David Chan, Applicant:
• Said that they were requesting extended hours for the weekend in order to better serve their
customers.
Chair Miller opened the public hearing; as no one was present who wished to speak, the public
hearing was closed.
Vice Chair Sun:
• Clarified that when a similar request from Island Restaurant for extended hours was recently
presented he voted No; the Island Restaurant was isolated from the parking lot and was close
to DeAnza College; today’s application is enclosed in a shopping plaza. Generally the
business hours are supported until midnight, which is a critical time when most of the
businesses should be finished. After midnight the patrons diminish dramatically but the
danger of public safety is increased. He said he supported the business and the extended
hours.
Motion: Motion by Com. Lee, second by Com. Brownley, and unanimously carried
5-0-0 to approve Application U-2011-12

second-story addition. Planning Commission decision
final unless appealed.
Aparna Ankola, Planning Intern, presented the staff report:
• Reviewed the application for Use Permit to allow a new 206 square foot second story addition,
to a single-story residence located in a R1-6i zoning district, as outlined in the staff report.
The project also includes reproofing the existing home and a new entry trellis feature.
• Staff supports the project as it is modest in size and is compatible with the mass and bulk of
the existing neighborhood.
• Staff recommends approval of the use permit and minor residential permit per the model
resolution.
Rajiv Deshmukh, Applicant:
• Briefly discussed the plans for the second story addition. He said that he spoke to his
neighbors on both sides and they supported the project.
