IV ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
A Mr. Pete Camarda, 10191 Blaney Avenue, Cupertino, said he has
lived in Cupertino all his life and feels that the City Staff
is not working in the best interests of Cupertino citizens.
He went into detail of events that have taken place since he
moved a home onto his property in Cupertino. He said he got
his permit to move this house down from the hills and the City
agreed to do the engineering for $200. Today he was told he
must pay for the storm drains in addition to curbs, gutters
and sidewalks and street improvements along the front of his
property.
Councilman Noel asked how this $200 figure was arrived at.
Mayor Finch said that on May 20, 1963, the City Council adopted
a Resolution setting a $200 minimum for engineering. Assistant
City Engineer Shook said storm drainage fees are normally
$780 per acre. Mr. Camarda said he recently planted fruit
trees in the back of this property and wonders if that land
should be included in figuring this. The Assistant City
Engineer said the survey crews have been out and on the site
three times to set stakes for the curb, gutter and street
grade, plus office time. As of last Friday, there had been
some $90 in wages logged against this application. These are
the conditions imposed on all improvement projects.
Councilman Noel said he would like to look into this further
and have it on the agenda for the next regular meeting.
Mr. Camarda said, "Let's make it a little easier for people
to build here in Cupertino." He said the reason he was at this
meeting was that maybe he can make 'it a little easier for the
next fellow who wants to build his own home in Cupertino.
Councilman.Stokes said he would also like to get more informa-
tion on this situation..
Mr. Camarda was asked if this delay would impose a hardship on
him. He said that it would not.

V A. REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION (See Minutes of 2/8/65 )
1. Application of Angel Diaz, No. 21-•Z-64 to rezone from R-3-II
to C-1-H was al.:r_;_-oved with the 12 standard conditions and
13. Any dedica, ,ions aTid improvements rcc;ui.red by the City
Staff in conjunct -ion with Ste,c ens Creek D1vd . , and
14.. A 60' front yard set back, to align it with existing
adjacent business.
Comm. Johnson said this decision was eased on the fact that
this location is unsuitable for residentiall and that commercial
would be the obvious use.
2. Denial of application 13-U-64 for a veterinarian clinic and
laboratory was based on the review of other ordinances in
the County in situations like this and that it would be
detrimental to the health, comfort and general welfare of the
people in this area. This is adjacent to Cupertino's Town
Center.
3. Application 22-Z-64, for the Franklin -Windsor Development Co.,
was denied on the basis that it would be spot zoning, it would
mean there would be. a parking lot adjacent to R-1, and it
would increase already bad traffic conditions.
4. After much discussion, the Planning Commission voted 6_0 to
instruct the City Staff to draft a letter to the ABC, making
note of the Planning Commission's objections to a cocktail
bar in a. neighborhood shopping center.
Councilman Stokes asked if this ,was within the limitations of
the present zoning. The City Attorney said that it was. The
County permits it. San Jose permits it.
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Fitzgerald,
that, in view of the fact that this has already been heard
by the ABC, the Council is not in favror of having this letter
written. He further moved that if the Planning Commission
feels they would like to '.Lave some kind of regulatory powers
over bars in the City they should work this out with the City
Attorney.
Motion carried, 4-0
B REPORT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE APPROVAL COMMISSION
(See Minutes. of 2/9/65)
1. Chairman Small stated that his H-Control Commission is going
to have a study session this Tuesday for the purpose of
drafting a new H-Control Ordinance.
2. The H-Control Commission has rescinded two applications,
108-HC-63 (Stewart Moldaw) and 79-HC-63 (Gagliasso/Stocklemeier /
McCarthy) because they have exceeded the one-year time limit.
Mayor Finch asked if this has been checked out with the City
Attorney. He learned that it had.
_4
Councilman Stokes felt that perhaps 'the Council should do
some serious studying of interim zoning ordinances. The fact
that the City now has a large amount of undeveloped R-3 is
an indication that the Idea of interim zoning has some merit.
Councilman Fitzgerald asked what grounds we would have to
take away the zoning from someone who has had his zoning for
several years.
The City Attorney's opinion was when the property owner has
expended capital the zoning should remain.
Councilman Noel asked if there is a renewal charge. The
City Attorney advised that we should have the power to renew
if the applicant comes before the Council and asks for it
before his application expires.
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Noel, that
a note be sent to the Planning Commission to look into the
possibility of interim zoning and its pros and cons in regard
to Cupertino.
Motion carried, 4-0
VI PUBLIC HEARINGS
A ANGEL DIAZ: Application 21-Z-64 for rezoning from R-3-H
to C -1-H; one-fourth of an acre, approximately; north side
of Stevens Creek Blvd., 408' west of Vista Drive. Approved
by Planning Commission Resolution No. 240, Jan. 25, 1965.
Mr. Richard Faust, 2409 Fair Oak Court, San Jose, represented
the applicant. He said they feel this property is too small
for R-3-H. Their plan is to continue the commercial in con-
formance with the existing auto parts store next door. Park -
will be in the front and underneath.the.building. They feel
the whole area should be developed in a homogeneous manner.
They will maintain the 60' set back established by the auto
parts store. They plan to have office -type stores; e.g.,
real estate, title company, etc.
Mayor Finch asked for comments from the audience. There were
none.

B THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES, INC.: Appeal re: application 13-U-64
to grant a Use Permit for a Veterinary Clinic & Laboratory,
20432 Silverado Ave.; C-1-H Zone. Denied by Planning
Commission Resolution No. 239, Jan. 25, 1965.
• WI
Attorney John J. Hayes, Jr., 40 N. First Street, San Jose,
represented the applicant. He gave a resume of the pro-
ceedings at the Planning Commission level.. He explained
that this is a veterinary clinic not a hospital and he
went on to explain the difference. There would absolutely
be no facilities for overnight care. There is a back
entrance.
It was the opinion of Attorney Hayes that no.Use Permit
was even required in this case. The surrounding area is
C-1-H. He asked if the Planning Commission would have the
right to deny this application if this were professional
zoning.
Attorney Hayes said there is a poodle grooming situation
in this same type of zoning at Blaney and Stevens Creek
Blvd. He does not see why this type of an operation should
be placed in an idustrial location. He invited any
questions the Council might have in regard to this type
of situation versus a veterinary hospital.
Mayor Finch asked for comments from the audience. There
were none.
Councilman Fitzgerald said he had a phone call indicating
that Dr. Thompson has an ad in the classified section of
the phone book for this clinic under 'Veterinary Hospitals."
Dr. Thompson said the classified section of the phone book
has no veterinary clinic designation so there was no
alternative but to list it there.
Councilman Noel asked whether there would be grooming of
animals here. Answer was in the negative.
Councilman Fitzgerald said he was inclined to agree with
the Planning Commission's decision in this case. When
these facilities were built it was under C-1-H. The -City
allowed him to build under C-1-H with the provision that
nothing but professional people would be in here. A
beauty shop had to apply for a Use Permit to operate here.
Councilman Noel said he was aware that we could use another
vet, in this area, but he is not convinced that this is
the place to have him, next to the Town Center. The other
offices will contain a dental lab, a real estate office,
a title company and a beauty parlor. A veterinary clinic
would not be compatible.
Councilman Stokes asked what his office hours would be-. He
was told it would be from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. And there is
a walkway to the rear entrance. .
M
Mayor Finch asked the opinion of the City Attorney about the
statement by the applicant's attorney that this, type of
operation does not call for a Use Permit. The City Attorney
said the County puts this.type of operation,in.a C-2 District
and requires a Use Permit. We do not have C-2 zoning. This
is a new, innovation. This is the.first time this distinction
has come before"this city. There is no way to police this
thing to see.whether or not animals are kept overnight. The
County'Ordinance is based on the,noise,factor. No goods or
products are involved here.
Attorney Hayes asked what the difference.is between an animal
grooming parlor and a veterinary clinic. The City Attorney
said he assumed it would be the same difference as between a
barber shop and a doctor's office..
it' was the opinion of the City Attorney that we would need an
Ordinance Amendment to accept this.
Moved by Councilman Fitzgerald, seconded by Councilman Noel,
to close the Public Hearing.
AYES: Councilmen Fitzgerald, Noel, Stokes, Finch
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Dempster
Motion carried, 4-0
Moved by Councilman Fitzgerald, seconded by Councilman Noel,
that the appeal for application 13-U-64 be denied, based on
the fact that it would be so.near the Town Center. They are
not against t-his type of operation; :only that it should not
be in this location.

C FRANKLIN-WINDSOR.DEVELOPTUENT CO.: Appeal re.: Application
22-Z-64 for rezoning from R-1 to PO-H; Lot 1, T.ract 2551,
NW corner Bollinger & Clifden. Denied by Planning Commission
Resolution No. 241, Jan. 25, 1965.
Mr. Donald Franklin, 1615 Ronald Court., San Jose,.asked for
..a.postponement based on the fact that he just learned, on the
way over to the meeting, that there was a petition with about
;100 names on it, objecting to this rezoning and he felt that
...the way the petition was written was misleading. He wanted
.the. opportunity to meet with these homeowners to explain PO-H
zoning to them and also to listen to their views.
Moved by Councilman Stokes, seconded by Councilman Noel, to
postpone application 22=Z-64 for'two weeks.
There was visible disagreement in the. audience at this point.

