Presentation: John Sobrato, Jr. Samples of exterior materials were displayed, and include a "Brazilian Granite" exterior skin in dark red, reflective silver-green glazing and green aluminum anodized mullions. The Committee strongly recommends approval of the design concept by the Planning Commission; however, they request that final site, elevation and landscape plans be returned for ASAC evaluation prior to construction. Specific concerns of the Committee are as follows: - Maintenance of the atrium area as a quasi-public space; reflective glass may inhibit public visability into that space. - Proposed parking strategy -- impact 'to Peppermill Restaurant and precedence value. - Dichotomous formality of entry walk depicted on Sheet C-1 relative to the mandering informality of sidewalks prescribed by the North De Anza Boulevard Specific Plan. - Extreme grade break at Mariani Avenue entry drive. -1- ,h r" H, •. r - Sophistication of the building lines de-`racted by certain details such as exterior staircases, etc. . . u - Building height in relation to curb line setback may be excessive; 45 degree relationship usually prescribed.

Concerns caxpressed by the Committee were as fallow: - Use of Ivy ground cower on Stevens Creek Boulevard is interpreted to be inconsistent with the "Prometheus" concept on the opposite quadrant of Torre Avenue; shoulo be modified to include turf area behind the sidewalk. - Placement of trees outboard of the sidewalk on the Torre Avenue frontage was deemed acceptable, although not strictly consistent with the "Prometheus" concept. - Spaces within the brick plaza grid area at the building's southerly entry should be paved in concrete. -- To accomplish o smoother transition to the less formal design concept i- the Stevens Creek Boulevard Sidewalk Plan at the project' easterly boundary, the Committee requested that the alternative frontage planting concept depicted on Exhibit L-1 be implemented.

This intent may be accomplished by increasing window area, adding direct doorway access to the street or by other appropriate means.

C & H Development _ Dennis Kobza, Applicant's Architect Staff provided a brief description of the procedures under which this application is being presented to the Architectural Committee and described the applicant's Site plan. Staff suggested that the Committee review only the site and architecture at this time and continue the landscaping, sign4nj, and lighting to the meeting of September 24, 1984. The applicant's described their proposal briefly and answered questions from the Committee concerning the existing store and verified that the proposal is approximately the same size as the existing store and would contain identical merchandising and would involve no sale of packaged l i quor but sales of beer and wine only. Presently, the 7-11 Store on Bubb Road is operating on a 24-hour basis as will be the case with the new store. The applicants suggested that they are simply moving out of the neighborhood location to the commercial corner of Bubb Road and McClellan Road:, One member of the Committee questioned the appropriateness of commercial on this corner while another member indicated that the market is an improvement in the use over the previous service station. Committee Members voiced concerns ,about traffic on Bubb Road and pointed out that with four schools in the area that the proposal may act as a greater enticement for attracting children to this site. Additionally, one Committee Member voiced concern that the new location would be more accessible to impacting elementary school children enroute to Lincoln Elementary School on McClellan Road. The Committee reviewed the present relationship of the 7-11 Store with the community with the applicants who felt that their present relationship is pretty good with most of the neighborhood. The applicants pointed out that the store will be owner operated and feel that they have a good relationship presently with the school district. Committee Member Miller inquired where pick-up and deliveries would take place. The applicants pointed out that this would be in front of the store and _d. A. 8, A. C. MtK S OF AUGWT 279 f� - -------------M- suggested that they could dove it to the east side of the store if the Committee felt that the front access was a serious problem. The applicants also ,pointed out that the deliveries typically take place during the daytime and should, therefore, have omi ni mal impact upon the residential area across Bubb Road. The applicants clarify that they intend to leave the triangular-shaped portion an the east side of lot paved, that it is presently screened to some degree by the landscaping an the Percolation Pond site. Stafw suggested that thgy Mould like to review the landscaping an this component of site in conjunction with the landscape approval. The Committee requested that the applicant attempt to screen the existing transformer box in conjunction with their landscaping plan. Staff reviewed some slides of the site and explained that the landscape plan would invzlva the reduction in the sidewalk to a 5 ft. monolithic sidewalk to which one member of the Committee expressed concern about the number of children walking in the area-and the possible need for a 10 ft. walk. The slides revealed that there is presently a 5 ft. monolithic sidewalk in front of the Percolation Pond site to the south. Mr. David Ankele of Diversified Property Management representing the condominium homeowners association across Bubb Romed explained that the Homeowners Association is concerned about the proposed convenience market and could not support the application. One committee member asked if there would be video games in the store and that this application constituted a movement to a more accessible location for more school children. The Committee felt that the school districts should be notified to which it was p-hinted out that a representative from the elementary school district was advised of this application. The Committee concluded by reviewing the site and architecture and felt that the proposal reflected a basically good design expressing no concerns or problems with either the site or architecture. The applicant reminded the Committee that presently the existing 7-11 attracts traffic down a residential street and this application would resolve that problem by bringing it to a more major intersection. Additionally, the applicants indicated that they take str,-vng measures to try to control loitering before, during and after school hours. That the application also would remove any loitering from the close proximity that it presently has to single-family residential areas. -3- a ,c",. X $�*' r rajj.+ij r,s s ro'. ,^ as i4 A.

The applicants explained that there is presently a six foot fence with a 3 ft. extension along the southerly property line and that one fence' is located on the property line and a second screen located adjacent to the barbeque area where the building is to placed. The applicants discussed alternate locations next to the equipment room or near the children's play area with the Committee. Staff clarified that staff is oncerned about the proximity to the adjacent homes due to noise from people using the club house structure. The noise may prove to be a nuisance to the adjoining property owner. The Committee ascertained that the issue of noise would be discussed before the Planning Commission and that the adjoining property owners would be notified of said hearing. With that, the Committee expressed no particular concerns regarding the architecture of the building as it is not highly visible from any public street areas.

The Committee indicated support for allowance of commercial an first floor of proposed office buildings in the Manta Vista Area to be reviewed in a case-by-case basis to ensure that there is adequate parking, etc. One Committee Member expressed concern over the white picket fence detail which was explained) by staff as being a requirement of the Manta Vista Design Guidelines to provide design continuity between the independent parking lots. Item 4) ftai acatign 18-U-_84__=__Cue-cii0o_C1i tY Assos= _tes_(Pcca�n�t ieu1 DgXSJgUfflSnt) -)Use Permit to construct a 140,000 sq. ft. four-story office building, a five to eight story residential/parking garage structure and temporary at-grade parking. The residential/parking garage structure consists of 104+- residential units, and 1,300 +- v=nicle parking spaces. The subject property is located n the Town Center Planning Area at the southeast quadtAnt of Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard approximately 320 ft. south of Stevens Creek Boulevard and 700 ft. east of South De Anza Boulevard in a P (Planned Development with Residential, Commercial , Office, Industrial and Hotel intent) zoning district. (Continued from the Meeting of October 8, 1984) Presentation: Mark Kroll , Applicant Bill Valentine, Principal Architect - HOK Steve Haines, Fisher-Friedman The applicant and architects describes: the proposal. The Committee onade the following comments: - The residential units will be looking onto the parking structure. The applicant advised that pre-cast planters will be located on the top level of the structure and will soften the parking lot. The applicant cautioned that the plantings would not h2 excessive and not expected to totally screen the area. - One Member indicated a preference for larger scale trees rather than small flowers and shrubs within the planters. - Fifty percent compacts may be a problem. The applicant indicated that he would double-stripe the parking spaces and access to tie garage would, be by card. 2 �,ae.J A.s.M.c. Mitout a - The Committee questioned the 'use of different cheater i al s for the residential structure and reviewed the color. Some Members were concerned that it may "cheapen" the appearance of the residential building as it relates to the office building. The applicant reviewed the color choice. The Committee determined that it would be compatible. Balconies may get cluttered. The applicant indicated that if the units were rented as apartments, this would be controlled by the Manager and if sold as condominiums by the CC&IR's. One Committee Member indicated disappointment that the parking structure doesn't step back as dramatically as the first office building or as indicated on the original concept plan for the Town Center. The applicant 's architect indicated that dramatic stepping back of the parking structure would be very costly. - Stepping back the second office building on the north side is sensitive to the first office building but does not provide a sensitive relationship to the public street area off Torre Avenue, thereby limiting the sense of compatibility between the two office buildings as viewed from the public street area. The applicant indicated that this stepping back was intended to provide southerly sun angles and that there was a vertical stepping in the building which would mimick the horizontal steps on the fro:at building and compliment the curvature of Torre Avenue. - The Committee felt that the development may be turning into an Industrial Park rather a "people oriented" area with many amenities. The applicant indicated commercial space would be provided but in a concentrated location n,oar the corner plaza area and along the central pedestrian prominade. They indicated that the limited market for commercial uses simply couldn't justify locating commercial areas throughout the development. - Concern was raised regarding the blankness of the first floor of the residential structure which provides only one door for interaction between the building and the street. The applicant 's indicated that this is being done for security purposes and to separate the residential units from the noise sources and street level , and to get maximum utilization of the parking garage structure. J M � ���F c After reviewing all of these concerns$ the Commitree'v general consensus favored the concepts i 1 l usttrated by the applicant. Item 5) 3 i at3csn_ �$ tzi _� 'i ® eC9 e s - Informal review of landscaping, architectural changes, building materials and height for an office building located at the northeast corer of De Anza Boulevard and Hariani Avenue. NOTE: Committee Member Deborah Nobel left the meeting. Presentation: John Sobrato, Jr. Dan Ortiz, Architectural Representative from Jcrge De Guesada, Inc. Staff explained that the application involved review of the glass material and other building materials in conjunction with Condition 25 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2487 which stipulates that the �:ommittee is to review the reflective characteristics of the glass with the objective of providing some public visibility into the atrium and review the exterior materials and landscape details. The Committee discussed the applicant's proposal to utilize copper tinted windows, and bronze colored window frames. The staff pointed out that the building plans reflected a b ft. increase in the height of the peak of the atrium, ® oriented the marble panels in a vertical rather than horizontal direction, and extended the at'rit over the previously open area in the building an the south side thereby enclosing the space into the atrium area of the structure. The Committee Members raised concerns about the lack of continuation of the !sidewalk and discussed the orientation of the building. It was pointed out that the application including building orientation has already been approved and the review should be limited to the changes from the approver! plans. The Committee then concluded that the changes are minor in nature and unanimously adopted ASAC Resolution No. 1111 approving building colors, materials, and consenting to the architectural modifications as delineated on the building pl.- .-ks referenced in the Resolution. 4 w ,�s t� A ,,fi�tt .a,i� A.$.A.C.

The property invilved is located adjacent to and southerly of Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately 700 sq. ft. west of Blaney Avenue in a P (Planned Development with commercial, office and residential , 15-30 duelling units per acre intent) zone. Presentation: John Vidovich, applicant (presented an overview) Dennis Henmi, architect (discussed the office) Sylvia Kwan, architect (discussed the senior residential units) Hal Veerkamp, landscape architect (discussed the overall landscaping concept) The applicant pninted out that the materials woc!ld utilize GFRC panels wi`h green marble veneer light reflective glass (green). The entry glass would be of a clear green glass material. Window mullions would be painted green. The Committee Members raised the following points and concerns related to this proposa'_v - The corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard is too congested. Traffic improvements are not keeping up with incr -ased traffic levels. - While senior Housing is needed, housing for employees working in the area is the first priority. - Four story building behind the two story building would not function well as a . •r.ransi ti on lowering the intensity of buildings along Stevens Creek Boulevard to the east. - Problem with the mix of building type and styles. - The four-story office building upstages the first building. 1. - The site plan appears to be very disjointed. 2 y d MIR y A. S. ., ,. ' � . . .mot sy r :: r.. ;. • - The top of the garage is barren, there is no landscaping. - The archi to "ture does not make a smooth transition. - While each building may be nice an Its own, the composi t dews not bland weel l. - To many of the garage strurtureesa function as separate islands. The bui 1 dt ngs and garage should be designed as one integral unit. - Beautiful job, very sensitive design. - Potential problem with the rental ability to seniors if no subsidy of rents is incorporated into this proposal. The applicant pointed out that the senior units would off-set the increased office and that the net result would not add traffic to the area, per the applicant's architect, pointed out that the colors would blend the projects together. The marble would function to "understate" the four-story office building and taoul d help with the transition question. The applicant's architect also pointed out that the suburban style, two-story, office building on the corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Torre Avenue does not tie in well with the Prometheus development and the four-story building is needed to better tie in and function on its own identity. The Committee concluded by summarizing that two of the Members f avorsd the project and feel -that it is workable and an overall good design and that the ether three Members felt there are problems with consistency of architectural styles, transition of the development with the lower intensity office along Stevens Creek Boulevard to the east, internal site design and lack of architectural compatibility. The overall Committee consensus is that there are many design related concerns related to this proposal. The applicant indicated that he is willing to consider redesigning to address some of the concerns raised by the Committee. Item 6) ApRlicaiion_21-U-84 Michael Weber and_Fred_Michaud - Use Permit to add approximately 14,000 sad. ft. to an existing 5,000 sq. ft. office building. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of RichwodV Drive and Miller Avenue. 3 k7s7 z of M646 Or T' Commi t to a Member Rooker stepped down from .ni s posi ti do on the Committee and did not participate in the discuesion. Presentation: Bill Plimpton, applicant's architectural representative Mr. Weber and Mr. Michaud, applicants The applicants architectural representative explained the following: 1) The proposal was to upgrade the building and residential sites. 2) This proposal would provide a clear definition between the commercial and residential properties. 3) They propora to use a bronze tone reflective glass. 4) The reflective glass "skin" will reflect the neighborhood and the building itself will remain unobtrusive. 5) They propose to put a 10 ft. wall next to the southerly residential property and a six foot berm along the eastern property line. The building materials were not specified at this point. The applicant agreed to return to the Committee friformaslly for approval of building materials. The Cr+.:,mittee Members discussed the mix of architectural styles in the area. The applicants pointed out that the proposal would more closely tie this area to Vallco Park through the building style and that they hoped that it would trigger redevelopment along a similar style in the area. The Committee Members concurred that it is a very different architectural style from some of the more suburban buildings in the area but felt that the change did pose a particular problem. The Committee consented to the architectural style and site plan. Item Number b was continued to the Meeting of November 26, 1984 to prepare the final architectural renderings. Item 7) Apglitation_ 24-U-84 - Calif ornia__Saloons__In&;__iP.J,. Mulligans) - Use Permit to expand an existing 3,000 sq. ft. restaurant/bar by 1,700 sq. ft. for a total of 4,700 sq. ft.

Ninutesc �i£�@Y' � Presentation: Oar. Louis Feinstein, ,er/Operaterr Parking was pointed out to be approximately 18 spaces short. However, the applicant proposed a shared parking concept with the other portions of the center not drawing significant customers during the evening hours and pointed out that they have roughly 40 off-site parking spaces reserved through an agreement with the property owner across Blaney Avenue. The applicant indicated that they are not able to conform with the Stevens Creek Boulevard Sidewalk and Landscaping Plan nor could they convince the property owner to provide landscaping along the Blaney Avenue frontage sufficient to screen parking in the area. The Committee Members pointed out that the awning would be out of balance. That it was not a critical issue and -that the landscaping proposal should at least be collected in one area along the public street frontage on Stevens Creek Boulevard to provide a more highly visible improvement to the site. Overall the Committee consented with the architectural , site, and landscaping details presented by the applicant. Staff pointed out numerous operational concerns related to this proposal. Staff is also concerned with the lack oa compliance with the Stevens Creek Boulevard Sidewalk Landscaping Plan, and screening of the parking lot area as viewed from Blaney Avenue. Item 8) Aeelication2_5-_U_-_®_4_____De_bcor_Coroorgtion_(Richard r Childess) i, - Use Permit to construct a 3,200 sq. ft. two-story office building within the Monta Vista neighborhood. The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Peninsula Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard. Presentation: Richard Childress, applicant The applicant outlined the architectural concept, landscaping and site and materials. While one Committee Member felt that the architecture may be somewhat overdone, the consensus of the Committee _ favored the proposal as presented by the applicant. Item 9) ApRlication_26-U_84__ Fontana's__inc_ - Use Permit to expand an existing 3,500 sq. ft. restaurant by 1,400 sq. ft. for a total of 4,900 sq. ft.

