AGENDA DATE November 5. 2007
SUBJECT:
Conduct a six-month review of a temporary approval of the Modification to a
previou~ly-approved Use Permit (U-2004-04) allowing an opening time of 5:30 a.m. for
Peet's Coffee, and include a review of the Use Permit, Application No. M-2006-07,
Laura Thomas (Peet's Coffee), 20807 Stevens Creek Boulevard, APN 326-32-051.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council may take one of the following actions:
1. Deny renewal of the Modification to the previous Use Permit, requiring Peet's
Coffee to revert to opening no earlier than 7:00 a.m.; or
2. Uphold renewal of the Modification to the previous Use Permit, allowing Peet's
Coffee to continue opening at 5:30 a.m.
BACKGROUND:
On March 20, 2007, the City Council granted temporary approval of a Modification (M-
2006-07) to a previously-approved Use Permit On a 5-0 vote, allowing Peet's Coffee to
open at 5:30 a.m. until a six-month review of the permit could be conducted by the
Council. Additionally, the Council recommended that review of the original Use Permit
for the Peet's Coffee/Panera Bread Cafe building be conducted at the same time.
The Modification application was brought to the City Council for review as an appeal of
the Planning Commission's approval of the modification allowing Peet's Coffee to open
at 5:30 a.m. The appeal was filed by Council member Richard Lowenthal.
During the meeting, Council member Lowenthal explained the need for a pedestrian
connection between the Stevens Creek Office Center, that includes the Peet's
Coffee/Panera Bread Cafe, and the adjacent newly developed Whole Foods site to the
west, particularly since the Council had anticipated this connection by requiring Whole
Foods to construct its side of the pedestrian access on the northeast corner of the site.
Additionally, some of the Council members raised the issue of inadequate parking at
the Stevens Creek Office Center to accommodate Peet's Coffee/Panera Bread
customers. When these businesses first opened, customers were not aware that they
could park elsewhere m the office center parking lot, and as a result, began parking off-

