None
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Clay Stringham, Challenger School representative, spoke about efforts to mitigate traffic on Hollenbeck Avenue from Challenger School.
Vice Mayor Lee verified with Mr. Stringham that a diagram and press release will be released to inform residents about the traffic road work being done in the area.
Amy Chan, City Manager, stated general information on this situation was on the dais for Council review. She stated staff will respond to the residents who have contacted the City regarding this issue and that Challenger School and Sunnyvale School District representatives will meet with the neighborhood. The public may receive further information by contacting either Sunnyvale School District Deputy Superintendent at (408) 522-8200, ext. 208 or Clay Stringham, Challenger School, at (801) 558-8018.
Juana Guevara spoke about her concerns regarding the Challenger School Project and the fact she was not informed of the project. She requested the project be stopped until a meeting between the neighborhood, school district, and Challenger School could be held. She also requested that Challenger School send out letters to all neighbors within a three-block radius.
Mayor Swegles clarified the work being done is not a City project.
Councilmember Howe explained that state law states that the City may not have any say regarding school property and that all permits will be issued by the State of California. However, he stated that the City will work with the community as a partner.
Susan Richter and Stephanie Edelman spoke about their concerns regarding the Challenger School Project and requested further information from the school.
Robert Paternoster, Director of Community Development, explained that use of the land is approved by the City and if Challenger School were to expand; an amendment to their Use Permit would be required and this request would necessitate noticing to the neighborhood by the City.

Sunnyvale Downtown Association’s request for financial assistance to form a Business Improvement District and Budget Modification
No. 7
|
|
|
Karen Davis, Economic Development Manager, presented the staff report.
Councilmember Howe clarified that the Redevelopment Agency Fund (staff report page 7) is the original fund allocated for downtown projects. Manager Davis stated the original fund was approximately 1.5 million and the remainder of the funds ($93,288) would be used for the Business Improvement District (BID) project.
Councilmember Howe verified that funds for street improvements on Murphy Avenue are still budgeted and will not affect the BID project.
Mayor Swegles opened the Public Hearing at 7:46 p.m.
Lara Bliesner stated she supports Alternative No. 2. Her main concern is to get the bid moving and send a positive message to the downtown businesses. However, her main objective is to receive funding. Additional supporters in the audience stood in support of Ms. Bliesner's comments.
Mayor Swegles closed the Public Hearing at 7:48 p.m.
Vice Mayor Lee clarified that Alternative No. 1 would not include funding for enhanced maintenance on Murphy Avenue in next year’s budget. Vice Mayor Lee confirmed that the additional cost for the enhanced maintenance would be $24,420, and that amount would not be budgeted in the next fiscal year if Alternative No. 1 were approved.
MOTION: Councilmember Spitaleri moved and Vice Mayor Lee seconded to approve Alternative No. 2: Council approves the SDA’s request of $47,050 to hire a consultant and fund the part-time executive director position to form a BID in Downtown Sunnyvale, approves Budget Modification No. 7.
Councilmember Howe asked for clarification on how long the enhanced maintenance would continue if Alternative No. 2 were approved. Marvin Rose stated Council took action in June 06 to add the enhanced maintenance into the proposed budget. He stated the amount should be corrected to an annualized number of $35,000 per year, and Council approved the expense for one-year.

