from Michael Drive. The jobs/housing impact of the mixed use
alternative would be better than the proposed project; however, this
alternative would result in increased sanitary sewer demands and would create
a taller office structure on the site.

5. SIDNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF '!HE
PROJECT IS IMPLEMENTED
Section 3 addresses impacts which would result if the proposed project were
implemented and suggests measures to mitigate these impacts. In most cases,
suggested mitigation measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts can be
incorporated into the project design. The significant adverse environmental
impacts (which cannot be avoided) if the proposed project is implemented are:
(Traffic impacts to be added when determined)
5-1
6. GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
A project is generally considered to be growth inducing if it could foster
economic or population growth, or the construction of additional housing,
either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. Included in
this are projects which would remove obstacles to population growth.
Increases in the population may further tax existing community service facili-
ties, so consideration must be given to this impact. The characteristics of
the proposed project which may encourage and facilitate other activities that
could significantly affect the environment, either individually or cumula-
tively, also must be discussed. It must not be assumed that growth in any
area is necessarily beneficial, detrimental, or of little significance to the
environment.
The proposed office project would be a new source of employment and economic
activity in the City of Campbell. Short term employment would be generated in
the construction industry. Upon completion, the proposed project would create
approXimately 560 new Jobs at the site. It is reasonable to expect that some
of the new jobs would be filled by persons who would be moving into the area,
increasing the demand for housing. Still, some workers may already reside in
the Campbell area within commuting distance. (See Section 3.1, Land Use and
Planning, for further information about the project's job formation and
housing demand impacts.) The proposed project would not remove any obstacles
to further population growth.
The proposed project also would create employment in secondary office supply
and service industries. The ongoing growth of office uses in Santa Clara
County already has led to the substantial expansion of business support
operations (e.g., building maintenance, temporary office and technical help,
office equipment and supplies, etc.). These services and trades are already
available throughout the area and the proposed project would represent a minor
addition in demand for these operations. It is expected that the support
businesses would be able to absorb this demand without the need for major
expansion.
6-1
7. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The level of service analysis in Section 3.2, Circulation and Parking,
includes calculations ot the cumulative critical movements trom approved
project area developments (including the Prometheus, Campbell Business Park
and Graylands projects) and the cumulative impact of traffic from the
existing, approved and proposed projects.
The following cumulative impacts have been identified in this report:
Increased peak hour and daily traffic volumes on local and regional
roadways.
(More details to be added after completion of traffic analysis).
Increased vehicle miles traveled with a comparable increase in air
pollutants generated.
7-1
8.
EFFECTS NOT FOUND TO BE SIDNIFICANT
Based on the In! tial study prepared by the City of Campbell Planning
Department (see Appendix A), discussions with the planning staff, and analysis
conducted during preparation of the EIR, sane enviroIlDental issues were found
to be not significant and, therefore, were determined not to require indepth
analysis. These issues include the following:
BIQI.OOY. The project site is located in an urbanized setting and palm and
pine trees which will be preserved after project completion. No other
significant plant or animal habitats are known to be supported onsi tee
NOISE. The primary source of noise in the vicinity of the project site is
vehicular traffic on nearby major streets and freeways. Project generated
traffic would contribute to the ambient noise level in the project vicinity.
This increase, however, would not be significant (less than one dBA) since the
volume of proj ect generated traffic would be snall, relative to the large
vol umes of traffic in the vicinity not related to the project. Noise fran
construction operations would have a short term impact on adjacent residences.
GEOI.OOY. No known faul ts are located beneath the project site. The project
area soils are a result of the coalescence of alluvial fans which form the
land surface of the Santa Clara Valley. Utility connections, foundation
supports, and building design must comply with seisnic requirements of the
State Uniform Building Code.
HYDRCI.aa. Storm drainage issues are discussed in Section 3.3, Public
Services. The nearest water course to the project site is Los Gatos Creek,
located more than 1000 feet to the west (beyond State Route 17) and northwest.
The project site is not located in a 100 year flood zone.
ATR OUAJ.ITY. The project site is within a nonattaiment area for carbon
monoxide (CO) and ozone (03). Project related emissions would represent a
small percentage of the total for Santa Clara County, but would contribute to
the cumulative levels. Measures to reduce vehicle trips generated by the
proposed project also would reduce air pollutant contributions. Construction
operations may generate dust and particulates due to the use of heavy,
earthmoving equipment. Watering down areas of soil redistribution to prevent
excesses of particulates is a common construction practice.
ENERGY. No extraordinary amounts of electricity or natural gas are expected
to be consumed by private tenants of the proposed office project.

a. Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant
or animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory? 0
b. Does the project have the potential to achieve
short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term,
environmental goals? (A short-term impact on
the environment is one which occurs in a rela-
tively brief, definitive period of time while
long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.) 0
c. Does the project have impacts which are indiv-
idually limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(A project may impact on two or more separate
resources where the impact on each resource
is relatively small, but where the effect of
the total of those impacts on the environment
is significant.) 0
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly? 0

8, 11 & 12. A p<rtion of the proposed development is indicated as "High Dens i ty
Residential" on the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
l3a,b,c&f. The development of 140,000+ square feet of office space will have
an effect on traffic circulation, as checked.
18. The project will be visible to a residential section of the com-
munity.
20. The existing structure is listed on the inventory of possible
historic places in Campbell.
L ~
IV. DETERMINATION
AFTER REVIEWING THE ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUBMITTEO BY THE
APPLICANT, AND AFTER COMPLETING THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST USE
BY THE CITY OF CAMPBELL IN MAKING AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
o I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION
will be prepared.
o I find that although the proposed project could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not
be a significant effect in this case because the miti-
gation measures described on an attached sheet have
been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION
JolILL BE PREPARED.
xx I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect
on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is required.

