WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Martin Madson, 6077 Wellfelt Way, San Jose, submitted
a.copyof "Important Information for the Greater West San
Jose Area Homeowners", which he asked to be discussed
under Verbal Communications.
v
VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS
A. A representation of home owners in the Cupertino and
western San Jose area, bounded by the triangle of
Highway 85, Saratoga Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd.,
appeared before the Planning Commission with infor-
mation concerning rezoning by the city of San Jose,
of property at Bollinger and Miller, to commercial,
high-rise and cluster development. The property
owners were requesting the Cupertino Planning Com-
mission to write to the City of San Jose Planning
Commission on their behalf in opposing this zoning,
since the proximity of the development to the City of
Cupertino would affect many of its residents.
The City Attorney pointed out that the City of Cupertino
has no agreement with the City of San Jose, and it would
be presumptious on the part of the Planning Commission to
inte.rfere with the City of San Jose's ordinances or rulings.
Chairman Gates added that in accordance witþ the advice of
the City Attorney, the Planning Commission could take no
action on this request, but he. wanted to assure this rep-
rese·ntation that the Planning Commission of Cupertino is
interested in the welfare and wishes of its residents.
Comm. Traeumer pursued this matter further. The City
Attorney said it would embarass the City if we protested
rezonings, etc. in another .ci ty, except under two con-
ditions: 1) if the City of Cupertino owned property in
another City, in which case we woúldhave·the same right
to be heard as the citizens of that city, 2) if we have
a mutual agreement with a city to·.refer items of joint
interest to each other, such as we do have with the
County of Santa Clara.

Chairman Gates said he regretted that the Commission
could take no direct action on the petition presented
tonight, but hoped this Minute Order would accomplish
something for the future.
B. Mr. Espinosa, with ALD Company of 1675 Rollins Rd.,
Burlingame, said his company is in the coin-operated
car wash business, and they are interested in in-
stalling a car wash in this area. They have been
unable to get information regarding suitable and
acceptable locations, and would like advice from·
the Commission. Chairman Gates advised Mr. Espinosa
to discuss this with the Planning Director during the
break this evening or after the meeting. (Note: ~IT.
Espinosa did not seek out the Planning Director for
information; perhaps he was answered by denial of
Application l3-U-65 for a car wash, under Item VI-C).
VI HEARINGS SCHEDULED:
A. MASON ENTERPRISES: Application for Rezoning from
R-l:B-2 to R-2-H, 10 acres between Blaney Ave. and
Portal Ave., north of Stevens Creek Blvd. Second
Hearing.
Chairman Gates recapped the highlights of the first hear-
ing, and asked for comraents from the Commission and the
audience.
Mr. Stephen Dorcich of 1888 W. San Carlos, San Jose, ask8d
if the applicant intends to build duplex or multiple units,
and added that some years ago the developers built a COi.ll-
plex of stores on Stevens Creek and Blaney. Many mer-
chants bought into the complex with -che undeì's;:.antlir:PJ"·h",t
the developer would build multiple units in the area.
Mr. Dorcich indicated he was in favor of this development,
and said that the merchants wóuld like to see some sort
of development there.

PC-R16 Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, September 13, 1965
------------------~-------------------------------------------------.--
Mr. Richard Nebel of 10226 Portal Avenue questioned the
applicant about the development abutting school property.
Chairman Gates pointed out that the issue is the rezoning
only. .
Mr. Robert Jacobs, 19185 BayWood Drive, stated that an·
application for town houses on this property at one time
w~s made by CPM Developers, and wondered of CPM still had
any connection with it. Comm. Traeumer answered that it
has not. Mr. Jacobs continued that he still objects to
the duplexes and feels the one-family home area is being
hemmed in by apartments. He can understand that the mer··
chants want a development in the area; however, there is
a conflict in the expectations of the home owners and the
merchants - the residents feel there is no advantage in
duplex zoning, and the density is about the same for
duplexes and townhouses. Some years ago the residents
presented a petition to the City Council, with 500 sig-
natures of"liomè'owners in the area objecting to multiple
zoning, and they feel the situation now is basically the
same, and they oppose it~
Mrs. Juanita McLaren, 22101 Lindy Lane, Cupertino, repre-
sentingthe land owners and. the developer, reviewed the
Cupertino General Plan of 1985, adopted by the City
Council in 1964, and pointed out that this Plan shows a
medium density of 7.3-10.0 units per net acre for this
particular area. The developer did not. submit his appli-
cation for rezoning until after the General Plan had been
adopted. She added that the City will be growing, and the
density will necessarily be changed in the future because
of economic pressure caused by increased price of land.
The developer is now applying for 41 duplexes, or 82 units,
on Ilt acres. There is a great demand for duplexes at
present, which will enable parties who do not have a large
income ·to buy a building to livèin and rent the other
unit. The location and proximity to the future Vallco
Park and to Stevens Creek Blvd. business area will mean
less traveling distance for residents in the development.
The developer and landowners would appreciate if there
were no further delay in deciding on this rezoning.
Mr. Catron, 10153 Dennison Avenue, said he understands
some of the business area has not developed as the mer-
chants· had planned, and wondered if the purpose in de-
veloping the area with multiple units was to bring more
people to shop in this shopping center.
George O'Brien, 10214 Portal Avenue, asked about com-
parative depths from Portal towards Blaney; Chairman Gates
answered that the park area is 290' x'668' ,the: residentÜ,]
area is 520' x 417'.

