CDNTINtJED FRCM '!HE PIANNmG CXHfiSSION MEErr'ING OF SEPl'EMBER 11, 1989
staff Presentation: Mr. Cowan said the traffic would work at level of
service D. Area wide issues that were looked at were jabsjhousin] balance
and c:camm.mity design. 'Ihe project meets the design criteria in teDns of
setback fran DeAnza Ba.ùevard, is four stories or less (General Plan
limitation), meets the 4 to 1 height/distance ratio between the project
and the Rl district to the east, and canplies with parkllxJ requi.reIrents.
Mr. Cowan said there would be sane noise when the four existin] buildings
are tom down. He suggested that they work frau east to west so the
rema:inin;J buildings would act as a noise buffer between the residents and
the de:rrolition. 'lbere were also concerns regardin;J privacy intrusion and
the possibility that the landscapin] against the back wall might block
same light. Regardin;¡' vehicular noise, the road at the back would be
c.harxJed so it does not go straight thJ:'oogh.
Mr. Cowan discussed the prqx¡sed eomition 20 and a carjvan pool
agreement. 'Ihe awlicant has agreed to a traffic demarrl management
program which will be replaced by the city's own ~.LUI,j.r:am within a few
years. eomition 20 should be rewritten to reflect this agreement.
earn. Claudy said the Canunission is bein] asked to do two~: (1)
Lower the trip generation factor and (2) Not CXJUIlt 180,000+ sq. ft. of the

actions. He said the 128,000 sq. ft. atrium was a potential worry. since
this would be a sin;Jle-o<:xJl¡pant/tenant b.rlldin;J, there would be no
incentive to keep the atrium space. Mr. Claudy said he would rather have
beautiful amenities on the outside to mitigate iDpact on the lY'III1!IIIl11Ìty.
Mr. Cowan said that What is actually required for hallways am. the lobby
is included. In order to take away space it must be truly extraordinary
amenity space. In answer to Can. Szabo's question regardin;J whether the
590,000 sq. ft. is net, Mr. Cowan said it is gross sq. footage.
Can. Szabo stated that they are a1loost doublin;J the space frcm What is
presently there.
Mr. Cowan said one 1::W.1din;J will be leased by !tXorola.
Can. Adams asked if the parJdn;J lot exits am. entrances were
satisfactory. Mr. Grigg said that the circulation plan has been checked
am. the intersection will be JOOdified.
Cern. Sorensen asked about the iDpact of traffic at DeAnza am. 280. Mr.
Cowan stated it was not known to What degree this shoold be factored into
tonight's decision.
Jàm Sobrato, Sobrato Develcpnent Co., awlicant, said that 25 buildings
ago he started 1::W.1din;J in CUpertino. He said he was not talking about
chan;Jin;J the trip generation factor. He was forœd to use one trip per
1,000 sq. ft. Hewlett-PackaJ:d in Santa Clara generated far less, so this
number is very conservative. '!he level of service at the intersection of
DeAnza am. Mariani is at D. If it goes belOW', the con::lition says the
applicant must widen DeAnza Boulevard. '!he gross floor area does count
the air space in the gross enclosed area as well as the silos to be used
for equipment storage. '!he silos are 18 ft. in diameter. As Mr. Cowan
mentioned, the chan;Jes to the rear parJdn;J lot are to avoid a straight
through road.
Re said the læ:ge atrium space was to help give employees a pleasant work
area. Employees in læ:ge b.rlldings sometiJnes lose their identity. '!he
atrium will provide outdoor/daylight win:iow areas for all employees. Mr.
Sobrato said the glass is a bl~ high perfomance glass.
Cern. Adams said that sane businesses use their large atri1.Dl1S for technical
trade shows am. that if this were the case here, it would generate !lV:)re
traffic. Has this been taken into account?

