The City Clerk explained that the City Council must fill the vacancy by appointment by
August 8, or call an election for February 5, 2008. She said the estimated cost of a
February election would be $50,000.
EJ. Conens recommended that the position be left vacant. The City Attorney explained
that was not an option. Council must appoint a replacement or call a special election
within 30 days of the resignation.
The following individuals recommended that the City Council fill the position by special
election in February, and leave the position vacant until then: Ned Britt, Dennis
Whittaker, Clyde Brown, Tom Hugunin, S. Nomanbhoy, Jennifer Griffin, Keith Murphy,
Simon Ko, Frank Sun, Barry Pangrle and Eva Wong.
Councilmember Mahoney supported a special election. He believed it was an unfair
advantage if someone were appointed. Councilmember Lowenthal was in favor of
appointing someone who was not currently a candidate, and someone who was
experienced in local government, and suggested this be done at another meeting so that
interested residents could apply. Councilmember Sandoval was also in favor of making
an appointment because important issues were coming up for the Council to decide, and
recommended making an appointment immediately. Mayor Wang preferred a special
election. The City had been in this position before and a seat had been left vacant for a
long time. She believed two weeks was too short a time in which to make an
appointment.
Mahoney/Wang moved and seconded to adopt Resolution No. 07-146 which called a
special election for February 5, 2008, to fill the vacancy. The motion carried
unanimously.
Councilmember Lowenthal said that he voted for the special election because it was clear
the effective consensus was for a special election. He felt it was important that Council
reach consensus on this issue. Councilmember Sandoval said the one reason she would
vote for the special election was that in two' or four weeks the Council would have no
option. She would rather see Council take action on this matter and would vote for it even
though she did not agree.
25. Consider appointin~ a new vice-mayor.
Mahoney moved and Lowenthal seconded to appoint Council member Dolly Sandoval as
Vice-Mayor. The motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
20. Consider Application Nos. U-2007-03, ASA-2007-05, TM-2008-07, TR-2007-03, EXC-
2007-08, Clifford Chang. 10100 N. Tantau, APN 316-19-061. (Continued from July 3):
a) Use Permit and Architectural Site Review to construct a 10,650 square foot retail
building and one level parking garage on an existing office site
b) Tentative Map to subdivide an existing 9.4-acre site into two parcels,
approximately .9 and 8.4 acres respectively.
c) Tree Removal and replanting in conjunction with a proposed 10,650 square foot
retail building and a one-level parking garage at an existing office site
d) Exception to the Heart of the City Specific Plan for a front setback
John Zai, Sanyo Property Company, noted that their goal was to provide retail vitality to
this section of Stevens Creek. He said that the property had mature and well established
trees and they were planning on more than a one-for-one tree replacement program. He
said even though they had the option of paying in-lieu fees he wanted to keep the trees on
site. Mr. explained that the parking provided was already on the high side, but if needed,
additional parking could be added to the parking structure. They would support a
crosswalk on Stevens Creek particularly as they were eager to attract pedestrian clientele.
Lighting will also be installed as required.
Clifford Chang, Chang Architecture, commented on the circulation of the site, parking
and outdoor seating area as part of their effort to activate street frontage on Stevens
Creek. He addressed the symmetrical look of the plan and the dynamic feel of the project
including the use of glass, the two-color scheme and the use of different textures. He
said that the green aspects of the project included addressed permeability, the use of
pavers and decomposed granite, drought tolerant plants, high performance glass,
overhangs, roofing materials, air conditioning system and recycled materials. Mr. Chang
also noted that they would provide bicycle racks and lockers.

Jennifer Griffin felt there had been insufficient public outreach to the community and the
project was incomplete. She noted that the protection of the trees was important,
especially the double row of ash trees and the redwoods along 280. Ms. Griffin also
noted that the lawn berm was going to be lost which was part of the greenscape and
there was a security issue.
Don Burnett said that this corner was pedestrian unfriendly because there was no
crosswalk, even though there were retail stores across the street.
Council discussed pedestrian enhancements, parking, signage, tree replacement and a
parking management plan. Councilmember Lowenthal asked staff to provide information
about net trees and replacements (which should be at least one-to-one) on all future
similar projects.
Director of Community Development Steve Piasecki suggested four conditions, based on
the Council's discussion, as follows: (1) A retail parking management plan shall be
required which shall provide for retail employees to park in the garage, and provide
highly-visible signage which says that retail customers can park anywhere; and provide
bicycle parking in or around retail; (2) Trees shall be maximized on site and developer
shall replace as many trees onsite as possible, subject to the approval of the Community
Development Director; (3) Pedestrian walkways shall be enhanced which would be used
for enhanced pedestrian crosswalks, possibly for adding a walk across Stevens Creek
Boulevard and/or lighting walks as directed by the Public Works Department, in an
amount no-to-exceed $50,000; and (4) Fees in the resolution shall reflect current rates
instead of those shown in the staff report.
Lowenthal/Sandoval moved and seconded to approve the use permit and architectural site
review, subject to the conditions suggested at the meeting by the Community
Development Director. The motion carried unanimously.
Lowenthal/Sandoval moved and seconded to approve the tentative map. The motion
carried unanimously.
Lowenthal/Mahoney moved and seconded to approve the removal of 54 trees and a
replanting plan, subject to the conditions suggested by the Community Development
Director. The motion carried unanimously.
Council directed staff to agendize a discussion about removing traffic blocks, and to

