POSTPONEMENTS
The Associate Planner said the staff is suggesting agenda items
1 b and I c be continued in addition to items 2 and 3.. The staff
further suggested a study session on these items prior to public
hearing. The applications 20 -TM -73 and 21 -TM -73 are also recommended

that they do not wish at this time to combine both properties. He
would like to make sure that 20 -TM -73 is a buildable lot. He will
be asking for a variance. The building pad is very small.
The Associate Planner stated that normally, the Planning Commission '
asks that an item be taken off calendar. When they are ready to proceed,

regarding the Westfield application (agenda item 7) and
suggesting the Planning Commission review some suggestions
listed in the appendix of his letter.
2. Letter from St. Joseph's Church representative regarding a
portion of their property being considered for review in
connection with core area.land use designations.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Dorothy Gray, 762 Edgewood Lane, Los Altos, Vice -Chairman of Santa
Clara County Historical Association, stated that some property
has come to their attention, along Henny Creek, west of Foothill
Blvd., and near Mary Knoll, on which there is a one -room school
house that was built in 1870. There are 50-60 acres of rolling
terrain here, with a year -around creek. Since this area lies
along borders of Cupertino and Los Altos, they would like to have
this considered in the General Plan hearings for open space and
perhaps there can be some joint effort for retaining this as open
space.
The Associate Planner stated that the property is within the City
of Los Altos. It is next to•the 20 -acre property zoned for
apartments. The present open space plan does s'hhow the area along
the creek as open space. In conversations with Mrs. Lucien
Hertert, the Associate Planner has learned that interest has been
shown in the preservation of the school house.

Mr. Max Maas, 10585 Merriman Road, Monta Vista, stated that the only
way he got notification of public hearings in his area was in mail
addressed to "Resident", with his address on it. The Associate Planner
explained that the staff uses the County Assessor's records, and
notifications are normally addressed by name.
Attorney James W. McKeohen, 39239 Liberty Street, Fremont, Ca., said
he was present at this meeting in regard to Area 21A. Although it
has already been designated, they were not aware of the public hearing.
His half -acre is contiguous to the ARCO station on Foothill Blvd, and
the half acre across the street, zoned CG: Under the proposed changes,
it would drop from 10 units to 4.4 units, and from general commercial
to 4.4 units per acre, respectively. They have developed Westridge
and the proposed rezonings would constitute a severe financial loss.
Developer Donald J. Bahl, P.O. Box 911, Campbell, Ca., said he has been
talking with the staff for several months on the development of this
property. He understood that all that was needed was a building permit
and he was unaware of the rezoning hearings.
The Associate Planner stated that this property is not in the interim
zone, and the office has been processing plans.
Mr. Jim Gillmann, of Chappel Industries, said they were notified last
summer that there would be hearings on this property but never knew
just when they would take place.
It was suggested the above persons speak with the Planning Director
during the week and come back to the Planning Commission to talk about
a specific development.
Setsuko Tanaka, 1334 Brookdale, Mountain View, said that only six weeks
ago she learned her property is being considered for rezoning. They
are living in Mountain View and learned through their realtor that
their property is being considered for R1 instead of R3. The property
is located in Area 23. She was instructed to get in touch with the
staff.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. City of Cupertino: Public Hearing to consider ].973 Comprehensive
General Plan.
A. Discussion of Infilling of Valley Floor
The Associate Planner said Area 21A, northwest corner of Stevens Creek
Blvd. and Foothill Blvd., was the last area discussed at the previous
meeting.
MINUTES OF THE, APRIL 22,. 1974 PLANNING COMMISSION. MEETING
The. Associate Planner stated that Area C has been mixed County and
City of Cupertino. There are duplex developments clustered along
Alcalde and Santa Lucia, but the area is predominently Rl -10.
The Planning Commission has determined the vacant land should
remain single family.
Mr. Max Maas, 10585 Merriman Road, Monta Vista, presented pictures
of the "junk yard" in the area. It was his contention that the
only hope of getting this blight cleaned up is to allow duplexes
here. He spoke of the fire hazard in the older, existing building;
Horses are out, and the yard is not properly cleaned up. He says
that he has to live with the flies and the stench.
Mr. Robert Seffelite, 22562 Alcalde Road, Cupertino, stated that
his property is in the City of Cupertino but is surrounded by
County property. He has three duplexes now and plans'to build
three more. Two years ago they planned to build a convalescent
home, but those plans were abandoned.
Comm. Cooper asked if there is an access problem with these vacant
lots. The Planning Director said that generally speaking, they do
have access to public right-of-way. He added that a majority of
the lots are in excess of the required square footage for duplexes
Comm. Cooper did not see any reason for not allowing duplexes in
this area.
Mrs. Nancy Hertert, San Juan Road, said she hopes as much as
possible of the land up there can be in single family dwellings.
There has been talk about mixed zoning. There are many small
homes on large lots in the area. There is a school and a park.
There are many people who are asking for single family homes.
Jackie Hall, 10629 Baxter, Los Altos, reinforced Mrs. Hertert's
statements in regard to the feeling of many people in the area
who prefer single family homes to duplexes.
Comm. Gatto said that something to take into consideration is the
fact that about 80% of the area is developed. The nature of that
area is most important. There is justifiable evidence that
Foothill Blvd.. could have duplexes, Merriman could go single-
family, and Santa Lucia could go single-family.
Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Woodward that the area
fronting on Alcalde, between Merriman and Foothill, and Foothill
between existing commercial and Alcalde be designated duplex
zoning.