Mr. Sabrato said there is a bus parJdn;J area. '!he cafeteria space was
also taken into the 785,000 sq. ft. as well as the lobby an:l the 44"
required for hallways. He stated that Mr. Sennett !ran Motorola was here
to answer questions.
Mr. Schrato introduced the project architect, Jorge De(;.Uesada.
Mr. De(;.Uesada stated that he hates corridors; people get lost or
disoriented in buildirgs with lQn3' hallways. In this builclin:J employees
would be no farther than 35' from a wilrlow or opening. He said the
circulation is aroom the perimeter of the builclin:J. '!he atrilnn will have
large trees. '!he towers are for air conditioning an:l staUways. There
will be fountains an:l avenues in the courtyard. '!he design has a European
feelin; to it, an:l he hopes it will be a contribution to the City.
Mr. Sabrato said that the buildirgs have been ncved farther æ.ta.y from the
fence than the existin; buildirgs are. He said that same residents had
concerns that the security cameras used to watch the parJdn;J lot would be
"spyin;" on their property; he would be willin; to mount the cameras on
the fence an:l shoot the other way.
Mr. Sabrato gave a slide presentation of the project. He then showed the
revised site plan. There are no trees alQn3' the property line, so there
will be no invasive roots. Instead, there is an evergreen hedge.
can. Szabo inquired about the builclin:J height. He was told that it is 14
ft. 8 in. per floor. Cc:npm!d to the old builclin:J which was a 35 ft.
high, two-story builclin:J, this one is four stories, 65 ft. high. Mr.
Sobrato said that the courtyard is a two acre park area.
Mr. Schrato introduced Wayne sennett, Vice President/General Manager of
Motorola cœp¡ter Systems Division.
can. Mackenzie said he was concerned regardin;J the square footage, an:l
asked if the escalators in the atritn11 were counted. Mr. Schrato said they
were not. H-P had wanted the escalators so they are in the design, but
another tenant might not want them.
Mr. sermett said Motorola is very pleased with the concept. He wanted to
set the reco1.Ù. straight regardin;J same rumors as to Motorola's intent. He
said that in 1982-83 they came to the Valley in a big way. There are four
divisions, an:l the cœp¡ter Systems Division which is housed in CUpertino
is one of them. It is the software arm of the cctI'IpaI1Y, involved in
software research an:l development. '!hey are housed here because people
are here. It makes sense to have a software technical center. Motorola
has a stellar reputation in busiI1ess. '!hey recently received an award
that is given to the top cctI'IpaI1Y in the country in terns of quality. He
said the builclin:J is a perfect backdrop for the type of employee Motorola

is hopin;J to hire. As to the atrÍ1.nn, he said he is excited about the
concept because of the opennesS. It would be an encouragement to
potential enployees as Motorola is recruitin;J. It would be 1.U1thinkable to
put desks :in the atrium - they want to have the feelin;J of outside on the
inside.
Com. Adams asked about a TI:M (traffic deman:l management) P:r"':LaJII. MI:'.
sennett said Motorola wants to be a good citizen :in the CCII!IIIILIIÙ.ty. '!'hey
are prepared to participate :in such a pr"':LCUU.
Com. Szabo asked if there would be a sales office. MI:'. Sennett said there
would be very few salesmen, no large general sales office, maybe 12 or so
people.
Com. Claudy stated that even though the Apple I::W.ld:in:J across the street
an:i the Sabrato headquarters I::W.ld:in:J were bath designed by the same
architect, this devel'¥uel1t seemed different from them. He asked the
architect heM he oonceived all of those three as work:Ïn3' together
architecturally.
MI:'. DeQuesada said he had used uniformity without IID1'1Otony :in the design.
Also, the lan:isca.pin;J ties the buildin;¡s together. '!he design is derived
from European city planI'1Ín;J. All three I::W.ldin;¡s are the same l:iInestone
color.