A proposal which blends the addition better with the present mansard architectural roof element or the squared off flat roof element on the westerly side of - the building, should be evaluated. Overall , the applicant agreed to return: to restudy the architecture, and come with a more orderly parking layout which does not concentrate compact spaces near the restaurant area. Item Number 9, therefore, was continued to the meeting of November 26, 1984. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes of October 22, 1984 were approved as published.

The Committee continued Item Number i to the meeting of December 10, 1984 to allow time- to notify neighboring property owners of the requested change to illuminate the south facing building mounted wall sign. ® INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS: Prior to hearing items regularly scheduled on the agenda, the Committee considered the following item which is scheduled before the Planning Commission. 6rarslications Center_ Properties! - Use Permit to increase the allowable office square footage to 160,000 sq. ft. , reduce the conventional residential condominium dwellings from 245 dwellings to 112 and construct 242 senior housing dwellings. Presentation: John Vidovich, applicant Dennis Henmi , architect Sylvia Kwan, architect The applicants explained the architectural modifications which substituted stucco for the wood siding materials originally proposed for the senior housing project. The appl iicants felt that the stucco material would better blend with the condominium units. Additionally, the applicants madif .ed the fascade of the four-story office building to incorporate squared off columns at the first level to match columns planned for the two-story office building on the corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Torre Avenue. 1 , .The Committee Members reviewed the proposal and indicated their consent with the modifications. The Committee felt that matey of the objections raised during the initial di scussi on of this item have been significantly addressed by these modifications. One Member still feels that this proposed does not belong in this location. He indicated that the project development does not provide an adequate transition from the lower intensity along Stevens Creek Boulevard, still has traffic concerns and believes the improvements must take place first, and he questioned the logic of providing more senior housing when community needs housing aimed at the Mork force. The Committee's consensus was the problems associated with site are "soluble" and that the proposal should proceed ahead from here with the consent of the Committee relating to design and architecture. Item 2) Agolication 21-U-84 - Michael Weber and Fred Michaud - Use Permit to add approximately 14,000 sq. ft. to an existing 5,000 sq. ft. office building.

The applicant was returning to illustrate the architectural elevations. The Committee noted again the architecture is different from surrounding Luildings, that it was somewhat ® detached from the Vallco Area to tie in, but the Committee felt that the comaatibility with surrounding structures was not necessary. The Committee reaffirmed its consent with the proposal. Item 3) Aeelication_26--_U-84 -_Pont_a_n_a'_s_Inc. _(_Rest_a_uran_t_ Exgansion) - Use Permit to expand an existing-3,500 sq. ft. restaurant by 1,400 sq. ft. for a total of 4,900 sq. ft.

(Continued from the Meeting of November 13, 1984) The Committee reviewed the modified architecture which continues the roof line treatment over the proposed addition area, the Committee concluded that the change was what they were looking for and that the site plan changes removing the compact spaces from proximity to the restaurant was desirable. The Committee discussed the possibility of incorporating a medianization of the traffic ingress and egress off of Stevens Creek Boulevard. The applicant agreed to look into this change with staff. Item 4) Application 27-U-84 __Torre_Professional Center (MiltonJ_ ------------ ------------------------ Pagonisa_DDS) - Use Permit to expand an existing single ® story office structure by 1,890 sq. ft. into a two story office structure.

The Committee noted possible solutions including adding diagonal spaces along the parking sisle'on the south side of the building, providing off-site parking, or demonstrating through a parking survey that the parking standard proposed is sufficient. The Committee reviewed the architectural elements and felt that some architectural detailing should be incorporated onto the south side of the building, perhaps using windows or other architectural elements. The applicant agreed to look into treatment of the southerly fascade.

The subject proper`y is located on the nest side of De Anza Boulevard between Valley Qreen Drive and Freeway 280 (10725 De Anza Boulevard and Bollinger Road) . Presentation: Ed Storm, Developer Craig Almeleh, Architect - Dennis Kobza and Associates Vice-Chairman Rooker indicated that he hoped for more 0askewedness" to minimize the building mass as viewed from De Anza Boulevard. The applicant responded that the building was not that large and the grade would be the same as Anthony's Pier Nine Restaurant. The applicant indicated that they could pick up an additional five feet of setback through minor rear-angements in the parking lot. The Committee discussed the reciprocal access with Anthony's Pier Nine and the office building to the south. The Committee clarified that the parapet would screen all of the roof equipment. The applicant assured that no portion would project above the parapet. The applicant indicated that 24" - 36" box trees would be located in the four tree locations in the parking lot to provide an immediate impact. Vice-Chairman Rooker requested that the applicant consider planters in the balcony areas. The applicant agreed that he would look into spotting planters at either of the corners or periodic locations along the balcony. The atrium space was clarified to be plantings, ornate stairway, and skylights. 1 „S F;:T aXR fi wASAC fli notes of January 2B, 1985 -364 r - The glass was clarified to be a tinted blue color with no reflective characteristics. The glass is considered an architectural theme which blends wiith the blue stripe located on the parapet. Vice-Chairman Rooker asked if the applicant would consider lowering the building ..hick the applicant indicated they would commit to working with the staff to possibly lower the building. In summary, the Committee concluded that the proposal is a fine project which is well detailed and with a few subtle changers is recommended for approval. Changes would include the possible lowering of the pad and incorporating planters into the balcony areas. The Committee requested that if the landscape changes were significant, that they would be brought to the Architectural Committee otherwise 1a_.adseaping as proposed is satisfactory. Item 2) li�cation2�t_i��S - ChrgB iQg� Lg__ nico - Requesting approval of a Use Permit to construct a 15,000 sq. ft. retail/commerical building. The property is located on the northeast corner of De Anza Boulevard and Bollinger Road. Presentation: Mike Horton - Edwin Payers Architects Christine La Monico, Applicant Mr. Horton indicated that the applicant 's wished the corner building to be a focal point and they didn't think that the box entrance treatment will dominate the building. Vice-Chairman Rooker questioned the "baseball cap” treatment of Building No. 2 as it appears from Bollinger Road. He felt that this would be an architectural concern. He asked if the site plan could not be modified to bring Building No. 2 up to the street with parking located behind the building. The Committee Members discussed the pros and cons of rearranging the site plan and the problems of the westerly sun entering the large glass area proposed for Building No. 2. Vice-Chairman Rooker commented on the lack of "people" materials such as canvasses, awnings, etc. , which could be utilized to liven up the buildings. The Committee concluded that they could not recommend approval at this time and asked the applicant to restudy the site plan and possibly consider moving the buildings and return to the next Architectural and Site and Approval meeting of February 11 , 1985. The Committee clarified that the landscaping and signage was detailed on the plans and should return to the Committee even if this project goes on to the Planning Commission as proposed. Additionally, the Committee clarified that their concerns with the site pl-- included the high blank wall ® which would back up to the residences on the east side and the high visibility of the parking lot located in front of the buildings. 2 - .w art,: aTR7.7.WMIYl�m-R �.As= Minutes of .January 28® 1' Item 3) �Ilsesn___3- 4-� -_F'asa 1_Ig�vtat -Csa a D Requesting approval of a Use Permit to construct 25 townhouse units on approximately 2.14 acres located on the southeast corner of Blaney Avenue and Price Avenue. Presentations Pawl Tai , American Design and Engineering Joseph Chui, Applicant The applicants indicated that the proposal is comparable to two projects across from City Hell and the apartments located across Blaney Avenue. The design concept is necessary to get 25 townhouses onto the subject property. Staff reviewed the land use history explaining that the property was designated for only 4.4 - 7.7 dwelling units per gross acre prior to the 1979 General flan. The 1979 Plan altered the range to 5-10 dwelling units per acre with a potential 20% density bonus resulting in a maximum 12 units per acre as presented by t'.e applicant. Staff questioned whether this density level is appropriate given the lower 4.4 dwelling units per acre densities located in the surrounding neighborhoods and 7.7 dwelling units per acre density located on the duplexes across Blaney Avenue. Member Nobel indicated that she favors the project. Member ® Mann also supports the plan. Both Members indicated that it provides opportunities for people who want to give here. `dice-Chairman Rooker stated he had no particular problem with the denisity but indicates the following site design related concerns: 1. Driveways Should be discouraged on Blaney Avenue. 2. Possibly move the open-space to the corner and shift the corner building to the inside open-space area. 3. The applicant should pay attention to treatment of the building which is in the line of sight with Rodrigues Avenue. 4. The applicant should try to stagger the long straight walls in the building, making the building more "fluid". 5. The applicant should be required to landscape the rear yards with major trees to shield the buildings. 6. Felt that the architecture was perhaps to strong and would not blend well with the predominately horizontal or vertical wood, composition or shake ® roof elements on surrounding buildings. 3 ,r 4 C "inutes of January 28„ 1 Item ) e2Slicati '-dL ^_ iJe P Fc.

The applciant proposes to locate the new "Sneakers Restaurant and Bar" in the current Red Coach Restaurant site located in the Vallco Village Shopping Center at the northwest corner of Wolfe Road and Pruneridge Avenue. Presentation: Bob Herbage, Architect Dennis Chargin, Applicant The Committee concurred that ttiee overall application and architecture was attractive and the applicant was encouraged to do more in the way of awning treatment, skylights, window treatment, etc. to identify the building. Vice-Chairman Rooker commented that the entrance appeared to be off-center with the major architectural treatment and that the vestibule was perhaps too small for the scale of the restaurant. Both items were left as an option for the applicant's consideration. Vice-Chairman Rooker and other Committee Members discussed the possibility of additional landscaping in the pedestrian walkway areas. Mr. Gary Rotzen of Vallco Park indicated that Vallco was considering additional landscape improvements, to the center. The signage as shown was approved by the Committee. The applicant indicated that they may return with a pedestrian level signage and possibly a free-standing monument sign on Wolfe Road.

Presentation: William Plimpton, Representing Applicant Staff indicated opposition to the perimeter driveway serving the drive-up window stating that it severely compromises the perimeter landscape area and is inconsistent with the south Saratoga/Sunnyvale Road Conceptual Zoning Plan. The applicant indicated the design is partially dictated by the desire to keep the existing business operating throughout construction and necessity to retain the existing structure. Committee Member Mann offered that perhaps the building could be built in parts and that a cclmpletely new structure could be erected which would allow the business to remain open. Committee Member Morrison favored eliminating the driveway primarily for traffic related reasons. Committee Member Miller indicated concerns over the driveway location. Committee Member Nobel thought it was a nice design given the fact that they were adding on to an existing building. On the subject of architecture, Committee Member Morrison felt that the north elevation was uninspiring to which: the applicant indicated that the area would be landscaped to provide screening along the south side. The windows mould not be mirrored and would go down to the grade level as depicted on the elevation e.ihibits. Committee Member Mann reiterated that she is not happy with the driveway in the front of the building neAt to the street.

Chairman Miller indicated that he had a problem approving retention of the free-standing sign due to its height and favored a reduction in its height. ' Mr. Rooker indicated that he might consider lowering the sign. Committee Member Mann indicated that she prefers removing the ground sign. Committee Member Jackson stated that retention of the ground sig:a, and two building mounted signs is inconsistent with the Sign Ordinance and such an approval would set a precident. She indicated that she was comfortable with the staff 's recommendation. Committee Member Chapman indicated that he preferred the applicant be required to remove the ground sign or remove one of the building mounted signsto conform to the Ordinance. A straw vote was taken indicating that at least two of the Members favored removing the ground sign and a third Member favored removing either the ground s4lgn or one of the building .taunted signs.

As a second option, staff preferred a restricted cane-way in-only driveway off Stevens Creek Boulevard with the retention of the building form close to the L-shaped configuration of the previous submittal. The applicant argued that the economics do not permit the more elaborate L-shaped and indented building design plus the costs to install the median or driveway treatment. Committee Member Mann felt that the off-set was rare interesting and that the egress off Stevens Creek Boulevard was undesirable. She indicated preference for the L-shaped configuration but would consider a compromise. Chairman Miller stated he does not share the level of concern relating to the traffic impacts but also felt that the building configuration of the earlier submittal with the jog and the L-shaped was not substantially different from the rectilinear design proposed in the latest submittal.

Committee Member Chapman indicated that he liked the appearance of the building but commented that the oleanders in the front planter where perhaps too large and suggested some flowering perenials instead. 4 I =g M>, 01.S f ix"S Aill t v C&,,a mi ttee Member Jackson also commented that the oleanders and pittisphsrum are inappropriate. She liked the building but was concerned about the pad height and whether the building would obstruct views from the building across Pasadena Avenue. She favored the mix use ctancept for Morita Vista, however, she was concerned that with five buildings under construction in Monta Vista, they may cause, em essive traffic and was interested in understanding the parking formula for an office development. Chairman Miller was concerned ,about the pad height and felt that the building was a "great job" and liked the mixed use concept. Ann Anger, resident in the neighborhood favored the mix use of the building, commented that the sidewa.:ks should be large enough to accommodate public pedestrian traffic as well as people along the store fronts. She asked if the color would compliment the grey/white and brick vaneer on the D.C.E. building across the street and indicated a concern about the lattice work.

Member Mann indicated no concerns about size. T1 -- applicant clarified in response to a question from Member Chapman that the planting within the entrance median off iurre Avenue would be lower than the drivers -•ie„e. The Committee recommended approval of the second phase landscaping for Application 17-U-83 per the 8 Standard Conditions and the Exhibits presented and a requirement that the vine and shrub sizes be increased to a minimum of 5 gallon and tree sizes a minimum of 15 gallons.

Minutes of June 10, 1985 ASSAC-373 --- _------------------_ __—_______- _�e_______ Member Miller indicated that he was impressed, but shared Member Jackson's concern regarding the building's massiveness. He felt the massiveness resulted from the building's pad being approximately 5 +t. higher than the curb elevation and the building being approximately 42 ft. tall. The applicant's landscape architect discussed how the landscaping would help soften the building. Member Mann expressed concern with the messiness of the proposed Eucalyptus tree. The landscape architect indicated that the proposed tree was a clean variety. Member Nobel askeJ if the trees would grow taller than the height of the building.

Member Nobel felt the plan wa well thought out and liked everything. She indicated that the office building and senior housing did not bear a relationship to each other but that this was not necessarily bad. Member Mann felt that it was an excellent idea to put the apartments on top of the parking suF-ucture, but questioned the adequacy of 57 spaces for the senior project. She asked why the second office building was proposed for Torre Avenue instead of Stevens Creek Boulevard. The applicant indicated that the office's location helped open up the site. She expressed concern about the "extremely high density" and asked that the landscaping plans return to the Architectural Committee. 3 A. S. A. C. Minutes of Jung .109 19A5' �, - i►� Member Jackson liked the mixed use and indicated that the City's sensitivity to senior housing was beneficial. However, she questioned the size of the units and continuity of the building form. Member Miller asked the applicant to clarify the phasing of the project. The applicant indicated that only one-half of the senior units would be constructed at the same time as the offire building. Member Miller indicated that he thought the Council had required that all of it was built at or.ce. Member Miller asked if any barriers were proposed between the Waterfall Condominiums and -the Senior Units. The applicant replied that the courtyards would be secure. Member Miller felt that this area was intended to be a transition area. He felt tl, the height of the residential parking structure at Stevens Creek Boulevard was in conflict with this objective because it would not transition smoothly to the one-story buildings to the east. He also questioned the bulk and mass relationship to the existing projects and asked how the different structures related to. each other. Member Mann asked if it was possible to eliminate or reduce the number of apartments and spread out the senior housing so that it was not so "tight".

