Rebuttal to Argument in Favor of Measure CRebuttal to the Argument in Favor of Measure C
We are not developers. We are longtime community members who are proud to sign this
Rebuttal. We all agree that Measure C would negatively impact our neighborhoods for
generations to come.
One of the most accurate lines in the Measure C Argument is that it only reflects the
"OPINIONS" of the authors. The blatantly false and misleading statements clearly demonstrate
their opinions don't match up with the facts, and the facts matter:
FACT: Due to sloppy drafting, Measure C does increase the neighborhood height limit to 4
stories. The ballot question says it all. A Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge, the Cupertino
City Council and an independent law firm contracted by the City to analyze Measure C all agree:
passage of Measure C could drastically alter Cupertino's neighborhoods by allowing 45-foot, 4-
story homes.
FACT: Passage of Measure C will result in a dead Vallco for decades to come. The authors'
opinion that Measure C could somehow bring Vallco back to life is a pipe dream not backed up
by the facts. Independent economic studies and expert analysis have repeatedly demonstrated
that, due to irreversible shifts in market conditions, a mixed -use plan as called for by
Cupertino's General Plan is the only way Vallco can succeed and deliver the benefits the
community needs.
FACT: Under Measure C, even small development changes could force unnecessary elections
that will cost Cupertino taxpayers up to $400,000 per election.
Please join us in our effort to prevent 4 story homes in Cupertino's neighborhoods and
revitalize Vallco by voting No on Measure C.
