MINUTES O~' THE PREVIOUS MEETING:
Corrections:
Page 3, third paragraph up from the bottom. Comm. Snyder
stated that Mr. Churchill is the "renown" planner rather than
"reknown." He also stated that the Cupertino Courier quoted
the City Planner in that Monta Vista may have an "industr:J.al"
rather than "commercial" development within 15-20 years.
Chairman Frolich stated that in paragraph 1 on page 5, he
wanted to clarify his statement in that the Ordinance re-
quires a map be submitted. This tentative map was approved
by the Planning Commission. He also wanted it clarified that
Idlewild Green does not abut the Craft property.
On page 6, paragraph 12, Chairman Frolich wanted to indicate
that a copy of the Vallco Park application had been posted in
the recreation area prior to the public hearing. In para-
graph 13, Mr. Charles Clark's address should read 1784 Lark
Lane, Sunnyvale. Mr. Epperson's Linnet Lane address is in
Sunnyvale rather than Cupertino.
On page 8, paragraph 7, it should be pointed out that land is
gOing to be rezoned multiple rather than commercial. Regard-
ing Mr. Parsley's petition, Chairman Frolich stated that all
but one of the applicants were not near the area in question.
Mrs. Parsley took the petition with her when she left.
On page 9, the last motion, AYES were: Commissioners Adamo,
Small, Snyder, Frolich; NAYS were: Commissioners Fitzgerald
and Rampy; and Commissioner Leonard was absent.
Comm. Snyder moved to approve the minutes as corrected.
Comm. Rampy seconded. Motion carried, 7-0

