It was moved by Counc. Sorensen, seconded by Counc. Goldman and passed unanimously
to accept the gift.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Szabo announced that Items 21 and 29 (under New Business) would be considered
together.
City Attorney Kilian suggested that Item 29 be considered first. Since there has been an
alternate draft ordinance submitted, Council needs to decide which ordinance to accept
and come back at a future meeting for first reading after he has made technical changes.
29. Discussion of alternative design review process and request for direction.
Mr. Cowan presented the staff report.
It was moved by Counc. Dean and seconded by Counc. Sorensen to approve the staff
recommendation (shifting current ASAC functions to Planning Commission, exploring
possibility of using an AIA volunteer to assist staff with evaluation of complex buildings;
establishing and obtaining approval of criteria for use of volunteer design professionals;
and preparing appropriate ordinance to shift all procedures requiring ASAC review to
Planning Commission review).
Counc. Koppel said that she would like to hear from the members of the Committee who
were present.
Gordon Frolich, 1202 Belknap Court, said he had been appointed to ASAC in January. At
the time of the interviews prior to his appointment he was informed that the Committee
would probably be disbanded. In his opinion, the Planning Commission can handle the
approval functions that would be transferred to them.
4
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
Andrea Harris, 1052 Tuscany, said she too had been appointed in January. The
Committee and the sign subcommittee have worked hard on the sign ordinance revision.
At this point the only reason to keep the Committee intact would be to handle anything
not handled by the ordinance. Ms. Harris said it might be premature to disband ASAC
before we see how the new ordinance will work.
Council by consensus expressed thanks to the Committee for their service to the
community
The motion was passed unanimously.
21. Application No. 81,004.120 and 2-EA-93 - Sign Ordinance revision - Applicant,
City of Cupertino; Location: Citywide. Environmental Determination: The
Planning Commission recommends the granting of a Negative Determination.
Recommended for approval.
(a) First reading of Ordinance No. 1624: "An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Cupertino Amending Title 17, Signs, of the Cupertino
Municipal Code."
(b) First reading of Ordinance No. 1625: "An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Cupertino Amending Chapter 5.16, Garage and Patio Sales,
of the Cupertino Municipal Code."
Mr. Cowan stated that Planner II Robillard staffed ASAC and had worked with the sign
ordinance subcommittee.
Mr. Robillard presented the staff report and answered questions regarding maintenance of
signs. He informed Council that it was a matter of enforcement.
Gordon Frolich presented an alternate sign ordinance. He gave some personal
background and said he has a hobby of making lighted sign displays. He explained that his
initial interest in the sign ordinance occurred when he sought permission to display an
American flag on commercial property on Labor Day in 1992.
Mr. Frolich said that in his ordinance regulations are separated by land use zoning district,
then by type of sign. The one presented by the subcommittee has two separations of sign
types (permanent and temporary), then is separated by land use zoning district, then by
type of sign, then by miscellaneous signs. He also explained the difference in the listing of
sign types. He stated that his ordinance employed consistent use of chapters, sections and
paragraphs; in his opinion, the one the subcommittee prepared does not.
Mr. Frolich said his proposal used consistent terminology, phrases and language
construction, versus "variable" in the committee's version. He also said that he used
5
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
correct spelling, punctuation, grammar and sentence structure, correct word usage,
correct cross referencing to other pertinent chapter number, and simplified versus
cumbersome numerical expression. He cited some examples of each.
Regarding definitions, Mr. Frolich said that all significant terms are defined and are used in
running text according to the sign ordinance definitions. Zoning district nouns are used
instead of alpha-numeric designation which many people do not understand and which
may change or become obsolete. The format is simplified. He provided a listed of specific
difference in the two draft ordinances.
In conclusion, Mr. Frolich stated that the ASAC draft and his alternate draft could not be
blended to produce a synergistic sign ordinance. He stated the opinion that the alternate is
a better document and promotes the intent, purpose and spirit of the sign ordinance. He
said it lends itself more easily to changes in the values or the requirements, whether now
before enactment or later for an annual review. If the alternate draft is adopted, Mr.
Frolich said he would volunteer to edit and correct appendices from the ASAC draft for
inclusion.
Mr. Frolich said that if the ASAC draft is approved, he thanked Council for a valuable
education about sign ordinances.
