PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. _ j_ Agenda Date: Tune 8, 2010
Application: CP-2010-02, EA-2010-02
Applicant: City of Cupertino
Application Summary: Review of the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program, Fiscal
Years 2010-11 to 2014-15, for General Pla�1 Consistency
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Commission:
1. Recommend a Negative Declaratic�n for the proposed 5-Year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), file �to. CP-2010-02; and
2. Find that the proposed CIP is con� istent with the General Plan as per the model
resolution (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND:
Each year the City Council adopts a five-year spending plan for capital improvements
throughout the City. The CIP is critical �ecause it prioritizes significant city
expenditures on capital projects of importance to the City. Funding is not fixed or
committed during the five year term. Typically, funding may shift in the second
through fifth years as priorities change a�1d project schedules accelerate or decelerate
during the lifetime of the project.
State law and the Cupertino Municipal C ode (Section 2.32.070.0 - Attachment 2)
require the Planning Commission to revi�w the CIP for consisirilcy with the General
Plan and make a recommendation on the environmental assessment. The City Council
is responsible for setting or recommendvig CIP funding priorities.
The draft CIP has already been presentecl to the City Council on May 25, 2010 (see
Attachment 3- Capital Improvement Prcgram, FY 2010-11 to 2014-15). Staff's
environmental analysis of the CIP is also included (Attachment 4- Environmental
Analysis Summary Matrix). The environmental review of the CIP is focused on the first
year funded projects as new projects fun�ied in the second through fifth years are not

committed to be implemented because of possible changes in City priorities.
Attachment 5 lists the proposed first year capital projects and staff notes describing how
the projects relate to the General Plan.
DISCUSSION:
Environmental Determination
The CIP list for fiscal year 2010-11 includ��s the following:
Projects with previous environmental re� iews (see Attachment 6):
• Stevens Creek Corridor Park (Pha��e II) - Mitigated Negative Declaration
adopted in 2006.
• Environmental Education Center - same Mitigated Negative Declaration as
Stevens Creek Corridor Park.
The remaining CIP projects included in tlus review are:
• Repairs, renovations and relativel3- minor improvements to City infrastructure
and facilities throughout the City
• Small additions to existing City ini'rastructure: streets and public facilities, such
as, the Sport Center sport court, McClellan Ranch 4H sanitary connection and the
Service Center tool crib.
Individually, these types of projects are c��nsidered categorically exempt from
environmental review under Sections 15? 01 and 15303 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Howev��r, CEQA also requires cumulative
environmental analysis of the CIP. On Ju ne 3, 2010, The Environmental Review
Committee (ERC) examined the CIP and Eound that there are no significant cumulative
environmental impacts. Consequently, t�te granting of a Negative Declaration for the
entire CIP is recommended.
Projects with pending environmental analysis ( not included in this CIP environmental
review) are:
• Scenic Circle Access - �
• Stevens Creek Corridor Park Tree Evaluation and Removal , and
• Temporary Dog Park on Mary Av��nue.

and 2-86, text pages 2-46, 2-51 and 2-52.

6. Other projects that are not addresse�i in the General Plan, but do not conflict
with the text, policy or goals of the (�eneral Plan.
There are no specific policies or General Plan language that discusses the
importance of maintaining existing public facilities and structures for public access
and execution of general plan policie:�. There are three projects in the above
category: AM radio station relocatio�l, service center tool crib and community hall
AV upgrades.

ENVIRONMENTAL EVALU/►TION (To be Completed by City Staffl
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below viould be potentially affected by this project,
involving at least one impact that is a"Poteitially Significant Impact" as indicated by the
checklist on the following pages.
❑ Aesthetics ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Air Quality
❑ Biological Resources O Cultural Resources ❑ Geology /Soils
❑ Hazards & Hazardous ❑ Hyclrology / Water ❑ Land Use / Planning
Materials Qu:�lity
❑ Mineral Resources � Noise ❑ Population / Housing
❑ Public Services ❑ Rec:reation ❑ Transportation/Traffic
❑ Utilities / Service ❑ Maiidatory Findings of
Systems Sig �ificance
DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) finds that:
� The proposed project COULD NO"f have a significant effect on the environment, and
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effeci in this case because revisions in the project have
been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REP��RT is required.
❑ The proposed project MAY have a"potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has
been adequately analyzed in an e��rlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and 2) has been addre:�sed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
❑ Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant e:ffects (a) have been analyzed adeqiaately in an
earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLAFZATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b)
have been avoided or mitigated p�irsuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, including revisior�s or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project, nothing further i:> required.
