13. Stevens Creek Blvd. Drivewa.y: Applicant requested deletion of a phrase, "to ensure
safe irtgress and egress to the sites." Mr. Piasecki noted that such estat:ished intent.
Mr. Jon Boyes, Representing Tandem Computer, stated that it would be impossible to list
all conditions where turns and/or other traffic movements might be required; the phrase
"subject to approval of the Director of Public Works" would seem all that was necessary.
Consensus reached to delete phrase, "to ensure safe irtgress and egress to the sites."
14. Diversion of Traffic From Neie-hborhood Streets: Applicant requested the require-
ment be limited to Tantau Ave; the Director of Public Works asked that Finch Ave.
be included, leaving the potential for traffic leaving the site to use this access.
Mr. Boyes stated that Firtch Ave. would be more impacted by the property to the west.
Mr. Piasecki stated that upon discussion, Staff agreed that specifying only Tantau Ave.
would be appropriate; traffic circulation patterns were reviewed.
Mr. Boyes questioned the "Said improvements" and objected to requirÌl1g decorative
elements. Consensus reached that Condition state, "or other functional improvements."
21. Fire Suppression
B) The Fire District asked that wording originally proposed remain; however, they
would accept wordirtg as follows, "...as determirted to be necessary by the City
Staff irt consultation with the Fire District."
F) Condition to read, "The applicant shall satisfy access requirements, possibly
irtcluding fire truck access to the south side of the building and access by Fire
PersoMel irtto the parking structure." Reference to fire hydrants deleted.
23. Securi\y Review: Condition amended to read" ...a minimum 33 feet..."
27. Bicycle Parkine-: Applicant requested bicycle "parkirtg spaces" be substituted for
"locker." Staff did not object to such provided that they be located irt a low risk area;
Consensus reached to add "...one bicycle lockirtg facility providing security and
protection from the elements. "
Mr. Boyes stated that Tandem felt that the Condition as previously worded would be an
uMecessary expense; bicycle parkirtg areas were either adjacent to a security station or in
this instance, located irt the garage area. He assured the Commission that security and
protection could be provided without the expense.
29. Modified Site Plan: Applicant's amended wordirtg acceptable to Staff.
Mr. Boyes stated that Applicants wished to defer this Item until the specific Site Plan was
submitted to the Oty Council.
Com. Mackenzie reiterated his irtterest in seeing more activity irt the comer area bordered
by Stevens Creek Blvdrrantau Ave; Com. Claudy concurred.
Consensus reached that language be added to read, "...with an opportunity for activity to
be visible from the street and sidewalk."

30. Transfer of Develonment Credit: Applicant wished to delete the word "'additional'
square footage allotted;" Staff used the word "additional" sirtce this was the way the
450,000 sq. ft. space was referenced in the General Plan.
Mr. Boyes noted that additional square footage need not come from the additional credits;
there was an opportunity to transfer unused FAR credits from the balance of the property.
Mr. Piasecki noted concern sirtce the amount of property beirtg land banked was unknown.
Mr. Boyes added that a covenant would be submitted addressing site transfers; such would
speak to this issue; Com. Mackenzie responded that it was a planning issue as to what
building credits were allocated to specific sites.
Mr. Boyes presented a revised Site Plan, elimirtating the at grade parking at Stevens Creek
Blvd.{l'antau Ave. comer; he reviewed on-site traffic circulation patterns and landscapirtg.
Chr. Sorensen asked that a Tree Protection condition be added; Applicant had no objection.
Responding to a question, Mr. Boyes stated that Tandem had a day care referra1list.
Mr. Boyes asked that the Use Permit be granted for a period of five years.
Com. Adams expressed concern that over a five year period there might be design changes
or even a change of ownership; Com. Claudy responded that changes were not an issue of
ownership but rather an issue of irtterpretation; the Use Permit went with the land.
Consensus reached that the Use Permit would be granted for a three year period with the
option to renew for another two year period.
Ms. Josie Perry, Counsel for Tandem, commented as follows:
Questioned whether a five year use permit had ever been issued or. irt the case of a
three year permit with the option to renew. additional conditions had been imposed
Noted the inability of Tandem to predict the market place or their capacity to build
If studies enabled projections to be made on future impacts pursuant to conditions,
such conditions could be imposed at this time and a five year use permit granted
Requested assurance that additional Conditions would not be imposed in such manner
as to make it impossible for Tandem to build
Com. Claudy and Adams could not recollect any use permit granted in excess of two years;
however. extensions had been granted without additional conditions being imposed.
Mr. Piasecki suggested that the Applicants address this issue with the Council if concerns
remairted; however, a three year use permit was generous.
Mr. Piasecki S11mmarized the amendments to Revised Conditions.
The Public Hearing was then opened. There were no speakers.