1) Introduction
This report has been prepared to determine and analyze the traffic
and transportation impacts that would accompany construction of an office
building on Bascom Avenue in the City of Campbell. The operating
characteristics of the existing roadway network serving the proposed site
are reviewed. Trips which would be generated by other approved but as
yet uncompleted projects are forecasted and distributed to the roadway
network. Trips which would be generated by the proposed project are
forecasted and distributed to the roadway network. The roadway network
operating characteristics are re-evaluated under conditions which assume
completion of currently approved projects alone and completion of the
proposed project in conjunction with approved projects and, finally,
traffic mitigation measures are suggested where needed. Scenarios with
and without the completion of the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership
project are also included.
2) Project Description
The proposed project would consist of constructing approximately
140,000 gross square feet of office space in a single building on the
west side of Bascom Avenue opposite E1 Solyo Avenue as shown in Figure 1.
The building would be a two story structure situated onsite as shown in
Figure 2 and would be accompanied by a two story parking facility
accommodating 560 vehicles adjacent to the west side of the building.
Access to the parking facilities would be provided from Bascom Avenue at
two locations, one on each side of the building. The most northerly
driveway would provide the primary means of access connecting to both
levels of parking. The southerly driveway would function primarily as a
point of service access connecting with the lower level of parking only.
3) Existing Setting
a) Local Access
The proposed project site is located in the northeastern
portion of the City of Campbell adjacent to Bascom Avenue as shown on
Figure 1. Access will be limited to Bascom Avenue as shown in Figure 2.
The project site is linked to Highway 17 to the north via Bascom Avenue
and Hamilton Avenue and to Highway 17 to the south via Bascom Avenue and

Camden Avenue. The project site is linked to the Almaden Area via Bascom
Avenue, Union Avenue and Camden Avenue. Bascom Avenue provides access to
areas north of the site directly and to areas east of the site in
conjunction with Hamilton Avenue as shown in Figure 1. A combination of
the San Tomas Expressway, Camden Avenue and Bascom Avenue link the
proposed project site to parts of Santa Clara as shown in Figure 1 .
Bascom Avenue is a major north/south arterial in the Santa Clara
Valley extending north from the proposed project site to Santa Clara and
south from the proposed site to Los Gatos. The roadway is a two-way six
lane facility in the project vicinity with exclusive left turn lanes at
major intersections and a two-way left turn median lane between
intersections. The roadway is fully improved with curbs, gutters and on
street parking in the project vicinity. The roadway currently
experiences an average daily two-way traffic volume of approximately
35,000 vehicles (City of Campbell, 1983).
Hamilton Avenue is a major east/west arterial in the project
vicinity linking the City of Campbell with areas of San Jose as shown in
Figure 1. The roadway is a two-way six-lane facility. It has three
eastbound lane from Highway 17 to April Way and two eastbound lanes
beyond April Way. Three westbound lanes with parking are provided
between Bascom and Leigh Avenues and three lanes without parking are
provided west of Bascom Avenue to Highway 17. Hamilton Avenue intersects
Highway 17 with an interchange and Bascom Avenue with an at
grade intersection controlled with traffic signals. The interchange with
Highway 17 has partial clover leafs as shown diagramatically in Figure 3.
Hamilton Avenue currently experiences an average daily, two-way traffic
volume of approximately 34,000 vehicles east of Bascom Avenue and 54,200
vehicles west of Bascom Avenue (City of Campbell, 1982).
Camden Avenue is a major north/south arterial linking the City of
Santa Clara with the Almaden area in conjunction with the San Tomas
Expressway. Camden Avenue intersects Bascom Avenue approximately one
mile south of the proposed site and State Highway 17 with an interchange

Avenue are controlled with traffic signals. Camden Avenue currently
experiences an average daily two-way traffic volume of approximately
63,000 vehicles west of Bascom Avenue (City of Campbell, 1982).
Campbell Avenue is a major east/west arterial west of Bascom Avenue
and a minor residential street east of Bascom Avenue. West of Bascom
Avenue it is improved to four lane status with exclusive left turn lanes
at major intersections and a two-way left turn lane adjacent to the
Pruneyard Shopping Center. East of Bascom Avenue it is a two-way.
two-lane residential street fully improved with curb. gutters and on
street parking. The intersections of Campbell Avenue with Bascom Avenue
and Union Avenue are controlled with traffic signals. Campbell Avenue
currently experiences an average daily two-way traffic volume of
approximately 20.500 vehicles between Bascom Avenue and Union Avenue
(City of Campbell, 1982).
Other roadways identified as having the potential to be utilized or
affected by project related traffic are Leigh Avenue. Campisi Way. Arroyo
Seco Drive. El Solyo Avenue, Shady Oak Avenue, Dry Creek Road, Salmar
Avenue and Harrison Avenue. Leigh Avenue is a north/south arterial
located approximately one-third of a mile to the east of the project
site. The facility is improved to four-five lane status with two
northbound and three southbound lanes, north of Hamilton Avenue.
Campisi Way is a minor roadway currently extending west from Bascom
Avenue between Hamilton and Campbell Avenues, approximately 1.000 yards
to a cul de sac. The intersection of Campisi Way with Bascom Avenue is
controlled with traffic signals. It should be noted that Campisi Way has
been proposed to extend northerly to intersect Hamilton Avenue as part of
the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership Project.
Arroyo Seco Drive, Shady Dale Avenue and El Solyo Avenue are minor
residential streets extending east from Bascom Avenue as shown on Figure
1. The streets are approximately 40 feet wide and fully improved with
curbs, gutters and sidewalks. The intersections of these roadways with
Bascom Avenue are currently controlled with stop signs on these streets.
Current, daily, two-way traffic volumes experienced by Arroyo Seco Drive,
Shady Dale Avenue and El Solyo Avenue are shown on Figure 3. Traffic
counts are shown in Appendix B.
-6-
Dry Creek Road extends east from Bascom Avenue intersecting Leigh
Avenue approximately one half mile away and continues further into San
Jose. In the project vicinity the roadway is relatively narrow,
approximately 30 feet wide, windy, and has narrow gravel shoulders.
Salmar Road is a minor, two-way street which, in conjunction with
Harrison Avenue, links Campbell Avenue with the Hamilton Avenue/Highway
17 interchange as shown in Figure 1. Salmar Road has one lane in each
direction, varies in width and is fully improved in some locations.
Harrison Avenue is a minor, two-way. two-lane street which is fully
improved along the majority of its length.
b) Regional Access
Regional access to the project vicinity by Interstate 280 and
Highway 17. 1-280 is a fully improved to freeway status and extends
northerly from the project vicinity up the Peninsula to San Francisco.
It extends south through San Jose and then turns north extending through
the communities of Pleasanton, Walnut Creek and Concord. In the project
vicinity the mainline portion of the facility consists of three lanes in
each direction.
Highway 17 is a major facility which extends northeast from the
project vicinity to Oakland along the easterly edge of the Bay. It
extends southwesterly from the proposed project site through the
community of Los Gatos to the City of Santa Cruz. Highway 17 is fully
improved to freeway status in the project vicinity with three lanes in
each direction and intersects both Hamilton Avenue and Camden Avenue at
Curtner Avenue with grade separated interchanges as shown is Figure 1.
c) Transit
Transit in the project vicinity is currently provided by the
Santa Clara County Transit District with Routes 26, 56. 61, 62 and 82.
All routes use Bascom Avenue with Route 26 extending between Eastridge
and Lockhead. Route 56 runs to the Silicon Valley area, together with
Route 61. Route 62 extends between Los Gatos and the Piedmont Hill area
and Route 82 between the Westgate area and North First Street in San
Jose. Routes 26. 62 and 82 operate on IS minute headways during peak
-7-
periods and 30 minute headways during the off peak. Routes 56 and 61
operate during peak periods only on 30 minute headways.
d) Proposed Roadway Improvements
There are currently a number of roadway improvements proposed
in the project area as part of other, already approved projects. These
include construction of a southbound right turn lane on Union Avenue at
Bascom Avenue, the construction of a second left turn lane on northbound
Union Avenue at Campbell Avenue, and construction of an additional right
turn lane on Curtner Avenue at Highway 17/Camden Avenue. In this
analysis, these improvements are assumed completed when this project is
completed.
The 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership project, as currently
approved, includes several additional roadway improvements. These are
adding a second left turn lane on northbound Bascom Avenue at Campbell
Avenue, a new roadway extending from Campisi Way across the Los Gatos
Creek connecting to Hamilton Avenue with an underpass, installation of
traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Campisi Way with
Bascom Avenue and a second left turn lane on northbound Bascom Avenue at
Campisi Way. This project is evaluated under conditions both with and
without the completion of the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership project.
e) Intersection Levels of Service
The operating characteristics of an intersection can be
described in the standardized format of level of service (LOS). The LOS
is a qualitative description of an intersection's quality of operation
based on delay and maneuverability. LOS can range from A, representing
free flow conditions, to F, meaning jammed conditions. In this report,
both the City of San Jose's and the Transportation Research Board's
methodologies for calculating LOS based upon the volume to capacity ratio
(v/c) of critical movements were employed to analyze the following
signalized intersections under various conditions. Both methodologies
were used because several analyzed intersections are located within the
City of Jose wich relies exclusively on their methodology, and several
are located within the City of Campbell who has previously used both.
The possible levels of service together with their respective
descriptions are shown in Table 1.