RTC 06-269 |
Appeal of a decision of the Planning Commission denying an application for a Variance from Sunnyvale Municipal Code section 19.48.020 for a new fence greater than three feet in the corner vision triangle. The property is located at 1386 Lewiston Drive (near Cascade Dr.) in an R-1(Low Density Residential) Zoning District
|
|
|
Steve Lynch, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Councilmember Moylan asked why a previous applicant (page 6 of staff report) was granted a Use Permit for a high fence (without being required to apply for a Variance), and yet this appellant is required to obtain a Variance. Senior Planner Lynch agreed the previous applicant should have been required to apply for a Variance
|
|
|
Mayor Swegles opened the Public Hearing at 7:58 p.m.
Ronen Sigura, appellant, stated his reasons for Council approval of his appeal. He stated he meets the recommended findings and his Variance should be approved due to the unique nature of his situation.
Gerald Reed and Andy Anderson, neighbors, spoke in support of the proposed fence and approval of the Variance.
Mayor Swegles closed the Public Hearing at 8:07 p.m.
Councilmember Howe verified all three recommended findings must be made to approve a Variance.
MOTION: Councilmember Moylan moved and Councilmember Spitaleri seconded to approve Alternative No. 2: Grant the appeal and approve the Variance with the attached conditions.
Councilmember Moylan stated based on his site visit, he found all three findings were met. In addition to meeting the criteria for findings 1 and 2, he stated that the appellant would not be receiving special privileges (finding 3) since he has not seen another property in such a unique configuration. This property is an example of why Variances exist.
Councilmember Chu stated he also visited the property, but could not make the third finding; therefore, he is recommending denial of the appeal. He stated that a Study Issue should be considered regarding a possible modification to the Ordinance, which would allow transparent fences in certain situations.
Councilmember Howe verified that a vision triangle is a Municipal Code Ordinance, not state law.
VOTE: 3-3 (Vice Mayor Lee, Mayor Swegles and Councilmember Chu dissented, Councilmember Hamilton absent). Motion failed.
Councilmember Howe verified that the proposed fence (with retaining wall) would be 5 feet, 6 inches from the top of the curb and the vision triangle will not allow for more than 3 feet in height. Additionally, he verified that the Ordinance does not address an open versus closed fence.
Councilmember Howe verified with David Kahn, City Attorney, that four votes are needed to approve the Variance. Since this did not occur, the appeal is therefore deemed denied and no further motions shall be made.
|
|
|
Councilmember Chu stated he would sponsor a Study Issue to address a modification to the Ordinance regarding the vision triangle that would include the transparency of a fence.
Councilmember Chu moved and Councilmember Howe seconded that if Municipal Code Section 19.48.020 is modified (as a result of the Study Issue), the appellant Ronen Sigura may reapply without paying an additional fee within two years after a change in the Ordinance or denial of the Study Issue.
Councilmember Moylan verified that the appellant may currently apply for approval of a Miscellaneous Plan Permit for a 3-foot retaining wall around the edge of the yard. Should the Study Issue change the Ordinance, Mr. Sigura could then reapply to increase the height of the fence. Senior Planner Lynch indicated that staff typically discourages a solid fence, but that issue is reviewed at staff level.

RTC 06-270 |
Application to Initiate a General Plan Amendment Study to change the Land Use Designation for 174 North Sunnyvale Avenue from Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) to Residential Medium Density (RMED) |
|
|
Steve Lynch presented the staff report.
Councilmember Chu verified there are two parcels on the 100 block of north Sunnyvale Avenue with high density that were approved by a Variance a number of years ago. The density being proposed would be similar to the two high density parcels already on the block (R-3 zone).
Mayor Swegles opened the Public Hearing at 8:22 p.m.
Richard Smith, applicant, spoke in favor of consideration for the implementation of a zone change from low to medium density on his property. He stated the surrounding areas have homes, apartments, and industrial buildings.
Councilmember Howe asked if the General Plan Amendment were approved, what would be the approval process of the project. Senior Planner Lynch stated a General Plan Amendment and rezoning would come back to Council for approval.
Councilmember Chu verified with Mr. Smith that if the property were to be rezoned, it would be a year before construction would begin.
Councilmember Moylan commented that the City of Sunnyvale only has two funeral homes (one is Mr. Smith’s) and asked Mr. Smith if he had considered selling his business.
Mr. Smith stated it would be hard to sell since the business is no longer viable due to high demand for cremation. He stated traditional funerals are no longer very common.
Councilmember Howe confirmed approval of the study would require approval of the General Plan Amendment, rezoning and the project (the site plan and architectural approval, as part of the special development permit) would come to the City at the same time. Councilmember Howe confirmed with Mr. Smith that this was acceptable and that he would be required to do the drawings at the time of the rezone. Councilmember Howe asked staff what level of detail would be required on the plans if the study were approved this evening. Senior Planner Lynch stated they would require a full set of plans, not a conceptual set of plans.
Amy Chan, City Manager, stated initiation of the General Plan Amendment does not convey approval. It is a study where staff looks at the rezoning and could recommend the General Plan not be changed. She stated the risk for the applicant is that after submitting the special development requirements, the study may not support the desired change.
Mr. Smith stated he understands that if the study is approved, he would be required to pay the fees and submit conceptual drawings, not a full set of plans.
Councilmember Howe asked staff if Alternative No. 2 (Authorization of the Study) were approved, what would be the action steps. Senior Planner Lynch stated the next step for the applicant would be to develop a full set of plans (not construction plans) as part of the special development permit. Requirements include architectural, landscaping, tract map, and site plans which must be the final approved plans; however, working or conceptual plans are not required.
Mayor Swegles closed the Public Hearing at 8:42 p.m.
Councilmember Chu asked how extensive Alternative No. 3 would be in comparison to Alternative No. 2. Senior Planner Lynch stated Alternative No. 2 is simpler because the applicant is in control of the application process. Alternative No. 3 would require obtaining other property owners signatures in order to go forward with the rezone and General Plan Amendment; however, a special development permit would not be required as with Alternative No. 2.
Councilmember Chu verified that the two parcels immediately to the south of this parcel would be rezoned R-3 if Alternative No. 3 were approved. Robert Paternoster, Director of Community Development, stated that Alternative No. 3 includes all five parcels because a larger area should be looked at when considering higher density.
Vice Mayor Lee confirmed that if a majority of the five property owners do not agree to have their parcel included as part of a rezone (as stated in Alternative No. 3), the applicant’s property could not be studied.
Councilmember Chu verified that the Industrial to Residential (ITR) area for the property that is on Sunnyvale Avenue (Northrup-Grumman) is zoned R-2 (Low-Medium density).
Councilmember Howe verified with David Kahn, City Attorney, that Council could approve Alternative No. 2 (which would Study the applicant’s property only) and simultaneously approve Alternative No. 3 (which would require the other 4 (not five as written) parcels to state an interest). If the other four property owners wish to participate they must notify the City within 30 days, at which time all parcels will be considered. If not, only the applicant’s parcel will be studied.
MOTION: Councilmember Howe moved and Councilmember Spitaleri seconded to approve Alternative No. 2: Authorize the initiation of the General Plan Amendment Study for the subject site.
with the addition: Modified Alternative No. 3: Authorize the initiation of the General Plan Amendment Study for four parcels on the eastern side of North Sunnyvale Avenue currently designated as Residential Low-Medium Density, which includes two parcels to both the north and the south
and a response from the property owners must be received within thirty days. If all four parcels do not respond favorably and within the time given, subject site will continue to be studied.
Councilmember Moylan stated he supports Alternative No. 1 (denial of the Study). He stated his concerns about losing 50% of the funeral homes in the City, and that an element of the General Plan in this area states it is City policy to have a full spectrum of businesses. He also finds staff recommendation against spot zoning to be persuasive.
Councilmember Chu offered a friendly amendment to include the western most Northrop–Grumman sites in the General Plan Amendment Study. Friendly amendment accepted.
VOTE: 5-1 (Councilmember Moylan dissented, Councilmember Hamilton absent)