they would fiIXl a continuity of design between the Four R1ase build:in:J,
the Apple I::W.ld:in:J on Iazaneo an:i this I::W.ld:in:J. In 50 or 60 years,
people will recx:JgnÍze they were designed by the same architect.
Jane Bierstadt, senior associate with Barton Aschman, traffic consultants,
said a traffic analysis had been c:orrlucted. Ms. Bierstadt shcx>Jed slides
cœparin;J trip generation rates, trip generation estimates for the
proposed project, level of service criteria for signalized :intersections,
an:i :intersection level of service SUIIUI1aJ:Y. '!he four slides showed three
scenarios at five intersections. Ms. Bierstadt said that the il'rprovements
necessazy to make the level of service acceptable are DeAnza
Boulevard¡Hamestead Road, DeAnza Boulevard/I-280 ranp north, DeAnza
Boulevard/I-280 ramp south, DeAnza BoulevardjMariani an:i DeAnza

Com. Claudy said the state In.'-':.LCWl is meanirr;Jless at this tiJne because
earthquake repairs will take precedence.
Com. Szabo said this deals with isolated intersections as ~ to a
system. Ms. Bierstadt said the study considers the intersections as
isolated but with ti1nin;J fran Mr. Grigg's traffic c::cmplter. Mr. Grigg
said the calculations had been made on a = cycle l~.
Ms. Bierstadt said that the 2.00 figure used is very canservative. Van
poolinJ am car poolinJ will be con:iitions of a TrM.
Com. Mackenzie said the DeAnza Boulevard¡'Hamestea :Read intersection is
already in trouble. What happens if the proposerl :iJ!1provements are not
made? Ms. Bierstadt answered that it needs to be fixe::l now.
Upon bein:J asked what the improvements at DeAnza Boulevard am stevens
Creek Boulevard consisted of, Ms. Bierstadt said there would be restripin]
am wider1in;. Mr. Mackenzie asked if the City would have to coIñemn
lam. Mr. Grigg said he didn't know, but the project is in the five year
program.
Com. Mackenzie asked Mr. Sennett how' many people are on the site now.
ihere are approximately 350-375.
Harold Johnson, 10571 Larry Way, thanked the Commission am Mr. Sobrato
who has worked with the neighbors. He appreciated the circulation plan
but said the plantinJ did not thrill him at all. He said there are
reflections from the win:lows of the current buildin;¡s on the site. Mavin]
the video cameras is a good idea. He said he was =ncen1Erl re the noise
fran the towers conta~ air handlinJ equipnent.
Steve Prosser, 10699 Larry Way, said he is ooncerned with the number of
trips. DeAnza Boulevard will have to be widened. He said he has seen
only about 30 cars at the site; with 800 employees there will be a big
difference. He said equipnent noise would escape from the towers. More
study is ~eð.
Mr. Johnson asked about the line of sight am height of the buildin;J. He
asked where the 65' was measured from. Mr. Sobrato said there had been a
SOIJOO study done by Edward Pack Associates am the project thoroughly met
the City's stardards. ihere is no increase in noise at the property
line. He said that Syva has air handlers on their roof am they are only
80 feet fran the property line, whereas the proposerl project is over 400
feet fran the line. Mr. Sobrato stated that he was surprised about the

