NEW BUSINESS
4.. Consideration of initiation of hearing to amend General Plan
regarding 2.33 acres located southerly of Stevens Creek Blvd..
approximately 120 feet easterly of Stelling Road, adjacent to
Cupertino Union Church.
The Planning Director identified the properties on the map on the
bulletin board. He referred to details in the September 5, 1975,
staff report and the August 27, 1975, letter from'M . Leo J. Bianchi,
20731 Carniel Avenue, Saratoga, California; owner of the properties.
Although the staff recommended against an amendment to the General
Plan here, there is the possibility that Mr. Bianchi`s plan for
housing for the elderly may be considered for attaining a social
goal and thus qualify for the 16 units per acre he is requesting
Mr. Leo Bianchi stated that a single --family development here would
be economically unfeasible. This location is ideal for housing
for the elderly because it is within walking distance of all the
services needed Although there is a school nearby, it relates to'
the single-family residential to the east rather than, -this property.
Chairman Gatto explained the statement in the Infilling General
Plan that would allow density increases if the development attained
a social goal, and it.would not be necessary to rezone the propert
nor to amend the General Plante
Mr. Bianchi said his desire -is to develop something for the elderl
at about.16 units per.acre. He was advised to contact the staff
for direction as to how to proceed with his plans.
