Re: 22241 McClellan Road
Dear Mr. Acenas,
At the request of David J. Powers and Associates Urban Programmers undertook research and evaluation of
the referenced property, owned by the City of Cupertino. Urban programmers has over 35 years' experience
in evaluating historic resources in Santa Clara County.
The methodology for the research was to use standard practices, information was gained from public records,
historical accounts. Repositories consulted included the Cupertino Library, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Library (California Room) in San Jose and the California History Center at De Anza College. Research was also
conducted using the internet to search U.S. Census records and City Directories.
The property was developed as an orchard in the early decades of the twentieth century. The first owners to
live on the property and develop the begging of the existing building were Felix and Cloninda Rossotto in
1936. Like many of the residents at that time, Felix had emigrated from Italy and tried several occupations
before settling with his own small fruit ranch. The best known of the owner/residents was Clifford J. and
Florence Simms who purchased the property in 1960. Simms began a career in Burlingame working with the
City's Streets Department. In Cupertino he operated a grading, earth moving, and construction company. In
summary, the owner/residents of the building were working families and not individually associated with
events or actions that contributed in a significant way to the history of Cupertino or Santa Clara County.
-The building was evaluated -as -part of the -residential -building -styles -in -Cupertino. -The-building-may have
begun as an ancillary shed, although it was not determined if the shed was removed or incorporated into the
house. Over the years the building was enlarged and had additions to all four facades. The total resulted is a
vernacular, eclectic building without definitive style or artistic merit.
Evaluation of the history and architecture concluded that the property does not qualify for listing in the
California Register of Historic Resources. Thus, the building is not a historic resource under CEQA.
Under cover of this letter you will find the research and evaluation are recorded on State of California
Department of Parks and Recreation Historic Survey forms (DPR 523).

The buffding is located at the bottom of a bluff with Stevens Creek on the other side. Mature trees are
along the creek and on the bluff side of the building. The building is accessed from McClellan Road, across an
expanse of packed earth. There is no planned landscaping on the 3.19 acre site. On the top of the bluff the
neighborhood has a mix of architecture with a recent contemporary style home the closest to the subject
property.
The subject house is a long, rectangular form oriented with the front facing west. The style of the house is best
termed eclectic with many additions and alterations enlarging, and virtually obliterating what appears to have
been a small worker's cabin. The front facade has been enlarged with an addition that extends the width of the
building and is covered with a flat roof exhibiting straight rafters. The original peaked roof is visible behind this

The building does not meet the criteria of the California Register of Historic Resources.
Until the propertywas sold to the City of Cupertino in 1990, the remodeled house was a single family residence that is
not associated with people or events of significance in either Santa Clara County or the City of Cupertino.
The property is shown in the 1876 Thompson &e West Historical Atlas of Santa Clara County as part of the 600 acres
belonging to W.T. McClelan (McClellan)., and no buildings are shown on the property. Santa Clara Valley Land
Company recorded a map of the subject property in 1917 and appears to have managed the orchard land with a caretaker
until 1936, That year the subject land was sold by Tom Gally and Melvin Mensor to Felix and Cloninda Rossotto. Gally
and Mouser obtained much of the land they sold from Santa Clara Valley Land Companyt. The pair are not known to
build houses but would manage agricultural property until it sold. Felix Rossotto was born in Italy in 1886, Cloninda in
California in 1898. Felix had a number of occupations including, tannery worker (1920), restaurant proprietor (1930) and
farmer before purchasing the subject property that was planted with an orchard as is shove in the 1939 USGS aerial
photograph of the area. This is where they raised their California born daughters, Elvira, Florence and Edna. His
purchase of the property may not have been arbitrary, Felbes brother Joseph had married Adele Stockmier, whose
family owned land in the area.
In 1960, Rossotto sold the property to Clifford J. Simms (1904-1988) and his wife Florence (1903-1966). The Simms
family for whom the property is remembered moved to Cupertino
the same year. (continued on page 8)

addition. The building is set on a bench above Stevens Creek, with the north side set into the north slope of the historic
river bank. This allows the tuck under garage on the south side of the facade. Brick steps lead to an off -set, recessed
entry. Fenestration is a mix of window types, two small windows are on the north side while a large tripartite picture
window is on the south and a tall, vertical window is further south over the garage. The sheathing like the rest of the
building is a combination of horizontal lapped boards on the bottom of the wall and cut shingles on the portions that is
the living areas. The south side of the building has a slanted bay window and the rest of the facade is straight with
window patterns sin filar to the front facade. The roofline gives clues to the extent of the various additions, at least three
that extended the building. The rear facade has a full width porch with a pitched roof that is supported by a half wall
and post on the south side and three square posts spaced across the facade. Although covered with plywood, there were
two picture size windows and a sliding patio style door on the back wall. The north side of the house has several shed
additions of various sizes (closet pop- out to room size, all with flat roofs and covered in cut shingles.
A raised entry area of packed earth at the front of the house (the base of the stairs) is lined with native rock. This is the
only landscape feature.
In summary, the building is a series of sections and alterations that obscure the original structure and the totality lacks
architectural distinction.

