KINUTES OF THE OCYOBER l2, 1982 CITY COUNCIL KEE'lING
RECESS: 9:55-10:12 p.~.
Upon reconvening, Mayor Gatto stated that the meeting would continue
until midnight at which tt.e Council would adjourn to 7:00 p.m., Tuesday,
October 26, 1982.
Assistant Planning Director Cowan reviewed the s_ry of Planning
eo..ission recoaDendations to Council. Discussion followed regarding
the effect different types of development would have on the City traffic
patterns.
Mayor Gatto reviewed the background of the current General Plan for those
present and requested a general statement from the Councilmembers regarding
the "feel" for c~nitycharacter and other aspects of the City.
Counc. Rogers stated that Cupertino is not like San Francisco, but is
or rural at this point. She felt it was semi-urban which seemed appropriate.
She wished to have the City continue with the same level of service and
not reduced. She stated she was basically in accord with the Planning
Commission recommendations and would like Cupertino to remain a balanced
Community.
Counc. Johnson stated that he was also comfortable with the Planning
Commission recommendati~ns overall. He did have some concern regarding
office vacancy. He felt it might not bc a problem in Vallco and Town
Center, however.
Counc. Plungy also felt the Planning Commission recommendations were
all right. He felt that the anchors of the community were Town Center
and Vallco and that quality building should help keep the vacancy rate
down.
Counc. Sparks stated that he would like Vallco to come up with a specific
plan for review. He would like the Town Center developers to do this
also. He would like to see more emphasis on performance standards and
less emphasis on square footage. He expressed concern regarding the
availability of funds for such improvements as parks.
Mayor Gatto stated that if a city does not grow it dies. The questions
are how much and where. He felt that the commute traffic was the number
one Vroblem facing the City at this time. He felt it was a mistake to
assign specific numbers and force certain types of development. He
also felt that performance standards in some places may be more appropriate
than height of buildings and intensity.
Discussion followed regarding such limitations as FAR or height with the
question being how can one receive a g~arantee of getti~g a sood design.
There was a general agreement that the most reasonable place for a higher
intensity would be Vallco.