PC-R16 rftnutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, September 13,1965
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Jacobs w/lnted tQ c:J.a.rify Mrf3. McLsTen's report, and
explained that at a previous home owners' meeting, the.
residents had been assured by Mr. Tersini, who was rep-
resenting the developers at that time, that the area
would not be zoned to multiple again, but only to R-l use.
(Note: This maybe a misunderstanding. The previous
application was for clustered one-family homes with the
same density as a duplex zone, not as a multiple zone.)
Mr. W.Linn, 10168 Dennison Ave., stated he opposed duplex
units in this .area. He said multiple units have not
·carried their fair share of ·the tax burden, and believes
they will only increase the school burden; Portal School
was not designed or planned with that in mind.
Charles Alexander, 10275 Portal Avenue, questions the
reasoning behiod R-2 use in the area, with the school on
one .side and residential on each side - R-2 is normally
used as a buffer, what are 'they trying .to buffer from?
One home owner has already put his home up for sale since
there has been a discussion of a z:one change to duplex
across the street, and has been unable to sell it. Is
the park area being cut down to bring in the duplex area?
Chàirman Gates answered that any action taken by the Plan-
ning Commission is to preserve the park as it is shown in
the drawings. Mrs. McLaren added that on June 9th the
City Council voted to malΠan exchange of property in
order to make the park a buffer for people who were ob-
jecting to the rezoning.
Norman Stine, 20948 Alves Drive, stated that he had gotten
the impression from listening to the arguments that most
of the people objecting to this rezoning feel the area
should be zoned to R-l, in order not to increase the popu-
lation of school children, and to prevent proximity of
private residences to multiple dwellings. Can the popu-
lation explosion be held down? Do these home owners ob-
ject to being near a school and. the noise, or to a park.
In his opinion, the arguments are contradictory. Chair-
man Gates commented that in his opinion the park and the
school would make the area more desirable.
Mrs. Anger, 10185 Empire Avenue, Cupertino, asked what
makes the residents feel duplex units would bring in
more children? Whmyoung couples are first married they
generally live in rental units; then when they have
children they purchase their own homes.
Mr. Indn, 19834 Baywood !)rive, aslŒd if the Commission
was going to vote on this application tonight, and if so,
does Comm. Traeumer, who is .associated with CPM and a
former developer of this property plan to abstain - can
he in good conscience vote on this? Chairman Gates
-5-
PC,-R16 Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, September 13, 1965
--~.--------------------------------------------------------------------
answered that Comnl. Traeumer is in a position to supply
more information than either Comm. Johnson or Chairman
Gates. He is not now connected with the applicant, but
his previous 'mowledge will be beneficial to the Plan-
ning Commission.
Dick Cameron, 19763 Dr., commented that the park is
narrowed down to a small strip - what does the City hç¡,ve
in mind for the park. Is it to be used as a ball park,
just a piece of land, or what are the City's plans? He
added that this park will be overrun with children from
the duplexes - the park was built for one-family resi-
dences, not for a dnit of duplexes. Chairman Gates
replied that judging from another parK where a more
elongated shape was judged acceptable, 290 ft. width
for a park of 5 acres area should be usable.
Mr. Stocl;:meir, 22012 Stevens CreeK Blvd. said he lived
at the other end of Stevens Creek Blvd. in the foothill
area near Deep Cliffe where they have a complex of tri·,
plexes with single family dwellings, and the triplexes
have all the appearance of single residences. He said
the doubts of the residents in the subject area are un-
founded, and he cannot see if the duplexes are pr0rF.rly
built how they would interfere with aesthetic values,
or be objectionable.
Herman Meyer, 19787 Wheaton, repeated that the residents
had been promised that the opposite side of the street
would be zoned R-l, and believes people should be alerted
to the fact that there is a great difference in R-l and
multiple zoning.
Moved by Comm. Johnson, seconded by Comm. Traeumer, to
close the public hearings.
Motion carried, 3-0
The Planning Director stated that the General Plan does
show a density corresponding to R-2-H for this area. He
feels there is a need for R-2-H use for this area in the
City, and the proposed area is entirely screened from
the þresent R-l development.
Chairman Gates said this application will set a pre-
cedent for a wider area, limited by Portal Avenue,
Stevens CreeK Blvd, Vista Drive, and Forest Avenue, and
asked the Planning Director if he would recommend R-2
for this entire area. The Planning Director stated that
this larger area is mostly undeveloped, now zoned R·,l :B-2
except for C--l-H and R-3-H along Stevens Creek Blvd., and
indicated for 7 to 10 dwelling units per net acre in the
General Plan; he would recommend R-2-H density for this
area, but would prefer a cluster development with varied
types of dwellings rather than straight R-2-H over the
entire area.

Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, Sept. 13, 1965
Comm. Johnson asked: "If no park .had been located in
that area, what would the proper density have been? If
40 acres were rez:oned to R-2-H, would the City put a
park in the middle of that area? Is it judicious to
locate a park next to an R-2 or R-3 z:one? What would
the parking situation be?" Comm. Johnson further ques-
tioned the applicant's statement that if single-family
residences were to be built the cost would have to be
from $60,000 to $70,000 in that area. He saw noadvan-
tage in rezoning from R-l to. R-2-~.
,. ~.
Comm. Tra,eumerstateq, that parks in most large cities
are used by.lnhabita·nts of multiple dwellings, which is
most proper. The General Plan is gearedto~ard an
average density of area, which may be cbmposed of R-l,
R-2 and R-3 areas. The traffic has leäsened considerably
in this area sinêe Wolfe Road was extended, which should
have a bearing on the rezoning. The area is set back
far. enough and does not create a use that:ì.s incomþat1tJ1e
. to the area, and he doesnot·'beiieve the R-2 z:oning
would be adisâdvantage. . .
..
, - !,;,'.
Comm. Johnson· pointed out that as Cupertino has only
5 parks, should oné of them be located near an R-2 or
R-3 area? Do we want one of the 5 parks, ~inanced by
residents of the area,; to be used by.tra.nsient renters?
There is no public necessity for this.
The City Attorney explained thatpa,st practice in the
State Planning Act recommends that a 3/5 vote of the.
entire body be required for approval of any mötion on
the agenda. ,If there were 5 members present and 3
voted for the motion,· it .cQuld be passed, but since
there are only 3 members present, 1 "No" vote would in
effect be a denial. If all rights could be better
served with all 5 members present, perhaps ,this applica-
tion should be tabled tonight; (The applicant preferred
to have the application put to a vote..) .
Moved by Comm. Johnson, seconded by Chairman Gates,
that application 10-z-65 be denied for reasons brought
out in the previous discussion.

NEW BUSINESS
CITY PLANNER: Emergency Ordinance Regulating Home
Occupations.
Chairman Gates related an incident concerning homeoccupa-
tions which occurred in Sunnyvale recently. A family
moved into a neW home in an above average neighborhood, and
applied for a business license to operate a beauty parlor
in the hòme. Five members of the family are all employed
as operators. Regardless of opposition and Petitions of
the neighbors, this family is proceeding with plans for
this venture. Chairman Gates said that Sunnyvale is in a
difficult situation because their ordinance covering this
is not specific, or· binding. Chairman Gates instructed
the Planning Director to check further with the Sunnyvale
Planning Department.
Chairman Gat'es added that he had asked the Planning Director
to prepare a draft for an emergency ordinance for the City
of Cupertino which will protect the City in circumstances
such as this. He then proceeded to d.iscUBS thiS draft j
which had been submitted to the Commission in advance.
To General Requirements, it was suggested the following
sentence be added: ".....; and provided that such occupa-
tion is not detrimental to the health, safety, public
welfare and property values in the neighborhood."
Under Standards, item (f) Signs: Delete, and replace with
the following: "No signs indicating a home occupation
shall be allowed."
Under Standards, item (g) Advertising: Opinions of the
Planning Commission were divided. On one hand it was
thought that this paragraph would be a good way to prevent
too businesslike operations; on the other hand that the
restrictions would be impossible to enforce. It was
agreed to leave to the City Attorney to decide whether
this paragraph should be included or not.
Comm. Traeumer asked if this Ordinance could be discussed
at a study session. Chairman Gates said he felt this was
an emergency and it was important to complete the discus-
sions tonight and to submit the Ordinance to the City
Council for approval as soon as .possible.
Comm. Traeumer asked if home occupations could not be
processed through the Building Inspector, when business
licenses are issued. Comm. Johnson and the Planning
Director agreed that the Building Inspector would have to
have guidelines concerning restrictions and requirements
for home occupations, which must be subßtantiated with. a
z:oning ordinance.

