IV DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE CONTRACT WITH COUNTY PLANNING STAFF:
The type of work. to be provided by the proposed planning aide was
discussed; such matters as zoning and subdivision ordinanoes, map
making, master planning and speoific cases were considered to be
within the scope of such professional help. Commissioner Paizis
moved that the Planning Commission recommend that the Counoil
negotiate such a contract with the County Planning Staff;
seconded by Commissioner Bell and carried 5 - o.
V REPORT ON HIGHWAY MEETING:
It was the concensus of the Planning Commission that the City
Council should tell the Board of Supervisors that the City favors
a change in the County Master Plan.
The Stevens Creek Freeway hearing on August 2nd at Fremont
High School indicated that the State intended to route the Free-
way according to their prior plans. The protests registered by
Mountain View and Cupertino will be (apparently) to no avail.
During the hearing Karl Belser stated that Cupertino had reg1s-
tered no previous protests to the routing of the Freeway.
VI CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE POLICY ON SERVICE STATIONS:
One trend of thought on this question advanced the notion that
service station permits might be conditioned on additional
commerc1al development to be construoted in a shopping center. ,
Another idea was that the Planning Commission could simply approve
or reject any service station applications on its own merits,
depending upon the feeling of the Planning Commission as to the
desirability of the proposed location. If the Planning Commission
is skeptical of the location, they are entitled to reject the
application.
VII MISCELLANEOUS:
It was moved bY Commissioner Cali that the Planning Commission
submit the filing cabinet bill for Council approval; seconded
by Commissioner Paizis and carried 5 - O.
