Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition CUPER i ANC CITY CLERK
Notice is hereby given by the person whose name appears hereon of his intention to
circulate the petition with the City of Cupertino for the purpose of amending the General Plan
and the Heart of the City Specific Plan. A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as
contemplated in the petition is as follows:
The existing Oaks Shopping Center sits at the western gateway to the heart of
downtown. Built in the 1970s, it has become an aged and obsolete retail center that no longer
adequately serves the community.
The citizens of Cupertino desire to revitalize the Oaks to serve as a model for responsible
redevelopment and to enhance the downtown core by serving as a vibrant gateway to the heart of
the City. This Initiative will ensure that the high -quality, mixed -use development will help meet
the goals and policies of the General Plan for land use, sustainability, fiscal viability, community
design and housing for the City.
In addition to the new tax revenue generated for the City and our two local school
districts for critical public services, estimated to be approximately $2.5 million annually, the
project will generate approximately $8 million worth of community benefits and amenities as
conditions for final approval of the project.
Consequently, the voters desire to approve changes to the City's General Plan and
Specific Plan for the project area and to authorize further development approvals for this project,
subject to full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the commitment of
the community benefits promised.
Kenneth Silvery Tersini
