cedural policies are contained within the Planned Development
zoning district for the North De Anza Boulevard plannin~ area.
~\rea 4 - Town Cen[er
I'}ie Town Cen[er Planning area con[ains approximately 100 acres
located within the southeast quadrant of the in[ersection of
Stevens Creek IIoulev~rd .tr,d South Dc Anza Roul~va-_d. The nnrr.hern
I1A.LF of the araa i.^. dominated hy thc Cali Mill, some limiteri
, conme~cta] acti.v~Cies, an~i hy apri.~ultur~), uses (apricot orchard
and drying sheds) which surround [he Cali plant site. The sou[hern
half of the site is occupied by [he Civic Center (Citv Hall and
Library) and general and medical office uses. Rodrigues Avenue
generall.y serves as a boundary line betc~een [he undeveloped
northern properties and [he developed southern properties.
The close proximity of approximately 50 vacant and semi-developed
acres to the his[orical crossroads of the community affords the
property owners and the Community and opportunity to create a
development complex which fulfills a number of community objec[ives.
Thf~ accompanying master plan for the SO acre Town Center property
(Pi~ure ZG) will help implement the objectives outlined below:
I Communi[y Identi[v
' Town Center will con[ain a diverse mix of office, office servinq
, commercial, entertainment and restaurant activities. The diverse
' land use mix, coupled with generous plazas and a varied building
turm, will provide identity for the Ci[y's historical commercial
dislrict. If determined feasible by future traffic studies, the
' exicrin~ Cali ~1111 could be replaced by multi-storied buildin~s
~:ith a variety oE shapes. The buildings would main[ain a landmark ;
Struc[ure in the corner which wi11 visually stren~then the role of
the ?oun Center as the symbolic and functional City Centec.
Provide HousinQ Opportunities
The large size of the property coupled wi[h i[s proximity tn major
arterials and its separa[ion from large sinRle-famiiv residential
districts, provides an opportunity to constrtict I~ousinR at greater
densities. 'fhe increased density will provide greater housing
~ opportuni[y for employees who are a[tracted to the City's expandinR
j lndustrial firms.
~
O~en Space
~1 mnster development plan Eor the 50 ncres will result in an
• assembiaRe of open space to provide functional qreen space and
hard piazas whicli would meet the needs of employees and shoppers
and the community in general.

I'he Land Use PLan
Development Intensity - Traffic and Sewer Constraints
Ttie Land Use Intensity for Town Center is cons[rained pendLng
completion ~~f a study to analyze the capacity of existing sewer
lines and traffic capacity of City streets. During the interim,
tfie intensity of the development permi[ted in Town Center will be
guided by the principle that Town Center property owners will be
allowed development incensity no greater than that allowed other
indivi.duals owning property served by Stevens Creek Roulevard and
' P1or[h De Anza Boulevard. Although land use intensity is restricted,
land use and design policies enbodied in the accompanying dia~ram
describe how development intensity increases can be accommodated
pending a solution to traffic and sewer problems.
Land Use Type and Intensity by Property Ownership
' Fi~ure Z-E identifies land use type and intensi[y by property
~ ownership. The 6uilding intensi[ies for each property owner de-
~ picted in Figure 2-E reflects an allocation system for permitted
I development intensity on the entire fifty acre site. Property
~ owners may agree [o reallocate development intensity and land
use type commensurate with the design guidelines established on
Figure 2-C.

CondiCional Yhase of Development Activit,y - Cali Property
Figure 2-F identifies the area that could receive a greater inten-
sity of developme~t should the General Plan be modified to accom-
moda[e higher levels of development in the Town Center and other
areas within the communi[y. The identification of a sub acea that
can accommodate addittonal growth potential is imporGant because
it will ensure [hat design controls embodied in the current plan
can accommodate a Cransition to a more intense land form should
the community make that decision at a later date.

Urban Design Policies
Figure 2-C is an urban design policy plan which identifies the
general location of building areas~ vehictiilar access points, and
public open space. The design policy plan is applicable to build-
ing ineensities iden[iFied on Figure 2-E and higher building
Intensities should a Euture General Plan Amendment allow greater
intensity. As a practical matter, the likelihood for the develop-
ment of public ameni[ies such as the public plaza and open space
~ is greatly enhanced as development intensity increases. Other
community benefits such as placement of vehicular parking in

partially depressed structures and the cuns[ruction oE facilities
tc more directly integrate mass transit into the development are
also dependent upon higher building intensities than those depic[ed
an Figure 2-E.
~pen Space
i
The open space network proposed by the development ranges from the
installation of a plaza for passive activities near [he Crossroads
intersection to the construction of passive and active spaces near
the center of the planning area. The central open space area is
, intended for passive activity related [o sunning, people watching,
informal eating in conjuction with the adjoininR res[aurants.and
on occaslo~i, community activities such as art exhibits sponsored by
a community group or tenants wi[hin the complex. Active open space
facilities will be designed to accommodate informal group play acti-
vities for members of [he community as a whole and residents living
within the Town Center planning area.
The Town Center residents living eas[ of Torre Avenue will be able
to p,ain access to the open space area [hrough clearly defined ped-
estrian corridors. The residential comple~ces would be self-con-
tc3lned in [erms of providing active recreatinn activities. Accord-
in~ly, the residential developers would be given 50% credit for open
space requirements. In lieu fees for the remaininF 50% requirement
will be collected and used for eventual purchase of park space as
provided by the parks element of the Generai Plan.
Transportation Planning
The building intensities permi[ted on Figure 2-E do no[ require a
ma,jor wideninR and im~rovement program for the in[ersection of De
Anz3 Boulevard and Stevens Creek Boulevard. The improvemen[s, would
however, require widening improvements of De Anza Boulevard to con-
form with [he existinR s[ree[ conEiguration on the por[ion of [he
roadway loca[ed north of S[evens Creek Boulevard. The expansion
of Torre Avenue from RodriFues Avenue to Stevens Creek Boulevarc{
will be installed in conjunction with the development of prope~ties
Loca[ed east of Torre Avenue.
The exact sequencin~ of street improvements will be determined 1n
canjunc[ion with developmen[ applications. A traffic signal at the
intersection of Torre Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard will be Ln-
st;~lled. Ti~e intersection design would provide for traffic controls
to proliibit tfie movemen[ of traffic from Vis[a Drive across Stevens
Creek Boulevard to Lazaneo Drive.
The Stevens Creek and De Anza Boulevard frontage will be designed to
accommoda[e bus turn-outs, and a pedestrian circulation scheme will
be dPVeloped co Eacilitate the movement of transit patrons. The
design plan depicted by Figure 2-G denotes maJor access points into
the property from De Anza Iioulevard, Stevens Creek Boulevard;and
the minor internal streets.

, ~ The planning policy plan will permit property owners to develop
independently. The review process for individual developments
' will address reciprocal access and parking agreements and street
, and signalization improvement obligations of individual developers
based upon an equitable benefit Formula.
