CITY OF CUPERTINO: Public Hearing to consider a comprehen- sive amendment to the General Plan and ENVIRO!~ŒNTAL REVIEW: The Environmental Review Committee recommends the granting of a Negativ~ Declaration~ First Hearing continuedw The Assistant Planner reviewed the previous deliberations on this item. Re said the staff has recommended the ;lord "Planned" be added to the land'use designations for Areas E, F, G, H, 1 and N. The term "Inrlustrial" should be added to Area G. ,The properties south df U280 arè all under 10-20 units per acre so they will be within Ehe trip end constraint. Tþe Assistant Planner said the criteria to be considered with the environmental review are: I) Traffic impacts. 2), Concept of whether or not this proposal wil1 concentrate dwelling units too heavily within one area. 3) Whether or not these land use intensities will create adverse effects on the air quality. Ch. Blaine asked the Assistant City Attorney if the California Water Ser,d.ce has to come to the City for review, as othe.r businesses do. The Assistant City Attorney said the private water co~pany is subject to the P.U.C. If the utility designa- tion of a property is a part of an overall Statewide plan it would preempt local government land use planning. However, he doubts whether this property is a part of a Statewide plan. Subject to further information, it was his advice that the City would have jurisdiction over the use of this property. Ch. Bla ine asked the Environmental Impact Commissioners for comments r~garding Report. -~- I...llt: I Comm. Adams reiterated the fact that the cities to the north of \ us are developing extensive industrial complexes without consid-¡ ering increasing their residential base; therefore, the concern of our City to solve the commuter distance and attendant pollu- tion problem is unwarranted. He feels Site J should be light industrial. This would provide a light industry area closer to a residential area, thus reducing traffic and pollution. Moved by Comm. Claudy, seconded by Comm. Koenitzer, to recommend to the City Council adoption of the findings of the ERC with regard to application 25-EA-78. AYES: NOES: Cornm. Adams, Claudy, Gatto, Koenitzer, Ch. Blaine None Motion carried,. 5-0 PC-284 Page 3 25-EA-78 ERC findings recommend ed PC-284 Page 4 \mendment recommended MINUTES OF JUNE 26, 1978 PLANNING COMMISSION ~ETING Comm. Claudy said the Planning Commission has recommended against the request by Mr. Ken Small regarding the property at 20545 Blossom Lane. There were no comments from the audience. Comm. Gatto said the o.nly area he has any problem with is H. Comm. Adams agréed that H should be commercial/industrial. Comm. Claudy was still in favor of residential on H. All three parcels should have the same designation. All industrial would be an option if it did not go all, residential. Ch. Blaine said this was a good spot for residential. Comm. Adams believes Band C should be at the lower end of the scale of 0-5 units per acre rather than 5-10, because it is on Blaney Avenue and near the school. Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Adams to close the public hearing as· far ' as the land use amendment for the core area for the General Plan is concerned. Motion carried, 5-0 Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Claudy to recommend to the City Council approval of this amendment to the Land Use Element of the General Plan, Exhibit A, dated June 26, 1978, pages I - 7 and pages 8-21 with. the changes proposed by the staff including land use designations in the core area and industrial added to Area G. AYES: NOES: Comm. Claudy,-Gatto, Koenitzer, Ch. Blaine Comm. Adams Motion carried, 4-1 Comm. Gatto stàted that throughout the discussions and consensus, his main reason for favoring lower density in each case was that higher 'would not be in the best interest of the City as_a whole. 2. CITY OF CUPERTINO: Public Hearing to consider amendment of Ordinance 214(a) pertaining to excavations, grading and retaining walls. First Hearing continued. TAKEN OFF CALENDAR. :1INUTES OF jUNE 26, 1978 PLANNING COMMISSION IŒETING UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS 3. Request for interpretation of proposed change in land use for an existing non-conforming building located in Monta Vista; ENVlRONMEITAL REVIEI'¡: No action required. This project is categorically exempt - David McLeroy. The Assistant Planner summarized the staff's position on this, as noted in the June 23, 1978 staff report. This proposed use does not ~xceed the_intensity of the previously approved use. , I I I Comm. Koenitzer said that to have a viable clothing store it Wil~ increase the number of people visiting, the store more than it would as an antique store. It was his understanding there are traffic problems in that area at times. Mr, David McLeroy, 21920 Hermosa, Monta Vista, said the hardware store was the point of reference rather than the furniture store. The hardware store was getting so busy and big it had to move to different quarters. The proposed clothing store is a specialty shop. O'Patti Brisco, Monta Vista, said she is pleased to see a business like this going in. She wants to preserve Monta Vista as a small town. In order to do this, we are going to have to set separate policies. Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Adams, that the Planning Commission finds this proposed new tenant will not increase the traffic generation nor present an intensity of use in this building which is greater than previous uses approved for this site..

Blaine reported she had attended the last PPC meeting. A Resolution to Disband will be presented at the next meeting, effective the end of August. The main reason is that there will not be any staff. The Inter-Governmental Council will have to take over many of the duties of PPC. They can appoint people for special land use planning. Comm. Claudy thanked the staff for prompt action regarding the Zilog dumpster. REPORT PLANNING DIRECTOR None ADJOURNMENT Ch. Blaine adjourned this meeting at 8:35 PM.
