BACKGROUND
June 12, 2007 Planning Commission meeting
The Planning Commission originally considered a request by the applicant to add 117
additional apartment units at the Villa Serra and Grove apartment complexes with a
variance from the required R3 front, side and rear yard setbacks and a parking
exception to allow a lesser number of parking spaces than the required 2 parking spaces
per unit. The project also included a request to remove a total of 123 trees from the
project site due to the future location of the new units and the failing health of existing
(primarily pine) trees on site. As a result of the meeting and public testimony, the
Planning Cormnission continued the project to the June 26 meeting with the following
additional corrunents:
· Study the possibility of eliminating the need for a variance from the front yard
setback requirements along Homestead Road and N. Stelling Road and from the
side yard setback requirements for the R3 zone. _
· Consider removing parking next to the park along Franco Court.

· Study the possibility of eliminating the need for a parking exception.
· Study the possible conflict between additional street parking along Franco Court
and access for commercial trucks to the shopping center, the mini-storage facility
and the adjacent residential condominium complex.
· Consider providing an additional pedestrian access from Villa Serra to Franco
Court.
· Identify particular green building standards to incorporate into the project.
· Address discrepancies between the arborist tree removal plan, civil drawing and
the landscape plan, as noted by the City Arborist.
· Address the relocation of the City's Traffic Operations Center (fOC). _
· Provide clarification of school policies on the potential for redirecting students to
Nimitz elementary from Garden Gate elementary.
· Discus accommodations for trash/ recycling.
DISCUSSION
June 26, 2007 Planning Commission meeting
The Commission considered a revised proposal submitted by the applicant that
responded to the Commission's comments. The revised' proposal resulted in a
reconfiguration of the site plan, including the loss of one apartment unit bringing the
total addition to 116 apartment units, and elimination of the need for a variance from
the front yard setback requirements along Homestead Road and N. Stelling Road and
from the side yard setback requirements. The revised plans also included removal of
parking adjacent to the park along Franco Court to widen the proposed public park~
identification of particular green building standards that will be incorporated into the
project, revision of the total parking count to 889 spaces (1.76 spaces/unit) and a tree
removal plan that is consistent with the civil and landscape plans and proposes the
removal of 92 trees in conjunction with the development.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the architectural and site
approval, variance, tree removal and environmental assessment on a 5-0 vote with
additional conditions of approval for the architectural and site approval resolution and
removal of a condition (No. 22a) regarding the relocation of the Gty's Traffic
Operations Center (TOC) for a public park. The Commission also recommended
approval on a 4-1 vote (Wong voted no) of the parking exception to allow 1.76 parking
spaces per unit rather than the required 2 parking spaces per unit.
The Planning Commission decided to take out Condition No. 22a (park site and
relocation of the Traffic Operations Center) as recommended by staff at the meeting
from the architectural and site approval resolution and to consider this condition
separately. Two motions were made to resolve this issue. The first motion failed on a 2-
3 vote. Another motion was made to include Condition No. 22a as proposed by staff at
the meeting that - would require the removal of the cargo container and replacement
with a new storage building. However, this motion also failed on a 2-2-1 vote (Wong
and Miller voted no, Giefer abstained). Consequently, the Planning Commission did
not make a recommendation on this condition. The principal issue concerning this

