TOPICS FOR DISCüSSION, as announced, were these:
I, C-l-H, Cupertino High School Frontage
II Width of Blaney Avenue
III Sign Ordinance
IV Building Control
Mr. Myers, Planning Consultant, stated that good
plann1ng principles indicate that C-I-H is not a good use
immedlately adjacent to a school, plus the fact that any
addltlon to the commercial zoning is questionable policy,
Regarding the immediate SChool ground plan hè expressed
concern with the parking area and he informed the Council
that the parking space will not meet the requirements when
the school is occupied by the full four grades,
After some discussion Mr,Bell, Chairman of the Planning
Commission, submitted his opinion that there is no urgency
to the matter since no application has actually been sub-
mitted. In view of the prevailing faots he felt that it
would be in 1;he interest of both jurisdictions to retain
present zoning. until the parking and/or other developments
can be watched, In the mean time the factor of land value
would work in favor of the school district inasmuch as
property would be worth more in a few years. .
Commissioner Leonard declared that it is not the business
or function of the school district to deal in the real
estate market. The state, he said, has established fourty
(40) aCl~S as the site necessary for a high school facility;
inasmuch as this is true he looks with disfavor upon the
sale of school property.
Mr. Myers said that the Major Street Plan of the C1ty
adopted a few months ago was drawn largely to show the state
that the City did have a plan during the negotiations
involving the freeway routes. He sald that he anticipated
changes in the plan and the present might be just the time
to start.
In discussion that followed Councilman Lazaneo raised
the main point, namely how to make Blaney a uniform width
of 90 feet with the Aaderbrook Tract alreadY built,
necessitating that a row of houses be removed to achieve
the 90 foot right of way, .
Suggestion~ included a 60 foot plan line for south
Blaney and 90 feet for north Blaney, on a funnel principle
as Commissioner L~onard put it. The presence of a creek
culvert on South Blaney makes the width more important
since these box culverts are expensive, the wider the more
so.

Planning Commission, September 22. The Commission dld not
guarantee that a recommendation would be forthcoming at
the next meeting although the Council requested haste.
.'
IV 9"ilding oontrol was discussed with suggestions ranging
froln the need o:~ Z.ü:'G.ing Ins:)t}ctor to a necess1ty for
H Cohtrol with various methods of securing the desired
type of housing explored. Consensus appeared to be that
there is no formula or s1mple method by which th1s can be
obtained. Continued tightening of architectural control
will be sought,
