would meet all the city�s minimum requirements.
The Planning Director said we would need to go into
this matter, get s�me maps of the subject area and
ma�:e a s'�etch for a possibl.e extension. He proposed
� that this matter be postponed.to the following regular
meeting. Ordinances do not require a public hearing for this
but the Comr,lission may decide to have one.
Chairman Gates feels a public hearing should be held
in a request for abandonment of an entire lot which
would be split into two lots".
The City At�;orney' said until a petition is filed for
an appeal,' there should be a public hearing on this.

Mr. P. F. Forderer v��.s present and submitted a sketch of
the proposed'lar.dscaping plans for this property, indi-
cating they Ulould plant appropriate shrubbery outside
the fence, which would r1a�Le an attractive appearance.
It was further explained that this is a dead-end street
tempo.rarily only.

Mr. Mittleman said i,hey nave chan�ed.the type of
project Urhich they had ori�;inally requested (about a
year a�o) �rom apartment rental type to single-family
residences. They pro�ose- to bu�i�d and sell sin�le
family units in the u0 ac� es 9 and. the b�.l�:nce of the
land will be fept in reserve. High-rise buildin�s
and condorninium hornes will be proposed in the higher
density area in the fu��zre. This particu.lar site
plan was presented to and revieived by Dir. of Public
Wo�'_cs and Dir. oi Plann� ng before �oin�, into design.
Applic�nt realizes any �echnical problems t�r711.have
to be solved be�'ore further studies will be made.
They iTil.l a;ree to d�.�scuss these a� �, furtl�er study -
session, or a joint study ti�riLli the City Co�zricil, but
feel this 1s the tirne �.o be 1leard by the public, and
to answer.any questions.
Chairman Ga�teS cornmented that a PC-H zonin� had been
requested on this par�icular develapment over a.year
a�o, and plans had been submitted. Chairman Gates
explained i,hat in zreas for residential use there is
an overall avera�e dens�.�cy of 1:6 dwe111ng units� per
�ross acre. This woulc� en�!ble the_developer to have
R1C zonin� on a major pori,ion an.d hi�h-rise apart- .
ments on a.smaller portion.

-�--- open space which wou�d be accessible to people living in
the area. A minimum of 5 acres is allowed for this type
of developmen�, and the total density cannot exceed den-
sity of an R-1 zonzng� however, there are certain con-
ditions u�der wh �ch we n1i_ght modify the density if this
would contribute toT�,rard �he improvement of the develop-
ment. In a Cluster Development, ro��rs of attached rouses
shall be interrupted not more than 300 feet apart, win-
dowless walls to insure privacy shall be indicated on
the development plan, and areas adjoining R-1 zones shall
be developed compatyble with adjoining homes in R-1 zone.
Side yards shall be adequate, but the developer can pro-
pose adjustments. Public utilities shall be placed under-
ground. These, briefly are the highlights of the
Cluster Ordinance, and we want to leave the applicant
with some idea of what our eoncepts are for the property,
for which the deve].oper can aim..
Comr.i. Trauemer feels there should be more schematics
submitted by the applicant for a study session.
The Planning Director wi.shed to call two special points
to the attention of the developer: (l� it should be
noted that the PC-H zoried development would be divided
into one major part wi�th R1C use and one smaller part,
in which high-rise apartments may be proposed. Provided
that the density of the latter part is not made unduly
high, it may be impossible to reach the overall density
of 16 dwelling units per net acre allowed in a PC-H zonei
and (2) that the street plan should allow the differ-
entiation between Mary Avenue as a through street, and
local streets for internal traffic only. The Planning
Commission may recommend and the City Council approve
(with u votes out of 5), narrower local streets.
Comm. Frolich was puzzled as to w�at would be gained by
a study session - our only concern is that PC-H Ordinance
requirements are followed. The applicant should work
out the details in agreer�ent wi.th the staff, and a second
hearing shoula be reld �t the rext regular meeting.
Comm. Trauemer noted that particular attent�on should be
paid to zngress and egress out of the cul-de-sacs.
Chairman Gates recapped the obvious planning aspects -
adjacent to the freeway, another major thorofare, and to
a park, and added that one point we must pay particular