July 3, 2007
condition revolved around whether to make the applicant responsible for replacing the
existing cargo container with a new storage building.
The additional conditions the Planning Commission recommended for the architectural
and site approval resolution mclude:
.
Plant a double row of high canopy trees (such as Americana ash and london
plane trees) along N. Stelling Road, and refer the landscape street improvement
plans for both Homestead Road and N. Stelling Road to the Design Review
Committee for review and approval.
Widen the radius on the southwest comer of Homestead Road and Franco Court
in conjunction with the development of the public park.
Maintain Franco Court with the existing 40-foot curb-to-curb width.
Remove all parking along Franco Court.
Remove the driveway access from Villa Serra to Franco Court.
Eliminate the restroom requirement in Condition No. 22b (park Improvement).
The Planning Commission felt that the provision of a restroom facility in a small
neighborhood park is not necessary. -
Require a 50/50 split between the applicant and the City to pay the pedestrian
connection enhancement contribution of $50,000 for pedestrian scaled lighting,
paving materials, railings and/ or repainting along the east side of the N. Stelling
Road bridge that crosses over Interstate 280 (Condition No. 21).
Require a 50/50 split between the applicant and the City to pay for park
maintenance fees of up to $50,000 annually for continued maintenance of the
public park (Condition No. 22e).
Modify the green building list of standards the applicant is required to
incorporate into the project by eliminating item no. 1 (since provision of public
amenities is not a green building solution), including energy star washer and
dryers in the appliances list in item no. 22, and including language in item no. 29
to require that the Design Review Committee review and approve the final
details of the applicant's provision of a photovoltaic system to carry 100% of the
electrical load of the recreation/leasing office building with the proviso that the
cost of the system is paid back in ten years with such incentives as energy
savings, rebates, tax credits, state renewable energy incentives, federal tax credits
and federal accelerated depreciation.

Traffic Operation Center
Condition No. 22a (See Exhibit B) as recommended by staff involves relocation of the
City's TOC site to the south end of a one-acre parcel to be created for future
development of a public park at the southwest corner of Homestead Road and Franco
Court. - The condition also requires relocation of all existing structures on site to the
new location, except for the cargo container, which is to be removed from the site and
replaced with a new storage building at the new location. Staff is requiring the removal
of the cargo container because cargo containers used as outdoor storage units are not
permitted within the City.