IV F.EARINGS
A. ELL VEE CONSTRUCTION CO.: Appl. 91-2-63 to rezone 34 acres
from A to R-24-H; bounded on the north by Stevens Creek
Blvd., on the east by the lands of Foothill College, on
the south by McClellan Road and on the west by the South-
ern Pacific Railroad. Continued. (Annexation in progress)
Mr. Ned Abrams reviewed the highlights of the study session .
held the previous week. He stated the City Manager met with the County
engineers regarding traffic. He indicated that the most desirable
place to have the main street would be along the railroad.
Chairman Frolich expressed great concern for the traffic prob-
lem in this area so close to the college site and was pleased to hear
the developer is willing to cooperate in trying to solve this problem
before it is upon us. Stelling, McClellan, Bubb and a reactivated
Mary Avenue will be main thoroughfares. One and off ramps to the West
Valley Freeway are proposed a t McClellan Road.
Chairman Frolich expressed a wish that people in this. area would
come to the Planning Commission and City Council meetings and be heard
because it will directly affect them.
Comm. Fitzgerald wondered if the City Engineering Dept. had
anything further to report and Mr. Shook stated there. was nothing to
add. There were no comments from the audience.
Comm. Snyder felt the Planning Commission can't keep playing
this by ear and possibly conflicting with the preliminary general plan.
In the past few months the Planning Commission has approved quite a
bit of multiple zoning and Comm. Snyder feels it should take a close
look at the proposed density as opposed to the recommended density in
the Cupertlno area. T.his could be accomplished by markirigup a map
with the existing and propoceddevelopments.
Comm.Fitzgerald stated there does not appear to be a density
problem in this area but the problem could come up elsewhere.
Chairman Frolich pointed out that there is a chart in exist-
ance relating to this very problem but that it needs to be brought
up to date. He asked Mr. Shook if this could be accomplished.
Mr. Abrams stated that .FHA in Washington has recently reduced
the twon house maximum to 12 units to the acre as opposed to the pre-
vious apartment house maximum of 25 units to the acre. He felt this
would be a contributing factor in controlling the density since most
f:l.nancing will supposedly go FHA on future developments.
Comm. Snyder is also concerned that Cupertino has yet to have
a large development of this kind materialize and wonders if all the
problems which could arise have been anticipated and explored to
alleviate, or at least minimize them.
Comm. Leonard explained he had missed a couple of Planning
Commissiorimeetings but had attended the study session and was aware
of the serious traffic. problems which could ari.se. He, therefore,
made the following motion:
I. WHEREAS the existin~ road pattern in the vicinity of Bubb Road and
McClellan Road is completely inadequate for even the present mix-
ture of R-l and agricultural uses because of the following situa-
tions:
1) Narrow two-lane paved strips without shoulders serving as Bubb;
McClellan; and Stelling; and handling not over '1,000 cars an
hour eastward and northward;
2) Narrow two-lane paved strip without shoulders -- McClellan --
. winding westward to .the Mtn. VW'. -Stevens Creek Road; and hand-
ling perhaps 300 c.ars an hour; .
3)
Narrow, substandard two-lane street --- Byrne Avenue -- running
northward from McClellan to Stevens Creek Blvd.; and handlin~
perhaps 400 cars an hour; and,
2
II. WHEREAS the major road construction now planned through the area
provides little or no local service for these reasons:
1)
Plans announced so far for the West Valley Freeway provide
only ~rade separation~ at McClellan and Bubb (rather than
interchanges), which distinction means that said freeway
when build will fail miserably in serving a landloclced area
of about 2,000 acres; a land mass which could easily contain
eight or ten thousand fanùlies owning more than 15,000 auto-
mobiles; this density being possible with fully developed
R-l;
Junipero Serra, now building, is no factor in serving this
area for the obvious reason that it cannot be reached except
through existing bottlenecks;
2)
There are no existing plans to develop the Southern Pacific
right-of-way as a major thoroughfare at ground level grade
to serve local traffic. People of good intention but limited
information sometimes urge that if there is a traffic problem
this solution will solve it -- the railroad tracle. This
possible route is not currently planned as a street; on the
contrary, the plan is to lceep it as a railroad; and
III. WHEREAS other jurisdictions have done little or nothing to im~
prove arteries in their territories which would improve local
traffic service in subject area as shown by these situations:
IV.
v.
VI.
3)
1) Sunnyvale, Cupertino, the County and the Division of Highways
show no progress in developing a badly needed north-south
route along the line of t~ry Avenue and Bubb Road, despite
the obvious need for such a direct route to the junior col-
lege site on. the Euphrat property, and to the large residen-
ti.al. area sou·chwarrj. from it.
2) San Jose has done nothing really decisive to date in tapping
the trapped area, although the extension of Bollinger. Road
westward from Highway 9, and the piece-mealing of Rainbow
Drive may eventually do a little good;
3) The County has done next to nothing with Byrne Avenue, Orange
Avenue, or Imperial Avenue to handle more traffic between
McClellan and Stevens Creek Blvd.; and,
WHEREAS the Consultant, worlcing on a Preliminary General Plan for
Cupertino, has suggested the possibility of using light industrial
zoning--and resulting higher values--as an eventual solution to
certain local problems (including lack of traffic ci~culation)
which problems either exist now, or are expected to develop in
the Monta Vista area on both sides of the railroad track; said
light industrial land use being one that commonly generates 20
to 40 cars per acre per shift, a traffic load the area is ill-
prepared to handle at present; and,
WHEREAS no applicant is as yet in sight willing to undertake the
consolidation of plottage into industrial acreage; one who might
subsequently make dedicatlons .or other arrangements for new major
arteries to handle an expanded local traffic plus a considerable
residential traffic wishing to pass on through the projected
industrial area tò other destinations northward and eastward; and
WHEREAS the current. applicants (who are exclusively interested
in multiple and wholly disinterested in the industrial suggestion)
do recognize the need for outlets to the north and east if their
Gagliasso parcel is to reach its best potential, and have accord-
ingly expressed these thoughts:
1) A willingness to dedicate land next to the railroad tracks for
four lanes of traffic; some being their own traffic and some
coming from areas beyond; the possibility existing of running