Mayor Szabo stated that at least three Council members had indicated that they would like
more time to consider the options. Therefore, no decision would be made tonight.
Counc Dean was informed that sign height is measured from the nearest sidewalk. He
saluted Mr. Frolich for his efforts.
When asked if he had made efforts to have the appointed committee incorporate some of
his suggestions, Mr. Frolich said he had made no attempt to go before that committee.
Andrea Harris said there needs to be a validation of the incredible effort expended here.
She said the committee's proposal is a sound document which represents the committee's
agreement. In her opinion, Mr. Frolich's ordinance is not a minority opinion but rather the
work of an individual. She said she is opposed to looking at another ordinance at this
time. Ms. Harris said the committee knew from the beginning that a 4-1 agreement was
the best they could do; 3-2 sounds like a great division, but all tenets of the proposal were
supported by a majority. The document is a compromise, but is a valid effort.
John Statton, Chamber of Commerce Vice President for Business Advocacy, said this
ordinance process is one of compromise between the community and the business
community. The changes contained are long overdue and he urged adoption. The
ordinance as proposed will promote business.
6
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
City Attorney Kilian said the two ordinances are difference in format and assumptions. If
Council continues consideration of both ordinances, he will not be able to start working on
technical changes.
City Manager Brown urged Council not to send the document back for further action by
ASAC.
By consensus, Council continued consideration of this matter to the July 6 meeting.
22. Hearing to adopt the 1993-94 fiscal year operating budget, establish appropriation
limit and approve the granting of a negative declaration for the Five Year Capital
Improvement Program.
a) Resolution No. 8909: "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Cupertino Adopting an Operating and Construction Budget for Fiscal
Year 1993-1994 By Ratifying Estimates of Revenues to be Received in
Each Fund and Appropriating Monies Therefrom for Specified Activities
and Accounts and Setting Forth Conditions of Administering Said Budget."
b) Resolution No. 8910: "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Cupertino Establishing An Appropriation Limit For Fiscal Year 1993-
1994."
City Manager Brown said that the action now is to formally adopt the budget. There has
been extensive study already.
Director of Finance Snyder asked Assistant to the City Manager Brown to present a
report about the appropriation for animal control.
Ms. Brown said that an additional $80,000 has been request. She presented the report.
Following discussion of maintenance of effort, it was moved by Counc. Dean and
seconded by Counc. Koppel to adopt Resolution 8909.
Concern was expessed regarding long-range planning and deficit spending.
City Manager Brown stated that the budget does not represent deficit spending. In fact,
the City is adding to the general fund reserve over time. He cited figures provided by Mr.
Snyder.
The motion was carried with Mayor Szabo dissenting.
It was moved by Counc. Sorensen, seconded by Counc. Goldman and passed unanimously
to adopt Resolution 8910.
7
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
At the request of Counc. Goldman, the figures cited by Mr. Brown were given to the
Deputy City Clerk to be placed in the record.
It was moved by Counc. Goldman, seconded by Counc. Sorensen and passed unanimously
to grant a Negative Declaration for the Five Year Capital Improvement Program.
PLANNING APPLICATIONS
23. Application No. 21-U-89 (modified) - Clarke Rosa - Use permit modification to
extend days of operation to Saturday, to allow retail use and to allow on on-street
parking space. The project is located at 10270 Imperial Avenue. Environmental
Determination: Categorically Exempt. Recommended for approval.
Mr. Cowan presented the staff report.
Ann Anger, Monta Vista, said there are about twelve homes that are affected, six per side.
The builder tried to get the owners to build a cul-de-sac at the time of construction, but
they wouldn't. They must live with the problem now as a result of that decision.
Clarke Rosa, applicant, said he had met with neighbors. His business is not the only
problem in the area. He said they have worked out solutions. The two parking space
deficit can be corrected if the dumpster can be moved. He said he was here to answer
questions.
It was moved by Counc. Dean, seconded by Counc. Goldman and passed unanimously to
approve the application per Planning Commission Resolution No. 4455 and Planning
Commission Minute Order No. 4462.

be formally thanked at a ceremony to be held at the time of the actual presentation.
29. Previously considered (prior to Item 21).
30. Request for approval of the Long Range Master Plan for McClellan Ranch Park
prepared by the McClellan Ranch Ad Hoc Committee.