Comm. Traeumer added tþa~ anY business license could be
revoked with a cause; could this not be done with one
sentence in the license permit? Chairman Gates agreed
that home occupations could be terminated either before
or after a license has been issued, but we must have
the grounds for revoking a l1cense,l1.nd.an ordinance
is needed for that reason.
The Planning Department staff was instructed to make
necessary corrections and additions and submit them
. to the City Attorney for his recommendations; then pre-
sent another draft to the Commission for the next
regular meeting, for final study before submitting it
to the' City Coúnèll.·' .

Comm. Johnson, that the City Council
be petitioned to enact an Emergency
Ordinance with the following content:
That, until the Planning CommiBsj,on. has· .
studied the proposed emergene-yordinance

Examples of these fea;:u:-es ê:~8 sh,::;,wn on the College Park GenerEl
Site Development Plan, Exhibit A. Ther2 v/.í..il be '::'20 dvv-ellE1g ur:its. All
unìts will have a 2 car garage, served £ro,,1 â dedicElled street. There will
be footpaths providing pedes trian circu12:ti.on throUi;hout College Park, as
shmvn here. There wil,l be a heavily :i:::;,dscapcd bo:·der along l'v1ùr¡ Avenue.
As you see f we have £011u,:,'8d y0'_;~. guièelinr3s in having alrr:.os t

8r.tr~"'.::1ce 'wh.ich vlill be- our mod81 homes.
V<[e have eliminated HÞX26 þ,II, t:-,2 8:J.ti:e 60 ac:-es for homes, re-
ducir:g our density Ïrom a proposed 960 'Llni~s p2rr:::itted by the zoning to 42.0 I
or a reduction of 57%. The 420 units is ba3ed on an. overe.ll average of 7
dwelling units per acre.
We have eliminated the nélrrOV! passages between detach8d build-
ings f as shown on Exhibit B.
Here we compare College Pêfk '!/ith a standard R-l development
of the same gross areê. Despite the difÙ::rence i~ the number of homes, we
act"Llally have less land covered by streets .:,;,d driveways 1 we have less
lëf.:.d covered by buildings, and we huV8 2l:LOS~ half oÎ the site area in use-
c.:ble open green and recreational area. YJ·c.;, 'Nill note thaI all College Park
homeowners have the full use of 'che 26 2C[¡~S of open green and recreational
area. In a s tanàard s ubdivis ion each ho:::cownG[ h25 the us e of a typical
rear yard of about 2200 square feet. He C;:~::'..:1ot jump ine fence to use the
yard of any other owner. These Íi;rures poj,-~t out the lzey benefits of our
plênned community des ign and cleêrly ¿err,c:,.stra:e what 2're the basic com-
ponents of the superior environmen: V.'8 ¿;:;:'~ you to approve.
The interior streets ènd drive\V,~'/s h2ve bee::1 des igned to provide
in addition to the 2 cars in each g¿fage I ¿~":è.itior:.al p3.rking for an average
of a t leas t 2 more cars per home.
As proof of the adequacy of our s::rs&t widths I we show this
picture of Harrison Way, a fairly D8\') suc;,:;:: in :vIer:.lo Park., As you can see,
there is ample room Íor a car parked on ~oth sides of the street and 2 moving
lanes.
The street shown mea.sures 31 feet 10 inches - 2 feet 2 inches
less than what we propose for cuI de Sê:CS êmò short loop streets.
The comparison with this and other sections is shown here.
Section DD, for short cuI as 56GS I has the same dimensions for
pErking and moving lanes as Section CC which are clearly ample.
The adequacy of 11 foot moving lanes for '[he main drive is seen
£ro:;1 the comparison shown. As additior,¿:l proof, it should b8 r;ot8d -,:r;a;.: the