Lowenthal/Sandoval moved and seconded to approve the exception to the Heart of the
City Specific Plan for a front setback. The motion carried unanimously.

on the installation and purchase cost of a replacement tree, as approved in the tree

RECESS
City Council recessed from 10:25 p.m. to 10:37 p.m.
23. Report on the R 1 ordinance regarding neighborhood meetings on the Residential Hillside
Ordinance.
The City Clerk distributed the following items:
· An email from Candan Taysi supporting the Planning staff's recommendation
· A flyer titled "Cupertino City Ordinance Reduces Your Property Value" urging the
removal of the ordinance
· A typed, unsigned statement expressing support for the existing overlay or Planning
staff recommendations
Director of Community Development Steve Piasecki noted that in April 2007 Council
had referred the RI hillside discussion back to the Planning Commission to consider a
possible specific treatment including properties zoned AI; to develop a plan with input
from the neighbors; and to report back to the Council on August 21. On August 14 of this
year the Planning Commission voted to delete Section 19.28.050 (C)1 and (C)2 for the
following reasons: Hillside preservation should be applied to the whole city; there were
some unintended consequences of the Rl 15% overlay resulting from the Rl 2005
ordinance amendment; current rules were too complicated; and concern with fairness in
terms of applicability of the rule. Piasecki said there were several ordinance options
before Council, including: Delete the code section per the Planning Commission's
recommendation; revert back to the RI hillside development standards pre 2005; retain
August 21, 2007
Cupertino City Council
Page 10
current Rl hillside development standards; or rezone to RHS and Rl Foothill, modified
with identified key provisions.
He asked that the City Council provide specific direction whether the Council would like
to consider an Rl zoning amendment, and if so, what options should be considered?
These options could include no amendment; and with direction, staff will publish the
ordinance amendment and will advertise the public hearing to modify the hillside
standards specifically to reflect the Council directions; and in the meanwhile any affected
property owners wishing to develop or remodel these homes under discussion may apply
for exceptions or variances from the current Rl ordinance.
Piasecki noted that staff s recommendation included the removal of all the toe of slope
lots which reduced the number of lots under discussion to 15. The staffs
recommendation also included modified building allowances and requirements for these
lots.
In an effort to clarify some of the issues before them, Council took straw votes and
concurred on two items: take no action required regarding the agricultural zone because it
was already zoned AI; and remove the Rl -10 toe of slope lots and direct staff to begin
the process of removing these lots.
The following people spoke in favor of removing the RHS overlay of RI properties:
Marie Liu, Shabbir Nomanbhoy, Ying Sosic, Inhwan Oh, Sarrah Nomanbhoy, John
Tompkins, Sylvia Noland, Clyde Brown, Maryan, Eric Carlson, SamShawki, Jamie
Shkolik, Nancy Wang, Chloe Li, Evan Li, Simon Ko, Eva Wong, Suzette Pangrle, Adam
Li, Rok Sosic, Frank Sun, Sham Zhu, Sunil Nethisinqme, Sherry Fang, Cameron Pangrle,
Barry Pangrle, John James, Candan Taysi and Mark Sanforo. They reasons they gave
included the following: It was an unfair ordinance; this was spot zoning for fifteen
properties which can't be seen from the valley floor; property values would be adversely
affected; the Planning Commission voted three times to remove it; and it increased
housing density and discouraged remodeling. In addition it was noted that spot zoning
was not the way to protect trees, limit house sizes, protect hillsides, reduce retaining
walls and protect the rural environment. All of these issues could be addressed in other
ways such as the tree ordinance, notification required for building projects and other city
regulations.
The Sara Arzeno and Ron Berti spoke in favor of keeping the RHS overlay. They noted
that the fifteen lots under discussion were hillside and needed to be treated differently and
that the hillsides needed to be protected.
Council took another straw vote and concurred they did not support Section 19.28.050
(C)I, the 15% RHS overlay.
Council addressed several questions regarding the issue before them. Were grading,
fencing, retaining walls, second stories and tree protection being considered as part of
hillside protection? If so, they could be addressed in other ways, Were these fifteen
homes enough in the hillside to require special treatment? Council also discussed visual
impacts and asked for clarification of what made these fifteen lots different. Staff
August 21, 2007
Cupertino City Council
Page 11
responded they had a 10 to 30% slope. Council agreed that any lots over 30% were not
under discussion here, had not been changed in the 2005 ordinance amendment, and
would require exemptions.
SandovallLowenthal moved and seconded that staff draft the following changes to the RI
hillside ordinance and present it to the Planning Commission for its recommendation to
the Council:
1. Exclude the AI properties from the hillside discussion
2. Exclude the RI-I0 (toe of slope) properties from Section 19.28.050 (C)1 and
process the ordinance amendment for this to happen as soon as possible
3. Delete only section (C)1 and evaluate and report back with a recommendation on
the following potential options: replace Section 19,28.050 (C)1 with some hillside
standards appropriate to the 15 RI hillside parcels remaining (including but not
limited to grading, fencing, tree preservation and house size); or delete Section
19.28.050 (C) 1 without any replacement measures or language; and retain C2 with
respect to all applicable properties (all Rl 'S). The motion carried unanimously.
