In a discussIon about side yard set backs.. the Chief Building Inspec-
tor requested a minimum be Set and to forget abòûtthe perèentagés.
The Chairman was not sure this would be applicable in all cases. The
Planning Consultant was against narrowing the side yàrd set backs
very much because ,it was. his content.ion you are then creating a
problem area for the homeowners; one whIch is not'good for any useful
purpose and is, in reality, a ~iaì?iUty. ,T~e :fire department also
frowns on narrow side yards foröbvlous reasons. Comm. Thomson felt
that it was not necessary for CUPertino to lower ,its standards to
competewitÍ1neighboring citiéé; He felt 'that wIth Los Altos on the
one side and Saratog;a on the ot \1.e I' , that C11pertir:o was a cl~,(;ice area
änd"shouldma1ntainits h1.gh standards. The ChiÚ Building Inspec-
tor felt that; with land prices spiralling, it was necessary to bow
to the requests of the developers f;1omewhat in order to make R-~ more
attractive to them and to'reverse the trend toward multiples.

(e) Should read as follows:
"Side Yard: Single .story, 6', total both sides 14 I.
Where any side elevation has two stories, the total
minimum side yard shall be increased by 2' and shall
be applied to the side or sides which have the two story
elevation; single family semi-detached: none except
between groups, then as specified in Section 24. Side
yard on the same side as a side street lot line of a
corner lot shall be not less than 12'." .(This require-
ment to supersede that shown in the minutes o:f l¡/2l/64.)
Nr. Leonard suggested SECTION 7, which h~s been left open, be used
for Town Houses, Cluster Plan, etc. It was suggested by the Assist-
ant City Engineer that the zoning designation could be R-l-SD.
Nr. Schoenfeld indicated he would check with the County Planning
Commission for proper nomenclature. All agreed it was important to
have uniformity in nomenclature for clarity.
It was then decided that SECTION 7 would be used for Single Family
Semi Detached at the same density as Single Family Detached; i.e.,
Town Houses, Cluster Plan, etc.
The sub-section in SECTION 7 concerning area lot width maximum
coverage and yard requirements would be the same as Section 5.5,
excluding reference to Detached Dwellings.