COUNCIL: |
Councilmember Howe stated the City has two, one-month periods where residents can put out additional trash on their regular trash day. He stated the City of Cupertino has one Saturday (twice a year) where residents can put out additional trash. He asked if the idea of replacing the four week single-family home "extended pickups" each spring and fall with two pickups per year (as a potential savings on the contract) would require a Study Issue or could this be done administratively. City Manager Chan suggested staff consider the issue first and come back to Council via a Friday report. She stated if staff suggests a Study Issue she will also would convey that information to Council.
Councilmember Howe asked Community Development to provide a summary of potential planning projects that will be considered in the next 6-12 months. City Manager Chan stated that information would be supplied to Council in a Friday report.
Councilmember Howe asked staff to provide information on the timing of the Downtown Improvements Project.

PUBLIC COMMENTS (Re-Opened)
Mayor Swegles announced speakers will have two minutes each.
Lee Miller stated he would encourage Council to require a certain number of new buildings to have solar power and suggested this issue be placed on the ballot. He stated he would like to serve on a committee to support this request.
Councilmember Moylan stated he would sponsor a Study Issue on Mr. Miller’s request to require that a percentage of new buildings have solar power. Vice Mayor Lee stated he will co-sponsor this Study Issue. He offered a friendly amendment to include in the Study Issue to have solar panels installed in parking areas. Friendly amendment accepted.
Walter Huber spoke about traffic management, safety, and issues around Challenger School. He asked Council to request that Public Safety staff survey the traffic situation around Challenger School and offer suggestions to curb the problems and improve safety. Councilmember Howe stated that every year the Public Safety Department conducts enforcement action around schools. Mr. Huber suggested that Public Safety should survey the area more often with less visibility.
Barb Satina stated that Challenger School is changing the use of the site and it does involve the City.
Fred Stahl stated the field at Challenger School was used daily by soccer teams and the Challenger School Project will eliminate this use. He stated the Challenger School Project needs to be reviewed further.
Enrique Alfaro stated his concerns with the Challenger School project. He requested Council study the traffic pattern alteration that will occur with the changes created by the Challenger project.
Claudio Mandelli asked if a comprehensive traffic study was done, and he stated that although the project is out of the boundaries of the City’s jurisdiction, the traffic situation is not. City Manager Chan stated a traffic study was not required for this proposed change, but staff will have a conversation with the school district. She stated the City was not aware of this situation until a day ago, and has encouraged the school district to have a community meeting. However, the school district stated it would be more effective to have the neighborhood contact them and they would go though a detailed review of the plan.
No one else wished to speak and Mayor Swegles closed Public Comments.