beyond. The company continued for a while after Clifford Sr. retired. It appears that major alterations were made to the
front, side and rear of the building while it was owned by Simms.
The Simms family included two children Marion Simms and Clifford J. Simms Jr, Clifford J. Simms Sr. passed away October 16,
1988. Two years later the property was sold by his children as trustees of his estate, to the City of Cupertino. Since
acquiring the property the City has leased the house for residential use. The house is currently vacant.
Cuuertino Historical Context 1935-1988
Beginning as a crossroads, the community grew and was first known as the West Side but to distinguish the area ,
the community adopted, the name Cupertino at the turn of the century. Outside the commercial crossroad, the
area was agricultural. Vineyards and wineries extended along the Montabello Ridge dropping down to the
valley floor where orchards proliferated, particularly after a phylloxera epidemic in the 1890s killed more than three
quarters of the vineyards. Fruit grown in the area included the French pixie, apricots, cherries and some apples.
Agriculture was the economic industry of the Valley creating the endearing phrase "Valley of Hearts Delight,"
to describe the Valley when the orchards were in bloom. This lasted until the late 1930's when it was
effected by the beginning of WWII in Europe when Hitler forbad the import of fruit products from the
United States. Into this era, Felix Rossotto purchased the subject property (1936), began the remodeling of a house
that appears to have been a workers cabin and tended the existing fruit orchard.'
To accommodate the growing population, Monte Vista, the first housing subdivision was approved by the County of
Santa Clara and more were planned. Together with other events, leaders in the community sought incorporation and
on October 10,1955, after a vote in September, the area was declared incorporated as the City of Cupertino.
During WWII fruit growers were subsidized to provide a supply for military use, but after the war and the loss of the
subsidy, there was a glut of fruit products reducing the price to the growers. Orchards that were no longer profitable
began to be redeveloped for industrial, commercial and residential use. A new industry emerging from the 1940s was
technology, and new employers in town that required a slaIled workforce, a need that was filled by veterans using the
GI Bill to continue their education at Bay Area colleges and universities.
In the frenzy to create new residential subdivisions (1955-2000) houses were constructed on the former orchard land
and on the bluff above the Stevens Creek, some very close to the Rossotto house at 22241 McClellan. Currently the
City is experiencing another redevelopment phase with both industry land and commercial land being redeveloped
for higher and more modern uses, examples are the Apple Campus, VALLCO Center. To provide the quality of life
desired by the citizens, the City is expanding recreational and educational opportunities and areas such as the
Rossotto property are being returned to a natural condition as part of the Stevens Creek Trail,
Regulatory Background:
The framework of regulatory mandates includes local, state and federal laws and policies. Considering the subject
project, removal of an existing building and returning the area to a natural environment, the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Cupertino (as lead agency) provide the regulatory frame for the project to determine
if the existing building is a "historic Resource' as defined by CEQA.

