PUBLIC HEARINGS:
City of
Cupertino
1.
CITY OF CUPERTINO: Public Hearing to consider a specific
general plan for the area bounded by Freeway Route 85 on the
east and Byme Avenue on the west and consideration of a
street plan line for Stevens Creek Blvd. between Freeway
Route 85 and Ridgeway Drive (entrance into De Anza Oaks
residential development). First Hearing continued.
Chairman Koenitzer noted the main purpose of the hearing tonight would
be to discuss zoning in the area known as Old Menta Vista.
Using a series of maps displayed on the board, Assistant Planning
Director Cowan reported on the existing and proposed zoning of the
area. 'Jh e fundamental change would be the use of a commercial store
front/industrial mix.
Chairman Koenitzer ascertained the existing residential is predominantly
single family construction; it is zoned for apartments 4-12 per acre.
,
Comm. Adams felt the residential and industrial went together and both
aspects should be considered.
Chairman Koenitzer noted the residents of the area wanted to preserve
d1 aracter of Old ¡1c)nta Vista area. Zoning some areas for higher
density or uses might create opportunity for change at some later time.
Comm. Gatto ascertained that under the proposed General Plan eleven
acres would be zoned for industrial and 20 acres for commercial store
front/industrial mix. He pointed out the residents had wanted the
commercial uses as a service for Monta Vista area only. He pointed
out these are narrow streets and fragmented lots. He did not see how
the conceptual development plan and proposed General Plan could be
integrated. Staff member Cowan agreed, and explained changes. He
referred to letter from Mr. Miosi, who was seeking to construct a
transmission facility on the comer of Stevens Creek Boulevard and
Pasadena Avenue. Mr. Cowan said staff did not feel <:ommercial frontage
should be used for automotive activities.
Comm. Markkula felt the scatterL~g of various types of uses made sense
relative to what is there now. He th ought part of the objective should
be to try to eliminate sandwiching of residential between industrial
uses. He felt the industrial could b e moved closer to Stevens Creek
Boulevard and the residential occupy areas now used as commercial.

Comm. Gatto poin~ed out it would be difficult ~o control ~o ~he
extent of absoluteness, particularly in an area already developed.
Comm. Markkula felt it should be zoned ac~ording to the choices that
people had already made there. Comm. Gatto pointed out the importance
of the zoning for the transition area.
Chairman Koenitzer then opened the hearing to the public for comments
on the zoning of this area.
Public Hear-
ings opened
Mrs. Ann Anger, Imperial Avenue, Monta Vista, felt the most important
area to start in was the south side from Stevens Creek Boulevard,
Imperial Avenue and Granada. If something ni~e is put there, the
rest of the development will be nice. If it is hodge podge, the rest
will be hodge podge. Menta Vista has been waiting for the Stevens
Creek plan line for a long time. She is afraid Monta Vista will look
like Bascom which is nothing but autolOOtives. She named several
services Monta Vista has lost because of uncertainty of plan line.
She said owners of buildings will not improve the buildings until
they know what is going to be done. She would like to see a very low
profile town and ~ountry center. Monta Vista is one of the most
beautiful areas left in Santa Clara County. A moratorium should be
set until a decision is made. She has been working for 21 years to
have Monta Vista upgraded.
Mr. Sal Niosi, 1502 Old County Road, Belmont, displayed plans for a
transmission shop he would like to build at the corner of Pasadena
and Stevens Creek Boulevard. He stressed it was not an auto repair
shop. He described the type of activity whi~h would be engendered by
his business. His building would have 0 ffices facing Stevens Creek
Boulevard. He understood there was a need for this type of business
here. He would like the Planning Commission to reach a decision as
to ,..here the boundary line for commercial would be so he would know
how to proceed.
Mr. Yamasaki, architect for Mr. Niosi, said there ""uld be a retail
store on the front, not offi~es. He said this would be a low key type
of construction with minimal traffic impact.
A discussion was held on boundary lines for the zoning of ~ommercial,
industrial or a mix. Mr. Cowan indicated on the proposed Goaneral Plan
the boundaries recommended by staff.

