Comprehensive General Plan
a. Report of Traffic Consultant Concerning Traffic
Input to Gei�eral Plan Consideration
r1r. Sisk introduced N1r. Do�z Goodrich, associate traffic cUnsultant,
to give traffic input relating to General Plan. , �
Mr. Goodricli �xi.:_`.:.�::�d a���ries ��� th�ee ma�s used for trie basis �
of his presentation on long range traffic picture of Cupertino. (
The traffic lanes were mid-block, both directions. He e�plained. �
the map 7.egends: the top figure in each bo:: represented number o£
; lanes available t.oday; second figure represented number of lanes
calculated as needed to date in ordeL to handle daily peak volumA;
third fugure rep�'esented future needed lanes,
Map 1 represented full developmeut o£ Cupertino with two missing
pieces: Mariani site with no development, and Vallco Park site with
no new development except what was already commiL'ted. Mr. Goodr.ich
explained how the figures had been arrived at and what was meant by
levels of a,b, c and cl. He said figures we.re b��;ed on residential
development for the City for full c�eneral. Plan up to 1�95 and beyond
at level c. Using other levels wauld not change picture too much;
other issues are not sensitive to traff ic volume.

xfr. Goodrich said road system assu_nes Route $5 freeway will be completely
constructed on into San Jose; assumes Mary tivenue overcrossing �aill be
constructed; assuuies Tantau overcrossing will be consti:ucted; assumes
extention of Bollin�er taest of Stelling. Th�s does not i:.ean it :�s
r.ecommended; rhey merely set ;ahat roads �,�ere used to test against land
use plan. �
Mr. Goodrich then tool� some of the figures on Map 1 and explained how
they effected the traffic picture of Cupertino.
Maps 2 and 3 sho�a alternate General Plans with rlariani. site and Val.lco
site fil.led i.n with future developmen�. ;ahen the re�ional shopp:ing �
center was tested on Vallco site, high residential land use �aas assumed
on Marian� site. When the regional shopp.ing center ,�as tested on
riariani site, high rise was assumed south of �,�olfe and industrial west �
of Wolf.e R�ad.
�
Tize results of these testings are shown in small box � appears under
large box on r4aps 2 and 3.
Mr. Goodrich then took several areas as e�;amples of their findings,
explainin� the effect of different uses.
Other assumptions pointed out �aere that these calculations have been
based c�n certain le�els of service �ahich eifect levels of con�estion.
The less congestion, the zewer lanes needed <<�ir_h sanie traffic demand.
Another assumptien is related to road systems as holes filled in on
Marian�_ and Vallco sites. A C-D (collection district) system was added
to ro�d systems ln order to serve ne�a development _n Vallco develc�yment
with or wittiout regional center. In the case ot :�Iar�ani development,
Torre Avenue �oas assumed constructed to Hom�stead Road and Stevens
C;reek Boulevard.
Map 3 shc�aed Stevens Creek Boulevard lane demands �,Tould be a little
higher because af regional shopp�tig center in Vallcosite. Under �
assumptions, three lanes of freeway traffic would be coming in and
out of Vallco. If it were not tor free�vay use, stre2t traific iaould
be much higher. Freeway demands are extreme.ly important on _•laps 2 and 3.
�Ir. Goodrich sai.d rather than pointing aut lanes which comr.ti.ssion had
before them and could study, Yie would answer any questions they might
have.
In ans;aer to Com�. Adams, Mr. Goodrich explained the overpass access
lanes bet�veen Wo.Lte Road, Stevens Creelc noulevard an.�. the Freeway.
The nomenclature C--D was expla;_ned as collection distributor serving
Freeway or irontage road, rather than serving property.

In answer to Comm. Nellis, Mr. Goodra.ch explained the fellowing:
Map 1 in.r_ludes what i_s now anc? what wzll be developed in the very
near future. Inclucles land uses in Valleoplus cahole si.te,
Hewlett-�Packard, and four phase bui.lding located on easterly side
of Wol�e Road. On Map 2, asaut���tion for ]_and use ��a:= hzgh res.�den-

�ndustrial and very Yi�gh densi_ty rinancia]_ office cer.ters; nigh
traffic generators.
On riap 2, same assumption except �ahere deve.loper in Vallcohad
proposed re.gional shopping center �ras h c?en�ity residential
and industrial deve]_opment east of ZJelfe Road. South of_ 280
� and eastern portion o?. V�llco �'��� a�sum�d to be generally industrial.
On rlap 3 rZariani site was sho;an as high residential. Property
around site west of Sunnyvale--Saratoga Road was assu�aed to be
multi--family construction. 8 unitsi acre �aas used in testinQ.
Another assumption was a commercial and multi-far� resiciential_
development �n southeast quadrant oi ;i; �h�•.ay °���hich was quite a
hijh traffic generator.
T1r. Goodrich d�scussed peal; hour_ traffic generators. �i.n�
family devel.opments migh� g:nerate 3 to 4 tr�ps per acre during
critical. hour (4:3G-5:30 on lecal streets) . As unit�� ir_crease �.n
residentiu7_ develoY�r.tent, traffic woul_d increase almest �roport:.on-
ately.
An industrial devel�p:r,ent of average type proposed in Va1lcoPa.rlc
area would gFnerate perhaps 25 trips per acre in peatc hcur, dependen-
on whether tnere are fleaible or sta�gered �oorking hours. 30-40°a
if working hours are nat stagg�red. �
Regional shopping cei:ter on daily basis is largest tra=fic ge.ierat.cr
On pealc hour basis :�s not hibhest; perhaps 40 trips per acre per hou .