site at the adjacent Bombay Oven Restaurant and across the street at the Target
shopping center. The City not only received complaints from the Bombay Oven
Restaurant; but also from customers who said that the parking was inadequate for these
businesses.
In late February, the office center placed directional signs in the parking lot to alleviate
the confusion and notify customers that additional parking was available in the office
center parking lot. These signs were installed as a condition of the Planning
Commission's. approval of the modification of the use permit. . However, since these
signs were placed on site just a few weeks prior to the Council meeting, the Council was
not able to determine the usefulness of these signs. As a result, the Council also voted to
conduct a review in six months of the original Use Permit that approved the Peet's
CoffeejPanera Bread building to discuss this issue and that would allow for the
Planning Commission to reopen the use permit at a public hearing and require permit
modifications to address parking problems if necessary (See Condition No.8 of Exhibit
A).
John Volkmann, one of the property owners of the Stevens Creek Office Center,
indicated that he did not support the pedestrian connection because the connection
would result in the loss of a parking space at the office center and would not be a safe
route to Whole Foods since it would require pedestrians to cross the loading dock area
of the Whole Foods site to enter to the grocery market. Additionally, Mr. Volkmann
indicated that owners of the parcel of the Stevens Creek Office Center who are affected
by the pedestrian connection are different than the owners of the Peet's Coffee and
Panera Bread site.
The City Council requested that this item be: brought back for review in six months to
allow the property owner, John Volkmann, to consult with the other co-owners of the
Stevens Creek Office Center on whether they would agree to construct the pedestrian
connection. The review of this application was delayed from occurring six months from
the March 20th meeting because the City was awaiting a response from the property
owners of the Stevens Creek Office Center on the pedestrian connection.
DISCUSSION:
Staff met with John Volkmann in early October who conveyed the property owners'
determination that they would not support construction of the pedestrian connection on
their property. Mr. Volkmann felt that the difference in walking distance from the mid-
point of the Stevens Creek Office Center to the Whole Foods entrance and from the
pedestrian connection to the Whole Foods entrance would be minimal.
Staff measured these distances and found that one walking distance route from a mid-
point along the west side of the Stevens Creek Office Center to the Whole Foods
entrance would be approximately 1,040 feet (See Route A on Exhibit B). Another access
route from a mid-point at the center of the office center to the Whole Foods entrance
15 - 2
Six month review ofM-2006-07
Page 3
November 5, 2007
would be approximately 990 feet (Route B). However, the walking distance from the
same west side starting point in Route A at the Stevens Creek Office Center to the
Whole Food entrance using the pedestrian connection would be approximately 460 feet
(Route C). Therefore, the difference in walking distance is significant. Staff believes the
pedestrian connection is important because it allows more interconnectivity between
the two properties that would alleviate the need to double the parking trips for
customers/ employees patronizing these two adjacent properties.
In response to the concern about pedestrian having to cross in front of the loading dock
area, staff would also like to emphasize that there is an additional pedestrian walkway
behind the Whole Foods building linking the pedestrian connection on the Whole Foods
site to Stevens Creek. Boulevard, thereby providing an alternative pedestrian route
(Route D) to the Whole Foods entrance without having to cross the loading dock area.
This walking distance route is approximately 915 feet, which is shorter than the existing
walking route between the properties. Also, customers routinely cross the area if they
park in the northerly most aisle and staff is not aware of any problems.
Regarding the parking issues, the Code Enforcement Division has not received any
complaints regarding parking at this location since the opening of these businesses.
Therefore, it appears that the parking issues have been resolved with the installation of
the directional signs.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff believes that the expanded early morning hours of operation are an intensification
of use on the property and contribute to the doubling of parking trips between the
adjacent properties without the pedestrian connection. The City Council has
consistently encouraged pedestrian connections between properties to facilitate walking
and bicycle use. For example, the Council required pedestrian connections at the.Public
Storage site on Valley Green Drive to connect to the adjacent office complex site, at the
Montebello condominium site to connect to the surrounding commercial developments
along De Anza Boulevard and Stevens Creek Boulevard, and at the Astoria
condominium site to connect Imperial A venue to Bubb Road. Therefore, staff
recommends that the City Council deny the renewal of the Modification application
that would require Peet's Coffee to open no earlier than 7:00 a.m., which is the City's
current allowable opening time for commercial businesses throughout the City.
However, staff does not recommend modifying the original Use Permit at this time
since the parking issue appears to have been resolved with the addition of the
directional parking signage.
If the City Council feels these issues are separate and chooses to allow' Peet's Coffee to
continue its early morning opening time without the pedestrian connection, the Council
could ask John Volkmann to sign a letter of intent to provide the connection in the event
he wishes to expand the office center in the future. .

16. Consider an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to modify the use permit for
Peet's Coffee to allow an opening time of 5:30 a.m., Application No. M-2006-07, Laura
Thomas (Peet's Coffee), 20807 Stevens Creek Blvd., APN 326-32-051. The appellant is
Council member Richard Lowenthal. (Continued from March 6).
Community Development Director Steve. P.iasecki highlighted the staff report VIa a.
PowerPoint Presentation.
Council member Richard Lowenthal explained that he had appealed this item because of
the issue of inadequate parking on the Peet's Coffee side. He said this is a good
opportunity for people to park once and shop twice, to allow pedestrian access between
Whole Foods and the Peet's Coffee/office center . parking lot. He also said he was
concerned about Peet's Coffee opening of 5:30 a.m. because it was an imposition on the
community including more traffic and noise early in the morning, and even more
crowding for that parking lot, particularly for the office users.
Mayor Wang opened the public hearing.
Ellen Sinnott, District Manager for Peet's Coffee, asked Council to address the hours of
operation for Peet's Coffee so that their permit is in compliance with the 5:30 a.m.
opening time, which is consistent with when their competition opens.
John Volckmannm, property manager, said he met with Mr. Lowenthal because he didn't
understand the connection between Peet's request to change the hours of operation and
creating a pedestrian access. He said that tenants wouldn't use the path because they
would have to cross a loading dock area with no sidewalk, and he was concerned about
skateboarders, etc. causing liability issues. He added that it would impact the office center
tenants to lose one of the parking spaces required in order to create the opening and he
wasn't in favor of creating the access.
Goeffrey Etnire, attorney for the Stevens Creek Office Center, distributed a letter
addressed to Council outlining his comments. He noted that the issue is the question of
whether there is a real nexus between Peet's opening at 5:30 a.m. and the pedestrian
access. He said that most pedestrians would use the Stevens Creek sidewalk. He urged
Council to deny the appeal.
Mayor Wang closed the public hearing.
LowenthaVKwok moved and seconded to grant a temporary use permit allowing Peet's
Coffee to open at 5:30 a.m. and to review the entire use permit in six months. The motion
carried unanimously.
Council was in recess from 9:32 p.m. to 9:39 p.m.