The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Bollinger Road and Miller Avenue. Presentation: Bob Joyce, Griffin/Joyce Associates, AIA Mr. Joyce outlined the proposal. He addressed staff 's written comments as follows: - The church would prefer to put only one tree in the center aisle of the parking lot off Miller Avenue,. Two trees would make installation of a volleyball court infeasible. The planter area along the north property line behind the administration building tends to accumulate litter which is generated by the adjoining school. It would be difficult to pick up this litter if ground cover were installed in the area. - The planter bed south of the future bus parking area is raised 4 ft. above the grade of the parking lot. Three existing Monterey Pines in the planter bed shall be retained. Mr. Joyce felt this should be sufficient to screen the buses. 1 FIN Staff commented that additional shrubs may be desirable along both east property lines. Mr. Joyce indicated ivy currently exists along the east property line adjoining the Miller Avenue parking area and shrubs are already an the school 's side of the east property line adjoining the parking area off Bollinger Road. Member Mann commented that the plant selection lacked color. Mr. Joyce identified several plants on the landscape plan which he felt were colorful. Member Jackson was concerned that the screening proposed for the buses was inadequate. Member Nobel indicated that the Magnolias proposed alcng Miller Avenue were slow-growing and, therefore; would not screen the parking lot ' for several years. Mr. Joyce responded that the Magnolia species selected was the fastest growing species available. The Committee approved the proposed landscape plan per staff °s recommendations, with the following exceptions: - One tree shall be provided in the center aisle of the parking lot off Miller Avenue. - Ground cover is not required along the property line behind the administration building. - Shrubs are not required along either east property line. - The applicant shall plant the largest 24" box specimen Magnolias available in the planting strip which parallels Miller Avenue. - The screening for the buses proposed by the applicant is adequate.

Chairman Miller felt the one-way in driveway was a good solution to his concerns regarding traffic congestion on McCl el I an Road. Member Mann indicated that the berming provided along pe Anz.a Boulevard should undulate. Member Jackson commented that the basic concern regarding the appropriateness of commercial activities at this corner remained. Traffic congestion, as well as other constraints* made a commercial establishment here undesirable. In addition, the landscape setback along De Anza Boulevard should be consistent with the South De Roza Boulevard Conceptual Plan. NEW BUSINESS: Item 2) 822 isaiion__HQ-51,b1�_1____ Geoe-ge_Som� tRayrg d�Rooker) - Requesting approval of a ground sign for an office center located on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately 200 ft. west of Blaney Avenue. Presentation: Raymond Rooker, Architect Mr. Rooker summarized the proposal . He indicated an 9 ft. height was necessary in order to maintain the proper proportion between the sign and the trellis and to prevent the sign from getting visually lost in the complex. The applicant proposed mounting the following additional signs on the building(s) : - Street number/building letters - Directory sign - 3 sq. ft. maximum tenant signs on doors - Existing center identification on wall facing Stevens Creek Boulevard The Committee agreed that the proposed heign t was exces=ive. Several members commented that the sign shioulJ be consistent with the signs on adjoining properties, most of which do not exceed a 5 ft. height. Several other Members felt a reduced height would help to differentiate the sign from the trellis. Member Chapman thought the center's name would still be visible if the sign were limited to & ft. or 7 ft. high. The applicant indicated that people would see only the green letters from the street. The wooden background wound merge with the trellis and not be noticeable. 2 None of the Members had concerns regarding the building-mounted signs. The Committee approved (4-0) Application HC-51,616. 1 with the stipulation that the grouAd sign not exceed & A ft. height per ASAC Resolution No. 1162. Item 3) LOnglicatic..��_15�i!'�5_�v__D IAn�a _Prc�Eerties_(Otis__�gC ., C_Mpertino inn) - Requesting approval of the north elevetjan, interior walkways, and interior balconies of a 126 unit motel. The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Highway 280 and De Anz a Boulevard. Presentation: Denis Henmi , Architect Mr. Henmi summarized the modifications proposed on than exterior of the building. These modifications included the addition of granite to provide a transition between ta. north and east elevations and the addition of columns and granite tile to provide greater variety on the northern elevation. The materials proposed were gray glass, cool gray stucco, granite, and burgundy window frames/accents. Member Mann responded that the northern f ascade was still not very interesting. However, she liked the. granite which wraps from the north to the east elevation. She confirmed that the sign shown was not included in the proposal . The applicant indicated that only the easternmost portion of the northern fascade would be visible from the street. Member Mann commented that _all the fascades of a building should be interesting, even if they are 'not highly visible. Member Mann asked if balconies would improve the northern elevation. The applicant felt they would clutter the architecture. Member Jackson was concerned that there was not any significant differences between the revised drawings and the original proposal. Mrs. Ann Anger liked the project. Chairman Miller commented that the northern elevation still needed more relief. However, he felt the modifications were acceptable because most of the northern elevation would not be visible from the street. Chairman Miller also indicated that although he had liked the original treatment of the front entrance, he liked the modified treatment better. 3 s n ; h J. The applicant introduced the concepts proposed for` the interior courtyard. He indicated that landscaping old be a major component and vines would grow up the lattice installed adjacent to the building. Member Chapman felt the layout was attractive. He asked if the material selected +or the floor would hame sufficient traction to prevent people from slipping. The applicant indicated the would be used. Member Jackson recommended that as much greenery and color as possible should be incorporated into the courtyard's design to provide a contrast to the gray building. She was concerned that the architecture and materials appeared to lack variety or interest. The Committee recommended approval (2-1-1) of Application 15-U-B5 per ASAC Resolution No. 1163. The applicant for Item Number 5 was not present. Therefore, the Committee continued this item to the end of to meeting. INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS: Item 6) A9elicafioD_2B7U_85_____Manue1 89nzalez - Requesting approval of a use* permit to construct a two-story, single-family residence. The subject property is located zn the east c-ide of Peninsula Boulevard approximately 100 f t. <..outh of Granada Avenue. Presentation: Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales; Applicants Member Mann observed that all the other houses on Peninsula Boulevard were one-story. She felt that the house should be redesigned as a single-story structure in order to retain the character of the street. In addition, she noted that the lots in this area were generally too small to comfortably accommodate two-story houses. Member Chapman pointed out that several of th:e lots to the rear of the subject property had two-story homes which seemed to work fine. He also suggested that retention of the existing Pepper tree in front of the proposed house would help reduce the perceived mass. Chairman Miller agreed that the tree should be retained. Mrs. Ann Anger explained that Peninsula Boulevard was important to the families in the area. Therefore, she did not want "hodge-podge" developmp^} here. She felt that the proposed house should maintain the same front yard setback as other houses along the street. She requested that a more attractiv= architectural concept be required and the proposal cn-ply with all the setbacks outlined i ► the R1 Zoning Ordinance. She was not concerned that the structure was two stories. 4 �s ti g +?i -,'. y,"rt..,*4 _ r4 a s,•>s,4!^ .. r, 7 :.;e { y Mrs. Carol McDowell was concerned that the housa_,,4,qas 2 stories and felt the architecture was uctiattraet$ve Shay indicated that the lot could accommodate a 1-stary, three bedroom home and still comply with the City's setback requirements. In addition, a, true-story house woOd ba. i nconsi€tent with the character of ;the neighborhood. The two-story houses behind the subject property are on larger lots than the applicant 's lot. 46.1 Mr. Ricardo Perez compared the proposal to the houses conv-!ructed by Terry Brown. He pointed out that Mr. Brown's homes had S ft. setbacks, whereas the applicant was proposing a 7 ft. side setback. He felt the proposed house had "clean" lines and would help improve the neighborhood. Member Chapman and Chairman Miller both felt the architecture lacked creativity. They suggested using more imaginative colors than gray and white and modifying the exterior material an at least the front elevation of the first story to wood. Item 7) Agglncata�D2�_J_95_�_H_&_D_Pro�►eCties - Requesting approval of a use permit to construct a single-story, 6,900 sq. ft. professional office building. The subject property is located on the west side of Portal Avenue approximately 200 fr.. north of Stevens Creek Boulevard. F Presentation: William Hirschman, Applicant The applicant incicated that the building consisted of a dark brick and glass exterior with a light tan the roof (not spanish tile) . The existing *42 Och Pepper tree would be retained. The applicant suggested adding security gates at the: entrance to the sunken garage and substituting the proposed bronze glass with black glass. The Committee preferred the original bronze glass. Member Jackson liked the material selection and the underground parking. Member Mann agreed that the underground parking would help hide the cars. Chairman Miller and Member Chapman were concerned that the noisiest activities (parking and trash enc'•.osure) were located adjacent to the residential area. Member Chapman suggested installing an 8 ft. masonry wall to help protect the residents. IThere is already an 8 ft. wall behind the Marocco building, which is on the other side of Top Furniture. Member Chapman requested that the handicap ramp on the front elevation be screened by landscaping and the character of the site be retained by planting some flowering fruit trees. He pointed out that the stairs which lead from the ® - handicap ramp to the garage had a blind corner at the bottom step. He did not favor requiring an ingress-egress easement between the subject property and Top Furniture. ki Chairman Miller suggested installing brick pavers at the maim entrance from Portal Avenue. otem B) Ao21ication26-U-85__-_Lawrence @MX - Requesting approval of a use permitto construct+ two detached single-family residences. The subject property is located on the south side of Rodrigues Avenue approximately 450 ft. east of Torre Avenue. 4 Presentation: Larry Guy, Applicant Louis Pina, Architect The applicant presented drawings which had been revised to be consistent with staff 's comments. Chairman Miller ind Member Chapman suggested that landscaping be installed in the Water District easement between the subject property and City Hall. The purpose of this landscaping would be to provide a transition between the two properties. In addition, both Members recommended that second story windows (except bathroom windows) are not permitted on the eastern elevation of the easterly unit. ' Both were also concerned ;.°gat the master bedrooms of the two units had winc°.ws facing each other across the 6 ft. space between the houses. Member Mann did not feel the patio area at the western end of the property was usable. She asked if the houses could to redesigned so that a larger patio area could be available in one location. She suggested locating a portion of the western unit over the garage or stretching the units over a wider portion of the street frontage, pointing out the two units do not need to be identical. Member Jackson felt the proposal was consistent with the neighborhood and the outdoor space designs were innovative. Item 5) Apglication_ 21-U-P4 - Michael__Weber and Fred Michaud - Inf ormal review of architectural renderings for a 13,000 sq. ft. office building.

Presentation: Stephen Coulthard, Amcce Sign Company Staff outlined the subject proposal , commenting that the proposed signs were consistent with the Sign Ordinance, provided that the applicant was limited to a maximum of one sign per tenant. Several members commented that a bronze background color, consistent with the previously approved ground sign, would be preferable to the proposed white background. Several other members suggested a duller background color (beige) which would blend in with the building. None of the members liked the proposed white background. The Committee asked the applicant how many signs would be installed. The applicant indicated that he only anticipated the two downstairs tenants requesting signs at this time. The Committee was concerned that upstairs tenants may also want signs in the future. In order to prevent the front of the building from getting cluttered, the possibility of limiting the applicant to two signs per side of the building was discussed. The applicant indicated this would be acceptable. 1 21 Member Chapman commented that tenants in office buildings generally do not rely on casual passersby for business. Therefore, individual tenant signs should not be necessary. erssary. The building's name on the groaned sign should be adequate for clients to locate the building. Member Chapman also commented that the proposed signs detracted from the professional appearance of the building. He felt the signs cheapened the building and gave it a retail lock. He pointed out that the redwood trees planted in the front landscape area would eventually block the signs. Several Members agreed with member Chapman's comments. They felt that the proposed signs were intended to advertise the tenants rather, than identify the building. They indicated that it would be preferable to eliminate the individual signs on the building and, instead, incorporate a maximum of four (4) tenants into the ;;round sign. The applicant stated that the ground sign was already constructer!, per the Committee's approval in May, 1955. Any modifications at this time would be expensive. He had excluded tenants from the ground sign based on the understanding that individual signs would be permitted on the building. This understanding was derived from a discussion with the Planning Department. Member Jackson commented that if the applicant was told he could have building signs, the Committee should be consistent and permit these signs. Member Nobel felt that the Committee should based its decision on what was best for the City in the long run. She moved that Application HC-51,613. 1 be -denied with directions to the applicant to incorporate the signage for individual tenants into the ground sign. Member Mann seconded the motion. The motion was adopted (3-2) . The applicant indicated that he intended to appeal the Committee's decision. if the City Council supports the appeal , the Committee recommended that the City Council reduce the tenant signs to a maximum length of 4 or 5 ft, permit a maximum of 2 signs on the front and rear of the building. and require a bronze background color, consistent with the ground sign. The Committee unanimously approved the vinyl lettering proposed on the east and west doors of the building. 2 INFORMAL REVIEW OF USE PERMIT APPLICATIONs. Item 3) Rick _gad D a 0— - Requesting approval of a use permit to construct a commareial>office building consisting of approximately 69700 sq. ft. The subject property is located on the southwest corner of De Anza Boulevard and McClellan Road. - Presentation: Bill Hagman and Deke Hunter Site Flan: Chairman Miller commented that the driveway on McClellan Road could be dangerous. It will be difficult for drivers exiting the property to.get into the left-turn lane. He suggested limiting the driveway to one-way in traffic only. The Committee was concerned that the proposal was not consistent with the 35 ft. minimum landscaped setback required in the recently adopted South De Anza Boulevard Conceptual Zoning Plan. Member Chapman suggested reducing the setback between the building and west property line in order to increase the front landscaping. He indicated that the proposed 16 ft. setback would collect trash and be difficult to police. He felt that an B ft. high masonry barrier would protect the privacy of the adjoining residential property. Member Nobel felt the building was very uninspiring. She was particularly concerned that the parking was located at the front of the property where it would be highly visible to tale street. The applicant indicated that although locating parking at the rear of a building worked .well for office structures, it did not work for retail establishments. Member Nobel suggested that, perhaps, an office might be more appropriate at this location. In addition to permitting a more attractive parking layout, an office would generate less traffic than a retail store. Given the congestion at McClellan Road and De Anza Boulevard, less traffic would be a real bonus. Member Mann agreed with Member Nobel regarding the desirability of locating parking at the rear of the property. However, if this was nox possible, she supported Member Chapman's proposal to move the building closer to the west- property line. High berms would be desirable along De Anza Boulevard. Member Jackson commented that the property had many constraints affecting it ties Bus turnout, 35 ft. setback from curb, etc. ) which could make retail use infeasible. She felt it would establish a bad precedent to waive the 35 ft. setback requirement so soon after adoption of the Conceptual Zoning Plan. 3 Member Chapman said the proposed building lacked d creativity, as did many gather buildings along South De Anne Boulevard. He pointed out that greate,- architectural variety was needed. This could be accomplished by incorporating different textures and window treatments or by varying the structure's height. The remodeling of Kentucky Fried Chicken was identified as a project which successfully introduced interest into a previously plain building. Member Mann requested that the applicant "spice-up" the architecture. She suggested making each tenants' frontage different, like at the Oaks Shopping Center. Member Jackson commented that flesh tones and hard, sterile materials like the should be avoided. Incorporating more earth tones would add warmth to the building. She agreed with Member Chapman's comments regarding architectural variety. The Committee continued the application for two weeks in order to enable the applicant to revise his plans consistent with the Committee's comments. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Minutes of June 24, 19859 were approved as amended. INTERCOMMISSION NOTES: Staff explained that Sedway/Cooke would provide the Committee with some instruction on site and architectural design. This instruction would be provided either on July 18, 1985 or .in September. All the Committee Members indicated they could attend a meeting on July 18. Staff promised to contact them prior to July 18 to confirm the meeting. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. by Chairman Miller to the next regular scheduled meeting of July 22, 1985.

Staff summarised the General Plan policies anti "City Lesigr. Standardswhich pertain ,to the projsct.. The architect discussed the pro:ect 's relationship to the master plan for Vallco Park. He indicated that that towers would consist of two slender elements with compact footprints. He felt the design would br4pak tap the mass a,: the buildings and leave the site fairly ope'r-. The applicant plans to construct a pedestrian plaza an top of the parking structure in the futv.re. Member Jackson commented that the projoct should, include elements designed speci f i ca.k .y for Cupertino. This could help personalize the proposal . Member Kamm was concerned about the 1 arse area covered by the parking structure. She stressed the importance of landscaping the top cif the structure and suggested installing tall berms along Stevens Creek. Boulevard in order to hide the structure . from amorists. In , addi'tion, the first phase perimeter planting should be ` retalned in the second phase to create an, -immediate morressi on of mature growth. Mrs. Ann Anger commented that Vallco has a good reputation. She did not have .any concerns regarding the proposal . Mr.+ Fray Rooker said he has always been impressed with Vallco. He commented that the proposed - hotel would become part of Cupertino's image, if Op rowed. Hmwever,, he was surprised that such strong architecture ,was being oroposed. The Q::isting Vallco buildings are low-key, subtle, and, therefore, elegant. The proposed hotel is very strong and post-modern. He asked if the proposalmight be more appropriate for an urban, rather than suburban. environment. He indicated his comments were intended to b neutral .

