Argument Against Measure CARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE.
We can all agree on two things: 1) something must be done about Vallco and 2) Cupertino's
residential neighborhoods don't need 4-story homes.
But Measure° will accomplish just the opposite. If passed, it will raise the maximum height of
homes in most residential neighborhoods to 4 stories and will prevent the revitalization of
Vallco, ensuring that it remains desolate and empty.
The initiative and the City of Cupertino's independent analyses are available at
www.cupertino. 2rg initiatives. Here are the facts:
Fact: Measuree_ will raise the height limit in the City's Neighborhoods to 45 feet, a 50% height
increase. That means 4-story homes throughout our residential neighborhoods, impacting
most of Cupertino.
Fact: Measurer will block mixed -use revitalization of Vallco, resulting in an empty 'ghost mall'
for years to come.
Fact: Measure _d, will block more than $47 million in onetime revenue and $2.8 million in yearly
revenue for Cupertino schools and city services such as public safety, parks, and libraries.
Fact: Measure Lwill block the creation of a 30-acre community park and nature area and
substantially limit open space areas for the community.
Fact: Measure (twill require an election to approve even minor changes to developments in
our city. Each of these elections could cost taxpayers $400,000, wasting money that could be
better spent on vital city services.
Fact: Measure will block the construction of much deserved housing for seniors.
Fact: Measure (L will block over $36 million in funding for badly needed transportation
improvements to reduce traffic on 1-280 and our city streets.
The facts speak for themselves. Join us and community leaders from across Cupertino in saying
NO to 4-story homes in our neighborhoods and a desolate Vallco for years to come. The CC
"Sensible" Growth Initiative simply doesn't make sense. Vote No on Measure C.