SUMMARY
AGENDA NO.
AGENDA DATE March 20. 2007
SUBJECT:
Consider an appeal of the Planning Corrunission's decision ~o modify the use permit for
Peet's Coffee to allow an opening time of 5:30 a.m., Application No. M-2006-07, Laura
Thomas (Peet's Coffee), 20807 Stevens Creek Boulevard, APN 326-32-051. The
appellant is Council member Richard Lowenthal.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council may take one of the following actions:
1. Uphold the appeal of M-2007-06 and deny the Planning. Commission's decision;
or
2. Uphold the appeal of M-2007-06 and modify the Planning Commission's
decision; or
3. Deny the appeal and uphold the Pfanning Commission's decision; or
4. Continue the appeal to the April 3, 2007City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
On January 9, 2007, the Planning Corrunission approved a modification to a use permit
to allow Peet's Coffee to. open at 5:30 a.m. Peet's Coffee is located in a building
constructed in 2005 that is shared with Panera Bread. The building is located on a parcel
on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, west of Saich Way, that is part of the
Stevens Creek Office Center. The Stevens Creek Office Center is also adjacent to the
Whole Foods supermarket that is being constructed along Stevens Creek Boulevard to
the west.
On January 16, 2007, Council member Richard Lowenthal appealed M-2006-07 stating
that the pedestrian circulation issue between the Stevens Creek Office Center and
Whole Foods needs to be resolved in conjunction with this application.
DISCUSSION:
When the adjacent Whole Foods project was approved by the City Council in January of
2006, the City Council required Whole Foods to incorporate a pedestrian access along
the northeast corner of the si~e to accommodate a future pedestrian connection between
the Whole Foods site and the Stevens Creek Office Center.

M-2006-07 Appeal
Page 2
March 20, 2007
Whole Foods is currently under construction and has nearly completed its portion of
the pedestrian connection with a concrete pathway that runs along the north side of the
Whole Foods building and steps down to a pad that is adjacent to the west side of the
Stevens Creek Office Center. Whole Foods will also be'installing a handicap lift to
aCcolTullOdate the grade differential between the pathway along the north side of the
building and the pad adjacent to the Stevens Creek Office Center property.
Council member Lowenthal is requesting that the Stevens Creek Office Center complete
the pedestrian connection between these two sites by installing' the improvements
needed on the Stevens Creek Office Center for the pedestrian pathway in conjunction
with the Peet's Coffee application.
Staff has 'reviewed trre possibility of incorporating these improvements that woUld ,
require a pedestrian 'opening between the two properties, installation of a concrete,
pedestrian ramp and walkway connecting from the pad landing on the Whole Foods
site to the west side of the Stevens Creek Office Center, and possibly handrails and a
switch back of the ramp. This would result in the loss of at least one, but possibly two,
parking spaces. If a slope of 1:20 can be achieved, then it appears a straight pedestrian: '
tainp'cartbe constructe'd on the Stevens Creek Office Center side from the Whole Foods
pad landing. If a 1:12 slope is required, then ~drails and a switchback. of the ramp '.
will be required, resulting in the loss of one additional space.
On March 14,2007, staff received comments from the property owner, JohriVolckmann
stating that he does not agree to the installation of the pedestrian connection and yvill be
attending tonight's meeting to speak about his concerns.

