Cb- Gatto as-ked Aggociate Planner Piasecki to present the Staff
Report .
Ass-ociate Planner Pias-ecki presented the Applicant's map plans on
the ab.ove-identified property, and also located the citY-Frepared
map of the Stevens Creek Plan Line. !fe pointed out that the Ap-
plicant's request was for 8 units of density, consistent with
the small-lot cluster-type development (as approved for property
to the north and wegt) on 1.5 grosg acres. The exception '<as
the proposed two attached units and then the three separate units.
Associate Planner Piasecki said the Staff had concentrated on
three items for review: 1) adjustment (s:hortening) ot the cul-
de-s:ac, 2) modify"ing the units (by jockeying) the last unit on
the s-ite, and 3) adequacy of privacy and activity area in yard
Sþaces-. The whole concept, he s-aid, was scheduled to be pre-
sented to the Architectural On-s:ite Committee for preserving the
thematic design to fit it in with the overall concepts, which had
been accomplighed with great diligence and success by other de-
velopers: .
Associate Planner Piasecki indicated there are no conditions: and
that the Applicant had a.greed to work -,rUh the Architectural
Reviev Committee to blend gtyles: to achieve compatibility. Re-
ferring to the cul-de-s:ac issue, ha informed the Commis:sion that
the Applicant w:e,s being encouraged to n,;gotiate with otp.er
property owners tor sharing the respons:.ibility with the three
hous:es to the east - the Applicant making full improvements to
the cul-de-sac. Ih the event that was: uns:ucces:s:ful, they proposed
to widen the pavement area 5 ft. lJ;>roviding 20 ft. of pavements)
.
MINUTES OF THE JUNE ll, 1979 MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
shifting the units to the west. (A. map plan vas exhibited to
illustrate the jockeying that would provide additional roadway).
Com. Koenitzer expressed concern for the closeness of the homes,
garages and abutting yard space that it might impt:.nge on the
privacy of the home owners. He pointed out a 5 ft. space between
units in some instances; and, also, he said, another concern was
in the two-story unit backed up to fences with no indication as
to whether or not windov areas would conflict with privacy. He
asked if other property had not required lO ft. to l5 ft. spaces
. to alleviate those impacts, particularly the mass and closeness.
Associate Planner Piasecki advised that the shifting of the homes
would provide more privacy and that the front yards would be re-
quired to be shortened in order to extend the back yards to pro-
vide more activity space and privacy. The houses, he explained
would be 5 ft. from the property lines, thus assuring the lO ft.
requirement, and he added, the plan actually had more flexibility
than was apparent in that the shifting of units would provide for
Com. Koeni.tzer's concerns. He added that a representative of the
applicant vas in the audience and could provide information.
Applicant, Roger Griffin, 19660 Junipero, representing Griffin &
Murren Construction, Inc. said the site is occupied by two homes
and storage building, which are close to the road. The proposed
nine single-family residential l/3 of the structures would be of
single level to reduce visual impact. He pointed out that the
garage locations provided privacy, and that the living areas were
located to focus on backyard areas and that windows could be so
placed that they would not impact with adjacent homes. He advised
the Commission that each home would have a lot, and all landscaping
would be installed by the developer. Reduction of the cul-de-sac
area could be achieved by commensurate footage on the home sites.
He said, with the shifting of the home, the 5 ft. at the corner
of the building in clearance with the fence line, would be going
avay from the joint property line and thus be creating additional
space and privacy.
Com. Adams inquired as to what would happen if the adjoining
property owner (s) decided not to participate in the cul-de-sac
arrangement, and he was told that the above-outlined plan would
provide for that contingency.
Associate Planner Piasecki said it would be considered a mini-cul-
de-sac with 30 ft. width -- 20 ft. on the property shown, and
another lO ft. on the property across the street at the time it
might be developed.
Ch. Gatto pointed out that this application was a pre-zoning,
including a tentative map, and a use permit; and, he asked hov
this would develop under City control.