July 3, 2007
During the meeting, the applicant stated concerns about replacing the cargo container
with a new storage building because he felt it would not be equitable to be required to
build a new storage structure at the new Toe location as opposed- to relocating the _
cargo container on site.
Some Commissioners :were receptive to the applicant's concerns and recommended that
the condition be amended to allow the City and applicant to work together to come to
an agreement on language within the condition. However, other Commissioners
disagreed and felt that the applicant should be required to fully fund the relocation of
the TOC, including replacement of the cargo container with a new storage -building. As
a result after two failed motions, the Commission could not forward a recommendation
on this condition to the Council.
The Public Works Director has included a memo (See Exhibit A) strongly
recommending that Condition No. 22a as recommended by staff be included and
enforced in conjunction with the project to require the applicant to fully fund the
relocation of the TOC. However, to respond to the applicant's concerns, the Pllblic
Works Director is also recommending additional language be added requiring that the
applicant relocate or install a new storage facility at the new TOC location at a cost that
would be capped not to exceed $50,000. This would eliminate the applicant's concerns
about an unknown cost of providing and installing a new storage facility on site. If the
- City Council agrees with the sentiment of some of the Commissioners, the Council has
the option of utilizing the park funds of approximately $400,000 received from this
development to replace the cargo container with a storage building and/ or incorporate
a bathroom facility.
Pedestrian Connection Enhancement
The Planning Commission modified the condition of approval recommended - by staff
(Condition No. 21). Staff recommended that the applicant contribute $50,000 for
pedestrian enhancements on the east side of the N. Stelling Road bridge crossing over
Interstate 280. However, the Commission recommended that the cost be shared 50%
with the City, which would mean that the applicant would be required to only partially
fund the enhancements with a $25,000 contribution and the City would have to fund the
remainder. The Commission also required the same of the Las Palmas application for
pedestrian enhancements along the west side of the N. Stelling Road bridge. The Las
Palmas application located across the street from the Villa Serra project on Stelling Road
was heard at the Planning Commission subsequent to the Villa Serra project. Staff is not
aware that additional funds are available in the City to fund these enhancements, and
therefore, recommends that Council consider staff's recommended condition of
approval.
Franco Court/Park Widening
The revised site plan submitted by the applicant removed the previously proposed
parallel street parking along Franco Court to widen the park as suggested by a resident
of the condominium complex. However, during public testimony, many residents of the
11 - 5
ASA-2007-03, V-2007-02, EXC-2007-06, TR-2007-02, EA-2oo7-02
Page 6
July 3, 2007
Celeste Circle condominium complex voiced concerns about narrowing the street from
its current curb-to-curb width of 40 feet to 32 feet to accommodate a widened public
park at the comer of Franco Court and Homestead Road.
. The Commission recommended not widening the park and maintaining the current
roadway width of Franco Court at 40 feet from curb-to-curb, primarily because of
concerns related to the possibility of impacts between commercial truck movements
along Franco Court and the existing residential traffic from the condominium complex.
The Commission also recommended removing the driveway access from the Villa Serra
project site to Franco Court.
Staff hoped that widening of the park and increasing the radius of the comer of Franco
Court and Homestead Road would provide opportunities for enhancing the appearance
of Franco Court and the entry to the Celeste Circle condominiums. Staff also hoped that
the proposed driveway access from Villa Serra to Franco Court would be allowed as a
safe circulation option for the Villa Serra residents.