Mr. Dowling presented the staff's recommendation.
Deborah Jamison, member of the McClellan Ranch Ad Hoc Committee, made a
presentation she said had been inspired while reading the MacintoshReader. She said we
must understand previous technologies and where our basic materials come from. Human
society is dramatically changed by techological advancements. Each century revolutionary
advances in what we can do and how we can do it result from the new tools and machines
which are built. Ms. Jamison talked about what has happened in Cupertino over the last
ten years in computer technology. However, history did not begin in 1983 with the
Macintosh. Cupertino history goes back thousands of years. We are dependent on a
healthy functioning world of nature to sustain us. Without understanding we will destroy
9
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
it. The earth is in crisis. Environmental education is a necessity. Ms. Jamison spoke of
the environmental education opportunities that take place at the Park. She said
Cupertino's nature and history have been mostly obliterated. McClellan Ranch Park is the
one place left dedicated to the source of all our technology and to our past technology.
The Park itself has been neglected and ignored as Cupertino concentrated on other
priorities. The master plan represents an opportunity to re prioritize Cupertino's
commitment to environmental educational recreation and pursuits. Ms. Jamison said she
wrote her remarks on her Powerbook while looking over the Park. He hands were
planted in the present, her eyes looking over the past and her mind lobbying for the future.
She urged Council to let everyone have the opportunity to learn who we are, where we
came from and where we're going. That's what approving this master plan means.
Bobbie Handen, Education Chair for the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, encouraged
Council to approve the plan. She said she had two goals: to save the planet and to save
at risk children. These come together for her at McClellan Ranch Park. Ms. Handen said
she was glad Council had visited the Park and she wished they could have seen it on
Education Day so it could come alive for them. She urged Council to maintain and
enhance it. The Society has had grants to send children to the Baylands. They plan to
start a Young Audubon Society and conduct classes for adults at the Park. They are
open to suggestions for other activities. Ms. Handen said it is exciting to be a part of the
Society's activities and the committee is growing.
Jim Sizemore, resident of the Simms house, described the history of how he came to be at
the residence. He said the residents are all parents trying to get back on their feet. They
expect their roommates to contribute to life, not drag others down. Mr. Sizemore said
shared living isn't easy. Innovative Housing helps make it run smoothly. They provide
counseling for the residents. He asked Council to keep the single parent housing at the
Simms house and under the auspices of Innovative Housing.
Christine Abolandou, who is also a resident at the Simms house, thanked Council and told
of the circumstances leading to her being at the house. At the time she had to find a place
to live. She worked and went to school in Cupertino but could not afford to live here.
Innovative Housing helped. She said the stable environment is great for her son and urged
Council to keep the use of the property as is.
Mr. Dowling said the Committee's report did not address the issue of the time of the lease.
The Parks and Recreation Commission recently recommended renewal of the lease for an
additional three years and then the property would revert to park use.
Bette Perez, Deputy Director of Housing Programs for Innovative Housing, said it was
exciting for her to hear the residents speak. IH has 160 houses. There are nine residents
in this house. Ms. Perez encouraged Council to remember the two tenants who spoke
tonight when making their decision.
10
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
Bill Neagle, 21837 Woodbury Drive, encouraged adoption of the Master Plan. He stated
concerns regarding inconsistencies and said explanatory signs were needed at the park.
His major beef was the composting. When the community compost was to be placed at
the park, park users were upset. Mr. Neagle said even though the gardens were supposed
to be "organic", snail bait was used. Also, while labeled a "natural habitat", gopher traps
(the kind that kill) were used. He suggested a survey of people who don't use the park.
Many people don't even know it's there.
Mr. Neagle said there had been discussion of screening the mobile home. Instead of
screening, move something in that fits. The mobile home doesn't fit. Also, the gardens
are not labeled and are messy. The gardeners should have to keep their areas clean. The
4-H area should be labeled better. He cited the Deer Hollow Park at Rancho San
Antonio. In his opinion, the park should be opened up to others, not just special interest
groups.
Lois Warburton, 11001 Lucky Oak Street, said the Committee has done a great job. She
wished she had been a part of it. She stated that she is a member of the Audubon Society,
the Sierra Club and the City's Affordable Housing Committee. She walks the Park's trails
often. One of her concerns was that if the use of the house were changed to offices, the
parking would change the ecological balance. Trees might need to come down and it
would change the character of that part of the property.
