DE NOVO P~I~RING: USE PERMIT FOR A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AT 20473 SARATOGA- LOS GATOS ROAD (Applicant/Appellant, Imperial' Savings and Loan). City b~nager gave the hackground of the appeal, and Assistant Planner Flores gave further details. , . 3-8/19/81 The Public Hearing was opened at 8:05 p.m. Angelo Scampini, attorney for Imperial Savings & Loan, spoke for the granting of the use permit. He stated t_hat the cuLk~eany could not adequately serve its clients because of space limitations at the current location, both as to working space inside the building and parking spaces outside. · It was impossible to expand the building in any direction, he said, but the proposed new location would provide significantly increased working space and parking space. Mr. Scampini pointed out that the move would reduce the congestion of a'.large number of financial institutions in that area of the Village. That congestion~I~, he . stated, reduced foot traffic and the ~ercantile value of property; occupation of the building by a merchandising or sales organization would increase sales tax revenues. Mr. Scampinit~asserted tha~ Imperial Savings and Loan had cc~plied with all conditions ir-~posed upon it by the Planning CC~L.L~SSiOn, including agreeing to maintain ah alley whose ownership was disputed.. Furthen~ore, he said, they would improve the site of the new building by elim/nating an unsightly shed and a loading dock and adding whatever landscaping the City .desired. He felt that denial of the use permit was unwarranted, unjust, and contrary to the best interest of the Co~Tunity. If the permit were denied~, he said, Imperial Savings and Loan would simply have to move to a different locution. Councilmember Watson pointed out that.' Mr. Scampini see~ed optimistic as to 'the future of his institution at a time when many were apparently in difficulties. Mr. Scampini replied that they were ir~eed experiencing s~ne tight conditions, but that the present Situation was not expected to last long. Councilmember Watson then asked what ~lans were for the present location, if ~ial Savings and Loan vacated theI premises. Mr. Scampini re~sponded that the premises would he restored to their original condition. CounCilmember ~ensen inquired as to the fate of Helen' s Antiques, occupant of the proposed new location. Mr. Scampini stated he thought they had abandoned their operation~ Gus Francis, co-(7~ner of Helen' s. Antiques, re- sponded that they planned to relocate if the use permit were granted but would remain in the present location if it were not. Councilmember Mallory asked whether the person responsible for decision-making .were present to answer questions about the process of finding a new location for the branch. Mr. Scampini stated that he was familiar With the general process, but he was unable'to answer specific questions put to him. Mayor Callon noted that the Planning Cc~Tnission had been concerned about sales tax revenues and asked whether~a mercantile o~ration moving into the current location would need a variance to make us~ of the small number of parking spaces. Assistant Planner Flores replied that such a variance would be needed, if a use that required much parking were proposed for the location; a restaurant, probably could not locate the~e, but a light-retail operation with. scxne storage space end active cust~ner space~ could do so. Councilmember Mallory asked George Mock, architect for the project, what was being done to enhance the site. Mr. Mock explained that the intent was to clean up the exterior and remodel the interior ex~ensively, but not to change the general shape of the building., UnSightly ve~ts would be closed, and window sills would be raised to permit more ,landscaping beneath them. Costs would be over $100,000 .for the interior remodeling, be said, and $30-40,000 for the exterior work. C: W. Neale, 20345 Williams Avenue, spoke in favor of.granting the use permit, saying that Imperial Savings and Loanswas a reputable company that had improved Saratoga. . ~ Bill ~abcock, 13834 Via Alto Coup., spoke as the real estate broker who had : · worked with ImperiaI Sa~ings & Loan to find a new location. He explained that he had investigated pessible location~ over a period of 18 months. Because of -~inaccessibility, lack of size, and other diffidulties, no other sultable__l_o_.c.