BACKGROUND
On March 21, 2006, the City Council continued this item to April 4th due to time
constraints resulting from the late night discussions on the Valleo condominium item.
Since the meeting, the City has received an email from Ching Shyu (See Exhibit q, a
resident who lives on E. Estates Drive, stating her concerns about neighborhood privacy
impacts and requesting that the outdoor seating for the restaurants be moved to the
north side of the restaurants so that they will not be visible from the streets.
At its meeting of March 14, 2006, the Planning Commission voted (5-0) to recommend
approval of the project to construct two new restaurants, California Pizza Kitchen and
Islands Restaurants, at the northwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Wolfe
Road at the Valleo Fashion Park shopping center.
DISCUSSION
The Commission recommended amendments and additional conditions of approval to
the project that have been incorporated into the resolutions as shown below:

BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting a use permit and architectural and site approval to construct
two restaurants on the northwest corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and Wolfe Road at
Valleo Fashion Park. The project site is currently a portion of the Sears parking lot at
the shopping center.
The project also entails a tree removal permit to remove nine existing trees in the
parking lot that will be reconfigured for this development. The trees proposed to be
removed include four pine trees and five carob trees.
The subject site is surrounded by Sears department store and the Valko Fashion Park
shopping center to the north, two-story office buildings to the east across N. Wolfe Rd.,
and retail/ commercial uses to the west and to the south across Stevens Creek Blvd.
DISCUSSION:
Project Description
The proposed project entails construction of two restaurant buildings to be occupied by
California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant and Islands Restaurant. California Pizza Kitchen is
proposed to be 6,020 square feet with a seating capacity of 220 seats. Islands Restaurant
is proposed to be 5,910 square feet with a seating capacity of 223 seats.
Heart of the City Specific Plan
The proposed project, as conditioned, complies with the Heart of the City Specific Plan.
The following table indicates the project's compliance with the applicable development
requirements of the Heart of the City Specific Plan.

Site Layout
The two restaurants will be situated along Stevens Creek Blvd. and Wolfe Road. The
parking will be reconfigured to maximize the number of parking spaces that can be
located within close walking distance to the restaurants.
Both restaurants will provide outdoor patio seating areas facing Stevens Creek Blvd.
The outdoor seating areas will also face a common walkway that will serve both
restaurants and will be accessible from the parking lot area. A fountain is also proposed
in the middle of the common walkway between the outdoor patio seating areas for the
restaurants. California Pizza Kitchen is proposing a total of 44 outdoor patio seats.
Islands Restaurant is proposing a total of 20 outdoor patio seats.
Due to the high profile position of these buildings, staff believes that public art should
be located on the corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Wolfe Road, similar to the
requirement for the Menlo Equities project to provide public art on the northeast corner
of this intersection. The art work should be incorporated into the project. A condition
of approval includes this requirement.
Architectural Design
The architectural designs of the two restaurant buildings are distinct with each
restaurant highlighting its own corporate architectural style and image. This results in
different architectural designs for the two restaurants that will be next to each other on
a highly visible commercial corner.
California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant is proposing a one-story, 19.5 foot high building
that emphasizes a horizontal profile with rounded building elements. The exterior
materials will consist of EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) wall materials and
stone veneer along the building base. The conceptual color schemes indicate use of both
light and dark tones of yellow and a terra cotta color for the exterior building colors.

