Blaine moved for approval of 3-TM-79 with the Standard #1 to #14 Conditions; Conditions #15 and #16 in accordance with the Staff Reports and the findings and con- clusions of the Staff Report. Second: Com. Claudy VOTE: Absent: Unanimous Ch. Gatto AGENDA ITEM #2 CITY OF CUPERTINO: Public Hearing to consider the adoption of a Comprehensive General Plan for the City of Cupertino's Sphere of Influence includ- int territory involved in the proposed San Jose Boundary Transfer. Said ?lan shall include the following elements: Land Use, Housing, Open Space/Conservation, Seismic Safety, Public Savety, Noise, Circulation and Scenic Highways, and ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Environmental Review Com- mittee recommends the granting of a Negative Declaration. Continued Public Hearing, Vice Ch. Koenitzer asked Assistant Planning Director Cowan to introduce the 1st Draft of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Cupertino. Assistant Planning Director Cowan pointed out that the 1st Draft represented a lot of work completed by the Planning Commission over six to eight month's time, and he said the Plan was now ready in a package for the Com- mission and the City Council to use as a tool for sys- I tematically evaluating decisions on an application by I application basis as a means of assessing capital improve- ment programs for the City. He advised the Commission ,. that this 1st Draft (hurriedly put together to meet dead- lines) was being presented with the understanding that a Final Draft would be forthcoming. He reminded the members that numbers will change, the City's philosophy will re- flect change, and relationships of one project to another ¡would change. He said the column to the right of each page would be annotated (in the Final Draft) to indicate ¡relationships between various sections. He assured the . Commission that cross-referencing would also be added. I ¡Vice Ch. Koenitzer suggested that as a format for the review of the assembled 1st Draft that they go through it section by section, making comments, s~ggestions, and such changes and additions as necessary. After each section, he said the public would be asked if they wished I to comment. , ¡Assistant Planning Director Cowan said he wished to call the Commission's attention to Page 1-6 and the very impor- Itant Key Assumptions upon which the 1st Draft was based. IHe said the Staff felt it was important for those assumptions ; I I ~¡NUTtS OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEET G to be stated. He explained that demographi~ infor- mat~on~ economic assumptions. figures for computations within the sections of the Plan would change from yea to year, and much updating vould be required from year to year, the review taking place in October, and the re-evaluation resulting in total updating of the General Plan. In addition to the items mentioned abov , which would reflect changes, he said he wished to re- mind the Commissioners that closings of schools, in- ability to continue support of present parks and/or additional parks, and continued acquisition through annexation, and restri~tions/projections of Propositio #13 would require concentrated investigation and reso lution in the future. Although these were only a fev areas of future interest, he said he mentioned them to give the Commission a feel for the on-going General Plan. Vice Ch. Koenitzer suggested going through the 1st Draft, permitting the publi~ to provide comment after the ~ompletion of each section. GENERAL PLAN, SECTION 1 LAND USE/COMMUNITY CHARACTER Page l-6, Com. Blaine suggested a statement on housing needs trending dovn (residents/household), but trendin~ upward in need for housing units (units/thousand of ! population). Page 1-7, Com. Blaine asked if footnotes could be put in to identify single family areas on pages 1-6 and 1-7. Page 1-7, Com. Adams suggested the same footnoting be used in identifying industrial/~ommercial areas, the residential areas often being adjacent to them. He felt this would be helpful in locating jobs near housing. Page 1-8, Vice Ch. Koenitzer referred to Section 7-7. Two assumptions were included in Se~tion 7 but did not seem to be in Section 1 vith Key Assumptions. He sug- gested adding them before Lif.estyle Trends in Section Vice Ch. Koenitzer commented on reduction of figures in tables and maps to the point of their being unread- able. He hoped that a different method or system ~ould be used on the Final Draft of the General Plan. Com. Blaine asked for a review of previous decisions on land use in six or seven key areas. Or, she said, some distinquishing footnote could be in~orporated in- to the 1st Draft Revision. The Commissioners had a general discussion of various PC-310 Page 3 INUTE.S. OJ: THE. JUNE. 18, 19-79. }1E.E.TI..NG OJ: THE. J,'LANNI..Nq COMM:SSION PC-3l0 Page 4 area densities, traffic problems, impacts of various ingress and egress routes into developed or developing areas, the State plans for extension of West Valley J:reeway (which included reference to many of ··the prob- lems of access, noise, and elevations of the route); and several specific properties affected within the areas. Assistant Planning Director Cowan pointed out that the discussion was covering areas they had already reviewed and visited on their Field Trip.