Meyers, Cupertino, spoke on behalf of California Canadian Bank, presently being planned for a location at Portal Plaza. Their application was being heard this same evening by the Architectural and Site Approval Committee. Mr. Meyers said they have been told they don't need a use permit but perhaps they need another type permit. He asked for a defini- tion of "trip end". The Planning Director explained that this meant the number of one-way trips at peak hour. The Planning Director confirmed that there is a proposal for a 6000 sq. ft. bank at Portal Plaza. He said a determination is going to have to be made on how to be consistent in handling these proposals as they occur. Comm.

Review and discussion of land use determinations - Infilling of the Valley Floor. The Planning Director wanted to review with the Planning Com- missioners what has been determined thus far. With that, he went over the individual areas on the map, one by one: Cupertino High School Area: West Blaney & Rodrigues: Blaney at #280: (adjacent to Greenwood apts) Alpine/Salem: Tulla Lane: Hillside residential: Stelling, south of Stevens Creek Blvd: Mary Avenue, north of Corporation Yard: 4-10 residential 4-7.6 residential Determination needed High density area - 12 to 16 0-4 units per acre 1 acre minimum lot size (should read 0-1 acre) Determination needed Not suitable for residential PC -141 Page 3 C-1.41 'age 4 MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 20, 1974 ADJOURNED PLANNING COMMISSION MTG Mary Avenue, south of Corporation Yard: McClellan (in older Monta Vista area): Corner of McClellan & Bubb: Stevens Creek Blvd. and Phar Lap Drive: Stevens Creek: Stocklmeir property (adjacent to flood plain) South of McClellan: West of Foothill Blvd., north of Stevens Creek Blvd.: West of Foothill Blvd., south of Stevens Creek Blvd.: Should be discussed; was once zoned for a church; now talking about residential 4-12. Could be compatible commercial use. 4-10 residential Flood Control District discussed this. May be residential 4-10, similar to that across the street. 0-4.4 single family residential Natural flood plain will be protected. 0-4.4 residential (same as Crump property bordering flood plain.) Determined basically complimentary to adjacent property. Rl-l0 9000 sq. ft. lots Chairman O'Keefe asked the staff to make sure they notify affected property owners of the date when the land use determinations will be discussed and finalized. Recess was called at 8:54 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:02 P.M. Foothill Blvd @ Stevens Creek Blvd.: 3.8 gross acres. 7500 sq. ft. minimum lot size 8500 sq. ft. average lot size Comm. Gatto would like to make that 0-4 so each proposal can be evaluated within that range. This will allow for flexibility. Comm. Adams agreed this would be compatible with the neighborhood. 4 MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 20, 1974 ADJOURNED PLANNING COMM. MTG. Comm. Gatto would like to show that existing service station at that corner as a nonconforming use. Comm. Adams said then the closest service station would be in Monta Vista. However, he said he would go along with the nonconforming use for the service station to block any other type commercial use going in there. As to the area kitty-corner from the previous one, it was decided as 4-7.6 residential. "No commercial" is a blanket statement for that entire intersection. Stevens Creek Blvd. at Lockwood: R3-2.7 residential Foothill Blvd., across from Dividend Industries presently has s duplexes, but the Planning Director said he was under the im- pression it would be returned to 1.0,000 sq. ft. lots. There is a neighborhood shopping center along Stevens Creek Blvd. at McClellan, of 2-1/2 acres. The Planning Director wanted to know if it is to be recognized. Comm. Gatto said this was given as a remaining use, but would not be encouraged to upgrade by giving it commercial zoning. He would be inclined to give it a nonconforming commercial designation. After further discussion, it was decided to leave it as commercial. Cupertino Road/Foothill Blvd.: (adjacent to the rest home)/ Seven Springs Ranch: 4-7.6 residential. 0-4 residential for the flat portion. Where the elevation changes radically, it was felt that it should be treated in concert with treatment of the hills. The Planning Director suggested the entire Seven Springs Ranch area be determined at a later date. Comm. Gatto agreed because he feels the Seven Springs Ranch is a neighborhood unto itself. Blaney @ #280 (adjacent to Greenwood apts.): Stelling, south of Stevens Creek Blvd.: 4-12 residential with policy statement that with a use permit it could be put into a Commercial use. Since there is commercial on one side but a school on the other, it was decided it sho be 4-12 residential. County area off Peninsular: 4-7.6 residential PC -141 Page 5 'C-141 ?age 6 MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 20, 1974 ADJOURNED PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Stevens Creek Blvd. (across from industrial park): Old Monta Vista: (commercial) Professional offices with related commercial. Left commercial. Industrial activities are to be kept along Imperial Avenue. 5. Referral from City Council of Planned Development Ordinance. The Planning Director summarized action taken at the February 19th City Council meeting on this matter. There was some debate as to what the conceptual plan should encompass. There should be some further definition of adopted goals on page 7. On page 8, the question was how many times do you go back and forth between Council and Commission with changes. The City Council felt any of their changes should be sent back to the Planning Commission once and then they will make a determination. The question was raised in Section 7.1 as to how much of the property had to be incorporated into a development plan. This was unresolved. It was decided Section 7.2 could be discussed with the H --Control Committee. As to Section 7.4, the City Council now says there will be public hearings on appeals. NEW BUSINESS 6. Review of proposed public acquisition re: general plan conformity - Musolino property southerly of existing Library site. The Planning Director quoted Section 65402 of the Government Code in regard to City action of acquiring Musolino property for future civic center use. Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm.