Mr. Frank Fortin, 10685 Martinwood Way, Cupertino, felt that
the majority of the people already know what he is planning.
The City Attorney advised the citizens to give the applicant
every chance to present his case, then to give their rebuttal.
Councilman Noel felt the. citizens would have every right to
speak their piece during the Public Hearing.
Moved by Councilman Noel to postpone application 22-Z-64
until March lst. This motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Doug Boyd, 20301 Clifden Way, Cupertino, said the citizens
are well aware of what PO-H means so a meeting with the
homeowners would be pointless.
Mr. Nicholas Angelopulos, 20378 Gillick Way, Cupertino, urged
the Councilmen to proceed with this application at this meeting.
Moved by Mayor Finch, seconded by Councilman Noel, to deny
postponement of application 22-Z-64.
AYES: Councilmen Fitzgerald; Noel, Stokes, Finch
NOES: None
ABSENT: Councilman Dempster
Motion carried, 4-0
Mr. Franklin went ahead with his presentation. He explained
that he had checked with the neighbors to the north of this
property and they are not against this rezoning. Three of
six homes along Bollinger are up for sale because this is not
a suitable area for R-1. FHA will not approve R-1 here. A
duplex would not fit on this lot. R-3 could go to three
stories, which he did not feel the other residents would like.
Commercial zoning is out of the question. PO-H seems to be
the only answer. It will be a one-story building which must
come before the H-Control.
Mr. Franklin said there is no PO-H earmarked on the master
plan because that ordinance was designed to take care of
situations expressly like this. There will be a 1300 sq. ft.
building on a 7500 sq. ft. lot. It will be 70 ft. from the
duplex.
Mr. Frnak Fortin read the petition, signed by 100 citizens,
and handed it over to the City Clerk. Mr. Jack Bumgardner,
20305 Gillick Way, said he helped get the signatures on the
petition. He said his wife called a local real estate office
and inquired about a home that was for sale on Bollinger.
She was told that it is zoned R-1 now, but that there was a
test case before the Council now and the zoning along Bollinger
might very well change.
Mr. Boyd said that some of the people in the area said that Now -
anything would be better than weeds, but that these people
do not plan to stay in the area.
Mr. Backman, 20431 Bollinger Road, said he is definitely
against this rezoning. He feels they will take advantage of
the parking space along the curb, in front of his new duplex.

Mr. Franklin agreed that this is a new community and that it
is zoned for R-1. However, Billinger is a heavily travelled
street and it is just 100 feet from Highway 9. Any home
built here will ultimately be a detriment to the neighborhood.
PO-H is the only answer here. Mr. Fortin said that the homes
in this area that are in San Jose may not be well kept, but
those on the Cupertino side are very well kept up.
Mr. Howard Horne, 20396 Clifden Way, Cupertino, felt this
area should have originally been zoned for commercial. Homes
along Bollinger are very hard to sell. There is lots of
traffic and lots of noise. He felt this was a natural place
for a professional office.
Mr. Angelopoulos said it took longer to sell the home next
door to him, on Gillick Way, than it did homes on Bollinger.
Mrs. Juanita Mc Laren, 22101 Lindy Lane, said someone has come
in to try to get the highest and best use of this property
and she feels he should be given every consideration.
Councilman Fitzgerald said his office has a listing for a
home on Bollinger Road and they are listing as one of its
assets the large rumpus room at the rear. This home has been
for sale for some time and they are still trying to move it
as residential.
Mr. Franklin said he is willing to go along with "No Parking"
signs along Bollinger. He did not feel the other residential
along Bollinger could get rezoning because they would not
have the necessary parking spaces. He was.reminded that, at
the Planning Commission level, the City Planner had said
that if two houses decided to get together, they would get
the necessary parking spaces.

to ask one of the Planning Commissioners to resign. The City
Attorney said it is within the law to have either 5 or 7
Planning Commissioners. However, if one vacancy remained
unfilled for a short period of time it would be within the
law. Comm.. Johnson stated that Comm. Small wished to stay
on until May.