For comparison purposes regarding the width of Franco Court, staff would like to note
that Perimeter Road at the Cupertino Square shopping center has a curb-to-curb
roadway width of 32 feet and adequately accomm:odates both commercial truck and car
access. Additionally, the applicant provided a civil drawing that indicates that the
narrowed roadway width could work by including truck turning tempiates in the
drawing. However, since the narrowing of Franco Court is opposed by the
condominium owners and the Public Works Department, staff believes that no
modifications should be made to Franco Court at this time.
Tree Removals
The applicant is intending to remove a total of 92 trees in conjunction with the
development of the new units. Staff has reviewed the location of these trees and
believes that there may be a possibility of saving some of these trees if the applicant
provides particular protective measures, such as pier and on-grade beam construction
measures for the new buildings. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to
retain trees 9, 16, 21, 33, 34, 35, and 38 along the Homestead Road frontage if possible.
These trees are primarily Monterey pine trees and coast redwoods. Staff also
recommends retaining trees 215, 216, 217, 218, 207, 230, 232, and 233 at the southwest
comer of the site along Stelling Road if possible. These trees are mature coast redwood
trees. Further staff also recommends retaining some interior trees, including trees 61
(Olive), 310 (coast redwood) and 150 (Chinese elm), if possible. If the City Council
agrees to retain these trees as recommended by staff, this will require that a condition
be added to the project.
Park
The project site is located in the Homestead Road area, which is an area designated by
the General Plan to incorporate public park area. The parkland dedication requirement
is equal to a minimum of three acres for each 1,000 residents. According to the General
11 - 6
ASA-2007-03, V-2OO7-02, EXC-2007-06, TR-2007-02, EA-2007-02
Page 7
July 3, 2007
Plan, the Homestead Road area is designated to provide 3.5 acres of parkland based
upon this requirement. Therefore, passive public park area within this neighborhood is
needed according to the General Plan. Currently, the closest public park is located
approximately a half mile away on Hollenbeck Road in the City of Sunnyvale.
Public Comments
The Commission also heard from members of the public who expressed the folloWing
concerns:
· Widening of the park and narrowing of Franco Court will create additional
traffic impacts for the condominium residents. -
· Franco Court is already impacted by commercial trucks that access the street;
additional traffic and parking along the street will further impact access.
· Street parking along Franco Court should not be permitted.
· Allowing a driveway and pedestrian access from Villa Serra to Franco Court will
create safety problems on the street for pedestrians due to additional cars on the
street.
· Creating a park along a busy street such as Homestead Road will create safety
problems, particularly for children.
· Development appears too dense.
· No exceptions should be granted for the project.
· H parking cannot be accommodated on site, apartment residents will begin
parking in the Celeste Court condominium site and on the adjacent commercial
parking lot.
Summary
The proposed layout of the project involves enhancing the streetscape and providing a
facelift along N. Stelling Road and Homestead Road by adding new units that frame the
street frontages and include entry stoops facing the street, a new passive public park
along Homestead Road and new landscaping along both the Homestead and Stelling
Road frontages. The applicant was encouraged to bring the new buildings closer to the
street to provide publicly visible frontages for the project site.
The project is also proposed to be developed at the lowest density range for this site in
accordance with the General Plan. The proposed project has a density of 20 units per
acre; the General Plan designation for this site allows for a density range of 20-35 units
per acre. Therefore, staff believes the additional units will bring the project site into
compliance with the General Plan while minimizing the additional density on site.