(s). Vice Ch. Koenitzer invited the public to speak to the Section 1 of the 1st Draft of the City of Cupertino General Plan. PUBLIC HEARING Mr. Kenneth Lee, 2845 Moorpark Avenue, Suite 208, San Jose, said that he believed that Area F-2 should be allowed to develop to higher density because of the physical shape of the lot (400 ft. length & 145 ft. width) being a considerable design problem for single family or cluster homes. He recommended about twenty to thirty-five units would be consistent with the neigh- borhood. Single family homes would leave a long narrow strip, would necessitate narrow streets, and would be placed close enough to the West Valley Freeway Extension, that meeting the 1975 Noise Standard might be impossible. Equity of ownership would change with annexation and that would make it economically unfeasible in today's market, he said. Mr. Lee advised the Commission that he had acquired a Site Development Permit from San Jose fifteen months previously, but that he had not started construction due to legal problems in acquiring the land. A map Mr. Lee mounted on the wall showed the density of the development he proposed to construct; and, he said, he was certain it would be pleasing to t~e City. Thanking the Commission for hearing him out, he asked for their consideration. Associate Planner Piasecki asked if the plan was act- ually approved and a Permit issued by the City of San ¡Jose. Mr. Lee said that it was issued in December of j1978. He pointed out that the architect's design for fifty-eight units was sound. He gave the Commissio~ers the specifics of the problems preventing constructiou to commence. City Attorney Kilian, when asked about the legal aspects of the situation, responded that Mr. Lee would have a vested interest and rights if he held a Building Permit and substantial construction had commenced -- provided the Permit had been taken out prior to July 2nd. Com. Blaine was advised that vested interest would accrue only to the Bui.ldi.ng Permi.t. MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN Com. Claudy asked Mr. Lee if he was talking about Lot F. Mr. Lee said that Lot F had been deve1oped, and his concern was with lots and , which were pointed out on the map exhibited. PC-3l0 Page 5 Vice Ch. Koenitzer thanked Mr. Lee for his comments and for sharing his concerns and problems with the Commissi n. Com. Adams asked if there could be a consideration for development other than housing. And, Assistant Plan- ning Director Cowan pointed out the lack of access; or, at least, he said, the Route 85 State options on ramps, elevations, ingress and egress points would keep the area in question pending firm action by'the State. Com. Blaine suggested the area could tolerate a higher density. However, Assistant Planning Director Cowan re minded her that a tentative decision had been reached 0 the area, which, of course, would be subject to the City Council review at the June 19th Joint Meeting. He said 10 to 20 would be fine on F-2, but 5 to 10 should be retained on the F-l area -- the recommendation of Staff. Speaker: (Identified as the Tour Cuide) said that Poppy-Gardens ide, rather than go through as Ccm. Claudy had suggested, should go into a cul-de-sac, turning down Cleo as shown, with a private street. Vice Ch. Koenitzer reminded them that they were getting into details, which no doubt were important, but only tentative in nature until more definitive information was forthcoming from the State as to routes, traffic flow, and connect streets. Assistant Planning Director Cowan concurred and pointed out that although the Plan had to be fairly precise, the ranges had to be fairly broad because the Circulation Plan would influence the final designations. Com. Claudy commented that it really changed the origin 1 decision by upping the density permitted in F-2, and it made the street the dividing line between 5 to 10 and 10 to 20. Assistant Planning Director Cowan asked that they go on to the remaining area, the G