Ms. Warburton said the Simms house residents pay 30% of their income for rent and in
addition perform caretaking duties for the park. This Council is touching the lives of the
people in the Simms house in a personal way. Ms. Warburton urged them to make the
humane decision to keep it as affordable housing. The residents do not harm the
environment.
Howard Johnson, 11560 Alcalde, asked Council to adopt the Master Plan as written. The
plan has flexibility. The Simms house is the only stumbling block. He has called may
people on both sides of the issue and he has concluded that the consensus is that
Cupertino will get "economically diverse" housing (the term he preferred instead of
affordable housing). At that time give the Simms house occupants first opportunity to
move there.
Sue Mirch-Kretschmann, 20568 Blossom Lane, said the knows Ms. Jamison and thanked
her and the other Committee members for their work on the Master Plan. Resources are
becoming limited. She said she also believes in careful, long-term planning. Ms. Mirch-
Kretschmann recommended having the use of the Simms house tied to placing residents in
affordable housing. This would provide an incentive to provide housing in all economic
brackets.
Catherine Sleight, member of the Ad Hoc Committee, said the committee is composed of
several long time community volunteers. All the members understand the need in the
community for low incomg housing. She said their regret is that the City has not been
11
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
able to provide more affordable housing in the two years since the committee was charged
with creating the master plan.. The utilization of the Simms house is not in conformance
with the Municipal Code definition of rural and nature preserve. The plan does not
designate a specific time line for the transition of the house to park related uses. Some
things can be initiated fairly soon if there is a commitment to the plan: the bus cutout,
construction of a bridge across Stevens Creek for integrating the trail, fundraising
activities. Ms. Sleight reiterated there should be a smooth transition. People should be
aware that a large number of people can come through the Park but you wouldn't know
they had been there. Should the Simms house be converted to office space, parking
should not be a big issue. The management planning task force will take all of these
factors into account.
In answer to Council questions regarding the management planning task force and Friends
of McClellan Ranch Park, Lonnie Toensfeldt, member of the Ad Hoc Committee, said the
recommendation included no request for funding. McClellan Ranch Park is the unknown
park. This is partly due to its location, some of it may have been done deliberately. It is
frustrating to see a wonderful and unique property and have limitations on what can be
done there. The work of the Committee is very important and givessome visionof the
park's potential. Current uses aren't perfect. Improvements and enhcancements are
needed.
Ms. Toensfeldt introduced Barbara Banfield, Naturalist, to answer Council's questions
about weeds in the field.
Ms. Banfield said a weed is defined as an unwanted plant. Most of the plants in the field
are not native to the environment. It would be a losing battle to try to eradicate non-
native grasses. She would like to see native grasses re-introduced and some of the present
grasses removed. She said she could see a trail around the perimeter of the field. Ms.
Banfield said even though the Simms property is three acres, if most of the property were
integrated into public use people might be inhibited by the fact that the house is a private
residence. She also said that the basement is not being used now and could be used as a
wet lab.
Mr. Dowling said the next step is to form the master task force and Friends of the Park.
It was moved by Counc. Sorensen and seconded by Counc. Koppel to adopt the long
range master plan for McClellan Ranch Park as recommended by the Parks and Recreation
Commission.
Discussion followed regarding representation on the task force by affordable housing
people, Council's commitment to Friends of the Park, and tying changing the use of the
house to providing other affordable housing.
12
MINUTES OF THE JUNE 21, 1993, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING (CC-862)
Mr. Dowling said the intent is that a decision be made tonight that at some future time the
property will revert to park use. The housing arrangement is interim and not permanent.
The task force will design the transition.
Concern was expressed that other affordable housing programs are not a substitute for the
services provided by the Simms house and that use for offices migth be more intrusive
than the use as a residence.
Mr. Dowling echoed Council's congratulations and thanks to the Committee.
The motion was passed unanimously.
31. Review and approval of the city's investment policy.
Director of Finance Snyder presented staff's report.
It was moved by Counc. Goldman, seconded by Counc. Dean and passed unanimously to

ordinance as submitted.

to approve the amendment to the Municipal Code.
