MACKAY & SOMPS: Application 39-Z-61 to rezone 260' x 168r
R-2-H and R-3-H to C-I-H; south side of Rodrigues Avenue,
west of Highway 9. Denied by Planning Commission Resolution
Appeal Continued.
John Racanelli, 377 S. Murphy, Sunnyvale, represented the
applicant, and stated that whole issue to be decided is whether or
not the City Council wants professional use at the subject location.
He referred to the rendering submitted at the previous meeting, and
said that the proposed single story professional office for MacKay
& Somps would be equal to or better than R-2 or R-3 development.
He pointed out there can be workable restrictions to assure that
this cannot become just another commercial development.
Mr. Racanelli then read a letter signed by him and carryi~
the signature of George E. Somps of MacKay & Somps, outlining
~ertain restrictions which could be imposed. (Letter filed with
the Clerk), The applicant \'Iill a~ree to professional zoning at the
time such z0ning is adopted, and (2) the property n~y be rezoned
back to R-2-H and R-3-H if a bUilding permit is not obtained within
six months, and (3) that the written commitment be incorporated in
the minutes of the proceedings and that same be recorded in Official
Records of Santa Clara County.
r1r, Racanelli stated that the applicant is \'Iilling to abide
by the wishes of the Council. He asked that any questions be raised
during a public hearing, in order that he may have an opportunity to
answer,
The Vice-Mayor advised Mr. Racanelli that discussion is held
only by the Council after public hearings are closed, He stated that
he feels that the objection to the rezoning of this parcel is to
the zoning itself, and that the use of the property is not necessar-
ily found to be objectionable,
Councilman Pelosi called attention to the fact that the public
hearing has been closed, referring to the minutes of October 16th.
He said the reaSOn this was put off was to get all the information
to the Council so that it could ta!ce a vote on the applìcation,

Councilman Jewett ~aid that after looking into this parcel of
land he fom,d that some of the neighbors are not opposed to the
MacKay ëc Somps professional building as such, but they are opposed
to C-l-H, and he also is opposed to putting C-l-H zoning there, but
is in favor of this type of bUilding coming into Cupertino. He said
he thinlcs this can be worlced out to the satisfaction of the people
in the neighborhood as \'Jell as the City, He said further that the
Planning Commission is vJOrl,ing on a PO-H ordinance, and if this
building as proposed is approved on PO-H zoning, he can see nothing
wrong with the building on this site. He said that if the City is
going to worry about what is going to go in next, it will be going
baclcwards every day, He reiterated that he is very much in favor of
MacI\aY & Somps' building coming into our City, and that if we could
take the time, he is in favor of sending this application back to the
Planning Commission for a PO-H ordinance,
Councilman Saich said that he concurs with the statement of
Councilman Jewett, in objecting to C-I-H for this parcel, and sug-
gested that an emergency PO-H ordinance might be prepared.
Councilman Pelosi stated that the application before the Councj.l
is for C-l-H, and should be approved or denied, He said this land is
not suited for C-l-H zoning, Formerly it was C-l-H and the applicant
applied for and received R-2-H and R-3-H. At that time the applicant
reasoned that this was the best possible use of the land. He said
there are many other areas in Cupertino available for this building.
This is the only place in Cupertino where commercial is going on a
residential street,
Moved by Councilman Pelosi that the application be denied, in
accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No, 70. Seconded by
Councilman Saich.
