PUBLIC HEARINGS
.
22. Appeal of Planning Director's decision to deny a variance to allow a 7 ft. second
story sideyard setback instead of approximately 10ft., as required for single
family residential zones (Application No. 3-V-94 - Roy and Yvonne Hampton).
The property is located at 21821 Oakview.
The Community Development Director reviewed the staff report and said that he
denied the application because he could not meet the findings A and B as
specified in the staff report. Mayor Koppel opened the public hearing.
.
Mr. Roy Hampton, the appellant, asked Council to give the Planning Director
more flexibility. Mr. Hampton showed transparencies of the plot plan and said
that they were no longer requesting the second addition, but they still wanted to
build an addition over the garage. Mr. Hampton reviewed a series of
transparencies and said that a ten foot setback would create a strange architectura1
look. Mr. Hampton said the variance was exceptional because (I) The building
was built with smail side setbacks on a quarter acre lot in 1955 before the City's
current requirements; (2) The existing fence and second story addition was
granted by the county variance approving the side setbacks before the city
annexation; (3) The requested variance is compatible with previous additions and
with the county; (4) The only reason the addition is not extending further was to
avoid changes to the chimney; (5) The proposed second story addition will rectify
the unsightly chimney problem as well as complete the originally planned
addition. He showed a color photograph with the chimney section. He said the
proposed extension would not greatly increase the house's visual impact but
would improve the house's appearance by removing the existing unsightly
chimney extension and making it stronger than an addition with a three foot jog.
He showed copies of several petitions which had been signed by his neighbors in
.'
]uly S, \994
Cupertino City Counci\
Page 5
support of his request. Mr. Hampton said that no other viable options were found
which would provide the desired second story 100m while still addressing the
chimney problem
Mrs. Yvonne Hampton explained their plans for the sewing room, dinette, and
kitchen areas and the competition for floor space because of the number of family
members sharing the home.
Mayor Koppel said the house would be much more aesthetically pleasing if
Council supported the variance, and although staff and Planning Commission
have to go by the Council's guidelines, Council may always overrule them.
Counc. Sorensen agreed.
Counc. Burnett said the deciding factors for him were the structura1 considerations
and granting the variance would make this a stronger house.
The Community Development Director said that this is the kind of decision which
must be made by City Council, but he agreed that it was an acceptable
modification.
It was moved by Counc. Sorensen, seconded by Counc. Dean, and carried
unanimously to adopt the Resolution No. 9143, as shown by the model resolution
provided on page 6 of the staff report, granting the variance to allow a 7 foot
second-story sideyard setback.
23. Appeal of Planning Commi!<"ion decision regarding Applir.ation No. S-U-94 filed
by Landmark Development Corporation (Lawrence Guy). The application
requests a use permit to construct six townhomes on an 11,761 sq. ft. parcel in a
Planned Development residential zoning district located at Gardenside Circle and
Rainbow Drive. (Continued from June 20, 1994.)
The Community Development Director reviewed the staff report. Counc. Burnett
said he was concerned about overbuilding, yet the city is asking for more units on
this site. Mayor Koppel opened the public hearing.
Mr. Lawrence Guy, representing Landmark Development Corporation, displayed
transparencies and distributed copies. They included elevations from Rainbow
Drive, vicinity maps, a diagram of existing easements, and a survey of parking
requirements in Santa Clara County municipalities.
Mr. Guy explained that the origina1 development was part of the third phase of the
Gardenside Development, for which they got credit for 20 to 30 units per acre
which would result in a ten to twenty units per acre requirement on this parcel.
Then the plans were changed regarding ingress and egress on Rainbow and the
utility easements were established. Consequently, part of this property is very
July 5, 1994
Cupertino City Council
Page 6
.
restricted because of the utility easements on the west side. Mr. Guy discussed
the unit size and garage size tòr this proposed development and said they would
be very similar to Gardenside Townhomes although the prices will be less. He
said that staff suggested ten to eleven units but becaJI5e of the utility easement
rernctions. it would require underground parking and sma1I decks instead of the
large yards that are currently proposed.