Planning Commission decision final unless

AId Honda Snelling presented the staff report:
· Reviewed the application for modification of an existing use permit for the Peet's Coffee
Stevens Creek location to open at 5:30 a.m. Staff supports the 5:30 a.m. opening time because
of its location, surrounded by commercial uses. The opening time permitted is 7 a.m. and the
applicant is requesting to open at 5 :30 a.m. to be consistent with other coffee shop opening
hours. Staff supports the 5:30 a.m. opening, and recommends that the property owner be
asked to put up additional directional parking signs as noted in the staff report.
· Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the use permit with the 5:30' a.m.
opening time with the additional condition read by staff.

January 9, 2007
Ellen Sinnet, Peet's Coffee and Tea:
. Said the objective of the application is to become compliant with the legal operating hours.
She said they were willing to comply with the property owner along with their construction
department to address the signage issue so that parking is clearly stated.
Com. Wong:
. Relative to the parking ratio that Panera Breads and Peet's has been successful with, he asked
staff to indicate on the aerial where they were directing the auxiliary parking.
AId Honda Snelling:
. lllustrated on the aerial that there was parking along side each building in the complex.
Com. Wong:
. Said he was concerned that the customers not be inconvenienced. He said he did not want to
tie the hours to Peer's Coffee, and suggested having the landlord address the issue on a
separate application and a hearing. He reiterated that he did not want to hold up Peet's Coffee
on their hours.
. Questioned if it could be conditioned that if it could not be resolved at the staff level, it be
brought back to the Planning Commission. He said he was not concerned. about the hours.
Ms. Wordell:
.~. She said that staff would research the issue since she did not recall if when the buildjng was
approved there was any knowledge of that' or any expectation that would be the case. It will
.'. .have ~o b~discussed with the property owner, ~so that peopl~ do n9t ]:lave to go to the.far
. comers of the development to park. - .'
. Suggested ~eay41g the condition stating tJ.lere . is a dll;-ectiQna~sign and hopefully it will b~
adequately resolved where the parking is ~thout corning back ,to; ,the Planning Commission. It
can be brought back to the Planning Commission if n.ece~sary.
Chair Miller:
. Said he recalled the meeting where the owner was present and he said that he owned the whole
section and would do whatever it took to make the parking work; and ifPeet's was having a
problem, he would make sure there were other areas of parking open.
. He said Com. Wong's point was well taken, and if there are reserved signs on that other space,
they need to be removed as part of the condition of approval.
Com. Saadati:
. Said that he was familiar with the area and has walked along the parking lot at 5 :45 a.m. when
there were very few cars parked ana. not many people in the building. However, he said in the
afternoon there are not many empty parking spots in the area.
. He suggested putting signage for Peer's Coffee parking, otherwise the office people park there
all day and there won't be any parking available. He said it was an item they needed to have
the owner's recommendation on; hopefully, in the future the signage and additional parking
will help resolve the issue.
. He said that there is no direction, and it is confusing.
. Supports the 5:30 a.m. opening time.
Com. Chien:P. Said he was not opposed to the 5:30 a.m. opening time, however, he expressed concem with
the condition regarding the directional signage. He said the project was approved before his
15 - 23
Planning Commission M tes

January 9, 2007
tenure on the Planning Commission, but he recalled hearing that the mayor- had an agreement
with the property owner to install directional signage.
. He said the conditions as they appear this evening, indicate that the responsibility falls on the
applicant Peefs Coffee. He said he would rather have that go back to the property owner and
have them keep their word on that.
Vice Chair Giefer:
. Not opposed to 5:30 a.m. opening time.
· Recalled the meeting that approval for the building they now occupy, and said those spaces on
this corridor were part of the parking calculation for the building. She pointed out that four
Commissioners that were part of the calculation were still on the Planning Commission. She
said that people could park where they wanted, since they would not get towed.
. She said that she wanted it fixed, and supported the directional sign because it would
encourage people to be more bold about parking where they want; but they should talk to the
property owner about removing the reserved parking signs. and putting in the directional signs,.
because ifPeet's Coffee puts up directional signs for Peefs, they are not going to put them up
for Panera Breads.
Ms. Wordell:
. Said the parking compliance would be a matter of enforcing the use permit for the original
building, that if they have altered it, then that is an issue as far as being in compliance with .
their use permit. . . .
. She said the directional sign is appropriate to tie to this. application since they have the '.
leverage for the sign. . ., ..
Vice Chair Giefer: . .
· Said she felt it serves Peet's Coffee; and would help them in their business situation to put the
directional signs in for their business. . ..'
. Said she agreed that the property owner should be brought back to the Planning Commission '.'
because they are in violation of their use permit because they do have reserved parking signs. ..; ,
Ms. Wordell:
. Suggested that they move fOlWard in that manner; through Code Enforcement talk to the
property owner about compliance, stating they need to comply within a certain period of time
and if they don't, they are subject to revocation.
. Sta~ ~ll report back to the Planning Commission.
Com. Wong:
· Expressed concern that it was a lengthy process of going through Code Enforcement. He said
he was inclined continue the application 'and have the landlord come before the Planning
Commission to straighten it out, since going through Code Enforcement adds more time. He
said he would like to have the problem fIxed in a timely manner.
Ciddy Wordell: .
· Said to the city attorney that she assumed there was nexus between the parking issue and this
application.