Series. G-l -- a piece of property about 1 acre adjacent to single family homes (suggested density of 5 to 10 range) was designed to be a transition into an area immediately to the east (with a commercial-residential mix of 10 to 20 unitsl acre). The Commissioners agreed it was consistent with decisions for property along Stevens Creek Boule- vard and the area of Wildflower Drive, west of Sunrise (with single family designation). A nursery takes up 1 1/2 acres of the site. PC-310 Page 6 MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN1 I Com. Claudy asked if it could be developed single famil~ with townhouses density at the upper end. It was agree1' that even at the high end the project could be designed to avoid privacy intrusion and interface. Lower high- residential would also be feasible. Assistant Planning Director Cowan called attention to the G-3 area on the map -- 3 acres, which he said was i1 process of consolidation. A Mrs. Morrissy, the owner of a home on one piece of the property, wished to live I out her natural life there. He advised that work was i going forward to develop different plans around her I property with the intent of eventually putting together a master plan for the parcels. I Vice Ch. Koenitzer said he could see no reason for I changing that plan. J Assistant Planning Director Cowan advised the Commissio that the completed General Plan would have all the num-j bers on both residential and commercial land. He ex- plained that omission of numbers came about, in some I cases, because they had received no requests for land- use information; and, in addition, he said there was I the question of new policy in the Plan and changes on the Map (in Minor categories), Zoning was not so much I the problem as Policy. He asked the Commission to com- ment on the built-in flexibility of the format used in the plan. The Commissioners agreed that the map reflected the areas fairly. As for details, they also agreed that after adoption of the General Plan, and upon consider- ation of specific applications, decisions could be ren- dered that would show the general thrust of their dis- cussions and feelings. Vice Ch. Koenitzer requested that they proceed through the 1st Draft. Page 2-7, below Section 3, under Strategy, since the sections are not numbered, it was impossible to deter- mine the reference in Section 3 of the Element. Com. Blaine said it was impossible for her to know which one was mentioned and that it should be clarified; possibly placing it under Heritage Resources. Page 2-8, suggest adding the word "encourage" as well a assist private efforts to restore properties. A re- view was suggested for evaluation and approval once it became a part of the Plan. Page 2-10, the Cupertino sign is on sideways. Page 2-16, Policy 2-16, Com. Claudy said he thought MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION ~EETI~G read, "not~' flAuto- PC-310 Page 7 there must be a word left out and Another sect~on m~ght be added to business, or..." it should expand on Page 2-17, Policy 2-18, is reference to isolating neighborhoods or isolating individual developments? Add "walls" after electronic security. Certainly wall would be more in demand for security and privacy as well as for sound problems. Par. 17, par. 1, under Strategy, do existing housing groups function as "micro-neighborhoods?" "Drop out phrase and leave in area re-development. Com. Blaine suggested that since defensive space con- cept was shown, she felt that example of conflict con- cepts should also be depicted. Assistant Planning Director Cowan explained that the purpose of the ill- ustration was to show the ideas going away from the SO's and 60's apartment-house concepts. Page 2-24, Policy 2-26, Com. Claudy asked if that really went there, or if it really does mean limited commercial office space in planned developments within the foothills. He said he wished to know if that was the intent. Assistant Planning Director Cowan said the policy was adopted in conjunction with the Hillsid Plan because of a feeling on the part of the Council that the development of the 750-acre Archdiocese property would create a need for very local services in commercial use (gas station, fast-shop store, etc.) Page 2-26, Policy 2-32a, on a point mentioned by Staff -- Com. Claudy said he thought all swimming pools had to be fenced, even those in the floodplain. Page 2-27, under Energy Awareness....some statement about designing roofs to take advantage of solar heat source to utilize solar panel installations. Com. Adams said he thought the point should be addressed since cities are becoming involved in building orien- tation and