..id be is ~""r,,1ng for the public agency only. The large property

1.& far as traf~!c is concerned. }:x". Billawala said we could have

~~Q& you vill hear it ia the pollution and the noise and the

poUutlon, noise and congestioc with his proposal. Councilman Sparks
-u the land cwners in Cupertino are going to have to work together
_ 801ving these probl.s.
~. Bi11aW:1la said a group is bound together with a common cause.
.. _id there ia a moral issue here as well as financial iosue.
.,. .d....g the small property owners to get together, only the big
"-=r-t1 ovners will survive. Councilman Sparks said if you want
~h1Dg more than 4 units per acre the property owners will have
eo set together with a planned development proposal. Councilman
Sparks said thathe is representing and helping the citizeos of Cupertioo.
_ people are telling h1a tbat they want low profile, that there

much core iJoaginative tban the proposal previously presented.
Mayor Irwin c:alled a recess at 9:35 p.m. The meetirig reconvened at
9:55 p....
Mr. Levy, the c:onsultant, ~~Dted to respond to the City Council's
request for information costa.
!for. L"""Y ~"'nt over several broad points directly related to the Highway
~ 9 di~\:ssi.::-.. For the past several years, groups and jurisdictions
have èee~ ¿£:acding this kind of impact information. Part of it is the
enviror~e~talists concern and part is the co~unity learning the economic
possiri:ities open to then. The financial health of a city like Cupertino
is not ë4=~bcJ by expar.dir~ its residential and making the kind of
abUts tho> City is tal",ing about. 'fbe "hole discussion about Senate Bill
90 ar~ the idea of revenue sharing of regional centers has come into play.
~ls is a ?art of an overwhelming national trend. The basic thought of
the discussion that higher density uses along Highway 9 for the financial
health ~f the city is wrong on the basis of the analyses done here.
The traffic cousultant backed up by the traffic consultants from the two
regional centers, statement ~~s that if the City is filled up with its
present c:or.cerc:ial zoning, we would have 12 lanes of traffic along here.
Mr. Levy said the Plannioa Coaamlssion has considered all the information
before t3&k1..,~ these decisions. They looked at a full and a partial
iDdustr1al aad c:ommercial residential mix. They looked at fiscal informatIon
that told them that 1£ there vere parks along HighWay 9, there would
he maintecance c:osts. If it were industrial, there would be a slight
Japac:t but 110 public: aervic:e c:osts. If they strip out all the frontage
64 acres would be worth $350,000. Yhen they looked at the fiscal road coats
they looked at tbe iðea tha~ ebe City would have tò pick up part of the
c:osts of videning Highway 9. The Planning Commission would like to keep
lit at 8 lanes. They..we their decision based on the character of the City,
and what .1x of industrial, c:ommerc:ial and residential tbey would like to

Tbe7 kaev some additional costs would be involved with an assessment
cI1.strlct. When yo)u get to the mixes, Mr. Levy said one of the real
prob~ is implementation, that is, there would have to be some
..lection of the properties.
Hr. Le9)' .aid the City Council bas said the Planning Co=ússion did
DOC CÏDas14er the total Lost of the buffer strip, and did not go into
prec1ae plans. The staff had discussed with the traffic consultant
the cost aDd impact of various treatments of that intersection of
B1¡bw., 9 and Stevens Creek Blvd. He went through the charts that
_n p..sed out, entitled "Traffic Impact from Highway 9 Land Uses".
_II '"Iotal Capital Costs".
Hr. Levy said a one way arrangement on Highway 9 would carry any
g1weD level of traffic and would show some significant improvement
at the three intersections along Highway 9 at Stevens CreeK Blvd.,
Hipay 280 and l1ùc....'stead Road. You ;;ould gel improve¡:¡ent at all
tbree intersect iL'ns ...Hh the one-vay situ,~tien. There wIll probably
be transit by 1995. ~n the other hand, it is som~Jhat questionable
whether High1oo",';: 83 ',Ii 11 be e::tended southerly to lIir.hway 9 and
P.AinbO'J Drive.

the Dir~ctor of Public ~orks explained hew the conputer model worked.
Tbe State coulJ not ~valuate the induced traffic. It vas not
ao¡>hi5ticated en"u~h.
Councilr:an ~Ieyers SJid the 1985 projection shows High.:ay 85 extended
at least to HIga.....y 9. If the freeway is a different d"slgn, he
could see where it wuuld d"crease the 1lighva:; 9 traffic. ~!r. Levy
said it would require whatever lanes that wuuld have been required
originally to i=prove the tr~ffic ~t thre~ intersections.
The Football proposal was presented to t.ltigat" ..orne of the turning
DOve::><>nts and i:oprove the level of service to the intcrsection of
Hi~Alay 9 and Stevens Creek Blvd. A Grade Separation was also reviewed
but found to be too expensive and unacceptable aesthetically.
A f"rther extension of the football was a two-one way c<,uplet between
Ho.estead and Stevens Creek Blvd. which ch.~nged the physical pattern
of tbe Town Center severing a 9-"cre parcel in the Southeast quadrant
of tbe intersection. This altern..tive v¡¡s a!$o found to go through
tbe existing packing plant at Homestead I~oad and Saratoga-Sunnyvale
Road.
With the traffic proj"ctlons we have, it is hard to evaluate now
hoot thi5 would hdp the west side of Highway 9. }Ir. Levy is not sure
