Rebuttal to Argument Against
REBUTIAL FORM
Election Date: November 6, 2001 Measure: D
Jurisdiction: Garden Gate, an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County to
be annexed to the City of Cupertino
REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE D
lIThe County is now proposing a limit of 35% floor area ratio
for new homes in Garden Gate. Under City guidelines the
maximum floor area ratio is 45%. with annexation to
Cupertino. larger homes could be built in Garden Gate and
property values maintained.
2) Cupertino Single Family Dwelling Code 19.28.060 requires at
least 10' setback on one side yard and 5' on the other. The
real privacy issue is the second story on new homes. County
codes are not designed to protect neighborhood privacy.
There is no restriction on windows looking directly into the
windows and yards of adjacent homes. Cupertino codes require
consideration of neighbor's privacy. Annexation will protect
the privacy of residents while permitting the development of
attractive new homes.

3) Rancho Rinconada neighborhood leaders say. "Cupertino kept
all the promises made during annexation."

4)The County actively supports annexation indicating that they
cannot provide services to urban pockets that residents need
and deserve. city government can be more accessible and
responsive to residents.
5)A successful election will cancel annexation fees for all
Garden Gate home owners. If annexation fails. all Garden
Gate properties adjacent to the City will be required to pay
a $2,700 annexation fee if they wish to make a major remodel
or build a new house.
