Public Comment on Proposed In-N-Out Burger

I'm very much in favor of this. It's no secret that In-N-Out will bring a solid amount of tax dollars to a community due to it's popularity. The area's already zoned for commercial, and it makes a lot of sense to let that location bring revenue back in to the community, rather than sitting vacant and unused.

This is a perfect location for a popular food chain. The area is already zoned as a commercial area and traffic won't be significantly impacted from one more store. Yes, the lines waiting for in-n-out can be very long, but they are encapsulated inside their parking lot. Part of the planning process should be to allow for an ample size parking lot for the lines of cars, and only allow entry/exit from Almarida Drive. The property is very large and should be able to handle the drive-thru line, if built properly.

I think In-and-Out would be a great addition to Campbell however there needs to be a good traffic plan and this area has significant backups and the additional traffic could be a problem. Entry and exit to the property must be designed properly.

This is a great thing, there are not many of these, so anytime they add one closer, it makes it a much easier decision to visit.

A successful resaurant is looking to replace a failed one, great! Yes, I am familar with the problems of locating an In-N-Out in too small a location, look at the location in Mountain View on El Camino. Proposed site is much larger than even the Airport location.

I am not an expert on traffic flow, I have confidence in the people that are, City's Planning Department who will conduct a thorough review of the proposed restaurant, including analyzing potential traffic, parking, circulation, public safety, noise, lighting, odor, and air quality impacts. Let us wait for the study to be completed before rejecting it out of traffic fears.

In-N-Out pays their workers above minimum wage, and should be a welcome edition to Campbell.

The proposal should be given a fair review. Nothing motivates people like anger and oppression to something... Most people will state that In N Out will significantly increase traffic but my guess is that the affect will be insignificant.

If people would realize that they get a dedicated lane coming off of HWY 17 towards the proposed In N Out then the current backup would be significantly reduced right now.

This has the potential to be a "win-win".

I LOVE this idea:grinning:!!!
I travel way tooo far to get my In "n" out burger and I always wondered why there wasn't one in this area, so yes please build it and I will come often.

I would love to have an In N Out in Campbell. It's a perfect spot with a large lot that can fit lots of parking and a drive-thru line

Would love having one close by, and it's sad that this site has been poorly used for so long. Campbell deserved an INO!

I couldn't be more in favor of this. In-N-Out is a California institution and the southwest South Bay is sorely lacking in an In-N-Out location. While not a Campbell resident, I live off of Bascom near Hamilton, about 1.5 miles from the location. I do agree with some other comments that talk about the potential traffic impact, seeing as that area is already prone to issues. But from my observations, the traffic is only really bad around peak commute times, which don't actually match up with peak times for In-N-Out. I think this would be a fantastic use of the location and I'm already looking forward to it.

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 believe this would be a great addition to the neighborhood and fully support it.

I am in support of In and Out going in at the old Elephant Bar location. I am in the real estate business and transacting on several QSRs each year you get use to seeing great, good and poor locations. This fits in the great category. Not only is the property located near the freeway and in a retail corridor the parcel, if designed correctly will allow a very smooth traffic flow. The parcel (which is over sized for typical IAO locations) will allow stack up and ingress/egress on site vs. on the street. Even if there is an issue during the soft and hard opening any problems won't last.
Let's not forget this is where we as local citizens want traffic. Dead on a heavily traffic retail corridor near good access to other faster surface roads such as HWY 17 and Bascom Ave. Which will keep the cars off of the local residential streets.
Everyone I talk to in my business support the location and agree the location makes total sense.
It will also help our schools and local tax revenues.