D Councilman Fitzgerald wanted to bring to the attention of the
Council a portion of the last Planning Commission Minutes in

some scrious study1ng of Inter1m zoning ordinances. The t'a.-:t
that the Clt7 now has a large amount ot undevelopeci R-3 1s

Atto:o:-ney John J. Hayes, J:., 40 N. First Street, san JC3e,
represented the applicant. He gave a resume 01" the pro-
ceedf.J168 at; the Plaming Coll1ll1sslon level. He exp:!.alned
tœt th18 is & veter1n!lry cl1nic not a hospItal and he
went on to explain the di!fp.rence. There would absolutely
be no 1'8~ll1tles for overflight care. Thcre Is a back
entrance.
It was the opinion 01" Attorney HaYHS that no Use Permit
was even required in this case. T!", surround1ns area is
C-l-H. He asked If the Plaming Comm1.asion would have 1;he
right to deny this application i1" this were prcfessior4l
'::ùn1ng .
Attorney Hayes said there is a poodle gro~ming s1tuation
in this same type of zoning at B1..aney and Stevens Creek
Blvd. He does not see why this type of an o?eration should
be placed in an idustrtal location. He inv1t~d any
questions the Council ~~ht have in regard to thi~ type
o~ situat10n versus a vete!'inary hospital.
Mayor Pinch asked fer COr.mIC!'lts from the aud1erce. Th",re
were none.
Counci~~n Fitzgerald said he had a phone .::all 1ndicating
that Dr. Thomp:;on !'.as an aò. in ti,e class1f1ed section 01"
the phone bo(>it for th':'s clin':'c \;i1:ier "Ve1;erinary Hospitals."
Dr. Tho~son said the classified section of the phone book
ha~ no veter1:~!'y clir.lc designat10n so there was no
alternative bu~ to list it the~e.
Councl1man lIoel asked I<hether there >/ould be groomil~ of
animals here. Answer was in the negatlve.
Cour-cilman Pitzgerald said he wa3 inclined to agree with
the Planning Commission 's decislon in this case. When
these 1"acilities were built i~ ~~ under C-l-H. The City
allowed him to build under C-l-P. with t~e ~~ovision that
nothing but professional people wouU be in :¡ere. A
beauty shop had to apply for a Use Permit to ~perate here.
Councllman Noel said he was aware that we could use another
vet. 1n this area, but he is not convinced that this Is
the place to have h1m, next to tha Town Cen1;er. The other
o1"1"ices will contain a dental lab, a real estate o1"1"ice,
a title company and a beauty parlor. II veterinary clinic
would not be compatible.
Councllman Sto!œs asked what his ot1"ice hours would be. He
was told it would be 1"rom 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. And there is
a walkway to the rear entr3nce.

Mayor Finch asked the opinion 01" the City Attoney about the
statement 117 the applicant's attorney that this type of
operatlon does not call for a Use Perœ1t. The Clty Attorney
said the County puts this type 01" operatlon in a C-2 Distriot
and requires a Use Permit. We do not Mve C-2 zoning. This
is a new 1JInovatlon. Th1s is the first time th1s dist1nct1on
has come before th1s city. '!'here is no way to police tMs
thiD8 to .. whether or not ani_Is are kept overn1gt.t. The
C'JUnt7 'Ordinance is based on the n01se !actor. No goods or
products are involved here.
AttOl'lleJ' BaJ'8S asked what the d11't'erencl! is between an animal
grOOlll1ng per10r am a veteriDary cl1nic. The Clty Attorney
said he as-.:l it would be the same d1tterence as between a
barber shop 81111 a doctor's ot't1ce.
:it was the op1n1on 01" the City Attorney that we woul1 need an
Ordinance A--vlment to accept th1s.

thole on tb6 Cupertino side are very well kept up.
Mr. Howard Borne. 20396 C]~tden Way, Cupert1nO, telt thls
..rea should have originaHy ~en zoned 1"or coaaercial. Homes
alcng BolU.nser are very hard to sell. There is lots of
tratt1c and lots of noise. He felt th1s was a natural p:ll. ce
for a professional office.

Mr. Angelcpoulos sald it took longer to sell the home next
doo!' to him, on Gillick Way, than it did homes on Bolliflóer.
Mrs. Juanita Mclaren, 2210l Lindy Lane, said someone has come
in to try to get the highest ane' !:::ø1; use ;;:f this property
and she feels he should be given evel'y c0ru11d~..ation.
Co~~:ilman Fitzgerald said his o1"flce has a 11st1ng for a
ho::;e on Doll1nge:' Rood and thp.y are l1f:ting as one of its
assets the large rumpus room at the rear. This home has been
for sale for some time and they are still try1ng to move 1t
as !'t:sidential.
Mr. Frankl1n said he is '~¡ll1ng tc· go along with "No Parking"
signs along Bollinger. He did not feel the other residential
along Bollinger cc~ld get rezoning becsuse they would not
have the necessary parking spaces. He was reminded th'!.t, at
the Planning ::oam1ssion level, the City Planner had said
that if two houses decided to get together, they would get
the r.e;;:essary park1ng spaces.
Moved by Councilman Noel, seconded by Councilman Fitzgerald,
