SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. ~ Mecfing Date: May 7, 2001
SUBJECT
Monthly Treasurer's and Budget Report - March 2001
BACKGROUND
Attached is the Treasurer's and Budget report for the period ended March 31, 2001. The
report includes all funds in control of the City.
Investments
The market value of our current portfolio totaled $43.7 million at month end with a
maturity value of $43.4 million. The City intends to hold investments until maturity to
redeem full value of the securities currently with a maturity value below market value.
The current investment portfolio remained relatively unchanged during the month of
March with incoming revenues offsetting expenditures. The outstanding check total
exceeded the cash balance in the 8weep account at March 30 creating a negative balance.
Funds were transferred on April 2.
The investments of the City of Cupertino are in full compliance with our City investmerit
policy and/oi' State law. Investments are tiered to adequately provide the City with
sufficient cash flows to pay its obligations over the next six months.
Revenue/Expenditure Trends
General fund revenues are below budget projections at the end of March due to the timing
of major tax payments received by the State and County.
Operating expenditures for the General Fund remnin below budget by 7.50%.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council review and accept thc March Treasurer's and
Budget report.

Dear Julia,
The Iranian Federated Women's Club and Payvand Cultural School are
seeking funding and support in bringing our cultural perspective to
this wonderful, diverse community through sponsorship of the Fifth
Annual Iranian Arts and Cultural Event. This event is scheduled to
take place at the Quinlan Community Center in Cupertino on September
23, 2001.
The funding and support will underwrite a one-day festival that will
include a wide variety of community activities: dance, music, poetry,
handicrafts, and food.
Need: Young Iranian Americans, like many immigrant children, face the
difficulty Of integrating their Iranian identities in a new
environment. They need to be able to be Americans who are proud of
their cultural heritage.
Our Organization and its Mission: The Iranian Federated Women's Club
and Payvand Cultural School are non-profit corporations that work to
aid Iranian Americans in learning to be good Americans while
maintaining their own heritage through classes in language, dance,
music, painting, and other activities. In addition, we contribute to
our American environment by supporting various activities that
integrate our children and young people in becoming Americans in a
positive way.
I would appreciate if you would be kind enough to wave the fee for use
of the Community Room, Social Room, Crafts Room, Activity Room, and the
inside of the building (like last year) on that day.
Please do not hesitate to call me at (408) 865- 0969 if you have any
questions.
Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Fariba Nejat, President

SUMMARY
AGENDA ITEM [ [0 AGENDA DATE May 7, 2001
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Resolution No. 01- [{}5: Approving Final Contract Change Order No. 13 for the Senior Center
Project in the amount of $21,111.00, for a total conm~ct amount of $3,760,822.00.
BACKGROUND
On June 8, 1999, the Council approved a contract with McCrary Construction for the Senior
Center Project in the amount of $3,357,800. Since that time, 12 Contract Change Orders (CCO)
aggregating $381,911.00 have been approved for various additional items of work, including
CCO No. 3 in the amount of $175,674.00, for the replacement restroom to serve Memorial Park.
This is the final contract change order for this project. A number of minor changes and additions
continued to become necessary as the building neared completion. All of these modifications are
similar to those recommended in CCO #12 which was recently approved by the Council. Most
are due to minor unforeseen conditions that would have been difficult to anticipate at the time the
construction drawings were completed or are needed to adequately accommodate the programs
in the center.
The items in final CCO #13 include such things as the following:
1. Installation of Fire Marshall required electrical outlets behind the stoves.
2. Reconfiguration of elec~ical wiring and conduits to restroom fans.
3. Modification of electrical wiring to motor starters for the rooftop fans.
4. Relocate magnetic door holders for door to the reception hall.
5. Installation of 120v power to fireplace.
6. Installation of alarm on rollup fire door
7. Project overhead due to 10 additional working days
All of the items result in a total cost of $21,111.00, which was negotiated with the contractor.
Staff believes this represents a reasonable price for the work involved. This change order cost is
within the approved project budget.

AGENDA ITEM 1'~ AGENDA DATE May 7, 2001
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Resolution No. 01- ~0~: Approving Conlract Change Order No.1 in the amount of $12,955.00
for Homestead Road and Tantau Avenue Corridors Traffic Signals Upgrade Project, Project No.
9527 and Homestead Road Arterial Management Project Phase II Project No. 9530. The adjusted
total contraet amount is $53,305.00
BACKGROUND
On September 20, 2000, the City Council approved a contract for $39,350.00 with Republic
Electric for the Homestead Road and Tantau Avenue Corridors Traffic Signals Upgrade Project,
Project No. 9527 and Homestead Road Arterial Management Project Phase II Project No. 9530.
-- Originally these projects were bid together to save on time and material costs. These projects
include the installation of emergency vehicle preemption units, spread specmun radio
assemblies, and electrical enclosures.
Since that time, staffhas determined that it is cost effective and time efficient to also install two
new traffic signal cabinets along with Projects No. 9527 and No. 9530. Funding for the traffic
signal cabinet improvemems is in conjunction with the San Tomas Aqulno Project. The San
Tomas Aquino Project will provide for bicycle paths, routes and lanes and the installation of two
traffic signal cabinets, one at Tantau Avenue & Vallco Parkway and a second at Tantan Avenue
& Pruneridge Avenue. The price for each traffic signal cabinet installation is $5,000.00. This
cost is representative of current competitive pricing for traffic signal cabinet installation. The
cost of the installation of the traffic signal cabinets is $10,000.00.
Once the work began, the traffic signal technician inspecting the work became aware that there
was a need for 3 larger puli boxes at 2 locations, Homestead & Wolfe Roads and Homestead
Road & Tantau Avenue. The cost of the larger [No. 6] pull box and its installation is $627.00.
Two were installed one at Homestead & Wolfe Roads and another at Homesmad Road and
Tantau Avenue for a total of $1,254.00. The cost to saw cut and remove sidewalk and to replace
the sidewalk for installation of another No. 6 pull box at Homestead Road & Tentau Avenue, is
$1,701.00. This work is needed to accommodate all the necessary wiring to finish the work.

SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. I ~ Meeting Date: May 7, 2001
SUBfECT AND ISSUE
Approval to replace the Accounting Technician position with the position of Finance Manager in
the Finance Division of the Admiuis~ative Services Dep~utu,ent
BACKGROUND
In 1994, Administrative Services consisted of the Finance, Human Resources, and City Clerk
Divisions. Since that time, the department has expanded to include Economic Development,
Information Technology, Disaster Preparedness, Leadership Cupertino and Tomorrow's Leaders
Today.
With the depamnent's expansion, there is a need for a stronger assistant to provid~ the "hands
on" managerial oversight that is crucial to the Finance Division. We are therefore proposing Chat
we replace our vacant position with that of a Finance Manager. This will provide an opportunity
to reorganize Finance and provide for a strong manager consistent with the other divisions in the
Administrative Services Depamnent (see attached organization chart).
FUNDING
Annual funding for the new Finance Manager position would be approximately $121,000
including sala~ and benefits. Because this position would be replacing an Accounting
Technician, costing $78,702 (salary and benefits), the net increase to the general fund is
approximately $42,300.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval to ~place the Accounting Technician position with that of a Finance
Manager effective July l, 2001.

AGENDA ITEM I ~ AGENDA DATE May 7, 2001
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Resolution No. 01-10'7: Releasing covenants on two expired deferred agreements for
improvements on the property at 10157 Foothill Boulevard. (APN No. 342-14-116)
BACKGROUND
The fa-st deferred agreement was executed and recorded on January 31, 1978 and the second one
was executed and recorded on April 13, 1984. The deferred agreements are for the installation of
public improvements such as curbs, gutters, storm lines and asphalt street work. Both
agreements had an expiration date of 5 years and 6 months from the date of the agreement if the
City did not exercise its fights under the agreements.
Apparently the performance requirements under both agreements (installation of street
improvements) was deferred with the expectation that adjacent properties would develop within
the 5 1/2 year timeframe allowing all improvements to be done together. For whatever reason
the City did not exercise its right to require the improvements and now the agreements have
expired.
The property owners have now requested that the City clear thc expired deferred agreements off
the current property title. Since these agreements have expired the City does not forfeit any
benefit by releasing these covenants. In the future, should these properties redevelop or be
improved above 25% of their value, the City could then evaluate the need to require any
necessary impwvements at that time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adoption of Resolution No. 01- 10't, releasing the covenants ruvnlng of two expired deferred
agreements on the property at 10157 Foothill Boulevard (APN No. 342-14-116).

BACKGROUND
The San Jose Water Company has recently notified the City of its intention to increase water
rates for its Cupertino customers. A letter dated April 27, 2001 from Vice President Richard
Balocco is attached for the Council's information.
As noted in Mr. Balocco's letter, any new rates require City approval in accordance with the
Water Lease Agreement between the City and the Water Company. Section 15.04.030 of thc
Cupertino Municipal Code provides that a public hearing be set by the City Clerk to be held
within 60 days of the request for a rate change. The ordinance further provides that noticing for
the hearing be provided by the Water Company at its expense at least 14 days before the hearing
date. Therefore, it is recommended that the hearing be scheduled for June 4 at 7:00 p.m. as part
of that day's regularly scheduled Council meeting.
Staff will provide a repor~ on the rate changes with background information and appropriate
recommendations for the hearing date as part of the June 4 Council agenda.

Dear David:
Enclosed you will ~ a copy of the latest San Jose Water Company (S~'C) tariff rates
which were approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (C?UC) on April 19, 2001.
These new rates require approval by the City of Cupeffino as specified in Section No. 8 of the
Water Lease Agreement between the City of Cupertino and S.IWC.
San Jose Water Company's request for the rate increase was ~ed with the CPUC in
Fchmaty of 2000. As required, at the time of the filing all SP~VC customers were notified of
SP~VC's filing. A copy of the notice to Customers regard'u!g the filing ofthls application is
enclosed for your review. The filing was extensively reviewed by the CPUC staff. With the
CPUC's April 19th decision, all issues have been resolved and new rates have been authorized
for SIWC.
The rate change authorized by the CPUC will increase the average customer bill by
approximately $2.32 per month, or about 8 cents per day. Also authorized as part of the rate
change are surcharges associated with rccovcry, water quality and expenses associated with
catastrophic events.
A breakdown of some of the significant items rcco~miT~xi in the newly authorized rates is
as follows:
· A record $26 million Capital Replacement Budget for 2001 escalating to $28
million in 2002;
· An increase of $3 million in depreciation expense to recover prior capital
replacements not previously recosjnl-ed in rates.
· A 250% increase in water quality expenses associated with compliance with new

SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. ~ Meeting Date: May 7, 2001
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Approval of a $250 monthly automobile allowance for the recently established classification of
Senior Civil Engineer.
BACKGROUND
In February 2001, the City Council appwved the addition of a new Senior Civil Engineer position in
the Public Works Department. As described in the February staff report, the Senior Civil Engineer
classification was established at the same level of responsibility and compensation as City Traffic
Engineer.
Although the salaries for Senior Civil Engineer and Traffic Engineer are set at the same range, a
disparity exists in respect to automobile allowance. Resolution No. 00-185, Policy No. 4, of the
Unrepresented Employees' Compensation Program authorizes a $250 monthly automobile
allowance for the Traffic Engineer as compensation for use of a personal vehicle on City business.
The Senior Civil Engineer classification also requires regular use of a personal vehicle for
Iransporiation to various worksites, City and inter-agency meetings, and public presentations to
advisory committees, citizen groups, boards and commissions. Due to the comparable nature of
these two engineering management classes and similar personal vehicle usage requirements, the
recommended automobile allowance for Senior Civil Engineer is necessary to maintain equitable
internal compensation relationships.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 01- }0g mending Resolution
No. 00-185, Policy No. 4, to add a $250 monthly automobile allowance for the recently established
classification of Senior Civil Engineer.

