ooted that the City o:::urv:il granted a Master use Penni": for Vallco Mall; however, late eveni.rq entertainment activity and restaurants with bars continue to require irxlividual. use permits.
One of the few issues involved in ·~is application is traffic circulation within the ce...11ter. A proposed .-:ondition will enable Staff and the A:[::plicant to worlc together to fin:l dE:si.gn solutions. Access for· b:ucks in service docks is also of concern. Mr. CoWan pointed out the potential traffic oon;Jestian points. In su.mnary, Staff supports the AWlication subject to Conditions Of Approval,
Can. Ada:ms noted c:mcern that trucks have inadequate space in the loading

ITEM 1 (Cont'd)
Mr. Graen stated that Vallco is tmique anong their holdin;Js; it is a well planned shewing canter; ~tfield is canmitted to maintain this level .of quality and to ~ every effort to canpliment the facilities there. 'Ihere is no need to change architectural style or the quality of interior
treat:Joont already existin;J.
'Ibis is the first of a phased develcpnent plan which will add another level of shcpping area ru'rl will acc::amrodate approx.i.mately 90, 000 sq. ·ft. of speciality shcps. '!he additional oojective is to attract a major
deparboont store to tlw corner of Wolfe Rd. Expansion is necessa:ry and important.
Mr. Ten.y Ferrero, Project Architect, preserrted a detailed plan of the new shoppin:J area, adjacent parking structu.i;e, Bel:Vice an::l loadi.-,g areas. He
responde:::1 to questions f:ran the canmissioners regardi!l'J traffic circulation patterns, pedestrian access f1-an parkirq structures, exits
frc:rn the shopping center, truck loadirq docks arx:l service elevators, safet:y a:ncerns for pedestrians (cru.ldl"'en) in areas aC!jacent to truck·
loading and unloaclincJ areas, an::l location of trash containers.
In response to the safety carx::ems raised by air. Szabo, Mr. Green interjected that the lOOGt effective tcx::>l is to restrict delivery times to early m::>n·iing hoo.rs. Mechanisms under consideration would be use of a
gate to restrict access to times before the Mall is q;ien. After initial stockin;J of a new store, smaller trucks can often be used to make deliveries. sezvice docks were located on the plans. Can. Adams stated his conoem reg-dl:'d.in:J the two sites where truck loading areas ~
pedestrians roay come in contact with each other; he asked that this situation be remedJed.
In response to can. Claudy's question, Mr. Green stated that retailing has
charqed--current retailers obtain oore productivity rut of space. In , addition, occupancy cost in CP..nters has risen, directly related to land
arrl buil~ costs; thus, in:lividual retail store space is smaller. Typical desired space wculd be 30 ft. by 80 ft; Vallco has 30 ft. by 150
ft. Also, the center needs synergism between the stores. This explains
the way the expansioo was designed.
Mr. Ferrero aitl.ined the plans for the Mall, use of open space and
skylights, an::l mate:dals used. Open space e.liminated on the first floor will be relocated for use of ccmnunity and holiday events on the lower level. In response to cam. Sorerisen' s question, the applicants stated
that there should be parkirq avd.ilable 80 -90% of the time with the
exception of the Christnas season. Com • .Ad.ams concurred with concenis regardin::; parking arrl suggested notifyin::J patrons when any specific

Ms. Jane Bierstedt, Barton Aschman Associates, presented the series of tables used to estima:ta the traffic resul·.:ing fran the proposed expansion
of Vallco Park. She estimated that the expansion will generate 300 new trips durin;J the "P.M. Peak hoo.r. can. Macken.de noted that an ave.rage rate was used for the entire center, applyirg even to mrginal space; thus the figures are a conse:t:Vative asmnrq;:Jt.ion.
To evaluate the impact of added tra:t.:fic, an intersection level of Service calculation was canpleted. calculations were mada at several intersections arx:l. added to the traffic gerP ... rated by the expansion; she
present.Erl the results of thesB calculations as noted in tr.a Barton ABchman Report, concluding that all intersections are operating at accept.able
leve.ls of service. In response to can. Claucly's question, Ms. Bierstedt stated that re..<:>.idential neighbc:thocds were evaluated on a :regional basis. Traffic was assigned on the relat.ive location of the neighborhoods.