° Land use such as financial use office center proposed i.n Vallco with
multi-level parking and high rise buildings can generate in ran�;e
of 100 tr�ps per acre in evening peak liour.
Individual offices; two factors. (1) f.1o�r area per acre - if

Mr. Goodricli was asked about an assumpti.on involving State improvement.
He said the estimation of compl.etion of Route 85 from 5tevens Creek
Boulevard south to Iligliway 9 was approved by liighway Commission for I976.
Has nnw been deferred to 1978-79. Referreci �o annual.ly and each year may
get set bacic. Route 85 is planned to be 8 lanes.
Regarding r4ary overcross, this was scheduled for late 1970's but it has
been suggested they reconsider when if ever that should be built.
It has been recommended to keep Tantau overcrossing in budgeCed program
for late 1970's.
�
Torre Avenue overcrossing has noC been put into program by State Highway
Division. Looking towards results of traffic work being done here to
see t��hat traffic demands would be for Torre.
T��s ruestion �f whet':ier C-D r:tr�:��t ��_s i:� ���,I.l�:o ��as .: �_� _, -'; �c�i�:�ed .
� rlr. Goodrich said tt would normall5 be �. Stat� pro�ec�, but it is
not being recommended for goin� into th�ir budgetir�g system; are
against i.t because oi cost and efLect on operaCion of freeway.
l�ir. Goodrich said however any development beyond what is shown on
Maps 2 and 3 would need C-D s�reets.
Regarding Freewray 2gp being s1io�,rn as needing 12 lanes, the physical
possibility of putting in 10 lanes on right of way was questioned.
Mr. Goodr.ich said it was designed for maximum of 8?_anes. Bridges
would have to be buil.t, and expansion modi.fications to make 10 lanes
possible.
" Level of se Urith only �3 lanes was di.scussed, Congestion t�rould
be extrentely heavy during numb�r. of hours every day; stop and go.
Under worst conditi.ons could be stop and go from 7:00 A.r1. to
9:0o P.rz.
Highway 9 is presently being extendea �u six lanes. Comm. Buthenuth
wondered if there would be same type of congestion rait�i 6 lanes as .
there no�ur is with 4, r1r: Goodrich said corigestion would be maybe
on level of service higher. Level of service has to be for intersection
and these are figured on mid-block calculations.
Mr. Goodrich said additional comgutations are being run on Highway 9
estima�es until freeway is pui: in. r4uch of_ L on Saratoga--Sunnyvale
Road is L passing through City over �ahich City has little control. .
Surrounding areas are gro�,�ring rapidly and there will be con�rstion if
freetaay �_s not e�tenaed. Co:nm. Nellis noted otlier areas where there
,, will be physical. problems in meeting expaiision needs.

An assumption about McClellan Road is that McClellan Road be}cnd
Foothill Boulevard and 3ubo Road is noca two lanes and calculaLions
of traffic are quite loto. Future calculations stiow 1.6 lane der�and
on westerly portion and 2.6 demand on Bubb Road. rfore lanes c•;ould
be de:�anded assuraing Bubb Rcad were standat:d h��h speed road .
The low calculaticn is based on assur:tntion that curve� will be
kept and this assum�tion does eftect the a�ount of traffic that
uses it.
A discussion ��as held concerning red area based on 2C0-400 units.
There would be no over-all capacity :robleia on Steven5 Creek Boule-
vard. access roads and their i::�pact ::�ere discussed. 200 units
at critical peak heurs, assumine .7 a trip, would �enerate 140
trips in a:�d out of a total deveiop^ient in ene hour. �Ir. Levy
sai3 would ha-:e to generate over 500 tryps to overcrowd road. ._
In answer to Chairman Buthenuth, Mr. Goodrich said grade variations
has a slig��t ictpact on trai f ic in that it would slo�.� traf f ic.
In answer to Co.=,m. Gatto , Mr . Goodric.i sa there was no �naj or
im�act in the nu:nber of drive�aays on supportiiig secondary streets
in Cerms o� level of service.
" The character of the neighborhood would seem to make it des�rable
not to have continuous parking on streets in res�.dential area.
Meander�ng, curvyng and clustered development in one area t�as
suggested for hillside. �
Mr. Goodrich sa�d there �vas no clear cut 3ist-nction of number o�
roads scattered versus clustered. In general cluster w•ould recuire
less r.iileaoe or �ootage of rcad than typ�cal outlay c�7her2 road has
to go through to each indiv�dual unit.
The jump to 4 lanes of traff �c on Footh:l.l Toule��ard south ef
Stevens Creek Boulevard taas then discussed. It tuas suggested
_ that Chis be especially exam�ned to see :�h�t the diiference in
