APPROVAL TO FORWARD THE ANNUAL REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE
GENERAL PLAN PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65400(b)
General Plan amendment actions are italicized.
Traffic:
• Complete the levels of service for the intersections not provided in the 1996 review.
• Schedule the traffic information portion of this report for the December 9 Planning
Commission meeting.
Housing:
• Leave the 150 residential units in the Bubb Road area for now.
• Study the Bandley area for residential potential.
• Do not prioritize housing policies 21 and 26 for the 1996/97 work program.
• Appendix B- provide the specific buildout numbers for each property that was developed
and assess the feasibility of the remainder being developed.
• Policy 2-13, Strategy 2(page 2-21) and Policy 3-1 (page 3-20) - Schedule a general plan
amendment to consider rewording the requirement to develop residential development at the
upper limit of the dwelling unit intensity range.
• Policy 2-26 (page 2-29). Consider a strategy to address the future development of
"transition" parcels (between higher and lower residential densities, e.g., change the
densities allowed in the land use diagram.
• Schedule a discussion of how to require residences on the front lots of a flag-lot subdivision
to have an architectural "face" on the major street (e.g., Stelling Road).
Non-residential development:
• Reconsider height limitations (vote was 2-2, revote on 12/9/96).
Parks:
• Evaluate Neighborhoods L1/L2 for potential park acquisition or leasing of school lands.
• Policy 5-47 - Compare this policy on park size with the Heart of the City plan and
incorporate any changes that might result from the comparison.
Schools:
Bring back Cupertino Union School District's study results when they are available.
Implementation:
Policy 7-2 (page 7-3) calls for a General Plan review every 5 years by an an hoc citizen's review
committee. A review should begin in the summer of 1997, prior to the October annual review,
which could involve citizens in a concentrated review of General Plan goals and policies. This
"mid-course" correction could modify the need for a comprehensive General Plan review in
2000.
2
The Commission also requested that all project descriptions report both gross and net densities.
This is not a general plan amendment, but a request to case managers. This should be
incorporated into the Development Intensity Manual.