AGENDA ITEM

AGENDA DATE July 3.2007
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Villa Serra/The Grove Project - Conditions for Any Proposed Relocation of the City
Traffic Operations Center
BACKGROUND
On June 26,2007, the Cupertino Planning Commission approved the Villa Serra/The
Grove Project, which had included a number of conditions recommended by staff The
project, located at 20800 Homestead Road is an application by Prometheus to expand and
renovate the existing Villa Serra complex.
A condition of particular importance to the City is the potential relocation of the City's
Traffic Operation Center / Service Yard (TOC), located on Franco Court, to allow for a
larger proposed park on Franco Court adjacent to Villa Serra. Condition No. 22,
Dedication, Improvement and Maintenance of Land for Public Park Purposes, specifies the
conditions and obligations of the developer for the relocation of the TOC. The specific
condition that was considered by the Planning Commission is as follows:
"Park site and relocation of the Traffic Operations Center
The ~pplicant shall work with the City to obtain a lot line adjustment with the
existing the existing City owned parcel at the northeast comer of the project site to
create a one-acre parcel for the future development of a public park and to
incorporate the City's Traffic Operations Center and optional parking area. The
applicant shall dedicate their portion of the parcel to the City. The applicant shall
- fully fund relocation of the Traffic Operations Center to the south end of the one-
acre parcel adjoining its present location including relocating the existing shed
structure and modular office and extending electrical and fiber optic cabling. The
cargo container shall be removed from the property and replaced with a new storage
building of an equivalent size. The entire site shall be screened with six-foot high
solid board "good neighbor" redwood fencing with gated access for city vehicles.
Dedication - and assurance of the relocation cost shall be accomplished prior to
issuance of building permits and the move completed prior to release of final
occupancy permits unless a suitable surety is provided subject to the approval of the
Public Works Director."
11-8A
This condition is also included in the Community Development Director's report to the
Council. At the hearing, the Planning Commission considered these conditions, heard from
staff and the Developer on the matter but for some reason, the Commission Chair
abstained on the vote resulting in a 2-2 vote on this condition which effectively fails to
forward a recommendation to the Council on this issue. In so doing, it creates the
potential for considerable, but yet unknown, cost exposure to the City if the developer
were not required to pay for the relocation of the TOC ill its entirety.
One issue noted by the developer was the uncertainty. of replacing the cargo container
with a storage building in lieu of relocating the container. Staff does not believe that
represents - a large expense but to address that _ single point of contention, staff would
recommend that the cost of either relocating or installing a new storage facility, subject to
the approval ofthe Director of Public Works, be cappe4 at a cost not to exceed $50,000.
As a result; staff feels very strongly that this condition must be included and enforced as
part of this development. However, if the TOC were not relocated the cost exposure
would not be a consideration but it would limit the potential for additional park space in
the development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Condition No. 22 of the Planning Commission Report requiring the developer
of the Villa SerralThe Grove project to pay all costs of the relocation of the TOe,
including but not limited to dedication or purchase of land, full cost of replacement or
relocation of all facilities (except that the cost to the developer of the single storage
facility would not exceed $50,000), reconnection to the fiber optic trunk line, and other
improvements necessary to complete the relocation including the - addition of water and
sewer connections and a permanent restroom.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Summary .
AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA DATE Julv 3. 2007
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Villa Serra/The Grove Project - Conditions for Any Proposed Relocation of the City
Traffic Operations Center
BACKGROUND
On June 26,2007, the Cupertino pianning Commiss~on approved the Villa Serra/The
Grove Project, which had included a nUmber of conditions recommended by staff. The
project, located at 20800 Homestead Road is an application by Prometheus to expand and
renovate the existing Villa Serra complex.
A condition of particular importance to the City is the potential relocation of the City's
Traffic Operation Center I Service Yard (TOe), located on Franco CoUrt, to allow for a
larger proposed park on Franco Court adjacent to Villa Serra. Condition No. 22,
Dedication, Improvement and ~tenance of Land for Public Park Purposes, specifies the.
conditions and obligations of the developer for the relocation of the TOC. The specific
condition that was considered by the Planning Commission is as follows:
"Park site 'and relocation of the Traffic ODerations Center
The applicant shall work with the City to obtain a lot line adjustment with the
existing the existing City owned parcel at the northeast corner of the project site to
create a one-acre parcel for the future development of a public park and to
in COl;'P 0 rate the City's Traffic Operations Center and op~onal parking -area. The
applicant shall dedicate their portion of the parcel to the City. The applicant shall
fully fund relocation of the Traffic Operations Center to the south end of the one-
acre parcel adjoining its present location induding relocating the existing shed
structure and modular office and extending electrical and fiber optic cabling. The
cargo container shall be removed from the property and replaced with a new storage
building of an equivalent size. The entire site shall be screened with six-foot high.
solid board "good neighbor" redwood fencing with gated access for city vehicles.
Dedication and assurance of the relocation cost shall be accomplished prior to
issuance of building permits ~nd the move completed prior to release of final
occupancy permits unless a suitable surety is provided subject to the approval of the
Public Works Director."
11 - 26
Printed on Recyr;/ed Paper
This condition is also included in the Community Development Director's. report to the
Council. At the hearing, the Planning Commission considered these conditions, heard from
staff and the Developer on the matter but for' some reason, the Commission Chair
abstained on the vote resulting in a 2-2 vote on this condition which effectively fails to
forward a recommendation to the Council on this. issue. In so doing, it creates the
potential for considerable, but yet unknown, cost exposure to the City if the developer
were not required to pay for the relocation of the TOC in its entirety.
One issue noted by the developer was the uncertainty of replacing the cargo container
with a storage building in lieu- of relocating the container. Staff does not believe that
represents a large expense but to address that single po~t of contention, staff would
recommend that the cost of either relocating or installing a new storage facility, subject to
.the approval of the Director of Public Works, be capped at a cost not to exceed $50,000.
. As a result, staff feels very strongly that this condition must be inc::luded and .enforced as
part of this development. However, if the Toe were not relocated the cost exposure
would not be. a consideration but it would limit the potential for additional park space in
the development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of Condition No. 22 of the Planning Commission Report requiring the developer
of the Villa SerralThe Grove project to pay all costs of the relocation of the TOC,
including but not limited to dedication or purchase of land, -full cost of replacement or
relocation of all facilities (except. that the cost to the developer of the single storage
facility would not exceed $50,000), reconnection _to the fiber optic trunk line, and other
improvements necessary to complete the relocation including the addition of water and
sewer connections and a permanenfrestroom.