MINlTrES OF THE AUGUST 22, 19 77 PLAJ.'lNL'{G COMMISSION MEETING
Ms. Barbara Trubell, 10354 Imperial Avenue, said she had been a resi-
dent for eleven years and seconded Mrs. Angers comments and pleas for
quality development along Stevens Creek Boulevard. She was concerned
about trend toward automotive industry in Monta Vista area. She said
they had lost business activities which the residents of the area would
like to see attracted back, such as doctors, dentists, bakery, etc.
Mr. Regis Bokler, 21914 Granada, with a business at 10271 Imperial,
said for some reason the street blockages have been dropped from this
discussion. Zoning should be tied in with these. The proposal to
close Byrne makes Granada a freeway. His business had been zoned
industrial for 20 years and now it was being proposed for something
else. Truck traffic on Granada should be seriously considered.
Mr. Dave McLeroy, 21920 Hermosa, Monta Vista, said the viability of
business in Menta Vista is not being considered. He said the routing
of traffic as proposed was not feasible. Businesses will fold with
this proposal. He is ellDtionally involved and is at a loss about what
to do. The environment will be changed and businesses will be lost.
In answer to Comm. Gatto's request for specifics, Mr. McLeroy said
people traveling east could not come in to the businesses because of
the median and would go on to Gemco, etc., trucks could not get through
because of lack of space, grocery store is not accessible. He said
the business men are frustrated because 0 f relations 'Nith City HalL
There has been no response to their problem. He had e~ected the plan
line would be discussed tonight and a vote taken.
Mr. McLeroy said tDOst of the business men did not understand the plan
line and felt there were a lot of ambiquities. He answered Comm. Gatto
that on-street parking is very important to the business men in Monta
Vista.
Chairman Koenitzer pointed out the City was planning for traffic in
1995. Mr. McLeroy said as soon as phase I was started the businesses
would be affected. He did not think there would be that much traffic
in 1995 because of gas shonage, etc. Priority of the town was more
important than routing 280 through a small historic town like Monta
Vista. He said they feel like the City is saying if their businesses
close, that's just too bad.
Mr. McLeroy said the median, four lanes and

Mr. McLeroy said 2000 people had said they didn't want the widening of
the area and he wondered if this would affect their decision.
Mr. Cowan displayed and explained a transparency showing median and
proposed accesses to the area. Mr. McLeroy said it was not feasible
to envision this type of traffic circulation. He felt there were a
lot of problems that could not be handled by widening the streets.
Mr. Cowan pointed out the City is trying to meet the problem of
expected traffic increase and was interested in any ideas anyone could
submit.
Comm. Gatto enumerated specific items that would be incorporated in
any recommendation: right-of-way between Bubb and Foothill description,
description of actual improvements in right-of-way, General Plan
statement and document showing proposed diverter system between
Stevens Creek and Granada, general description of various access
procedures to both sides of the street.
Mr. Cowan described scope of plan that would be adopted and sent to
the County.
At 9:45 p.m. a recess was called, with the meeting reconvening at
at 10:05 p.m.
Recess
Chairman Koenitzer announced discussion of Item 1 would continue until
10:30 p.m. which time it would be continued to the second meeting in
Septembe r.
Mr. :11ke Bullock, 21851 Hermosa Avenue, said most of what he had to
say pertained to the widening of Stevens Creek which he liad thought
would be continued at tonight's meeting. He said he 'Ñould have his
remarks printed and keep his comments to zoning. He said with regard
to the median as a devise to control traffic, less lanes would do this.
Maintaining persent character of Old Monta Vista cannot be done with
d1 verters.
With regard to the transmission application, he agreed with Mrs. Anger
that this type of development should not be included. He also wanted
to stress that type of parking impacts heavily on the character of a
city. Requiring so· much parking space is a big consumer of land and
forces a sprawl. There is a conflict. If they adhere to the City
ordinances, it will not look like a small rural tow. They should
encourage having less parking spaces. Pay parking would be a
motivation for using transit.