SUMMARY
AGENDA NO. ~ AGENDA DATE May 7, 2001
SUMMARY: File No. 03-Z-01 (03-EA-01), City Council-Initiated PREZONING of
approximately 107 acres of land developed with single-family detached residences from County to
Pre-RI-10 (Single-family Residential Zoning District, 10,000 square foot minimum lot size.). The
area is generally bounded by Orcenleaf Drive, Beardon Drive, Elenda Drive, Hazelbrook Drive,
Ann Arbor Avenue, Gardena Drive and Stelling Road, and is commonly known as Oarden Gate.
RECOMMENDATIONS: On unanimous votes (5-0), the Planning Commission recommended:
l) Adoption of a negative declaration (file no. 01-EA-01) for the.prezoning project, and
2) Adoption of the "pre-R1-10" zoning ordinance no. 1879 for Oarden Oate
BACKGROUND: The City Council directed staff to initiate a prezoning of Oarden Oate on
February 13, 2001. Prezoning is a necessary step before the City Council can consider an
annexation of the area. Prezuning informs affected residents about the development regulations and
allowed and conditionally allowed land uses before the properties are annexed into the city.
Prezoning has no legal effect on properties until they are annexed into the city. The Planning
Commission heard this item on March 26, 2001 (Exhibits A-2 & B-2).
DISCUSSION:
Public:
The public's comments primarily focused on the proposed annexation. Four residents of Garden
Gate spoke in favor of annexation. One city resident asked if a certain County block (Gardena
Drive) was included in the annexation; she was told it was included. Two Garden Gate residents
expressed skepticism about the benefits of annexation.
Staff:
The existing County zoning is RI-10. This prezoning is identical to ones approved for other Garden
Gate lots that have been previously prezoned and annexed. The prezoning is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use designation and it would not allow the further subdivision of any of the
individual properties, which range in size fl'om 9,100 to 19,100 square feet.
Plannin~ Commissioners:
The commissioners reviewed the differences between the County and Cupertino zoning regulations
and asked about the legal status of existing Garden Gate homes that do not meet Cupertino
standards. Staff stated that many of the newer residences would be considered legal, if they had
County building permits, but may be nonconforming to the standards in the zoning ordinance, such
as setback and building height. The nonconforming feature could not be expanded or increased
under the City RI-10 zone following annexation. Many residences in Cupertino are considered
legal, nonconforming structures. Most of the San Jose-approved homes that annexed into Cupertino
in 1979 as part of the Cupertino/San Jose boundary re-alignment, are legal, noneonforming because
of their two 5-foot side setbacks. Most of the two-story residences built in Cupertino in the last l0
years becarae legal, nonconforming stx'uctures when the City's new R.-I ordinance went into effect
in June 1999.
One ¢oramissioner asked about the appropriateness of the prezoning given other R-I options and
other prezoning alternatives available. Staff stated that "pre-R.l-10" was the most appropriate
zoning district. The County zoning is R.I-10, which is what residents are familiar with. The
prezoning is consistent with the General Plan and existing land uses and would not allow higher
density housing or further subdivision in the neighborhood, which is what many residents are
expecting.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommelld:
1) Adoption ora neEafive declaration (ffie no. 01-EA-01) for the prezonin§ pwject.
2) Approval of the prezoninE (fflo no. 03-Z-01) in accordance with the model resolution.
Project Data:
General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential (1-5 dwellings/gr, ac.)

Proposed City Pre-Zoning Dssi~nafion: Pre-RI-10
Gross Acres: appwximately 107 acres
Consistency with: General Plan Yes Zoning N/A
Within Urban Serviee Area? Yes
Environmental Assessment: NeF~ive Declaration
BACKGROUND:
A pre-zoning project must be approved before the City can initiate proceedings to annex
the C-arden Gate area to Cupertino es authorized by the City Council at its February 2,
1998 meeting when it reviewed and adopted a County island annexation strategy (Exhibit
A-l). All nni~coq~orated territory must be tn'ezuned and within the City's urban service
ares/sphere of infl~nee beforo a City may proceed with an amlexation.
The proposed prezonln_a_ area is developed solely with single-family detached residences,
their accessory sw~-ctures and the connecting streets (See Prezoning Plat Map).. Thc area
is pwposed, for "RI"( Single-Pamily Residential) prezoning. The "notches" in the map
depict individual lots that have been previously pre-zoned and mostly annexed to
Cupertino.
DISCUSSION:
The Discussion Section will address three subject areas pertaining to the prezoning: I )
Comparison of City & County zoning standards, 2) Legal, Nonconformity Issues and 3)
.a~ss~anment OflVl*inlmum Lot Sizes
City sad Cosaty Zsaial Stsadards
Sm~ believes a conventional R1 -type p~z, oning is most appropriate for the area. The
area developed under a County RI zoning and residents who have remodeled or
redeveloped their properties should be familiar with the concepts of building setback.
building height, as well as other zoning t~m,inology. The continuing dialogue among
residents, the City and the County on zoning, development end annexation issues has had
the intended effect of creadng a better informed neighborhood. A County/City
comparison o£the residential development standards is shown below: '

---. Notes: The side setback on a comeF lot is sllghtly greater ~han ~or an interior lot in the City end the
County.
((~) Two story homes wi~ a FAR gream' ~an 3S% require City design review approval,
(#) Rear, one-story building setback may be reduced to lO feet under certain circumstances.
(*) In Cupertino a setback surcharse of 1 $ feet applies to the front & side setbacks, $ of the 15
fcet must be bn the side.
An overall comparison of both sets of standards is difficuit. To say one set of standards
is more onarous or protective than thc othe~ is too simplistic. In general, howc¥cr, thc
City's re~lafions will result in more interesting two-story building forms that are more
in scale with the neighhorbood.
Legal Nonconformity
Changes in the County zonln~ ordinencc uadoubtMly created a certain number of legal,
but nonconforming houses; that ia, houses that were built to one act of standards but wcrc
rende~d nonconforming in one real, Ct-Or another by a change in thc zoning standards.
For example, a Garden Oatc honsc with a floor area ratio greater than 45% is considered
legal, nonconforming in the County since the County adopted a 45% FAR maximum in
1999. Thc same thing will happco if Garden Gate isprezoned and annexed to Cupertino;
acertnln number of houses will be rendered legal, nonconforming by virtue of the
differances in the development standa~la between the City and County. This is not
unusual; a large number of existing Cupc~no resid.ances are considered legal,
nonconforming in one respect or another. When San Jose and Cupertino reorganized its
-- boundaries in 1979, most of the hundreds of San Jose residences that came into Cupertino
became legal, nonconforming structures. Building a~tivity in these areas will continue as
always as long as the nonconforming features of buildings are not increased.
Assignment of Minimum got Sizes
Before proposing the prezoning designations, staffreviewed all of the lot sizes in Garden
(}ate to determine if there was a geographic pattern to the lot sizes.
Lot sizes are attached to the City residential zoning designation to indicate the minimum
net lot area needed for land division. For example, a 20,000 square-foot lot zoned R I- 10
(single-family residential with a minimum net lot area of 10,000 square feet) may be
subdivided into two lots if it met all zoning standards, subdivision standards and was
approved by the City.
The lot sizes range from 9,100 to 19,100 square feet in Garden (}ate with the typical lot
size somewhere between 9,600 and 10,600 square feet. The proposed prezoning, pre-RI-
10, is designed to discourage inappropriate future subdivision of this established
neighborhood. Under this pre-zoning, 10,000 square feet would be the minimum
necessary per lot for subdivision purposes. Thus, (}arden (}ate lots would not be
subdividable in the City.
Next Steps
The pre-zoning is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on April 16, 2001. A
subsequent snnexation proceeding which will be heard by just the City Council is
tentatively scheduled for June 200i.

Annexation O~oor'tunit~
lite opportunity for large scale annexation of developed areas, as is currently bein~ contemplated
by-the City and the residents of the u~i~corporated pockets of Moata Vista, Garden Gate and
Raztcho Rinconada is very infi~quent, Riven the confluence of SUl!pon required by residents,
city and. count. The la,~t time such an oppommity occurred ~ in the late 1970's when a larlle
portion of West San Jose that extended past De Anza Boulevard and almost into Monta Vista
wa~ de-annexed from San los/aud aunexed to Cupertino. The joint City/County Urban Pockets
Pro/ram provides the logical vehicle for the City to cornplele its boundaries by annexing most
the pockets wirh~ its urban service ~ea and th~ oppon"unity for pocket residents to become
p.a~ o£Cupertino whose decisions are mostly likely to affect their neighborhoods. The prezoning
a~d annexafioa process is graphically depicted in Exhibit
DISCUSSION:
D~scription of Pockets (See ~hil~it.B)
:p~ncho Rinconada

Annexation Ool~ortunitv
The oppon'unl~ for large scale a~uexalion of deviloped areas, as is currently being contemplated
by the City and the residents of the unincorporated pockets of Monta Vista, Garden Gate and
l~]llcho Rillc0II~da is very inf~¢que~t~ given the confluence of support required by residents,
city and. count~. The last time such an opportunity occurred was in the late 1970's when a large
portion of West San Jose that extended pa~ De Anza Boulevard and almost into Monta Vista
was de-allnexed from San Jos~ end ~nnexed to Cupertino. The joint City/County Urban Pockets
Program provides the logical vehicle for the City to complete its boundaries by annexin~ most of
the pockets within its uzben service area and the opporrtmity for pocket residents to become a
p.a~ of Cuperiino whose decisions are mostly likely to affect their neighborhoods. The prezonin§
a~l s-~exation process is graphically depicted in Exhibit A.