There were nine major signalized intersections which were
identified as having the potential to be significantly impacted by the
proposed project. The current A.M. and P.M. peak hour LOS of these
intersections are presented in Tables 3 and 4. These tables
show the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Union Avenue is currently
operating at LOS F or jammed conditions during the P.M. peak hour,
and the intersection of Bascom Avenue with Camden Avenue is operating
at capacity or LOS E during the evening peak hour, as calculated using
the City of San Jose's methodology. The remaining intersections all
operate at LOS D or better during the peak hours.
3) Impacts
a) Trip Generation
The project as currently proposed would consist of 140,000
gross square feet of office space. Using the Institute of Transportation
Engineers trip generation factors, it is estimated that the project would
generate approximately 1,722 one way trips per day as shown on Table 2.
Table 2 also shows projected A.M. and P.M. peak hour trips which would be
generated by the proposed project.

This distribution was obtained from City of Campbell staff (Manley, 1984)
and is based upon existing trip making patterns adjusted to local roadway
conditions. The distribution assumes 40 percent of the project related
trips would be to and from the north, 2 percent to and from the east, 16
percent to and from the west, 16 percent to and from the south and 26
percent to and from the Alamden area. The A.M. and P.M. peak hour
assignments of project related trips to the surrounding roadway network
are shown in Figure 5 and 6 respectively.
c) Capacity ~alysis
The impact of the proposed project on the surrounding roadway
network was streets identified and evaluated using a level of service
analysis (LOS) which is a standardized method of evaluating an
intersection's operating characteristics. This evaluation of operating
characteristics is done by relating traffic volumes, existing or
porjected to the roadway or intersection capacity in the form of a
critical volume to capacity rate (v/c). The increase in critical volumes
is what is actually used to identify significant impacts to intersections
within the Cities of Campbell and San Jose.
City of Campbell staff identified fourteen locations which had the
potential to be impacted by the proposed project. Nine of these are
signalized intersections which are listed in Tables 3 and 4 together with
their projected LOS assuming several scenarios. The proposed project is
evaluated for both the A.M. and P.M. peak hours with regard to conditions
assuming completion of other approved projects both with and without the
900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership project. The other approved projects
include the Campbell Business Park, an office building on Bascom Avenue
near Apricot Avenue, two office developments on Campisi Way, the
Graylands Business Park and residential development of the remaining
Ainsley Property as well as other developments in the City of San Jose.
The existing LOS of the intersections are also included within the
Tables. Definitions of LOS are provided in Table 1.
Of the nine intersections listed in Tables 2 and 3, six are within
the city limits of Campbell and three within the boundaries of San Jose.
Both the City of Campbell and the City of San Jose have established
criteria for evaluating changes in LOS and determining when impacts are
significant. Tables 3 and 4 show the respective City's criteria and

