noted that there had been ahiring freeze of about 10 positions, although no cuts had been
made to programs, and there have been severe restrictions on the amount of general fund
money going into the Capital Improvement Programbudget.Mr. Knapp highlighted

This schedule is written with the intent that the employee will make every effort to find the
lowest possible cost to the City for traveling on City business. For example, if paying for
parking at the airport is less expensive that paying for a taxi or airport shuttle, then the
employee should drive their car and park at the airport; or if renting a car is lower than taking
taxis at the out-of-town location, then a car should be rented; or air reservations should be
booked in advance to obtain discounted fares. The following procedures apply whether the
expense is being paid through a reimbursement or a direct advance.
B.Registration
Registration fees for authorized attendance at a meeting or training session will be paid by the

The City will pay transportation costs on the basis of the lowest cost intent stated in
paragraph A. Eligible transportation costs include airfare (with coach fare being the
maximum), van or taxi service to and from the attendee’s home and airport, destination or
airport parking charges, taxi and shuttle services at the out-of-town location, trains, tolls, or
rental cars. Use of a personal automobile for City business shall be reimbursed or advanced at
the rate per mile in effect for such use, except in no case shall it exceed air coach fare if the
vehicle is being used for getting to the destination. Government or group rates offered by a

instance, for example, the difference between single and multiple occupancy rates for a room
will not be reimbursed.

lodging policy described in the next paragraph should be followed to find another comparable
hotel.
Where lodging is necessary for an activity that is not related to a conference or other
organized educational activity, reimbursement or advances shall be limited to the actual cost
of the room at a group or government rate. In the event that a group or government rate is not

actual costs consistent with the application of reasonable standards.
Other reasonable expenses related to business purposes shall be paid consistent with this
policy.

expenses incurred. When receipts are not available, qualifying expenditures shall be

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:July5, 2011
Subject
Approval for an additional $25,000 in constructioncontingencies for the Garden Gate Safe
Routes to School Project No. 2009-9549, for a total of $334,000.
Recommended Action
Approve additional $25,000 in construction contingencies.
Discussion
At the May 17, 2011 City Council meeting, the City Council awarded a construction contract to
J.J.R. Construction, Inc, for the Garden Gate Sidewalk Installation Project, Project No. 2009-
9549, in the amount of $259,000, with approval for another $50,000 in construction
contingenciesfor unforeseen work. The City was awarded $393,788 in federal funding in 2009
for this project as a result of a successful Safe Routes to School application submitted by the City
to enhance safety for pedestrians walking to Garden Gate Elementary School and De Anza
College. The scope of the grant project includesconstructing new sidewalks where there were
gaps in the existing sidewalk network along Stelling Road between Alves Drive and Highway
280, along Greenleaf Drive between Stelling Road and Garden Gate Elementary School, and
along Flora Vista Avenue in the vicinity of Greenleaf Drive; constructing new handicap ramps
and upgrading existing handicap ramps; reconstructing driveways; and performing a safety
upgrade of the traffic signal at Stelling Road/Greenleaf Drive.
The Engineer’s estimate for the concrete sidewalk, driveway and handicap ramp portion of the
work came to $405,000, slightly in excess of the $393,788 available to the City from the Safe
Routes to School federal grant. Consequently, the traffic signal upgrade portionof the work was
excluded from the original bid because staff believed that there would be insufficient funding
available to complete that portion of the work. However, the lowest responsive and responsible
bid, from J.J.R. Construction, came in at $259,000, well under the $405,000 Engineer’s estimate
and the $393,788 available from the grant. As a result, staff now has the opportunity to include
the additional traffic signal upgrade work, estimated at $19,074, within the contract with J.J.R
construction with no fiscal impact to the general fund.
Because some additional work has already been performed on the contract for concrete and
drainage work using in excess of $30,000of the approved contingency, staff recommends
approving an additional $25,000 contingency to cover the traffic signal upgrade portion of the
work and any other smaller clean-upitems necessary to complete the project. This additional
contingency is within the scope and budget of the grant and will not be borne by the General
Fund.
254
Fiscal Impact
Aproject budget of $442,000wasapproved by City Council in the 09/10CIP. This money is
being reimbursed through the Federal Safe Routes to School Grant, in the amount of $393,788.
The total project cost,including contingencies, is $334,000. Consequently, there is no net fiscal
impact to the City.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting:July 5, 2011
Subject
Summary easement vacation and Termination of Agreement,where City of Cupertino releases
all of its interest, rights, obligations, duties, etc., acquiredfrom an agreement recorded on
October 17, 1974.
Recommended Action
Adoption of a resolutionsummarily vacating an easement andterminating any interest held by
the City over that certain property locatednorth of Vallco Shopping Center, and immediately
southwest of the intersection of I-280 and Wolfe Road, APN 316-20-088.
Discussion
th
On October 17, 1974, an agreementwas established, between the Cityof Cupertino (“City”)
and Vallco Park, Ltd., a California limited partnership (“Vallco”), the property owner at the time.
In this agreement, the City offered to Vallco certain easements across Wolfe Road, in exchange
for easements permitting the construction andmaintenance of automobile parking structuresand
astation serving a proposed public rapid transit facility that was to be constructed contiguous
with I-280.This rapid transit facility and the subsequent parking structure were never
constructed,and there are currently no plans to construct these facilities. East West Bank, the
current owner of the property in question (APN 316-20-088), is requesting that the City
relinquish its interest within the property. Staff has determined that terminating the City’s
interest within this property can occur without adverse effect.
The easements that were provided to Vallco by the City have been utilized and are currently in
use. These easements allow for the pedestrian overcrossing of Wolfe Roadandare not proposed
for termination.In compensation for these easements, besides the subject rapid transit facility
easement, Vallco was also required to make twenty annual payments of $67,000 to the City.
256
The easement does not contain any public utility facilities and has not been used for the purpose
for which it was originally acquired, since its inception, which then allows for this summary
vacation. Upon recordation of this vacation, the easementwill be removed from the subject
property and no further action by the City will be required.