Results of Community Meetings a,~d Informal Surveys
.. To --~wer residents' questions and provide them with information on.annexation, TA~
¢i~ .~oc~t~ Report: ~lm~e,r.~on dn~er Boog was publL~hed and mailed to all households
and
l~roPer~ owners. Another round of cor~munit~ meetings for each area was held in l~t~ October
and No,~mbcr 1997 to further answer and discuss any resident questions.
Informal surveys o.f annexation sentiment werei taken at the community meetings and through
postcard included with the "Pockets l?.epott." Residents were encouraged to indicate their'
support for or opposition to annexation. The survey response rate ~ low, indicating that the
majorit7 of residents may ~ot feel strongly one way or thc other about the annexation issue
C£rd~ibit
Out of those who r~sponded, the results varied among the three areas. In Rancho Rinconada, an
overwhelr~iug majority (two-thirds) of the respondents was in favor of annexation; thc Garden
Gate respondents were 40 to 50% in favor 'of annexation; and in Monta Vista most of the
!...'"~._ respondents were opposed to annexation (Exhibits C &: D)?
~ '" Of the three pockets, there t~s~ been proactive, resident-sponsored, support for annexation in only
one pocket, Rancho Rinconada. The support group has been active for months, educating
neighbors, &athering petition siE~,tures and informing residents of upcoming City meetings.
· Some of their literature (Exhibit E) and some of their petitions favoring annexation (Exhibit F)
are enclosed.
Potential Impacts of Annexation on Pocket Residents and the City
The CuI~er~ino i°o¢/cef$ .~eporf brought together information dcveloped by City and County staffs
on the potential impacts of mmcration on pocket residents. In addition; city staff analyzed thc.
estimated revenues and costs of annexing ~ three pockets. The most important findings are as
follows: ' · '
Annexation Imoacts on PoCket Residents
· Closer-to:home government.that is more likely to understand and be rasponsive to their
concerns than is likely.if the pockets ~emain unincorporated. '
3
· Bet~ and additional serv/ces, such as, traffic enforcement, street sweeping & sidewalk
· . ; Keduction in service inefficieacies and confusion for area residents in reg .ard to who ar~ their
service providers. ' '
· · No reassessment ofpropen'y values based on s~exation.
No change in propen~ tax rates. City and CounVj property tax rates are identical.
· Negligible impacts on other taxes anal fees. Slightly lower special assessments, a utili{y lex, '
and slightly lower garbage colle~ion fees.
[_~. ' · Reasonable development limits on new construction.
Annexation Imf)acts on the
· Negligible impact on City revenues. Exhibit O shows estimated annual rcvehues and
expenditures upon s,~,~exation of each pocket. Upon annexation of all three areas, the net
- cost per yeas to the .City in ~trrent dollars is eat/mated to be about $32,000.
o ~..nable City to come closer to completing its boundaxies by annexing most of the remalninll
unincorl~rated pockets within its tit-ban service area which will reduce }udsdictional
coffusion for City staff..
· Evant~A!l~y inot'¢ase the City's population to over $0,000 residents (current population is
44,g00) which would qualify the City to receive additibnal Community Development Block
,./~."-"~'..7 ~rants (CDBG) flora the federal Sove, mment in the mount cf $1?S,000 to $610,000. These
ftmds would have to be used r~si~ly on capital projects benefiting low and very Iow income
"' households and would not .di~ct!y b~efit the City's General Fund.
Prezoning and ,&,,nexstlon Process
Process Descrit)tion
The process of pr=zoning and annexation is graphically depicted in Exhibit A. This model is
applicable to C_rarden ~ate and Rancho Rinconada. TI~ process for Monta Vista ii different
because it ha~ already been prezoned and a diffe~nt annexation law applies to are~ -~maller than
75 acres. State law provides that in such small areas, A,~,~exafion can be authorized without
formal elections.
l~rezo~i~g is the legislativi proceas ofpredetermln~ng the City zoning r~Eulations that will apply'
to. unincorporated lands upon .annexation to the City. They have no regulatory effect on
-nlncorporated lands until the aane~ati, on is completed. Notice' is sent to affected property
owners and those witkin 300 feet oft. he affected territory. Public hearings must be held before
the Planning Commission and then the.City Council. The Planning Commission makes a
z~commendation 'to the City Council. The Planning Commission is' currently, reviewing the 1~-1,
Single-family Residential Zoning District reguiations. Because of the gene/'ally smaller and
narrower lot sizes in Rancho Rinconada,. this are~ may warrant a special zoning designation or
slightly different zo,~ini/development standards.
Annexation is the legislative process of including ~r adding lands to a city, and thereby bringing
it under the land use and general governance authority of thc City. Lands must be prezoned
before they can be annexed. The State. Legislat'u~ e~acted special legislation for Santa Clara
County. that gave the authority for conducting annexation proceedings involving urban pockets
within city urban service areas to the individual city councils no~ LAFCO.
Kefening to. Exhibit A. the first step is the public, notice sent to all property owners and residents ·
.~ ~.~ in the affected territory. A public hearing(s) is held before the City Council and public testimony
:.:."::t~.' is taken. The written protests are received by the. City Clerk and the public' hearing is closed.
Written protests are thezi vali~ted and counted. The A,~nexation must be submit~ to ~ vote of
the regist .e. red voters within the pocket if either of the following occurs:
· 1. Written protests are received and not withdrawn f~om at least 25%, but less than $0% of the
registered voters residing within the affected territory, or
2. Written profests'are received and 'not withdrawn f~om at: least 25% of the number of
landowners who also own at least 25% of the assessed value of land within the affected
te.~it:ory.
Stat,' law is very specific about the information that mus~ be contained in a written protest.
Missing information can invalidate a writt~.n protest. Written protest requirements are shown in.
,:i~ "~ Exhibit H. If an election is required, the City would incur election costs ~stimated at $0.20 per.
~- :'i" :' ballot for a regular election, and $2.50 per ballot for a special election plus setup costs.
For all three pockets, if written protests are received and not withdrawn from mom than 50% of
the registered voters within, the affected territory, the annexation proceedings for that: pocket am
terminated without an election.
TiminR
S~t:~ can begin a City-initiat~ pmzoni,~g and annexation program once it receives City Council
authorization. If the recommended annexation strategy is adopted, staff can star~ the prezoning
project for one pocket in late February 1995 and conclude the prezoning by May/June 199~, a 3
and ½ month process. Axmexation is a sequential process and follows after environmental review
and prezoning actions have been taken. ~,n annexation hearing can be held in mid-summer. If
there is insufficient pro,est to ~quire an election, the auncxation will be effective by October
1998.
Re~:ommended Principles to Guide A,,i~exation
Since a large scale, City-initiated armexation of urhan pockets has not occurred irt Cupertino in
many years and since .-nexatlon policies and processes can be comp!icated, it may be desirable
to establish some basic principles to guide thc overall process before b6ginning prezouing and
annexation lzarings affectin~ individual pockets.
Principle #1: All of the residents within the three pockets should have an
opportunity to'snner~
· Principle #1 is recommended in r~co~nition of the fa~t that annexation opportunities such as
those currently available are a very rare occurrence. Conse. quently, these opportunities should be
afforded to all residents ~ithin the thr~e pockets that have been the focus of this special joint
City/Coimty study.
Princ. iple #:la: An..nexa~o? of pocke.ts should result in logical City boundaries which
· .,a. ~ are easy to se~ice,
Principle #:lb: Annexation of Garden Gate and Rancho Rincouada should generally
occur in large, couti~uous blocks aud not on a piecemeal basis.
Parcel-by-psrcd annexation should only be considered by the City
when it results in logical City boundaries which are eas~ to service
"- and does uot create additional pockets.
Principles ~2a and #2b expresses the previous City Council's desire to not follow'the incremental
Monta Vista model in conducting A~exations. The f~-~m~ ented, confusing and inefficient system
cf govt,.merit se.~ice responsibilities these checkerboard A~xation patterns create has
ongoing, adverse consequences for the community, the City, the County and other service
providers. Thes~ adverse consequences will continue for debacles until the entire pocket has been
annexed.
"'> ~ Kesidents and property owner~ suffer under such conditions since there is no single locul
government to which they can turn to address the concerns and needs of their neithborhocds.
With checkerboard ~,~nexation pa~-n~, even simple, local problems may require coordinated,
interjurisdictional action dispropo~onate to the magnitude of the problem.
Parcel-by-pamel annexations in Crarden Crate and Rancho Rinconada should be carefull~
scrutinized for their longer-term effects. Sta~ feels a piec~neal approach to annexation is onl~
warranted under special circum.,~,,~es and under certain conditions. For encarnpl¢, annexing a
pocket area to unsure that !e redeveloping use is consistent with the City's teneral plan land
use policies.
This situation is applicable to~ 1) the unincorporated section of the Stev~us Cre~k corridor in
Rancho Rinconada which is developed with numerous .older, single-family residences, but is '
planned for nonresidential or higher density residential in the City; and :l) the county-
conumcrcially zoned properties in C-arde~ ~ate (Party Am~ica site) which has bcen planned for a
low density residential use or a tiublic/q .u.asi-public use in the City for more than a decade.
Principle//3: In Moats V. ista, opportunities should be provided for individual
.. property owners to annex (and where possible adjacent parcels.should
be included to create logical annexation boundaries.)
Because ~f past piecemeal annexation practices in Moats V/sm over a long period of time, the
opportunity to create some rational Boundaries in Moats Vista has Iong since past. Due to Moats
Vista's' unique history, h is unrealistic to. expect that all of Monta Visa can be annexed during
this current effort.'
Nonethales-~, there are some Moats Vista residents who are interested in aanexin~ to ~{~penino
and many others who have expressed no preference one way or the other. These residents should
be Provided with the opportunity to annex, notwithstanding the ~ppnsition of others in their
neighborhood.
.'f~.ff[.::['. ',.~.. A measured, mor~ proactive anuexation approach by the City is warranted to solve thc
i;~,., jurisdictional confusion and inefficiencies of the current situation City staff also hopes to work
with County staff to identifT oilier ak,tagies the County can implement to accelerate the
annexation of Moats Vista.
· Principle//4: State Law Guides th,~ Annexation Process
Existing s~ate law presents adequate end reasonable guidance in determining what lcvel of
community support is required for au auncxation to occur---and it does so in v~ays that take into
account thc need for logical and efficient w-,~cipal boundaries, the need for efficient armexation
processcs,.and the fights of the residents to have a meaningful voice in annexation decisions.
State lav~ implicitly recognizes that 100% ~ommunity support for annexation is an unrealistic and
.:/~ ~) . unattainable standard, and therefore does not require unanimous consenL
· ')"~' ' State law also contains an implicit presumption ~at s,~r~exation of urban pockets is in the overall
public good because it allows for more efficient delivery of services and clearer governmental
responsibilities. Thus, it puts the burden of proof on opponents of annexation to demonstrate that
there is significant commun/ty opposition, rather than on the proponents to demonstrate
significant community support.
It also contains the implicit presumption that voter silence moans consent. Thus, those not
e×pressifig their explicit opposition to annexation ate presumed to be providing their consent for
it to occur.
If there is greater than 215% and less than '~0% protest, the decision making authority is given to
the voters to decide.' Thus, if it is de. monslrated that there is significant neighBorhood opposition
to annexation, it is the community itself that makes the annexation decision. Thc City Council
c~n terminate the annexation process until the election is held. Once the election is held, thc
City is bound by the ~esults of the elect/op.