Mr. George Hangano, 10204 So. Portal Avenue, Cupertino, referred to a
letter from the Planning Director dated March 28, 1977, relative to
Lot 9 being downzoned from commercial to residential. He noted this
property is involved in Item 4, 14-2-77 of Oxbcw Land & Development Co.
Chairman Koenitzer suggested this be considered in conjunction with
zoning at later hearing. He would like to look at residential in
terms of keeping it R-l and permit uses with multiple dwellings on
single parcels to be varianced under grandfather clause. He said
he would like IIICre information about the density of the surrounding
areas.
Mr. Louis Stocklmeir, 22120 Stevens Creek Blvd., said he wanted to
speak on road widening west of Byrne Avenue. He gave historical back-
ground on Old Monta Vista.
Mr. Sisk reminded the commissioners of conflicting dates for the
second meeting of September.
Chairman Koenitzer summarized the commission would like more study of
where the right-of-way would be, where the median strips would be
located, where systems for diverting traffic would occur and where
lines between commercial and industrial zoning would be drawn.

CITY OF CUPERrrNO: GENERAL PLAN A.'1ENDMENT (2-GPA-77) to
amend the l~d use element of the general plan. First
hearing.
Planning Director Sisk described areas involved and located them on
a map exhibited on the board. He said Highway 280 seemed to be the
logical boundary between Los Altos and Cupertino. He said a small
pocket of Cupertino west of the freeway could be traded for the Los
Altos land under the proposed reorganization. Mr. Sisk described the
procedure that would have to be followed before the property would be
de-annexed from Los Altos and annexed to Cupertino. He stressed that
the commission could not make a decision on the annexation itself.

Mr. Sisk explained the designation represents the city "going on
record" about its intentions for the land, if and when it is annexed.
It would have to be made before the councils of either city could
hold public hearings on the reorgnization.
Relative to Area I, Planning Director Sisk pointed out a residential
land use of zero to 3.5 dwellings on an acre was designat.ed. This
is essentially the same zoning the land now comes under in Los Altos.
Chairman Koenitzer then opened the hearing for public comments.
Mr. Robert M. Nome, 210 N. 4th Street, San Jose, said he was speaking
on behalf of Mr. Ray Balch, owner of property involved. He said he
was objecting procedurally because Mr.Balch had received word
about proposed annexation orally only last week and a letter just
last Friday. This did not give them time to prepare for this hearing
Also Mr.Balch did not receive notice of any hearing before LAFCO
about annexation of his property and he was objecting on this basis
also. Mr. Nome said M¡:; Balch would ask that zoning remain at
1 unit/10,OOO sq. ft. Mr.Balch objected to being annexed to Cupertin
Mr. Ray Balch, 12361 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd. ,said he was about to
receive building permits and he understood Cupertino street addresses
would be assigned. He felt this was premature,. People are buying
this property in the belief it is in Los Altos.
It was ascertained Mr. Balch would have to contact the Los Altos and
Cupertino planning departments on the matter 0 f street addresses.
Mr. Robert Sharman, 1014 Hollenbeck, said he seconded the objection
about receiving notice on August 1& for a meeting on August 22.
More people would have been present or represented if there had been
time and he asked to have the hearing continued. He was concerned
because Los Altos would allow him 4 lots per acre and Cupertino
would only allow two. LAFCO has not notified anyone about this
annexation:
Planning Director Sisk advi.sed there would be in excess of ten days
notice for annexation hearing, but there was no time limit for
amendments to general plan.
Mr. Sisk answered Mr. Sharman that LAFCO needed to know what the
property would be used for which made this pre-zoning necessary.
It meant nothing until the property was annexed.
Mr. Sharman ·.anted to go on record as saying he was against being
annexed into Cupertino.

property owner to permit a 1/2 acre portion of che total 2.1 church
siCe to be redesignaced for residential 0-4.4 dwelling unics per acre.
He said scaff believed che residential mould be permicced on che

setting, any remaining church buildings and che existing Ridgecresc

Mr. W. D. Smiley, 10892 Canyon Vista Drive, said he was speaking for
che applicant, the homeowners associaCion and himself. The church
expeccs Co expand and selling Co Ridgecresc would permiC this expansion.
He b defly described cheir proposal.
Mr. Smiley answered Comm. Adams that ic would be economically undesir-

