.... Page -2- ERC Juno 9, 1994
Currently under state law small family day care centers, I to 6 children, are allowed in
all residential zones. Proposed ar~ large family (7 to 12 children) day car~ homes.
Excluded are multi-family, R3 or R1C or PD zones. Day care is generally easier to
place in residential homes and at less cost. Four areas to be reviewed are I.
Concentration, 2. Parking, 3. Traffic and 4. Noise. Of these four, all but parking
environmentally related. Proposed for concentration would be a 300 1~. separation
between uses. Traffic would generate very little impact. It would not be significant.
The noise issue would be referred to the municipal code. We would expect compliance
within the noise ordinance. A negative declaration is recommended. So moved by Don
Brown, seconded by Paul Roberts and passed 5-0.

4. Review of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center EIR - Santa Clara
Ciddy Wordeil passed out literature on the proposed Kaiser facility. They are circulating
an EIR with a deadline to comment by July I. Staffwill provide comments. This
is a 53 acre parcel on the corner of Homestead and Lawrence Expressway. Our focus
· will be with traffic. None oftbe project will be in Cupertino. Glenn Grigg gave a
summary on traffic. They have come to some incorrect conclusions, according to Glenn,
by using the wrong number of traffic lanes. He feels the traffic section should be
redone. We also want to make sure there is adequate parking so it does not spill over
into our neighborhoods. Bob also wants to see them design the site to allow for a
possible future highway interchange. These suggestions will be taken to the meeting
with Santa Clara staff.
