Background
On January 20, 2009, the City Council approved the project (See Attachment A) to allow the
development of a hotel, associated underground parking podium and tree removals. Based on the
Ordinance, the Council approval is valid for two years, expiring on January 20, 2011.
Due to economic conditions and restrictive financial markets, the applicant, Dipesh Gupta, is
requesting a one-year extension of these approvals to January 20, 2012 (See Attachment B).
Discussion
The Cupertino Municipal Code sections 19.124.100 and 19.134.100 authorize the City Council to
extend the project approvals for a maximum of one year, without a public hearing. Therefore, the
applicant’s request is being presented to the Council as a consent item.
