Dear City Clerk, please add these to the written documents for the record.
Thank you, Connie Cunningham

Honorable Chair Mohan, Vice Chair Fruen,
Councilmembers Wei, Chao and Moore
I am Connie Cunningham, Housing Commission, speaking
for myself only,
I have been a homeowner for 37 years. Our children
attended local schools. In the early 90’s, after college,
they moved away from Cupertino because the cost of
homes was too high. The situation is worse now for our
students who graduate from high school.
Thank you, City Council, for adopting the Housing
Element in May! I fully support that extraordinary
document. Tonight, I urge you strengthen it with
zoning to affirmatively further fair housing, a key goal
of this 6th Cycle. HCD must agree and approve this re-
zoning, as well as the Housing Element.
Thank you to Staff for your very good work on the
rezonings to date.
New Chapter 19.38 that includes universal design
standards for people of all ages and abilities,

New Chapter 19.50 Emergency Shelters: State Law AB
2339. Homelessness is rising. Our community critically
needs an emergency shelter.
It is critical to provide homes for all incomes and
abilities, and also to provide climate protections for all
residents.
Question: Staff commented on lot coverage on Page 7
Para 1.b. of their Report, dealing with the TownHome
Combining District.
To me, it is not clear what the change would be if they
eliminated the lot coverage standard. What is that
standard? How can it be written to allow developments
to occur with areas for landscaping? Many Cupertino
policies are related to urban heat island effect,
sustainability, and maintaining an urban tree canopy.
This is more complex than it sounds because of the
interplay with other building codes such as FAR and
parking.
Cupertino for All wrote Council describing specific,
actionable changes that you, as policymakers, can enact
to ensure that HCD will accept them. I fully support
these recommendations and urge that you adopt them.
3
These strengthen our Housing Element in fully
answering the requirements of state law to
affirmatively further fair housing.
First, Council must remove the 5-story limit, relying
only on the 70-foot height limit.
Second, Council must remove the change in the
definition of a duplex.
Third, Council must Request staff to partner with all
stakeholders in regards to staff’s recommendation to
adopt Objective Development Standards.
-------
These will Give home builders more flexibility to design
housing of varying types and for varying incomes &
abilities, without having to rely on state-law
workarounds like the Density Bonus Law.
-------
Thank you for your consideration and effort to foster
an inclusive and vibrant Cupertino.

Date:Tuesday, July 2, 2024 4:38:24 PM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you

Dear Mayor Mohan and City Council,
My name is Marilyn Sherry. I am a resident of Cupertino, a resident co-owner, with my
daughter's family, of a duplex located on a lot zoned R3, which will continue to be R3 under
the new plan. We recently considered adding a third unit as a second story of our duplex, to
accommodate a dear friend who is aging alone, only to find that Cupertino zoning regulations
would not accommodate this, even though we are zoned R3.
I would like to thank our city's staff for their hard work on the proposed rezonings, which are
necessary for the Housing Element to achieve full compliance with HCD. There is, however,
still room for improvement. We must approach our rezonings in a manner that encourages
flexibility in all types of housing. We cannot stand by and watch unnecessary restrictions
cripple Cupertino’s zoning code.
Council has received a letter from Cupertino for All (CFA) describing specific, actionable
changes that our Council, as policymakers, can enact to enhance our rezonings and ensure that
HCD will ultimately accept them. I support many of the CFA recommendations.
I especially applaud CFA's call for adding greater flexibility for architects designing housing
of different forms for different populations at different income levels.
In particular, I think that the definition of a duplex which requires principal dwelling units to
be no more than 200 square feet different from each other is absurd and needs to be removed.
It does not reflect current reality in Cupertino or in other cities in the Valley. Homeowners
should be allowed greater flexibility than a one-bedroom difference between units, especially
if adding what is essentially an ADU.
I also support parking standards for R2 and R3 lots of 1 enclosed space and 1 exposed space
per principal dwelling unit (for a total of 2 parking spaces per unit per lot). This ensures that
more of a lot's area can be dedicated to living space for people rather than "living space" for
cars. This has the added benefit of fitting in better with existing single-family neighborhoods,
which feature this level of parking as standard.
Finally, I agree with CFA that a height limitation stated in feet (or meters) for R4 (or any other
R1, R2, or R3) makes better sense than an 'x-story' limit. A 'story' is not a standard measure;
such a 'non-standard standard' allows for uncontrolled height in buildings. All standards
should be written using measurements approved by a national or international standards body.
Thank you for your consideration and effort to foster an inclusive and thriving Cupertino.
Best regards,
Marilyn Sherry

