Sears Roebuck and Co�paa�y: Use Pernsit for a retail store legend and �ervice station within a Ylanned Development (P) zone. Approximately 17 acres, located NW corner of Steve�as Creek Boulevard and Wolfe Road. First H�earing. Mr. Robert Owens, representing the �gplicaat, asked that approval be considered for the submitted plot plan for the locations of the buildings present- and the automotive service center. Mr< Owens further stated that, as soon �at�on as this approval was obtained; detailed pl��n� for elevatfons and land> scapia�g would be worked out and sub�equently �ub�nitted. City Attorney Andersun rendered his legal opinion by which the Planning Commission should be concerned aolely with the approw�l of the plot plan for the location of the buildiaags aaad the automotiee center, and cited � Section VIII la which authorized, by minute order, approval of this legal portion of the proposed coastruction, indicatin� that issuance of the definition Use Permit would be contingent upoa� �pproval of the remainder of the plans. Attosney Anderson directed the minute� to �iow that the applicant requested ' that the map` for this constructio�a be amended to �h�w tk�e change of use on this particular parcel. Further, that the Planning Gommission should consider approval of Phase A of this parcel and refer their recommendations to the City Council by minute order. Attorney Anderson cautioned th�t a new map �hould be xequested for not . only the new area but.for the eatire Vallco Park develop�ent, showing new map an amended zoning with which not only Sears Roebuck camm work but also required the City staff. This map should show tta� psopo�ed uses for that particular ' area and, if a subsequent ct�nge im u�e is considered, the chauge should be approved prior to the issuance of the Use Per�it. Director of Public Works Fina�ey st�ted that the following was required: co�asideration of the locatioa� fos the building� and �the automotive service center, additional access to putalic xo�dways, �nd solution of the proposed staff parking �tall width problem. Mr. P'inney said that, a� far as the staff report was concerned, there were no problem� which could not be worked out by sound engineering and planning. Considerable discussion ensued amon� the Co��i��ioners, questions were asked of the staff and the applicant; asnd Att�rney Aa�der�on�s legal opinion on inherent consideration� was freq�uen��y reqa�ested. l�ost of discuss�ons the discussions cea�tered ort the parking �tall widtta a� i�acorporated in the renderings i,e. 8'6" per stall. Co�issionex Irwin thought that it might be advisable to contia�ue discussions of ttae parlcing stall width until such time as a decision on tYae proposed ��aendaoent to the Parking Ordinance has been re�ehed, tlaereby eli�ninating much una�ecessary dis- cussion at this time." � Minutes of the Planni�g Commission July 22, 1968 80,000.4 PC-14 Application 16-U-68 contod page 3 It was Mr. Oraens' contention that his company, with its nation-wide cover�ge of outlets, had found the 8'6" stalls most adequate and cautiox�ed that a variance from this established width, if only by two c�r three inches, would make a tremenduous difference in the economics economics considering that a store of such magnitude needs hundreds of parking cited �paces and that this width was sufficient for the average shopper, particulaxly in view of the fact th�t no shoppin� carts need be con- sid�ered. Chaism�n Frolich stated that he would be against approving a width of 8'6", th�t, in his opinion, the ideal �idth would be 9'�' if not 10�, and that tais feelings had nothing to do with personal physiological considerations. In rebuttal, Mr. Owens maintained that in-depth chairman�s researc�i throughout his organization had indicated that 250,000 to opinioa 300,000 people were necessary to support a store of the proposed size �nd that the eliwination of one hundred stalls would be very costly. 'Th.ere was some consideration of double-decking the parking spaces and double- �.t w�s felt that �dditional parking facilities would probably render decking the store more attxactive to peogle who dislike overcrowded parking considered s�reas. Mr. Owens emphasized �hat Sears Roebuck was most anxious to make this undertaking mutually beneficial as monies earned by this operation would also bene£it the City of Cupertino. It was the staff's con- sensus th�t the parking stalls, as proposed, were unsatisfactory and explanations insufficient �lthough a 9" width mi�ht be considered, and that they were in b�sic agrtement with the applicant in connection with economic consideration� by the necessity to elimin�ate a large number of parking �t�lls because of greater width requirements. [�Then Chairasan Fxolich asked for �udience comments, Mr. Walter Ward, Gexural I�t�a�ager o£ Vallco Park, stated that the Sears officials had extended their coanplete and absolute cooperation in working out prob- lem areas. He s�id that the existing plans m�de provisions for 1277 stalls with � width of 8'6" and that the requested increase in width would reduce the number of st�ills to 1206. Mr. Ward reported that the vallco park Urbaiad L�ind Institute had recently completed a survey which indicated official's that 5.5.; �paces per 1,000 sq.ft. of floor area is adequate. However, opinions altYaough 1Kr. Ward agreed with the apglicant's economic considerations, he stated that Vallco Park would not be in favor af less than 9' parking stall widChs. Members of the audience asked for, and received explanatory comments from the Co�uoissioners relative to the proposed ad�oining uses of the pxoperty under discussion. Messrs. R. D. Kennetz and Tom Work Eelt that 8'6�' stalls were inadequate. Mrs. Juanita McLaren, Realtor, sudience stated th�t the recently approved General Motors coastruction had to comments adhere to the 10' x 20P xequirement as ienposed by this Commission. page 4 Minutes of the P'la�ni�g Comaoi�s�on ��ly 22, 196� 80,000.4 PC-14 Application 16-U 68 coa�t°d 16-U-68 Commissioner Irwi.n �oved to approve tla� building location on the plot building plan for Application 16-U-68 sub�ect to the 12 St�x�d�rd Coaaditions. location Chairman Frolich directed the incY.usi�aa of � px°oeisio� th�t the rewaining approved portions of the requirements for the 3Jse P�x°e�it wil� be siiscus�ed when with S��rs has fiaialized the�, �nd that tka� City Cou�ancil be �inforwed that the conditions applicant agreed to engage a tr�ffic consult�nt to work with the Public Works departunent in an atteenpt to re�mlve the e�r�s� �iaad iaagres� matter.
