2. Application No: 9-U-95 and 16-EA-95
Application: Cupertino City Center
Property Owner: Cupertino City Center
Locafiun: East side of Torre Avenue between Stevens Creek
Boulevard and Rodrignes
USE PERMIT: To con~i~,~ct 25 single family homes on 2.41 acres.
The density oftbe proposed project is inconsistent with the proposed Heart of the City Specific
Plan, which suggests a fifteen to thirty-five dwellings per acre density. The steff recommends
that thc density be reviewad and approved through the development review process. The
environmental issues arc parking and short term noise impacts. Thc City requires 4 parking
spaces per dwelling unit. The units facing Torre Avenue have only 2 spaces per unit. The loss
of parking spaces in front maybe compensated by 15 additional spaces located along Torre
Avenue, and on thc private roadway. Staff is suggesting that parking not be a significant impact
and should be addressed through the public hearing and land/use design review process. Thc
short term noise impacts will occur only during the construction phase. Staff feels this will not
be a significant impact as it would be mitigated through the eonstroction practices. Bob Cowan
motioned for a Negative Declaration. Carmen Lynaugh seeunded the motion.
Vote 4-0.

USE PERMIT: To demolish 2 existing buildings and constmet a 22,000 sq. R.
food market and a 4,000 sq. ft. restaurant.
The former U.S. Postal building and the Fontana Restaurant will be demolished, and a food
market will be built, as well as a new restaurant to be reconstructed on this site. The
environmental issues are traffic end potential noise from trash compactors and increased
deliveries to the food market. The applicant had consultants prepare a traffic analysis report,
which was reviewed by the City Traffic Engineer, who found that the project met the City and
Congestion Management Agency's traffic level of service standards. Staffis also proposing n
deceleration lane in front of the driveway to the shopping center to alleviate traffic congestion as
cars are entering the shopping center. The applicant also had consultants prepare a noise report.
The consultants advised installing a sound wall along the rear property line, a higher sound wall
along the loading docks,, and a.roof that covers the loading docks. This will meet the City's
ordinance for noise standards es well as meet the General Plan guidelines. Don Brown moved
-. for a Negative Declaration. Carmen Lynaugh seconded the motion.

time. The only environmental issue was parking. The applicant has 36 under-utilized parking
spaces located in the rear of the center Staff feels this is an adequate number of parking spaces
for the proposed use. Don Brown moved for aNegative Declaration. Bob Cowan seconded the

4. Application No.: 26-U-86 (Modification) and 13-EA-95
Applicant: Tosco Northwest Company
-- Property Owner Tosco Northwest Company
Location: 1855 Homestead Road
USE PERMIT: Modification to expand the existing retail space by approximately 100 sq. fL and
construct a 840 sq. fl. car wash.
The gas station retail space will be expanded below the eves and an unattended car wash will be
constructed on this site. The staff feels noise will not be an additional impact as the gas station is
located next to Highway 85 and is some distance from the junior high school. The only concern
the City has with the application is parking. With the addition of the car wash the applicant will
be losing 10 parking spaces. The applicant has a number of cars parked due to the car repair
facility on the lot. Because of the configuration of the lot, staffis unsure where additional
parking spaces can be located. Bob Cowan moved for a Negative Declaration with advice to the
Planning Commission to focus attention on the off-street parking arrangements. Don Brown
seconded the motion.