January 9, 2007
Eileen Murray, Assistant City Attorney:
. Said she felt the Planning Department could work faster and the item did not have to be
continued because of that. She said she felt a letter from the Planning Department on
revocation of a use pennit would get instant action.
Com. Wong:
. Relative to the sign, he asked if Peer's Coffee was responsible for the sign or the property
owner, since the model resolution is vague.
Ellen Sinnet:
. Said she understood that their construction department would be in touch with the landlord and
partner to make sure the signage was implemented. She said she was not opposed to incurring
the cost of the sign to get it fmalized, especially if they are not reserved parking places, so that
their customers have the autonomy to park wherever they want in that facility.
. She said she did not know if because they were not the property owner, if they had the
authority to remove the reserved signs. She said the construction department would address
the issue with the property owner.
Ms. Wordell:
. Said it was two separate issues; they will work with the property owner to get the directional
sign which will. not state anything about reserved spaces or. not, and they would work
separately with the property owner on enforcing their use permit relative to parking spaces.
. She said if the property owner did not comply, it would possibly take two months to schedule a
public hearing regarding the reserved spaces.
Com. Wong:
. Stated his concern to the city attorney, that if they go through the Planning Department. or.
Code Enforcement; it is to get their attention; and four commissioners recall that the propertY- ;
owner-said that he would comply and resolve the issue. He said there was'an underground-'
parking garage where office employees can park and the goal is to have successful retail and 'a
good interface. Presently it is miserable finding parking at Peet's Coffee and Panera Breads..
Eileen Murray:
. Said that the city looks at the use permit and sees what the' agreement was on parking and goes
to the property owner explaining the agreement, and stating they are in violation and will be
subject to some action.
. She said the city would not go out and remove the signs, and she did not think it would take
two months. She said it was not likely the property owner would come to the Planning
Commission, as the property owner would see the terms of the use permit and would likely
correct the issue.
Chair Miller:
. Questioned if they were within their rights as a Planning Commission to tie the two issues
together.
Eileen Murray:
. Said she felt they were not related; early hours for 20 customers is not related to the parking
shortage. The answer is that it is not legitimate and it appears to be a stretch.