.neighbors to also annex to the City. The pros and cons of this approach can be discussed in.
detail at a subseqt/ent City Council meeting.
2. Conduct City-Initiated Annexation Hearings at No Cost to Property Owners
Throughout' th'.e public 'outreach process over She past six months, it has been emphasized that
there would be no costs to pocket residents if th~ annexed in conjunction with a city-initiated
process; Most costs a~ fixed axed not geared toward the size of the annexed tenitory.
l~ec~mmended Specific Annexatio.n Procedures
Rancho l~,inconada
1. City-Initi~teii A?e~aduns
a. Since residents have already expressed a stron~ interest in annexation, hold
City-initiau~l prezoning and annexation heari~s for the cntir~ area at no cost
to property owners.
b. If a~t election is.~quired and ,n,~a~fion of the ~ntim area fails, then examine if there · '
was strong support in a sub-area contiguous to the City and annex that portion at a later
date.
(Note: State law requires the City to wait one year before bringing
back a proposal to annex any or all ofa~ area.where annexation was rejected by the
¥Oters.)
2. Property Own'r-Initiated Annexations (including development-related annexations)
a. No provisions should be made for parcel-by-parcel, property owner-initiated annexations
in Rancho .l~tconada, except for areas prezoned "P' where annexation is a requirement
· of redevelopment.
b. Properties in unamaexad areas ar~ allowed to developed in the County under County
development standards.
Garden Gate
1. City-Initiated Annexations.
a. If the Rancho Rincenada annexation is successful, encourage (5arden Oate residents to
petition for ,,n-exatiun, then initiate prezoning and annexation of the entire ama or in
logical, contiguous blocks at.no cost to prop~ty owners.
2, Property Owner-Initiated A.t{nexatio .ns (including development -misted annexations)
a~ No provision should be made for parcel-by-parcel, property owner-initiated
~ annexations in Garden Gate, except to ensure that redeveloping uses are consistent with
the City's .General Plan policies, the annexation creates logical, contiguous, service
boundaries and, does not create additional prickers.
b. Properties in unamtexed areas are allowed to developed in the County under County
· · development stand/zcls.
Monta Vista
1. City-Initiated A~,~,xations
a. Sand invitations .(with a return postcard) to all property owners inviting
them to indicate their desire to be. snnexed (or not to be annexed). Based
on responses, City should conduct annexation proceedings for those pockets or
portions of pockets where a majorit7 (silant and favoring) exists, at no cost to the
property owners.
,.4¥ ~ ' 2. Property Owner-Initiated Annexations (including developmant-related annexations)
· . For those parcels not annexed duri~ this process, s~ex them as they are developed or as
future owners request =~-nmtion. invite pocket neighbors to piggy-back on applicant-
sn,~exation at no cost to the neighboring property owners.
b. As an alternativ.e, th~ City will waive its annexation fee and pay Count~ and state
annexation fees i.fthe applicant persuades a sufficiant number of pocket property owners
to annex their proper'ties with the applicant.
c. City staff should work with County st~to devise additional Cou/tty-implemanted
inducements to annexation
Staff recommends that the City Council:
· 1) Endorse the described annexation sa~egy for the Cupertino unincorporated pockets of
Monta Vista, Garden Gate snd l~ancho P-,Jnc~nada and that strategy include the following
elements:
A. Guiding Annexation Principles,
B. The (3eneral Annexation Procedures and
C. The Specific Am~exation Procedures
2) Authot'ize stuff to knplement this ~.k,~gy by initiating a prezonin~ hearing for Rancho.
Rinconada, and upon completion, return ~o Council to Lnifiate subsequent annexation proceedings
for thc area.

effort that company is making to~'b'~~nk,~I!lsrH, t,( ..,.,,S..~.~tt~_~.,c.o..n.c_urred with the
) Discussion of m~.nsxation ak~teg7 for unincorporated pockets in Cupertino.
Community Development Director Bob Cowan reviewed the staff report. He said the
pockeB include the Rsncho ltitlconsl~ ~re~, which i$ actually four separate subdivisions;
the O~rden Crate ~r~a; and Monta Vista, which is 'a unique situation because of the long
pattern of development which has ulre~d7 tatken place them, which huu created 20
separate islands. The county initiated the program and is working with the city to conduct
community meetings regarding possible annexation. Cowan reviewed a chart showing the
... x next steps in the process, beginning with prezoning. Everyone within the proposed
-_...¢...at unnexation area plus a 300 foot radius ~round them will be notified of the prezoning
heau4.ng if th~. c0mcil ~cid~ to pmc~d.
Ms. Jennifer Orit~'on said that zoning of the lt~ncllo Rinconada are~ will be ~dressed on
Thm'sclay at un ~I1 d~y meeting. The residents want the zoning changed so thet they can
protect some of the current standards. She is pm'ticularly concerned about the throe-
month lag bec~nse a lot of homes have been demolished in the last week. She hoped
there would be an ~grecment between the city and the county to ohmg¢ the county zoning
as quickly as po~iblc to better match the Cites stendards.
Mr. Steve Smith, 18831 Hunter Way, said he was one of five spewers tonight
represeatting und ad hoc committee culled the Rancho Pock~ gnnexation Committee
'which is advocating u~nexation- Their main issues are redevelopment in n~w homing
- construction, protection of street trees md heritage trees, md urban blight. I-Ie said that
(.'..-') the problems in this neighborhood m very much lil~ the problems which the City of
Cupertino has ~iread7 begun to address. Smith gave ~n overview of the histou of
Rancho Rinconada and said that economic m~trket forces h~ve triggered redevelopment
with extremely l~rge houses. Existing Santa Clm County housing standards ailow
houses to be built right up to setbacks and heights up'to 35 feet, and these housas intrude
on the residents' enjoyment of the neighborhood. There are aiso issues about housing
· style; some people prefer to preserve the more rustic atmosphere, and they want some
protection of their views md ~ylight ~ccess. The trees ~re protected by the County
ordinance, but there is a consistent lack of enforcement to the point that developers
openly disregard the orHinunee.
Ms. Maxine Lahesh ~/i[l that one the Rancho Pocket committee has ~t up a committee,
._ circulated petitions, md in conjunction with the neighborhood association, has started to
achieve understanding and commitment within their ¢0mrrul0ity. She compared the four
major points of incorponttion from 1954 with the major points for annexation in 1998.
The currant goals are t6 preserv, the residential atmosphere; permit residents to receive
maximum protection from the encroachment of unsupervised development end a potential
destruction of longqstablisbed community and environmental benefits; bring local

problems under local control by local representation in government.; and to fulfill the
long-term goal of the City of Cupertino to .nnex Rancho tUnconada and stimulate a
common community spirit within the City's sphere of influence. She noted that last year
she attempted to join the City's Parks and Kecreation Commission but was not allowed to
do so be.cause she was not a Cupertino resident. This policy does not coincide with the
City's long-term goal to stimulate a common community.
Ms. Cathy Thalar, 10115 Stem, commented on the number of changes in this community
which included physical, emotional, and financial changes. It is the council's public trust
to insure that the financial well-being of Cupertino residents is always considered. Based
on the report, it would cost just under $35 per house to .,~,~ex. She conducted an informal
survey of about 75% of the neighborhood ~nd found 5 for-sale signs, 1] cleared lots with
some foundation present, 15 homes in various stages of building construction, 40 houses
~,~.~.[~ that are less than twelve months old, and about//0 homes that have already been
· -i- remodeled. All of these houses will add to the properly tax basis'and even at a'2.2%
percent increase, it would more than cover the $35 per house cost.
Mr. Marc Auerbach, discussed the committee's pro/tess with the l~etitin~. Some
petitions and polls were already included in the council backup materials, and a number
of additional homes have since been polled. He showed a map illustrating the area where
they had polled· 594 houses. They received 351responses, with $8 percent in favor of
annexation, 16 percent opposed, and 26 percent undecided. He added that the support for
annexation is not restricted to only one pocket in Rancho Rinconada.
Mr. Wayne ~eichel, 10557 Gascoi~ne, said that he purchased his home in Rancho
Rinconada because it offered excellent schools for his daulehter, had an excellent location,
and he perceived it to be a comrmlnlty which was improving rather than decaying.
.~.. "[] Althoul,,h k has a colorful history and there is some undesirable redevelopment goin~ on,
.. ;;. most of it is attractive and positiv~ for the neighborhood. The majority of tear-downs and
re-builds are homes which were not well maintained. Hew homes mingled with the older,
well-maints;ned homes, continue to enhance the community. He said that Rancho
Rinconada will be a valuable addition to the city. He said the neighborhood association is
dedicated to briv~$ the community together and keepiniz the residents informed of
neighborhood issues. Quarterly presentations have included emergency preparedness,
neighborhood watch, trash pickup and recyclins:, and annexation. They also produced the
quarterly Town Crier newsletter and maintain a neighborhood e-mail list to distribute
news. He said that annexation of the entire Rancho Rinconada area should take place at
once and not piecemeal because it would be counterproductive to their efforts to bring the
neighborhood together: .The most oppomme time to proceed is now while information is
fresh.
Mr. Al DeRidder, 19146 Anne Lane, said that he had forwarded a letter to council which
was in their packet. He read a copy of that letter and said that he was not opposed to the
annexation but objected to the method o['implementing the process. He believed that the
residents of the affected area should have a right to vote on the matter. He conducted a
· survey of neighbors along Tantau Avenue. Of the 30-35 pcopl? he spoke to, only 3 were