Dear Recipients:
Current proposed housing element changes are totally unacceptable. To wit:
Eliminating requirements for developers to provide parking, which would result in more cars being
parked on our streets.
Until Cupertino provides significantly better public transportation -- and when the California model of
suburban design changes to the European or Japanese model of the "hub" -- in no way should parking of
residences be ignored.
Raising the maximum building height in our city to SEVEN floors (by aligning with the aggressive State
bill, the future max building height could be even higher)
Do the proponents of this change Live in Cupertino? Do they have an idea of the character of the city? Do
they really think making Cupertino like The Bronx makes sense? (I suppose I need to put it: this is
rhetorical.)
Increasing the floor area ratio (FAR) from the current 55% to 100%, allowing for larger construction on
lots.
Low maintenance residences? What is being proposed recalls what I grew up with, calling it a "housing
project." The "projects" were a wonderful incubator of crime, gang violence and dead-end life style. I think
the English call it "Council Housing." It's a term of opprobrium.
I urge you not to adopt any of the above proposals.

Subject: Thoughtful Rezoning
Dear City Planning Leaders,
As a former council member and current FUHSD trustee, I appreciate the need to
make thoughtful decisions on zoning. Retaining the city's authority on land use
requires that the city make meaningful efforts toward housing production, and
zoning is a key tool to that end. I am broadly supportive of measures that will
allow Cupertino to generate more infill housing at all income levels, but
particularly for those in the missing middle and lower income levels. I also
recognize that the City must approach rezoning with care toward current
residents; for example, a 20 story building towering over a R-1 neighborhood that
dramatically changes the viewshed from that neighborhood is bound to be
counterproductive, igniting community pushback.
I support these measures:
1) Removing the 5-story limit in R-4 zones to allow greater flexibility in
building housing while retaining a separate cap on building height.
2) Reducing parking requirements to 1 enclosed and 1 exposed per unit in
R-2 zones.
3) Allowing lot coverage of up to 50% in R-2 and R-3 zones, and 4 units in
R-3.
4) Soliciting input from housing experts on other rezoning measures that would
meaningfully improve our housing production.
Finally, I'm writing this in my personal capacity rather than as an FUHSD trustee,
but I note that both CUSD and FUHSD would benefit from more students that
would result from new housing production.
Sincerely,
Rod Sinks

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you

Dear Luke Connelly, Piu Ghosh, Pamela Wu, and Cupertino City Council,
I am writing to express my full support for the proposed housing element draft and rezoning,
as previously developed by Luke Connelly and Piu Ghosh. Please do not make any further
changes to the previously drafted housing element proposal, which has already received
approval from HCD. Now is not the time to allow outside influences to disrupt the process and
jeopardize the prospects of Cupertino passing the housing element and extending Builders
Remedy.
It has come to my attention that certain advocates have suggested significant changes to the
housing element draft during the last council meeting. I urge you not to accept any of those
changes. This is not the time for major alterations, as doing so could lead to extreme
conditions that would make Cupertino unrecognizable from its current character.
Luke and Piu have done an excellent job, and we do not need additional input from those who
may not fully understand the unique needs of our community.
It is crucial to balance the need for new housing with the preservation of our community's
character and existing standards. Increasing flexibility in rezoning and reducing parking
requirements could lead to overdevelopment and strain our infrastructure. Instead of pushing
for higher density and fewer restrictions, we should maintain reasonable limitations that align
with Cupertino's current character.
Specifically, I urge you to consider the following points:
Preserving Community Character:
Maintain the current 5-story limit in R-4 zones to prevent overcrowding and ensure new
developments harmonize with existing neighborhood aesthetics.
Retain the 55% FAR limitation to avoid excessive density that could overwhelm local
resources and infrastructure.
Supporting Equitable Housing:
Keep the current definition of a “duplex” to avoid complications in design and development
processes. Flexibility is important, but it should not come at the expense of community
cohesion and established standards.
Preserve existing parking requirements to ensure adequate parking availability and minimize
congestion in residential areas.
Maintaining Standards and Order:
Uphold current lot coverage limits and minimum lot size requirements to maintain orderly
development and prevent overcrowding.
Retain existing interior side yard setbacks to ensure sufficient space between properties,
promoting privacy and reducing potential conflicts between neighbors.
Consideration of Long-term Impact:
Any future ordinance updates should be carefully considered and aligned with the
community’s long-term vision and needs, ensuring changes benefit all residents without
compromising the quality of life.
While it is crucial to address the housing needs of underrepresented communities and comply
with state regulations, it is equally important to consider the potential repercussions of drastic
changes. A balanced approach that maintains some current restrictions will better serve
Cupertino in the long run.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my perspective as a long-term Cupertino
resident and current voter. This is a critical matter to me, and council members' votes on this
issue will impact my decisions in the upcoming elections in November 2024 and 2026.
I trust that the Council will make decisions that reflect the best interests of our entire
community.
Sincerely,
Chitra Iyer