Discussion
Background
In 2005, the City acquired CALTRANS-owned,excess property on Cleo Avenue in order to
develop an affordable housing project. The City used Housing Mitigation fees to pay for the
property. In 2007, the Cityissued a Request for Proposals to affordable housing developers and
selectedHabitat for Humanity Silicon Valley to construct four single-family homes for low to
very low income Cupertino households. The City rezoned the property and set aside Community
Development Block Grant fundsto fund predevelopment costs.
Planning Commission
On June 14, 2011, the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously recommended approval
of the four unit,single-family residential development (Attachments A,B& C). Key Planning
Commissiontopics ofdiscussion are summarized as follows:
Fire engine access
Refuse pick up logistics
Impacts on adjacent properties
Common area maintenance program
Buyer selectionprocess for the homes
General parking considerations
For additional details, please refer to Attachment Cfor thedraftPlanning Commission hearing
minutes.
Parking Considerations
The applicant requests a parking exception to reduce theparking requirement from 2.8 stalls per
unit (12 stalls: 8 enclosed, 4 open) to 2.0 stalls per unit (8 open). The Planning Commission
agreed with the applicant thatthe size and shape of the lot,and CALTRANS easement across the
property,prohibit the addition of more parking without cutting into the landscape areas needed to
buffer the homes from the parking lot and screen the parking lot from Cleo Avenue.
279
The City has approvedprojects with less parking stalls per unit that are commensurate with the
smaller unit sizes. In addition,parking requirements for other cities (San Jose and Mountain
View) are also set at two or less stalls per unit for small lot single-family developments,
townhomes, and 2-bedroom dwellings.
The Planning Commission supports the applicant’s request and recommends that the Council
approve the project as proposed. Please review Attachments B (Planning Commission Staff
Report) and C (Draft Commission Meeting Minutes) for more detailed discussion.
Public Comments
A member of the public stated that the project should provide the full, code-required parking on
the property if there is space on the property to accommodate it. The development will have
guest parkingdemandsand should not rely on street parking.
Public Outreach & Notification
In addition to the City’s public hearing noticing, the applicant held two neighborhood meetings
for property owners within a 300-foot radius andother interested parties.
Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as a small, infill project. Project does not result
in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, hazardous materials or water
quality. Construction materials will ameliorate interior noise to City standards.