MINUTES OF THE APRIL 22, 1974 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Northerly of Lindy Lane (Candy Rock Mountain)
Juanita McLaren, 22101 Lindy Lane, Cupertino, presented slides and
a map of the area. She has lived there for 18 years. In January
of 1966 they were an island of homes sitting there and asking for
annexation. At that time, 6,70 acres were annexed. In 1967, after
a great deal of study and many hearings, they were rezoned. Their
families have grown and now they are left with very large proper-
ties. In order to keep the weeds down, they have allowed horses
to graze there. There are six existing homes there now. She does
not believe they should be considered along with Mt. Crest Drive,
which is developed. They have asked for half -acre lots. She
asked that the present zoning be retained because of the view lots
locations of the existing homes, fire hazards, and because they
would like to retain their privacy.
Mr. John Stetzmiller, 21950 Lindy Lane, said his property is
adjacent to the McLaren property. He moved there six years ago
on the basis of the rural atmosphere and so they could have a
horse for the children to ride all over the area. He asked for
continuance of the half -acre zoning.
Mr. Dennis Palsooger, 10328 Cold Harbor, said he is currently in
_ the process of purchasing the Cassisi property. The entire area
is surrounded by dwelling units on 1 to 4 acres. There are at
least eight nicely landscaped homes along Lindy Lane, facing the
Cassisi property. There is lots of poison. oak. The property was
originally 2.1 acres but is now 1.823 acres. If this is desig-
nated one acre lots minimum it would no longer he dividable.
Mr. George Langstaff, 21925 Lindy Lane, said he is adjacent to
property being developed on half an acre, with another in the
offing. There are some 10,000 sq. ft. homes along Lindy Lane.
He said we should save the flat lands for farms and orchards and
put the homes in the foothills.
Comm. Gatto said. Candy Rock is a living example of what happens
with a cut -and -fill situation. Taking advantage of the terrain
and then applying half -acre lots throughout the area is the plan
with the most merit. The entire question hinges on the Hillside
Study, even though this property is below the 600 foot level.
He believes that half -acre zoning overall is too dense. He is
inclined to go with the one —acre zoning.
The Planning Director answered Comm. Cooper that the Planned
Development Ordinance would most likely be the vehicle to use to
develop the flat portion of this property.

jMLNUTES OF THE APRIL 22, 1974 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
`Chairman O'Keefe was interested in the preservation of the character
of the hills. Although .it is below the 600 foot line, we should try
to maintain the character of the area. He did recognize the hardship
in keeping the brush down, etc., in the area.
Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Cooper, that the consensus
for Area F was 0 to 2 density PD designation.

