Dear City Council and City Manager,
A violation of our General Plan is about to be made and you need to stop it! The 3 Bateh Brothers parcels located at the
intersection of Stevens Creek Blvd and Foothill Expressway is being allowed to proceed with their plans as an all‐
residential project without requesting the required general plan amendment.
Our General Plan land use designation for this site is COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL. (GP Land Use Map)
Our General Plan also designates this area as a NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERICAL CENTER. (Figure LU‐2)
Our General Plan definition for COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL (Appendix A: Land Use Definitions, page A‐4) states that
“This designation allows primarily commercial uses and secondarily residential uses…”
Our General Plan definition for “NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL (Appendix A: Land Use Definitions, page
A‐4) states that “Residential living units may only be allowed as upper floor uses.”
Our General Plan also says the retention of these centers is part of the “Guiding Principles” in our General Plan (Page LU‐
18) and it states this a big highlighted box:
PAGE LU‐18
REQUEST: Stop the progress of the Bateh Brothers Property development until it comes into compliance with our
General Plan OR obtains a General Plan Amendment authorization. Stop the Environmental Review that is scheduled for
this Thursday because the project is not compliant! How can you review a non‐compliant project???
I’ve attached the relevant sections of our General Plan for your reference.