Applicant: City of Cupertino
Location: Area generally bounded by Greenleaf Drive, Beardon Drive,
Eleada Drive, Hazalbrook Drive, Ann Arbor Drive, Gardean
Drive and Stalling Road (commonly known as Garden Gate)
City initiated prczoning to Pre-RI-10 (single-family residential prozoning district) of
approximately 107 acres commonly known as Garden Gate
Tentative City Council date: April 16, 2001
Chair Kwok noted for the record that the application was an RI-10 single-family residential
prezoning with a minimum of 10,000 square feet; not annexation. He said thc annexation hearing
would be heard by City Council as early as mid-June; however, the public was welcome to present
testimony about annexation, although no action would be taken on annexation.
Staff orcsentation: Mr. Colin Jung, Senior Planner, reviewed the history of City Council action
taken regarding annexation of county pockets, as outlined in the attached staff report. Referring to
the Garden Gate Zoning Plat Map, Mr. Jung reviewed the City and County Zoning Standards,
Assignment of Minimum Lot Sizes, and Legal Nonconformity as outlined in thc steff report. I-lc
clarified that the prezoning has no legal effect on thc properties until such time as the City Council
decides to proceed with thc annexation of the property, which could start as early as mid-May,
with a potential annexation hearing date of mid-June. Mr. Jung answered questions relating to lot
sizes, legal nonconformity issues and noticing requirements.
Chair Kwok clarified that the two actions before the Planning Commission were the approval or
denial of the negative declaration for the prezoning project; and the approval or denial 'of thc
prezoning in accordance with the model ordinance.
Chair Kwok opened the public hearing.
Mr. Steve Piasncki,'Dircctor of Community Development, clarified that the action by the Planning
Commission was a recommendation to City Council on the prezoning, not taking final action on
prczoning; the City Council will take the final action to approve or deny the prezoning.
Mr. Les Bowers, 21181 I-Iazelbrook Drive, Cupertino, representing the Garden Gate Neighbors
For Annexation, a group within Garden Gate, said that he had been active in the neighborhood
support group for a considerable time, and reported that back in December 1999 thcre was a
Planning Commission Minutes 3 March 26, 2001
.- l~etition of 62 names submitted in favor of annexation to the city, and that there was residential
favorable action prior to that date. He said when annexing Rancho Rinconada, things got quletcr
in Garden Gate and they became motivated when the county came out with the Garden Gate
Annexation Answer Book. The neighborhood organization has bonn active in soliciting thc
neighborhood, passing out fliers, eliciting interest of other residents in the neighborhood relative
to taking action toward annexation. He said they have met with considerable success and will
complete tho activity and summarize it to the city in May and June. Mr. Bowers said that Garden
Gate is close to Stevens Creek, bounded by Highways 85 and 280, is close to Memorial Park.
DeAnza College, and groat schools, and all of thosa things put them in a favorable position with
realtors. Ho asked that the city move as quickly as possible for annexation so that the futnre and
final development of (]arden (]ate can be a balanced type of project that would provide integration
and a great neighborhood to live in.
Mr. Jim Limbaratos, 20724 Garden (]ate Drive, said he was in favor of annexation, which would
provide tho opportunity to vote for the people in office and different propositions affecting thc
area and residents.
Mr. Mihai Buffs, 20917 O~nleaf Drive, said that he was opposed to annexation. He referred to
the Answer Book and presented a rebut~l to tho eight benefits listed. He said of the eight
benefits, he found benefit Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, $ and 7 to be abs~a'act and intangible. He questioned how
to measure tho eff~tiveness, and said tho language relating to the statement that there would not
be significant increase in taxes worried him. He said he did not sen the concrete benefits of street
sweeping and crossing guards as a problem (benefits 6 and 8); and questioned if strent sweeping
was really necessary; end said there was already a crossing guard provided. He commented that il'
-- the listed benefits were the most impottsnt benefits of annexation, were they really worth thc
trouble. He said he was not convinced that the benefits listed warranted annexation and he would
like to sec benefits. Mr. Beffa said that he had a personal concern relative to the issue of past
variances for future buildings; since he had variances on both sides and was not aware of how it
would be affected by annexation.
Mr. Piasecki suggested that Mr. Beffa arrange to meet with Mr..lung to review ~he Answer Book
and address his issues ofconccre.
Mrs. Jessica Rose, 10410 Ann Arbor Avenue, said that she was part ufa group of young families
in the neighborhood, who were concerned about safety issues, and felt the city would be more
responsive than the county on enforcement of issues relative to safety, crossing guards and speed
limits. She said as new development occurs, there is an opportunity to improve the neighborhoud,
and currently the existing residents are not being considered. She said she felt the city would bo
more considerate of the existing residents when building homes relative to issues of safety and
privacy.
Ms. Melissa Hilton, 20861 Fargo Drive, an area resident for 16 years, said that she has seen thc
area grow considerably in traffic and would like to petkion for annexation. She clarilqcd that she
was part ufa group that worked for $ yenrs on getting a crossing guard, and said it took that long
for the city and county to agree on a one-year temporary payment. She said there has been
significant decrease in problems and the crossing guard is an important issue as a child was hit a
few years ago while crossing Stelling Road. She said that it would not be a permanent guard
*- unless annexation takes place. Ms. Hilton said that issues such as safety and cleaner streets would
be part of the city, and she looked forward to having guidelines for development of new homes
Planning Commission Minutes 4 March 26~ 2001
which the city currently has. She said she was hopeful for annexation to the city of Cupertino, m
reap those benefits.
Ms. Anna Polman-Black, 21118 Gardens Drive, asked if they were considering annexing the other
half of Gardens Dri~ve, and said she would be in favor of annexation of thc other half. She said it
would eliminate the car cemeteries in the neighborhood and the homes with 8 or more cars parked
in front. Mr. Piesecki said that the particular portion of Gardens would be part oftbe prezoning
action presented this evening, and eventually part of the future annexation effort.
Mr. Robert Stein, 20731 Fargo Drive, said that a previous speaker referred to the concerted eltbrt
being made to approach those people who live in the neighborhood regarding annexation, and said
he had not been approached by either side. He said he shared the same sentiments of an curlier
speaker, and in reading the annexation booklet, found many of the references to be vague, not
specific, except the most tangible, the street crossing guard. He said he reiterated at thc last
meeting that he did not understand why tho crossing guard is not a school district issue, why they
do not provide a crossing guard, or why it is not a staff person's duty to supervise the children's
crossing. Relative to the issue of street improvements, in the booklet presented, he said he raised
the issue, if additional street lighting was going to be put in, street repairs made and repavcd as
required, would the city do it; what would the timeframe be for the work and would thc residents
at least be informed when the repaying would be done. Mr. Stein pointed out that the streets are
very clean as the residents sweep the curbing around their homes, and hc said he was not
convinced that the street sweeping was necessary as a supposed benefit of annexation. Hc
questioned wbethet there would be additional street lighting, and was informed that it would have
to be a bond issue or something the residents paid for themselves. He concluded that he was not
convinced that annexation was beneficial at this point.
Chair Kwok closed the public hearing.
Com. Auerbach clarified that it was a prezoning for Garden Gate, not an annexation hearing, and
thanked thc speakers for their comments and opinions, and said there would be continued
opportunity to debate both sides in tho future. He pointed out that the Planning Commissioners
were looking for findings of whether the prezoning meets the criteria set forth; He said he Iblt ii
met the findings on all five counts and was in conformance with the General Plan, Ho said in
terms of making the boundaries of Cupertino more regular and being able to service the pocket
neighborhoods, the properties were thc right size and shape, uniform in nature and sit well with
the existing ordinances. It also encourages appropriate use of land as they discuss the kinds of
things they are attempting to do in Cupertino relative to the new urbanist principles that having
controls over thc various boundaries here, being able to work both sides oftbe streeL as it were, is
very important to that and to maintain the strength of neighborhoods because.thc neighborhood is
affected by the surrounding area. Com. Auerbach said it was not detrimental to the health and
safety of anyone and does contribute to the orderly development of the city.
Com. Patooe concurred with Com. Auerbach's comments and said he felt they should also
consider filling in the pocket mentioned by Ms. Polman-Black as there were issues about thc
community that go beyond the issue of street sweeping or crossing guards, which include
consistency and making Cupertino a livable place, friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Com.
Patooc said he was hopeful that the project would move forward, and although not discussin§
annexation, the opportunity was provided to make a statement about it in this forum.

Com. Corr said that he found the conditions wera met and if it was to move forward, there was
support that the RI-10 zoning is the appropriate zoning for recommendation to the City Council

Piasecki reported that the Planning Commission recommendation is tentatively scheduled to bo
heard by thn City Council on April 26th, and invited persons interested in addressing thc City
Council on the topic to attend that meeting. Chair If, wok noted that tbe matter could be appealed

SUMMARY
AGENDA NO. ~/~ AGENDA DATE May 7, 2001
SUMMARY: APPEAL of Planning Co~nmission Denial of Use Permit application14-U-98(M) a
modification to Use Permit 14-U-98 for a new landscaping plan and creation of a tot lot and other
amenities.
Applicant: Claris Weaver, Prometheus
ProperOg Owner: Lake Biltmore Apartraems, a California Corporation
Property Location: 10159 South Bla~ey Avenue, corner of Rodrigues Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council can take any of the following actions:
1. Uphold the appeal and overturn the Planning Commission decision, thereby approving the revised
landscaping plan to remove the ponds.
2. Deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission decision, thereby denying the revised
landscaping plan.
3.Continue the application for more information or refer it back to the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND:
The Biltmore apartment complex was constructed in 1970. At that time, water features (man-made
ponds) were considered a popular amenity for tenants. The applicant now considers the man-made
ponds outdated, difficult to maintain and a liability for small children. Consequently, the applicant is
proposing to remove all the ponds and replace the area with lawn, rocks, plants and shrubs, and a tot-
lot or play area as shown on the preliminary landscape plan (Sheet-l). Removal of the water requires
no other agency permits. The applicant has described the project modifications in the attached project
description.
On March 26, 2001, the Planning Commission denied the modification of use permit 14-U-98 to
remove the ponds and re-landscape the Biltraore Apaxtments, per the attached Resolution No. 6084.
Staff originally recommended approval of the application. The applicant subsequently appealed the
denial and is asking the City Council to overturn the Planning Commission decision and approve the
application.

DISCUSSION:
Waterway Removal:
In 1998, Prometheus added 24 units to the development and proposed draining the ponds to facilitate
the construction of the new units. As part of the 1998 development proposal, Prometheus
commissioned an ornithologist (bird specialist) report to determine the method and permitting
requirements for duck removal. The 1998 survey showed 37 mallard ducks on-site. The ducks were
both domestic and semi-wild stock. As part of the 1998 use permit application, the applicant requested
permission to drain the ponds as par~ of the landscape plan. However, the Planning Commission and
City Council denied this request. During the construction of the 24 new units, the property owner
drained ail but one of the ponds. Thirty-three of the mallard ducks were semi-wild, and when thc
ponds were drained they most likely flew offto another local water arch. The 3 domestic birds were to
be removed by a wildlife handler, tested for disease and euthanized. Prometheus states that all the
ducks have left the property by their own volition.
Given mating and feather molting season, the ornithologist made recommendations on when the ponds
may be drained. Prometheus plans on following these recommendations should the ducks return. A
condition of approval in the model resolution integrates the ornithologist's recommendations.
Amenities:
The removal of the waterways allows for the addition of amenities the applicant believes will add to
the residents' quality of life. A tot-lot, or play area, will be added to the property near the existing
swimming pool. Also being proposed are several barbecue grills, picnic benches and park benches that
will be scattered throughout the site. The new landscape area (drained ponds) accounts for 30,200
square feet ( 7/10 ths of an acre) of the ten acre site.
Resident Survey:
A resident survey, reviewed by city staff, was distributed to each of the 111 occupied units in
November 2000. Of the 54 responses (48.6% response rate) the property manager received, 42
households supported the proposed landscape modifications, nine preferred the existing landscaping
with waterways and three had no preference.
Site Drainage:
The applicant has met with the City Engineer to discuss the removal of the ponds and the et]Eet on the
site drainage. The Public Works staff believes that the proposed site drainage will not pose a problem.
However, they would like the applicant to assure them that the elimination of the ponds will not
increase runoff. An appropriate condition of approval has been added to the model resolution.
Planning Commission Meeting
On March 26, 2001, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed modification to the' use permit.
Three of the five commissioners believe that the lakes provide a unique ambiance that some tenants
and neighbors find appealing (see at~ached letters). Also, some of the commissioners were concerned
by the fact that the lakes were drained despite a Plann'mg Commission denial of a previous request to
drain the ponds.

APPEAL of Planning Cor~mlssion Denial of Use P~rmit applicationl 4-U-98(M)
May 7, 2001
· -- Model Conditions of Avoroval
Should ~e City Council choose to approve the modifications W the use permit, staff has enclosed some
conditions of approval that should be considered. Mosl of the conditions are standard; however, one
addresses pedesu-ian access on the site. The condition r~uires the applicant add a walkway along the
western edge of the parcel from Rodrigues Avenue tI~ough the parking lot to the gate being provided
by Pinn Brothers on the Adobe Inn site and a walkway from the western property edge to Blaney
Avenue.
The city council has repeatedly stressed the importance of the public accessing walkways through
developments. The city required the Pinn Brothers to record a similar pedestrian easement when they
applied to construct a hotel on the Adobe Inn site adjacent to the Billmore. The pedestrian easement
allows pedestrians to walk from Stevens Creek Boulevard through the hotel site to the Biltmore
propel~y.
Initially, staffrecommandad the walkway be available to the general public to walk from Rodrigues to
Stevens Creek Boulevard. The pedestrian would save about ~A mile if they were able to walk through
the Biltmore Apa~huent site instead of walking around to Blaney Avenue and then back down Stevens
Creek Boulevard. The applicant opposed the condition and staff suggested the Planning Commission
amend the condition to apply only to residents of the Biltmore Apartments instead of the general
public.

