Hr. George Mangano, 10206 South Portal Avenue, Cupertino, wished to
panue the \Utter of c1ta:l.oDS with the City Attorney. There
foUwec! an excban¡e of ügal opInions. This can be fomd in the
CoÙrt Reporter's tr_cript.
Hr. Leo Michaud. 10408 Sorwandy Court, said it seemed to him those
cledslons were _de _ the fact a person cannot use his property fo
~rc1al purposes. Be does not believe these decisiOl15 were on
clauD zooing. The questloD brought up was haw cOftstitutlonal is
cIawn zcoing. Mayor 1!ViA _end that until the General Plan waa
adopted these are atricclJ' proposals. The City Attorney said the
lIOrd "dow:1-zoning" ..,. be aD 1nappropriate description. Zoning
It..lf is in a daIm-zoa:I.ng in the sense that it is restricting a
plVp8rCJ owner's ri þta.

}he Plalnilll Director reviewed the Sai~å and O1ristl~en properties acroaa
TOIl De Anaa College. The 12-1/2 acres of Saich property is now Planned
n....lop_ftt vith co_rcial œe intended. The O1r1stiansen property north
of the Sa1ch property is R3-2.2 with a density of 16 dwelling units per
acre .
!fr. Levy laid these discussions vill op"n up the question of density. It
Will also 01111 up the question of parks in the city as well as neighborhood
CO-relat activities. At the Planning Couaission level there was some
discussion as to neighborhood commercial on these properties. The Planning
eo..lsaion had planned to go through all the residential decisions and then
~ back .d determine vhich areas need commercial and parks. The red
circles. on the 1964 map shoved existing neighborhood cODlllercial. The blue
ansa are all8ller neighborhood commercial. The recommendation from the
.lcnlng Coaua1on by unanilllOUS vote on the Saich property is that it be
acquired tor park purposes. There was no discussion of co_rcial use on
that property. There is no rationale for commercial use of this property.
the park Vas aelected 011 the basis that the Parks and Recreation ComadSa1011
and the atalf deter.1ned this would be ideal as far as size and locdtion
for a park. The adopte<! standard for co....unity park property lndicates
there is iliad for ...ch IIDre park property in the Clty of Cupertino.
'!be U\rlatitasc plece vas discussed next. When it came down to a question
of diat1ftllliahlng density of residential there were no substantial differ-
sac.a betWlla fiscal and traffic impacts on tract 10 or 12 units to the acre
-'ity lawla. The Planning Comtdssion determined it should be a density
that would be COllpatible with the neighborhood. Some overlay ordinance
~d b. dnftad for zoo1ug for social purposes such as housing for the
elderly, ate. 'l'he Plamina Coaaission decided to work on tbat on an overall
b_ia ratbft than on a parcel by parcel basls.

..,or lIViD liked the idea of the park on this property if the city
coald :fford it. If the _rs have an offer for a II1lUaa dollars
be voaclered if this vas in line v:ith the assessor's evaluation of
the propertY. The Cf.ty A£tomey advised this matter is uncter
litiptian. The fina1 cJet.erllination will come when the property
1.a finally zooed. The City Council should now plan what they would
like to see OQ this property. We will be required by the end of the
year to m:çlify our open space plans. The adoption of a comprehen-
sive General Plan and open space ordinance will be accompanied by a
p:)l1cy f"r ',::¡>lementation. We must take the feasibility factor
into consi~~ration here, but the emphasis at this point should be
OD planni"¡.
The City Attorney answered Councilman Sparks that you must nt)t down-
&aDe a pi~.:~ of property solely because we would like to acquire it
for park ?1.:t¡>oses. In so far as what we are going to have to pay
for the pr~p<!rty it will be the market value of the land at the time
it is pur6ased.
Collllcllac Frolich questioned wether the City Attorney felt it was
appropriate to consicter the alternate for thi.s property in the event
we can't afford to purchase it for a park. The City Attorney said
that at ù1s time he would like to see the City Council go on record
.. indicating what they would like to see on this property.
CoUDcilaa:1 Jackson does Dot see this as anything except residential.
Be sees t!>e Oaks aa the shopping center for that area. He sees the
ne1pborbcod co_rclal in !fcnte Vista. He sees this as· low denalty
zeaiclential west of Stelling Road. He does not see where co_rc1&l
would be caoçatible vith HellOrial Park and De ADza College. He does
DOt vant to see industrial here either. Councilman Jacltaon has
abed -.ot1ons whether this should be a pari< or residential on this
laich property. He does Dot agree that we should bold It for years
œtil we ~ afford to put a p.:¡rk OD it. He said we could show it .
v:ith residential density _d both parties would then be in a positi
to do so.ething with the property. Maybe there should be, for
General Plan purposes, a policy statement or holding zone for a .
8bort period of ti_.

DelD.za college site. The tax; ,"¡!en forfeited the revenue frail these 12
aczea when the college said, they needed additional parking. The Board of
y~~ had no objection to ~rd.al across the street at that time.
!Igor Irwin said !lis first choice here would be for a park en the standpoint
rñ p>od city pla:>ning. The Planning Director answered th.· Uayor that the
(;lenbrook coltplex 3CroSZ from Flint Center has 16 units pc,. acre. There
a%e also 7,500 s~""re foot and 10,000 square foot single family C:..·,elopment

eo-Ission is f~:" ;)r asainst co_rcial here. He for one would like to
__ a park her", ""d four to ten units per acre residential as an alternate.
'Jr. Berman Christiansen, 801 American Street, San Carlos, said at the time
tky came before the Planning COIE!I1ssioa and City Council in late 1969
~ we're only a:.le to purchase two acres from the Saich family. Because
of åat there ,:as !>een no serious consideration of d"velopment on that
paoperty since t..""". In the aiddl.. <:If 1969 there was some discussion about
tTad1ng properties in order to develop a lar<.;er complex. You can nave all
sortS of densities and the Avery complex at 16 units per acre is an excellent
~le. Villa Serra is also 16 units per acre. Density alone is not going
co parantee quality.
Jir. Levy said the Planning C~sion distinguished among densities. If you
~ate v<-='j 1IUC:h froll a pattern there bas to be strong criteria for this
oIewiatloa. The Planning eo-1ssiOl1 did not want to see everything developed
16 gñts per act<! in this area. ,
Jlllyor Irwin said this adpt be a OOd place for college students to live.
. ~d have to go along with the Placning CQlllllÜssion decision of 4 to 10

to designate t:'is as city pa:rk for a long period of time. This may
bave some effect on the outcome of the be~¿ issue. However, it
would be a g~d park site. If this does ,,~t reach fruiti= il

City COu:l~il to get out of tD1.S social p"t?OSe thing. There are
zany facdlies who would do with one less automobile if there vere
public trr.s¡:ortation. He said 4 to 10 <::lits per acre residential

for the Ite,ùth of the peopla. He s"id the govern_nt should not restrict
c~t1tion. Thera 1a the question of moral and lepl responsibility 1n
these decisions.
Councilaan Frolich said hIstorically it has been proven that zoning is
necessary. It is a self-defeating argument that if we leave the co~rcial
zoning th~re and let t~e open mar~et decide on coa.ercial development this
will solve pldnning probl.... Mr. Billawalla answered that the city now

just adopt an open door policy and just hope it will come out all right.
1i.e City Attorney said the 1_ in its way tries to reach a morally good
conclusion with respect to designation of open space, parks, etc. He
thinks ~~ should defer any definitiv~ consensus action on this. At this

see some '~nsity deviation if perforcance or design standards in the policy

surplus of co_rclal in the city. Th~ question can up whether we are
leaving out s.ee uses that tight come u? in the future.
Councilman S?arks asked Mr. Levy if tnnsit would be facilitated if we had
this site as cOIIIIDI!rcial. Mr. Levy answered transit would be desirable
along Stewns Creek Bouleyare!. He does not thinÍ< we will want to create

HI1IU!ES OF THE SEPTEHBER 19, 1973 ADJOURNED CITY OOüNCIL MEETING
SUI A1IEA I
Hr. I.n1 said the 1'1CD1Da eow.issiOll elisc_sed densities 011 the
'a.dsti_- property. Mr. HeRm Olr1atlmsen said he 18 OM of
the _eø of the property adjacent to the Saleh property. He said
this property vas ¡niRbased in 1969 for $36,000 for the purpose of
conatructiaa 16 UD1tA1 pel' acre adult co-m.ty. 7bey have ded1cated
l..d ..d purchaSed IÞODds for street i...roV\<IIII!Dt as _11 as payiaa
t_ 011 the property.
J'ualta McLaren, 22101 Lindy Lane, Cupertino, realtor, said she is
DOt involved In this property in any way. She said due to the loca-
tion of this property 16 units per acre would not be too high a
cleDsity. CouncillDSD .Jackson said the type of community we are
envisiooing is low density. The Planning Commission recolIIIII!nded
4 to 10 units per acre and he feels this is more in keeping with
the area. He sees nO reason for increasing the density. We are
talking about the balance of types of residential. Hayor Irwin
said if we were to raise all pre3ently designated 4 to 10 units
an acre up to 16 units an acre that would raise considerably our
u1ti~2te population.
Hr. C1ristiansen said that 4 to 10 units an aerc precludes apartment..
This ...ill limit the development to some type of cluster or townhouse.
Be ...culd then ha~e to think about selling the prODerty because he is
not i:t business of construc,ting single family homes.
Judy Cooper, 21906 Hyannisport Dr., Cupertino, said she has been con
cerne¿ about this piece of property for some time novo She feels it
1s L' ideal locdtion for a co~l~x for the elderly since it is close
to services and wi thin the rcutes ior transit. She would most like
to See the allot~nt for a higher density on this piece should it
_at these kinds of social needs. She would also like to have lower
incoce housing considered for th~s property.
Councilman Jackson said this Council has stated they would be inter-
ested in higher density for these social goals. lie would like to
keep the 4 to 10 units per acre density on this property with the
acco"l'anying policy statem<>nt regarding socicl goals. He said he
vas not sure this alone is the area where he would like to consider
this type of develop....nt. Where it would be would depend to some
extent on the flexibility of the oarket.
Hr. Fitzgerald said he feels morally involved here. He said a
llillion homes were built under "235" and "236". One fourth of
the. are nO" under foreclosure. They arc selling them in bunches
of ten and twenty just to get rid of them. There is no more money
for "235" and "236". He sees n"t~ing on the horizon for Cupertino
to build low incoue housing. ~r. Fitzgerald says he disagrees with
ColØlcilman Frolich's statemeont about the possibil i ty of developrent
of anythln¡ haphazardly in Cupertino.

Council that a court reporter is ess8Ltial. There have been many hearin&s
011 thia because if affecta 80 many people.
Councilman Jackson feela strongly about the democratic process. He feels
that what he and the other councilmen are trying to do will reflect the
will of the people, DOt just one faction. If this communIty develops the
way it is going it is DOt going to t'~rn out the way any of us want it to.
Counciloan Frolich says he certainly has other thinga to do besides put in
all these hcurs here. He is here for one reason and that is to see this
thing through. the question has been raist'd as to what has changed here.
There are a number of re:aarkable change~. We have beco:!:e conscious we
cannot keep stuffing people into this county without affecting those
already there. Pollution has gotten much ~~rse. The State has mandated
new areas that we must look into. This has led to ey.tra expenses and to
the moratorium. We will have to get econemic inpats soon just a8 ve now have

the effect of property tax on financing. It is a fact of life today, although
he feels it cay change in the future. The General Plan review will go
back to the Planning CQC:lission with the Council's rt!Co=r.,Jation. A
decision needs to be made by the Council by the end of this year. He does
not think he can make a decision on the d~nsity for this piece of property
before making a decision on the large parcel nearby. He does not think he vcul~
bave too much trouble agreeing to 16 unjts per acre on this parcel, but we
need first to study the 1npact on the overall area.
,Cou.,cilman Frolich said Hr. Christiansen bas indicated the kind of quality
i development he wants to build . To do this we might V8nt to consider higher
densityand restrict to ace and two bedroom units rather than 3 and 4 bed-
rooDls. The restrictions =ould be the number of dwellir~ units and the
number of bedrooms in the entIre project. lie \IOuld like to haole tite staff
explore that possibility. He said one of the thing9 he ~'nts to get a
h.¡ndle on is the total _ber of people \Ie will want to house in this
area.