Planning Commission N... 'Jes

January 9, 2007
. Said if the directional signs are necessary for additional parking and they are agreeable to
doing that, that is fme. She said she did not think they should tie this application to that; this
application is about extended early morning hours when there is no parking problem.
Chair Miller opened the public hearing; there was no one present who wished to speak.
Com. Saadati:
. Said he supported the 5:30 a.m. opening time ahd said that the parkirig issue could be
addressed through staff, and as per the attorney's statement, they are not related.
. Said the parking on the narrow strip should be made available; it is the property owner's
responsibility. .
Com. Chien:
. Said he supported the 5:30 a.m. opening time.
. Relative to the directional signage, he said he understand his colleagues' desire to have the
parking issue resolved expeditiously; however, as the applicant stated, they are going to go to
the property owner anyway, and through that process it doesn't guarantee that it is going to
move any faster because the property owner will likely stall as well. Furthermore, the city
attorney said there was no legal nexus and it is a far stretch for directional signage. He said
. while he would like to tie the two together, he did not think they should do that; the
responsibility falls on the property owner as they promised for quite a while now.
. Supports the application without the condition for the directi,onal signage.
Com. Wong:
. Supports the application for the 5:30 a.m. opening time.
. Supports staffs.recommendation regarding directional signage; and said he hoped that Peet's
Coffee would work with the property owner to resolve his concern about parking. He asked
that a sentence be added that if they cannot resolve it: at staff, level, staff bring it back to the
Plannin~ Commission.
Vice Chair Giefer: .
. Supports staff's recommendation of opening at 5:30 a.m. with the directional signage.
. She said it appeared that Peet's Coffee does not object to putting in the signs, and she felt it
serves their customers. She said she would also like to see some results on staff's side; she
said she was flexible with the push and pull regarding the property owner to solve the overall
parking issue that exists.'
Chair Miller:
. Supports the application. Said he hoped that staff moves quickly to address the parking issue;
it is more than taking reserved labels off the parking locations. As Com. Saadati suggested,
perhaps it is putting Peet's or Panera Breads labels on those locations so that more parking is
reserved for the businesses.
Ciddy Wordell:
. That is going beyond what can be asked given that it was left open as part of the use permit.
Chair Miller:
. He referred again to the owner stating at a meeting that he would make good on the parking
whatever it. took. He said this location is underparked; the space between the parking on one
side and the parking on the other side is substandard; and in general it is a problem; he
15 - 26
Planning Commission M ~es

January 9, 2007
promised us when we iiipproved the application that he would return to support our other
solutions if we had a problem. He said he was almost reluctant to approve the application
because if this is the leverage to do that, they should use that leverage despite the city attorney
recommending against it. .
Ciddy Wordell:
· Said she did not recall the exact condition of the use permit, but the Planning Commission
might need to invoke that condition if they determined that the parking problem has to be
readdressed and in fact bring them back for that.
Chair Miller:
. Suggested that they research exactly what was approved and what the conditions were, to
ensure that the Planning Commission is on firm ground.
. He said he specifically recalled the property owner making that commitment.
Ciddy Wordell:
. Suggested they follow through with the research, report back to the Planning Commission, and
if the Commission is ill a position to bring it back as a hearing item, staff can be directed to do
so.
Chair Miller:
· Summarized that they handle the parking by going to the original hearing for the original use
permit and moving forward in that manner. . .
Motion: Motion by Com. Chien, second by Com. Saadati, to approve Application
. M-2006-07, without the conditioJl that there be directional signage installed.
:....:
Com. Wong: .;
. Asked the Planning ~ommission for their opinion about the directional signage.
Vice Chair Giefer:
· Said she felt they needed the directional signage as a bandaid until the bigger issues are solved.
Chair Miller:
. Said he agreed.
Com. Saadati:
. Commented that the directional signage does not have to be permanent, it can be removable
and Peef s Coffee can have it up in the back, sinlilar to a real estate sign, and it would provide
direction for people on a temporary basis.
Vice Chair Giefer:
. Said the solution should be that the landlord put in additional signage that says there is parking
at Peet's Coffee and Panera Breads.
· She said three commissioners felt strongly that there needs to be something done immediately
to address the parking.
Com. Saadati:
· Said that staff will follow up, and if the landlord doesn't comply, the permit would be revoked.