Hocook, Architect Member Jackson abstained from the discussion of this i*em. The applicant outlined the measures taken to reduce the massiveness of the building. These included reducing the pad by 3 it. , increasing the front setback, recessing the 3rd floor, modifying the center front facade, modifying the building materials to blue glass and pre-cast concrete, and increasing the number of trees along De Anza Boulevard. Vice-Chairperson Nobel commented that she had been concerned about the earlier building's compatibility with the surrounding properties. She felt that the subject building was much more appropriate for this location. She recognized that the subject building is the same square footage as the earlier building. The changes to reduce massiveness are primarily illusionary, although effective. Member Chapman► confirmed that the large trees adjacent to Anthony's Pier 9 would be retained. Vice-Chairperson Nobel requested that the landscaping return to the Committee at a later date. Member Mann confirmed the accuracy of the materials board. She indicated that the colors on the color rendering were too bright and the more muted colors on the materials board were preferable. ' In response to a question bT- Member Chapman, the architect indicated that the second and third floor glass would be slightly reflective in order to meet Title 24 requirements. The first f 1 oor glass would also be slightly reflective, but to a lesser degree. The architect felt the modifications strengthened the building. He commented that the most significant changes were recessing the third story and eliminating the granite. Recessing the third story will provide a smoother transition to the subject building from the adjoining single story structures. The Committee agreed with the architect 's comments.

The ASAC was joined by the Chairman and members of the Planning Commission, which body also convened in formal session. ROLL CALL (ASAC) : Present: Committee Memhers Chapman, Mann, Jackson, Chairman Miller Absent: Vice-Chairperson Nobel ROLL CALL (PLANNING COMM. ) : Present: Commissioners MacKenzie, Adams, Sorensen, Chairman C1 audy Absent: Commissioner Szabo Staff Present: R. Cowan, Planning Director S. Piasecki , Asst. Planning Director M. Caughey, Associate Planner ITEM 1: PRESENTATION BY SEDWAY/COOK ASSOCIATES REGARDING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF DESIGN REVIEW. Planning Director Cowan explained that the objective of this meeting is to gain a better understanding of the general principles of physical design review, and thus increase a effectiveness of all participants in the review pro "ss in meeting the city's development goals. Toward tha end, therefore, Tom Cook, Principal in the firm of Seoway/Cook Associates, has been invited to make a presentAtien illustrating these concepts and their relevance to the unique circumstances of the community. Mr. Cook is already acquainted with Cupertino through his firm's participation in the Monta Vista Design Guidelines study. Mr. Cook began his remarks with an overview of the design review process. He noted that case-specific design review is most effective when preceeded by a well-defined and predictable definition of community design values. The ASAC and Planning Commission should be :oncerned with shaping and articulating physical design policy as much or more than with critique of individual projects. 000016 ss, FRUMS OF 5MEMBER 18, 198 Page - 2 - .�.�---------- -----------------------------. —--------.--.--- Design analyais begins with the identification of major concerns to the community and the "driving forces" which influence the resulting form and substance of a development proposal: street views, major gateway features, hillside and watercourse views and historic structures are representative of these influential elements. Mr. Cook then presented a case study concerning Downtown Portland, Oregon. The objective of the study was control of building height and bulk so as to preserve view corridors to the City's waterfront park and landmark highway bridge. By identifying a 33 degree optimum viewing angle landward from the waterfront, a terraced building height allowance formula was derived. Discussion f of l.:awed regarding thR detailed design control methodologies used in prep.%ring the Portland study.. Planning Commission and ASAC members expressed concern regarding the adequacy of Cupertino's existing development controls to address the implications of height, bulk and material composition associated with more intensive urban-scale projects. Mr. Cook cited the newly-adopted Downtown Plan for the City of San Francisco, the provisions of which militate against certain architectural styles such as the post-modern and "Cubist" formats. While agreeing with the plan's objective of encouraging greater visual interest in building form and materials, he cautioned against incorporating excessive constraints in design policy documents when the result may be to disrupt the creative process. Mr. Cook then presented a second case example of e design controls approach developed for the City of Honolulu. In that context, he noted that a community can be classified into three geographically-defined categories, each of which demands different levels of intervention in the Design Review process: r a) Stable Areas: requiring minimal intervention because land uses and physical characteristics tend to retain undisturbed levels of visual quality. b) Enhancement Areas: characterized by generally stable patterns of density, use and character, but subject to some degree of blighting infiuences, such as high traffic levels. Greater intervention is justified here, provided that appropriate objectives are defined. 11INU'II S OF SEPW let 1905 - Page - 3 - c) Opp®rtui,ity Areas affected by tte greatest degree of change, and which would benefit most from precisely defined design parameters in advance of incremental development. As a general principle, therefore, he stated that where change is occuring or is anticipated to occur, the community must clear?y articulate its concerns prior to defining solutions; where no significant change is taking place or expected, emphasize maintenance of physical resources and existing visual charcter. In response to a question from ASAC member Chapman, Mr. Cook noted that while he is not completely familiar with Cupertino's regulatory structure, self-administering guidelines are most likely to attain the community's physical design objectives. A discretionary system is less effective and may even prove counterproductive. This observation engendered debate between Mr. Cook and Mr. Paul Sedway, also a Principal in the Sedway/Cook firm, regarding the organization of the public review fu►iction. Planning Commission Chariman Claudy noted that controversial projects are subject to early review by the Commission and ASAC both, and that this approach has been effective in limiting the scope of review to those matters most worthy of concern. Mr. Cook agreed with this approach and suggested that a -:zriation thereof be considered for all projects of major scales that is, to allow a sketch book review of the project before the Hoard, using only concept drawings. By so doing, the designer is spared the expense of refined presentation drawings at the early review stage, and the City's boards are relieved from the sense of obligation that a finished submittal sometimes creates. In response to questions from both the ASAC and Commission, Mr. Sedway cautioned against inspecific criticism of design submittals. "Compatibility" may in fact prove less important than the project's functional relationships, such as to surrounding built-forms. "Harmony" is an indistinct term, unless related to matters of color, texture and materials. Specific critique should be based on definitve information, rather than speculation. Mr. Cook explained several techniques which can be used to help visualize a development proposal within its physical context. These techniques include photomontage and scale model video tapes prepared by the UC Berkeley Simulation Laboratory. Shading and Solar orientation diagrams can be useful ® also to guage the impact of a proposal on nearby public spaces. In summary, Messrs. Cook and Sedway suggested the following questions as precedent to public policy x , ' MI1 'St S OF SEA 15 1965 Page - 4 - development on matters of design control: Does the 4rea in question merit Design Review? Are the City's objectives s:< .•iculated and predictable? What are the aspects of th, %:Yvan area that are most highly valued, and are these values realistic? After discussion with staff, the ASAC and Commission agreed to follow-up this discussion of principles with a field tour of certain sub-areas in Cupertino to assess the effectiveness of various regulatory documents and area-wide Specific P1 anc now in place relative tr, actual field results. These areas will include Vallco Park, N. De Anza Blvd. and Monta Vista. The field tour will take place on October 9th, beginning at 5:00 PM at City Hall. OTHER BUSINESS L+.rector Cowan asked the Planning Commission to consider a possible zoning ordinance revision to provide more effective control over the loacti.on of restaurants in close proximity to residential zones. It was noted that the Commission will be asked to consider such a case at their next meeting in which a former convenience grocery store on Bubb Road is proposed for conversion to a restaurant use. Following brief discussion, the Commission adopteda resolution authorizing staff tto schedule a public hearing to consider amendments to the General Commercial zoning ordinance. The adjcvrned regular meeting was then adjourned to the next regular Monday evening meetings of the ASAC, beginning at 6:30 PM and Planning Commission, beginning at 7:00 PM, respectively, on September 23, 1985. 4City; =TV '" APPROVE]): - ,Clerk Chairperson LAR .

The site is located on the south side of Stevens Creek Blvd. opposite Bandley Drive. Presentation: Michael Horton • In response to the Committee's inquiry, the applicant explained that. the major tenant at Crossroads Center opposes use of 90 degree parking stalls, as suggested by staff. accordingly, a slight deficit in required perking spaces will remain. In response to the staff 's remarks about removal of numerous existing trees in the parking area, Member Chapman suggested that thesv- trees should be retained to the extent possible. The applicant was encouraged to attempt relocation of these trees. Further enplanantion was requested regarding the configuration of the frontage landscape berm adjoining the required transit turnout on the site's Stevens Creek Blvd. frontage. Mr. Horton noted that a revised drawing has already been submitted to staff, and that the required 10' depth of landscaping has been attained through adjustment of parking stall angles. - 1 - ay; CONTINUED ITEMS ITEM 2: Angus& Requesting approval of three satellite dish antenna receiving units within a light-industrial complex. The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Valley GrPen Drive and Reardon Avenue. Presentations: Robb Casey (Ikeda Assoc. ) Jim Lohr (Apple Computer) Judy and Joe Sarraza (Residents) Staff- explained that the application had been cont= ued from a_ prior ASAC meeting to allow develgpment of criteria for location and screening of satellite dish antenna systems in non-residential areas. The application has been returned at this time per ASAC direction, even though the requested criteria are not available. Mr. Casey stated that tdae applicant now wishes to use the proposed receiving facility as an ongoing test center. Up to four antennas would be tested at a time, and units would be exchanged periodically through the roll-up doors at the back of the building. Mr. and Mrs. Harraza expressed concern about visibility of the receiving station from their home; the facility will be difficult to conceal at this location. Member Mann then presented copies of proposed criteria for satellite antenna regulation which she had developed in response to the present case. She also dislayed a cross-section drawing depicting the proposed antenna site and its relationship to the adjoining homesites. Member Nobel suggested that the proposed criteria should be evaluated separately from the present case.. Regarding the application, she stated the ASAC's most important concern is to prevent the antennas from standing-out, and that the proposal as submitted would expose the residents to the visual affects of these devices on a continuous basis. She stated that she would not incline to approve the application absent a convincing demonstration that an acceptable alternative location exists which would not impact residential uses. Chairman Miller commented that the regulatory issues concerning satellite antenna systems are becoming critical with the increasing popularity of their use. Mr. Lohr stated that Apple Computer is considering alternative satellite receiving sites on their campus ® which are not adjacent to residential uses. 2 - The Committee then DENIED Application AGAC 51a62ee1 on a vote of 4 -- O. Subsequent to the motipn, Member.Chapmen encouraged the applicant to seek an alternative location away from residential areas, `end to accompany any future site approval application for such facility with a sectional drawing, as suggested by Member Mann. Staff is further instructed to continue development of appropriate criteria for installatimn of satellite receiving devices, based on the direction provided by the ASAC this evening.

The application also includes expansion of the kitchen and administrative office areas. The site is located at the Northeast corner of Foothill Blvd. and Cupertino Road. Presentation: Jack Ross, Project Architect In response to the staff 's written comments, Mr. Ross exi-1 ained that the requested Southerly elevation drawing is still under preparation. The Committee agreed to review the drawing at their regular meeting of 10-14-85 immediately prior to Planning Commission action on the Use Permit. Generally, ASAC members felt that the proposal completes the facility and improves its visual quality. They noted that the expansion effort will entail removing certain specimen trees, and encouraged the designer to mini7tize disruption of the existing landscaping. Chairman Miller inquired as to the need for the fence which exists on the site's Foothill Blvd. frontage. Mr. Ross explained that its serves to reduce the apparent height of the three story buildings behind it as seen from the roadway, and staff noted that this device was required for sound attenuatie,n purposes. ITEM 4) APPLICATION 337_-U_-_855:__Fontana'_s___R_e_st_au_r__an_t requesting approval of a Use Permit-to ads! approximately 1000 square feet to an existing 3,500 sq. ft. restaurant, and to modify the roofline of a previously-approved addition.

The addition contemplated under this application is located on the south side of the existing uuilding, and encompasses mostly storage space. Member Nobel stated that the continuity sought by the ASAC in the prior application for additional floor space is lacking in the present instance. She suggested returning the awning element at the East entry to the north elevation. Discussion followed regarding various combinations of the roof and awning elements. Member Chapman noted that the relocatdd East entry adds bulk to the building which is difficult to assimilate with the proposed roofline. and canopies. Chairman Miller stated that the designer.. should attempt to prevent the addition from appearing as an add-on. The design integrity of the e.:i sti ng statement of the building should be retained. The applicants were also encouraged to retain their outdoor seating area.

Presentations: Jack Mulqueeny Tom Sparling Mr. Mulqueeny explained that the proposed "Decrabond" metal roofing system has been selected by the Northpoint Board of Directors to replace the worn wood shake material on two units adjacent to the south boundary of the complex. The metal material will improve fire safety and thus help to control the rising cost of insurance for the complex. Discussion followed regarding the potentially adverse impact of the r .•ofing material change upon the valuation of the complex,, especially if further use of the material beyond the present application is expected. The applicants were urged to obtain a professional appraisal before committing to the proposed material. Three Committee members expressed concern that the proposed materials change is of sufficient importance to �..IT 1 71 .`s Via: 3'�*a� `7. � .r�';n' ^, ,a�a a a �,k`; �,. ,;• 49 t , Paige warrant consideration by the entire Homeowners Association membership, rather than just the Board of Directors. o Member Nobel disagreed with some of the . Committee's concerns, noting that the Board of Directors have followed due process under the Northpoint CC&R-"s to represent the Homeowners in this application.

DeAnza Blvd. Presentation: Deice Hunter Pill Hagman Planning Intern Smith reviewed the concerns stated in the Page 5 - staff report. The principal issues discussed were the total number of signs to be Hallowed for tenants with multiple street rrontages, and the inclusion or exclusion of awning signs as a part of the approved sign program. Member Nobel proposed a motion which would approve the sign program application as specified in the model resolution, allowing two (2) building mounted signs for the one tenant who has frontages on Both McClellan Road and De Anza Blvd. , and deleting the Special Note on Exhibit F-1 which allows awning name signs as part of the program. The motion was seconded by Member Diann who then amended the motion to include a requirement for submittal to staff of a color palette prior to issuance of the first sign permit. Member Nobel seconded the amendment. The amended motion was then defeated on a tie vote.

The site is located on the north side of Stevens Creek Blvd. between Blaney Avenue and Portal Avenue. Presentation: Stephen Coulthard Acknowledging that the ASAC had denied a similar sign proposal earlier, thv applicant noted a suggestion by City Council that he reapply to the Committee for consideration of wall mounted tenant signs installed an the west and east facades. This approach reduces the visibility of the signs from Stevens Creek Blvd. ``v" �zsa`r ' Members Nobel, Mann and .Jackson each stated that they have not changed their previous reservations about wall-mounted signs for o6f i ce buildings. The suggested allowance of tenant names on the pro j ect' a s already approved ground sign was rejected in order to preclude clutter of the design concept.

Staff described possible design discrepancies with the site development standards of the So. De Anza Blvd. Conceptual Plan, and suggested possible options to reduce building mass in proximity to the existing residential area on Blossom Lane. Mr. Hunter displayed a Conceptual plan describing a feasible development scheme for the residual properties to the south which will work in concert with the proposed commercial addition. ASAC concerns focused upon adequate screening of the project from Blossom Court through use of specimen trees and a decorative wall , and upon preservation of the existing redwood trees at the north boundary of the proposed addition. N'EW BUSINESS (Cont'd.*) ITEM 5 APPLICATION ASAC z _ _ _Rooker (arbor Prof. Center) Requesting approval of a ground sign for a commercial office complex on the north side of Stevens Creek Blvd. westerly of Blaney Avenue. Presentation: (The applicant was not represented) & .r Staff noted that the proposed sign diagram is similar to that which was approved by the Committee earlier this year, subject to reduction ,of height to six feet. The Committee required the 1opler sign in recognition of the extensive number of l ocw-prof i 1 e signs already placed on Stevens Creek Blvd. Member Nobel stated her perception of the higher sign as aiopropriate in scale and artistic consistency with the arbor elements on site. Member Jackson clarified the requirement for asparate submittal of a color palette for the proposed sign. She expressed surprise that the applicant has chosen to reapply for additional height when the Committee unanimously rejected such a proposal just a few weeks ago. The height of the sign may appear out of context of the existing streetscape. Member Mann commented that the proposed height of eleven feet may be too great, and that there appear to be an unacceptable number of tenant name panels.