three lanes one way and one the other, depending on which
direction of flow dominates morning and night;
-3-
2) A suggestion that traffic beyond could make better use of
their new street if Bubb Road were bent across the railroad
traclcs a bit south of !llcClellan so that a signal light with
stacking lanes could control at McClellan just east of the
tracks;
3) A suggestion that they might be in a position to secure the
land for one loop of an interchange between McClellan and the
West Valley Freeway; any provision for access on and off the
projected freeway being a considerable help to the area's
many traffic problems;
4) A suggestion that they would do their part in developing
McClellan as a 90', 4-lane street provided plan .lines are
established immediately making McClellan a 90' street from
Byrne Avenue to Stelling Road, or beyond; and making Stelling
Road subject to a 90' plan line from McClellan to Stevens
Creek Blvd or beyond; -
5) A suggestion that existing structures on the south side of
McCl€llan and the east side of Stelling might make it neces-
sary to take most of the widening from the Euphrat orchard
eartnarlced for use by the junior college district; and,
VII. WHEREAS present owners are past their most active years and
plead that their life expectancy scarcely permits their waiting
for the ultimate re-do of the Manta Vista area; that they have a
sound buyer if the annexation is concluded and the multiple zon-
ing granted; and that they have no alternate buyer if these
events fail; and,
VIII. WHEREAS simple denial of the application on grounds that it is
"premature", or would "lead to too much multiple" might be an
easy way out for the moment, neither is a course of action that
really comes to grips with the fundamental problem of 2,000 acres,
much of which is in Cupertino; the underlying problem being road
pattern or circulation; which problem is generally recognized as
a major cornerstone of planning, the shirking of which is close
to laziness or even intellectual cowardice; and,
IX. WHEREAS referring our key problem back to the City Manager, or
the Engineer, or the Council, or anyone else for that matter,
asking for a report, may be a help in studying the problem, the
Commission still has the duty to face the facts and the problems
and make their recommendation; and,
X. WHEREAS the immediate breaking of a crippling traffic bottleneck
of long duration seems in the best interests of all concerned,
even though part of a pacl~age to grant more multiple zoning, and
despite the fact that any application for multiple anywhere is
usually protested by at least a few people; and,
XI. WHEREAS the Commission is well aware of its own hopes for the
eventual development of a fine light industrial parle in the ap-
proximate area of this application, and granting of multiple on
the current application would reduce the acreage potential; a
reduction that can perhaps be offset by adding like acreage of
M-I-H elsewhere as has been suggested in a study session; and,
XII. WHEREAS the Commission feels that the Consultant will concur
with them in believing that the current long range large view for
the ultimate solution near Monta Vista is impossible of attainment
unless we now make a practical compromise to achieve a real break-
through on road pattern which can be expanded; which same break-.
through can be achieved now by holding applicants to what they
say they will do to improve access to an area many times larger
than the parcel they control.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Commission recommend the re-
zoning applied for subject to the following conditions:
1 - 12)
13)
Schedule B, the regular list of requirements;
Dedication of land for a 4-lane 90' right-of-way; developer to
provide the usual improvements for a 60' street paving what-
ever width is recommended by the City Engineer to handle
-h-
.
the trafflc developed by the multiple in this. project, but
not less than the 40' which is normal for a 60' right-of-way;
paving of the rest of the 90' ~¡idth to be by whatever formula
is recommended by the City Enginee~ and adopted by the
Council with respect to the through traffic which is hardly
this developer's responsibility;
l4) Reservation of any land these applicants control which could
be used for a loop or a diamond or other configuration needed
to provide some interchange of Bubb-Mcclellan traffic with
the West Valley Freeway;
15) Filing of a tentative subdivision map clearly establishing
the L~-lane through street; the plan line for McClellan and
Stevens Creek Blvd.; and the reservation of land for a dia-
mond 01:' loop;
l6) Filing of improvement plans with the CUpertino Sanitary
District so they may obtain any easements needed for district
trunks;
17) And everything else the Commission considers a necessary
condition.. .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is the view of this Commission that
these matters are of sufficient importance to be brought to the atten-
tion of other agencies and persons, and that a copy of this resolution
be sent to them for their study and comment, and with high hopes for
their fullest cooperation in solving a ¡motty problem which is plagu-
ing all of us alike:
1) City Engineer of Cupertino, with particular reference to plan lines
for 90' sections for McClellan and Stelling where he feels appro-
priatewithin Cupertino boundaries;
2) Head of the Department of Public Works, Santa Clara County, with
particular reference to the need for further study of the need for
interchanges on the West Valley Freeway to serve the area in
question, and with the hope that by concgrted effort p~oper repre-
sentations can be made to the Division of Highways before design
is complete and contracts let;
3) Division of Highways, as a preliminary indication that a recom-
mendation will probably be developed after the various jurisdic-
tions have studied the problem and agreed on a preferréd solution;
4) Board of Trustees of Foothill Junior College, with particular
reference to the fact that their use will generate a lot of traf-
fic from all sides, and that it would not be realistic to ignore
very real problems at their back door, or to argue that someone
else would have to surrender whatever land is required to solve a
public need;
5) City Engineer of San Jose, with an earnest request for any guidance
they may offer based on plans and studies not yet announced with
respect to the work they hope to do within their boundaries which
would help circulation in this particular area;
6) Other owners of undeveloped property on both sides of the railroad
track from McClellan to Homestead, with reference to the fact that
their holdings present comparable difficulties which same can
perhaps be solved a bit sooner by a concerted effort at this time.
Comm. Small seconded the motion.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small, Snyder,
Frolich
Motion carried, 7-0
Mr. Abràms indicated he took no exception to this motion.