PROTECTING OPEN SPACE AND PROMOTING LIVABLE COMMUNITIES

Mayor Kris Wang
And City Councilmembers
City of Cupertino
10300 Torre Avenue
Cupertino, CA 95014
RE: Villa Serra Project - SUPPORT
Dear Mayor Wang and Councilmembers,
Greenbelt Alliance, the Bay Area's land conservation and urban planning organization, endorses
the Villa Serra development proposed by Prometheus Real Estate. Our Compact Development
Team's (CDT) careful review of this project revealed its increased density to be a step in the right
direction for this area. The CDT evaluated Villa Serra using an established set of guidelines
designed with the goal of promoting compact infill development patterns and livable, transit-
accessible communities with a wide range of housing options for families of all sizes and income
levels.
The existing Villa Serra development features 388 units of infill housing, and Prometheus' project
proposes the addition of 117 new units to bring the project up to a total of 505 units. The
location of the project, particularly its proximity to a large amount of neighborhood-serving
retail, makes it an ideal place for increasing housing density and for beefing up the housing supply
in a jobs-rich area. Current and future residents of Villa Serra can walk to buy groceries, fill a
prescription, or go out to eat, thus greatly reducing the traffic impacts of this project. The new
Villa Serra project will better the pedestrian experience by offering welcoming front stoops along
Homestead Road; by reducing the overall footprint of the property dedicated solely to parking; by
providing additional access points between the property and the nearby shops; and by creating
and providing access to a new 2/3-acre public park directly adjacent to the site.
In Cupertino and throughout the Bay Area, skyrocketing home prices mean that a majority of
police officers, fire fighters, and teachers cannot afford to live where they work. One significant
gain in your approval of this project will be the introduction of affordability to this development.
Around 18 units, or 15 % of the 117 proposed units, will be reserved for families with moderate,
low, or very low incomes. Greenbelt Alliance urges the City Council to ensure that as many of
these units as possible are reserved for low and very-low income residents.
Due to increased transit ridership and financial constraints, low-income families are less likely to
own more than one vehicle. In addition, Feer and Pehr's traffic study for Villa Serra has revealed
there is demand for only 1.28 parking spaces per unit, although City requirements call for 2
spaces per unit. The City of Cupertino would be wise to heed the findings of traffic consultants
and allow Prometheus to build only 1.8 spaces for each unit in the new development. Given rising
concerns about global climate change, one key way to reduce unnecessary car trips is by providing

only as much parking as is needed while expanding and encouraging other modes of
transportation.
One of the drawbacks of this site, however, is its lack of major transit access. Many residents will
likely be encouraged to ride transit simply because it offers quick access to major employers like
Apple-but Prometheus can further encourage transit ridership by making improvements to bus
shelters adjacent to the site as a part of this project. Another way for the developer to offer
appealing transportation options to future residents is by providing a secure bike storage room
on-site.
In closing, we encourage the City Council's support of the Villa Serra Project as a means of
protecting open space and discouraging undesirable sprawl development.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
On behalf of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, I am writing to express our
support of the Villa Serra Apartment development, a 24 acre site on Homestead Road
in Cupertino, proposed by the Prometheus Real Estate Group.
By way of background, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, founded in 1978 by
David Packard of Hewlett Packard, represents more than 200 of Silicon Valley's most
respected employers. The Leadership Group members collectively provide nearly
250,000 local jobs, or one of every four in the private sector in Silicon Valley.
The Silicon Valley Leadership Group is keenly interested in creating more homes in
Silicon Valley. In fact, the Leadership Group's most recent CEO survey reveals that
housing, once again, is the top impediment to doing business in Silicon Valley. We
are in support of the Villa Serra Apartments, which will work to alleviate some of the
housing pressure in the area. We commend the developer for better utilizing this
site, given the scarcity of land upon which to build homes and believe this proposed
apartment complex is a natural fit for this area in Cupertino. In addition, 15% of the
homes in Villa Serra will be affordable, which will allow low- and middle-income
families to plant roots in Cupertino.
We encourage your support of Villa Serra Apartments. Thank you for your
consideration of our comments.