BACKGROUND:
Surrounding Land Uses
The applicant, Habitat for Humanity, proposes to develop a 4-unit, small lot single-family
residential development on a vacant, triangular-shaped lot on the south side of Cleo Avenue at
its terminus. The project site is surrounded by vacant land and Highway 85 on the north and
east sides, townhouses on the south side and a single-family residence to the west.
Applicant
The applicant, Habitat for Humanity, Silicon Valley, was founded in 1986 as an independent
affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Their mission is to work with the community to
provide families with low incomes the opportunity to build and own their own homes. To this
end, Habitat works in partnership with affordable housing providers and advocates,
eliminating substandard living conditions. Last year, Habitat Silicon Valley completed
th
construction of its 50 home built with volunteer labor.
Land Acquisition Process
In August 2005, the City acquired the excess property on Cleo Avenue from the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for $615,000 for development of an affordable housing
project. The City used Housing Mitigation fees for the purchase of the property.
In December 2007, City Council agreed to transfer the property to Habitat for Humanity Silicon
Valley for the construction of four single family homes for low to very low income Cupertino
households. The City rezoned the property from Multi-Family Residential (R3) to Planned
Development Residential - P (Res) in March 2008. Also in 2008, the City set-aside an additional
$250,932 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to be used for development
costs. This loan is to cover predevelopment costs such as architecture, NEPA/CEQA
preparation, civil engineering costs, etc. The loan is made at a below market interest rate with
the developer and carries favorable repayment terms. The loan term is usually 55 years or
more. However, if the homes ever cease to be affordable, then the loan becomes immediately
due and payable to the City.
Neighborhood Outreach
Habitat for Humanity has held two neighborhood meetings on November 6, 2008 and June 2,
2011 to familiarize its neighbors within a 300-foot radius with the details of the project.
Noticing of the hearing was placed in the Cupertino Courier and mailed to property owners
within a 300-foot radius.
296
ASA-2011-06, EXC-2011-06, TM-2011-01, U-2011-05 - Cleo Housing June 14, 2011
Residents attending the neighborhood meetings had several questions (staff responses are in
Italic below):
1)Is there a screening process for the potential buyers of the proposed homes?
Yes, Habitat for Humanity screens all potential buyers who must:
a) Meet certain income limitations,
b)Currently live or work in Cupertino,
c)Must contribute a certain amount of labor to build the homes,
d)Agree to take classes in home ownership.
Habitat for Humanity will be available at the hearing to answer other questions you may have about
their buyer screening.
2) How will the common areas be maintained?
Habitat for Humanity will require owners to record a maintenance agreement for the common areas
and pay regularly into a fund to pay for landscape maintenance services.
3) The exterior building setbacks seem small. How will privacy of adjacent properties be
protected?
Homes on Lots #1 & #4 were redesigned with high-sill, second floor windows facing adjacent
properties to avoid privacy view impacts since there is not adequate space for privacy planting in the
side yards. The Lot #3 home has privacy trees, which are depicted on the plan set.
DISCUSSION:
Site & Building Design
The site is accessed by a 20-foot wide driveway leading to an eight (8) car open parking lot.
Behind the parking, toward the rear of the lot, four small, 2-story wood frame single-family
residences are proposed to be clustered around a pedestrian pathway that connects the parking
lot at one end to a community garden/play area at the other end. The development area of the
property is constrained by a 17.5-foot wide existing storm drain and proposed sanitary sewer
easement area on the east side of the property.
The proposed side and front building setbacks range from 4 to 5 feet, while the rear setback is a
minimum of 10 feet to 21 feet. Houses are proposed to have composition roofs and Hardie lap
siding. For architectural interest, each house has a one story porch and wooden awning feature
over a door and window. Please see the plan set (attachment 5) for the detailed drawings.
Privacy Protection
The development will have views into the residential property to the west and possible views to
the properties to the south, which are separated from the project site by a 1 ½ story masonry
wall topped by 3-feet of lattice work. To address potential privacy concerns, the Plan 1 homes
on Lots 1 & 4 were redesigned with high sill windows facing toward the abutting properties.
The Plan 2 home on Lot 3 is proposing privacy trees next to the existing townhouses.
Parking Exception
The applicant requests a parking exception to reduce the parking requirements for the project
from 2.8 stalls per unit (12 stalls: 8 enclosed/4 open) down to 2.0 parking stalls per dwelling (8
open stalls). The Planning Commission may grant a parking exception contingent on making
297
ASA-2011-06, EXC-2011-06, TM-2011-01, U-2011-05 - Cleo Housing June 14, 2011
the following findings. Staff believes the findings can be made and recommends approval of
the parking exceptions (staff comments are in italics after each listed finding):
Parking Exception Findings
a.The literal enforcement of this chapter will result in restrictions inconsistent with the spirit
and intent of this chapter.
The intent of the parking ordinance is to regulate parking of vehicles which are unsightly, oversized or
which are detrimental to property values or the peace and enjoyment of neighboring property owners
or residents, and provide adequate amounts of parking for various land use activities. Staff believes
parking will be adequate for the proposed units at 2.0 spaces per unit for the following reasons: 1) The
lots and dwellings are small, about 1,500 square foot lots and 1,000 square foot homes with just 2
bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There is practically no expansion potential for these homes; 2) All of the
parking is open and cannot be converted to storage as might happen in a garage, so there will not be
the potential of any further reduction in parking supply; and Habitat for HumanityÔs development
experience with small-size home projects indicates that two parking spaces per dwelling is an adequate
parking ratio for smaller-size homes.
b.The granting of the exception will not be injurious to property or improvements in the area
nor be detrimental to the public safety, health and welfare.
Presently the proposed parking lot is set back a minimum of 30 feet from the property line and
screened from the neighborhood by a minimum 6-foot wooden fence. Further, since the site planning
is severely constrained on the property, any additional parking will remove landscaped areas and
potentially make the parking lot more visible to Cleo Avenue.
c.The exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification and the minimum
variance to accomplish the purpose.
The exception request amounts to a difference of only four stalls for four houses.
d.The proposed exception will not result in significant impacts to neighboring properties.
The project has little potential for increased parking demand and the requested exception amounts to
only four parking stalls, periodic additional demands by guests of residents can be accommodated by
available street parking in the cul-de-sac.
Other DepartmentsÔ Review
The CityÔs Public Works Department, Building Division, the Santa Clara County Fire
Department, and the Cupertino Sanitary District reviewed the project and have no objections to
the project. Their pre-hearing comments have been incorporated as conditions of approval or
project modifications.
Environmental Assessment
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
National Evironmental Policy Act (NEPA). The project was determined to be categorically
exempt from NEPA by the Director of Community Development on April 22, 2011. Under
CEQA the project is exempt under Section 15332: In-Fill Development Projects. Projects
considered under this category must meet the following conditions: a) consistent with general
plan and zoning; b) within City limits, parcel under 5 acres and substantially surrounded by
298
ASA-2011-06, EXC-2011-06, TM-2011-01, U-2011-05 - Cleo Housing June 14, 2011
development; c) property has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; d)
site is adequately served by all required utilities and public services and e) approval of project
would not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
Construction measures will be incorporated in the housing to ameliorate interior noise to
acceptable levels.