engineering for energy conservation. He added that possibly it could be added under Energy Con servation. Policy 2-30, Com. Blaine recommended a one-sentence reference to energy mechanisms not unduly intruding upon or inhibiting roof lines. Assistant Planning Director Cowan brought up the fact that the Scenic Highways Element was not expanded. He explained that in Cupertino the problem was peculiar to streets and major arteries -- there being no rural roadways. He continued that on Page 2-30, Policy 2-36 the question of SO-foot landscaping setbacks was pri- marily applicable to the heart and soul of the City corridors; and example of which was the Town Center, MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING PC-310 Page 8 with considerable set backs, but not as deep as noted in Policy 2-36. This policy is formulated to get away from too much greenery (as around De Anza, where the birms isolate the campus from the community), but the policy provided for a greenbelt feeling as one approached the city. Also, the policy has the effect of directing traffic to the urban part of the city. Com. Claudy ob- served that without the birms at De Anza the view would be that of a sea of cars. Policy 2-30, Policy 2-36, Com. Claudy suggested re- wording for clarity. At least make it clear where the landscaping would be installed. Page 2-31, Use Intensity Constraints should cover a little more than drive-up windows and pass-through restaurants if only to refer to a section where the sub- ject is covered more extensively. Page 34, General Policies should be numbered conse- cutively. Policy d. would be the next Policy Number with sub-parts. Under Policy d, it should recognize that religions are a quasi-public or institutional use facility. Assistant Planning Director Cowan said that in that area of the General Plan there would have to be inserted some information on possible use of school sites that would be scheduled for closing -- possible impacts upon neighborhoods, possible acquisition of the land, and the necessity of advising prospective purchasers of the land what the city expected of development. i I I !

It was agreed that clarification was needed ! in the paragraphs.

In some instances, he said, it might be possible to develop the areas into industrial-commercial uses without impingement on neighborhoods. Assistant Planning Director Cowan said that the closings of schools would introduce a whole new problem to be dressed. the ad- i PUBLIC HEARING I I I I RECESS Meeting convened at 10:00 p.m. MEE'1NG I PC-3l0 Page 9 MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION SECTION 3, GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Vice Ch. Koenitzer asked that the Commissioners go through the Housing Element quickly noteing areas on which they wished to register comments, suggests, or changes. Page 3-26, Policy 3-15, Com. Blaine said to her it seemed it should be the ratio of ownership to rental units -- the ratio that was in effect. Further, she l said, the whole issue of condominium conversion should be in keeping with the Ordinances. Page 3-26, it was noted that the vacancy factor was no in the Housing Element. Com. Claudy asked if it was a implementing tool for this particular document. He pointed out that the 5% didn't seem to make sense any- more. Page 3-30, in talking about HCD money, the Commission wished to know if some kind of information about use 0 of the money outside target areas was going to be put in the report. Assistant Planning Director Cowan saidl he would have to talk to Sue Hastings, but it seemed to him that it dealt with health and safety matters. Com. Adams, citing ahead to Page 4-10, asked if it tied together Housing and Circulation having to do with increased encouragement of higher housing density to reduce commute time and amount of travel to and from employment by housing as many people as possible locally. He said he seemed to be alone in espousing increasing the industrial base in order that Cùpertino people could work in their own hometown. Assistant Planning Director Cowan responded by saying that industrial-commercial expansion, and even higher density housing, might not be realistic because job and business mobility could not be controlled. At best, he said he thought it might be a trade-off, but it would lack discipline and control. He added that it would require inter- and intra-community cooperatio and coordination on a vast scale. He advised the Commission that the problem was being attacked in othe communities by rezoning industrial-commercial property back to residential -- Palo Alto being an example. Page 3-21, Policy 3-4, remove "above those" to