The City of Cupertino includes Historic Preservation Policies widen the City's General Plan.
Policy 2-62F: Recognizing Historical Resources An inventory of historically significant structures
should be maintained and periodically updated in order to promote awareness of these community
resources.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) defines a "historical resource" as a resource that meet one or more
of the following criteria: (1) listed in or determined eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical
Resources (CRHR); (2) listed in a local register of historical resources as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k); (3)
identified as a significant in a historical resource survey meeting the requirement of PRC Scion 5024.1(g); or (4)
determined to be a historical resource by a project's lead agency (PRC Section 21084.1 and CEQA Guidelines Section
15064.5(a). A historical resource consists of:
"Any object, building, structure site, area, place, record or manuscript which the lead agency determines to
be historically significant or significant to the architectural engineering, scientific, economic,
agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California provided the
determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource is
considered "historically significant" if it meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical
Resources (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5). Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency
to be "historically significant" if that resource meets the criteria for listing in the California Register of
Historic Resources" (CE2A Guidelines Section 15064.5 (a)(3).
The CRHR is a listing of State of California resources that are significant within the context of California's history,
and includes all resources listed in or formally determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, The
CRHR is a state-wide program of similar scope to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In addition,
properties designated under municipal or county ordinances are also eligible for listing in the CRHR. A historic
resource must be significant at the local, state, or national level under one or more of the four criteria defined in the
California Code of Regulations Title 14, Chapter 11.5, --
Section 4850:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) defines a change to a historic resource as a substantial adverse
change or less than substantial change.
s 21084.1. HISTORICAL RESOURCE; SUBSTANTIAL ADVERSE CHANGE A project that may cause a substantial adverse
change in the significance of an historical resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. Forpurhoses
of this section, an historical resource is a resource listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing in, the California Register of
Historical Resources. Historical resources included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in subdivision Qe) of
Section 5020.1, or deemed significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (g) of Section 5024.1, are presumed to be
historically or culturally significant for purposes of this section, unless thepreponderance of the evidence demonstrates that the
resource is not historically or culturally significant. The fact that a resource is not listed in, or determined to be eligible for listing
in, the California Register, of Historical Resources, not included in a local register of historical resources, or not deemed
signifreantpursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (g) of Section 5024.1 shall not preclude a lead agency from determining
whether the resource may be an historical resource forpurposes of this section.

Alterations or removal of buildings that are eligible for, or listed in the California Register of Historic Resources and
that may create a "substantial adverse change" would require mitigation measures to reduce the level to less than a
substantial adverse change.
Evaluation of Architectural and Historical significance of the building at 22241 McClellan Road, Cupertino, CA
The criteria for listing historical resources in the California Register of Historic Resources are consistent with those
developed by the National Park Service for listing resources in the National Register of Historic Places, but have been
modified for state use in order to include a range of historical resources which better reflect the history of California.
An historical resource must be significant at the local, state or national level under one or more of the following four
criteria;
1 It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or
regional history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States.
2 It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history;
3 It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or
represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values; or
4 It has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area,
California, or the nations.
In addition, the resource must retain integrity defined as enough of its historic character or appearance to be
recognizable as a historic property, and to convey the reason for its significance. The National Register program has
identified seven aspects of integrity; Location (where the resource was constructed), Design (the combination of,
elements that create the form, plan, space, structure and style of a property),Setting (the physical environment of a
historic property), Materials ( the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of
time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property), Workmanship (the physical evidence of
the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory), Feeling ( a property's
expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time) and Association (the direct link between
an important historic event or person and a historic property). To determine the Integrity of a historic resource the
California Register of Historic Resources requires some of the seven to be present.
The property at 22241 McClellan Road contains one building (house) and low rock retaining wall.
Criterion 1. It is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
local or regional history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States.
Throughout its history the building has been a house for people who lived on the property
and cared for an orchard (1920-1950) or operated business in the area. No events of significant were
found in the research.
Criterion 2 It is associated with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history;
Research described individuals who worked either tending an orchard or living in the house
while operating a business in Cupertino but were not found to have contributed in a
significant way to the history of Cupertino, California or the nation.

*Recordedby: Urban Programmers *Date 10/27/2015 x Continuation Update
Criterion 3 It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction,
or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values
The building on the property, a house is a combination of sections that were blended together to
create expanded living space for the families living on the property. It does not exhibit distinctive
characteristics of a particular type or period and is not the work of a master, not does it possess high
artistic values. The building is eclectic in style incorporating elements and materials from a number
of years that appear to be from 1920-1970.
Criterion 4 It has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local
area, California, or the nations.
The building on the property is unlikely to yield information important in history. The property is
adjacent to Stevens Creek, formerly Cupertino Creek and there is the potential for archeological
material to be found along the waterways. However, Basin Research Associates stated in their 2006
report on the Stevens Creek Master Plan and Restoration Plan, Technical Report, 2006 that "no
major prehistoric or protohistoric trails had been identified in or near the project" Also, the
native soil at the site of the house has been disturbed to the depth of the foundation and by both
agricultural planting, tilling and the current use for staging large construction equipment that
makes removing the building unlikely to yield information important in the history or prehistory.
Should archeological material be uncovered during the removal process, California law will be
followed.
Summaryfgs:
The building on the property at 22241 McClellan Road does not retain integrity and does not meet
any of the four criteria of the California Register of Historic Resources. The building is not a historic
resource as defined under CEQA.
