HEARINGS SCHEDULED:
A. GRADING, EXCAVATION AND RETAINING WALL ORDINANCES
(214A-140A). Second Hearing continued.
The Director of Public Works said that, although the last
regular Planning COl;lmission meeting could not be held for
lack of a quorum, nevertheless, he and Mr. Phil J. Eldredge,
Executive Secretary of the Peninsula Chapter of Engineering
& Grading Contractors Assoco went over thejr comments, point
by point, that were outlined in his letter to the City
Engineer, dated April 9, 1965. They were able to come to
an agreement on all items.
Chairman Gates asked for comments from the audience. There
were none,
Chairman Gates said that he does not like the idea of a 6'
wall 1" away from the property line or the sidewalk. The
Director of Public Works said that in many cases, this
must be done in order to develop property, especially as we
get into the foothill properties. This Ordinance dis-
courages timber retaining walls, also.
In regard to an Appeal Procedure, Comm. Johnson said that
any procedure that is satisfactory to the City Council and
recommended by the City Staff and approved by the City
Council would be appropriate.

The appeal procedure is alrea.dy set up unèH~r the Verbal

to determine.

D. CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE: Application for a Use
Permit for a church site; south of McClellan Road
between Stelling Road and Kim Street.
-7-
Mr. Dlck Pacheco, 1960 The Ale.meda, San Jose, the realtor
handling the property, distributed maps of the property
his client is purchasing i'rom St. Jude 'rhe Apostle Church,
It is bordered on the south, east and north by residential
and the St. Jude '1'110 Apost1e on the westo
The Director of Planning poiDted out tHO complications here:
1. A church should not be constructed so close to a pro-
perty line that it VJould overshadow an existing or
future residence.
2. In order to develop the rE.:nidential area east of the
proposed site as zoned, into 10,000 sq. fto lots, you
would have to put in a street, either by tearing down
an existi.ng l"csidence or through the church property.
He said the City would have an obligation to see to it
that the prope:'ty owners can get in there. The church should
not pay for it; those who will bcneflt by this should pay
for the street. Be believes the church can arrange the
necessar"J parking spaces anyway. He presented a memo con-
taining proposed conditions .and also copies of earlier
proceedings on this parcel.
Mr. Pacheco said they are very much opposed to putting in
a 40' street. The maximum amount of property they can
purchase from St. Jude The Apostle is 2.65 acres. The
.street would be of no benefit to the church and it would
take some of their property which they feel they definitely
need to allow for future expansion.
The Director of Public Works said we have here a division
of land. Under that conditlon, it would seem in order to
require a Tentative Map.
The City Attorney said that, for some reason, we have never
applied this to churches in Cupertino.
The Director of Planning r'ecomrnended that the Use Permit,
if granted, should contain the following conditions:

to buy right-of-way for an access street withi.n one
year, for a reasonable price, and to construct this
street at any time. In case this street is not to be
used for purposes of the church, the street shall have
a width of 40' and be located immediately west of the
property line; the church not to share any of the cost
for this street. If the church wishes to use the
street for access or parking, the section of the sec-
tion of the street shall be approved by the Dir. of
Public Works and the Dir. of Planning, and the church
shall contribute 1/2 of the cost for ri.ght-of-way and
construction.

A. Chairman Gates announced that the City Council voted
to deny the application that the Planning Commission
had recommended for approval on the "::,pot zoning" on
North Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road.
He asked the Commissioners what they felt could be
done about the spot zoning of small lots along the
major thoroughfares in Cupertinoo
One possibility would be to go up and down the
thoroughfares and zone those properties PC-H, as was
brought out at the Council meeting. Chairman Gates
felt this might be the solution to the problem.
Comm. Traeumer suggested they start with a specific area,
in order to study the ramifications of such a move,
The City Attorney cited cases where this has been done.
Chairman Gates feels this is worthy of staff study.
