Highway 9. . Utülomity of design treatlll&n~ should be carried througb

CouDo:UIUn Sparks aclaløvledged that Ð.tenaion of IU.&bvay 85 would
belp relieve the traffic "along Highway 9. Be cannot keep Cupertino
d1vUed by a lo-lane Highway 9. As you move away from Vallco Park.
the intllD8ity diminishes. He said we have the alternative of having
. city for the citizeua of Cuportino or a trade ares for the West
Valley.
The City Manager said the east and west aides of Highway 9 can De
handled independently, He noted there are different kinds of
commcrcial that generate a widely different traffic factor.
Kayor Irwin called a recess at 8:40 p.m. The meeting reconvened
at 9:00 p.l:I.
The Planning Director said the staff has discussed alternates for
81gbway 9. Thère i. a possibility of pulling the propprty ~~ers
together vf.th a plalllled develo llllent. Pros and cons were discussed.
The eco_ic consultant said if the City COUDCll consiclers lIOI1Ie
fI) approach 1rtth .."eral property owners, it should be considered
....tber or DOt It ia lead for the CIty to take over the LU>. Ycu
will p~bably fiDeI the cOSts to the City even for a numberot years,
1a DOt aubstaDdal. All tbe road costs would be ultimately recovered
with the dew.lopDeDt of the property.
The City Attorney said there are two important c.... ¥here the State
Supr_ Court said tlda ia 1...1. A definitive anner should be
obtained frOct Attorney XeD Jones, the Cities Bond CculUlel.
JfIr. Levy auaaested the City take over the pa~ents on the LIiI until
1t 1s decided bow the property ia to be developed. '
CouncilJllan Spara 8UUested a light-industrial development along
the B1gbwy 9 could be handled IIIOre aesthetically than co_rc ial. Over-
all l1ght-induatrial traffic haa peak hours, whereas cODlDerc1äl traffic
could be all day long and weekenda. The I80re cODlDercial you put on.
the laIId the larger the traffic volumes. "
Mayor Irvin proposed adjournment at this time v1th the IlUggestion that
a deciaion be made on the Highway 9 situation at the next meeting.
COuncilman Jackson said he would like to have all the information

Stevens Creek Boulevard, and Beardon Avenue except for resident:l.al ahould
be a ..ix of co_c:l.al and reaidential. He believea a cOl:lllercial-indu.tria:
aix would be more appropriate on the we.t aide of Highway 9. He brought
up the fact that rq:l.ønaloriented commercial must meet the need. of the
region. At the _ tlme, citizens of Cupertino bave these regional needa