~a_t.i~o_n ~ hadT~-n~6und, he said. '" C~arles Hackett, spoke as an antiques lwholesaler. He stated that this type of business was not generating a great deal of sales tax revenues, so the City would not lose much if Helen' s Antiques relocated. He felt relocation would Also be good for Imperial Savings & Loan. : Mr. Scampini sullied up by referring tQ the staff report to the'Planning Con~Lission · which reck'mended approval of the use permit. 4-8/i9/8i The Public Hearing was closed at 8:30 p.m. Councilmember Jensen asked whether the'applicant were willing to add three conditions to the use permit: turning off the lights at 9:00 p.m. and all day on Sunday; installing a wooden sign rather than a plexiglass one; and adding flowers to the landscaping. Mr. Scanpini replied that Imperial Savings and Loan was w. illing to cx]uply with whatever conditions the City int~Dsed, bhtithat regulations required' financial institutions to keep interior lights on. Councilmember Jensen stated she believed the project could be a real improve- ment. She favored a ~etail use of the ~-acated space in the Village. Councilmanber Watson felt the applica~"t's presentation and the staff presen- tation were good. Imperial Savings~and'Loan had been a good neighbor, he felt, and the City needed sales tax revenues. He, therefore, favored the use permit. Councilmember Mallory noted the concern of Planning Cu'Ll~ssioner Monia that the proposed project was not in the b~st interest of the City. A better- designed facilityI ShOuld be placed alqng the scenic'.highw~y, he felt. Mayor Callon stated her belief that the Planning Conmlission was correct its denial 'of the use pelrLit. She felt that financial institutions brought in sales tax revenues iP~irectly through increased use of the area, so loss of shch revenues wins ~an. argume.ntL-a~gains~t.-= granting the permit. Councilmember Clevenger said sh.e considered the proposed project counter- productive to increasing retail space in Saratoga.. She, therefore, favored denying the appeal without prejed.ice. -~ JENSEN/WATSON FOVM3 TO GRANT USE PERMIT WITH THREE CO}~3ITIONS. Failed 3-2. B. CONSIDERATION OF REZONING FROM R-1-12~500 TO R-M-4,000 ON THE 1.15+ ACRE PARCEL LOCATEU AT 14239 SARATOGA-SLNNYVALE ROAD, PER ORDINANCE NS-3. A~D ARTICLE 18, A~D THE ASSOCIRi'~U NEGATIVE DECLARATION. City Manager' explained appeal in general, ar~ Assistant Planner Flores provided =further details. Counci]/nellber Jensen expressed concern that the rezoning did not cc[nply with the provisions of the General Plan report regarding emergency access in areas with over I5,hOu~ing'Luni~s.~.~bst;l Planner Flores responded that two means of access had been recorded. Councilmember Jensen than noted She felt the proposal was inconsistent with the g6al expressed in the General Plan report to have single-family dwellings in the area. Assistant Planner Flores responded that the boundaries mentioned in the General Plan report were un- clear, and staff had interpreted them as allowing the proposed rezoning. Councilmember Clevenger stated that this was not discussed in the General Plan area nL=etings, but that the Planning. Ccnrtission. felt the rezoning was consistent with the General Plan. The Public Hearing was opened at 8:45 p.m. C.W. Neale :spoke as the applicant, saying that the property was surrounded by condominiums and apartments. His' purpose was to have fiye Ell units for sehior citizens which he would rent out for $300. in order to pay expenses. He planned to move three units from the Saratoga Federated Church property, he said, and add two more. Mr. Neale s~ated that he already had a list of senior citizens who wished to rent the units,. In response to Councilmember Watson's question, Mr. Neale stated that he had no drawings of the prp. posed buildings. Councilmember Mallory expressed the 'opinion that the Saratoga Federated Church buildings were not particularly desirable; Mr. Neale stated that he was Willing to build five new buildings if the ~h'~'~l~ings were unacceptable~ Mayor Callon asked if the units would ccme under the design review process, and Assistant Planner Flores confinne~ that they Wquld. Grover Steele, 20410 Walnut, spoke against the proposed rez0ning, stating that it would provide an easement close to his hone with a dirt road with great erosion problems. }~ felt the rezohing would not be in the best interests of the residents of Walnut. ~., . = . 