Assistant Planning Director Cowan advised that the development
could not go forward until the property had been annexed. In
effect, he said this application reflects a Pre-Tentative Map &
Use Permit.
Assistant City Attorley Kilian said, when asked by Ch. Gatto, that
it was kosher; although, he said he was not aware of precedent.
If the Use Permit terminated at the end of a year, he felt that in
the absence of completed annexation, the permit could be extended.
Ch. Gatto stated that the Annexation was submitted in October 1978,
was in suspension pending processing of this development, and then
·would go forward to final decision.
COm. Koenitzer requested that the Architectural Review Committee
take a look at the change in architectural style to bring about
more compatibility with neighboring development and the Monte
Vista area.
Com. Blaine said that wood construction tended to blend or soften
style.
cOm. Koenitzer advised that he hoped style compatibility could be
accomplished without impacting costs.

AGENDA ITEM #3 - Applications 8-Z-79 and 9-U-79 o~ HASSAN AMER:
REZONING approximately .6 gross acres from ML-rc (Light Industrial)
to P (Planned Development with commercial and o~~ice use intent)
zone or whatever zone may be deemed appropriate by the Planning
Commission; USE PERMIT to construct an 1,300 sq. ft. o~~ice buildin
and ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Environmental Review Committee rec-
commends the granting of a Negative Declaration. Said property is
located on the southwest corner o~ Stevens Creek Boulevard and
Bubb Road. First Hearing. City Council hearing 7/2/79.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan said he'd use "the Sta~~ Repo~
~or the pertinent in~ormation concerning this application, pointing
out the southwest corner o~ Bubb Road & Stevens Creek Boulevard,
immediately contiguous to the Southern Paci~ic Railroad right o~
way, Spur Line. The second part o~ the application, he pointed
out was ~or a Use Permit ~or a 11,300 sq. ft. building on the lot.
He said the design was consistent with the downtown Monte Vista
Plan.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan called the attention o~ the
Planning Commission to the orientation of the building as· to
activities and design. A key ~eature o~ the Monte Vista Plan was
to orient buildings toward the sidewalks, and he said it was pos-
sible the proposed plan ~or the corner made a good transition be-
tween the industrial and o~~ice uses on Bubb Road and the retail
uses on Stevens Creek. Because the design o~ the building had a
tendency to isolate sidewalk activity (by design and appearance);
and there~ore, doorways and store ~ronts had been recommended in
order to create a blending into Stevens Creek, and make it more
inviting to pedestrians. The Applicant, he said, agreed and was
willing to work with the Architectural Review Committee on such
plans. One consideration should be pointed out, and that was the
curb-side business on Stevens Creek Boulevard, he said; and there
was general agreement in review with the City Tra~~ic Engineer
that a second access to the site would be advantageous. Accord-
ingly, he in~ol"med the Committee, that the Sta~~ and the Applicant
had agreed to a curb-cut. He pointed out that the building did
angle away ~rom the corner ~or the purpose o~ screening parking as
much as possible to help implement the intent o~ the Monte Vista
Plan.
Com. Koenitzer asked about the City plans ~or improving the rail-
road crossing, whether or not it would be done within the next year
Assistant City Engineer Whitten in~ormed the Commissioners that
a meeting was scheduled ~or Wednesday, July 13, 1979, at 2 o'clock
to widen the street on the south side (as shown on the plan). A
pending project on the north side is awaiting a clearance ~rom t~e
HCD o~~ice, and he expected it to come through in two to three mont s.

