RESOLUTION NO. 121
OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO APPROVING
EXCEPTIONS TO ALLOW THE SECOND FLOOR TO EXCEED 35% OF THE FIRST
FLOOR, MORE THAN 50% OF SECOND STORY EXTERIOR W ALL HAVING VISIBLE
HEIGHTS GREATER THAN 6 FEET AND A SECOND STORY DECK EXCEPTION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 19.28 OF THE CUPERTINO MUNICIPAL CODE.
SECTION II: PROTECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: R-2003-13
Applicant/Owner: Moti Mizrahi
Location: 10725 Santa Lucia Road
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee of the City of Cupertino received an
application for a Fence Exception, as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee finds that the changes are beneficial and
compatible with the surrounding area and the following exception findings can be met;
1. That the literal enforcement of the provisions of this t will result in restrictions
inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title in that the proposed project is
consistent with the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance since it will not be
visible from the public street due to its unique topography thus not impacting
the streetscape of the neighborhood.
2. The granting of the exception will not result in a condition that is materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. The proposed project should
have no negative impacts on the public health, safety and welfare.
3. The exceptions to be granted are ones that will require the least modification of
the prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the
purpose. Due to the topographical limitations and the location of the existing
retaining walls, the proposed additions are occurring at the only plausible area
on the lot, which does require the least modifications to the prescribed
regulations in order to accomplish the expansion. The proposed addition is a
reasonable size so the modifications are warranted.

4. The proposed exception will not result in significant visual impact as viewed
from abutting properties. A large portion of the proposed second story addition
will be facing the rear of the site and will not be visible from the adjoining
properties. In addition, the project is required to plant City approved privacy
protection trees.
S. The proposed second story deck is designed such that it decreases pnvacy
intrusion to adjoining properties to the greatest extent.

That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter, the application no. R-2003-13, is hereby approved; and

Resolution are based and contained in the public hearing record concerning Application
R-2003-13 as set forth in the Minutes of the Design Review Committee Meeting of
September 17, 2002, and are incorporated by reference herein.
