AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA DATE October 6, 2009
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 2009-_ ~ ~0 y 9 "An Ordinance of the City
Council of the City of Cupertino Amending Cu~~ertino Municipal Code Section 14.04.040, Street
Improvements: Requirements -General, to include language regarding rural and semi-rural
designation for properties with frontage along more than one street".
BACKGROUND
At its regular September 15, 2009, meeting, the City Council requested that Staff develop an
amendment to the existing semi-rural ordinance to deal with the case of lots having street
frontage along more than one street.
The ordinance presented here will amend City Municipal Code by establishing that a rural or
semi-rural designation, once approved, shall apply only to the frontage or frontages of a property
that have been included in a successfizl petition for such designation. This amendment seeks to
avoid designating all the street frontages of a property as rural or semi-rural when not all of the
street frontages have been included in a successful petition. This will codify the City's actual
practice in administering the existing ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact.