intersections which would be significantly impacted by the proposed
project based upon this criteria.
Review of Table 3 shows one intersection which would be
significantly impacted by the proposed project during the A.M. peak hour.
The intersection of Hamilton Avenue and Salmar Avenue would be
significantly impacted during the A.M. peak hour as determined by
the criteria in Table 3. The critical volumes would be increased
by at least five percent.
The intersection of Hamilton Avenue with Leigh Avenue and Bascom
Avenue and Hamilton Avenue would be operating at LOS E to F when already
approved projects are complete. However, the proposed project would not
reduce the operating characteristics to a significant degree. The
intersections of Camden with Curtner, Bascom with Union, Campisi, Camden
and Campbell Avenues with Union Avenue would continue to operate
satisfactorily during the A.M. peak hour assuming completion of both the
proposed project and already approved projects.
Review of Table 4 shows two intersections would be significantly
impacted by the proposed project during the P.M. peak hour. The
intersection Bascom Avenue with Union Avenue would experience a 1.84
percent increase in critical volume as a result of constructing the
proposed project. The intersection of Bascom Avenue with Hamilton Avenue
would experience an increase in critical volumes of 1.77 percent and 1.69
percent with and without the Hamilton Avenue project, respectively.
The intersection of Bascom and Campbell Avenues would be adversely
impacted under conditions without the construction of the 900 E. Hamilton
Avenue project. The critical volumes would be increased with the
presence of the proposed project by 1.6 percent and the LOS would be D as
determined by the Circular 212 calculation methodology (a standardized
method 01 calculating LOS developed by the Transportation Research
Board). The intersection would not be significantly impacted by the
proposed project if the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue project is completed due
to the LOS being C or better as a result of the construction of an
additional left turn lane on Bascom Avenue associated with the Hamilton
Avenue project.
The remaining intersections in Table 4 would not be significantly
impacted by construction of the proposed project during the evening peak
hour.
-17-
Other locations identified by City of Campbell staff as having the
potential to be impacted by the proposed project include Arroyo Seco
Drive, El Solyo Avenue, Shady Dale Avenue, Dry Creek Road, the Highway 17
ramps at Hamilton Avenue and access to the project site. Arroyo Seco
Drive, El Solyo Avenue and Shady Dale Avenue are minor streets extending
east from Bascom Avenue and the project vicinity through a residential
area. They currently experience very limited traffic volumes as
indicated in Figure 3, and it is anticipated that completion of the
proposed project would not increase existing traffic volumes on these
streets. Almost all project related trips will be oriented toward other
areas and as a result use the major arterials as indicated in Figure 4.
These roadways do provide a link to Leigh Avenue, but it is felt that use
of these roadways would not be effective in reducing travel times and
would not be utilized.
It is anticipated that Dry Creek Road would be utilized for a
limited amount of project related trips which would be limited to five to
six trips during the peak hour.
Review of Figure 5 shows the proposed project would add
approximately 73 vehicles to the southbound Highway 17 offramp at
Hamilton Avenue during the morning peak hour. The ramp currently
experiences an A.M. peak hour volume of approximately 1160 vehicles which
is projected to increase to approximately 1716 vehicles with completion
of other approved projects including the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue project.
Completion of the proposed project would increase existing the existing
A.M. peak hour volumes by 6 percent to approximately 1235 vehicles and
the projected volume by 4 percent to 1790 vehicles. The proposed project
would increase existing traffic volumes on the northbound onramp during
the A.M. peak hour by 1.6 percent to 910 vehicles and projected volumes
by 1.2 percent to 1176 vehicles. The proposed project would have a
negligable impact on the remaining Highway 17 ramps at Hamilton Avenue
during the A.M. peak hour.
During the evening peak hour, the proposed project would add
approximately 53 vehicles to the northbound onramp from westbound
Hamilton Avenue as indicated in Figure 6. The ramp currently experiences
a P.M. peak hour volume of approximately 565 vehicles which would be
increased to approximately 1169 vehicles with completion of already
-18-
approved projects. Completion of the proposed project would increase
existing volumes by9 percent to 618 vehicles and projected volumes by
4.5 percent to 1222 vehicles. Completion of the proposed project would
have a negligable impact on the remaining Highway 17 ramps at Hamilton
Avenue during the P.M. peak hour.
d) Driveways/Site Access
The project as currently proposed would have access to Bascom
Avenue at both the northerly and southerly edges of the site. As
currently proposed, these would be 20 feet wide driveways extending west
to the proposed parking garage as shown in Figure 2. As stated in the
project description, the northerly driveway would be the primary point of
access connecting with both levels of the parking garage. The southerly
driveway would be used primarily as a service access point and directly
connect with the lower level of the garage only. Final design of the
access points has not been completed so a comprehensive review of site
access is not possible at this time. However, this is a key issue which
should be addressed carefully during final design. The driveways arc
currently proposed to be 20 feet wide. These should be a minimum of 24
feet wide to accommodate two-way traffic. The actual locations of the
driveways at Bascom Avenue is also very important as they can affect the
operational characteristics of the intersection of El Solyo Avenue and
Bascom Avenue. During final design, the developer should work closely
with City of Campbell staff to insure a safe and efficient means of
access is provided. This will probably include the development of
channelization schemes for Bascom Avenue, particularly with regard to the
existing two-way left turn lane.
e) Transit.
It is expected that the proposed project would have a very
minimal impact on local transit in the project vicinity. Experience has
shown that most office commuters in the Santa Clara Valley rely upon the
private automobile for transportation almost exclusively.
-19-
5) Mitigation
The following section suggests a series of measures to mitigate
traffic related impacts which would be associated with construction of
the proposed project. The first set apply regardless of construction of
the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership project. The second set are
applicable if the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue project is completed and third
set if it is not.
Suggested measures regardless of the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue
Partnership project.
Site Access. Work closely with City of Campbell staff during final
design of the proposed project to develop plans which insure safe and
efficient access to the site while minimizing the impact to Bascom Avenue
and the El Solyo Avenue/Bascom Avenue intersection. Specific measures
should include channelization on Bascom Avenue and location of entrance
points.
Bascom Avenue @ Union Avenue. Work closely with City of Campbell
staff to further evaluate and develop mitigation measures for the
intersection of Bascom Avenue with Union Avenue. A potential means of
mitigating project related impacts would be to install an exclusive right
turn lane from southbound Union Avenue to westbound Bascom Avenue.
However, this should be evaluated further in terms of cost versus
realized improvement.
Hamilton Avenue @ Bascom Avenue. A free right turn lane should be
constructed from northbound Bascom Avenue to eastbound Hamilton Avenue.
The LOS calculation methodologies employed in completing this analysis
are not sensitive enough to quantify the impact of constricting this
additional lane. However, its beneficial impact would be very noticeable
to motorists. It should be noted that the City is already contemplating
this improvement as part of other projects in the area, and it may be
that the cost of this improvement should be born by several developers.
Preferential Parking. Preferential parking or other incentives
should be developed to encourage car and van pooling.
Staggered Work Hours. The use of staggered work hours or flex time
should be encouraged to the degree possible.
-20-
Suggested Mitigation assuming completion of the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue
Partnership project.
Hamilton Avenue @ Salmar Avenue. A potential means of mitigating project
related impacts at this location could be to acquire right of way and add
an exclusive through lane to the southbound Highway 17 off ramp.
Construction of this lane would reduce the forecast A.M. vlc below
forecast vlc levels without the project. However, this should be
evaluated further with regard to other proposed developments in the area
in close coordination with city staff. An assessment policy may be the
most equitable.
Bascorr. Avenue & Campbell Avenue. No mitigation would be required at this
intersection if the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue project is completed which
includes the installation of an additional left turn lane from northbound
Bascom Avenue to westbound Campbell Avenue.
Suggested Mitigation assuming the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership
project is not completed.
Hamilton Avenue @ Salmar Avenue. Acquire right of way and add an
exclusive right turn lane to westbound Hamilton Avenue. Construction
of this lane would reduce the forecast A.M. vlc below forecast vlc levels
without the project.
Bascorr. Avenue & Campbell Avenue. Install a second left turn lane from
northbound Bascom Avenue to westbound Campbell Avenue. Installation of
this lane would reduce the forecast vlc with the project below forecast
levels without the project. It should be noted that this lane addition
is currently part of the proposed 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership
project.