SECOND: Com. Claudy
VOlE: Passed
Com. Szabo remained concerned about traffic and cited the D- Level of Service (LOS) Rat-
ing in the Barton-Aschman Traffic Study; he felt that traffic impacts had to be addressed.
Com. Claudy concurred that D- Ratings were undesirable; however, the Applicant was
requesting usage in conformity with the General Plan designation. It would be inappro-
priate to prohibit the Applicant from building; impacts would have to be addressed at a
General Plan level.

FIRST HEARING
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Negative Declaration
TENTATIVE CITY COUNCIL HEARING DATE: July 5, 1988
Staff Presentation: Mr. Piasecki reviewed the Application and presented Site and Revised
Elevation Plans; he called attention to the Barton-Aschman Traffic Report.
Applicant's Presentation: Mr. Jim Jackson, Representing the Applicant, commented:
- Discussed the Pizzeria Uno concept and product and reviewed the history of the site
- Noted that the project proposed would be a substantial up-grade
- Cited the following issues irt Recommended Conditions of Approval:
14. Use Limitation: Noted that an outdoor dining area under a canopy was proposed;
such was irtcorrectly identified in the Recommended Conditions
13. Masonrv Wall: required irt Conditions; noted the existing 8 ft. wooden fence
22. Parkin~ Area Li!!htin!!/Layout: There were existing 10 fL high lights; Applicant did
not wish to see the height reduced due to concerns for public safety
16. In~essÆ~ess Easements: Applicants were strongly opposed to an ingresS/egress
driveway on Stevens Creek Blvd. for the following reasons:
- Incoming traffic would not be encumbered by exiting cars
- Narrowness of the entrance corridor to the restaurant; two-way traffic would
cause patrons leavirtg the restaurant to step irtto the irtcomirtg traffic lane
- Insufficient area for irtgresslegress without loss of parking spaces; in addition,
the back up area for these parkirtg slots would be irt the path of on-site traffic
Hours of Qperation: Hours to extend to Midnight on Fridays and Saturdays; prohi-
bition of such would be unfair to this Applicant
Mr. Nelson Hilger, Project Manager, commented as follows:
- Cited Guidelines for Drivew¡¡v Desi~n recommendation that two way driveways be 40
ft. width; such could not be accommodated at this site
- Narrow proximity between incomirtg traffic and pedestrians crossing into the restau-
rant could be a problem; potential liability to the restaurant cited
- Staff Recommendation for a 21 fL driveway would create impacts previously noted
- Previous restaurant owner had no problem with the existing configuration
- Elimirtation of parking on the east property line could not be accommodated; 10 park-
ing stalls along the frontage had already been lost due to 50 ft. landscapirtg requirement
irt addition, to the loss of some spaces on the easterly property line.
Mr. Jackson reviewed the professional and personal accomplishments of the Applicant.
Mr. Arthur G. Gunther, Applicant, commented as follows:
- Cited professional aspirations for Pizzeria Uno and citations received by this operation
- Busirtess was positioned as gourmet pizza, aimed at families and busirtess people with
mirtimal waiting time for orders to be completed; alcohol was an accommodation
- Request for extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays were due to the fact that these
evenings represented 40-50% of total restaurant sales

restaurant would discourage bar hoppers and/or drirtkirtg on-site.

sq. fL addition, totaling 6,000 sq. ft.-- a 30% increase over existing floor area
- Proiect Data: figures corrected as stated irt Use Permit with a FAR of 0.14
- Traffic Intensity Performance: trips adjusted for a 6,000 sq. fL area totaled 64 trips,
double that stated or projected for the proposed use; such was not insignificant
- Trip Accountine:: bottom line deficit to read <3.77> Trips--25% below standard;
proposed use was similar to Chilies--a 13% smaller site with.6% increased occu-
pancy, 6% less parkirtg and a residential perimeter of 37 % --a 100% increase
- Desi!!:n Issues. Sitin,!: traffic would be exiting adjacent to residential use on Blaney;
In 4) southerly landscape berm was 30 ft., not 25 ft, as stated
- Architecture: unable to identify canvas topped seating area on drawings presented;
noted the raisirtg of the buildirtg and objected to the proposed signage to be added

tions closed between 9:00 - 10:00 P.M; enforcement problems were cited

stated by the previous speaker; he presented an exhibit showirtg the location of eight
establishments which served alcoholic beverages
Mr. Jackson responded that he sympathized with residents problems with prior operators;
however, the current Tenant would provide the best operation that had existed on this site.
The 1983 Planned Development Zoning District would provide enforceable use permits.
Mr. Gunther concurred with Mr. Jackson and cited his record of restaurant management;
he confIrmed that previous complairtts would not reoccur. He offered to elimirtate the out

With respect to hours of operation, Cupertino did not seem to be a late night dirtirtg area
Com. Adams commented as follows:
