Kee reported that this is the last area in the San Tomas Area to be con- sidered at Council's directive to bring the zoning into conformance with the General Plan.

Chairman Kotowski declared the public hearing open on Discussion Area 1, and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Lee Peterson; 1156 Audrey Ave., questioned the reasoning for recommending a 10,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size in this area noting that the average lot size in his area is 12,000-15,000 sq.ft. A4r. Kee noted that it would be inappropriate planning procedure to spot zone several different parcels within one area, and that Staff is recommending the 10,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size as an overall figure.

Woodworth indicated that there are approximately 7-10 lots under 10,000 sq.ft. Air. Woodworth reviewed Discussion Area 2, noting that Staff is recommending a 10,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size in this area and that there is not consistent lot size for parcels in this area--lots range in size from 6,000 sq.ft. to almost 2 acres. Chairman Kotowski declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak on Discussion Area 2. 'sir. Rich Darrill, 1593 Hacienda Ave., asked why the City didn't recommend a 9,000 sq.ft. minimum lot instead of the 10,000 sq.ft. lots. Chairman Kotowski noted that the City could not have a hodgepodge of different zoning because there would be a code enforcement problem. b1r. Kee stated that as a result of the hearings in the San Tomas Area there was a very strong indication that the residents desired larger minimtun lot sizes. There were seven public hearings, including the City Council hearing, for this area. The General Plan has been changed, and it is now time to change the zoning in order that it will conform with the General Plan. bir. Kee added that it is not the intent of the City to preclude subdivisions. ALs. Faye Isaak, 22831 Hutchinson, Los Gatos, spoke in opposition to the pro- . posed rezoning of the San Tomas Area and stated that the area is appropriate for higher density, and to change the zoning now would make it confusing for those who wanted to develop their property. Mr. Hollis Button, 1025 W. Parr Ave., spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning. No one else wishing to speak on this area, it was moved by Commissioner Howard, and seconded by Commissioner Meyer, that the public hearing be closed on Discussion Area 2. Motlon carried unanimously (5-0-2). -4- Discussion Commissioner Howard stated that in looking over Discussion Area 2, that the 10,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size seems a little large, and that he would de- _ finitely go along with an 8,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size in this area. Commissioner Dickson stated that he has heard comments from several of the citizens regarding unfair actions by the City; and, that the Planning Commission is truing to arrive at the desires of the people in this area--those desires be- ing larger lot sizes. He added that the could not agree with the 8,000 sq.ft. minimtan lot size and feels that a 10,0(10 sq.ft. minimum lot size is appropriate. RESOLl1TI0N N0. 22L' It was moved by Commissioner Hickson, and seconded by Commissioner Cameos, that the nlanning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2212 recorTUnending that the City Council adopt Staff recommendation for a minimum lot size of 10,00 sq.ft. for Discussion Area 2.

IVoodworth reviewed Discussion Area 3, noting that Staff is recommending a minimum lot size of 10,000 sq.ft. in this area, in that the majority of the large lots are in the 9,000-12,000 sq.ft. range. Chairman ~:otowski declared the public hearing open on Hiscussion Area 3, and im~ited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. '~~o one wishing to speak, it was moved by Commissioner P~',eyer, and seconded by Corrm~issioner Dickson, that the public hearing be closed.

Woodworth reviewed Discussion Area 4, stating that Staff is recommending a 10,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size in this area, and that the majority of par- _ Gels fall in the 8,000-14,000 sq.ft, range. Chairman Kotowski declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Mr. Jolzn Puma, 1285 Peggy Avenue, stated that his property is a little over 20,000 sq.ft. and that if he dedicated the right-of-wav for street purposes he would be under the necessary square footage required for subdividing. 1`'tr. Kee e~cplained that the General Plan speaks in terms of gross acres, which would be measured to the centerline of the street; and, that zoning is in terms of net acres. If a property owner has 20,000 sq.ft. net, it is possible to split that into two lots--depending on the shape of the parcel. ^•1r. Kee sug- gested that the property olmer come into the Planning Office for further infor- mation and assistance. Alrs. T1aggie Desmond, 1491 Hack Avenue, spoke in opposition to the Staff's recommendation, stating that this type of lot size would not be consistent with past recommendations made by area residents to keep a rural atmosphere by main- taining a low density--large lot size. She spoke in opposition to any tyre of planned development in this area. "tr. Kee noted that a planned development (PP) does not necessarily increase density, in that the size of the parcel has a great deal to do with density. Ike continued that as long as the PD is in conformance with the General Plan, it could conceivably be allowed in this area, and stressed that there is de- finitely a control on planned development within the City. If the planned development does not conform to the General Plan, then it would not be allowed in anv area . ?~~. Lee Peterson, 1156 Audrey Avenue, spoke in favor of doivnscaling the density in the San Tomas Area in regard to any future planned developments that may be proposed for this area; spoke in favor of guidelines that would protect residents against increased densities; spoke for regulation of the number of units and building setback requirPmer_ts; and spoke in favor of a minimum lot size of 12,000 sq.ft. for this area. '~•'Irs. Bea Kruger, 1190 Steinway, spoke in favor of larger lot sizes and single story homes. ?~?r. Kee advised the Commission that currently throughout the City, in an R-1 Zoning District, a two-story single family home may be constructed with a height limitation of 2-1/2 stories. Commissioner Dickson noted that when the Site and Architectural Review Committee reviews an application it looks at the general silhouette in relation to the neighborhood and checks to see if the particular development would aid in a harmonious development in the immediate area. Tor. Dan Oburn, 79 S. First St., property owner of 1106, 1130 F, 1142 Audrey Avenue, stated that he is in opposition to the proposed zoning, in that the proposed zoning would prevent him from developing his properties and create a severe financial hardship. -6- There being no one else wishing to speak, it was moved by Commissioner Howard, and seconded by Commissioner Meyer, that the public hearing en Discussion Area 4 be closed.