EXHIBIT A
January 31, 2001 - Revised
We are requesting an amendment to development approval applications 14-U-gg and 31-BA-98
and are proposing the following new landscape plan at the existing Biltmore Apa,h,~ents:
The existin~ man-made lakes are proposed to be filled with appropriate ~l material and
landscaped over in order to create more useable open space for the residents. The existing man-
made lakes are a dated amenity that result in a waste of a Iremendous quantity of water and
significantly limit the amount of useable open space for residents. A portion of the newly created
useable open space will be used for a new children's "tot-lot" with play equipment, two water
features, grass meadow areas, picnic areas with picnic tables, benches, harbeques; all of these
planned amenities are to be for the enjoyment oftbe project's residents.
Prelin,.inar~ landscape and drainage plans accompany this apphcation. The draiuage plans reflect
a pre-application moeting with Ralph Quails and Carmen Lynaugh on lanuary 23, 2001.
Wc have dislribuied a stu-wey, reviewed and approved by the City prior to distribution, to each of
the 111 l~amts currently livir~ at the property. Due to the current interior remodeling and
exterior residing we have 48 vacant units. Copies oftbe responses received back were given to
Vera (Sil at our pre-appliustion meeting, lanuary 2, 2001. The surveys were dislributed by our
site management staff, door-to-door, in early November 2000. Tenants were also contacted by
phone and encouraged to respond to the survey. Ample time has been given for response. Of the
54 responses (representing ,18.6% of the occupied apartments) we received: 42 prefer the new
plan, 9 prefer the existing plan, and 3 have no opinion one way or the other. We have concluded
that the residents that did not respond to the survey most likely did not have a slrong opinion on
the subject.
The tenant population at this complex has changed since the time of our ofigiual development
approvals. We now have many more children. Of the total current tenant population of 2.46, we
have 68 children. T~s lanclseape plan will give them a place to play safely.
To accommodate the construction work on the exterior of the buildings, we drained all but one of
the lakes on the property when we began construction in May 2000. Most of the ducks left the
property at the time the lakes were drained. At one point in our cur~nt exterior consU'uetion all
of the ducks had left the property. If any ducks are present at the time we are allowed to proceed
with this proposal, we will follow the procedures outlined in the October 21, 1998 report from the
Coyote Creek Riparian Station (copy attached).
We have discussed the issue of pedestrian access with our neighbors developing the Adobe Hotel
project. Both ownership parties determined the pedestrian gate wouldnot he advisable for either
the hotel or our apartment community as there would not be an appreciable benefit for the hotel
guests or apartment residents. Please see the attached letter to Colin Sung, dated October 31,
2000.

Re: Lake Biltmore Landscaping
I continue to oppose removal of the lakes at Lake Billmore as follows:
I. This is tho developers' second nm at removing the lakes. Aider their first
· DrRined most lakes aid turned them into an eyesore
· Subjected the residents to months ofcon,i~uction
· Scared residents with their asbestos removal techniques, then
· Asked them if they wanted their envirol~ment improved.
Presenting the inevitable "YES" vote ss s petition to remove the lakes is a
sha~
2. The "petltioa' as presented fails to meet the standards muuily required by
the City. It contains clearly biased leading questions carefully scripted to mask
the smwey's intended use, not the explicit v~ording normally required in City
petitions. (See attached examples)
3. Lake Biltmore has enhanced this neighborhood. The proposed conversion has
no eom.nelllnl! l'easola and will make the development indistinguishable from
other apa~iment developments that normslly add little to a neighborhood.
This developer has shown how little they can be trusted by their repeated violations
while removing asbestos from the apa~,,,ents. They are not a good neighbor, not any
friend of Cupertino, and not deserving of any lrust or accommodation by the City. I
ask that you reject this petition and direct them to complete the plan as previously
approved.

the value of aesthetics, it was so gratifying to hear Mr. Patnoe acknowledge that aesthetics are
important.
I pwfoundly thank you for your integrity and courage in doing the right thing with Prometheus' latest
petition. If we can continue to be vigilant about Prometheus' end-mn attempts, we will have ensured
that Cupertino continues to have a lovely oasis in a largely concrete, impersonal age. I honestly
believe that keeping Lake Biltmore's park-like ambiance is key to keeping Cupertino's "heart" alive.
It's not only balm to the people who live here, but its tall ~rees and silly ducks provide a smile to
many work-weary commuters heading down Rodrigues or Blaney Avenue.
Thank you for making a decision that respects people's need for beauty and character around their
homes.
By the way, I think a compromise is certainly possible whereby some lakes are preserved and some
are cunvetied to play or picnic areas. The lake closest to the pool and club house is the most visible
and I would hope, the most important to retain.
Sincerely,
Barbera I..angworthy

4. Application'llo.: 14-U-98(M)
_ Applicant: Lake Biltmore Apartments
Location: 10159 So. Blaney Avenue
Modification to a Use Permit for a new landscaping plan and creation of a tot lot and other
amenities.
Planning Commission decision unless appealed
Postpaned from March 12, 2001 Planning Commission meeting
Staff presentation: The video presentation reviewed the application for a modification to a Use
Permit for a new landscaping plan and creation of a tot lot. The applicant also proposes to remove
the waterways and replace with lawns, plants and shrubs. Staff recommends approval of the
application iu accordance with thc model resolution.
]Vis. Vera Gil, Senior Planner, referred to the site plan, reviowed the background of the application
and illustrated the location of the proposed amenities and landscaped areas. She reviewed thc
1998 Planning Commission and City Council antion to deny the request to drain the ponds.
However, during thc construction of the 24 new units to the development, all but one pond was
drained. Staff is also recommending that a pedestrian pathway be provided allowing individuals
to enter through the Adobe Inn site and walk out to Stevens Creek Boulevard and also a path
allowing individuals to cut through to Blaney Avenue.
Ms. '~i1 reviewed the reasoas for the previous Planning Commission's denial to remove the ponds
_ from the apartment ~omplex site. She said that the applicant surveyed the present tenants of the
Plennin~ Commission Minutes 6 March 26, 2001
ap~,t~,lent complex relative to the proposed removal of the ponds, and out 0t' 54 responses
received, only 9 were opposed to the new plans 1o remove the ponds. She noted that the swim
pool would be fenced off.from the tot lot for safety purposes.
Com. Corr expressed concern that the original application to ~emove the water ponds was denied
by the Planning Commission and the City Council, and the result being that during construction of
the new units, the applicant drained the ponds and is now submitting another application to
remove the drained ponds from the landseapinl~, tvis. Gil said it was her understanding that it was
unclear to tho applicant that they should not drain the ponds during construction. Immediately
ai~r the ponds were drained, some residents notified the Planning Department, and staff worked
out an asreemant with the Biltmore management that at least one pond should remain in tact. Thc
applicant wes notified that they would have to apply to lhc Planning Commission to re-iaudseapq
the area if'they did not fill tho ponds with water. Com. Auerbanh said that it was not clear why
thc ponds had to be drained to facilitate access 5y construction equipment, as he did not sec any
ponds with bulldozer tracks or co,ers to accommodate heavy equipment.
Mr. Rod Standard, Sr. Vice President of Promethius, said that his history with the company
included working on the original development which created.the lakes at the complex over 20
7care ago. He said the current proposal is in keeping with today's market demand and the
applicant's intent to upgrade a result of thirty years et' wear, tear and obsolescence on the
property. The inke systems originally incorporated in the landscape .at Biltmore are obsolete, and
he said he felt lhey were an affront to .resource conservation because of' thc type of. design,
configuration and size. He said it was also riifficult to ignore the environmental concerns involved
with managing an open body ofwatar such as the ponds. He said it was the owner's position that
thc landscape area currently consumed by the current water features could be more wisely put to
use to better 5enefit the property ud better serve the residents of'tho apartments.- Piaus include
converting the space into not only open space, incorporating new plant material, but also to create
resident usable features, including tabins, benches, BBQs, children*s play area and two hard
surf`see fountains that will sewe to offset the white noise created by the water. He reviewed the
updates to the pmpe~'ty, including washe~ and dp/ers in ali the units, secured covered garages,
improved interior finishes of'the units and the clubhouse, and complete overhaul of the complex.
He noted that the complex was now known as Biltmore..
Mr. Standard noted that the applicant was opposed to the ri~luiremant for an easement through the
property, lie said they felt it would not serve the property or create a sa~e environment, and said
there ,,vas a practical formal roatter of'not being able to Bet approval for such an ensoment through
the lender. IMf. Piasecki noted that relative to the easement requirement, thc condition was
reworded to state that it would be an agreement between the property owner and the city, and there
would be no fc~nal recorded eesencnt on the property.
Ms. Wordcll clarified that there may have been an inf'ercnce that the reaidants were not polled
previously, and that is why they were polled this time. She said when the previous application
was submitted, the residents were in favor of the ponds remaining; and it was important to staf~ to
~et another reading since the Planning Commission overturned the staff' position which had
previously recommended that they could remove the ponds. The second polling revealed there ·
was more support ~or removal of'the ponds.
lVlr. Slanderd explained ~at the times have changed; s~ating that type of' amenity is much more ~t'

attractive; lifestyles hsve also changed and the resident profile of L~k¢ Biltmore changed as weU:
combined they create an environment where he said he beli~ed the lakes are not an attractive
amenity, lie said there would be some people who would prefer to look out across an expansive
water ~'eaturc in an spat~nent complex, buthe felt it was a minority.
Cora. Auerbach disc~_~d the sample of the survey provided by Mr. Monk and said that the
amenities wore listed and choices were not actually listed. Mr. Standard explained that thc City
Council required that the applicant design the survey and they asked For approval rites on the
survey. The survey was presented and approved, (sta~ revealed later than it was approved at staff
level); and the survey filled the city's need to survey the residents. Mr. Standard indicated that
there was an ongoing effort to inform residents of the ~ppiieant*s intentions fi-om the beginning,
and he said he felt a yeoman's effort had been made to keep the residents informed. He said ti~e
survey contained accurate information and they welcomed comments from the public.
~vfr. Standard said that as a practical matter they objected to an easement or pedestrian walkway
through tho property as it would appear that they were encouraging traffic that perhaps should not
be there, and it creatas a concern about who might be on the property. He pointed out that the
location of the proposed easement would create traffic in areas that could not bc controlled, as it
would create one moro access point to tho paddng area of thc property. He said they would not
put .a breach in a wall at such a point in a property that wouJd allow people to be traversing the
property perhaps for the wrong reasons, as they had a genuine concern about security and safety
and the integrity of the traffic going through the access. He said they were not opposed to creating
a gate to allow residents in and out of the property, but were at a loss to understand who would bc
comin8 onto thc property to get through that would have any need to 8o that way.
Cora. Auerbach said that it involved more discussion, but the goal was to try to create a more
walkable community for Cupertino, and the property was a lasga area of land that otherwise
people would have to go around, and it is quite open today. Mr. Standard said that the property
would remain open, but had controlled access from other areas, and they were concerned about
opening the back end of the property to traffic, encouraging the wrong traffic to come through
there.
Responding to Corn. Con's question, Mr. Standard said that the proposal was for removal of all
lakes, including the one that is currently filled. Mr. Standard explained the reasons for the
absence of thc ducks, and why the ponds wore drained during construction. He pointed out that
they now had to request approval to remove the psnds since construction was completed. Chair
Kwok read the contents of Mr. Monk*s letter and asked Mr. Standard to comment on the letter.
Mr. Standard said that the process of reconstructing Lake Biltmorc was brought about by
obsolescence and was a costly and cumbersome project. He said they attempted to expedite thc
process as best they could and wore not attempting to run rough shod over anyone, but rebuilding
an spain., est complex of such a huge size and type of scope was a difficult process.
Mr. Jolm'Cahalan, landscape architsct, summarized the rcUons for undertaking tho project. Ho
said when the lakes wore built it was state of the mt technology, using a clay material which over
time breaks up and loses some of its integrity, resulting in water loss. He noted that thc conditions
of thc lakes after such a long period were unappealing aesthetically; and they would be taking
unusable space (the ponds) and turning them into usable open space for lawn areas, BBQs, picnic
tables and play are~. Ho said in the Bay Area whenever you can recapture open space it is a real