Hello,
I am a long term resident of the city of cupertino. I am also a Commissioner of TICC.
However, I am speaking on my own behalf.
I support the staff recommendation without any changes.* Do NOT increase maximum floors
to 7. Do NOT reduce parking requirements. Do NOT increase Floor Area Ratio (FAR) above
55%. Do NOT add any other changes Let's get the housing element approved by HCD.
Thank you

4.2 AIR QUALITY
This chapter describes the potential impacts to air quality associated with the adoption and
implementation of the proposed Modified Project. This chapter describes the regulatory framework and
baseline conditions, identifies criteria used to determine impact significance, provides an analysis of the
potential air quality impacts, and identifies General Plan 2040 policies and/or strategies that could
minimize any potentially significant impacts.
4.2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
AIR POLLUTANTS OF CONCERN
Criteria Air Pollutants
The pollutants emitted into the ambient air by stationary and mobile sources are categorized as primary
and/or secondary pollutants. Primary air pollutants are emitted directly from sources. Carbon monoxide
(CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), coarse inhalable
particulate matter (PM10), fine inhalable particulate matter (PM2.5), and lead (Pb) are primary air
pollutants. Of these, CO, SO2, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 are “criteria air pollutants,” which means that Ambient
Air Quality Standards (AAQS) have been established for them. VOC and NOX are criteria pollutant
precursors that form secondary criteria air pollutants through chemical and photochemical reactions in
the atmosphere. Ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are the principal secondary pollutants. Table
4.2-1, Criteria Air Pollutant Health Effects Summary, summarizes the potential health effects associated
with the criteria air pollutants.

AIR QUALITY
4.2-2 APRIL 2024
A description of each of the primary and secondary criteria air pollutants and their known health effects is
presented below.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon
substances, such as gasoline or diesel fuel. CO is a primary criteria air pollutant. CO
concentrations tend to be the highest during winter mornings with little to no wind, when
surface-based inversions trap the pollutant at ground levels. The highest ambient CO
concentrations are generally found near traffic-congested corridors and intersections. When
inhaled at high concentrations, CO combines with hemoglobin in the blood and reduces its
oxygen-carrying capacity. This results in reduced oxygen reaching the brain, heart, and other body
tissues. This condition is especially critical for people with cardiovascular diseases, chronic lung
disease, or anemia, as well as for fetuses. Even healthy people exposed to high CO concentrations
can experience headaches, dizziness, fatigue, unconsciousness, and even death.
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) are a by-product of fuel combustion and contribute to the formation of
ground-level O3, PM10, and PM2.5. The two major forms of NOX are nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen
dioxide (NO2). NO is a colorless, odorless gas formed from atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen when
combustion takes place under high temperature and/or high pressure. The principal form of NOX
produced by combustion is NO, but NO reacts quickly with oxygen to form NO2, creating the
mixture of NO and NO2 commonly called NOX. NO2 is an acute irritant and more injurious than NO
in equal concentrations. At atmospheric concentrations, however, NO2 is only potentially
irritating. NO is a colorless, odorless gas formed from atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen when
combustion takes place under high temperature and/or high pressure. NO2 acts as an acute
irritant and in equal concentrations is more injurious than NO. At atmospheric concentrations,
however, NO2 is only potentially irritating. There is some indication of a relationship between NO2
and chronic pulmonary fibrosis. Some increase in bronchitis in children (2 and 3 years old) has
also been observed at concentrations below 0.3 parts per million (ppm).
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is a colorless, pungent, irritating gas formed by the combustion of sulfurous
fossil fuels. It enters the atmosphere as a result of burning high-sulfur-content fuel oils and coal
and chemical processes at plants and refineries. Gasoline and natural gas have very low sulfur
content and do not release significant quantities of SO2. When sulfur dioxide forms sulfates (SO4)
in the atmosphere, together these pollutants are referred to as sulfur oxides (SOX). Thus, SO2 is
both a primary and secondary criteria air pollutant. At sufficiently high concentrations, SO2 may
irritate the upper respiratory tract. Current scientific evidence links short-term exposures to SO2,
ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours, with an array of adverse respiratory effects, including
bronchoconstriction and increased asthma symptoms. These effects are particularly adverse for
asthmatics at elevated ventilation rates (e.g., while exercising or playing) at lower concentrations
and when combined with particulates, SO2 may do greater harm by injuring lung tissue.
Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5) consists of finely divided solids or liquids such as
soot, dust, aerosols, fumes, and mists. In the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB or Air
Basin), most particulate matter is caused by combustion, factories, construction, grading,

