Jennifer Griffin expressed her concern that the vacation of Finch Avenue would be
determined before an EIR is completed or permits for Main Street have been pulled. She said
that she felt Main Street and the vacation of Finch Avenue should be separate items.
Director of Public Works Timm Borden said that the vacation would not be approved until
Main Street is approved and that Council is only setting May 1 as the date for a public
hearing to coincide with the hearing regarding Main Street.
Wong moved and Mahoney seconded to adopt Resolution No. 12-029 as amended with the
correct hearing date of May 1. The motion carr:.ed unanimously.

ORDINANCES AND ACTION ITEMS
13. Subject: Annual Status report of the General Plan and Housing Element
Recommended Action: Approve for submission to the California Department of Housing &
Community Development(HCD)by April 1, 2012
Description: Review of the General Plan progress and program implementation as required
by State Law
Community Development Director Aarti Shrivastava reviewed the staff report.
Jennifer Griffin said that developments such as Main Street, Biltmore, Rose Bowl, Apple,
and the IHOP development are coming up. She noted that the General Plan says the City
can't approve additional housing if road intersections can't maintain above a D grade level of
service. She said she is concerned that Stevens Creek Blvd. will take the brunt of the traffic
with these new developments. She urged Council to take a look at this when approving the
projects.
Shrivastava explained that the General Plan does talk about maintaining a level of service D
for all intersections. She said that this will be looked at during the environmental review of
the projects. She noted that the City will review and get a chance to provide comments
regarding the IHOP development, but since L's in a different city, they can only comment.
She said that staff would make sure that none of Cupertino's intersections would be impacted
above level service D when the projects are approved.
Wong moved and Mahoney seconded to approve the submission of the General Plan and
Housing Element annual status report. The motion carried unanimously.
