We refer to our previous letter dated June 14, 2018, and to numerous email communications addressed to the City by Kitty Moore, Randy Shingai and other concerned citizens. We note that we have not received any response from the City to our previous letter despite the extremely urgent nature of the matter. 1. Request We now repeat and amplify our earlier request, on behalf of all citizens of Cupertino that the City take timely, full and appropriate action in accordance with applicable law and good administrative practice to DENY the purported "Vallco Town Center Project Application pursuant to SB 35" dated March 27, 2018 and submitted to the City with an undated cover letter at an undetermined date ("Application"). Attached hereto and incorporated by this reference please find the following supporting documents which we request be immediately posted on the City's website in the normal manner. (1) Application Compliance Topic Chart outlining compliance issues raised by the Application, arranged by topic. (2) Statute Compliance Chart outlining compliance issues raised by the Application, arranged by reference to subdivisions of the SB35 statute.

Code § 65913.4 (a)(1)(C). Instead, the Application seeks to manipulate the floor space ratio by counting parking and utility space toward the residential portion, but not counting comparable parking and utility space toward non-residential portions of the project. The principles underlying SB35 clearly call for a consistent, like -on -like comparison rather than arbitrary juggling of figures. As shown in the attachments, neither a net calculation comparing usable space only, nor a gross calculation including parking and utility space in the residential and non-residential totals would allow the Application to meet the statutory ratio requirement. (2) The Application fails to comply with General Plan requirements which permit residential use only as part of a vibrant mixed-use environment requiring commercial use of first -floor project portions. Most of the project fails to provide this. (3) The project is located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 ("Cortese List"). SB35 excludes such projects. Gov. Code 65913.4(a)(6)(E). Approval of a hazardous materials site is a discretionary decision by a local government that is NOT preempted by SB35. (4) The Application relies on easements to be vacated by the City. To do so would constitute a discretionary act involving subjective policy determinations by the City and City Council. Accordingly, the easements are not preempted by SB35. (5) The Application purports to appropriate the entire available "pool" of affordable units (ca. 400 units at present) and commit units in excess of this number. 5. SB35 Statutory Scheme Sets Extremely Rigid Deadlines As you will be aware, the statutory scheme is extremely rigid. The strict deadlines and notice requirements require careful attention by the City lest the City inadvertently lose control of the process. Specifically, SB35 (now codified as Gov.