attent�on to is that backs of houses are unattractive -
they should turn the front or the side �owards the
arterial stre�t.
The Planning Director discussed NIa.ry Avenue, which
should have four moving lanes, left turn lanes, and
lanes for emergency parking - with foot patn or side-
walk on one side only. At intersections with one left
turn lane, 80' width is needed. If the number of inter-
sections were restricted, the curvature of Mary Avenue
could be used to narrow the street between intersections.
_ Moved by Comm. Traeurner, seconded by Comm. Johnson that
public hearings be closed.
Motion carried, �+-0
Chairman Gates said.there are no substantial objections
to the general concept presented. I�1any specifics will
� have to be worked out 3.n accordance to the C.luster
�. . Ordinance - we can by that determ how good this
Ordinance is. �
Mr. Mittleman feels �he pro,visions of the Planning Com-
mission are somewhat�involved. The developers have
already spent a lot of time and money to work out this
� particular plan, and befQre they can do any specific
planning of Mary Avenue, they would have to know the
factors.irivolved. Discussion about details may stretch
out the proceedings immensely. Could we proceed from
this point wit�. the Planning Director and then come back
to the Planning Commission with the Tentative Map?
,.. Chairman Gates inquired if this was a rezoning application
now. The City Attorney said that a public hearing is
necessary for a PC-H Ordinance for a different use than
was originally approved. In the original interpretation,
therefore, this is in effect an amendment to the Re-
zon�ng Ordinance. The issuance of a Use Permit is the
original'reqtzest in this application. It is material
. change,.and to protect them and the City, they should
- be given a second hearing at the next or a further post-
poned meeting. Do "clus�erizing" then and 'get rid of
- th� bugs.'. This would mear. that the staff could have
. recomm�ndations brought up at the next meeting - and it
can then go to the City Council. Suggest they incor-
porate t�.e.Use Permit wi�h this change in the nature of
the Use. Comm. Frolich agreed that this was the intent
when the PC-H Ordinance was developed. _
., �
Comm. Frolich.questioned whether the applicant is willi��.
to spend the,money until he actually has the change in ;�'
the Use Permi�, and whether the Commission would be
satisfied with what has been presented in fulfillment
of PC-H O.rdinance requirements.

PC-R9 Minutes of. the Re�;ular i�ieeting oi the Planning C�mmission,
' May 2� 1g65
The City Attorney answered that the �'lanning Commission
�,ars approve the change, and recommend an amendment to
___- the Council.
The Planning Director st�.ted that actually this appli-
cation is for an R1C use withi-n a PC-H zone. In order
�� to��grant a"Us'e �'ermit we must have more elaborate
' plans - b,oth regarding traffic and to show conformance
�ith the Ordinances for tYie particular use within the
PC-H zone.
The City Attorney said it appears it is a material change
in the zoriing, and the developer should be required to
give the City up-.to-date information as to what they
plan to do.
Mr. Mittleman answe�ed that their �Use Permit application
was for a PC-H zone, and this particular plan would
actually achieve this, when updated. Certain technical
matters were.pursued. Question is, could they, without
complications, pursue tnis under the PC-H Ordinance,
since_they have done their planriing on this Ordinance and
are not asking for another zoning.
Comm. Frolich sta�;ed that the of the Planning
-- 4 � Comrnission when the`PC-H Ordiriance.was adopted was that
a Use Permit should be relatively easy to get - pro-
viding that the propos�als made at the tim.e of rezoning
have not been serio:usly altered - i.e. substitution of
a 3-story factory bui�.ding for a single family dwelling.
Chairman Gates r�m�arked that this reflects our inter-
pretation of the Cluster Ordinance, and quoted from
� Section �+2 of the Cluster Ordinance � a� follows : "In
the event that the applican� shall desire to make any
. change alteration or amendment in the approved Develop-
ment Plan after a Cluster Zone has been granted by the
City Council, a written request and a revised Develop-
"ment Plan shall.be su�mitted to the Ci'ty Planner ....
and if changes are material, but the requirements in
the Zoning Ordinance and previously imposed conditions
are.s'till adhered to, and the: number of dwelling units
' 'is not increased, the City Planner shall submit the
change to the Planning Commission .... a change in the
_ -Development Plan, inclu�.inb change of requirements or
. - conditions, or an increase of'the number of dwelling
units, sha11 be'proeessed as a, zone change."
� Comm, Frolich replied that actually thi.s application is
not for zoning under tYie Cluster Ordinance, but a
cluster uSe under the.PC-H..Ordin�n,ce.
- --_ _,___ , .
- - The City At�orriey asked if br.ingin� the plan up-to-date
is agreeable to the Planning Commission, then we could
propose an amendment to the Ordinance and present it to