clarify density levels above those may be exceeded. Page 3-17, par. 3, Vice Ch. Koenitzer said he felt there needs to be more backup, ...the median income in Cupertino was within $5,000 to $25,000 a year; yet, the population earned less than $20,OOb. The tre- mendous spread in incomes didn't compute. MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING PC-3l0 Page 10 Page 3-18, sub-par. 5 reference for the sourCe of the figure of 2,871 households being less than 80% of the county figure. Reference the origin of the figures. Page 18, par. 6, numbers failed to add up to 4,378 households requiring assistance if one used the numbers 3 and 5. Also, Vice Ch. Koenitzer said he needed a ref- erence for 4,422 and 564. Facts indicate that people are now living in these places, and he asked how ex- isting household units could be projected for future additional supply. Assistant Planning Director Cowan explained that the figures come from two sources. He said that information was in flux, which would tend to keep the unit on housing in continuous review. Assistant Planning Director Cowan said there is also the problem of the City being required to provide housing for those employed within the community; and, he agreed with a speaker from the audience that the re- quirement also covered native children who wished to remain there. Transients do not go under the require- ments, and he said no obligation was imposed for the new and ever-expanding industrial-commercial areas to the east. Some efforts had been put forth to remediate the problem, but he said the whole area would continue to generate and contribute to commute traffic flow. SECTION 4, GENERAL PLAN CIRCULATION Page 4-15, Com. Claudy said perhaps that figure should be eliminated -- the demographics not doing a real ser- vice. Com. Blaine reminded the Commissioners that they had rearranged the map to meet their own ideas of the specific problems in the City. Page 4-14, Note 2, Viae Ch. Koenitzer asked if they wished to mention the Mary Avenue route as providing access to De Anza, which might be useful in that it di- verted traffic off the Stelling Road route; and, also, he said it might be well to mention the Mary Avenue Overpass, an item which would be coming up. Page 4-17, under Local Generation of Traffic, is it a Strategy or a Policy to restrict De Anza and Stevens Creek to 8 lanes? Vice Ch. Koenitzer, along with Com. Claudy, questioned the constraints on development in core areas in order to maintain the l6-trip limits. Com. Blaine noted that there was vague reference to bike lanes and improvements but little indicated for implementation. i 1 Page 4-18, under Strategy, par. 2, reference to Figure : 1/7, which figure could not be found in the Plan. The ! Figures #4 and #6 were on Page 4-14. Assistant Planning I Director Cowan assured them it was misnumbering. I i i I MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETnNG Page 4-20, under Street Standards, should it not men- tion that the Hillside street standards are not going to be the same as those on flat lands? Com. Blaine said that the specific numbers having been given to standards, the standards should include the narrower streets. Com. Koenitzer said he felt a great deal of time and effort had been spent going over the figures,¡ and although it always needed reviewing, it should be , changed only after being gone into in depth. ¡ SECTION 5, GENERAL PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES i i Page 5-14, Policy 5-10, Com. Blaine asked if this re- i fert·ed to fencing. I , Page 5-19, Policy 5-18, a sentence missing which shoul~ read, ..."City and Sanitation District should work together..." and having to do with conservation of water and percolation ponds. Com. Blaine reminded thei Staff that she had asked for a policy on keeping creek! beds in natural states, or 1:i.ned i.n as natural a manner! as possible. She asked i.f that could be included in i 5-19 as a Policy. Also, she said it should reflect . thei.r conversations about water percolating down through the stream beds. Page 5-18, Com. Claudy asked i.f it was true that the entire Sphere of Influence was to be serviced by the City of Cupertino. Assi.stant Planning Director Cowan said that he would make a note to check that out. Page 5-18, 5-14 or 5-15, Com. Adams noted that he did not see reference to covering up quarrying operati.ons after they had terminated; and he suggested it should be incorporated into the Plan in this area -- reg- ulations pertaining to air, noise, water, and scenic degradation, and as buffering. Possibly, he offered, a separate Policy should be added. The Commissioners agreed