demolition, agricultural activities, and motor vehicles. Two forms of fine particulates are now
recognized and regulated. Inhalable coarse particles, or PM10, include particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns (i.e., 10 millionths of a meter or 0.0004 inch) or less.
Inhalable fine particles, or PM2.5, have an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 microns or less (i.e.,
2.5 millionths of a meter or 0.0001 inch). Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is also classified as a
carcinogen. Extended exposure to particulate matter can increase the risk of chronic respiratory
disease. PM10 bypasses the body’s natural filtration system more easily than larger particles and
can lodge deep in the lungs. The EPA scientific review concluded that PM2.5 penetrates even more
deeply into the lungs, and this is more likely to contribute to health effects—at concentrations
well below current PM10 standards. These health effects include premature death in people with
heart or lung disease, nonfatal heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, aggravated asthma, decreased
lung function, and increased respiratory symptoms (e.g., irritation of the airways, coughing, or
difficulty breathing). Motor vehicles are currently responsible for about half of particulates in the
SFBAAB. Wood burning in fireplaces and stoves is another large source of fine particulates.
Ozone (O3) is a key ingredient of “smog” and is a gas that is formed when ROGs and NOX, both by-
products of internal combustion engine exhaust, undergo photochemical reactions in sunlight. O3
is a secondary criteria air pollutant. O3 concentrations are generally highest during the summer
months when direct sunlight, light winds, and warm temperatures create favorable conditions for
its formation. O3 poses a health threat to those who already suffer from respiratory diseases as
well as to healthy people. Breathing O3 can trigger a variety of health problems, including chest
pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and
asthma; reduce lung function; and inflame the linings of the lungs. Besides causing shortness of
breath, it can aggravate existing respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.
Chronic exposure to high ozone levels can permanently damage lung tissue. O3 can also damage
plants and trees and materials such as rubber and fabrics.
Reactive Organic Gases (ROGs)/Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are compounds composed
primarily of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Internal combustion associated with motor vehicle
usage is the major source of ROGs. Other sources of ROGs include evaporative emissions from
paints and solvents, the application of asphalt paving, and the use of household consumer
products such as aerosols. Adverse effects on human health are not caused directly by ROGs, but
rather by reactions of ROGs to form secondary pollutants such as O3. There are no AAQS
established for ROGs. However, because they contribute to the formation of O3, the BAAQMD has
established a significance threshold for this pollutant.
Lead (Pb) is a metal found naturally in the environment as well as in manufactured products. The
major sources of lead emissions have historically been mobile and industrial sources. As a result
of the phasing out of leaded gasoline, metal processing is currently the primary source of lead
emissions. The highest levels of lead in the air are generally found near lead smelters. Other
stationary sources are waste incinerators, utilities, and lead-acid battery manufacturers. Because
