Mr. Severin, from the audience, displayed plans to the Commission
for a convelescent home on the southwest corner of San Juan and Mt. View-
Stevens Creek Road. This home would have 60 beds. The property is now
in the County and zoned for residential. A home of this type would re-
quire commercial zoning.
Commissioner Leonard stated that this type of application usually
creates controversy within a residential area. He then outlined to
Mr. Severin the type of questions that will be asked when this is a
formal application, and suggested that all these questions be resolved
and presented at the time of application to avoid delay and to give a
clear picture of the application in its entirety.
Commissioner FitzgeI~ld commented that this proposed project is
almost directly across the street from the proposed small-type Disney-
land.
Commissioner Frolich, upon a comment made by Mr. Severin, asked
Mr. Storm if the City could extend water service to this property. Mr.
Storm said the City definitely could.
Additional presentation of this project brought,out the following:
This is a taxable project; there will be little, if any, traffic, as
the patients will retire early and visiting hours a~e restricted; the
area involved is 2,42 acres.
Commisoioner Leonard suggested that the applicants be given a
check list to aid them in answering questions later when the application
is formally presented,
Mr. Severin was given a copy of the check list.
There were no other verbal communications.
V HEARINGS SCHEDULED:

Mr. Victor Calvo, 1880 Fordham Way, Re, V:'.f'w., stated that this re-
zoning is for the purpose of construct:'.ng a ."etRil store which wLlJ.
carry a c:omplete line of ilardware and b1.'2.1d:J.r,,:' materials for the do-it-
yourself hc,¡;¡eovmers., 'I'he land in qt;estLm has not œe:1 bought by the
developers, but is on a long-term lease from r1r, Otis Forge, the owner_
Mr. Calvo stated that he woulÜ be willing to 'lilve the zoning of
this property changed in the future to whatever :zon:',ng the Ctty might
then have that would be more applicable than r1·,1-H for this type of
project.
Mr. Calvo further stated that due to the fact this is a retail
. business there would bè very little outside atorage. Immediately out·,
side and surroundi:og the building the land .'¡ill be paved; the. rest of
the area will be gravel's1.U'faced, and the entire pOl tion of the proper-
ty to be developed now would be completely fenced.
Commissioner Small ask-"d tile City Attorney if this application
could be handled through the C-l or C-2 zoning with a use permit. Mr.
Anderson replied that it c01.'.ld net,; it would be far better to handle
this as an M-I-H use.
Discussion of the proposed Junipero Serra Freeway brought out the
fact that this development would not cause a traffic hazard nor inter-
fere with the traffic pattern.
Mr. Calvo presented a petition, signed by the surrounding property
owners who are in assent to this project, to the Commission.

Commissioner Adamo asked Mr. Calvo about storm drainage. Mr.
Calvo stated he had spoken to the City Engineer and had been advised that
there would be no storm drain problem on this property. He also stated
that the building will be about 8,000 square feet in area, and that he
would like to have a shake roof on it but does not now know if this is
possible as the Building Inspector is working on this problem.
Mr. Calvo, upon question from the Commission, reiterated that he
would gladly put in writing his desire to go along with the City request
of a zone change in the future, should the City then have a more applic-
able zoning ordinance for this type of project.

onded by Commissioner Frolich.
