CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:September 21, 2010
Subject
Vacatea portion of City right of way on Stevens CanyonRoad at 22605 RicardoRoad.
Recommended Action
The application for vacationhas been withdrawn.
Discussion
The owner of the parcel at 22605 Ricardo Road petitioned the City to vacate a portion of the
existing Stevens Canyon Road right of way adjacent to his property that is no longer needed for
roadway purposes. Harold “Bud” Barclayapplied to the City of Cupertino requestingthat the
City consider vacating a portion of the existing Stevens CanyonRoad public road right of way.
Once vacated, the area would become part of the Barclayparcelat 22605 Stevens Canyon Road.
After meeting with City staff, Mr. Barclay has decided to withdraw the application.
During Council’s regular meeting of September 7, 2010, Council members raisedthe following
questions about the Barclay parcel. Answers are provided.
1.Is the parcel currently large enough to subdivide, or would it need area added to it in
order to be large enough?
The parcel currently has a gross area of 23,898 square feet. Since it is in an R1-10 zone,
it is large enough to be subdivided into two lotseach 10,000 square feet or more in
area.The parcel does not need any additional area to meet the area requirement.
2.What is the appropriate area to be reserved for a future pedestrian walkway on Stevens
Canyon Road along the frontage of the Barclay parcel?
The existing construction, mature vegetation, and varying right-of-way locations along
Stevens Canyon Road make a consistent location of future walkways and other roadway
and roadside elementsalong Stevens Canyon Road problematic. Staff will develop a
plan line for Stevens Canyon Road in order to answer these questions in a more
comprehensive manner.
