He asked Council to keep in mind that there are other interests in town besides Cali and Vallco and to remind them that the core area covers a lot of property along Stevens Creek Boulevard/De Anza Boulevard and asked that the people who have an interest and other small businesses be protected. Tom Legan, President, Cupertino Chamber of Commerce, stated that they had proceeded with the selection of an independent consultant to review the economic and fiscal impact of the proposed Ceneral Plan alternatives. Dr. Roger Mack was selected as the Chamber's consultant. Dr. Mack overviewed l.is findings on the various reports including Questor and the Planning Commission and remarked on the differences in numbers. The general directions were clear throughout but he spoke on revenues and costs, sales tax, budgets, school district financing, industrial costs, property tax base, retail and household sales, traffic and housing g>:owti' issues and police and fire services.

He told Council a written report will be submitted to the Chamber from Dr. Mack and would be forwarded to the City. Mayor Gatto thanked the Chamber for their interest and effort. Wayne Starr, 1356 Primrose Way, spoke on park acquisition and asked that the athletic fields be maintained. David Klingeragain addressed Council saying he had spoken to the City Attorney about the Naylor Bill. It was his understanding there were two types of additive costs to a purchase price for a school site; l. Cost attributable to transferring of students and 2. Recreation in open space. It was moved by Counc. Rogers, seconded by Counc. Johnson and passed unanimously to close the public hear<ng. By consensus Council agreed to the following: . Land Use/Community Character - Retain the existing Ceneral Plan and maintain it and to put in dialogue to allow site-s~ecific review for incremental increases above the existing General Plan and have a serieö 0f criteria which would evaluate the incremental increaöe. It was also suggested that the property be taken out of reserve at Vallco and be given the same density designation. It was also decided that the traffic level remain the same which could allow for growth. The existing trip-ends and land use were agreeable. MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 9, 1982 CITY COUNClL MEETING CC-592-A Page 3 Transportation - Retain tÞe same level with high pri~=.ity on Stevens Creek Boulevard/Saratoga-Sunnyvale and strive to reduce commute traffic on Stelling and other minor collectors.

Tom Legan requested Council postpone any decision to give the Chamber and the public time to digest the discussion. Walter Ward, General Manager of Vallco Park, asked for time to study the existing Gelleral Plan. He said that 50 acres has been undevel- opable and that he heard Council say Vallco land be taken out of reserve with a .33 on industrial. However, there was 12 acres left for the hotel site. His concern was that nothing was said about den- sities along Stevens Creek and the present plan on land uses would not permit the addition of another shopping center or another department store expansion which would mean storcs would go to Valley Fair or Sunnyvale Town Center and it would also mean losing their market super- iority. He could not see, under the present land use plan, how they could put a hotel there because the present General Plan does not provide for one under the existing intensity alternatives. He spoke about credits and asked for clarification and some rules so they would understand if it pertained to all the property or just the 12 acre site. Mayor Gatto replied that it was the intent to take 50 acres o~t of reserve, not to stifle, but to develop and put together any package that was possible and probable and then it could be diøcussed with a possible solution worked out. Barbara Trubell, 10354 Imperial Avenue, Rpoke on sports complexes and their immediate n~ed to the children of the community. She was co~- cerned about. the . discussion on traffic on Stelling Road south of Mc- Clellan and making it a neighborhood street. She suggested possibly De Anza College could cooperate by widening a portion of McClellan between the railroad tracks and Stelling Road and have a center lane for turn traffic which could possibly relieve congestion. cAl2-A P JII" 4 . ¡.'