Com. Blaine asked if it was possible to consider other businesses
than the lot-approved restaurant in order to avoid parking prob-
lems and traffic.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan explained the 2,500 s~. ft.
limitations that provide a cushion for parking problems. He said
review of parking in jurisdictions other than Cupertino indi-
cated the City re~uirements are for too much parking space. The
3/thousand is adequa.te, he said, and in this case, the 4 to 1
ratio prevails. CH~: Ordinance presently calls for 5 to 1 ratio.
Coß. Blaine said that although she felt some kind of lunchroom
could be used in that area, she also felt people would not be in-
terested in making the walk.
Com. Adams objected to the two-story "awesome structure" on the
corner and right up against the sidewalk. Com. Koenitzer agreed
that the flat, industrial facade was unpleasing, and he recom-
mended a re-thinking of the design; possibly parking in front.
Ch. Gatto invited the Applicant to speak.
Safwat Malek, 23801 Camino Hermoso, Los Altos Hills, representing
the Omler, said that they are in agreement with the Staff Report;
and although he had nothing to add, he would be happy to answer
any questions.
Com. Adams asked why they had decided to place a two-story build-
int on the corner with parking to the rear.
Mr. Malek said, first, he agreed with Com. Koenitzer, and he too
falt a building was a more suitable element on the street than
a parking lot. Another factor was that the parking re~uirements
precluded turning the building around. Mr. Malek said the design
was to have fit into the Monte Vista Plan and in addition be
transitional with the West Valley Industrial Park.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan commented that the Monte Vista
Plan was designed to get buildings up to the front, adjacent to
curbs, to create a dOmltoml feeling. In response to Com. Adams,
he reminded the Commissioners that the site was not a part 0' the
West Valley Industrial Park, which he indicated did have a couple
of two-story buildings.
Com. Koenitzer added that the industrial park buildings were in
the range of twenty to forty feet in height.
PUBLIC HEARINGS WERE CLOSED
Com. Adams asserted that he felt the Applicant should do something
to dress up the structure. lie said that even granting it was the
policy of the Monte Vista Plan to place structures on curb lines,
he said he felt this was too massive for the corner. He asked if
more detailed plans could not be made available.

Ch.. Gatto as.lœd the AJ>plicant if he. s.till rl.shed to continue the

Assistant Planning Director Cowan advised the Commissioners that
the so-called 1940 Concept had provided the inspiration for the
Monte Vista Plan.
Ch. Gatto said that in his estimation, in interpreting the discuss ons
of the development, a good design, a set back for the second story
landscaping, and parking in the rear cou1.d enhance the property
and provide transition styling.