Dr. David R. McQ:lwarl questia.00 stateroonts made regardirq traffic evaluations an:l noted that Vallco is above the average in prcx:lucin;r sales; thus traffic pattern data reported wculd be extrerooly conservative. He
~ that nuch IOC1re traffic would be g~ted than ai;:peared in th.$ reports.
can. Claudy SUtm1arized the~issues as:
-General oorx::eptual issue of expansion into the urrle:rgrourrl parking an:l the building of another parking garage. Consen.....c-us by the Commission
would probably be re.ached on this issue. -Traffic and. safety aspects related to traffic and delivery. '!his is the most controversial issue.
cam. Claudy is favorable to the conceptual expansion of Vallco arxi felt t.hat this expansion ~d in;>rove the shopping center as a whole. He
expressed cx:n::em rega.rdin:J the placing of park.in;J in the rose.bowl area as an intennediate solutioo. He fUrt:her mcpressed cx:mcel."'11 reganilrq access an:l safety r:;f the loadirq docks.

He noted that the original Use Penni t, 6-U-73, Item 18, an:l. stated that Vallco has done an excellent job of fulfilling this requirement over the years; he asked that Staff reassess the monetary figv.res at this time. Also, :regard.irq con.iltion 35 of 6-U-73, the Ccmnissioner asked that an update of the Traffic solution Stud.y be completed.
can. Sorensen concurred with the above and noted her oance:rn :regardirXJ the safety and other aspects of the tunnel. She favored l:::W.ldirq of the parkin;J garage first an:l elevators provided for the han:ilcai:ped an:i for
small children. She camnented that Vallco is seen in the camnrunity as a wann ar.d invi tin; shq::p:i.rq center.
cam. Mackenzie also favored further, inf orrnal review of the tunnel and
st.root alignment. Cllr. Szabo concllrrf"..d that the conceptual plan· was excellent; he asked that the tradition of Vallco be maintained for the citizens of CUpertino.
Mr. Co.Yan suggested that the Commission caild awrove the Use Pentdt arrl place :\ Condition that on-si.t.t>. ciJ.i:::ulation will be reviewed by Staff

Mr. CcMar1 stated that the camni.ssion will be considerirq sane charqes to the site plan an:l architecture for this develq::mant. '!he At:pl.icants have

'Ihe site plan chan;es are the reorientatioo of the service yard, elimination of treesover a oorrluit at the request of the water District, and orientation of the port-cachere.
Mr. Cowan pointed out ~ changes in d~ign and materia,ls proposed f'.~r the upper levels of the structure. He called attention to the report fran the
ASAC ~ held earlier in the eveni.rq. '!be Applicant was asked to

this time. Ha ~"ited a series of drawir:gs and. a thl."00 dimensional.
model of the prc:pose:i hotel.
With respect to site chan;,re.a, Mr. M:>ore Ert.ated that rem:wal of trees has
been required by the Water District; there is concern that roots. of the.
trees will invade the cove.rt ani de.stroyit'X] the covert. In addition, "the Water District is cx:>nce.rned abcut the load placed on the culvert by a dooble n::M of trees and. the possible coot of work required in the culvert. 'Ihe solution arrive:l at lTIUtually with tl1e Water District is a
benn alOI'X] F.in::tl Ave. of shrub materials which will act as a la.I'ldscape screen.

Parkway; modification of this area facilitates the~ of tiucks in /
the service yard an:J. relieves traffic prcl:>le.rrs on Vallco Parkway.
'Ihe other site issue is the entry ard the port cochere; the Fire Marshal
