Land Area #1
An area consisting of approximately 18 acres bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Santa
Lucia and Alcalde Road. The properties fronting on the north side of Alcalde
Road between Santa Lucia and Foothill Boulevard are included. The request for
land use element amendment was initiated by the Planning Commission after initiation
of a public hearing to rezone the subject area to be consistent with the General
Plan. A copy of the minutes of the zoning hearing are attached. The General
Plan designates land fronting on the south side of Alcalde Road and the west side
of Foothill Boulevard to McClellan Road for residential with a 4.4 to 7.7 density
range while the balance of the study area be designated residential 0 to 4.4
During the subsequent zoning application (13-Z-75) the Commission requested staff
to consider an amendment to the General Plan to consider a density range which
would allow existing duplex developments within the neighborhood to remain in a
conforming status as opposed to a non -conforming status and to consider a land
use change for the northwest corner of Alcalde Road and Foothill Boulevard. The
staff recommends that the General Plan physical map remain with respect to the
geographical limitation to the 0 to 4.4 and 4.4 to 7.7 density classification with
an overriding statement which permits the existing legally approved duplexes to
C remain in a conforming use status. An exhibit is attached describing the location
of existing vacant land and existing duplex lots. The recommended policy for the
subject area is as follows:
"The land area bounded by Foothill Boulevard/Stevens Canyon Road to the
east, Santa Lucia to the southwest and west, and by Alcalde Road to the
north shall be designated with 0 to 4.4 and 4.4 to 7.7 dwelling units
per gross acre designations as described on the physical land use exhibit.
The existing 1.3 acre commercial site shall remain designated as a
general commercial land use. Existing legally constructed duplexes may
remain in a legal conforming status which would entail the prezoning
of said parcels to a duplex zoning district. The remaining developed
and undeveloped properties within the 0 to 4.4 density range shall be
developed within the constraints of said land use intensity range."
Planning Commission Consensus reached on October75', 1976
Approve land use change as per staff recommendation.

Land Area #3
The request is to redesignate approximately 1.5 acres from an Agricultural/
Recreational land use designation to a residential land use.
The property was evaluated in conjunction with the Stevens Creek Flood Plain
Element to the General Plan. The primary issue involved in the request involves
the degree to which the property is utilized for the operation of the golf course.
From staff's point of view, it is extremely important that the golf course remains
a viable use. The property involved is isolated from the actual playing surface
of the golf course. However, there may, in the future, be a potential use of the
property for ancilliary uses such as golf cart parking or auxiliary parking for
the clubhouse facility. In analyzing the question, it would appear that Deep
Cliff Golf Course does not presently need the land for ancillary uses. It is
suggested that the Planning Commission ask the property owner to give testimony
to that effect during the hearing.
The second issue relates to the natural flood plain. The property is out of
the 100 -year flood frequency event as defined by the Santa Clara Valley Water
District. Since the property is influenced by the Creek environment, it is
suggested that the land use policies adopted in conjunction with residential
land next to the Creek be attached with respect to future development of the
property. An additional concern related to the residential development of
the property is access. There is a possibility of physical access from the
golf course private driveway and McClellan Road next to an existing duplex.
The exact nature of the access will be evaluated in conjunction with a future
zoning application.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the property be designated 0 to 4.4 units per acre subject
to the following policy statements.
1. The residential land use intensity and development pattern shall
reflect the natural character of Stevens Creek environment and
the adjacent residential neighborhood.
Planning Commission Consensus 'reached on October 25, 1976
Approved a change from Agricultural/RecreLtional to a residential land use with a
density range of 0-4.4 dwelling units per acre subject to the following policy
statements:
1. The underlying permitted use of the property shall remain Agricultural/
Recreational.
2. The residential land use intensity and development pattern shall reflect
the natural character of the Stevens Creek environment and adjacent
residential neighborhood.

Land Area #7
The property involved is located northerly of Stevens Creek Boulevard and westerly
of Stevens Creek. The property is contiguous to Varian Park.
The property owner's request is for redesignation of the property from residential
0-4.4 to Public Park. As indicated by the enclosed correspondence, Mrs. Varian's
will contains a provision which may result in public ownership of her Crescent Road
property. The final decision w6uld be made by the trustees of the Varian Foundation.
Mrs. Varian's philanthropy is to be commended. Her property is ideally suited for
park expansion. The property is contiguous to Varian Park and Stevens Creek and
could provide a direct access to the neighborhood park from Stevens Creek Boulevard.
The direct access would be particularly beneficial to residents living within
Oakdell Ranch. The Oakdell residents do not presently have direct access to
Varian Park although a future access through Cupertino Road, to Crescent Road
and Amelia Court will be developed.
It is recommended that Mrs. Varian's request be granted with the understanding
that the underlying use of the property be residential 0-4.4.
Planning Commission Consensus reached on October 25, 1976
Approve land use change as per staff recommendation.