Said property is located on the northeast corner of Alves Drive &
Bandley Drive in a P (Planned Development with Light Industrial,
General Connnercial and Residential (4-l0 dwelling units per acre)
intent 1 zoning district. First Hearing. City Council hearing
6/lS/79.
PUBLIC HEARINGS WERE OPENED
Com. Koenitzer s;aid he had one question of staff, and he wished to
know whether or not there had been any delayed requirement for a
wall on the part of the property where the res;taurant was located.
He explained that it was hi.s understanding that in instances when
vacant property adjoined connnercial property, it was usual to put
the onus; of wall construction on the connnercial property developer.
In most of the cases he said he could recall, the residential area
had already been zoned. In thí.s case, he pointed out, the nature
of tha use of the northern property being uncertain might indicate
a requirement should be set down.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan advised that an application on
file would be before them, but since its disposition was in doubt,
it would be unwise to speculate about the Use for the northern
property until it was settled. He s;aid he could recall a cas;e of
a bonding arrangement guaranteeing future construction of a wall
as a buffer. Re added that the guarantee was occasioned by a
time limitation situation.
Com. Adams volunteered that he thouglt Condition #lS held a
solution to the problem.
Ch. Gatto invited Mr. Bandley, representing the owners, to come
forward to provide information and comments;.
Mr. Don Bandley, 6610 Alves, Cupertino, said he was representing
MDillTES OF THE JUNE 11, 1979 MEErING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. & Mrs.. Rosono, the pra!ten-b ow-ers of -bhe building and -bhe
operators- of the Gifu restaurant. Ire :õaid it wa:õ their intent,
:tn o:f'f'eri.ng the parce~ for S&l.e on the open market, that :it s-tand
independent of their restaurant operation. There were in accord
with th.. cond:i:tìoIl5, except that they were aga:inst acces" to or
crolr5ing of their property by traffic. The property, once divided
off, would have to stand alone with its own entrance and exit
areas. Re said he thought there would not be difficulty in a-
graeing to a wall for the newly developed property in case of need
Ifcwever, the restaurant should be recognized a:õ having no conditio s
for a wall placed upon it previously. Although Ch. Gatto had
stated that a wall might be required along the entire length of
the property, he said he was not certain of the problem there.
PC-309
Page 2
Com. Adams as-ked for identification of the 15 ft. enclosure to the.
north of the trash. area. Mr. Bandley would not identify the en-
closure. Ifcwever, Ch. Gatto s-aid it appeared to be a landscape
space and two parking '5I'aCe5.
Com. KOenitzer suggested discus5ing.the access situation before
clo5ing the public hearing. By agreement the Commission continue
the Public Hearing Open.
Com. KDenitzer said hi5 recollection of discussion on the property
called for integration of the parcel to be split off with the Gifu
parcel. Jre noted that a curb cut came very close to the existing
curb cut; and ha said, with traffic coming along Alves Drive, a
problem with traffic flow might develop. Putting a curb cut into
tb.a.t site would interfere with entrance unloading lwhich :Ls some-
thing people aJ.way:õ 5eem to wish to do l; therefore, he said he
much preferred having acce:Õ5 to J?arking through the present curb
cut going to the parking in too rear. One other suggestion 00
felt might "õe a solution was too flipping of the building with- the
parking.
Com. Adams: pointed out that in most instances- where parking areas
bordered each other, it was requested that traffic could move
through by reaaon of reciprocal easement, whtch seemed to him to
be most reasonable.
Com. Blaine noted that the curb cut would mean more asphalt and
less landscaping. She said she agreed with the easement concept.
Ch. Gatto informed Com. Koenitzer, in response to his inquiry,
that with 5 cars/thousand, the project was already a car short in
requirements.
Com. Adams agreed he would prefer an easement to integrate the two
developments. The carwash provided a massiveness, but it appeare
to him that further back there was a 6 ft. "pace (lane) available.
Ch. Gatto asked Mr. Bandley if he, having heard the consensus of
the Planning Commission, wished to pursue the Application or to
take it back for revision.

Mr. Bandley said that without having knowledge of Mr. Papageor-
giou's opinions or intenti.on, and only in behalf of Mr. & Mrs.
Hosono, tha.t he '<lOuld prefer to continue on to 6:ouncil -- their
obligation in the matter 1>eing s.iJnply a parcel split. The layout
and design would òe up to the developer. Time being important,
he said he'd prefer to bring the matter to a conclusion. He ad-
vised the Planning Commission that if they continued along the
lines of ea.sements, then the property just would not be developed.
PUBLIC HEARINGS CLOSED
Com. Koenitzer and Ch. Gatto agreed tha.t a tentative map would
require the easements in addition to the land division; and also
should include a wall along the entire property.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan said an application on file
for a 60-unit condominium development was concerned about traffic
along De Anza Boulevard and the carwash, but that it might be
poss.ible to direct attention to back-line noise.
Com. Adams inquired as to whether or not a residential developer
would be asked to provide an accoustical report to allow the plans
to stand alone. Com. Blaine added that the major reason for walls
was protection from parking lot noise and activity. She and Com.
Adams agreed that conditions should be added to have the developers
work together to provide the wall.
Com. Koenitzer said some provision should be made to provide for
the contingency of an 8 ft. wall being needed. He also suggested
it might be simple to remove the parking along the back line,
turn :!.t around, and provide a driveway to integrate the properties.
Com. Blaine said she understood Condition #12 covered the
situation, a condition she said she felt had always been there
but had not been enforced.
Com. Adams pointed out that a wall along the total property line
could be required; for, after all, he said, until after the split,
it is one property.