~.2 CIRCULATION AND PARKING
EXISTING SE'M'ING
This section has been adapted fran the Traffic Study for the Proposed Office
Bui1dilli on Bascom Avenue in the City of Campbell, prepared by Wilson and
Porter Engineering, Hay, 1984. The traffic study is hereby incorporated by
reference and a copy is on file at the City of Campbell Planning Department.
Local Access. The proposed project site is located in the northeastern
portion of the City of Campbell adjacent to Bascom Avenue as shown on Figure
1-2. The proj ect si te is linked to Highway 17 to the north via Bascom Avenue
and Hamil ton Avenue and to Highway 17 to the south via Bascom Avenue and
Camden Avenue. The project site is linked to the Almaden area via Bascom
Avenue, Union Avenue and Camden Avenue. Bascom Avenue provides access to
areas north of the site directly and to areas east of the site in conjunction
with Hamil ton Avenue. A combination of the San Tanas Expressway, Camden
Avenue and Bascom Avenue link the proposed project s1 te to parts of Santa
Clara.
Bascom Avenue is a major north/south arterial in the Santa Clara Valley
extending north fran the proposed project site to Santa Clara and south fran
the proposed site to Los Gatos. The roadway is a two-way, six lane facility
in the project vicinity with exclusive left turn lanes at major intersections
and a two-way left turn median lane between intersections. The roadway is
fully improved with curbs, gutters and on street parking in the project
vicini ty. The roadway currently experiences an average daily two-way traffic
volume of approximately 35,000 vehicles (City of Campbell, 1983).
Hamilton Avenue is a major eastlWest arterial in the project vicinity linking
the Ci ty of Campbell wi th areas of San Jose. The roadway is a two-way,
six-lane facility. It has three eastbound lanes fran Highway 17 to April Way
and two eastbound lanes beyond April Way. Three westbound lanes with parking
are provided between Bascom and Leigh Avenues and three lanes without parking
are provided west of Bascom Avenue to Highway 17. Hamil ton Avenue intersects
Highway 17 with an interchange and Bascom Avenue with an at grade intersection
controlled with traffic signalS. The interchange with Highway 17 has partial
clover leafs as shown diagramatically in Figure 3.2-1. Hamil ton Avenue
currently experiences an average daily, two-way traffic vol ume of
apprOximately 34,000 vehicles east of Bascom Avenue and 54,100 vehicles west
of Bascom Avenue (City of Campbell, 1982).
Camden Avenue is a major north/south arterial linking the City of Santa Clara
with the Almaden area in conjunction with the San Tomas Expressway. Camden
Avenue intersects Bascom Avenue, approximately one mile south of the proposed
si tee The State Highway 17/Camden Avenue interchange is apprOximately one
half mile west of Bascom Avenue. Camden Avenue is fully improved with three
lanes in each direction wi th exclusive left turn lanes at intersections in the
project vicinity. The intersections of Camden Avenue with both Highway 17
interchange ramps and Bascom Avenue are controlled with traffic signals.
Camden Avenue currently experiences an average daily two-way traffic volume of
approximately 63,000 vehicles west of Bascom Avenue (City of Campbell, 1982).
3-6
Campbell Avenue is a major east/west arterial west of Bascom Avenue and a
minor residential street east of Bascom Avenue. West of Bascom Avenue,
Campbell Avenue is improved to four lane status with exclusive left turn lanes
at major intersections and a two-way left turn lane adjacent to the Pruneyard
Shopping Center. East of Bascom Avenue, Campbell Avenue is a two-way,
two-lane residential street fully improved with curb, gutters and on street
parking. The intersections of Campbell Avenue with Bascom Avenue and Union
Avenue are controlled with traffic signals. Campbell Avenue currently
experiences an average daily two-way traffic volume of approximately 20,500
vehicles between Bascom Avenue and Union Avenue (City of Campbell, 1982).
Other roadways identified as having the potential to be utilized or affected
by project related traffic are Leigh Avenue Campisi Way, Arroyo Seco Drive, El
Solyo Avenue, Shady Dale Avenue, Dry Creek Road, Salmar Avenue and Harrison
Avenue. Leigh Avenue is a north/south arterial located approximately
one-third of a mile to the east of the project site. The facility is improved
to five lane status with two northbound and three southbound lanes, north of
Hamilton Avenue.
Campisi Way is a minor roadway between Hamil ton and Campbell Avenues,
currently extending west from Bascom Avenue approximately 1,000 yards to a cul
de sac. The intersection of Campisi Way with Bascom Avenue is controlled with
traffic signals. It should be noted that Campisi Way has been proposed to be
extended north to intersect Hamilton Avenue as part of the 900 E. Hamilton
Avenue Partnership Office project (Prometheus).
Arroyo Seco Drive, Shady Dale Avenue and El Solyo Avenue are minor residential
streets extending east from Bascom Avenue, south of Campbell Avenue. The
streets are approximately 40 feet wide and fully improved with curbs, gutters
and sidewalks. The intersections of these roadways with Bascom Avenue are
currently controlled with stop signs on these streets. Current, daily,
two-way traffic volumes experienced by Arroyo Seco Drive, Shady Dale Avenue
and El Solyo Avenue are shown on Figure 3.2-1.
Dry Creek Road extends east from Bascom Avenue, intersecting Leigh Avenue
approximately one half mile away and continues further into San Jose. In the
project vicinity, the roadway is relatively narrow, approximately 30 feet
wide, windy, and has narrow gravel shoulders.
Salmar Road is a minor, two-way street which, along with Harrison Avenue,
links Campbell Avenue wi th the Hamil ton Avenue !Highway 17 interchange. Salmar
Road has one lane in each direction, varies in width and is fully improved in
some locations. Harrison Avenue is a minor, two-way, two-lane street which is
fully imrpved along the majority of its length.
Resional Access. Regional Access to the project vicinity is prOVided by
Interstate 280 and Highway 17. Interstate 280 is fully improved to freeway
status and extends west and north from the project vicini ty up the Peninsula
to San Francisco. Interstate 280 also extends east through San Jose,
connecting with Interstate 680 which extends north to the communities of
Fremont, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek and Concord. In the project vicini ty, the
mainline portion of the facility consists of three lanes in each direction.I
Highway 17 is a major facility which extends northeast from the project

