III MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS: October 16 and 31, 1961 and

Approval of the above listed minutes was deferred to the next

IV PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A, MACYiliY & SOMPS: Application 39-2-61 to rezone 260' x 168' from
R-2-H and R-3-H to C-l-H; south side of Rodrigues Avenue, 310' west
of Highway 9, Denied by Planning Comm1ssion Resolution 70, Appeal,
Continued.
Mayor Lazaneo said that the public hearing on the application had
been closed, and asked if there was any further discussion desired
on the application.
Councilman Benetti said he felt C-l-H could not apply as it
did not belong in the area, and that this was the feeling of the
Council at the last few meetings, He expressed the opinion that
this type of building and profession would be an asset to the City
and he would look to leßal counsel to see if there is any way to pass
this other than through C-I-H. He said this had been discussed, but
for the record would lilce the City Attorney to repeat his feelings
and advice to the Council on the matter.
The City Attorney stated that the County ordinance does not
provide for a use permit for professional use in R-2 and R-3, however
some of the neighboring cities do allow this. Such use is limited
to a pre-existing structure where a time limit can be put on the
use. Also they have limited this to R-3 but not R-2. We have both
R-2 and R-3 he said, If an urgency ordinance is passed creating this
power, the applicant would go back to the Planning Comm1ssion and if
denied, would appeal to this body. Professional uses in Cupertino
are in C-l-H areas he said, The City found no need for professional
zoning because of the large professional use on C-I-H property, In
the present case the nature of the user is a professional office for
an engineering firm, The applicant has stated that traffic would be
reduced to a minimum, In order to protect the resjdential character
of the area, the user would be limited by deed restrictions limitIng
use. Legally, if C-I-H were granted subject to conditions of deed
restrictions, it would be an effort to tie in professional use on a
C-I-H parcel, C-l-H would cover this operation.
The Mayor said that the public hearing should probably be re-
opened.
Councilman Benetti said the question is, are \'Ie gOing to allow
C-I-H in the area? Will the applicant insist on a vote tonight?
Professional zoning in Cupertino is something we are looking for and
development is something \'Ie are looking for, he said, but C-l-H
in this area does not seem to be good planning. .
The City Attorney stated that an urgency ordinance can be framed
and enacted to bring the County PO o~dinance into the City if the
Council wants this,
-1-

d ~
r~yor J~~dneo stated that tne PO ordinance the Planning
Commission is working on is definitely a planned professional area,
not designed for smaller areas. He said the Council should look into
the matter of framing a PO ordinance for uses of this type.
'rhe City Attorney stated that the County ordinance could be
enacted as an emergency ordinance to be in effect until such time as
the PO-H ordinance is enacted. In answer to a question from the
Mayor, the City Attorney said that if the applicant requests amend-
ment of his application to PO-H, the Council could pass the ordinance
and grant the zoning. This would take about 3 months he said.
!~yor Lazaneo asked the time element if an emergency ordinance
were adopted; the City Attorney advised that the County Ordinance
NS 1200 has been through hearing and could be adopted as an urgency
measure,
Councilman Jewett asl~ed the Clerk to read the letter of intent
submitted by MacKay & Somps, and asked if the CODmLttments were made
part of the record, what oearing would it have on the q~est~on.
The City Attorney advised that if recorded, it would be binding
on MacI(ay & Somps, but does not grant any rights to the City. How-
ever, if the zoning were granted 8ubject to the conditions stated
in the. letter, and the property were used for anotì1er purpose, Or the
owners failed to develop aa stated, the City would have a cause of
action against them,
Councilman Benetti stated there were some questions to be
answered i.n order to malce a decislon. ¡~oved by Councilman Benetti
that the public hearing be reopened. Seconded by Co'Uncilman Jewett,

Glen Atkinson, 20605 Rodrigues Avenue, asked the date of the
letter' submitted by MacICay & Somps, (November 6, 1961), and asked if
this was prior to the fi¡:-st hearing. If not, he asked if the letter
is legally binding,
The City Attorney said that t:Üs letter is an off8l' ;;'y t:1e
applicant and is not desiGned to bind the Council,
Mr. Atkinson stated that since the City is lacl~ing PO-H zoning
to encourage this. type of development, it behooves the Council to
pass an ordinance of this type so zoning would be made to fit, He
said that to protect the rights of the people, the City should pass
an emergency ordinance anQ get the zoning in the right spot. He said
the way is clear for the Cou¡1c~1 to go ahead on tlÜs basis,
Mrs, Atkinson stated she Hould question the acceptance of the
letter because it was presented to the Council after the hearings
were closed, and therefore, should not be made part of the records.
The ~hyor asked Mr. Racanelli if the City Attorney was instr~~~cted
to draw up an ordinance for a professional offJ.ce district, would the
applicants have any objection to such ordinance being presented at
the next meeting,
John Racanelli, representing the applicants, said that if there
were some assurance that the application would be treated with the
same dignity as other applications, he would have no objection, He
said the applicants are 110t asking for any special treatment, and
went on to say the hearing is now open and that he Hould reaffirm the
statements made in the letter of November 6, and requested the letter
be made part of the minutes,
Mr. Racanelli stated they would like some !cind of determination,
The matter is now three months old, he said. TIle proposed deed
restrictions will render the prop9rty unsalable, al1d the character
of the business and those \'lOrlcing for the concern should be taken into
consideration,