It was decided there would be a study session on agenda items 1 a, 1 b
and 1 c on May 1, 1974, at 7:30 P.M.
Chairman O'Keefe asked. the status of the Saich property at Stelli.ng.and
Stevens Creek Blvd. The Planning Director said the open space primary
designation has been taken off the Core Area General Plan Map since
the City Council did not feel it could be purchased within the foreseeable
future. Now the property has a 12 to 16 units per acre designation, which
was. the underlying designation.
Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Cooper that items 1 a, 1 b and 1 c
be continued to the adjourned meeting on Wednesday, May 1, at 7:30 P.M.
in the Council Chamber.
Motion carried, 4-0
Recess was called at 10:22 P.M. by Chairman O'Keefe. The meeting
reconvened at 10:42 P.M.
4. Application 15-Z-73 and 18 -TM -73 of DAVID & THELMA B. CAMPBELL:
PREZONING 0.66 acre from Santa Clara County Rl--10 (Residential,
single-family, 10,000 sq. ft. per dwelling unit) to City of
Cupertino Rl-10 (Residential, single-family, 10,000 sq. ft. per
dwelling unit) zone or whatever zone may be deemed appropriate
by the Planning Commission; TENTATIVE MAP to divide 0.66 acres
into two parcels. Said property is located at 22701 San Juan Road.
First Hearing continued.
The Associate Planner stated this application was continued from the
meeting of February 25th to allow the staff and applicant to consider
the availability of sewers to this area and to study hillside development
in general.
MINUTES OF THE APRIL 22, 1974 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
It was the staff's judgment that this proposal can be evaluated
independently of the General Plan study because of its location
and the nature of the surrounding development.
The Associate Planner answered Comm. Gatto that the staff still
recommends denial of this application; however, if approved, the
staff has recommended some conditions which are listed on pages 4
•and 5 of the February 22, 1974 staff report.
The south side of San Juan Road has recently been rezoned by the
County Board of Supervisors to a slope density formula. The
Associate Planner said the issues here are the rezoning from
County R1-10,000 to City of Cupertino R1-10,000, and the tentative
map. A map showing contours was displayed. This proposal will
require a 21% driveway. The fire department is hesitant to
service more than a 20% gradient; however, they have indicated
they could probably go along with this as long as they have
adequate turn -around space. The staff feels that if this driveway
is allowed it will be against present policy. This is the center
lot of three undeveloped lots.
Chairman O'Keefe asked for comments from the applicant and/or
audience.
Mr. Bill Sampson, 101 Glen Eyrie Avenue, San Jose, said he was
representing the owners of the property and the developer. He
showed a series of slides of the property from various angles and
directions. The lower portion of the property is densely covered
with shrubs, one oak tree, and poison oak. He pointed out that
there would be a minimum of fill. He said there is a very good
possibility of running the sewer line between the two properties,
down to the existing line on Santa Lucia.
Mr. Sampson demonstrated on a map that he had prepared how it was
feasible to construct a home down the hill from the Campbell home,
but not on the other two adjoining lots, due in large to the
problem of access. There is the possibility, with a little more
fill, that the driveway could be 20% rather than 21%. There is
a 30% slope on the property; however, with a minimum amount of
grading and disturbance of shrubs and trees, a home could be con-
structed here.
Comm. Gatto asked about the history of this subdivision. The
Planning Director said that in 1917 Inspiration Heights was
created. Mr. Sampson said the Campbell property consists of five
of the original lots on the District map.

Comm. Cooper asked where the San Andreas Fault runs in relation to this
property. The Planning Director said it is up on the other side of
Stevens Creek, at least 2-1/2 miles from this property.
The Associate Planner answered Comm. Gatto that the Associate Engineer's
major concern with this proposal was the service vehicles' access to
the property. It is marginal, but Engineering feels it is workable.
Mr. Sampson added that portions of San Juan Road are 20% gradient right
now.
Moved by Comm, Gatto, seconded by Chairman O'Keefe to close the
Public Hearing.
Motion carried, 4-0
Comm. Gatto commented that he has less reservation about the zoning
application than with the tentative map. This is very steep, but
Engineering feels that it is workable.

TAKEN OFF CALENDAR.
6. Application 21 -TM -73 of F. E. ROBLES (Juanita Williams).
APPLICATION WITHDRAWN BY APPLICANT.
At this point the Planning Director stated that after conferring
with the Assistant City Attorney, it appears that Agenda Item 9
(3141-71 - De Anza Oaks) could not be discussed until duly
advertised, since this is an application to modify a use permit
that has been previously approved. The Assistant City Attorney
said the Planning Director can make minor changes, but major
changes must come before the Planning Commission with public
hearing.
Mr. Bob Hardesty, with Deane and Company, developers of De Anza
Oaks, said he believes the modifications are minor.
The owner of Lot 35, De Anza Oaks, felt that the homeowners should
be represented at a meeting between the Planning Director and the
developer regarding modification of the use permit when it is to
be decided whether the change is minor or major. The Planning
Director was not opposed to this.
7. Application 20-U-73 of THE WESTFIELD COMPANY: USE PERMIT to
allow construction of two 32,340 sq. ft. light industrial
buildings, a total of 64,680 sq. ft. Said property is within
a P (Planned Development with light industrial intent) zone
and is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of
Pruneridge and Tantau Avenues. First Hearing.
The Planning Director referred to details in the April 9th memo
and attachments and to correspondence from neighboring property
owners and the City of Santa Clara. Exhibit A was reviewed.
The Director stated that the Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared and is scheduled for Council review on May 20th.
It was brought out that one major issue that would prohibit final
determination by the Planning Commission at this meeting was the
question of the status of the'69 uncommitted acres in Vallco Park.
The Inter —City Agreement states that 150 feet from the property
line, the building height shall be no greater than 16 feet. In
addition, there is the request for a 25 -foot landscaped buffer.