Counc. Bautista asked why it was not economically feasible to place more units
on the property. Mr. Guy explained that it would require a parking structure and
smaller, 800 square-foot units, and the market price for those is under $190,000.
The cost would be over $1,000,000 in structure and there were not enough
economies of scale. An apartment or air-space condo might just break even, but
townhomes and houses are better accepted by the public.
The Community Development Director clarified that eight units would be in the
density range of up to twenty units per acre. Mr. Guy said the original plans were
for three units, then they changed them to four, then to six. The Community
Development Director said that having only four units on the property will be
inconsistent with the General Plan.
.
Counc. Dean said this is a classic example of a developer coming with a
particular proposal and the City trying to force more. He said he did not share
that ambition, that this site is on a road that serves as fteeway on-ramp, and he
could not support six units on the property.
Coone. Burnett said it is a difficult choice b«-"\'5e the General Plan asks for
twenty units and the only way to get those would be to deny the appea1 and
increase the number of units.
Counc. Sorensen said that she could support four or five units on the property and
that the City's parking standards need to be reviewed as soon as possible.
Counc. Bautista said that he would favor six or less. If five or four units were
consistent with phase I and 2 of the Gardenside Development, that would
probably be the best measurement since they are architecturally compatible. He
said that this would set a precedcnt as to how Council wants this neighborhood to
look.
Counc. Burnett said this is about as suitable a place for apartments as any location
that there is in the City, and he didn't know where there would find a location for
any more apartments unless they started now. He was in favor of denying the
appeal.
.
There was no other public testimony and the public hearing was closed.

.
The City Attorney said that there was a determination made by the Pl8lìlÙDg
Commission as well as by the Director of Community Developmeot that the
project is inconsistent with the General Plan. If Council decided to approve the
project. they must make either findings that somehow it is consistent with the
General Plan or send it back for a General Plan Amendment, either in the general
area or for this particular property.
Counc. Bautista said the next lowest density designation would be ten to twenty
units per acre and that would allow four, five, or six units to be constructed and
still be in compliance with the General Plan.
Mayor Koppel said that if this item goes back to the Planning Commission and is
designated for four units, they haven't gained anything. The City's Housing
Element was just approved and sometime Council would have to bite the bullet.
Counc. Dean said that he did not agree with the numbers used by the State in their
calculations.
Counc. Bautista pointed out that it is currently an empty lot aad it may remain SO
if it is not economically feasible to go with the higher density. Therefore, it is in
the city's best interest to proceed with lower density on that site.
.
It was moved by Counc. Dean, !JeCOnded by Counc. Sorensen, and carried with
Counc. Koppel and Burnett voting no to refer this item back to the Planning
Commission with direction to consider a General Plan amendment which would
designate this site for 10-20 units per acre.
The Community Devt"iopment Director noted that State law allows only four
Genera1 Plan amendments per year, and he would report back to the Council on
how many had been passed to date. It was possible that this item would be the
fourth, and any further Genera1 Plan amendments for the year would have to be
postponed.
24.
Application Nos. 80,052.2 and 100EA-94 - City of Cupertino. First reading of
Ordinance No. 1657: "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City ofCupertioo
Adding Chapter _ to Title 19 and Amending Various Sections of Title 19,
Zoning, of the Cupertino Municipal Code, Regulation of Day Care Homes,"
including prescriptive requirements ~or large family day care homes. The
Planning Commission recommends the granting of Negative Declaration.
Recommended for approval.
.
The Community Development Director reviewed the staff report and suggested
that Council consider allowing an administrative permit process to bypass the
requirement for a public hearing. The permit would be a type of sign-off sheet
July S, \994
Cupertino City Council

t
and it would allow the planning department to map out the locations of all of the
day care centers, so that they can investigate any issues regarding proximity. He
also corrected page 3 of the staff report to indicate that the Section 19.100 was
missing some text.
Mayor Koppel opened the public hearing. No one wished to speak, and the public
hearing was closed. It was moved by Coone. Dean, seconded by Counc.
Sorensen, and carried unanimously to continue this item for first reading, so that
the corrections could be included as well as the section about an administraûve
pennit.