reflections iran the existin;J kuildirgs as the glass is not reflective.
He said the height is measured iran a .........'011 line fran the top of the curb
at DeAnza Boulevard.
Com. 1Idams asked about parkin;J un::Jer the kuildin;J. Mr. Sobrato said there
will be one level of depressed parkin;J for visitors. Motorola has two
levels of depressed parkin;J. '!hey will not daylight the parkin;J - it is
truly beneath groI.Ini and hidden.
A woman residin;J 10698 Larry Way, said the traffic issue is not resolved.
It is depenjent on in'provE!lœlrt:s not yet ful'Xied and no t:iJne has been set.
Traffic will get onto DeAnza Boulevard fast, but will it get on the
freeway any quicker? :Regarcij.n;' the p1anti.n3', she asked if the trees will
be ':.LUUI,.ed and the hedges trintmed. He major concern was that the traffic
issue has not been resolved.
Boyd Johnson, 10671 Larry Way, said ivy grows aver and through the wall
now. He had concerns regardin;J the addition of two m::>re stories - he has
already lost sight of the orchard and the 1OOUI'lt:ail1s.
Com. Szabo said there are lots of unknowns in the project. They are
talkiIxJ about a 1at of bui1din;J. He also stated concerns about the :ÌlIIpact
on traffic relatin:J to freeway traffic and widenin;J of the ovezpass. 'Ibis
is the largest sin:J1e approval considered by the Camnission, and care
should be taken.
Com. Mackenzie said he favored a traffic study showin:J what TNCUld happen
if this project were built without the proposed road iIrprovements bein:J
done.
Mr. Sabrato said the traffic study had been revised at least six ti1nes.
'!he study included the Marriott and Doub1etree hotels and the Tandem
eight-sto~ project as approved projects. He said you can't stop
p1:og1:ess. '!he project 1tICrks with mitigation measures, and hasn't been
rushed into. He ~ for approval at this meetin:J.
Com. Szabo asked when the Mazy Avenue mitigation TNCUld occur. Mr. CCMan
said after the first of the year. '!he City has control t:Ner all the
proposed in'provE!lœlrt:s except the t:Nerpass widenin;J.
Can. Claudy said he TNCUld like to see what TNCUld happen if the assuITptions
of the traffic study don't take place. It may not be in the best interest
to approve the project no matter how nice it is because it has to fit into
the rest of the system. It can't be assumed that the state will be able
to fuIX:i sane projects because of the earthquake damage. He said he TNCUld
rather be inconvenienced and safe.

Com. Sorensen suggested that in regard to traffic maybe the TI:M comition
should be higher than 10% - possibly 15-20%. '!he noise level of the
mechanical equipnent wt'cld be 46 dba level at the property line. She said
the larxJsœped area should be 15 ft. wide. She stated that she likes the
I:W.lð.i.n;J .
Com. Adams suggested a course of action. Mt'. Sobrato CXJUld look at what
wt'cld happen if the :i1nprovements were not made for five years an:i come
back an:i give the Cmmission an assessment.
Mt'. Sobrato said they had volunteered to the TI:M pI.<"<;¡.LêIlu in the first
place; they are a responsible develcpnent campany. A consezvative
approach was taken. He said it was not fair that he CXJUldn't go forward
with his develcpnent because other developers haven't made :iJlprcvements.
Com. Adams asked if Mr. Sabrato wanted a decision tonight. Mt'. Sabrato
said that if the project weren't apprcve:i, maybe they wt'cld want to look
at a residential project. '!he project is zoned residential. He hoped to
achieve mre than the target 10% with the TI:M. He said they had ¡:AJrChased
trips an:i are entitle:i to I:W.ld the project. '!he project 1rIOrks acx:ording
to the rules. He said the earthquake was not his problem. He said that
if they build two-sto:ry homes on the property, they can I:W.ld within 75-80
ft. of the property line. He wants to I\'CVe on with the proposed project
because they have followed the City's rules.
Mr. Grigg said the city can fImi the wic1ening of the overpass an:i the
other :iJlprovements are furrle.:1.. '!he ~s CXJU1d be done with the
$785,000 construction tax generated by the project.
Donna Prosser, 10699 I.any Way, asked why the Camnission had been headed
toward waitin;¡' an:i gettin;' answers , an:i then when Mt'. Sobrato threatened
to build two-sto:ry homes the whole tone charxJe:i.
Com. Claudy said he wt'cld vote against the project if Mt'. Sobrato wanted a
decision tonight because of insufficient traffic information. As to the
conc:eptual plan, he felt the silos were ridiculous an:i not attractive in
his eyes.
Can. Szabo said the Camnission is not allowed to awrove the project if it
does not meet the General Plan. '!he level of service of an :intersection
cannot be below D. Acts of God should not be exenpt.ed. He said he wt'cld
vote no.
Com. Mackenzie stated he wt'cld consider requirin;¡' Mr. Sobrato to make

Com. Szabo reiterated his lX'Sition that this is the biggest project
considered by the Camnission am said he would like to take m::>re than one

Com. Claudy stated that one awroach to traffic is to have the developer

City has money to fun:i the inprovements, hIt only Council has the
authority to fun:i projects.