B. DONALD A. EXCELL: Appl. 85-2-63 to rezone approximately
ll.037 acres from A-2:B-4 to P-O-H (2.287 acres) and
R-24-H (8.75 acres); on the west side of Highway 9, 450'
south of Homestead Road. Second Hearing. Tentative map.
3 lots. (Appl. 25-TM-63).
Mr. Gene ~ñstin presented the tentative map for garden apart-
ments drawn up for the Excell property. . A major problem seems to be
one of access to the freeway.
After studying the map and proposed plans, Comm. Fitzgerald
stated he felt the street pattern would work out satisfactorily. Comm.
Small commented on the quality of the development. Comm. Snyder
questioned what will go on either side of this property. The lumber
yard is already on the one side, across the freeway and Comm. Fitz-
gerald stated that more multiples would probably go into this area
since the neighborhood plan shows high density in this area.
Comm. Adamo asked if the property owners to the north have
been notified of this proposed development.
Mr. Diclc Pacheco, 1143 Plum Ave., Sunnyvale, stated he was
representing Mr. Ralph Rodrigues, whose property is to the north of
the Excell land. He wondered if Mr. Rodrigues was not in favor of
this type development for his property, would there be any need for
the interior street? Comm. Fitzgerald pointed out that the neighbor-
hood plan called for a street going along the freeway.
Both Chairman Frolich and Comm. Snyder wondered if Mr. Rodri-
gues should be required to help with the dedication of the entire
street down to Highway 9.
Mr. Pacheco stated that Mr. Rodrigue,s would be in favor of
having the street go along the property line.
Attorney Anderson quoted the law in respect to private streets
versus public streets. He pointed out that in private streets, the
only requirement is that they must be kept open and that they be of a
given width. There is no assurance of ingress and egress for the fire
department, etc. He went on to say that he does not feel FJffi makes
any provisions to cover these problems...none, that is, that he has
read about.
On this basis, Chairman Frolich then suggested that perhaps
the City should insist on a dedicated street on subject property.
Comm. Leonard stated that it was unfortunate the way the group
of property owners handled the situation in regard to the City Council.
He felt that this· land is much too valuable for the use proposed at
this time. He didn't feel that a hardship of any kind was involved,
and that the property owners would all benefit more by trying to work
together to make better use of this prime property. The fact that it
is right along the.· freeway makes quick dissemination of traffic
possible, which would be a major selling point.
Mr. Excell stated at this point that he was the property owner
and the City of Cupertino wàs not.
Mr. Pacheco questioned whether Comm. Leonard was proposing
industrial zoning and Comm. Leonard stated he had no"t. indicated a
particular type of zoning.
Mr. Pacheco then stated that his client's first preference
would be for commercial zoning, then apartment zoning. He further
stated that Mr. Rodrigues would liIce to develop his property within 5
years. He indicated that it was not so much a problem of getting ~he
surrounding property owners to reach an agreement as it was to finù a
developer for the property.

