Application 1-Z-78 of CITY OF CUPERTINO: ~REZONING 0,37 acre from R3 (Residential, multiple) to P(Planned Develop- ' ment with commercial use intent) or whatever zone may be deemed appropriate by the Planning Co~ission. Said proper y is located easterly of and adjac~nt to North De Anza Blvd. approximately 100 feet soucherly of the future intersection of Lazaneo Drive and North De Anza Blvd. First Hearing continued. The Associate Planner said this item was continued from January upon request of the applicant, which is the City of Cupertino. The staff recommended this property be resoned with or without the property owner's consent_ Mr. Louis Paviso, owner of the property in question, said he had hired Attorney Dei¢pster [o represent him, but he is vacationing in Honolulu, He asked for interpretation of "or whatever zone may be deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission", as con- tained in the paragraph above. He was told this was s[andard wording used in all rezoning applications. Mr. Paviso then aske for continuance of this matter, based on the fact that his Counsel was not present. Co~. Marklaila asked if the property ownar objected to this rezoning. Mr. Paviso said he objected to the present plan which shows him losing access to De Anza Blvd. He said he wants some proof that his garage can stay where it is. The Assistant Planning Director said it would be best to give Mr. Paviso a copy of the Non-Conforming Ordinance. Co~. Adams suggested the Planning Co~ission could act upon thi rezoning and Attorney D~pster could speak to the City Council on behalf of Mr, Paviso. If the Planning Co~ission acted upon this at this cieeting, the Associate Planner said it would go to the City Council the first Monday in May. Comm. Blaine noted the staff report did not address the present use of the property; it talks about future or conceptual plan. There followed a discussion of the access to De Anza Blvd, PC-278 MINUTES OF THE APRIL 10, 19iS PLANNI*IG COPtMISSION MEETING Page 4 I !*ir. William Weil, owner of the Donut Wheel, adjacent to the propertv in ! question, said good common sense dictates access to De Anza Blvd. He ' said he made concessions in order to be able to develop his nroperty, ~ but he does not believe it was in the best interest. He said the ~ ' Lazaneo Drive entrance to the rear parking lot wiil be canpletelv I inadequate; there must be another way in. He sa}d it will be total j chaos with the present arrangement. I The Associate Planner said we are talking about a very small commercial development here. It meets the City's parking standard. If chaos , occurs it will mean the parking standard is wrong. If it should become ~ a problem, the City should reserve the right to review the situation and possible allow one-way-in from De Anza B1vd. Mr, Weil asked the City to consider access to Parlett Place_ Since there were no co~ents from the audience, it was moved by ~ Comm. Adams, seconded by Comm. Markkula to close the Public Hearing. ~ Motion carried, 4-0 I 1-Z-78 I Moved by Comm. Blaina, seconded by Cotmm.

Review of Draft Copy of Planning Policy Committee of Master Trails and Pathways Plans for Santa Clara County. The Assistant Planning Director said the request was,for the City to review the draft copy of the Master Trails and Pathways for Santa Claza County. The purpose is to see if there are any ' inconsistencies. The staff feels the linkage of the Trail Systan along Stevens Creek Blvd. is very hazardous and recommended an optional linkage along McClellan Road. The staff reco~ended deletion of the tunnel under Freeway 280 at Foothill Blvd, as there is not enough clearance to make it safe. Co~. Blaine asked how soon we could see a bike system on McClella . The Assistant City Engineer said this could hapnen whenever [he City Council appropriates about $800,000 for this project. The Assistant Planning Director said one option could be to have the bike path go through the City Park on McClellan. Co~. Markkula questioned P37 that goes along Freeway 85 extension The General Plan has the assumption that this rxtension of Ii85 wil go through. He believes Stelling Road might be better for the bike path than the freeway rxtension. Comm. Blaine said the Planning Commission has always made it very clear that in no way should anything stand in the way of the extension of Freeway 85. Comm. Adams asked the staff for clarification of the tunnel and that stretch along the creek. Mrs. Lucien Hertert said she ha° re_~ t}:~t the new S[ate Freeway Plans will consider bike lanes in some safe manner. They can now go all along the inland waterways to Los Altos. After further discussion, it nras the consensus of the Planning Co~ission to agree with the staff to drop a portion of 8 A of tha Report. Moved by Co~. Markkula, seconded by Comm. Adams that an alternate to ~37 should be made, possibly along Stelling Road, and that the Planning Co~ission reco~ended te the City Council endorsanent of the Planning Policy Co~ittee's document, with the modification that there should be an alternate route along McC1e11an Road and - that the bike lanes along 085 eicnension should in no vay interfere with construction of this extension. Section 8A shall be deleted. The Planning Commission finds this consistent with the General Pla .