when an easement is granted or made s condition ora petition ilke this, does the city not have
some responsibility in terms of either maintaining that easement or doing something to having
some oneness to it rather than just having it there. Ms. Murray said generally not; the city has
many easements between adjacent property owners as this would be with the hotel, but the city is
generally not a party to the easement.
Mr. Piasecki clarified that they were optimistic that the applicant with the removal of' the easement
requirement would joia in a cooperative community spirit and try to help implement a more
walkable community in the area, and stafffelt it would also enhance their application. Given that
they are objecting to it, staff suggests removal of thc second paragraph of Condition 6, which
states they shall enter into an agreement. Staff concurs with legal counsel that it has little weight
otherwise and without the applicant's concurrence it does not seem like a viable concept;
therefore staff recommends that it be removed.
Com. Patnoe asked for clarification on Mr. Monk*s earlier comment about the children's play
area; whether or not it would still be put in if the removal of the lakeswas rejected. Mr. Standard
clarified that be the lakes run, sin, the tot lot would be under two feet of water, so the area
designated for the pinykrround or any other area that would be feasible for this type of structure
would have to consume what is currently occupied by water, lie added that all lakes would be
removed, es keeping some lakes would be inconsistent landseaping, and thc soil bottom lakes are
problematic and .obsolete. He said in today's litigions society, as property owners~ they have to be
concerned about the safety ofthnh' residents.
Com. Corr expressed concern about laving something brought forward, it becoming convoluted,
resulting in the applicant coming back and stating that they did not understand it and it wasn't
quite what they meant. He said that Mr. Monk had some good points about the survey. Com.
Corr said he did not feel that Promethius was a bad neighbor and not a friend to Cupertino. He
said they have done a gnod job. He said in this particular case, he was not in favor of taking the
lakes out, and said it was an end tun on what was discussed before.
Com. Patnoe said that as a Planning Commissioner he believes the uniqueness of the community
should be preserved, and he felt the lakes at the Lake Bil~more complex were what made the
complex unique. He said he felt the site is better served with the lakes there; therefore he would
not support the application for removal.
Com. Auerbsch agreed that the applicant came to this in a bad way. Hc said on thc other hand
after having walked the property, there is almost no green space on the property and there were a
significant number of children playing on thc prnpcrty and around the pool on a Sunday atlernoon.
Children would have to play on the front lawn or across the street at a nearby park. He said while
he felt it was regrettable how the applicant came into this position, they should not be punished for
their bad behavior and daptive thc tenants of an improvement in thc amenities to the property. He
added that there is a tremeadons output frnm geese and ducks which could present problems.
Com. Auerbach said he supported the resolution.
Com. Chun said it was a difficult decision, and although she would like the water back in place,
she was concerned about the safety issue for children relative to potential accidents by the water
ponds. She said she was also concerned a~.out the safety in the pedestrian pathway. She said
although Cupertino is s safe area, the property is adj~ceot to a hotel, and the requirement for a
pedestrian pathway or the requirement for the applicant to provide an easement might result in
Planning Commission Minutes tn March 26, 2001
unknown hotel patrons wnlkinl~ through thc prol)crty which would create a safety issue for
children. Relative .to the amenities which would provide more green space, she said she could
envision a park-like enviromnant :for children to play in and also the BBQ area for families to have
activities cinsc to their rnsidances. Com. Chon said with tho information provided tunight~ she
would support the landscape proposal. Com. Chon expressed concern with the inconsistency in
doing the plan and the implemantatian of the plan. She said she would support the approval of the
re-landscaping with conditions that the applicant ensure quality construction work; noise control;
quality techniques for tho asbestos removal; provide the least disturbance to the residents and the
best quality landscaping for the residents in the future.
Mr. Piasccki said that the best quality landscape component is misted to this particular
application; and the remainder is almost complete and the city has been monitoring it with the
building code in mind. Problems were encountered in the beginning and the applicant was
r~luired to remove people from the buildings so they could do remodel work in the buildings. He
said wording could be included in the conditions that they shall provide the best quality plant
roaterials or they have to upsize some of the trees to 24 inch box.
Chair Kwok said that when the Lake Biltmore complex was opened in 1970, the name was Lake
Biltmore, and the name remained the same when remodeled in 1998. The ponds were there and it
has bean the trademark for the people who want to live there. He said he was not in favor of
removing all the lakes. During the construction in 1998 although there was conditions sot forth
about protecting the environment and yet there were not good efforts in keeping the ducks in
place, resulting in only 3 0fthe 37 remaining. Chair Kwok said they looked at the open space and
landscaping when the statcrneut was made that in the lest 1998 request for extension, there were n
lot of tress in there, and in 2001 they said they would not put any more trees in. He said he had
reservations about the grean concept of the complex, and would not support the project.
MOTION: Core. Chon moved to approve Application 14-U-98(M) with tho
conditions added requiring the developer to reduce the noise level and
ensure minimum disturbance to the residents during thc construction; nnd
also make sure the best state of the art construction techniques apply to
the construction of the landscape; and remove second paragraph of
Condition 6, consistent with earlier comments.
SECOND: Corn. Auethach
Com. Chon clarified that the condition applied to the whole project. She said she wanted
assurance that the lakes were removed properly and the projects completed according to the plan.
She said she also wanted to address Mr. IVlonk*s concern about the disturbance from the
construction and removal of lakes.

Ms. '~Vordell presented the proposed goals and projects For 2001/2002 outlined in the staff repo~
which we, re established at two previous Planning Commission meetings. She also noted that there
were recbmme~ded goals and project for removal.
Ms. Wotdel~!atified the ABAG goals; Not since 19Si'has ABAG given the jutisdintions in this
area a target oT~adequata sitos for housing by housing type affordable, and this last year the cities
in the Bay Are~'~Lvere given theEr new adequate sites goals. Cupertino had 2700 housing units, and
during this ?at h~w mandates that a housing elemen.t bo adopted that addresses providing those
housing umts. M~, Pissecki ;~aJd that there is p.ending legislation at the state level that would
indicate that if yood~ not have an a~eapted housing element approved by the state, it would be
considered incomplete'or not meeting the standards.
Ms. Wordell addressed th~e~lssue of proliferation of signs and noted that st~ff felt it was a code
enforcement issue. Chair If, wok said that he hoped the multi-language signs would remain s
priority since Cupertino had~ large multi cul!.ural population. Com. Patnoe requested that the
multi-langoago sign issue rema~ on the goa. ls ?t. Mr. P. iasecki suggested removing the double
asterisk on the multi language ~i~ns, and m.d~oata that ~f time permits, address the issue. He
pointed out that there wore many~q~ajor projects and the General Plan update to address. Ms.

SUMMARY
Agenda ltem No. ~' Agenda.Date: May 7,2001
Application: 02-Z-01, 6-U-97(M),
Application Summary:
gezoning and modification of a use permit to transfer 3,220 square feet of the Forum
property P(Institufional) to Oak Valley properties P(Res)
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Commission recommends:
1. Approval of 02-Z-01
2. Approval of 6-U-97(M)
Applicant: Brian Kangas Foulk (for Al Powell and Donald Krctsch)
Property Owner: Al Powell and Donald Krotsch
Property Location: 23657 and 23667 Black Oak Way
BACKGROUND:
Two property owners at Oak Valley (lots 36 and 37) pwpose to incorporate a small
section of the adjacent Forum property into their two lots at the Oak Valley development.
Thc Forum property is zoned P(institutional), and the Oak Valley property is P(Res). As
shown in the Rezoning Diagram, their rear property lines are slightly notched below the
properties to the southeast. The hatched area will be purchased from the Forum and
added to their properties.
DISCUSSION:
The aerial view in the plan set shows the configuration of the lots and the Forum
property. A smaller scale aerial view (Exhibit B) is also provided to show the area more
clearly; the dark lines around the properties are fence lines, not property lines. Thc red
line is the proposed propen'y line. The area to be rezoned has no functional use tbr
Forum; it is an open area between the lots and the Forum parking lot. A "v" ditch for
drainage is located along the rear edge of the proposed lots. The property owner of Lot
36 already extended his rear yard into the subject area.
The extension of these lots is a logical colLflguration for the area. The rear property lines
will be even with properties to the southeast, and there is no logical reason for additional
lots to pursue extending into the Forum property. Lots to the northwest of these
2
properties (lots 29-35) abut the emergency access road and lots to the southeast comprise
an even boundary, with no need to smooth it out.
Public Issue~:
One Oak Valley resident spoke in opposition to the rezoning, citing concerns about the
property owner already extending his yard and the precedent that would be set for other
lots to extend.
Planning Commission Issues:
Chairman Kwok stressed that it is not acceptable for property owners to begin projects
prior to approval.

would be expanded; and lot line adjustment at staff level. She referred to an aerial view of thc
area which illustrated the fence lines of the two lots, which does not interrupt any developed usc
and staff feels would not be a precedent for other lots along those property lines being able to take
advantage cfa similar opportunity. Staff feels that it is a unique situation, that the property would
be evened out and it was not a useful area for oth~r kinds of uses and other properties would not
be able to take advantage of the situation because of the road. Staff recommends approval of thc
application to the City Council.
Ms. Margaret NeRo, representing Brian Kangas Foulk, said she was available to answer questions.
Chair Kwok opened the meeting for public comment.
Ms. Wendy Chartoff, Oak Valley Road resident, presented photos of the homes in thc area, and
said that one of thc two homes requesting lot extensions had already completed the lot expansion
and were just now requesting permission to do so, which was not the proper process. She noted
that there wei'c several other homes in tho development that could extend their lot lines, and she
reiterated that they were not following the law. She said she also felt it would set a precedent to
allow the two homes to ex~end their lot lines.
Ms. Wordcll explained that one of thc property owners had pmccedad to expand their lot llno prior to thc
application, and was now seeking approval of tho application. She said she did not foci it would sat a
precedent as there wore not other similar opportunities, and they could not go into public open space lands
which are adjacent to some of thc lots, nor use of space that was useful to the Forum or any other entity.:
She said the property in quastion was unique and small in size.
Chair Kwok said it was important that the public be aware of the appropriate rules to follow and
not move forward on projects without receiving approval beforehand.
Ms. Chartoff referred to the photos and pointed out that thc expansion of two lots was not a small
in her opinion.
Ms. Wordcll noted that the untended area of Forum property was at thc edge of the property and
was not put to use presently. Com. Auerbach confirmed that the area was unused and inaccessible
at thc boundary of the Forum property.
Chair Kwok closed the public hearing.
Com. Aucrbach said he was not opposed to the application as it was a unique situation, lie
expressed concern about more lands being consumed by pot~utial lawn, not directly related to thc
present issue, lot 38 to the south has a large amount of green effluent coming off the landscape
into the culvert which dumps into the State of California land, at the end.