----------------------------------------------------------------------- t�.
the City Council fc� adoption - and in the same ��
resolution issue the lise Permit subject to
clearance from the City Council, we would not
have to have a hearing on this.
To Chairman Gates' question as to whether this was
not a material charge, Comm. Frolich pointed out this
is just as big a change as from R-1 to R-3, or to an
office building, or to industrial park> Because it
is a desirable change in most minds doesn't reduce
its signi�ican�e as a change in use. Under any other
circumstances, a public rearing would be required as
a matter of principle.
Comm. Traeumer pointed out that if this particular par-
cel has been materially changed from the original de-
velopment plan, another �lan is needed which can be
approved by the Planning Department.
The Planning Director stated this is definitely a material
change from the original zoning, and the only way we can
control it is through a development plan as a condition
to a Use Permit. The Planning Commission recommends to
�he City Council on Use Permits in a PC-H zone, and the
Council makes the final decision.
The hearing on this item will be continued during the
next meeting of the Planning Commission.
D. MASON ENTE�PRISES; Application for Rezoning of 12
��, Z_� 5 acres from R-l:B-2 to R1.C, to allow 7-10 dwelling
units per acre, between Blaney Ave. and Portal Ave<,
north of Stevens Creek Blvd. First Hearing.
Mr. O.D.Mason, �60 Camden Ave., Campbell, represented
Mason Enterprises, and presented maps. Mr. Mason ex-
plained the.Planning Commission has been familiar
with this property for over a year. Mason Enterprises
drew up a map for a park at that time, in a location
where the Plannin� Commission wanted it.. In the mean-
time, the City has negotiated with Torres Co. to change
the location of the par?�. Mr. Mason said they are not
going to spend any rr:ore money drawing maps until the
City has decided where tne park is going to be.
The City Attorney replied that the matter before us to-
ni�ht is that Mason Enterprises wants to zone a certain
area of lanci to R1C. The northeast corner of the area
- is zoned for a park, but a proposal is before the City
Council on June 7 to rearrange �;he same 5 acres so the
park would face Portal Avee in order to separate areas
with different uses.
Chairman Gates recommended this matter be postponed ��`"�'
until after the City Council meeting. The Planning
Director said this First Hearing was put on the

Origin�.11y, this project included �.n area zoned R-3,
t,rhich allowecl a�vera�ir_� of density, but it seems at the

This mear_s overall .�-1 cens�ty unless tlze Planning Com-
mission and i.he City Council see f�t to apply Sec.2�- of
the Cluster Crdinance (NTodificat�ons of I�ensity), which
perhaps could be �one by reference to the General Plan,
which indicates 7.3 to 10.0 dwelling units per acre.
The City Attorney sugges�ed thys matter be tabled until
the next meeting to save Mr. Mason from re-applying.
He is as��in�; for certain zonin� on land which is not
at �ainable, ancl we should wait until we ?�no�r what we are
tal'.>ing about .
Comm. Frolich fel�� that because we don't '�now the shape
or location of the par'_L, at lea.st part of �y7hat is said
toni�ht in answer to questions might turn out to be a
waste of time. It would be better to postpone this

Mr. Mason said they are trying to get soraething done.
He is about to the end of the line in spending money -
he would l� ke to as':. the City to ma��e a decision.

Mr. George Somps, Civi.l Engi.neer of 1130 Evelyn Way,

Mr. Somps revaewed the Tenta.tive Map with the Com-

�the prelimi:nary grading plan - w�th spl't-level

attraet.ivenes:s of the area:. He �greed with the citi-
zens' concern w�_th the traff�.c problem., but feels in
the future there w:ill be other accesses to the area.
In reply to Chairman Gat�s' request for comments or
questlons from the Commission, Comm. Frolich a.sked hat
the applicant p�oposes to do about the P.G.8c E. po r
lines.
' Mr.'Somps said that in order to utilize the property
they'have proposed a 60`' street plus two 30' set-
backs"in the 120' r�ght-of-way of the power 1�_ne.
Comm. Trauemer pointed out th�t the proposed R-3-H
alon� Foothill Blvd is bounded north by R-2-H,
south by R-3-H.
The�-'PZ�.nnin�• Dir.ec�tor • . recommended that the
entire area Ue zoned R-1 '(75C0 sq. ft.. 1ots, which is
the normal zoning in Cupertino). It is poor planning
to have lots with d�rect access to a major highway.
Also the:State Division of Highways needs more time
for their cor.s�derat�.on. A second hearing would be
advisable.
Quest�_oned by Comm. Frolich, the Planning Director
said when the proposed two accesses from both north
and south are completed these should be satisfactory
for the area.
The Dir. of Public Wor�ts said from the engineering
standpoint this usage is satisfactory. He would
like to review the grading plan further....
In comments from the audience, Mr. Brainerd Plehn .
of 10538 Chace Drive, said the developer had made no
provision for access out of the development other "�
than Chace Drive or Starling Drive to the main access \l ''°`�r
on Foothill Blvd. - which would create a traffic
problem.

