Report for the

Consideration of the draft Environmental Impact
pro¡>;,sed aMnd8ent to the General Plan Land Use
I Are3.
¡The P1=1ng Director Infoned the Council that Dr. Myronuk and Hr. Levy,
,the Air and Noise Consultant, were present to discuss the EIR.
~r. Le,,· said we ha_ been working on the General Plan for l~ years now:
i(1) ta~ ~ore area, (2) tne foothill area, (3) the remainder of the valley
¡floor ::.~t in the core area. The Environmental C01III!Iittee determined the
¡Core .'~ea could have a sIgnificant effect on tne Environœnt and therefore
:requir~d an Environ:llental Impact Report, "hich should point out areas of
¡impact, ;:<:'W to altipte t!1e Impact and alternatives. Tnis report was
prepar~¿ !>y the Institute, the staff and Dr. Myre>nuk. Traffic and traffic
;related i::l¡>act were _jor ru.tters of discussion of the General Plan.
:Cupert'''~ has much through traffic and the land uses will produce additional
ItrafH~. Regional shopping center was cut from four to two new stoces. Some
of th~ d..,'elopment in Vallco Park was tied to new traffic carrying devices.

Bipay 9 traffic will be Uld.ted to 8 lanes and there win b. DO
.ore than 8 lanes on St..,.. Creek Boulevard.
1Ir. Levy said another i~ 1111(1act is the cost to the uxpa7er.
(1) Beca_ the plan indndoO. Oe regional center, it was felt the
project will have no 1181&1:1- :bpact and (2) there were no IODg run
problellØ in providing services for the core area.
Dr. Myron.... suœoar1zed his report on air quality and noise levels
associated .....ith the develo,.mat of the core area. The ..jar source
of air quality is traffic. Be said the air quality sectiOD looks !
at what t!tere is nov and what La projected. In terms of the over- I
view the e::issions froll the aato.obile are so much greater titan :
other sour.:". :>ew cars are designed to have lower emissions. He i
believes i::. ge:leral these em-. ions will decrease except for sulphur
oxide. Dr. ~'yronult said _ are looking at catalytic mufflers which
ruy be a s","r.:e of sulpbatea.
Dr. Myr('n"" Hid w will p,g _re particulates into the air as we
change fr",::. agriculture to urbanizati~. In terms of the overall
picture ~e ~i:: increase the average temperature and visiòility
will be re:i~.:ed due to the Increased rough"e~~ in the ai r; we will
not swee? ::~e air clean as readily. We will ha\·e to start cantrall';'
Lng traf!~.: ,.:terns and we _t look to other meanS of tra:¡sIt.
It was Dr. ~'r~nuk's opinion ~~at l,~ering the s¡teed of automobiles
will not :.-..·:e "'"1 effect on ¡tollution although it will have an efíe.::t
on fuel .....::.s·=ed.
By 1980-1~~: ~. will be well below the noise levels of today. In
the imcedi..:. :utule we will see an increase in con~truction noise.
etc. but t~,is will not proc!tõC8 adverse ef:e.:ts.
Councill:l8:: :~:lich said he could see that high rise buildings In
large ci:ies =:~~t havo an e!fect on wind ~elocity, etc. He asked
about the e::è.:t Curertino will have witn its three and four story
buildings .....:::. ::uc¡' open space. Dr. :lyronuö; said the flow of air
over grass. :reps and shrubs is quite dlf ¡"rent than ai r around
buildings. :: you change tOe character "f :he ground itself from
rural to s~~~3n you will tr.nd to slow the winds down and decrease
the disper5"~~ le,~l. Councilman Frolich as~~d if it would be
possible t'" ~.xs:ruct a cOllp<lter model tecnniC¡lIe to do so"",thing
with desig:: ~~~ ~lacement of buildings, ctc. to mitigate these
