Section 1 : Section 16 of Ordinance NS1200, Santa Clara County Zoning Ordinance,
as amended, and Section 3 of Ordinance 200, as amended, are hereby amended to define
the word "family" as follows :
Family: A collective body of any two or more persons living together
in one house as their common home with a single kitchen under one head
or management related to each other by blood, adoption or common
ancestor, or foster children, or living together as man and wife, or
two persons; servants who devote a majority of their time to the house-
hold shall be included. A single person shall fall within the definition.
The unit must be non-profit.
Section 2 : This definition of the word "family" shall prevail over all City
ordinances to the contrary.
Section 3: This ordinance is enacted as an urgency ordinance pursuant to Section
36937 (b) of the Government Code of the State of California. The facts constituting
the urgency are: Single family residences in the City are becoming occupied in more
than one instance by persons related only by club membership, fraternal organizations
or simply a place for transients to reside temporarily at their own whim or caprice;
that complaints have been registered at the City Hall by bona fide families that they
cannot sleep; that the yards are unkept; that such dwellings so occupied cannot be
policed or controlled; that Ordinance No. 220 fails to specifically define the word
"family" and Santa Clara County Zoning Ordinance NS1200, as amended, is not specific
enough.

names of the members voting for or against the same in the Cupertino Courier, a news-
paper published in said County of Santa Clara.