underpass; traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Campisi Way with
Bascom Avenue; and a second left turn lane on northbound Bascom Avenue at
Campisi Way. This report evaluates project traffic impacts both with and
wi thout the completion of the 900 E. Hamil ton Avenue Partnership office
project and that project's related improvements.
IMPACTS
Trip Generation. The project as currently proposed would consist of 140,000
gross square feet of office space. Using the Institute of Transportation
Engineers trip generation factors, it is estimated that the project would
generate approximately 1,722 one way trips per day as shown on Table 3.2-4.
Table 3.2-4 also shows projected A.M. and P.M. peak hour trips which would be
generated by the proposed project.

Trip Distributi on. The forecast trips which would be generated by the
proposed project were distributed to the surrounding network as shown in
Figure 3.2-2. This distribution was obtained fran City of Campbell staff
(Manley, 1984) and is based upon existing trip making patterns adjusted to
local roadway conditions. The distribution assumes 40 percent of the project
related trips would be to and from the north, two percent to and fran the
east, 16 percent to and from the west, 16 percent to and from the south and 26
percent to and from the Almaden area. The A.M. and P.M. peak hour assignments
of project related trips to the surrounding roadway netwoork are shown in
Figure 3.2-3 and 3.2-4 respectively.

.
Intersection Level of Service Analysis. The impact of the proposed project on
the surrounding roadway network was identified and evaluated using a level of
service analysis (LOS) which is a standardized method of evaluating an
intersection's operating characteristics. This evaluation of operating
characteristics is done by relating traffic volumes, existing or projected, to
the roadway or intersection capacity in the form of a critical volume to
capacity ratio (v/c). The increase in critical volumes is what is actually
used to identify significant impacts to intersections within the Cities of
Campbell and San Jose.
City of Campbell staff identified 14 locations which had the potential to be
impacted by the proposed project. Nine of these are signalized intersections
which are listed in Tables 3.2-2 and 3.2-3 together with their projected LOS
assuming several scenarios. The proposed project is evaluated for both the
A.M. and P.M. peak hours, assuming completion of other projects (both with and
without the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue Partnership office project, the approval of
which is the subject of a June 5, 1984 referendum). The other approved
projects include the Campbell Business Park, an office building on Bascom
Avenue near Apricot Avenue, two office developments on Campisi Way, the
Graylands Business Park, and residential development of the remaining Ainsley
Property, as well as other developments in the City of San Jose. The existing
LOS of the intersections are also included within these tables for comparison
purposes.
Of the nine intersections listed in Tables 3.2-2 and 3.2-3, six are within the
city limits of Campbell and three within the boundaries of San Jose. Both the
City of Campbell and the City of San Jose have established criteria for
evaluating changes in LOS and determining when impacts are significant.
Tables 3.2-2 and 3.2-3 show the respective city's criteria and intersections
which would be significantly affected by the proposed project based upon this
criteria.
Review of Table 3.2-2 shows one intersection which would be significantly
affected by the proposed project during the A.M. peak hour. The intersection
of Hamilton Avenue with Salmar Avenue would be significantly affected during
the A.M. peak hour as determined by the criteria in Table 3.2-2. The critical
volumes would be increased by at least five percent.
The intersection of Hamilton Avenue with Leigh Avenue and Bascom Avenue and
Hamilton Avenue would be operating at LOS E to F when already approved
projects are complete. However, the proposed project would not reduce the
operating characteristics to a significant degree. The intersections of
Camden with Curtner, Bascom with Union, Campisi, Camden and Campbell Avenues
with Union Avenue would continue to operate satisfactorily during the A.M.
peak hour, assuming completion of both the proposed project and already
approved projects.
Review of Table 3.2-3 shows two intersections would be significantly affected
by the proposed project during the P.M. peak hour. The intersection Bascom
Avenue with Union Avenue would experience a 1.84 percent increase in critical
volume as a result of constructing the proposed project. The intersection of
Bascom Avenue with Hamilton Avenue would experience an increase in critical
volumes of 1.77 percent and 1.69 percent with and without the Hamilton Avenue
project respectively.

