Subject: meant for inclusion in correspondence for March 7, 2017 City Council Meeting - RE: possible
Citizens Advisory Committee related to Development in Cupertino -
Mayor and City Council members,
I posed a question to Mayor Vaidhyanathan earlier today. She responded quickly and I very
much appreciated that fact.
There are several 'rumors' floating about and that is usually not productive or healthy. I
prefer facts.
Based on the Mayor's recollection of what was discussed and concluded during your CC goal
setting meeting, I am sending this email message to voice my concern/opinion.
I, as someone who would consider applying to participate in a Citizens Advisory
Committee, strongly believe that such a committee should be tasked with studying and
advising on development throughout the city. I question why such a group should be limited
to/focused on only one development site. If there were to be ANY rezoning considered for a
single property in the city, then the entire city must be looked at. Development PLANNING
should avoid a piecemeal approach.
Additionally, I can see NO reason to rush the process of forming a committee and having
members roll up their sleeves. This is particularly true if this would be a single project effort as
opposed to a citywide study.
During the last two and a half years, the city of Cupertino has seen numerous reasons to
support my beliefs on this subject.
It is likely that I will not be in attendance at tonight's CC meeting. Please consider this email
message as written communication related to something not on tonight's agenda (March 7,
2017).
Thank you.

Subject: Re: Please clarify- easy, quick question -time sensitive
I recall this being a 3-2 vote for a citizens committee for only Vallco over addressing the whole city.
Best Wishes,

Hello Savita.
Would you please clarify this for me ?
During Goal Setting mtg, the discussion about considering forming some sort of advisory committee in regard to
resident input on development in the city --- and in your State of the City address... I am struggling to understand
what such a committee would be tasked with.
Q: Is your goal to have an advisory committee to address all development in Cupertino, or only for the Vallco site ?
Thank you.
Lisa Warren