The staff stated there is some concern about service doors opening in
the direction of the adjacent residential.
The Director of Public Works summarized the stage -phasing, based on
traffic.
Comm. Gatto suggested computing this on the basis of parking stalls
rather than size of buildings.
The Director of Public Works said it has been determined that this
type industrial use will generate 25 trips per peak hour. .
Comm. Woodward agreed that limiting the parking would be effective.
The City of Santa Clara could put up "No Parking" signs along certain
streets to prevent overflow parking from the parking lot onto the
streets.
Mr. Michael W. Stout, 520 Meadow Avenue, Santa Clara said the volume
of traffic as well as the curb parking should be considered here.
If the traffic can't be decreased, then he would like them to look
at ways of re -directing it. The Director of Public Works stated that
the Tantau overcrossing will relieve the east -west traffic but will
have very little effect on north -south traffic. It will have a great
effect on the students walking to school.
Comm. Woodward said he would like to attempt to resolve the problem
confronting the neighbors to this property who came to this meeting.
The Director of Public Works answered Comm. Gatto that the City has the
money for the traffic signal at Tantau and Pruneridge for whenever we
are ready to put it in.
Comm. Cooper asked if bike lanes are being considered. The Director of
Public Works said the City is planning bike lanes throughout Vallco Park.
Comm. Cooper was answered by the Planning Director that it would be
very difficult to enforce the staggering of work hours.
(Comm. Cooper said she believes that schools located near light industrial
is good planning as long as the schools and the companies don't have the
same hours.
Mr. Terry Rose, 21311 Milford Drive, Cupertino, said he returned from
his vacation early to find that his application was on the agenda. lie
said he wants to work with the neighborhood. Cupertino allows 40% building
coverage; they are at 33%_ Tenants are not going to stay in a building
that has inadequate parking. Ile feels the City's parking ratio for
light industrial is adequate. He thinks the planned 6' masonry wall will
inhibit noise. He would not like to position the buildings so the doors
face the freeway overcrossing.

MINUTES OF THE APRIL 22, 1974 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
Comm. Cooper asked if the applicant was aware of the PD Zone and
whether he understands the trips per acre formula. Mr. Rose said
he had just read it the day of this meeting.
Mr. Russ Ciota, 3054 Sullivan, Santa Clara, said there are 550
homes in Westwood Oaks area. He recommended some kind of shield
to deflect the noise from the trucks.
Katie Colety, 634 Hudson, Santa Clara, commented on traffic
conditions. She is concerned because her children must cross the
heavily traveled ways to go to and from school and to see their
friends. The crossing guard told her this is the worst school
crossing in Santa Clara.
Mrs. Pat Monahan, 3876 Pruneridge, Santa Clara, has lived there
some ten years. She heard promises of greenbelt, limits of height!
of buildings, etc. She said there is a row of buildings along
both sides of. Tantau that are generating a great deal of traffic.
Mr. Rose said there will be a signal at Tantau and Pruneridge.
Further, he will approach the City of Santa Clara about having the
speed limit enforced and possibly reduced.
Mr. Bob Welch, Meadow Avenue, Santa Clara said his property is
adjacent to the property under discussion. He would like the
Planning Commission to try to resolve the noise problem.
Mary Stout, 520 Meadow Avenue, Santa Clara, feels the masonry
wall will retain the heat. She would like alternative ways of
reducing the noise to be considered.
Comm. Gatto asked the Director of Public Works how many cars will
be allowed on this site. The Director said they are planning 43
spaces per acre instead of the 50 spaces per acre allowed by
Ordinance. Mr. Rose said he would get together with the staff to
work on these numbers.
Comm. Gatto would like to see one curb cut eliminated.
He said the masonry wall is much better for noise abatement than
landscaping. He would like to see some trees added. This would
be much better than 25' of landscaping.
Comm. Cooper would like to see a wider setback from the resident
if the parking lot is. going to be reduced.
Moved by Comm. Gatto, seconded by Comm. Woodward to continue