Presentation:Don Crosby, Project Architect Matt Penry, Cupertino resident Mr. Cowan explained that the proposed development plan for the Hotel complex has been changed from that which was seen earlier by the Committee. The changes were made in response to direction given by ASAC, the City Council and the public. Further hearings before the Planning Commission will begin on Wednesday, January 15, 1986. Mr. Crosby explained that the former cruciform footprint has given way to a segmented solution. This approach allows greater opportunity to lend distinctive shape and character to each of the proposed towers while maintaining similar elements between each phase. He noted that • the project bears a stronger orientation to Vallco Parkway by eliminating parking and perimeter roadways on the north site boundary, and will also connect visually with Finch Avenue south of Stevens Creek Boulevard by way of an elevated pedestrian concourse. - 1 - ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of January 13, 1986 Page - 2 - ITEM 1: (Cont'd.) • Mr. Penry commented that the overall quality of the project is good; However, lower building forms would be preferred. He also expressed concern about lighting intensity for proposed wall signs. Consensus of ASAC discussion identified the following opportunities and concerns associated with the revised Hotel project: ISSUE:Appearance of the Phase II elevated parking structure from Stevens Creek Boulevard. - Several Members expressed concern regarding the proximity of a "utilitarian" structure with an unrelieved southerly wall facing the City's principal thoroughfare. - One Member suggested serious consideration of placing all parking structure decks below street level, and landscaping the parking structure roof as a plaza. The project architect responded by noting cost and soil engineering problems associated with underground placement of all decked parking. ISSUE:Project should evidence a more apparent relationship with the historic evolution of the City's character. - Several Members felt that the project is appropriately linked with • the more recent emergence of Cupertino as a community of modern building forms and materials. However, some tie-in with the City's past would also be appropriate for this keystone project. - A possible solution might be the display of public art forms with a local historic theme within the entry courtyard or other visually accessible location on the project grounds. ISSUE:Legibility of the East entry to the Hotel Lobby/Conference area from the adjacent parking lot should be enhanced. - One Member felt that the East entry would likely be used more frequently by local visitors and conferees than would the formal port-cochere. Accordingly, the entry should be made easier to identify by appropriate architectural enhancements. ISSUE:Obstruction of residential views toward Westerly foothills - The Committee asked that any view blockage impacting existing residences be identified. GENERAL COMMENT: The Committee agreed that the revised development proposal is a significant improvement over the prior concept; the layout and orientation are more "participatory" in their relationship to other development on Vallco Parkway. Member Nobel abstained on advice of City Attorney. ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of January 13, 1986 Page - 3 - • ITEM 2)Applicati n 50-U-85 - William Irwin - Requesting approval of a use permit to construct a one story commercial building located at the northwest corner of Olive and Imperial Avenues. Presentation: Bill Plimpton, project architect Mr. Caughey reviewed the staff's concerns about architectural enhancement of the West elevation, private versus public frontage landscaping and configuration of mechanical equipment. Mr. Plimpton explained that 80% of the floor area will be devoted to manufacturing, with 20% remaining to storage and a showroom. Public business hours will be limited. In response to questions from the audience, staff noted that conditions of Use Permit approval will preclude outdoor storage and retain the option for reciprocal access with the adjoining westerly properties. Ann Anger, Monta Vista Resident, asked that special attention be directed to concealing mechanical equipment and ductwork, and that project-related noise be mitigated. Several ASAC members expressed concern about the proposed use of corrugated metal roofing material; the designer was urged to • select an alternative. Members were also concerned that certain elements of the design, such as the circular windows, are not in keeping with the visual character of Monta Vista. INFORMAL REVIEW: ITEM 3)Application 39-U-85 - Ccxun Industries (Cupertino Church of the Nazarene) - Requesting approval of landscaping for an existing church facility located at on the south side of McClellan Road, east side of Stelling Road. Presentation: Gene Eitzen, applicant Mr. Caughey restated the staff's concerns regarding location of the required trash enclosure, selection of plant materials and possible delay in implementing the proposed lawn area. FOLLOWING DIISCCSSION OF THE MATERIALS PRESENTED, THE COMMITTEE ALLOWED PLACEMENT OF THE TRASH ENCLOSURE AT ANY ONE OF FOUR ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED BY THE APPLICANT, TO ALLOW INSTALLATION OF THE TURF AREA AS PROPOSED, AND TO PERMIT FINAL SELECTION OF PLANT MATERIALS ACCORDING TO STAFF APPROVAL. • ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of January 13, 1986 Page - 4 • ITEM 4)Application 3-U-84 - Lawrence Guy - Informal review to relocate the trash enclosure for an existing office building located on the south side of Silverado Avenue approximately 140 ft. east of De Anza Boulevard.

ITEMS) Application ASAC-51,633.1 - Robert H. Lee and Associates (Exxon Company - Requesting approval of a new monument ID/price sign to glace existing pole and monument signs for a service station located at the southwest corner of Maxine Avenue and Homestead Road. Presentation: Blythe Wilson, RHL Associates Staff's concerns regarding the seemingly redundant cash price readerboards proposed as part of the monument sign message were explained. Mr. Wilson stated that the cash price readerboard mounted on the • sign base is intended to satisfy legal requirements for product posting; the uppermost, lighted readerboard is part of the standard Exxon logo monument display; deletion of the readerboard portion would entail construction of a custom made sign face. AFTER DISCUSSION, THE ASAC CONTINUED APPLICATION 51,633.1 TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 27, 1986 AND DIRECTED THE APPLICANT TO RESUBMIT THE SIGN PROGRAM WITH THE REDUNDANT PRICING MESSAGE ELIMINATED. ITEM 6)Applicaticn ASAC-51,634.1 - Wade McClure (ARCO Service Station) - Requesting approval of a monument sign for an existing service station located at the southeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Stelling Road. Presentation: Wade McClure, applicant Mr. Caughey stated staff's objection to the excessive height of proposed monument base. Since the site is a corner lot, there are no buildings or other signs obscuring sign visibility to eastbound traffic on Stevens Creek Blvd. which would make a taller sign necessary. FOLLOWING DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT, THE COMMITTEE VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE APPLICATION ASAC 51,634.1 WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE OVERALL SIGN HEIGHT ABOVE ADJOINING GRADE SHALL BE LD'flTED TO 5.5 tehr , AND ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN RESOLUTION 1186.

INFORMAL REVIEW ITEM 1) APPLICATION ASAC-51,636.1 - Gordon Call: Avenida Lane : Request for ASAC approval of an exterior deck addition to a single family hillside home. Site is locat- on Avenida Lane, northerly of Alcalde Avenue. Presentation: Gordon call, applicant Staff explained that ASAC review of the proposed deck is required under conditions of the subdivision of which this site is a part. The proposed adjustment of existing contours does not appear greater than 3.5 feet, and is therefore minor. Visibility of the deck from neighboring properties was discussed; the proposed enclosure of the supporting piers, while increasing the apparent mass of the home, was found to be a visual enhancement when viewed from downslope properties. The Comm itti's consensus was to arrapt the proposed deck addition as submitted. III - 1 - ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of January 27, 1986 Page - 2 - . ITEM 3) APPLICATION ASAC 51,635.1 - WEST COAST SIGN (Key Chevrolet) Requesting approval of an addendum to the existing sign program for an automotive dealership to include a 48 sq. ft. light d wall sign.

Presentation: Mike Dick, West Coast Signs CcmunittPP Members generally had no concerns with the proposed wall sign, subject to satisfactory control of lighting intensity as provided in the staff's suggested conditions of approval. Member Nobel asked that staff research prior ASAC requirements for enhancements to the site's Stevens Creek Blvd. frontage. These enhancements were required when anti-theft bollards were installed, but have not yet been done. BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED APPLICATION ASAC-51,635.1 ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN RESOLUTION NO. 1188. ITEM 4) APPLICATION ASAC 51,637.1 -- WDT BUILDING : Requesting approval of a freestanding sign for an office building under construction at Stevens Creek Blvd. and Randy Lane. • Presentation: Dick Thompson, applicant Staff noted that approval of the subject monument sign which includes only an address panel would seemingly obligate the ASAC to approve future requests for wall-mountc-i tenant signs. Member Mann Observed that the Committee had refused to allow building mounted tennant signs at the "Executive Center" building farther East on Stevens Creek Blvd. Mr. Thompson explained the uncertainty of their need for wall mounted tennant signs. He asked the Committee to approve the proposed ground sign with the option to return later if wall signs are needed. BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED APPLICATION ASAC 51,637.1 ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN RESOLUTION 1189, WITH CONDITION 9 THEREOF ALIC ING LIMITED DISPLAY OF WALL MCUNTED TENANT SIGNS SUBJECT TO PRIOR ASAC APPROVAL OF CRITERIA FOR SUCH SIGNS.

Use Permit for existing church and related activities. The property is located on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard, east of De Anza Boulevard. Presentation: Jahn Vidovich, Developer Thomas Boyd, Project Architect Staff explained that the principal issue is the acceptability of the proposed building form within its location; specifically, that the strip commercial retail portion of the site plan may be inappropriate in relation to the scale and emerging architectural • character of the City Center and Crossroads areas. Mr. Boyd explained the evolution of the site plan which is based on considerations of retail marketing, development intensity limitations prescribed by the General Plan and the necessity to assemble small adjacent parcels. Mr. Vidovich responded to a Committee Memnber's question by explaining thata market exists in Cupertino to expand new retail space. It his intent that the project complement the developing market represented by hotel and office occupancies across Stevens Creek Blvd. at the City Center project. Three of the four Committee Mbembers present agreed that the proposed "strip commercial" configuration is a matter of concern. Potential disruption of the boulevard frontage concept established for Stevens Creek Blvd. , and visual disparity of scale with the City Center project were cited. Member Nobel felt that the project has merit as designed and did not share the aforementioned concerns. • Or ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of February 10, 1986 Page - 3 - • ITEM 5) APPLICATION 3-U-86 - THE HA G AN GROUP, INC. (HUNTER PROPERTIES) : • Requesting approval of a Use Permit to construct a 1-story office building consisting of 5,320 sq. ft. The property is located on South De Anza Boulevard and Blossom Lane. Presentation: Deke Hunter, Applicant Bill Hagman, Project Architect Staff stated that the major concern is the project's appearance from Blossom Way residential cul-de-sac. Applicant proposes 8 ft. high sound wall on cul-de-sac property line; Condition 27 of Planning Comm. Resolution 2765 requires a minimum 7 ft. sound wall setback on Phase One, which is intended to be carried through on Phase II. However, the City Council has modified the condition to allow the applicant to demonstrate adequacy of street frontage landscaping in a lesser space, to the ASAC's satisfaction. Adequate screening of Phase II parking area from De Anza Blvd. is of concern also. Mr. Hunter described his intent to provide a berm and shrub screen for detailed ASAC review. ITEM 6) APPLICATION 5-U-86 - AZZAREILO ASSOCIATES (BATEH BROS.) : Requesting approval of a Use Permit to construct and operate a 2-story, 9,000 sq. ft. neighborhood commercial center. The property is located on the southwest corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard. • Presentation: David Azzarello, Designer Mr. Caughey restated the staff's suggestion for enhancement of the proposed redevlopment: a) Move trash enclosure away from adjoining residence to the south b) Increase representation of exterior brickwork to draw a closer visual relationship with the existing development on the Northwest corner of Foothill/SCB c) Break the long horizontal roof forms by shaping upper floor widow elements as dormers, extending purlins or by breaking the £ ularity of the eave line. Member Nobel ascertained that street widening and installation of sidewalks will be required on the Foothill Blvd. frontage. Chairman Miller expressed concern about the scale of the proposed two story configuration, noting that surrounding development is predominantly single story. Member Mann suggested that the designer should attemrrt to a visual linkage of this project with the Acadia Veterinary Clinic building on the diagonal corner of this int ersection.tersecsticm. She also cautioned against excessive use of blue in the color palette. 1 f ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of February 10, 1986 Page - 4 - ITEM 9: PPLICATION 4-U-86 CJPERTINO CITY CENTER ASSOCIATES Use Permit to • construct 340,000 sq. ft. of office space and a 240 room hotel capplex, with related site improvements including a park and ampitheater. Presentation: Mark Kroll, Applicant William Valentine, Project Architect John Hill, Hotel Architect Paul Lettieri, Landscape Architect Mr. Hill described the internal layout of the Hotel public areas; the "X" shape of the building allows these public areas to brought to the outer edges of the site, creating a lively, active presence to the street. Member Nobel stated her intention to abstain from discussing the Hotel portion of the project on advice of the City Attorney, citing potential conflict of interest. However, she will participate in review of the office component. Mr. Valentine described the master site layout and major pedestrian features of the project, including a park area at the Crossroads intexsec,,tion. Mr. Kroll explained that one level each of underground parking has been provided beneath the hotel and office tower, with a connection to allow additional parking for evening activity at • the hotel. In response to Member Nobel's question, he stated that the lower floor of the office center is designed to accommodate future retail, but that market conditions preclude retail space in the project at this time. Concerns and observations of the Committee were expressed as follows: OFFICE COMPONENT: - Public Art: Member Jackson commended the applicant's stated intent to accommodate a sculptural display within the project's open space. - Park Area: Concerns expressed regarding lack of benches to encourage public use, and potential nuisance liability of the space. Chairman Miller suggested deletion of part of the tree cover in order to increase view angles from public vantage points - Galleria: Several Members expresseddisappointment that the glass archway above the connecting space for the office towers, shown previously on the site master plan, has been eliminated. i" I. 7_ l +j jo —77 wi 17 � •� r.s �. ik' �' «Ik i. .k .i . r• j dik7 • - T 'S3S NYId Q3SI11323 v 30 madams ONIQN3d iNivaramn avo V 0Z UZ1J IIJN T'8 E9'TS OVSV NOIIVOladdV 'mon sno IINKNf1 1g •uaaPTT140 Tamps agppommo00p a; ATTPToedsa 'gyp TpTSfPuT PPola clogle 91.14 uT saopTaaoo sba.JJp upTagsapad anT;puragTp uo osTp gaodaa oq pexss spM 33p4S •tccTuTOTA ate uT smao3 rearqoa4Tose buTbaawa U4TM buTdaex uT gdaouoo uoTgpnaTa pup smaalptu eqn4T4sqns :anuany maaduzl oq ;uaovcpp buToua3 PpTo TAuT/ agpuTmTT3 - •coeds punazp-t tx nn 3ToTuan ao3 noire oq agpb uTeuz Pup esnot1Tpn5 au4 uoTgTsod - :suoTgvoT;Tpouz buTroi o3 at pagsabbns uau4 saaquzaw aeq;T 'J 'EuT4aem OVSY ;uanbasgns p 4p uoT;pquasaad ao3 SOTt.(dpab 3o SaTaas T UT3 p aapdaad teat TTTM Pup 'aa330 4u6Tuz aaqqTmmoo auk uoTqm squammoo TpuoT;Tppp AUP burxaas sT au 404 pauT2Tdxa uauq.

The site is located at 10400 Ridgeview Court. Presentation: Francine Plaza, Applicant Member Jackson announced that she wruld abstain LLuu discussion of this application. In her remarks to the Committee, Ms. Plaza emphasized her company's concerns regarding adequate visual identification of their location as a part of Cupertino. She distributed copies of Fairchild's internal news magazine, and described various activities they have sponsored to strengthen the cc parry's relationship with the wider community. Concerns of the Committee centered upon facilitating public convenience in locating the Fairchild building from the freeway, and avoidance of precedent-setting actions which would lead to a proliferation of freeway-oriented signing. - 1 - 411 ASAC MINUTES — Regular Meeting of March 10, 1986 Page - 2 - ITEM 1 (Cont'd.) 111 Chr. Nobel suggested that the matter of precedence could be resolved in this race by finding that the site has no direct frontage on a thoroughfare, and that it is located more than 600 feet from a thoroughfare other than the freeway. Committee's recommended alternative to place an identification sign at Ridgeview Court and Pruneridge Avenue should be added to discussion text.