Applications: U-2006-02, ASA-2006-04. TR-2006-06, EA-2006-04
VaIleo Restaurants
Page 4
California Pizza Kitchen will have the more visibly prominent location of being situated
on the corner facing both Stevens Creek Blvd. and N. Wolfe Road.
Islands' Restaurant is. proposing a one-story, 30 foot high building that emphasizes a
vertical profile with hipped roof elements anchoring the ends of the building. The
exterior materials consist of a stucco exterior and clay tile roofing over the hipped roof
elements. The conceptual color schemes indicate wool, tan, and terra cotta colors.
The City's Architectural Advisor, Larry Cannon, has reviewed the plans and makes the
following comments as shown on the enclosed drawings. In summary, his comments
relate to:
1. The large disparity in scale of the buildings
2. Confusing double entries to California Pizza Kitchen along the north elevation
3. Consider rotating the buildings to create a larger common walkway area
between the buildings
Parking
The proposed project is part of the overall master development plan for Valko Fashion
Park and is considered a part of the retail/ commercial component of the mall.
Therefore, the proposed restaurants are not required to provide separate parking. The
overall parking plan for the mall proposes a total of 5,702 parking spaces, which is
inclusive of the restaurants and build out of the mall per the master development plan.
The number of parking spaces required for the master development plan is 5,564
spaces. Therefore, the proposed parking will exceed the required number of parking
spaces for the mall.
Although the restaurants are not required to provide parking separately for the project,
the applicant is reconfiguring the adjacent parking lot to maximize the number of close-
by parking spaces, and has reconfigured the parking to provide the approximate
number of parking spaces that would have been required for the restaurants at a ratio
of 1 parking space for each 3 seats, if separate parking were required. While these
parking spaces are being provided for the convenience of the restaurants, these spaces
are not for the exclusive use of the restaurants and are part of the shared overall
parking for the mall.
Tree Removal PlarýConceptual Landscape Plan
The proposed project intends to remove a total of nine trees, including four pine trees
and five carob trees. These trees are currently within landscape islands in the interior
parking lot area behind the proposed restaurants. The applicant is requesting removal
of these trees to modify the parking lot area.
The conceptual landscape plan illustrates that landscaping will be provided in the
reconfigured parking area, replacing existing trees to be removed, and also surrounding
the restaurant buildings. Although the landscape plan does not indicate type and size
c:u:> - ~ c.r
Applications: U-2006-02. ASA-2006-04. TR-2006-06, EA-2006-04

Page 5
of landscaping to be planted, the plan indicates that the frontage of the site facing
Stevens Creek Blvd. will be enhanced with additional landscaping behind the
landscaped parkway. The conceptual landscape plan also shows landscaping alongside
the common walkway between the two buildings and along the building frontage
facing the parking lot area.
Sidewalk
The existing streetscape along Stevens Creek Blvd. in front of the project site consists of
a curbside sidewalk along Stevens Creek Blvd. that is adjacent to a landscaped
parkway. The landscaped parkway consists of a double row of mature ash trees
planted in rows. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to provide an
improved streetscape that would locate the sidewalk away from the curbside and install
it between the two rows of mature ash trees. This would provide a consistent transition
between the streetscapes along Stevens Creek Blvd. and Wolfe Road, and would also
match the improvements along Stevens Creek Blvd. across the street one block to the
east in front of the Menlo Equities project site.
Along the Wolfe Road frontage, the streetscape is improved with a sidewalk located
between two landscaped parkways, one of which is adjacent to the street curb. Each of
the landscaped parkways consists of a row of mature ash trees that have been planted
in rows.
Signage
The signage that is shown on the elevations is not a part of this application package.
The signage is conceptual to demonstrate possible locations for the placement of
signage for the restaurants.
A condition of approval has been incorporated into the model resolutions that will
require the applicant to submit signage for review and approval by the City. The
signage shall comply with the sign program for the Valleo Fashion Park shopping
center.
Community Concerns
On March 7, 2006, the City received a letter (See Exhibit C) from Virginia Tamblyn
expressing concerns regarding the potential for parking, traffic and odor impacts as a
result of the restaurants. Ms. Tamblyn also requests that odor filtration equipment be
required of the restaurants to mitigate odor impacts. A condition of approval is
proposed to require odor abatement systems.
Environmental Review Committee (ERe)
At the March 8, 2006 ERC meeting, the ERC recommended the following:
1. A preliminary analysis of the traffic impacts of the proposed project shall be
required. The traffic analysis shall investigate the possibility of providing a bus
duck-out stop on the north side of Stevens Creek Blvd. in front of the project site
;LO-30
Applications: U-2006-02, ASA-2006-04. TR-2006-06, EA-2006-04