25. Applicaûon Nos. 81,156 and 9-EA-94 - City of Cupertino - Amendments to
various sections of Chapter 19.40, Residential Hillside Zones, of the Cupertino
Munici!'al Code, regulations for flat yard area, second story off-sets and house
sizes. The Planning Commission recommends the granting of Negative
Declaration. Recommended for approval.
(a) First reading of Ordinance No. 1658: "An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Cupertino Amending Chapter 19.40, Residential Hillside
Zones, of the Cupertino Municipal Code."
.
Planner Tom Robillard reviewed the statfreport and indicated that this was the
appropriate item under which to discuss the topic of animal regulation. He noted
a correction to page 2, paragraph 2 of the staff report which should be amended to
say that "Woodside's fonnula is much easier to understand and calculate and has
a maximum size limit of 6,500 sq. ft. for the house." He explained that the
Planning Commission had taken action on this item before hearing input fÌ'Om
individuals concerned about restrictions on animals. Therefore, the Planning
Commission by minute order reqUC!Jted that the City Council consider additional
flexibility in the RHS zoning district for the preservation of historic agricultura1
uses and life styles with an exemption for additional animals raised for a limited
period of time for educational PUIpO$CS. He added that the Planning Commission
had also suggested that the 6,500 sq. ft. maximum house size be lowered to 5,000
sq. ft. That would mean that any reque!Jt for a house larger than 5,000 sq. ft.
would need to go to City Council for fmaI approval.
Mayor Koppel said that people can be very creative and that Council is assuming
everything built would be visible fÌ'Om the valley floor. She did not want to
dictate house size. Mayor Koppel opened the public hearing.
.
Mable Jane Riley, a resident ofRegnart Canyon, said that she and her animals had
been active in 4H and petting zoos for children, and she was in favor of being able
to keep animals of all varieties.

·
Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, 11331 Bubb Road, objected to a residential
designation for Regnart Canyon.
Ms. Christine Pierce, 21869 Gardenview Lane, spoke of the need to preserve the
natural environment and to preserve' the values that come from living off the land.
She suggested that the Planning Commissioners meet with property owners in
Regnart Canyon and any other interested individuals to look at the issues
associated with Regnart Canyon and find a way to maintain its agricultural use.
The Community Development Director said that some people seem to think that
this proposal would create additional restrictions. He showed a map of the
existing zoning in Regnart Canyon and explained that there only a few properties
zoned agricultural. The proposal tonight is to return the item to the Commission
to lessen the requirements for the RHS zone and rezone everything to RHS, which
will be less restrictive than it is now.
Lonnie Toensfeldt, 21640 Fitzgerald Drive, said she was a very strong advocate of
youth education using anima1s. She asked why it was necessary to change the
zoning. If the purpose is to protect the hillsides, why is it necessary to restrict
animals? It would have a major impact on the lifestyles of those who chose to
live in Regnart Canyon.
·
The Community Development Director reminded Council that the testimony
~ing heard tonight was not available to the Planning Commission at the time
they made their decision on this draft ordinance. He added that the Planning
Commission did want to make the zoning more accommodating to people who
wanted to keep animals.
Counc. Sorensen said that she did want to send the matter back to the Planning
Commission for discussion of the animal issue.
Mr. Jolm Coogler, 22245 Canyon View Drive, said that there had been no
interaction with the people that live in the Regnart Canyon area and he felt that
the 5000 sq. ft. limit on house size was an arbitrary figure. He said he did not
support changing the regulations as they now stand.
Rande Harris, 1040 Chula Vista Terrace , Sunnyvale, said that her parents bad
encountered many rezoning problems since 1965 and every time something was
rezoned it would create additional problems. The properties got zoned into
smaller and smaller parcels until everything was residential and there were no
large pieces of property left.
·
Trevor Garliepp, 11690 Regnart Canyon Road, read a letter from his father, Jolm
Garliepp. The letter said that agriculture was an integral part of the canyon and
should not be discontinued. Although the commission discussed grandfathering
July 5, 1994
Cupertino City Council
Page 10
J
clauses which would allow agriculture uses to pass through to new owners, there
are some properties which used to have five horses and now can only have three.
The pre$ent zoning ~hould be retained.