Planning Commission 11.. .tes

January 9, 2007
Com. Chien:
. . Said they were discussing leverage and were always interested in how to get the' applicants to
comply. He pointed out that in the present case, the leverage is that the current property owner
is in violation of their agreement. He said they need to enforce that and make that happen;
which is the reason he does not support putting the responsibility on the tenant, but on the
property owner who made the original promise.
No friendly amendment was proposed.
(Vote: 2-3-0; Motion failed; Chair Miller, Com. Wong and Vice Chair Giefer voted No.).
Motion: Motion by Vice Chair Giefer, second by Com. Wong, to approve Application
M-2006-07 with the directional signs. (Vote: 4-1-0, Com. .Chien voted No. He
. said he supported the 5:30 a.m. opening time; however didn't see the legal nexus
between the signage and the opening time.)
Eileen Murray:
. Asked if the directional signs were going to direct Panera Breads and Peet's Coffee customers
into spaces that are now marked reserved. It is not known what arrangements the landlord has
made with other tenants, whether or not they are paying for reserved parking; and. where are
the directional signs to recommend where the people park until the Planning Department
reviews the use permit.
Ciddy Wordell:
. Said the.intent is that it is open parking; and it would state that additional parking is available.
The wording is in the condition; it is just available parking to the west.
Eileen Murray:
. Said she did not want to burden this applicant with that kind of competition or problem with
other tenants on that property owner's property, where the property owner is actually
responsible for abiding by the use permit. She said to put the tenants in competition or conflict
might be a mistake.
Chair Miller:
· Said at this point there are some spaces designated reserved and they are not being' changed;
they state there is further parking in this direction. There are some spaces that say reserved
and some that don't say reserved. He said he was uncertain if there was any difference from
the current situation.
Eileen Murray:
. Asked where the directional signs were directing people to park; what is the pmposal?
Chair Miller:
. Apparently it is just a general directional sign, they are not specific.
Com. Wong:
· Asked staff if the landlord could return under Old Business within 30 days or was a motion
needed.

Environmental Assessment: Categorica.ny Exempt
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Laura TOlnas of Peet's Coffee and Tea, is requesting approval to modify an
. existing use permit (U~2004-04) to allow Peet's Coffee & Tea shop located at 20807
Stevens Creek Boulevard to begin its hours of operation at 5:30 a.m. Feet's Coffee & Tea
is located in a building constructed in 2005 that is shared with Panera Bread and is
located along the north side of Stevens Cre~k Boulevard, west of Saich Way. It is
surrounded by a business office complex to the north and west, a restaurant to th~ east
and commercial uses to the f?outh across StevenS Creek" Boulevard. There are no
residential uses surrounding this site.
The applicant was requested by. the Plarming Department to submit applications to
extend hours for both of the Peet's Coffee & Tea shop locations in Cupertino after staff
15 .. 29
M-2006-06
Page 2
January 9, 2007
became aware in October during the hearings for a Starbucks coffee shop that both of the
Peet's Coffee & Tea shop locations were operating earlier than the allowable 7 a.m:
DISCUSSION:
Peet's Coffee & Tea shop is requesting approval to operate between the hoUrs of 5:30 a.m.
and 11 p.m. daily. Allowed hours are 7 a.m. to 1,1 p.m., so only the earlier opening time
requires approval.
The request is consistent with the proposed morning opening time of the other Peet's
Coffee & Tea location on Homestead Road and with other coffee shop locations
throughout the City that have been granted early opening times. Starbucks was granted
5:00 a.m. opening times for its locationS on the corner of Stevens Creek and De Anza
Boulevards and on the comer of Homestead and Wolfe Roads, which are in similar
commercial locations like this Peet's Coffee & Tea shop.
Peet's has already been opening at this time and wishes' to continue with these hours.
Cupertino's Code Enforcement Division is not aware of any complaints related to its early
morning hours at either of its Cupertino locations.
Staff Recommendation
Staff supports the proposed application, but recommends that a condition of approval be
. added to address the confusion over allowable parkiIlg areas for both th~ Peet's Coffe'e
and Panera Bread tenants. When this building was approved, the approval allowed for'
shared parking between the adjacent office complex to the north ~d west and the Peet' ~
Coffee/Panera Bread building. Since the ,opening of these businesses in 2005, staff has
received complaints from customers about the parking situation for this building. '
Additionally, some City Council members also expressed. their concerns about the '
parking confusion. Apparently, customers were not aware that they could park in the
adjacent office complex behind the building and, instead, were parking on' adjacent
properties. As a result, staff contacted the property owner a number of times requesting
that directional signs be placed in the parking lot behind the building to notify customers
where they could park. However, this has not yet been accomplished. Therefore, staff
recommends adding the following condition of approval to require directional signs:
"Within 30 days of this approval, the applicant shall install directional signage in the pal'king lot
behind the Peet's CoffeejPanem Bread 'building and in the Peet's Coffee shop informing customel'S
that additional parJdng is available in the adjacent office com.plex to the rear and to the .west."