( CH) : Reconsideration of ASAC review of fencing materials for the east property line of the "Cupertino Waterfall" townhouse project, adjacent to the Lake Biltmore Apartment complex. Presentation: Jason Cttartier, Developer Dorothy C rsche, Landmark Properties The approved landscape plan for the easterly perimeter was displayed, and Changes implemented in the field with staff approval were described. Mr. Chartier explained that the fence material change is less than a matter of cost than of relieving the project maintenance burden for the Homeowner's Association. The Committee's consensus was to retain wrought iron fencing fran the street line inward to a point approximately equal to the chimney projection of the first building, followed by black vinyl clad chain link fencing for the remaining easterly boundary. NEW BUSINESS -- INFORMAL REVIEW ITEM 5) APPLICATION 5-4J-86 AZZARE.'LLO ASSOCIATES (BATES BROTHS LS) : Requesting approval of landscaping and architectural elevations for a 2 story office/retail center. Property is located at the southwest corner of Foothill and Stevens Creek Boulevards. • The revised eavelins for the upper story was found generally acceptable; however, the Catanittee encouraged the designer to add greater detail and interest to the upper story windows. Discussion of the landscape plan followed. After sharing opinions on the wing elevation, the committee agreed to leave the height thereof at a consistent level of approximately two feet. Member Mann suggested that the Brazillian Pepper be limited to the male variety in order to reduce debris fran these trees. ITEM 6) APPLICATION 34-U-83 DONAlD K. JONES (AC ADIA VETERINARY CLINIC) : Requesting approval of modified landscaping plan and parking area layout for an existing Veterinary Clinic located at 10012 Foothill Boulevard. Committee Members agreed with the staff's catunents regarding inadequacies of the landscape rehabilitation plan. Replacement of stressed ground cover and installation of specimen trees is essential. Considerable concern was also expressed about the approved driveway opening to Foothill Boulevard; the need for this facility is questionable if a reciprocal access linkage is provided with the adjoining site to the north. • ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of May 27, 1986 Page - 3 - ITEM 6 (Cont'd) 411 Member Chapman suggested also that the planter boxes adjoining the building be supplemented with taller-growing materials. Items now within the box are too small to be visible. The Committee agreed to require enhancement of the planter box. ITEM 7 ASAC 51,653.1 - CARL TUCCI (RAYMOND ROOFER) Requesting approval of a modified sign pLvyLain and architectural elevations for a multi-tenant retail building. Property is located on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard at Randy Lane. Presentation: Carl Tticci, owner As rii sclis-sion of the proposed architectural modifications progressed, the applicant indicated increasing dissatisfaction with the proposed design. He requested a continuance to allow for resulxnittal of an alternative solution based an comments contained in the staff summary. By unanimous vote the Committee continued the subject application to a date uncertain for purposes of redesign. • ITEM 9) APPLICATION 2-U-86 (DE ANZA PROP Rritb) : Requesting ASAC consultation on tree retention for a previously approved mixed use office/retail sales center located at the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard approximately 400 ft. Fast of De Anza Boulevard. Presentation: Tan Boyd, Project Designer Jahn Vidovich, Developer With permission of the representatives of Agenda Item 8, the subject application was taken out of order. Mt. Boyd presented a drawing which superimposes the approved project footprint on a site survey which locates significant trees. A photographic study of each tree's condition was included in the presentation. Member Jackson summarized the relevant issues by eliminating fruit retention those trees located within the building envelope and orchard trees. She suggested that the Committee concentrate on those specimens which are most attractive and practical to retain: The Cedar, the Redwood and those trees which are consistent with the thematic street trees specified in the Stevens Creek Conceptual Plan. ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of May 27, 1986 Page - 4 - ITEM 9 (Cont'd) Member Chapnan noted that the Melaluca is used consistently on Stevens Creek Blvd. west of De Anza Blvd. as a thematic street tree. Member Mann concurred with the intent to maintain the Melaluca if feasible. Member Jackson disagreed with the Melaluca as worthy of retention. The Committee's consensus was to rem that the final landscape plan include retention of the 48" Cad - in the frontage planter, and the Redwood specimens within the parking area. ITEM 8) ASAC-51,654.1 - MARRIO T HOTEL SIGN PROGRAM: Requesting approval of a Sign Program and conceptual landscaping for a hotel project located at Stevens Creek Boulevard and Finch Avenue. Presentation: David Keller, Architect Paul Matthew, Landscape Architect Matt Penny, Resident Chr. Nobel suggested that the Sign Proyraiu portion of the application be presented first. Accordingly, Mr. Keller explained the ground sign/directional concept. In response to Member Chapman's question, staff explained that the number of tenant panels appearing on the ground sign was not of concern • since the food service offerings are under the umbrella of the hotel's overall operation. Mr. Keller then described the intent of the proposed tower displays with regard to visibility from the freeway corridor and the city street network. He displayed a graphic which depicted the cone of visibility for each of the four tower displays. Mr. Penny stated his objection to the color, size and height of the tower displays. He was concerned about the visual impact of the signs, particularly when illuminated at night, to those portions of the community far distant from the Vallco area. He also questioned the need for exterior signs at all, given the scale of the project relative to other buildings in the city. Mr. Peery Observed that the Santa Clara Marriott's sign is visible from his home at night, and questioned whether the City wishes to promote a similar skyline image. Mr. Keller responded by noting Marriott's willingness to consider use of a backlit display on the S/W facing tower sign, and explained that the signs are intended to serve out-of-town travelers who are not familiar with Cupertino and would have difficulty locating the building. • ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of May 27, 1986 Page - 5 - ITEM 8 (Cont'd) 411 In response to Member Mann's inquiry ry regarding Second phase signing, the applicants noted that first phase signs might be removed if second phase signing so required; their intent for the second phase is unclear at this time. They noted also that the letter size selected is intended to be visible for a distance of approximately 3800 feet. Member Chapman commented that Imo'. Penny s remarks, in his opinion, represent accurately the feeling of other residents not present at the hearing who have expressed concern about the hotel sign concept. Mr. Keller then noted that the design group and Marriott management are sensitive to those concerns as well. Kathy Myles, representing the Chamber of Commerce, urged the Committee to consider the effect of the Hotel on the quality of enjoyed in the community. and the extent to which revenues generated by the hotel will contribute to the maintenance of the quality of life. Member Jackson stated that the sign program should probably be limited to one tower display facing N/E, and one sign above the port cochere, both of which are backlit. Member Mann reminded the applicants that the Committee questioned the sign program when it was proposed conceptually at the start of the review • process. THE COMMITTEE VOTE TO APPROVE THE SIGNN PROGRAM PORTION OF APPLICATION ASAC 51, 654.1 ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN RESOLUTION No. 1212. R. NOBEL VOTED AGAINST THE MOTION FOR APPROVAL AS CONDITIONED. Staff then described the proposed modifications to the landscape concept, including the addition of specimen-scale trees at the street perimeter and against the tower. lam'. Matthew stated his concurrence with the recommendations, subject to correction of understory treatment for the preserved Oak specimen. THE COMMITTEE VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE LANDSCAPE PORTION OF APPLICATION ASAC 51,654.1 ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN RESOLUTION No. 1211. ITEM 10 Consideration of potential amendments to the existing sign code (Cupertino Municipal Code Title 17) . In response to C1ir.

MEETING HELD IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM OF CITY HALL, CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by Chairwoman Nobel. ROLL CALL: Present: MEMBERS: Jackson, Miller, Mann, Chairwoman Nobel Absent: NHS: Chapman Staff Present: Mark Caughey, Associate Planner Purpose At the Chairwoman's request, staff explained the purpose of this evening's meeting. The City Council has determined that certain aspects of the present Sign Code text appear to be in need of reexamination and possible amendment. Accordingly, Council directed that the ASAC undertake a study to determine the extent to which the affected section(s) of text should be changed to a more restrictive or less restrictive approach, or be left unchanged, and then recommend appropriate amendments, if any. Participation Staff explained also that the Chamber of Commerce has been asked to provide guidance on the sign code amendment process. Mr. John Sobrato,Jr. was present on behalf of the Chamber, and presented a letter requesting that the Committee work with a committee of Chamber representatives during • the sign code study sessions. TOPIC 1: Freeway Oriented Signs Mr. Caughey explained that during its review (and subsequent approval) of an Exception for a freeway-oriented wall sign for the Fairchild Semiconductor office center on Ridgeview Court, Council responded enthusiastically to the proposed "loosening" of freeway-oriented signing restrictions, and directed that a formal amendment be processed. Staff proposed a model amendment which eliminates the need to seek Exceptions for signs visible to the freeway identifying hotel and motel uses to the traveling public, or which identify industrial activity centers to visitors from outside the community. Member Miller objected to specific identification of uses which serve the "traveling public"; identification of a target market creates a dichotomy between advertising and identification functions of signage. This discussion led to a request that staff provide direction on the Ordinance's approach to distinguishing advertisement from business identification. • Minutpc of ASAC Meeting of June 2, 1986 Page - 2 - Topic 1 (Cont'd) 411 Several members felt that Paragraph 2 of the proposed amendment would add flexibility to allowable freeway orientation if the number of displays were restricted, especially for buildings of multiple tenancy. Consensus: Staff will redraft the proposed amendment consistent with Committee direction to delete reference to the traveling public, and restriction of multiple tenant displays. Topic 2 Real Estate Sale/Tease Signs Staff explained that the proposed amendment will assist the enforcement process by specifying a time limit for retention of gale/lease signs, and by restricting their display positioning in accordance with the "General Regulations" of Sign Code Chapter 17.28. Mr. Sobrato urged inclusion of an explicit renewal process for signs to be displayed beyond the initial one year period. Several members expressed concern regarding the number of signs displayed for real estate transaction purposes on a single site. Use of a single sign panel with multiple brokerage names and information was suggested as an alternative to reduce visual clutter. 410 Consensus: Staff will redraft the proposed amendment to include renewal criteria and limitation on the number of signs per site. Topic 3: Service Station Signs Mr. Caughey reviewed the current section of the sign code dealing with price and product identification. The sign code has required consistently that fuel prir c be made a part of the ground sign or wall-moulted signing allowance for a service station facility. This requirement was intended to reduce visual clutter of service station sites and facilitate public convenience by confining vital information such as brand name and price to a limited number of message devices. The proposed amendment, which found general acceptance by the Committee, confines price sign readerboards to the ground sign display only, unless the site has no ground sign in which case a wall mounted display is authorized. This approach standardizes the location of price information, for the public's convenience, and eliminates the clutter of pricing information which occurs when a definite location for price signs is unspecified. Minutes of ASAC Meeting of June 2, 1986 Page - 3 Staff also displayed an example of the ground sign concept being 411 implemented by ARCO stations within the conmtunity, as a model for size and clarity of information which should be followed by other vendors. In response to Mr. Sobrato's question, staff explained that existing service station signs which would become nonconforming upon adoption of the proposed amendment could remain in place, if they were installed with valid permits, until a change of face or location is proposed. At that time, the signs would have to be brought into conformance. Staff was requested to report on the valuation of the model ARCO sign. Topic 4: Window Signs Staff outlined the two purposes of the proposed amendment: - Clarification of the ambiguity of whether permanent window signs are permitted in addition to permanent wall signs, or if they are to be allowed in lieu of permanent wall signs. - Restriction of interior display of signing media from visibility through a window in such a manner that the interior display functions as a defacto exterior sign. Following discussion of the proposed amendment text, the Camnnittr , felt that the approach suggested in the staff report to restrict visibility of interior displays is based on broad discretion, and should be subject to • quantification, or other forms of more objective review. Topic 5: Legal Non-Conforming Displays Staff noted that while no amendment of the existing text of Section 17.40.050 is proposed at this time, restrictions on change of face for legal nonconforming signs appears to create unintended hardships for tenants and small business interests who do not control ownership of the sign or signs in question. Committee Members reaffirmed the priority of replacing or correcting nonconforming signs in a timely manner, based on the Sign Code's criteria. However, the Committee will entertain suggested alternative approaches from the Chamber of Commerce Committee and staff regarding tenant name change panels.

He stated his agreement with the staff's suggestion to enhance urrderstoxy plantings at the westerly site gateway. The Oammittee stated their agreement with the proposed roofline shape and architectural enhancements for the Fontana's building. Staff's concern regarding the 10 foot minimum depth of planting behind the. bus turnout was noted. The Committee approved a reduced planting depth consistent with the facility's improvement plans, provided that the applicant seek an Arent to the use permit condition which makes the ten foot requirement explicit.

(C PERTI INN) : Requesting approval of a sign program for a hotel located at the Northwest quadrant of De Anza Boulevard and the Interstate 280 corridor. Presentation: John Fisher, Hotel Operator Bob Smith, Sign Consultant Staff clarified the discussion regarding the need for the Camaittee to make findings as to whether any aspect of the sign pLxJ9La,a is exclusively oriented to the freeway: this matter is - - procedural and requires an application for Exception if such findings are made. Member Miller stated his position that the sign on the south face of the building is intended for freeway visibility, and is also redundant with the ground sign orientation to De Anza Boulevard. However, the Chairwoman requested an indication of consensus on this matter and determined that the majority of Meunbers present did not find any of the signs to have exclusive freeway orientation. Cammittee members then discussed the ground sign, and determined • that its size and location are acceptable, subject staff verification that the device is situated on private property. Discussion followed concerning the suggestion by Member Mann of lowering the east facing sign to the porte cochere. Committee members discussed this concept in relation to possible elimination of the south facing sign. However, no consensus was reached, and the east facing sign was allowed to remain at the top floor location. ON A VOTE OF 3-1, WITH CHR.

RESOLUTION NOT REQUIRED INFORMAL REVIEW OF UsE PERMIT APPLICATIONS ITEM 1) APPLICATION 21-U-86 GROSVE OR INTERNATIONAL CALIFORNIA LTD. : Requesting approval of a Use Permit to construct 3 office buildings totaling 152,000 sq.ft. The property is located on the north side of Stevens Creek Boulevard easterly of Tantau Avenue. Presentation: Rick Hunter, Project Architect The applicant explained that the Santa Clara portion of the project may be reduced in height and intensity, and described the access considerations in the site layout. The Stevens Creek Blvd. frontage was not treated as a principal entrance since left turn acrps is infeasible. Committee Members were unanimous in their judgment that the project lacked proper gateway design elements considering its location at the easterly entrance to the City. Parking area geometrics are especially adverse to attainment of appropriate and distinctive gateway enhancement. • •s zaaauz.xad 4°T 914 uo saazg buTuaems 3o asn atiq Aprtgs °q pebzn seM xaubTsap atu •uTellaz TIT m sqTun „q„ add aqq .zo3 saruooreq so&td atq '.zany pH •peeiuTtuTTa aq sleazed TTT;uapTsaz bu-ruro[pe buroe3 sMoprTM .zeauap 1Czo;s .zaddn Tea-sties gt q pe;eotprT que'ocTddp 'uoTsn Our AoenT.zd buTpzebea SCuao mo s,33egs 1.1qTm peazbe osre 9e44tu1 at 1 aqq. 3o aq poori pead atT4 t TM A 'T Co zd ag AVM TT M AzuOs u1 �d TTt ns usuoouT alp ;eta pe;sabbns ueudeqD sactmaki 'Pt /aTr0g TTTu4OOd ma; AEre paguaT.zo alp seazp buTdaeTS •apegans uxa'gged NoTaq pa;p u m S p t mM agazouoo 4se-3e zd sp T TeM puns abpguo z3 pesodazd ate pegT.zosep gsurx .aw •saoeds .zoTaaguT .zog uoTgoagoad esTou buTpzebea uzaouoo passazdxe s.zaquraw aaggTunpj •azn4xe4 arbutus burgp u u 4 s 472gPise .zo aTburt4s 3o ag TTTM 3ooz ete, '844eTed sTeTaaqvu pasodazd at4 pegTsosap pue 's;Tun 111 a 3o sTETxageu .zoTaa3xa ate o; sabtreuo 3o iequ nu a pegTaosep ;sup' 'AK 'Aapumns 33v45 at4 uT peureguoo s;ueum o o; esuodsaz uI 40e4Tgaze 'gSU TTTg :uoT4equasaad Teod ueTTaTO0W 30 'CT.za gaou P.1 TTog ITT14003 30 epTs ;sari etp uo pe42ooT sT A4aadazd aui, •guaadoTanap TeiluaPTsal P 'o p-pies ;Tun 0T p qonagsuoo og 4Tuaad asn a 30 Tenazdde bur4ser1 :AbridNCO S.SNIX 98-n-zz NOIEa'JTIddd (Z Nail •abe;uou3 'PAT; }[aaalo suane;S azoubT o; szeadde goe Co zd (3 'T30H 440Tzz i Azpau alp. t TM pup qoe Co zd etq uTugTM A4TTTqT4PdWoo aou22;ue Aput agTs outgzadhp at. uo A.Tsua;ut pa;;Tuzzad xagpazb :ATTPnsTA buTsvaId ;ou SuoTgzod p vID 'ups pup ouTgaadto uae'4aq sgt5Tati bu?PTTnq 3o uoT;Tsodp lr (e SuoTgoaTas .zoToo anT4TuT3ap 'sTrem 3o azngxag aop3.zns 'SspTb 3o .zoToo :.zeaToun aggaTed STET vw (p •A eAT.zp urput anuany np;uey ett ;p a;Ts uo aopds buTanb 3o Novi (o •sApManTap croup zgtra uTpur pup croup wa 3[onz4 atf 3o A4TULTxoad asoto pup 'ITTTaTsTA TeuITuizu anp snp ezeu eq 'um newel oguo sguauanaut rung 43a'I (q eaav burxzed atm. m1z3 bu?pTTrq xab eT ur Jue ao;TsTA 3o uoz;e Lodes gzraTuanu oul (e 410- :passazdxe azat suxeouoo TpuoT;TWe EuTmoiTog eql - Z - abed 986T '8z ATrlr 3o se ri r i -- ,T,T,Twixo 7VAJObiard q,TTTS QMV 7KanI311,1 D2iv ARCHITECTURAL AND Si h APPROVAL COMMITTEE -- Minutes of July 28, 1986 Page - 3 - Ilk ITEM 3) APPLICATION 24-U-86 BARCIIAY'S BANK USE PERMIT: Requesting a use permit to modify an existing commercial bank building, including reduction of floor area and creation of a new facade.

