SECTION II: RECITALS
WHEREAS, state law requires the City to prepare and adopt an updated Housing

WHEREAS, pursuant to State Housing Law, the City prepared and presented a draft 61h
Cycle Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community

WHEREAS, HCD informed the City in a letter dated April 10, 2024 that the proposed

Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to State Housing Law, the City Council adopted the City's 61h Cycle
Housing Element on May 14, 2024 with Resolution 24-XXXX; and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Code amendment will be consistent with the City's General

WHEREAS, the necessary public notices have been given as required by the Municipal
Code of the City of Cupertino and the Government Code, and the Planning Commission

WHEREAS, based on substantial evidence in the administrative record, on June 11, 2024

other clean up text edits (MCA-2023-001) in substantially similar form to the Resolution

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cupertino held a duly noticed public hearing
on July X, 2024, and after considering all testimony and written materials provided in
connection with that hearing introduced this ordinance and waived the reading thereof;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cupertino is the decision -making body for
this Ordinance;
WHEREAS, the City entered into a Stipulated Judgement dated January 8, 2024 pursuant
to a lawsuit related to adoption of the Housing Element which included requirements for
coming into compliance with state housing element law and exempted the City
from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Government Code
section 65759; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code 65759, the General Plan Amendment to adopt the
Housing Element and associated amendments to the General Plan and zoning is fully described
and analyzed in the Environmental Assessment, which is incorporated into the General Plan as
Appendix G;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the following:
1. That the proposed zoning is in accord with the Municipal Code and the City's
Comprehensive General Plan.
The proposed zoning is in conformance with the General Plan since the City Council adopted
amendments to the General Plan, including changes to land use designations, in May 2024
with adoption of the Housing Element. These changes are mere conforming changes to make
the City's zoning map conform to the land use map. Additionally, some minor changes to the
colors on the map are to reflect changes to the legend to accommodate new zoning designations.
2. The proposed zoning is in compliance with the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Pursuant to Govt. Code Section 65759, the zoning actions related to bringing the City's
Housing Element into compliance with state law are exempt from CEQA. An Environmental
Assessment was prepared, also in compliance with state law. This Environmental Assessment
identified all feasible mitigation measures and was adopted as Appendix G — General Plan
2040 and Zoning Code Amendments Environmental Assessment of the General Plan as
required by state law. The site(s) are physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access,
provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical
constraints) for the proposed zoning designation(s) and anticipated land use development(s).
The sites being rezoned have access to utilities and are compatible with adjoining land uses.
3. The proposed zoning will promote orderly development of the City.
The proposed zoning aligns zoning with the City's General Plan land use goals and policies
related to locating higher density development close to transit corridors. The sites being
rezoned will promote orderly development in the City by allowing similar land uses to be
located compatibly. The proposed changes also allow the City to comply with the requirements
of state law related to housing.
4. That the proposed zoning is not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals and
general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of subject parcels.
The proposed zoning is not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals and general welfare
since these are conforming changes. Additionally, where health or safety impacts have been
identified mitigation measures have been identified which would be applicable to any
development on these sites, including those implemented through the City's existing
Municipal Code requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Rezoning.
That the property described in attached Exhibits Z-1 have a zoning designation as that
shown, and is incorporated into the Master Zoning Map (Exhibit Z-2) of the City of
Cupertino and the Heart of the City Specific Plan Area Zoning Map (Exhibit Z-3), which
is also incorporated into the Master Zoning Map; and
Section 2. Severability and Continuity.
The City Council declares that each section, sub -section, paragraph, sub -paragraph,
sentence, clause and phrase of this ordinance is severable and independent of every other
section, sub -section, paragraph, sub -paragraph, sentence, clause and phrase of this
ordinance. If any section, sub -section, paragraph, sub -paragraph, sentence, clause or
phrase of this ordinance is held invalid, or its application to any person or circumstance,
be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, unenforceable or
otherwise void, the City Council declares that it would have adopted the remaining
provisions of this ordinance irrespective of such portion, and further declares its express
intent that the remaining portions of this ordinance should remain in effect after the
invalid portion has been eliminated. To the extent the provisions of this Ordinance are
substantially the same as previous provisions of the Cupertino Municipal Code, these
provisions shall be construed as continuations of those provisions and not as an
amendment to or readoption of the earlier provisions.
Section 3. California Environmental Quality Act.
Adoption of these zoning amendments to allow implementation of the Housing Element
is exempted from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to
Government Code section 65759.