• PC-R�� Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Plannir.g Commi_ssion,
May 2�+, 1�.65 ,
Mr. Walter Ainsworth, of 1062; Ainsworth Drive, repre-
-��- senting the Creston Improvement Assoc„ asked Chairman
Gates to read the letter from the�Associat�on which had
been delivered to the Comm�ssion. Th�s letter poirited
out that the developers would be destroying the beauti-
ful oa'� trees in the area proposed for the apartment
houses, and thus spoil a very scenic spot, These pro-
posed apartments .would also lower the value of their
homes, and would crea�e a bigger vacancy factor in apart-
ments than the 30-40� which now exists in Cupertino.
F�urther, the proposed development�together with 14�5
homes on Creston, 46 on.Rivercrest and 8 on Pringlewood
,would have to use �Starling Drive.
Mr. Somps said that he can appreciate the traffic prob-
lem brought out by.Mr. Ainsworth, but it is not an in-
soluble problem, and the Creston Improvement Association
could go a. lor.� way to help rectify the traffic situation
. and tY�ey also hope to have the assistance of the City in
solvi�ng the problem. The �evelopers are also concerned
about preservation of material beauty and they do not
� plaM to purposely mar thiS.
_ Comm. Frolich pointed out that there is a 120' wic�e
,overhead ea.sement at Y.G.& E. power lines on Alpine Drive,
- could a 50� right-of-way be brought up for a possible

would like to divide into two lots. One lot size
would be �000 sq. ft., which she proposes to sell,
and the other lot, on which her house sets, would be
1�-, 000 sq . ft .
Chairman Gates questioned whether a home can be put
on this 8000 sq. ft. lot. Would it require a variance?
The Director of Plarining reported that a communication
has since been received from the Cupertino Sanitary
District, stating that only Lot #1 can be served by
the existing sanitary sewer on Carmen Road. There is
no sanitary sewer on Scenic Blvd. which could serve
any of the b�la.nce of this property, and it would be
necessary to retain the septic tank on lot #2. They,
therefore, recommend that the County Health Department
be contacted prior to the issuance of any building
permit on the balance of the property.
The Dir. of Public Wor'_�s said two things have come to
the attention of the engineering department - 1) re-
garding the 10 ft. strip to be�dedicated on Scenic
Blvd. - what is the conf iguration of the nearby
intersection? Perhaps it would be unwise to take
dedication at this time. 2� I#' Scenic Blvdo should
be widened an additional 1_0' on the south side, then
the additional 10' would further deduct from the
_. 8000 sq. ft. of lot ,�1, and would need more improve-
ments. If Scenic Blvd. is not to be widened, then
we have a good portion of land that has to be given
back some time. Plans should be considered thoroughly.
Comm. Trauemer said this seems to be an example of
spot zoning. When some one comes in for spot-type
zoning they should show wha�t �hey plan to do with
the rest of the property - in this case, it might
have some bearing on the dedication portion.
. Moved by Comm. Trauemer, seconded by Comrn. Frolich,
� that first hea.ring be closed.
Motion carried, �-0
Chairman GateS instructed the staff or the applicant
to furnish some indication as to what will be done
with the adjacent property, for the next regular
meeting. Mr. Provence said tha.t since this ma.p was
drawn, the adjacent lot has been sold.

9 -TM-65 G. CPM DEVELOPERS: Application for Tentative Map,
5 acres at east end of Riverside Drive, ad�oining
Deep Cliffe Golf Course (De Anza Verdes). First
Hearing.
Chairman Gates recapped the meeting minutes of March 8,
which was the last time Commiss:Lon toolc action on this
property. At this time, the applicant came in for a
Variance for single-fam:tly cluster, without increasing
density. Clustering according to a development plan was
granted at that time. This application is now clearly
a major departure from that development plan. Is that
property now zoned R-1?
The Planning Director said this is noti�a �oned R-1, The
present application, if granted, would r.evoke the
Var:iance application. Applicant wants to keep variance
� open for some time
Chairman Gates asked whether we should revoke the
Variance - has the developer kept the same building
envelope on the outside?
Mr. George Somps, representing CPM Developers, presented
a development plan in add�ition to the revised Tentative
Map, and requested that they kvuld want the same
variance as previously in order to be permitted to use
the same type of plan, The subdivision has been changed
only in lots 9, l�, 15 16, 17, and the number of dwel-
ling units has been decreased from 20 to 17.
The City Attorney commented that this Variance was
created on Tiarch 8th - now the developer wants another
variance as a part of the revised Tenta�ive Map. Does
he need another variance for R-1 zoning`? Is this or is
it not a ma,�or change? If he has complied substantially
with the previous variance, tr.e onl.y problem is the
Tentative Map which he is submitting to us. Is there a
requirement that there be a public hearin� on the map?
Comm� Frolich asked if a 37' street required a Variance
or an exception, or if it could be done at all.
There was considerable discussion whether the exceptions
- from normal R-1 standards in the now presented develop-
� � ment plan should be considered granted by the previous

The City Attorney added that the only way you can get
37' street widths is by �-/5 vote of the City Council,
applying Section l� (Exceptions) of the Subdivision
Ordinance.. The developer should file an application
with the Planni.rig Cominission, and in the transmittal
letter dpply the exception clause for a 37' street.