gerald seconded.

C. S}illLL OIL COMPANY: Appl. 28-U-63 for a Use Permit for
approximately 1/2 acre. Property zoned C-I-H. Use Permit
sought for service station; norwest corner of Highway 9
and Park· A venue.
Frolich
Mr. Morris Smith made the presentation. He presented a draw-
ing of the proposed service station and photographs of other stations
which are already built and are similar in construction to the pro-
posed.
Comm. Small stated this is a good corner for a service station.
The lot is 165' along Highway 9 by 130' deep along Parle A venue, which
leads to the Gemco parking lot.
Chairman Frolich asked if the applicant would be willing to go
along with H-Control planting requirements. Mr. Smith stated they
would.
Chairman Frolich asked if there were any comments from the
audience. There were none.
Comm. Small moved the hearing be closed. Comm. Fitzgerald
seconded.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small,
Snyder, Frolich
NAYS: None

Comm. Small so moved that application 28-u-63 for a Use Permit
be granted, subject to Exhibit B standard requirements and as per the
plans submitted by the applicant. Comm. Fitzgerald seconded.

Snyder, Frolich
NAYS: None
7-0
Comm. Leonard felt reaffirmation of the reasoning behind this
approval was in order.
Comm. Snyder moved to amend the motion whereas this presenta-
tion is essentially the same as that which was presented to the Plan-
ning Commission approximately one year ago and whereas the Commission
feels that this applicant will establish a precedent for the quality
architectural design of service stations desired in this area and
whereas this is an integral part of the commercial development which
will draw business for and from the establishment, we now reaffirm
our position. Comm. Fitzgerald seconded.

D. ALLEN L. CHADWICH: Appl. 29-U-63 for a Use Permit for
approximately 2.ö7 acres.· Property zoned C-I-H. Use Permit
sought for sale of new and used cars; south side of Stevens
Creek Blvd, 350' west of Blaney Avenue.
Mr. Chadwich presented a drawing of his proposed business es-
tablishment. He explained that he had applied for several franchises
(General Motors), but that he planned to blacktop his property now and
put in sidewalks, curbs, and road along his property on Stevens Creek
and would do the same on Blaney if the Commission so desired. He
would also put in a small office at this time. He expla:í.ned he had
been an automobile dealer in Phoenix, Arizona, for 15 years.
-7-
It was Comm. Fitzgerald's opinion that if he developed the
street along Blaney right away he would probably realize a return on
his money right away. He added that adjoining property along Blaney
is before the City Council now, so it would be feasible to develop his
property on Blaney now it it may turn out to be the only undeveloped
piece along that strip.
Comm. Small requested the applicant appear before H-Control
with his plans.
Comra. Fitzgerald questioned the type of lighting system to be
used. Mr. Chadwich stated it would be poles with multiple floods or
the like, but no stringers.
Comm. Small moved the hearing be closed. Comm.Rampy seconded.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small,
Snyder, Frol1ch
NAYS: None
7-0
Comm. Small moved that application 29-U-63 for a Use Permit
be approved, subject to the 12 standard requirements and that street
improvements be made on both Stevens Creek and Blaney at the time of
the original development of this property, and no stringers far il-
lumination.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, D'itzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small,
Snyder, Frolich
NA YS: None
7-0
Comm. Small requested Mr. Chadwich bring the drawing along to
the H-Control meeting. Mr. Chadwich stated he also hoped to have com-
plete building specifications and detailed plans by that time.
E. TWILLA CHILDRESS: Appl. 30-u-63 for a Use Permit. Property
zoned R-l:B-2. Use Permit sought for a boarding home for
aged; 20916 Alves Drive.
Applicant requested permission to enlargc her'home to accommo-
date'two additional agcd, ambulatory guests. 9he is already licensed.
by the County to care for. two. She has submitted, along with her
application, a letter from Mr. Lee Azpvedo, County Social Worker, con-
Pirming this remodelling, and an agreement petition signed by all the
neighbors for 300' around her home.
Mr. Leonard questioned whether there would still be only one
kitchen since a situation like this, expanded to have two kitchens,
could possibly constitute a duplex. Mrs. Childress stated there
would be only one kitchen.
Comm. Small moved this Hearing be closed. Comm. Rampy seconded.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small,
Snyder, Frolich
NA YS: None