The intersection of Bascom and Campbell Avenues would be adversely affected
under conditions without the construction of the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue
project. The critical volumes would be increased with the presence of the
proposed project by 7.1 percent and the LOS would be D as determined by the
Circular 212 calculation methodology (a standardized method of calculating LOS
developed by the Transportation Research Board). The intersection would not
be significantly affected by the proposed proj ect if the 900 E. Hamil ton
Avenue project is completed due to the LOS being C or better as a result of
the construction of an additional left turn lane on Bascom Avenue associated
with the Hamil ton Avenue project.
The remaining intersections in Table 3.2-3 would not be significantly affected
by construction of the proposed project during the evening peak hour.
Other locations identified by City of Campbell staff as having the potential
to be affected by the proposed project include Arroyo Seco Drive, El Solyo
Avenue, Shady Dale Avenue, Dry Creek Road, the Highway 17 ramps at Hamil ton
Avenue and access to the project site. Arroyo Seco Drive, El Solyo Avenue and
Shady Dale Avenue are minor streets extending east from Bascom Avenue and the
project vicinity through a residential area. They currently experience very
limited traffic volumes as indicated in Figure 3.2-1, and it is anticipated
that completion of the proposed project would not increase existing traffic
volumes on these streets. Almost all project related trips will be oriented
toward other areas and, as a resul t, use the major arterials as indicated in
Figure 3.2-2. These roadways do provide a link to Leigh Avenue, but use of
these roadways would not be effective in reducing travel times.
It is anticipated that Dry Creek Road would be utilized for a limited amount
of project related trips which would be limited to five to six trips during
the peak hour.
Review of Figure 3.2-3 shows the proposed project would add approximately 73
vehicles to the southbound Highway 17 off ramp at Hamilton Avenue during the
morning peak hour. The ramp currently experiences an A. M. peak hour volume of
apprOximately 1,160 vehicles and is projected to increase to approximately
1,716 vehicles with completion of other approved projects including the 900 E.
Hamil ton Avenue project. Completion of the proposed project would increase
the existing A. M. peak hour volumes by six percent to appproximately 1,235
vehicles and the project volume by four percent to 1,790 vehicles. The
proposed project would increase existing traffic volumes on the northbound
on ramp during the A.M. peak hour by 1.6 percent to 910 vehicles and projected
volumes by 1.2 percent to 1,176 vehicles. The proposed project would have a
negligible impact on the remaining Highway 17 ramps at Hamil ton Avenue during
the A.M. peak hour.
During the evening peak hour, the proposed project would add apprOximately 53
vehicles to the northbound on ramp from westbound Hamilton Avenue as indicated
in Figure 3.2-4. The ramp currently experiences a P.M. peak hour volume of
apprOximately 565 vehicles which would increase to apprOximately 1,169
vehicles with completion of already approved projects. Completion of the
proposed project would increase existing volumes by nine percent to 618
vehicles and project volumes by 4.5 percent to 1,222 vehicles. Completion of
the proposed project would have a negligible impact on the remaining Highway
17 ramps at Hamil ton Avenue during the P. M. peak hour.
3-18
The applicant should work closely with Ci ty of Campbell staff to
further evaluate and develop mitigation measures for the intersection
of Bascom Avenue with Union Avenue. A potential means of mitigating
project related impacts would be to install an exclusive right turn
lane from southbound Union Avenue to westbound Bascom Avenue. However,
this should be evaluated further in terms of cost versus realized
improvement.
A free right turn lane should be constructed from northbound Bascom
Avenue to eastbound Hamil ton Avenue. The LOS calculation methodologies
employed in completing this analysis are not sensitive enough to
quantify the impact of constructing this additional lane. However, its
beneficial impact would be very notioeable to motorists. It should be
noted that the city is already contemplating this improvement as part
of other projects in the area, and the cost of this improvement may be
borne by several developers.
Preferential parking or other incentives should be developed to
encourage car and van pooling.
The use of staggered work hours or flex time should be encouraged to
the extent possible.
Recommended mitigation measures assuming completion of the 900 E. Hamilton
Avenue Partnership project:
A potential means of mitigating project related impacts at the Hamilton
AvenuelHighway 17/Salmar Avenue intersection could be to acquire right
of way and add an exclusive through lane to the southbound Highway 17
off ramp. Construction of this lane would reduce the forecast A.M. v/c
below forecast v/c levels without the project. However, this should be
evaluated further with regard to other proposed developments in the
area in close coordination with city staff. An assessment policy may
be the most equitable means of financing this improvement.
No mitigation would be required at the Bascom Avenue/Campbell Avenue
intersection with completion of the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue project
which would include the installation of an addi tional left turn lane
from northbound Bascom Avenue to westbound Campbell Avenue.
Recommended mitigation measures assuming the 900 E. Hamilton Avenue
Partnership project is not completed:
Acquire right of way and add an exclusive right turn lane to the
westbound Hamil ton Avenue approach of the Hamil ton AvenuelHighway
17/Salmar Avenue intersection. Construction of this lane would reduce
the forecast A.M. v/c below forecast v/c levels without the project.
Install a second left turn lane from northbound Bascom Avenue to
westbound Campbell Avenue. Installation of this lane would reduce the
forecast v/c with the project below forecast levels without the
project. It should be noted that this lane addition is currently part
of the proposed 900 E. Hamil ton Avenue Partnership project.
3-20
15. SIDNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF THE
PRo.JECT IS IMPLEMENTED
Section 3 addresses impacts which would result if the proposed project were
implemented and suggests measures to mitigate these impacts. Suggested
mitigation measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts can be incorporated
into the project design as conditions of approval. The significant adverse
envirollDental impacts (some of which can be mitigated but not totally avoided)
if the proposed project is implemented are as follows.
City of Campbell intersections where project traffic increases the
critical volume by more than 1.5 percent in cases where the LOS is
already at D as defined Qy Circular 212 methodology:
· Hamilton Avenue/Salmar Avenue (A.M., with and without 900 E.
Hamilton Project);
· Bascom Avenue/Campbell Avenue (P.M., without 900 E. Hamil ton
Proj ect);
· Bascom AvenuelUnion Avenue (P.M., with and without 900 E. Hamilton
Proj ect ) ;
· Bascom Avenue/Hamilton Avenue (P.M., with and without 900 E.
Hamil ton Project).