MINlTrES OF THE AUGUST 22, 19 77 PLAANING COMl·aSSION MEETING
Comm. Gatto referred to a policy statement that allowed BQ for
almost any other use and wondered 1£ that policy should be retro-
active the other way. BQ could be used for other uses so general
plan would not have to be changed. He suggested that through the
Planned Development process, the applicant could request modification
to BQ zoning without amending general plan. This was discussed.
Chairman Koenitzer opened the meeting for public comments. There
were none.
Staff was asked to prepare a written policy statement.
Comm. Adams moved to continue Item #2 of 2-GPA-77 to the meeting
of September 21, 1977.
Chairman Koenitzer asked if the applicant this would work a hardship
on him. Mr. Smiley said they would prefer to have a ruling at this
time, either positive or negative. Chairman Koenitzer explained
intent of Planning Commission in zoning entire site to residential
and the Assistant City Attorney assured the applicant the BQ would
allow for building expansion of church facilities. Mr. Smiley then
withdrew objection to a continuation.
Motion carried, 4-0

Planning Director Sisk noted the site involves 2.3 net acres and
approximately 2.8 gross acres. The applicant is requesting a change

office to permit the option of residential in the form of condomin-
iums or apar1:m..nts. Staff was recommending approval of this combin&-
tion of land use request for a planned professional office/ residenti

Chairman Koenitzer opened the hearing to public comments.
Mr. Howard Ruth, Jr., 409 AJberto Way, Suite 2, Los Gatos, said he
had entered into an agreement for development of this property. He
felt the 16 units as he had requested was vital to development of
this property at this time.
Mrs. Rose Giddings, 20375 Silverado, CupertiIlo, said they had been
concerned about a t·,o/O or three story commercial going in. The City
had promised there '.ould not be any iIlVasion of privacy. They were
',%rried that the only economically feasibla condominium would be a
two s1:ory level. Because of the lateness, most of the neighbors had

gone home, but everyone is concerned ab out what will happen to the
residents who have lived on Silverado 15-22 years.
Ms .Luise Schmitz-Salue, 203C9 Silverado Avenue, Cupertino, said she
was opposed to this as there would be an invasion of privacy and their
property would lose its value. She was afraid the condominiums would
eventually be rentals. Usually apartments do not have enough parking
space. She relt the original zoning of professional orfice was much
better.
Olairman Koenitzer said 2-1/2 to 4 parking spaces per unit '",ould be
required.
Mr. J. R. Greene, 20323 Sllverado Avenue, Cupertino, said he relt the
same as his neiglDors. The problem of loss or privacy was real, as
well as che problem of noise. He referred Co potential craffic problem.
Proximity to Civic Center made the professional office zoning much
better.
Mr. N. M. Tucker, 20365 Sllverado Avenue, Cupertino, was answered by
Chairman Koenitzer that tonight's consideration was for an amendment
to general plan. Mr. Tucker said he relt there should be more time
for preparation before this request was voted upon.
Mr. Claude Giddings, 20375 Silverado Avenue, Cupertino, said they
were well pleased with the development as it was to date. The only
flaw was the two story office buildings. He relt a condominium would
create a hodge-podge.
Mrs. Gidding said the reason for protesting at this point was that
they had found if they protested loud enough at Planning Commission
it carried more weight; it was too hard to stop at City Council level.
Mr. Jim Koch, 575 Tyndall, Los Altos, said he had prepared a tentative
plot plan which might alleviate fears of the privacy invasion. The
windows would race inwardly to the property. He relt a condominium
project could be a good transition rrom single ramily residences into
town center.
Mr. John Mann, 20425 Silverado Avenue, Cupertino, said it was his
understanding there would be proressional buildings. He waS in
construction and he thought 90% or condominiums he had worked on
had become a ruture slum. He was strictly against it all the way.

Comm. Adams said he could see the condominiums as being a viable
option for transition between residential and commercial. He doubted
if this would become a slum. However, on the basis of comments, he
would opt for keeping professional offices.
Comm. Markkula felt either condominiums or professional offices, if
done properly, would provide an effective transition area. The whole
town center area has been well laid out and he would look very
carefully at any t'NQ story structure for this location.
Camm. Gatto said he did not feel the residential use would be adverse
to existing Silverado if handled properly. If residential 'Nere to be
considered, the density should be indicated at lower level than 12.
He would suggest something of 4.4-7.6 range.
Chairman Koenitzer said he has mixed feelings about it. He felt
there would be more control of privacy intrusion with condominiums
than with single family. While professional offices would not have
evening traffic, the uses are sufficiently similar in terms of what
could be developed that this seemed a reasonable approach. He though
perhaps a maximum of 4.4-10 units per acre.