Re: 117 additional multi-family units to be constructed at the existing Villa Serra
Apartments site.
Dear Mayor Wang and Members of the City Council:
I am writing to express my strong support of the above-referenced project. As business owners
of the adjacent PW Supermarket and owners of the shopping center, we are requesting that the
City approve this project as planned. Increasing our customer base by having more housing
nearby positively impacts our business. The proposed buildings to front Homestead and Stelling
(with stoops leading directly to the sidewalk) is an excellent design which will encourage
residents to walk to nearby retailers. With the addition of the new buildings and the
improvements to the existing buildings the "gateway" experience from Sunnyvale into Cupertino
will be greatly improved.
Sincerely,
/

affordable to families and workers in Silicon Valley. Organizations participating in the HAC
include the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, the Home Builders Association, Greenbelt Alliance,
the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters, Santa Clara County Association of Realtors, and
the California Apartment Association Tri-County Division.
The Association of Bay Area Governments recently released the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation and Cupertino's housing need is 1,117 by the year 2014. This allocation was
detennined with widespread collaboration between cities all across the Bay Area and is
indicative of our collective acknowledgment of where housing growth should occur.
For this reason, it is important that cities such as Cupertino continue to work hard to identify
appropriate sites to build more intensely upon. The Villa Serra proposal is a good example of
this, providing much-needed homes proximate to jobs. Additionally, the design of the project
will encourage people to walk to nearby retail amenities, eliminating car trips. This is an
important element in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
We are also pleased that the approval of this proposal will bring online 15 homes affordable to
lower income families. These homes will help ensure that Cupertino remains a place that is
committed to housing all income levels-all who contribute to every aspect of our community
and economy.
We encourage the City's support of Villa Serra. Thank you for your consideration of our
comments.
Sincerely,
~iJ

Dera Peter and Lilian,
Thank you for your comments. You made some good points, particularly about the rounding of the
comer. I noticed that you copied staff. They will pass your comments on when the application is next
heard by the City Council.

Subject: Comments on Villa Serra Development (ASA-2007-03)
Dear Cupertino Planning Commission,
My wife and I are residents of the DeAnza-Forge condominiums on
Celeste Circle and have been following the Villa Serra development
discussion (ASA-2007-03 et al). We attended the June 12 meeting and
watched the June 26 meeting online. We have a few comments and
suggestions that we'd like to make following tonight's meeting.
Overall, we are in favor of the development. We like the idea of
having a green park so near and do not object to the additional
rental units nearby.
Traffic on Franco Ct is the only major issue. We are glad that the
street will be kept parking-free and its current width. The decision
7/3/07
Page 2 of2
to round the west corner of the Homestead-Franco corner, though, we
think is a mistake.
The rounding was proposed to aid large trucks turning into Franco
Ct. However, trucks come almost exclusively from the east, so
rounding the west corner won't provide significant extra room. What
it will do is make it easier to speed through a right turn from
Homestead into Franco Ct, which will make for a less safe
intersection. The corner is currently unsafe because it is largely a
blind corner due to the existing opaque fencing that exists right up
to the edge of Franco Ct, hiding any pedestrians that may be walking
along the curb. The addition of the park, if properly landscaped,
will provide much greater visibility for traffic turning right.
Rounding the curb, though, would counteract the safety benefit of the
improved visibility. Please keep the corner square.
We agree with the other Celeste Circle residents who spoke at the
meeting that adding the extra Villa Serra entrance/exit on Franco Ct
will likely be a significant contributor to congestion and increased
pedestrian Gay-walking) traffic on Franco Ct. We understand the
benefits to Villa Serra residents, but would hope all other options
are explored before adding a 7th entrance (main entrance from
Homestead, 2 to mall parking lot, 1 to the mall loading docks, I to
Celeste Circle, and I to the storage facility) onto Franco Ct, which
is only ~200 yards long. The road is the only access to Celeste
Circle and the storage facility and the primary access for large
trucks to the loading docks.
One thought on making the Homestead entrance to Villa Serra safer is
to add protective left turn medians like exist in front of the
Homestead Square Shopping Center one block east, between DeAnza and
Franco. Homestead Rd is a 5-lane road in front of Villa Serra (as it
is in front of the mall), but the left turn lane in front of Villa
Serra has no medians to protect and guide traffic, making it more
hazardous. Perhaps if medians were added there, the safety concerns
of Villa Serra residents could be addressed without impinging on
existing Franco Ct users.
Thank you,
Peter and Lilian Wilson