INTRODUCTION
A developer is constructing an office building on Bascom Avenue in the
City of Campbell. This project is to mitigate the traffic impacts that
will be generated by the office building. The southbound Route 17
off-ramp at Post Mile 12.34 (Hamilton Avenue) is to be \1idened from three
lanes to four lanes.
The project is in the rTE-l2 Hinor A Program. No additional right of way
needs are anticipated. The estimated construction cost of $ 90,000,
including traffic control, will be financed by the City of Campbell.
Construction is expected to begin in the 1984-85 fiscal year and be
completed through the encroachment permit process. The office project is
expected to be completed in October of 1985.
-
PROJECT CATEGORY
This is a Category 48 project because the project does not require new
right-of-way and does not substantially increase traffic capacity.
BACKGROUND
This yroject is a part of the office building project approved by the City
of Campbell. This project is required by the City to mitigate traffic
problems associated with the office building. A copy of the City's
conditions of approval for the office building with regard to traffic
mitigation requirements is attached, Exhibit 4B.
EXISTING FACILITY
~",,""-,,',',""," '",~
;''!;.~,~:::. .~" .~".,~~,\;;;r
~ ....~?"~'}-_..-. j."
The existing southbound Route 17 off-ramp to Hamilton Avenue begins with
two lanes diverging from the freeway main line and widens to three lanes
approximately 300 feet from the main line or 500 feet from the
intersection with Hamilton Avenue. At IIamilton Avenue, the ramp currently
consists of an exclusive left turn lane, a combination left turn and
through lane across Hamilton Avenue to Salmar Avenue and a free ri?ht turn
lane to \vestbound IIal'lilton Avenue. The intersection of the off-rarlp ."i th
llamilton Avenue is controlled with traffic actuated signals. Both the
off-ramp and I~milton Avenue currently accomodate a large volume o[
traffic during the a.~. and p.m. peak periods causing heavy conGestion at
the in tersec tion of the rarlp Hi t!1 Hnr.lil ton A ven ue.
TRAFFIC DATA
The 1983-3i~ traffic volumes on I:oute 17 at the project location ore as
follm"s:

..
The estimated off-ramp and Hamilton Avenue traffic volumes V/hich assume
completion of the office project and other approved projects in the area
are included in the attachment, Exhibits 3A & 3B.
DEFICIENCES AND JUSTIFICATION
The additional traffic generated by the office project \"ill aggravate
traffic congestion at the intersection, adding to queues on both Hamilton
Avenue and the south bound off-ramp. The intersection of the ramp with
Hamilton Avenue currently operates at a level of service (LOS) C during
the a.m. peak hour and LOS E during the evening peak hour. A description
of LOS is included in the attachment, Exhibit 5. Construction of the
office building coupled with other already approved projects in the area
will reduce the intersection operating characteristics to LOS E during the
a.m. and LOS F during the p.m. peak hour. The City of Campbell has
determined that this is unacceptable and that improvements are required to
mitigate the traffic impacts associated with the projected increase.
PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed plan is shown in the attachment and is described in the
Introduction. The ir.lprovements would consist of widening the ramp fron
three to four lanes with the lane configuration at the intersection of
Hamilton Avenue consisting of two exclusive left turn lanes, an exclusive
through lane and an exclusive right turn lane. No traffic signal
modifications are anticipated other than a possible relocation of the
controller box and modifications to existing loop detectors.
Construction of the project will not substantially increase capacity. The
project will improve operating characteristics of the intersection with
the projected a.m. LOS being improved from E to D and the p.m. volume to
"
capacity ratio being improved from 1.09 to 1.03.
PROPOSAL FUNDING
The Developer will be responsible for design and construction costs.
The cost of the PS ('" E review Hill be part of the encroachment permit fee.

RE: 2105 South Bascom Avenue
Mitigation Measures Agreement Identified as McG235
Dear Mr. Penoyer:
I received the above agreement. Pursuant to the letter of
December 20th, 1984, from Mr. Joseph Elliott, it is our
understanding that the work required at Hamilton 17 Off-Ramp will
be as conceptually presented to Cal Trans by Wilson and Porter
Engineering's drawings dated 7/17/84, revised 12/17/84 and
referenced in Burch Bachtold's letter of December 18, 1984.
Should land outside the jurisdiction of the City, i.e. Cal Trans
land, not allow completion of the traffic mitigation measures
that for the sum of $402,000.00, Lincoln can satisfy their total
traffic mitigation requirements. This sum represents more than
we anticipated the mitigation measures would cost and included
engineering, inspection and other costs in addition to hard
construction cost.
In Paragraph 6 of the agreement, it provides for the payment of
$28,140.00 which is seven percent of the total projected traffic
mitigation costs. However, it is my understanding that office
examination of improvement plans, field inspection of
construction of improvements and all necessary expenses incurred
by the City are seven percent of hard construction cost, pursuant
to discussions that John Wilson of Porter and Wilson Engineering
had with Mr. Bill Helms. I would like to modify the agreement to
provide that such expenses will be an amount equal to seven
percent of hard construction cost and that Lincoln Bascom Office
will receive a credit or reimbursement including interest on any
amounts in excess of seven percent of hard construction cost that
may be paid. If this is acceptable, we will modify the agreement
accordingly.
Sincerely,
~~

Dear Mr. Elliott:
This letter is a fOllow-up of our phone conversation of
December 17, 1984.
Last Friday, I met with John Wilson of Wilson & Porter to
discuss the left-turn channelization on the southbound
off-ramp of the Hamilton Avenue/Route 17 Interchange. The basic
design is "conceptually" acceptable to the Department. The
city and the developer could come to an agreement as to an
acceptable dollar amount and combine this project with the
overcrossing widening or they could proceed with the project
report and construct the ramp modification at this time.
I am enclosing a copy of proposed milestones for the widening
of the Hamilton Avenue OVercrossing. This schedule did not
take into account the R/W requirements. The R/W will have to
be acquired and certified before the project can be advertised
for bid. Please review: this schedule and determine if it is
feasible from your standpoint. Would the city acquire the R/W
or would you desire to contract the state to acquire it?
We need to get together in early January to discuss the Project
Study Report (PSR) that will be the first step in getting this
project moving.
I will give you a call after January 1, 1984, to set-up a
meeting. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely yours
