GENERAL PLAN REVIEW: 7:30 - 8:30 PM
The Plannin� Director stated that '�ir. Ron VogelbauM, a San Jose State
Woriz./Study Student, ti�ould be included in the discussions of the General
Plan at this meeting.
The Associate Planner introduced a discussion on the parks program.
�-?e noted that there are numerous kinds of parks, but he nas chosen 4
standards for revier�. The exhibits presented assumed more or less
present zonin�.
L��i�hborhood The first type of park is the Neighborhood Park. This is intended to
Park serve basically the needs of smaller ctiildren and sIiould be within
walking distance, not across r�ajor thorou�hfares.
Community The second type of in the County Study is the Comriunity Park, designed
Park to serve mainly teena�ers. These parks should be c•�itnin bicycling
distance.
Citywide The third type is the City�aide Park. This is desinned for family-t_ype
Paxk enjoyr,!ent and use. This is the type of park where you �aould load the
family up into the car and driv� to the par�c for an outing.
1ZegionaZ Another type of park is the KegionaJ_ Park, �allich is used fer h:iking,
Park horseback riding, swimming, etc. IL not a wilcierness area, there should
at least be an uneouched area. There shou?;i b� 2.25 acres of regional
parks for every 1000 population.
I�IINUTES OF THE APRIL 10, 1972 PLA.NNING COMMISSIOPd MEETING YC-57

The Associate Planner said our present devel.oped and undeveloped Less park
City parks represent about 2.1 acres per thausand population. He lands pro-
then reviewed the location of the present City park lands and those posed now
locations where parks wil]_ be needed. IIe cautioned that it will be than 50 years
hard to acqui.re all the park lands needed. Fifty years ago the ago
cities proposed much larger park lands than are now proposed. In
apartment areas there is a greater need for parks for the children
than in sin�;le family areas. Most apartment complexes today are
� designed for adult living and do not include children's play areas,
although recreation areas are included.
The Senior Planner said there is the one sctiool of thought that 2 schools of
parks are not needed because people can drive to the mountains or thought
seashore for recreation. Another school of thought is that we
need parks that are more easily accessible. As to the argument
that we cannot afford the parks, it is a reflection on our economy
i£ we can't afford parks as they did fifty years ago.
Comm. Puetz asked what considerations have been met for locations teen centers
of park lands for the various age groups. The Senior Planner said should be '
that frequently it is possible to get neighborhood parlcs adjacent near high
to or near elementary schools. It is harder to get property for schools
parks near the high schools. Comm. Puetz noted there is vacant
property close to some of the high schools. There is a need for
teen centers, etc., near the high schools. If we are going to
have teen centers they should be near the high schools because
most high school students are within bicycle riding distance of
the schools. To minimize social problems, he felt the various
age groups should be segregated.
Comm. Hirshon asked if this County Study would apply to any com-
munity or only to areas similar to ours where there is a regional
park nearby. The Senior Planner said it is designed with the
Regional Park in mind.
Mr. Vogelbaum presented a map which he said is intended to inven- �lements to be
tory the various elements in this area to be considered in regard considered in
to the parks system: the Permanente Quarry operation, the Church parks progran
property, Stevens Canyon Park, Santa Clara County Park, Stevens
Canyon Reservior, Gerrard Ranch, Monta Vista Park, Blackberry Farm,
Horse Ranch, Deep Cliff. He said present thinking is to keep
Stevens Canyon £��ad as a scenic road rather than bring it up to
freeway or expressway standards.
The Senior Planner noted that the 1964 General Plan calls for the Stevens Creek
Stevens Creek Park Chain; however some areas have been rezoned Park Chain
and developed so the property owners own the land to the middle of
the creek.

open space can acquirer? to zchieve the nlinimur.l sta:�dard. The Senior Planner said that,
be counted in based on 4.25 acres per thousand populatior�.�oe should have about
park lands 170 acres, of ��liich we presently have about 46 acres. C?.zairMan �'Ieyers
then askecl if open ��ace could be counted as park space. The Senior
Plann�r said the open space could be counterl if it is accessible to
the general public.
Elements to be Corun. Puetz would like to have the staff p,_epare definitions and
considered requirements for ne�ghborliood parks. Tlie Senior Planner stated that
another input in this Study �aill be tne County's decis�_on on the
Montebello Ridge area. Develop^�ei:t policies are veYy iMportant izi
determining parks requirements. Another factor to be cor:sidered is
th� subject of earthquakes. r� policy regarding th� quarries should be
determin�d. If the occasion sl�oul<i cone u� �-aher� t�.ey wculd need an
additional�Use Permit, etc., certain condit ceuld be placed on
it regarding b•4ffer areas. idhen they cease operations, funds should be
provided for restoration oi the area.
Combine de���elop The Senior Planner said there are various ��,ays t�:e public can preserve
r:ient caith open space. The purchasing of c�evelopr.lent rights is not practical.