Vice Chair Miller:
Said his issue was that if the building and site was initially designed for a specific use, he
would have difficulty saying years later that the applicant is going to have to change the uses
that the building was put to. If it was originally designed and approved as buildings for
multiple uses, that is one thing; but when it is specifically designed and being used for a single
use or certain category uses, it is difficult to make a determination after many years that we are
now going to change how the building is going to be used, even though the building may not
be designed for those other uses. He said that is why he did not see it setting a precedent or
creating issues for other applications coming in, and he felt it was reasonable to allow the
applicant the flexibility that he has always had with the building.
Com. Brownley:
Said that he agreed that the owner had a good understanding both from having owned the
building for a long time and understanding how to make the best use of the space. He agreed
that they should enable that flexibility especially if it was developed that way in the first place.
Com. Brophy:
Said one possibility is to allow 100% but consider the staff recommendation on excluding the
spaces that face directly onto DeAnza Boulevard, approximately 85%. Given the design of the
structure, it is not easily suited on the interior spaces for many general commercial uses.
Com. Brownley:
Said he liked the idea; looking at the building next door that shares the parking lot, it looks like
it is being renovated and will have doors facing DeAnza and there will also be adjacent
properties with that same look and feel, so it would fit within that sidewalk section.
Com. Brophy:
Suggested phrasing it to exclude that the front spaces 107, 108, 208, 209 be reserved for uses
permitted under the general commercial ordinance; staff can clean up the language on the final
document.
Gary Chao:
If that is the direction, he suggested avoiding using number of tenant spaces because that
changes sometimes; either square footage, or the fact that the tenant spaces that have footage
along DeAnza, are good references for consideration.