At this point, Mr. Shoolc quoted the Zoning Ordinance of the
County of Santa Clara, Section 16" (aL 8. "Boarding homes on building
sites in one ownership having an area of not less than one-half acre,
subject to the securing of a use permit as provided in Section 34 of
this Ordinance", the County overlooks this requirement.
Mr. Anderson pointed out this is an old ordinance, enacted
when lot sizes were larger and there were no sewers. The County usual-
ly overlooks this ordinance. The Planning Commission will ßither have
to go along with the County's thinking or deny this application.
Mrs. Childress assured the Commission there would be no adver-
tising on the property.
Comm. Snyder moved that application 30-u-63 for a Use Permit
be granted. Comm. Adamo seconded the motion.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small, Snyder,
NAYS: None Frolich

Comm. Leonard proposed the Ordinance be brought up-to-date.
However, Mr. Anderson advîsed thîs be carrîed over untîl after the
first of the year, when all the ordinances will be reViel'¡ed and brought
up-to-date.
F. HOWARD V. HORNE: Appl. 31-U-63 for a Use Permit. Property
zoned R-l. Use Permit sought for a realty office for owner;
20396 Clifden Way.
Mr. Horne stated he resides at subject address and is permit-
ted to use his home as his personal office. He does not employ any-
one on the premises; he has a telephone secretarial serVlce that takes
care of all his calls. He is required, however, by the Real Estate
Commission to have a small sign by his front door stating his name and
occupation, which he would lilce to put in his front window.
Comm. Leonard cautioned that so often these quiet real estate
offices become expanded in the future and that tight restrictions are
in order now.
Comm. Small moved the hearing be closed. Comm. Adamo seconded.
AYES: Comm.· Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small, Snyder,

V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. None
VI NEW BUSINESS
A. Mr. Jack Dietz, of the Somerset development on Blaney,
wished to apply for a variance of a few inches on two of his lots.
His concern was of the time element in going through the proper chan-
nels.
Comm. Leonard observed these variances were negligible and
wonders whether a public hearing is necessary, or if it can be put
directly on the agenda for the next meeting.
Moved by Commissioner Leonard, seconded by Commissioner Small
that the variance previously granted in this subdivision be amended
to include Lots 5 & 6 of Tract No. 3149.
AYES: Comm.: Adamo, Fitzgerald, Leonard, Rampy, Small,
Snyder, Frolich

B. Comm. Adamo stated that the Scofield widening has been
accomplished and the new stop sign is in. However, he expressed
concern that the vision is impaired by a building at the corner of
Highway 9 and Scofield at the stop sign.
Mr. Shoolc submitted a letter to the Commission, for their
approval, to be sent to the County Planning Commission regarding the
redevelopment of the Monta Vista area. Approval ,granted.