RE: Justification Letter for Application No. 02-Z-01
Rezoning a portion of the Forum property from P (institutional) to Oak
Valley properties P (ReMdential)
Dear Planning Commissioners:
The project proposes to rezone approximately 3,220 square feet from the Lands of the
Roman .Catholic Bishop of San Jose leased to Forum Lifecare from Planned
(institutional) to Planned (residential). Approximately 1,023 square feet will be
transferred to Lot 36 (23667 Black Oak Way) and 2,197 square feet will be transferred to
Lot 37 (23657 Black Oak Way) from the Lands of the Roman Catholic Bishop of San
Jose.
Once the property is rezoned an application for a lot line adjustment between Lots 36 and
37, Unit 5 and Lands of the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Jose will be subrmtted. The
land to be transferred sits between an existing parking area and a residential
neighborhood. Its integration with lots 36 and 37 would allow a re, configuration of the
area for pool and landscape utility. The lot line adjustment would make the property
lines consistent with the Oak Valley subdivision. Furthermore, the new configuration
would also allow for use of the area between the residential lots and existing parking
We appreciate your review of the project.
Sincerely,
BRIAN KANGAS FOULK

SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. ~g Meeting Date: May 7, 2001
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Cupertino Community Services (CCS) Affordable Housing Project
BACKGROUND
In February 1999, the City Council approved $1.6 million in funding towards the CCS affordable
housing project on Stevens Creek Boulevard. At that time, Cupertino National Bank was to
provide a loan to finance the conslructinn costs. Due to increased interest rates, CCS considered
alternatives to this conventional loan. Several options were explored, including the application
for a 10-year, 3% fully amortized loan from CI-IFA and the issuance of tax exempt bond
financing.
In December, 2000 a CHFA loan was awarded to the City in the amount of $2 million dollars to
be used for this project. This loan would vest to the City of Cupertino as general obligation debt
and the City would be required to fund the cash flow shortfall of meeting the debt service
obligations during a ten-year period. Staff is reconunending that this loan not be accepted
because it will tie the City financially to this project for a 10-year period, restrict our own debt
capacity by $2 million dollars, and leave the City with an estimated $700,000 to pay off or
refinance in 2008.
Another option for the City to consider is to issue tax-exempt bond financing for this project. It
is estimated that the project can afford approximately $1.5 million of bonding and Greater Bay
Bank has expressed an interest in buying the entire issue. Tax exempt bonds do not constitute a
general fund obligation, but pass through to Cupertino Community Services (CCS) for payment
obligations. This scenario will provide a better financing option for CCS than a conventional
loan and keep the financial responsibility with CCS.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council decline the CHFA loan and direct staff to issue tax-exempt
bonds for the affordable housing project.

SUMMARY
Agenda Item No: ,9,~ Meeting Date: May 7, 2001
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Extension of Agreement for Consultation Services with ACI Real Properties, Inc.
BACKGROUND
In 1996/97, Apple Computer was in the midst of a significant restructuring. Part of this
restructuring included decisions about the location of various sales and marketing facilities,
which had economic impacts on the City of Cupertino. In May of 1997, the City entered into a
five-year consultant agreement with ACI Real Properties to provide an incentive for Apple to
generate new sales tax activities within thc City. Apple has approached thc City and asked for a
five-year extension on this agreement, which is set to expire on June 30, 2002. No other changes
in terms or conditions have been proposed.
The agreement with ACI has both advantages and disadvantages, as set forth below:
Advantages
· Provides the City an average of $1.1 million in sales tax per year as opposed to $290,000
prior to the agreement.
· Increased corporate involvement.
DisadvantaRes
· Removes approx'unately $810,000 per year from total municipal sales tax receipts and remits
these monies to ACI Real Properties.
RECOMMENDATION
Direct staff of council's preference.

RELATED TO CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS AND CAMPAIGN FINANCE
DISCLOSURE
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1757 was enacted on May 19, 1997, and implemented a
number of reforms related to City Council campaign financing; and
WHEREAS, the City Council amended those provisions by enacting Ordinance Nos.
1797 and 1818;

Chapter 2.06 of the Cupertino Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Chapter 2.06 CITY COUNCIL~CAMPAIGN FINANCE
2.06.010 Purposes.
A. Thc proper operation of democratic government requires that elected officials be
responsible to the people; that monetary contributions to political campaigns on behalf, or
against, a candidate, while a legitimate form of public participation in the political
process, should not be so great as to p~mit particular individnals or organizations to
exercise a controlling or undue influence on the election of City Councilpersons.
B. This chapter is intended to minimize the potentially con'upting influence and appearance
of corruption caused by excessive contributions to City Council campaigns or on behalf
of, or against a candidate, by providing for reasonable conlribution limits for candidates
and "independent committees" as par~ of the election process.
C. This chapter also is intended to lessen the potentially corrupting pressures on candidates,
officeholders, and committees, for fundraising by establishing sensible time periods for
soliciting and accepting campaign contributions.
D. This chapter also seeks to enable each City voter to cast an informed vote by requiring
that candidates disclose all campaign contributions prior to a City election and by
'- requiring independent expenditure committees to reveal the source of their funding prior

SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Informational Report on thc Stevens Canyon Road Improvement Project
BACKGROUND
On July 27, 2000 the Council rejected ail bids on the Stevens Canyon Road Improvement
Project and directed staffto revise the scope of the project to stay within the construction
budget of $1,000,000. Staff has met with Brian-Kangas-Fanlk (BKF) over the past few
months to amend the scope of the project to a more basic improvement program with
constant pavement cross-section on the roadway. In addition, a separate minor paving and
drainage project for a portion of the road from Santa Lucia Avenue to Miramonte has
been included in the originai project (From Miramonte to the entrance to Stevens Creek
County Park). The projects were put together because the City will typically receive
better unit prices on a larger project than would typically be the case by breaking into two
smaller ones. The current estimate for the combined project is $945,000. The combined
budget for beth projects is as follows:
Design $ 105,000
ConsUuction Management 90,000
Construction 945,000
Contingency 160,000
Total $1,300,000
BKF will prepare a final Engineer's Estimate once the Construction drawings have been
completed.
It has taken longer than expected to develop a comprehensive bid package because of
several drainage and retaining wall redesigns which required some additional field survey
work and because there are portions of right-of-way in the current alignment that the City
must acquire before going out to bid.
The current schedule from the consultants is as follows:
Completion of Construction Drawings July 2001
Advertise Project/Receive Bids August 2001
Award Contract September 2001
Begin Construction October 2001
Complete Construction February 2002
Staff had reviewed the proposed revisions with Councilmember Bumett as the original
sponsor of the project. This report is for the Council's information only and no action is
required.

SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Report on Proposed Gateway at the intersection of De Anza Boulevard and Stevens Creek
Boulevard
BACKGROUND
The current Capital Improvement Program contains fund'mg (including contributions from
adjacent developments) to create special pedestrian cwsswalks with higher quality end
distinctive pavement trea~nents in all four directions at the intersection of Stevens Creek
Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard. During discussions of several developments during the
'- General Plan Workshop held on February 2, 2001, Councilmember Lowenthal suggested that
staff consider some kind of gateway aWacture or monument in the center of the intersection to
complement the pedestrian crosswalk paving pwposed to be installed in the 2001-2002 Fiscal
Year as part of the Kimpton/Prometheus pwject. The Council has requested that staff study the
feasibility of installing a monument in the center of the intersection on De Anza Boulevard at
Stevens Creek Boulevard and report back to the Council before reviewing the CIP in May 2001.
In the General Plan traffic capacity is referred to in terms of Level of Service (LOS). Specifically
"Policy 4-2: Traffic Capacity and Land Use Limitations" states: "...in order to accommodate
development which furthers a unique community gathering place on Stevens Creek Boulevard,
the intersection of Stevens Creek and De Anza Boulevard... may maintain a LOS 'E +'". This
intersection is also on the Santa Clara County Congestion Management Program (CMP)
network. The intersection was built out in 1986 as part of the De Anza Boulevard Widening
Project. All approaches have double left turn lanes. This intersection has a traffic signal that is
coordinated to adjust for AM, Mid-Day, and PM peak traffic volume periods on weekdays. The
intersection now operates typically at LOS "D" during the PM peak hour period..
ANALYSIS
Design Assuml~tions
Staff has designed a pedestal for a gateway monument of undetermined size to be placed in the
-- center of the intersection with sufficient clearance as now exists in thc turning movements.
A pedestal 17 feet in diameter with 10 feet of clearance from Waffic in opposed turning
movements could be accommodated by eliminating the outside left mm lanes in all four
directions.
If a water feature (a geyser or high bubbler type of fountain or some other moving water
treatment) were the desired gateway design, as been suggested, additional clearance may be
required to ensure that the water does not interfere with traffic during a windy day. It does not
appear likely that such additional clearance can be found within the geometric configuration of
the existing City right-of-way that would then conversely limit the size and design ora water
feature.
Traffic Analysis and Impacts
Staff analyzed traffic operations and traffic safety in the intersection, with the proposed
monument in the canter. A diagram of the intersection under these conditions is attached to this
report. In terms of traffic operations, staff reviewed the intersection Level Of Service (LOS) and
design queues with the number two left turn lanes removed from all four directions. Complete
traffic studies were not done but the Transportation staff projected estimates from the most
recent traffic counts, which are less than six months old and considered current for purposes of
this analysis.
In s,rnm_ary, during the AM peak hour periods, the intersection level of service will degrade at
all four approach movements to LOS F including all left tums. The through traffic is impacted
primarily by the increase in design queuing. With this design eJimi~ating the inboard left turn
lanes all left mm queue capacities become over saturated (i.e., demand exceeds capacity) for
both AM and PM peak hour periods. For example, the northbound left turn pocket on De Anza
Boulevard must be increased from 400 feet to gOO fect to handle 32 vehicles, which is the current
stacking capacity. A queue length of this magnitude is not practical for normal traffic operations.
In terms of traffic safety, in peak periods the traffic will tend to spill out into through lanes,
which creates the potential for accidents or at the very least unanticipated lane changes and
swerving movements to avoid the stacked lanes over a significant distance. It is also likely that in
adverse weather there will be the potential for sideswipes by vehicles into the platform in the
middle of the intersection or against the monument itself. Essentially the combination of narrow
left turn paths and "jamming up" of the intersection at peak hours create a significant potential
for vehicles to hit a fixed object in this intersection.
Alternative Considerations
While the existing conditions and potential impacts practically and effectively preclude the
installation of a gateway monument in the center of the intersection, there are potentially other
options. The traffic entering Cupertino to whom presumably a "gateway" would b~ most relevant
are largely flips that are southerly on De Anza and easterly on Stevans Creek. The other
directions are mostly flips leaving the city or traversing within it.
2
An opportunity presents itself with the ultimate completion of Four Seasons Park, which will be
done in conjunction with the Kimpton Hotel and Prometheus Housing projects.
This site is an excellent "viewpoint" for a gateway statement for traffic entering the City in these
two prevailing traffic directions. Since this project is going to proceed in the coming fiscal year,
if the Council wishes to pursue this idea further it would be in order to request that staff study
this option in conjunction with the design and development of Four Seasons Park and report back
with proposals in the coming year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council request that staff discontinue any further pursuit of a
mid-intersection monument at Stevens Creek and De Anza and report back to Council in the
early part of 2002 with proposals for a gateway feature in the design of Four Seasons Park.