5-8/19/81. " The Public Hearing was closed at 8:50 p.m. Mayor Callon asked wh~ R~M-5,000 was not the rezoning chosea5 for the site. Assistant Planner Flores stated ,Ithat'.there was no'other R-M-5,000 in the City; the project adjacent tq the property is zoned R-M-4,000, so the proposed ' zoning ~DUld be consistent.. He also, ~tated that 'the easenent was not required as part of the rezoning; it is an issue that would have to be resolved in the building site approval'stage. Councilmember Watson expressed concern that such approval might be almost autc~atic; Assistant Planner Flores stated that building site approval.is not autcmaeic, and other easements are posS.j]51e on the property. Councilmember Jensen asked for a map:of the floodplain,. and Director of Public Works provided the' map'.; and explained its meaning. Counci~ Jensen then stated that the matter should be referred to t_he General Plan Citizens ~dvisory Cu~u~ttee for interpretation of ~he General Plan Councilmember Malldry expressed his desire to act tonight. Councilmember Clevenger preferred noe to refer it to the GPCAC because they are so busy with other matters. Furthe/more, .she felt that since the issue had never ccFne up, there was no significant. conTmmnity concern. She felt the idea of high density had strong support for the Village area. Further, the property was attractive and had a good entrance, unlike the Carrela property, in her opinion. MALLORY/CAIION MOVED TO APPROVE REZONING, Passed 5-0. Mayor Callon encouraged Mr. SfZ=et~ to.be actively.involved in the development of the property and noted that Council action did not endorse an easement. City Manager stated that the staff would provide an ordinance to render the rezonlng effective, and that the res~ of the procedure ~Duld be ministerial. Councilmember Jansen requested that a flood plain zoning ordinance be pre- pared; Mayor Callon suggested that the Council mee~ with the City Manager. C. REFDRT AND ASSESSMENT FOR W~:h:~ E - 1981 SEASON. City Manager outlined issues. Cliff Johnson, Fire Marshall for Santa Clara County, reported on the subject, stating that 233 people had been notified that weed abatement was necessary, and in only 89 cases had abatenent needed to be done by the County. He explained that there had been cu~eltunications problems with Dr. Ned Abrams, whose property had been disced by the County as a fire hazard before the Fourth of July. The Public Hearing was opened at 9:10 p.m. Dr. Ned Abrams'spoke t0.'bbject to th& discing of his property by the County, since he had already disced. He expIained the comlnmications problens that had occurred; he also asserted that be had followed a certain method of discing for many years;-and that method-had been deeIned adequaEe in the past. Dr. Abrams urged the City not to acgept the Co unty's pbocedure. Councilmenber Wats6n noted that:the main factor to conside~ was safety, but the becase of the location of the Abrams property, appearance was a factor. He questioned whether fire breaks were adequate as opposed to discing an entire field. Chief Johnson stated that m~wing wouid not work, a~d discing such a large are would be too costly. ~Mayor Callon expressed her concern that Dr. Abrams ~ad received no writ _t~p.._~ nBti[~ ~f ~h~'~t~'s i66e~t~'~o disc. Chief J(~hnson noted that his office had attempted to contact Dr. Abra~s, bet that he was away, and the field needed to be disced before the Fourth of July. ~d Miljevich, Miljevich Drive, .asserted that the discing on Dr. Abrams' land had been done properly'and related hi:s extensive experienge in discing.' ~ · 6-8/19/81 Councilmember Jensen cc~mented that extensive weed cutting bad been performed on the McBain and Gibbs property and:that it was resulting in great alteration of the earth. Chief Johnson stated that he could only be guided by the weed abatement ordinance, and .he was not ~n expert on erosion. He pointed out that one alternative was spraying. Director of Public Works said that the work in question was probably a project adjacen~ to the McBain ahd Gibbs proper~y. He said his staff was going to investigate. The Public Hearing was closed at 9:20 p.m. Mayor Callon stated that the Council~ could not make the decisi6n as to whether the Weed Abatement Report was proper~ and could only hope that the Fire Marsball would' undertake procedures that would allow notice of abatement~ in writing. CouncilmEmber Clevenger agreed. Councilmember Jensen stated that the cost of weed abatement was one of the costs of owning property. JENS~N/MALIDRY MOVE]) TO ADOPT RESOLLFION 1028. Passed 5-0.