Barbara Black expressed concern about the purpo$e behind the rezoning and
agreed with the suggestion for the formation of a committee composed of canyon
residents.
James Black, 11691 Regnart Canyon Drive, said he agreed with most of the
comments made by the speakers. He agreed with the request to send the item
back to the Planning Commission and to form a committee of Canyon residents.
.
Tom Winegar said he was vehemently opposed to zoning out agricultural uses.
He distributed to the Council Members a folder containing photographs of the
hillside area, a document titled, "Citizens Response to Ordinance No. 1658,
Residential Hillside Zones," and an excerpt from the land use chapter of the
Cupertino General Plan. He showed a ser:es of slides of the hillside areas in
Saratoga, Cupertino and other communities, and said that agriculture was the
basis for the local fauna. He said that the use of open space was still experimental
and that it would be much easier to maintain some of the mountain properties if
more agriculture were allowed rather than the residents growing dry grass. He
discussed the potential for mismanagement of open space areas.
Jeanne Haggerty, 20362 Glasgow Drive, Saratoga, was opposed to rezoning
Regnart Canyon because it was one of the few remaining areas where children
could live and rai$e animals.
Regina Matthews, 2210 Villanova Road, San Jo!Je, said that she grew up in the
Los Angeles area, which !Jtarted out much like Cupertino. The problems began
with rezoning and the character changed so much that she would no longer live
there.
Mario G1I7man, 11680 Regnart Canyon Drive, said the entire area should Ix'
zoned agricultural bec..nuo it is a fire hazard and it would be an incentive for
people to grow something other than grass. He said that he resented the Plannil'lg
Commission reducing his way oflife or quality oflife into graphs and charts, and
that their role was to improve the quality of life.
Chris Martinez, 11311 Bubb Road, said that she was an animal caretaker in the
area and agreed with most of the comments made tonight. She said the Canyon
residents committee was a good idea.
.
May Koski, 22030 Regnart Road, said she chose to live in Regnart Canyon
because of the rura1 atmosphere. She said that animals get lonely if kept singly
and that should be considered when the zoning laws are established. When

including grandfather clauses, it is important not to change the number of horses
previously allowed. She supported the idea of rezoning ûom RI to RHS if that
would allow them to have more animals.
Beverly Wmegar, 11741 Regnart Canyon Drive, introduced her daughter and her
mend who displayed a 4H flag. She said that she had pur .:based her property for
the agricultura1 rating. She felt it would be unconstitutional to have that rating
changed without her agreement
Man:ella Mahon said that she was neutral on these issues. She was in favor of
rezoning but supported the idea of the Canyon residents committee to work on the
rezoning. She said it should not change the country look, and some things need to
be kept the same.
Robert Bigler said that it was not necessary to limit houses to 5,000 sq. ft.,
especially on the larger size parcels, because building restrictions no longer allow
large, boxy houses. The property owner!J have earned the right to build a house
the size they want and that shouldn't be taken away. He said that even if the RHS
zoning were written to relieve properties ûom some of the restrictions, when
those restrictions were enforced they would still be more stringent than the current
situation. which has not been enforced at all.
,
It was moved by Counc. Dean, seconded by Mayor Koppel and carried
unanimously to (I) Continue this item to the Council meeting of September 19,
1994; (2) Keep this item with Item No. 26 ( regarding rezoning of hillside
properties in Regnart Canyon); and (3) S~nd the item back to the plannil1g
Commi...'¡on in order that they might meet with staff and a committee composed
ofRegnart Canyon residents to discuss appropriate zoning. more leniency
regarding agriculture, livestock, and pets, and to discuss minimum house size.
The City Attorney said a good deal of agriculture Í$ allowed in the RHS zone as it
stands or as it is amended. The A zone historically was intended to regulate daily
farms, huge agriculture type activities. It would !JeeID appropriate that the e:rtire
area be zoned one zone to regulate tho$e types of things Council wished to
regulate. They could change the RHS zone to allow many things normally
allowed in agriculture zones. The citizens should be aware that these terms can be
defined and regulated to accomplish everyone's purposes.
Mayor Koppel said that she did not support the 5,000 sq. ft. limit on the house
size and that limit should be addressed by the committee.