Presentation: Roger Dempster, Sign Consultant Denise Carter, Texaco Representative Larry Armstrong, Quality Tune Up Representative In response to Member Chapman's question, Mr. Dempster stated that the applicants are reluctant to reduce the face area of the sign as suggested in the staff report. Discussion followed, with the suggestion that one foot reduction in sign height would largely resolve the issue of excess area. Member Jackson suggested that, given the skewed orientation of the building to the Stevens Creek/De Anza intersection, placement of two signs on the West wall could be justified to facilitate visible identification of both business entities. • ASAC 7� ' ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of August 11, 1986 Page - 3 - All Chr. Nobel questioned the lack of landscaping compliance with the Stevens Creek Blvd. Sidewalk Plan. Staff explained that the landscaping obligation is residual from the Orginal ASAC sign program for the site, and is intended to reflect the interim use of the site as an auto service facility.

ROLL CALL: Present: : Jackson, Mann, Chapman, Miller, Chairwoman Nobel Absent: MEMBERS: None Staff Present: Mark Caughey,, Associate Pla nner Randall Tsuda, Planner I POSTPONEMENTS/NEW AGENDA ITEMS: - None CONSENT CALENDAR: - None ITEM 1) APPLICATION ASAC 51,671.1 -- HOWARD & HELEN LOW: Requesting approval of fencing for an indivicinal lot within a hillside subdivision. The subject property is located on the North side of Avenida Lane, southerly of Voss Avenue. CONTINUED FROM THE ASAC MEETING OF AUGUST 25, 1986 • Presentations: Howard Law, Applicant Robert Bruckstein, Resident Discussion: Staff requested that the Committee confine its deliberations to those matters directly pertinent to design review: i.e. , materials, appearance and placement of the subject wire mesh pool enclosure fence. Copies of a staff report and excerpt from a 1977 ASAC meeting record concerning fencing design for the subdivision were distributed and discussed. Dr. Law noted that his request for approval of the fence is stated clearly in his letter of August 21, 1986; he reiterated that he had no willful intention of circumventing the ASAC review process, and would have complied therewith had he been aware of the requirement prior to erection of the fence. In response to Chr. Nobel's question, Dr. Law explained that installation of a windbreak of trees and shrubs on a portion of the fence perimeter is contemplated under his landscape plan, but that the plan is not definitive at this time. - 1 - .14 ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of September 8, 1986 Page - 2 - ITEM 1 (Cont'd) Member Chapman ascertained from the applicant that the fence is located inboard from the property line, and that an open perimeter remains outside the fence for human and animal movement. Fencing styles on adjoining parcels were also described. Member Chapman asked if enhancements to the fence are contemplated; Dr. Low responded that addition of landscaping is probable; however, changes to the fence materials or relocation area not under consideration. The public hearing was then opened. Robert Bruckstein, neighboring resident, commented that the fence is unsightly in appearance and dominates the ridgeline above his hone site Member Miller responded by noting that the City's Goals Committee has consistently emphasized protection of the hillsides as a visual resource; fencing in these areas should be seen as little as possible. The public hearing was then closed. Member Jackson commented that despite a statement to the contrary in his letter, the applicant should have been aware of the subdivision's recorded 'C7C&R s which require prior ASAC review of fencing. 410 Member Miller, following upon his earlier comments regarding hillside protection, stated his belief that the subject fence should be relocated to enclose a smaller perimeter around the pool for safety; current conditions are not reasonably related to the hillside visibility preservation Objective. Member Mann commented that wildlife migration is a benefit of living in the hillside environment and should not be disrupted; she was not certain that the applicant had met this objective. Dr. Low responded that sufficient space remains outside the fence for deer and other manuals to move through his property. Chairwoman Nobel stated that Committee must decide upon the fence in its current configuration; the Committee does not have sufficient information to suggest alternative locations or enhancements. Member Chapman commented that the placement of the fence, and its visibility on the ridgeline above neighboring hares on Voss Avenue and Vista Court, are of concern; however, the actual style and materials of the fence are acceptable. Member Miller agreed with his assessment. •ep232; .zoTaagxa 9114 3o AT uT rean4os4Ttpas at 4dnzsT p PTnom PTqM subTs pegunoa EuTPTTn4 04 e14eaa391d sT ubTs punoab 2 4 spuT3 33eq5 '.IaAaMOtt :uOT4egazdaaquT epo0 ubTs goTags aapun ubTs punozb ao; A3TT2nb seop e4Ts et 4r144 pauT2Tdta PpnSI 'AR •4sazaqu' 3o 40TT3uoo T2Tqua4od 0q enp mal.T sT ;o MaTAaz uT buTgedioTgzed uBoz3 u eagaz og quequT xaq p@JUnmIU2 uomper 13q 8Yd :uoTssnosTO 41195V bUTsedj 'uuT3 PTA qur4Tnsu00 uuTS 'T u *TeX :tz d 'RsAaTnog NseaD sU8A94S TTTOZ 4e pegeooT sT A4aadoad 4peccins su •guaudoTanap aoT33o buTgsTxa u2 ao; ubTs 4ua i uau peqeuTtuniTT ue Tr2suT 04 TeAazdd2 bra (SallTad02id ;'Minas) SNDIS NO3N -- T'ZL9'T5 OYSV NOIIVOl IddY (Z YSII •buT4asou 1445T leqpisqdas 9144 3o a02Td put auTg ate 3o pauuo3uT azam buTaeaq TT at;q bUTpueg42 uT pagsaxaquT suezTgTo :uaATb aq rum sbuTpeemad TT ounop 3o aoT1 la n; oN •uoT4TsodsTp Twig 103 9861 'ST was 3o epuebv TTounoo PTO al14 uo asedd2 TTTM aeggeuz sT144 4eq4 PeuTeTdxe 33e4s 'eoueTpn2 eqq maz; suoTgsenb oq esuodsaa uI 411 'A'IS(Y.

Several Members expressed agreement with the suggested reduction of tenant panels to a maximum of three names, with a corresponding reduction in the overall dimensions of the display. Chr. Nobel commented that her preference in this regard is based upon comparison with the adjacent GPI Publications ground sign which reflects more pleasing dimensions and does not exceed three tenant names. Discussion ensued regarding the shape of the sign relative to the architectural features of the building. Chr. Nobel questioned the necessity of direct linkage of the sign's shape with elements of the building architecture. Member Miller stated that he had no objection to the proposed height of the sign. ON VOTE OF 4-1 WITH MEMBER JACFSON ABSTAINING, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED APPLICATION ASAC 51,672.1 ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN RESOLUTION No. 1233. INFORMAL REVIEW — OTHER BUSINESS 411 ITEM 3) APPLICATION ASAC 51,673.1 — UNITED AUTO PARTS: Requesting approval of modified exterior colors for a freestanding commercial building. Property located at 20301 Stevens Creek Boulevard. By unanimous consent, the Ctnaaittee approved the proposed exterior building color charge as indicated by the paint samples in city file ASAC 51,673.1. I'IT 4) APPLICATION ASAC 51,641.1 -- GOLDEN HORN RESTAURANT (CROSS ROADS SLOPPING CENI ) : Requesting approval of modifications to a previously approved color palette for a restaurant within the Crossroads Shopping Center. Staff displayed the proposed exterior wood stain modification in contrast with the previously approved color palette which provided for heavy-bodied gray stain. The Committee felt that they had insufficient information to evaluate the new finishing material in context with contemplated improvements in the rest of the Center. Accordingly, the proposed color modification was denied without prejudice pending submittal of information which will set the request within the wider context of the overall project. •"o:��:,�; :ate .yi;,+^ .,• Ili • ' n " rr 411 - T - •soTgSTazalo2Xetio buTg2sad0 s 1 tiSTP 94TTT942s aqq. 3o Apngs 2 uo Reseal( quBTati qeqq auTwaaqap gsnm queoTidde atiq qetiq PegeqS ueua32tp 1S U 5I s*t(bratt a znsoToue lunui xem butpaxbaz ee44Tum1o0 9T-14 wrIT1 uoTqoalTP .O3 pa)(se aH •STeT1agem buFpTTr( buTgsTxe oq petppgem eoTnep u8e208 PXEOq pTTOs E 30 20n23 uT eansoToua eoue; gaxoTd .zaut2o3 et .

Member Chapman requested that one or more cross section drawings be submitted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the screening solution. DECISION: Based on staff's suggestion, Mr. Gibson agreed to prepare an amended elevation drawing accurately locating the dish antenna and mechanical equipment to be screened, a comprehensive description of materials to be used in construction of the screen device and appropriate cross-section diagrams illustrating effective visual control characteristics of the screening devices. Said drawings will be referred to the ccamnittee for individual member's comments. ITEM 3) APPLICATION ASAC 51,675.1 CRAIG L. MAYNARD (CAL-NEON SIGNS: Requesting approval of a sign program for an addition to 10525 South De Anza Boulevard and for a new building at 10527 South De Anza Boulevard. PRESUCATICN: Craig L. Maynard, Sign COnsultant DISCUSSION: • Mr. Tst. a summarized the issues contained in the staff report pertaining to office sign area limitations, the number of tenant signs, and sign colors. The applicant stated that he agreed with the conditions reca mnerrled by staff except the one sign per tenant limitation. The applicant believed that the southerly second phase tenant needs two signs as one sign above the architectural arch would not be easily visible due to its height and proximity to De Anza Boulevard. He indicated willingness to eliminate a second sign for the northerly tenant space. Member Miller expressed concern about oversignage at the center. Member Chapman felt that the limited width of the sign band for the southerly tenant would preclude oversignage. Discussion occurred regarding the visibility of the sign above the arch. Member Chapman commented that the sign may be more visible to drivers at a distance than to adjacent motorists. Member Mann noted that the building is approximately 30 feet from De Anza Boulevard. BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED APPLICATION ASAC-51,675.1 ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN RESOLUTION NO. 1237.

ROLL CALL: Present: RIDERS: Mann, Chapman, Miller, Chairwoman Nobel Absent: M MIERS: Jackson Staff Present: Mark Caughey, Associate Planner POSTPONEMENTS/NEW AGaIDA ITEMS: ITEM 1) APPLICATION 30-U-85 (REV) -- MARRIOTT CORPORATION: Requesting approval of a minor modification to a previously approved Use Permit for a major hotel development. The subject site is located at the northeast quadrant of Finch Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard. Continued at applicant's request to Regular Meeting of 10/27/86 CONSENT CALENDAR: - No Consent Calendar Actions Reconmended • INFORMAL REVIEW OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT USE PERMITS ITEM 2) APPLICATION 31-U-86 -- WESTFIELD (VALLC° FASHION PARK) : Requesting approval of use permit for expansion of the regional shopping mall and parking structure, along with related site improvements. Site is located on the west side of Wolfe Road, northerly of Stevens Creek Boulevard. PRESENTATION: Mark Hancock, Westfield, Inc. Terry Ferrara, Westfield, Inc. DISCUSSION: Chairwoman Nobel noted that the major concern noted in the staff report is the potential for spill-over noise impacts to the surrounding neighborhood from the upper level of the parking garage. Mr. Hancock displayed a rendering of the parking structure addition which which demonstrates the proposed parapet height. Raising the parapet would increase its visibility to residences beyond. Member Chapman expressed concern about the disruption of Vallco Parkway's connection to the perimeter road, as a result of expanding the parking structure. The applicants explained that the change will more greatly inconvenience commute traffic rather than • customers of the Center. ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of October 13, 1986 Page - 2 - FORMAL REVIEW 11/ ITEM 4) APPLICATION ASAC 51,677.1 BARCLAY'S BANK: Requesting approval of a planned development sign program for a remodelled bank located on De Anza Boulevard between Cali Avenue and Scofield Drive. PRESENTATION: Mike Schneider, Sign Consultant DISCUSSION: Chairwoman Nobel announced her intention to abstain from discussing and voting upon this matter, citing possible conflict of interest. Staff explained that only two building-mounted signs are allowed under the Ordinance for conventional Commercial zones, when no ground sign identification is used. Although the Committee has authority to approve the third sign in this case under Planned Development zoning, staff finds no extraordinary circumstances justifying such action. In response to Member Miller's inquiry, Mt. Schneider explained that the third sign is needed to ensure convenient customer identity of the bank's location, given the highly competitive posture of the banking industry. He stated that a small • identification sign would appear above the automated teller machine station, and that indirect lighting might be provided from architectural fixtures. Member Chapman then stated that there are three possible extenuating circumstances which might lustify the third sign: 1) The site has three street frontages and two entries 2) There is no space for a ground sign proximate to the building 3) The third sign assists public convenience in locating the bank facility and the parking area entries. Member Mann requested that any lighting for the signs, whether direct or indirect, be subject to prior ASAC approval. DECISION: BY VOTE OF 3-0-1, WITH CHAIRWOMAN NOBEL, ABSTAINfl , APPLICATION ASAC 51,677.1 WAS APPROVED ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIleIL ) IN RESOLUTION 1238. S ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of October 13, 1986 Page - 3 - ITEM 5) APPLICATION 51,676.1 WET,TS FARGO BANK: Requesting approval of anew planned development sign program for an existing bank located at the southeast corner of De Anza Boulevard and Rodriguez Avenue. PRESENTATION: 'Tan Harris, Sign Consultant DISCUSSION Member Miller and Chairwoman Nobel announced their intent to abstain from discussing and voting upon this matter, citing possible conflict of interest. Staff explained that the major issues are the nutber of building mounted signs proposed, and the supporting structure for the ground sign. Although the Ordinance would restrict the site to one building mounted sign because of its identification by ground sign, the extraordinary inconvenience of the driveway arrangement on Rodriguez Avenue justifies additional signage as convenience to the motoring public. The applicant had been directed prior to the meeting to develop a monument style freestanding sign with a solid base. Selection of • materials should coordinate with the building, and may entail trimming of the landscape area immediately adjacent. Following discussion, the Committee agreed to leave the final details of the monument sign to staff review. DECISION: BY VOTE OF 2-0-2, WITH MEMBER MILLER AND CHAIRWOMAN N NOBEL ABSTAINING, APPLICATION ASAC 51,676.1 WAS APPROVED ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN RESOLUTION 1239. INFORMAL REVIEW ITEM 3) APPLICATION ASAC 51,671.1 -- HOWARD & HELEN LOW: Requesting approval of fencing for an individual lot within a hillside subdivision. The subject property is located on the north side of Avenida Lane southerly of Voss Avenue. PRESENTATION: Howard Low, Applicant DISCUSSION: Staff displayed an Informational Exhibit which depicts a revised location for the existing fence, and a reduced enclosure for the pool safety area. A copy of the City Council's action order regarding participation in the relocation process was noted in the enclosures. ASAC MINUTES -- Regular Meeting of October 13, 1986 Page - 4 - 11, ITEM 3 (Cont'd) In response to Chairwoman Nobel's question, Staff indicated that formal written notices were sent to property owners within 300 feet of the site, informing them of tonight's hearing. Staff's concerns regarding mitigation of downslope visibility of the fence were noted; Dr. Low explained that he intends to provide shrubbery and other landscaping materials to partially the screen the fence's offsite visibility to Voss Avenue. DECISION: BY U=IM JS VOTE, THE COMMITTEE ACCEPTED THE REVISED FENCE LOCATION AS INDICATED ON THE INFORMATIONAL EXHIBIT, SUBJECT TO THE FCTLif ING FINDINGS: 1) The proposed fence location and materials are satisfactory relative to the preservation of visibility and animal migration patterns noted in Condition 16 of subdivision application 27-TM-76 per Planning Commission Resolution 1614. 2) The revised fence location indicated on the accompanying Informational exhibit addresses the concerns of the Committee as expressed in Resolution 1234, adopted on September 8, 1986. • 3) To mitigate visibility of the lower portions of the fence structure from public views from Voss Avenue and Amistad Court, the applicant shall install low growing shrubs or trailing ground cover, subject to staff approval. ITEM 6) P.PPLICATION 16-U-86 W.R. GRACE & COMPANY (BAXTER'S) : Requesting approval to install a satellite dish screen. Restaurant is located at 19625 Stevens Creek Boulevard in the Orchard Valley Market Place. Formerly Houlihan's Restaurant. DISCUSSION: Staff noted that this item has been returned to the Committee for final review as required by a previous condition of approval. Member Miller expressed concerns about the appearance of the existing television anterL.0 atop the building.

