Reconsideration of an application to install an electrical gate at an apartment entrance.
Tentative City Council date: November 16, 1998
Staff presentation: The video presentation reviewed the application to install an electrical gate at
the DeAnza entrance to the Aviary apartments complex which is a resubmission of the
application submitted in May 1998. Staff recommends a reversal of the decision in anticipation
of changes being made to the General Plan and fence ordinance that allow security gates to be
approved in certain cases. The approval would not take effect until the effective date of the
General Plan and fence ordinance amendments.
Referring to the site plan, Nis. Wordell illustrated the location of the gate which was previously
approved, that had some traffic circulation considerations related to Portofino and the gates that
were previously approved by the Planning Commission and then appealed to the Council are
Planning Commission Minutes 9 October 26, 1998
coming back to you tonight are here. One of the issues is that it is adjacent to Highway 280. Mr.
Cowan pointed out that City Council did not want to approve it because the General Plan
discouraged gates. The Council directed the Planning Commission to relook at the criteria for
approving or disapproving gates.
Mr. Pong Ng, Citation Homes, explained that the application was being resubmitted because one
of the City Council members appealed the Planning Commission decision to approve the
application because the General Plan language discouraged approval. He said that the location of
the electronic gate had not changed since the original application. Because the General Plan
language was modified, the project now fit the criteria.
Mr. Ng explained that the complex name was changed from Aviara to Aviare because the name
Aviara already existed in Southern California.
Chair Austin opened the meeting for public input; there was no one present who wished to speak.
Com. Harris requested that the language to the model resolution be amended to include the reason
for approval being that it was located by Highway 280.
MOTION: Com. Mahoney moved to approve Application 8-U-94 per the model
resolution as amended

was actually three staggered with directional arrows, indicating the location of the Hilton,
Marriott and apartments. Referring to the site plan, Ms. Wordell illustrated the emergency access