He introduced a petition c¡rculated by Mr. $omps, stating
that not everyone on the street was opposed to the application. He

Mr. I':!acKayasked i:í" it Hould be possible to build with a use
permit with the same restrictions that apply to a professional ofnce
district. He said that all oíJìcss in Cuperiino are in C-l-H zones.
The City Attorney stated that if the county PO ordinance is
enacted as an urgency measure at the next meeti~g there would not be
a delay. I~ said the applicants are men of good reputation,
r1ayor Lazaneo concurred with the City Attorney, stating that
there is no doubt that tlÜs a reputable firm, and that the City has
no discrinùnating racts against the company or the people working
there,
The City Attorney stated that if an urgency PO ordinance is
enacted and the MacKay & Somps rezoning ordinance introduced at the
same meeting, it would talee 5 days for the enactment of the ordinance
and 30 days for the ordlnance to become final. He said the PC
ordinance would take effect immediately, but that the rezoning would
not be final for 35 days after the December 4th meeting.
George Somps stated they would like to build the professional
office on normal setbacles lilee any other prOf'eG,sional ordinance, add
aslced if theR- 3 ordinance coulct be amended to provide for a use
permi t,
The City Attorney reiterated it would be advisable to go ahead
and enact the County PO ordlnance, He read excerpts from the County
ordinance relating to the purpose, and said the Council will have to
decic1e on such issues as lot useage, etc.
At the request of C0U11cilman Benetti, the Mayor read the petition
presented by the applicant aûd signed by 7 persons, representing 4
homeo,mers on Rodrigues Avenue.
Nr, Somps again stated that they are limited as to time, and that
they must vacate their present building by !<Jay I, a¡1d again asked if
a use permit would expedite the matter,
The City Attorney said that after the second reading of the
rezoning ordinance, the applicant could ask for aù~tnistrative
approval, and could be allol'led to begin construction, This has been
done in the case of pilot houses for various subdivisions,
Councilman Jewett asked the applicants if December 18 for the
second reading of the rezoi1Ìng ordinance would be acceptable, and Nr.
Somps stated it would depend on the ordinance, and that is why they
were aslÜng for a use permi t.
Nr. Atkinson stated the City should get the pl~per ordinance
to fit the case. He said there is not 100% opinion of the people on
the street; many would li1:e to see this remain duplex zoning.
r1rs, l\tlcinson said the COUllty Ordinance ic a pretty big step to
tal{e. Once the City gets the County Ordinance, it is stuclc with it,
and the City Council may regret the action in the future, she sald.
This should take a great deal of study, The petition presented
represents only L. homeowners, and there are 15 homes on the street,
about one-fourth of the homeo\mers, some of ,¡hom ¡1ave commercial
zoning any,¡ay and would have no objection to it. She said that one
question brought up in the past, and which has not been answered, is
the matter of the street. Is there gOlng to be a LfO' dedication for
a half-street? She also called attention to the fact that the Planning
Comn1lcsion went over tlÜs carefully and came up Vll th a denial. She
requested that the Council reject the plan.
The Mayor said that these questions can only be answered by the
applicant. Referring to the road going north and south, he asked the
applicants if they are Hilling to bond for the improvements for the
40' half-street.

Mr. &crops said he did not think this should be a point of con-
tention, The building would f~nt on Rodrigues, he said, and when the
property to the rear develops, the road would be a pertinent factor.
He said they are willing to bond for the road on the west.
Nr. P.acanelli said that the Planning CommissiQ¡1 wanted to ¡mow
if the applicant would Hait for PO-H and he said they would not
because time is of the essence. The merits of PO-H were not dis-
cussed as such.
Cowùissioner Small stated that the Commission did ask MacKay
& Somps to wait for PO-H and they said they could not, and asked
that the Commission act on the C-l-H, which they did.
Mr, Racanelli asked if the applicant could now amend the
ordinance, discuss the conditions and pass upon the merits of the
application this evening, and the applicant can leave knowing they
can malce firm plans. He stated the applicants have a 5 months
schedule, and the Council should be able to so determine this evening.

for the same roads, If the map is a~proved torÜ::;ht, roads are bonded
by two parties,
The City Attorney aslæd about convenants on maintenance of
private parles. This was to be handled through deed restrictions, and
the applicant was to submit a copy of the restrict~ons.