This approach is based on the assumption that the real estate industry seeks to complete all transactions as quickly as possible, and that removal of these signs would then follow in a timely manner. Ms. Myles noted that the Camber Task Force opposition to the amendment was based on recommendations which are no longer current. The approach suggested by staff in the October 23rd report is now acceptable to the Chamber. CONSENSUS: COMMITTEE MEMBERS AGREED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND ACCEPTANCE OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 17.32.080, DELETING EXISTING PARAGRAPHS D & E, ESTABLISHING ONE UNIFORM SIZE FOR REAL ESTATE SIGNS IN ALL NON RESIDENrTIAL ZONES, AND ADDING A NEW PARAGRAPH REFERENCING DISPLAY STANDARDS. DISCUSSION OF TOPIC 3: SERVICE STATION PRICE SIGNS The Committee reviewed the price sign content and size restrictions contained in the State Business and Professions Code. After discussion of the staff proposal to restrict display of prices to . three only, it was agreed that a more practical approach would provide for up to six prices (representing the highest and lowest price for each product offered) , with letter size and copy content not exceeding state law minimums. All copy content, including brand name identification and street address, would be restricted according to Table B in Section 17.24.330. CONSENSUS: STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO RECONSTRUCT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMITTEE'S S DIRECTION TO INCREASE THE ALLOWED NUMBER OF PRICE SIGNS FOR EACH FREESTANDING DISPLAY. DISCUSSION OF TOPIC 4: WINDOW SIGNS Staff explained that the proposed amendment would recognize the use of window signs as a common business practice which will become self-regulated, provided that the 25% total area factor is not exceeded. Distinctions between temporary and permanent window displays would be eliminated, as would ASAC review of window signs in general. The current text is also ambiguous as to whether window signs are allowed in addition to, or in place of other permitted identification devices; the amendment would allow window signs explicitly in addition to other forms of sign identification. Minutes of Adjourned ASAC Meeting of October 23, 1986 Page - 4 TOPIC 4 (WD1DOW SIGNS) (Cont'd.) After discussion of the •proposed deregulation of window sign displays, ys the Committee felt that the amendment would open the way for excessive size of displays, especially for businesses with large expanses of window space, as well as outright abuse of dimensional constraints. CONSENSUS: STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO RECONSTRUCT THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO REQUIRE ASAC REVIEW OF ALL WINDOW-MOUNTED BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION SIGNS WHICH SHAH, BE CONSIDERED PERMANENT AND A PART OF THE ADOPTED SIGN PROGRAM, AND WHICH WOULD BE PERMITTED IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER ALLOWED FORMS OF SIGNAGE AUTHORIZED UNDER THE CODE. ALL OTHER WINDOW SIGNS WOULD BE CONSIDERED TEMPORARY AND NOT SUBJECT TO ASAC REVIEW. SUCH SIGNS WOULD BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN PLACE FOR A MAXIMUM OF THIRTY DAYS, AS CURRENTLY PROVIDED. TOPIC 5: MINOR MODIFICATION OF LEGAL, NON CONFORMING SIGNS Staff explained that the proposed amendment would eliminate change of face as a criterion for triggering cappliance with t.e nonconformance provisions of the sign code. This approach is suggested to eliminate the undue burdens imposed upon tenants and landlords who are technically required to abate any nonconforming sign in its entirety when a change of tenancy occurs. • The Chamber Task Force recommended a threshold definition of Change of Face, and suggested an amortization process to be triggered by a substantial change to the nonconforming sign. After discussion, the Committee agreed with Staff that the change of face criterion should be dropped from the list of trigger calicps enumerated in the existing text. CONSENSUS: BY UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 17.40.050 WHICH WOULD ELIMINATE THE WORDS "CHANGE OF FACE" FROM PARAGRAPH 3. ADJOURNMENT The Committee agreed to defer discussion of Topics 6 through 8 in the October 23rd staff report to their regular meeting of November 10, 1986. Having reached the agreed upon time for adjournment, Vice Chairwoman Mann adjourned the meeting at 9:03 PM to the next regular meeting of October 27, 1986 beginning at 7:00 PM.

MEETING HELD IN THE EMPLOYEE'S LOUNGE OF CITY HALL, CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA. 410 The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by Chairwoman Nobel. ROLL CALL: Present: Members: Chapman, Mann, Chairwoman Nobel Absent: Members: Jackson, Miller Staff Present: Randy Tsuda, Planner I CONSENT CALENDAR: The CotmnittPe placed the following items on the consent calendar: ITEM 2) APPLICATION 46 U-85 -- APPLE COMPUTER, INC. Requesting approval of a exterior colors and materials for an approved office building to be located at on the west side of DeAnza Boulevard, approximately 200 feet south of Marian Drive. Resolution No. 1241 ITEM 4) APPLICATION ASAC 51,680.1 -- JAN DE CARLI BUILDING Requesting approval of a planned development sign program for an existing office building located at the southeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Pasadena Avenue. Resolution No. 1242 BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE CONSENT CALENDAR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIf1r,U IN THE RESOLUTION ACCOMPANYING EACH APPLICATION INFORMAL REVIEW --item 1 was postponed until later in the meeting as the applicant was not in attendance. FORMAL REVIEW ITEM 3) APPLICATION ASAC -- 51,678.1 - VALSDO VILLAGE Requesting approval of a ground sign for an existing shopping center located generally at the corner of Wolfe Road and Homestead Road. PRESENTATION: Charles Newman, Vallco Park Wade McClure, Sign consultant ASAC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 1986 PAGE - 2 - ITEM 3 (cant.) 110 DISCUSSION: Staff stated that an additional application had been filed on the Vallco Village site for approval of two signs--one replacement ground sign along Wolfe Road and one internal directional sign. Staff expressed concern with the discrepancy between the design of the two proposed ground signs. Mr. McClure explained that it would be very difficult to see both ground signs at the same time; thus, he felt comfortable with the differences between the two signs. In response to a question from Member Chapman, staff clarified that the second Vallco Village ground sign is on a separate parcel. Member Chapman stated that new ground signs should set style for all future signage. Mr. Newman agreed, adding that he felt that the proposals accurately reflect the character of the center. The Committee expressed preference for a common sign design, particularly in terms of the rounded sign top shown on the Wolfe Road ground sign proposal. Further, the Committee felt that the proposed diagonal lettering was difficult to read and conflicted with the horizontal Vallco Village lettering. Mr. Newman stated that he would be willing to work with the store owner and sign consultant to prepare another proposal consistent with the Committee's comments. Committee directed the applicant to return to ASAC on November 10, 1986 with revised plans that incorporate the following changes: 1)utilize horizontal lettering, 2)incorporate a rounded sign top consistent with the proposed Wolfe Road ground sign, and 3)change the proportions of the sign to make it appear lower and wider. ITEM 5) APPLICATION ASAC 51,681.1 -- JOHNSON AND SCANLAN: Requesting approval of an amendment to the existing sign program for a multi-tenant commercial building to allow a permanent window display. The building is located at the northwest corner of Blaney Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd. PRESENTATION: Bernerd Meseth, applicant DISCUSSION: Mr. Meseth explained that he favors alternative 1 since alternative 2 does not provide additional signage along Stevens Creek Boulevard. The tenant panel on the ground sign is also partially obscured by tree coverage, the compounding store identification problem. ASAC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 27, 1986 PAGE - 3 - 410 ITEM 5 (cont.) Staff affirmed for Member Chapman that alternative two (can-type wall sign) is consistent with the existing sign program and that no action would be nerpssary should the committee decide to approve that alternative. Staff explained that alternative 1 would allow two permanent window displays with no building mounted sign. In response to an inquiry by Chairwoman Nobel and Member Mann, the applicant explained that it would be infeasible to utilize a neon window sign due to the cost and the existing security bars along the inside window face. Staff confirmed that the final colors of the window displays could be subject to staff approval. DECISION: BY A VOTE OF 2-1, WITH MEMBER CHAPMAN DISSENTING, APPLICATION ASAC 51,681.1 WAS APPROVED ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECII0IED WITHIN RESOLUTION 1243. INFORMAL REVIEW -- OTHER BUSINESS 411 ITEM 6) APPLICATION ASAC 51,199.3 - CUPERTINO JOE'S (SPIRO VIRIONIS) Requesting approval of modified exterior colors for an existing freestanding restaurant located at 10385 S. DeAnza Boulevard. DISCUSSION: Staff presented the two alternative color palettes submitted by the applicant. The Committee evaluated the proposed colors in terms of ccupatibility with surrounding structures. The Committee approved the gray/green color scheme. INFORMAL REVIEW ITEM 1) APPLICATION 39-U-85 -- NEW LIFE CHURCH Requesting approval of trash enclosure and landscape treatment for a previously approved classroom building located on the south side of McClellan Road, approximately 350 ft. east of Stelling Road. Review required by use permit. PRESENTATION: Vern Hay, applicant • ASAC MINUTES -- REGULAR MEETING OF OCI'OBER 27, 1986 PAGE - 4 - . ITEM 1 (cont.) 411 DISCUSSION: Mr. Hay stated that the church favored the chain-link trash enclosure because it is less expensive, easier to build, and it would last longer than the wood board alternative. He explained that in its proposed location, the enclosure would be screened by plant material. Staff explained that the location adjoins residences to the south and recatmiended an alternate location away from residential areas. Mr. Hay identified a location along the south side of the church facilities which would be agreeable to the church. Mr. Hay expressed opposition to staff's recommendation to install a sidewalk providing pedestrian linkage from the church to the public sidewalk. He explained that a driveway exists along the eastern side of the classroom building which will allow pe1pctrian arress. Member Mann stated that a church sidewalk would encourage church-goers to walk to services. Chairwoman Nobel believed that it should be the church's derision to determine the amount of pedestrian access it needs. The Committee agreed not to require pedestrian connections. Mr. Hay stated that the church was willing to install 15 gallon trees but preferred to stay with 1 gallon shrubs due to the expense of the 5 gallon shrubs. The Committee found the sizes acceptable. In response to a question by Member Chapman, Mt. Hay explained that the church was considering a planter strip along the eastern side of the classroom building. The Committee believed this would be attractive and would soften the appearance of the structure. OTHER BUSINESS Staff presented the final sign base solution for the Wells Fargo Bank ground sign. Staff explained that the Committee had approved the sign concept at the meeting of October 13, 1986. The applicant was proposing a planter box around the sign posts. The Committee found the solution acceptable. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Regular meeting of October 13, 1986 approved as published.

ASAC MINUTES—REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 10, 1986 PAGE -2- • ITEM 2 (CONT.) CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, CA. 95014 (408) 252 4505 T0: Chairman & Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Chairwoman and Members of the Arch. & Site Approval Committee DATE: November 10, 1986 SUBJECT: Camrents of the ASAC Regarding Interpretation of Minor Amendments for 30-U-85 -- Marriott Hotel The following report describes the consensus of the ASAC regarding design- related matters discussed in the Staff memoranda of October 13, 1986 and November 10, 1986 as related to architectural and site modifications for the approved Marriott Hotel: I) REMOVAL OF FINCH AVENUE FRONTAGE TREE COVER - Deletion of previously-approved tree cover is a technical necessity due to underground culvert. • - Alternative solution should retain continuity of street Liuuitage landscaping established throughout Vallco Park; proposed solution Should also be returned to ASAC for informal approval before construction. II) SERVICE YARD FACING VMLCJ PARRY - Rii1ding wall behind service area lacks sufficient architectural relief; architectural or other enhancements should be provided, , with the final solution returned to staff for approval. III) ELIMINATION OF PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE BETWEEN PHASE I & PHASE II TOWER - Although the proposal represents the loss of a unique feature of the project, the Committee does not believe strongly in the need far retention of the skybridge. IV) REORIENTATION OF PORTE COCHERE AND DRIVEWAYS - Circulation solution is improved, although loss of small portion of previously approved landscaping will result V) OPEN LANDINGS AT TOWER ENDS - Pr posed solution is acceptable, provided that the solution remain consistent on Phase II. ASAC MINUTES—REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 10, 1986 PAGE -3- 410 ITEM 2 (CONT.) VI) BALCONIES @ GUEST ROOMS AND RAILING MATERIALS - Elimination of guestroarn balconies is not at issue; the Committee is concerned that adequate shadow relief on the major facade of the building remain. Use of balconies only on guestrooms at the perimeter of the facades helps to reinforce the sarxlpiling effect of the building. - Further definition of building perimeter would be achieved by eliminating steel balcony railings in favor of solid or semi-solid balcony enclosures. VII) ELIMINATION OF 5 rr rrh:u TOWER ENDS -- PHASE I - TrI -a of stair-step building ens represents loss of a unique visual feature of the project; economic justification for the proposed change should be weighed. - Life safety design can be achieved without loss of the stair step concept, though admittedly at a higher cost to the developer. - Consensus: retain stair-stepped tower ends per the original elevation approval. • FORMAL REVIEW: ITEM 4) APPLICATION ASAC 51,678.1--VALLOO VILLAGE Requesting approval of a grand sign for an existing shopping center located generally at the corner of Wolfe and Homestead Roads.

Staff confirmed for Member Jackson that the background and "Vallco Village" copy colors were consistent on all three signs. DECISION: BY UNANIMOUS VOTE APPLICATIONS ASAC 51 678.1 AND ASAC 51,678.2 WERE APPROVED ACCORDING TO THE FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED WITHIN RESOLUTIONS 1245 AND 1246.

PRESENTATION: Daryl Fazekas, Architect Kenneth Frarigadakis, Property Owner DISCUSSION: Mr. Fazekas stated that he agreed with staff's comments except for those pertaining to the proposed color scheme. He specifically wanted subdued colors because they would look more distinguished. By consensus, the Committee agreed that the gray on gray palette was acceptable. Mr. Fazekas confirmed for the Committee that the color of the equipment screens would match the building stucco color. Member Miller stated that the numerous individtai awnings made the exterior look cluttered, particularly because the awnings were of different sizes. Member Chapman suggested that the irtdivicin i1 door and window awnings could be combined if they served the same suites. Mr. Frargadakis fond the suggestion acceptable. • Mr. Tsuda confirmed for Chairwoman Nobel that the application would be placed an the City Council consent calendar.