and promoting better pedestrian connections/walkability from the project site to
the surrounding neighborhood.
2. The Planning Commission shall review the number and location of trees for tree
replacements as a result of the proposed tree removals.
3. The applicant shall modify the design of the buildings to blend in wi£h the rest of
the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff is recommending changes to the proposed plans that are incorporated into the
model resolutions, as follows:
1. Require that the applicant submit revised plans to the Community Development
Department of the following modifications for review and approval by the
Director of Community Development and Architectural Advisor prior to
issuance of building permits:
a. Align the heights of the two buildings to mitigate the disparity in scale
between the two buildings.
b. Provide a proposal of final color schemes for both restaurants that show
consistency in colors between California Pizza Kitchen and Islands.
c. Provide outdoor seating along the N. Wolfe Road frontage.
d. Enhance the east elevation of California Pizza Kitchen to provide a
restaurant/ storefront appearance along the N. Wolfe Road frontage.
e. Provide some similar architectural elements on both buildings to provide
visual transitions between the buildings.
2. Require a detailed landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by the Director
of Community Development that shall also include additional landscaping
within the common walkway area between the two buildings to create a
"waiting garden" area.
3. Sidewalks shall be constructed between the trees at grade along Stevens Creek
Blvd. to minimize destruction of the tree roots. These improvements shall be
carried along the full frontage of Stevens Creek Blvd. to Perimeter Road from N.
Wolfe Road.

Subject: Vallco Restaurants

The main issue here seems to be the rather different scales of the two structures and their very close
proximityto each other. 1 don't have any way to suggest modifications to the architecture without
substantially altering the nature of the restaurants. You might try to see if the Islands structure could be
reduced in bulk and height some and to give it more of a horizontal profile. And, then perhaps some
more emphasis on a vertical element at the other restaurant's entry might make them better neighbors to
each other. In any event, I do not see the merits of rotating the two restuarants off of the street grid. I
also fmd the two entries at the CPK restaurant a bit confusing - seems to diminish the strength of the
common area between the restaurants.

.DETERM!NATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation the Environmental Review Committee (ERe) finds that:
ŒJ The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
0 Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have
been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATiON will be prepared.
0 The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
0 The proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at ieast one effect 1) has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
0 Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an
earlier E!R or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b)
have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project, nothing further is required.

DESCRIPTION;
U-2006-02, ASA-2006-04 (EA-2006-04)
Use permit to construct two restaurants on the
northwest comer of Stevens Creek Blvd and
N. Wolfe Road.
Members ofthe Planning Commission
I read with interest the Notice of Public Hearing regarding the application to construct
two restaurants on the comer of Wolfe and Stevens Creek. I have two concerns which
are as follows:
I. The traffic on that corner will be very heavy when the current approved
development is completed. The restaurants will have a negative
traffic impact upon that comer; plus the shopping center loses parking spaces.
2. Odor filtration equipment for restaurants should be required as part of the
permit process. The Market Place Shopping Center, across the street, is
installing such equipment in all restaurants. In the event that these
restaurants are approved, they should be required to install odor
filtration equipment.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Dear Council member,
>
>I think you have received my email because I got an email from our
Mayor.
>I guess I don't have a good camera and I thank you in advance for
taking the
>tirne to go there and look in person. I appreciate your taking our
concern
>seriously. However, before you make any decision, I have several
points to
>make:
>
>1. This is not a neighborhood park. In a park, we have 20 parking
spaces,
>100-200 people ( from the neighborhood ) and no people at night. with
new
>Vallco, AMC theater alone has 3500 seats. The parking garage alone has
>over 5000 parking spaces. I guess there will be at least 10,000
strangers
>attracted there, and it's open at late night.
>
>2. No law says that strangers (even criminals) can't stand, stretch,
wait and
>watch nearby neighborhoo! d when they are allowed to linger.
>
>3. As a highly civilized city, we do not trample on even one
>resident's privacy.
>No house should be offered to stangers to watch as they wish.
>
>4. No kid should be an easy prey to criminals.
>
>Our request is simple. In addition to landscaping, we hope the site
plan
>can be modified as follows:
>1. Move outside seats to the north side facing Sears and the mall
>2. For the area in between restaurants, make it a simple
>walking passage. No benches there to invite people, to gather there.
>
>I believe you will make a careful decision. I still have to attend 4/4
public
>hearing and present orally, because I promised.
>
>
>Sincerely yours,
>Ching Shyu