that future Permits should include the con- , striction of rehabilitation work and the restoring of I' land after the close-down of operations. It was pointed out that the County adopted and imposed re- I qui~ements that Kaiser restore the upper part of Los ì Altos Rills near the operation. Also, new and re- II opened quarrying operati.ons within Cupertino should be mentioned. ¡ Page 5-4, Policy 5-3 -- does agriculture equate with grazing, and should not both be encouraged in hillside locations, but with monitoring. Page 5-5, second par. from bottom - last line -- does that refer to Kaiser Report and the particulate ad- missions known as dust from the quarrying operations? PC-3l0 Page 11 MLNUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING PC-3l0 Page 12 Page 5-10, under Wildlife & Vegetation -- again the English sparrow; native-bird correction. Page 5-17, par. 2, ...the switch from gallons/day to acrefeet/year, gallons/year, etc.. Dazzling precision there, but suggest standardizing on one basis. A comma seems to be indicated. Page 5-30, Policy 5-29. Assistant Planning Director Cowan pointed out that emphasis on acquisition is in response to the Town Center Park situation"-- the closing of the school there and acquiring the site. The City Council, he said, having been through the ac- quisition program, was familiar with the project and might pursue that during the Joint Meeting. SECTION 6, GENERAL PLAN PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY Assistant Planning Director Cowan advised the Commission that some policies not in the 1st Section, but which were meant to be included, would be put in. Page 6-12, Table 6, Com. Blaine suggested a description of club rooms, where people get together one time, and where you have a very high density for short periods." She asked where that would fit in the Plan. The Com- missioners again mentionad churches and religious or- ganization, and such buildings should be inserted. And, this information would be available for developers. It was felt it should go under low level of acceptable risk, G-4. Assistant Planning Director Cowan suggested putting it under Table 5e, Page" 6-14, and flagging it to indicate the Uniform Building Codes should address the problem more adequately. Page 6-26, seismic/geologic section should include a provision for club houses as public use places. The Commissioners discussed a provision for high-technology useage of dangerous substances or hazards of industry. Page 6-34, Policy 6-11, Com. Blaine recommended some statement about evaluating our municipal storage facilities -- remedial action. SECTION 7, GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Assistant Planning Director Cowan explained that on Page 7-1, par. 2, the reference is to Kaiser...and Gypsum...intends to buffer...is only for quarrying and manufacturing processes. He said Page 7-2 mentions them as Key Assumptions. Page 7-2, Policy 1, is covered in the front of the 1st Draft, and is under implementation to indicate an on- going Staff Report or effort. MINUTES OF THE JUNE 18, 1979 PLANNING COMMISSION MEEII G Page. 7-4, J:m.plementation ChArt, Assistant Planning Director Cowan explaine.d would be in constant change.

PC-310 Page 13 Page.. 7-4, Policy 2-25, Com. Blaine asked if circles un marked indicated a lack of work or disinterest (as in the markings on the San Jose Annexation and the Sara- toga-Sunnyvale Road, Stevens Creek Boulevard circle in the taBle). Associate Planner Piasecki said such a schedule of markings would indicate that efforts in one area was depriving them of time for another equall inportant area -- the implementation chart not being a report on activity, but rather an indicator of trends. Assistant Planning Director Cowan explained to the Planning Commission members the procedure and the necessity of reviewing the Plan each October. The annual update would update some programs, delete other programs, add programs, and generally re-evaluate the progress of the City of Cupertino and the directions of its development. Page 7-5, Policy 3-19 and Policy 3-20, Associate Planner Piasecki explained would change seasonally, would change in relation to City resources, would change with emphasis on single or sundry projects, and would change with time-increment analysis of the daily duties, responsibilities, and assignments of the City government Staff. Assistant Planning Director Cowan congratulated the Planning Commission on having touched upon so many bases so efficiently during the course of the meeting, and said he felt they were all ready for the Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission-City Council.