Chairman Kotowski declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to speak for or against this item. Air. Bruce Reed, 1509 h'alnut Drive, stated his concern regarding a pocket in this area where there are several large lots between 20,000-30,000 sq.ft. and he noted that he ~~~ould like to see this area approved as a sub-area with a larger minimum lot size than is being recommended by Staff. Commissioner Campos noted that the notices that were mailed indicated mini- mum lot sizes of 10,000-18,000 sq.ft. -~- rtr. Kee stated that minimum lot sizes of 20,000-30,000 sq.ft. tivould he a large increase over Staff's recommendation; however, a larger minimum lot size could be placed on these parcels.

T'btion carried unanimously (5-0-2).

Commissioner Campos stated that it was his understanding that the residents of this area felt that the area was built-out already, and impact of any additional traffic iaas also a consideration.

Commissioner Dickson asked fora definition of "good neighbor, good repair" type of fencing. TSr. Stafford indicated that a good neighbor wooden fence would be installed and made in good repair by the applicant. Commissioner Campos asked what the conditions are that are imposed by the Santa Clara Valley l9ater District. Mr. Stafford replied that the conditions are standard conditions imposed on the applicant. l~lhenever a project abuts the property line, the j'dater Dis- trict may require some type of cyclone fence along the property line. He stated that the City would normally get a letter from the District regarding the conditions for the permit, but as yet, has not received one for this proj ect .

Chairman Kotowski declared the public hearing open and invited anyone in the audience to address the Commission. Nir. Alfred Pregliasco, 1540 T9cCoy Avenue, spoke in opposition to a wooden "good neighbor" fence and stated that he would like to see a masonry wall 8' in height to act as a sound buffer across all three lots. He stated that a 6' wooden fence would leave the area open to vandalism. -11- r~ir. 1`iike Shannon, 4451 Alex Drive, San Jose, apologized to homeoh~ners in the area for the lack of communication. He stated that two ladies from the Bobb~> Sox League were as}:ed to talk to the neighbors regarding the fencing. Chairman hotowski stated that this item did not exactly require considera- tion by the Commission, but was being presented to the Commission as a courtesy by the applicant. 1•'Ir. Pregliasco asked if this use permit would require an environmental im- pact report. Chairman fioto~~~ski responded that in this case, the use permit could he established at the Planning Commission level, and that the School Dis- trict has processed the necessary environmental information. I`ir. Ra~~nond Jackson, 1548 1~icCoy Avenue, stated that he owns the property adjacent to the Forest Hills School and is opposed to the concept entirel}>. He stated that due to the fact that this will be open to the public, the security of his home iaill be lessened, and that he has experienced problems tiaith people throwing beer bottles and garbage over the fence into his bac};- }>ard. He stated that he would like to see limitations on the use of this prop ert}> . ?sir. Ra~> Perales, 1445 Theresa Avenue, President of the Bobb}~ Sox League, spoke in favor of the proposal and stated that they have received permission from the St. Thomas of Canterbury Church to use their parking lot. 1`ir.

In response to a question of how many people usuall}> attend these games, 1`'1r. Perales stated that the largest crowd is on opening da7~ (10 teams of 12 girls), and on regular game days there would be 4 teams playing. Games start at 6 p.m. and end around 8 p.m. Chairman loto~.~ski asked for the definition of "Board Policy 1410, Use of Facilities." I~'Ir. Perales stated that he did not know the exact verbage, and his District representative Baas not present this evening. Chairman iotowski expressed his concern regarding the security of the field when not in use. Commissioner Campos asked if the Saratoga Soccer League will help with the improvements and if they would be using the field, and how they planned to lessen the impact of noise on the field. Commissioner Campos noted that reference was made to an EIR at Quito School, and he wondered if the find- ings of that EIR could be applied to what is being proposed this evening. 1`'Ir. Perales stated that the biggest concern was not just noise, in that there are several different types of uses at the school, not just the Bobby Sox use. He added that it would be difficult to apply the findings from the -- EIR of the Quito School due to the poor publicity expressed in the newspapers. Commissioner Campos noted that there appears to be some confusion regarding the type of fence to be constructed. -12- Commissioner Dickson asked if the residents in this area stated they wanted the good neighbor fence . Commissioner Tleyer stated that it was the impression of the Site and Archi- tectural Reviely Committee that this is what the residents wanted, and that they were in agreement with the proposal. Chairman };oto~aski stated that due to the questions raised regarding fencing and Board Policy 1410, he would like to suggest that this item be continued to the next meeting in order that P~'Ir. Perales might come to an agreement with area residents.

Mr. Kee reviewed this item with the Commission, stating that Staff is re- commending that a specific policy be adopted regulating the placement of sea cargo or transport containers, as outlined in the Staff Report. Staff is recommending that cargo containers be permitted in Conmlercial and Industrial Zoning Districts subject to Site and Architectural approval; and, that cargo containers be permitted in Residential Zoning Districts subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. -14- Commissioner T9e}per asked why such a cargo container would be placed on a residential site. Commissioner Howard noted that sea cargo companies sell these containers for storage purposes. In that there are no architectural design require- ments for these containers, Commissioner Hotiaard stated he would like to see some t}rpe of permit required to control the use of these containers. Commissioner Campos asked if other cities have controls on this type of storage use . Commissioner Howard indicated that it is the same as building a storage shed.
