I support In-N-Outs proposal. I think it would be great to have an In-N-Out this close.

As a Campbell resident who lives behind that location I believe this is a terrible place for a drive-thru. Not only is the traffic too much on Hamilton and the interchange, but my family has experienced many times drivers leaving the lot across from the Elephant Bar seemingly oblivious to traffic as they turn left onto Almarida - as if they don't think anyone could be driving away from Hamilton. I shudder to imagine the impact of more bad drivers in that area

Traffic is already a major issue for that area. Currently, the congestion from the Highway 17 South off-ramp traffic combining with cars on Hamilton merging over into the right lane of Hamilton to turn onto Almarida is very bad. Add to that the holiday shopping gridlock from Fry's, Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Kohl's that occurs from the day after Thanksgiving until New Years and we have a massive problem on the surface streets and Highway 17. Adding a fast food restaurant at that site will make this worse; letting them have a drive through lane makes it intolerable. This is not a NIMBY complaint. The tangible impact on the residents in the neighborhood is unacceptable. This is a Campbell issue that also impacts those of us who live in the San Jose part of Hamann Park. Please do not allow this to go forward.

I see most In-N-Out locations appearing to be "In-and-In-and-In-and-In-and-In-and-finally-Out", both drive-thru and inside. Current traffic alone makes this NOT a location for one of these in my opinion. I see I'm listed as "outside City Boundary"; I guess San Jose folks don't have to shop in Campbell...

I support the Inn N Out proprosel. It provides jobs to young people that often are unable to find summer work or part time jobs. Inn N Out is a wonderful business that always succeeds and will bring further prosperity to the area.

I love In & Out Burgers. I eat at several of their restaurants on a regular basis, and would love to have one of their restaurants in our fair city. It's annoying to have to drive over to the airport for a good burger! However, I have serious doubts for the elephant bar property based on the small size of the property.

The In & Out at McCarthy Ranch has roughly 76 parking spaces, and many times during the lunch hour there are several cars queued up on McCarthy Blvd . just to get into the lot, and then we have had to park at adjoining businesses such as the hotel so we can go in the restaurant.

The In & Out on Newhall Dr. has 96 parking spaces, it gets very crowded, and we usually park by Lowes instead of waiting in line for a parking spot.

The In & Out in Sunnyvale on El Camino is even more problematic, as they have 86 parking spaces, parking as always fills up quickly, and there are no close business to park at. You have to park by the Dollar store and walk across Remington to get to the restaurant.

In conclusion, absolutely yes to our own In & Out Burger in Campbell, but the suggested property is too small and that corner is too congested already to have a line of cars waiting to park at the restaurant.

I love In-N-Out and would like one closer to home, but that is a HORRIBLE location for it. The traffic on Hamilton is extremely backed up during commute hours and a drive-thru would make it even worse. Please consider another type of restaurant that would not impact traffic so severely. Something healthy like a Veggie Grill or salad bar would be great!

For the love of God, no more crappy fast food places in Campbell! Can something healthy come to Campbell? A salad place, perhaps? Or a really nice upscale restaurant? Want a burger? There are several places that have opened in Campbell in the past 5 years for a burger. Aside from that, the traffic is horrible at that location and adding a restaurant with a drive thru there would be poor planning and would create safety issues on the road. No! No! No!

I'm not opposed to In-N-Out Burger coming to Campbell, but I am opposed to them operating in this location. The Hamilton exit off of Highway-17 is the gateway to our city. The increased. traffic count caused by In-N-Out and the poor ingress and egress to the site (located too close to the Hwy 17-off ramp) is sure to cause traffic jams. It will make the Hamilton thoroughfare difficult to navigate and cause back ups on the freeway exit.
In looking at the plans, it looks like with approximately 30 cars entering the drive thru, cars will back-up into Hamilton or if cars are backing out of spaces 57 thru 64, traffic will be waiting on Hamilton to turn in. This is congestion an already overwhelmed road way cannot handle.

While this location might be a good choice for In-N-out burger, it's a poor choice for the resident and business of Campbell. The traffic issues caused by In-N-Out will aggravate residents and create a hassle that will deter people from shopping and patronizing our other Campbell businesses.

Utter disappointment!! Still bummed Elephant Bar left. Why not bring something new to the area?? We do not need another fast food joint. A nice steak or seafood, or international cuisine.

In-N-Out?! You want a burger...get one across the street at the Home Depot diner.
