Subject: Report of the Community Development Director
Planning Commission Agenda Date: Tuesday, July 12, 2011
The City Council met on July 5, 2011 and discussed the following item(s) of interest to the
Planning Commission:
1. Cleo Avenue Project (Habitat for Humanity) – City Council approved the project with the
following changes:
add a ninth parking space to the site plan for a parking ratio of 2.25 open stalls per dwelling
in lieu of the required 2.8 stalls (garage and open) per dwelling;
increase the side setback along the eastern edge from four feet to five feet;
set the affordability term for the project at 65 years; and
add articulation to the buildings along the eastern and southern property lines or, as an
alternative, add a landscape screen.
Miscellaneous Items:
1. Grants for Stevens Creek Corridor Park Phase 2 Project - On Tuesday June 28, the Santa Clara
Valley Water District Board of Directors voted to award two grants to the Stevens Creek
Corridor Park Phase 2 project. The Board unanimously supported awarding the City of
Cupertino a $285,000 Trail and Open Space grant, and a $565,000 Environmental Enhancement
Implementation grant. Public Works’ efforts to secure these grants were outstanding.
On Friday June 25, we submitted a new application for an Urban Greening grant for Stevens
Creek Corridor Phase 2. Awards will be decided in the early part of next year. In September
another promising grant program will be available, the Habitat Conservation Fund Program.
Stevens Creek Corridor Park Phase 2 creek restoration should be a good fit for this program.
2. Post-Construction Monitoring at 6191 Bollinger Road - Attached is a report on the post-
construction radio frequency (RF) energy monitoring for the Clearwire facility located at 6191
Bollinger Road. The facility has been up and working since February 2011 and the monitoring
indicates that the RF levels are within FCC guidelines.