Colin Jung, Senior Planner, presented the staff report:
Reviewed the application from Habitat for Humanity for Tentative Map, Use Permit,
Architectural and Site Approval and Parking Exception, for construction of four single-family
residences on 0.30 acres, as outlined in the staff report. He reviewed the background of the
application and the project site data. Staff feels that there will not be a significant economic
impact from the project; and feels it will improve the neighborhood as presently the area is in a
state of blight.
Staff answered questions relative to the project.
Chris Weaver, Director of Development, Habitat for Humanity, Silicon Valley:
Answered questions relative to the maintenance agreement between home owners and Habitat
for Humanity and explained the selection process for potential home owners. Preference is
given to current Cupertino residents, they must provide 500 sweat equity hours of labor in
building the home; and they must fulfill requirements similar to those of regular mortgage
applicants, and have a good credit rating and the ability to manage the mortgage payments.
Chair Lee opened the public hearing.
Jennifer Griffin, Rancho Rinconada resident:
Said she felt the potential homeowners should be entitled to the same Cupertino parking
standards of 2.8 spaces, not the modified 2 spaces.
Chris Weaver:
Said Habitat for Humanity would provide the full 2.8 spaces per unit if possible; however, the
space for the project is limited. She noted that Habitat for Humanity’s regulations permit 2
persons per bedroom, and the proposed units are 2 bedroom units; therefore only 4 people
would be permitted in each unit and 2 spaces per unit is adequate.
Motion: Motion by Vice Chair Miller, second by Com. Brownley, and unanimously
carried 5-0-0, to approve Application U-2011-05, ASA-2011-06, EXC-2011-06,
TM-2011-01, per the model resolution.
5. U-2010-02, TR-2011-09 Use Permit to allow a new daycare facility at an existing
Tony Chen (Yunjian Zou/ office building. Tree Removal Permit to allow the removal
O-Mei Academy) and replacement of 3 trees in conjunction with parking lot
10070 Imperial Ave. and landscaping improvements at a new daycare facility.
Planning Commission decision final unless appealed.
George Schroeder, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report:
Reviewed the applicationfor Use Permit for a daycare center and tree removal permit for
removal and replacement of three trees, on Imperial Avenue, as outlined in the staff report.
The proposed site is located in an area with general commercial uses, condos, single family
housing and automotive repair uses; the playground does not abut the residential area. The
existing business operates as a martial arts academy and a dance studio, which will be
expanded to operate a day care/after school program serving up to 40 children. The business
currently operates as a heritage school which is not subject to State Depa0rtment of Social
Services regulations.
The site is currently accessed by one existing non-conforming 16-foot wide driveway entrance
from Imperial Avenue. Staff is requiring the applicant to widen the driveway to 22 feet to
allow for safer passage of ingress and egress vehicles; existing power poles and cable utility
box must be removed in order to facilitate the widening of the driveway.
Staff supports the project and recommends Planning Commission approval of the application