This document discusses in greater detail a number of 19925 STEVENS CREEK BOULEVARD #100 E-MAIL: bemsteves@califoniiabizlaw.com CUPERTINO CA 95014 TEL: 408 P53 691 1 issues raised by the Application, supported by references to the record and to legal authority. Please=note that while there is some overlap among the aforesaid three (3) documents, this letter and other communications referred above, each also contains important content and information that is unique. Full and appropriate review and action by the City's entire Planning team will be required to capture and fully process the entirety of the material in the short time available. The City should, of course, err on the side of including material and grounds for denial so as to avoid the undesirable legal effects (and embarrassment) of forfeiting grounds of denial at the end of the statutory period. 3. City Accepted Parts of Application on or After March 29, 2018, and Misrepresented Filing Date Disturbingly, FBC's review of electronic records (Adobe Acrobat .pdf files) submitted as part of the Application has revealed that some key documents were not created until after close of business on Wednesday March 28, 2018. It follows that these documents could not have been submitted to the City until the following business day, Thursday, March 29, 2018. We also note that the cover letter accompanying the application and signed by Reed Moulds of Sand Hill Property Company is - somewhat unusually - undated. Surprisingly in the circumstances, the City's website' states categorically that "Sand Hill Property Company filed an application with the City of Cupertino on March 27, 2018." Presumably, this statement and the accompanying electronic files were posted at the behest of the Planning Department with the personal authorization of the Chief Planner. The City's late acceptance of significant parts of a project application violates established procedure and amounts to misrepresenting the filing date to the City Council and to the citizens. Late submission of key parts of the application also makes a mockery of the statutory scheme of SB35 which presumes that a complete application accompanied by all electronic files must be on file to trigger the 90 -day response period. We trust that the City of Cupertino, located in Santa Clara County; will not deny that electronic files are a fundamental prerequisite to the public review process in 2018. Notwithstanding these irregularities, it should be noted that the City cannot now assert a different (later) filing date for the Application. The Applicant is liable to claim that it has continued to rely on the City's officially stated filing acceptance date of March 27, 2018. The Application is inconsistent with SB35 and other requirements in a number of respects documented herein and in email correspondence to the City. http://wwNv.cupertino.org/ourcity/departments/communitydevelopment/Planninglmajorprojectslvallcosb35application N Points of statutory non-compliance include, without hinitation, the following: (1) The Application does not meet the minimum 2/3 residential/non-residential floor space ratio required under Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a)(1)(C). Instead, the Application seeks to manipulate the floor space ratio by counting parking and utility space toward the residential portion, but not counting comparable parking and utility space toward non-residential portions of the project. The principles underlying SB35 clearly call for a consistent, like -on -like comparison rather than arbitrary juggling of figures. As shown in the attachments, neither a net calculation comparing usable space only, nor a gross calculation including parking and utility space in the residential and non-residential totals would allow the Application to meet the statutory ratio requirement. (2) The Application fails to comply with General Plan requirements which permit residential use only as part of a vibrant mixed-use environment requiring commercial use of first -floor project portions. Most of the project falls to provide this. (3) The project is located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 ("Cortese List"). SB35 excludes such projects. Gov. Code 65913.4(a)(6)(E). Approval of a hazardous materials site is a discretionary decision by a local government that is NOT preempted by SB35. (4) The Application relies on easements to be vacated by the City. To do so would constitute a discretionary act involving subjective policy determinations by the City and City Council. Accordingly, the easements are not preempted by SB35. (5) The Application purports to appropriate the entire available "pool" of affordable units (ca. 400 units at present) and commit units in excess of this number. 5. SB35 Statutory Scheme Sets Extremely Rigid Deadlines As you will be aware, the statutory scheme is extremely rigid. The strict deadlines and notice requirements require careful attention by the City lest the City inadvertently lose control of the process. Specifically, SB35 (now codified as Gov. Code § 65913.4) provides that a non- compliant development project is nonetheless "deemed" compliant with the "objective development standards" set out in that section unless the city issues a reasoned rejection within the statutory time period of 90 days. Gov. Code § 65913.4(b)(1) and (2). must To avoid the result of "deemed" compliance of a non-compliant project, the city ...provide the development proponent written documentation of which standard or standards the development conflicts with, and an explanation for the reason or reasons the development conflicts with that standard or standards. Gov. Code § 65913.4(b)(1). Given the March 27, 2018 application date, it appears that the 90 -day response period ends on Monday, June 25, 2018. 6. Action Requested As previously noted in our letter of June 14, 2018, FBC requests that the City take IMMEDIATE action to ensure that a notice denying the Application is prepared and sent to the Applicant forthwith. The notice should include ALL pertinent reasons for the denial under the SB35 statute, with related "documentation" to ensure those reasons are not forfeited under the statute. The material contained in the attachments hereto, in this letter and in related email communications should be of assistance to the City in preparing a timely and comprehensive denial letter without allowing any arguable grounds for denial to be forfeited as the 90 -day review period ends. To repeat, failure to provide the Applicant with a reasoned denial of the application and related "written documentation" for all grounds of denial would result in this non-compliant development being "deemed" compliant, thus nullifying the City's own development planning processes. Please note that as a matter of law, an informal extension of the time to respond - even if agreed to by the Applicant - would likely NOT be legally binding. The SB35 statute clearly prioritizes expeditious processing of applications and does not in terms permit extensions. Similarly, the Applicant could claim that the City's request for an extension amounted to duress which negates the Applicant's formal consent. To safeguard the City's interests on an interim basis and to avoid the potential for last-minute hitches under the rigid timeline under the statutory SB35 scheme, we request that an initial version of the statutory notice with documentation be completed and sent to the Applicant no later than M With this initial safeguard in place, the City can and should then proceed to supplement its initial notice of denial on or before the statutory deadline of Monday, June 25, 2017 or (preferably) earlier. 11 We would be grateful if you could copy the undersigned on any notice of denial sent to the Applicant.

The City's website states that the application was submitted on March 27, 2018, but some parts of the application were accepted by the City on or after March 29, 2018. This document demonstrates numerous non-compliance issues affecting the application, including failure to meet "objective" preconditions. As Friends of Better Cupertino advised the City in a letter dated June 14, 2018, failure by the City to issue a timely notice detailing and documenting those items of non-compliance within 90 days would result in those objections being forfeited, thus effectively locking the City out of significant parts of the process. To date, the city has failed to respond to any communications advising of these non-compliance issues, and has not given any public indication as to whether the plan is compliant. The inaction of pertinent departments and individuals is extremely puzzling. The VTC SB 35 site consists of 50.82 acres of land in total on the east and west side of Wolfe Rd. adjacent to and south of the 1-280 freeway. The site is currently a 1.2 Million square foot mall with Bay Club Gym, BowlMor lanes, Ice Rink, Starbucks Coffee, and Dynasty Restaurant still in operation. The site is used as a transit hub for park and ride use for various technology companies. Additionally the site is used for new car storage. The western portion of the project site, west of North Wolfe Road, is developed with several buildings: a three-story (approximately 85 foot tall) mall building, two single -story (approximately 25 feet tall) satellite buildings, three multi -story (two- and four -level, up to 50 feet tall) parking structures, and surface parking lots. The eastern portion of the project site, east of North Wolfe Road, is developed with an additional two-story (approximately 60 foot tall) mall building, a single -story satellite restaurant building, a three-level (approximately 60 foot tall) parking structure, and surface parking lots. The two sides of the project site are connected by an enclosed, pedestrian bridge which includes shops on either side of a pedestrian walkway. A five -story (60 foot tall), 148 -room hotel is currently under construction at the north end of the eastern portion of the site (Hyatt House Hotel). Perimeter Road, a two-lane roadway, is located along the west, north, and east boundary of the site. Two landlocked lots (Hyatt House Hotel and the Simeon property) have public access to Wolfe Road via public access casements from Perimeter Road. As shown in General Plan Table LU -1, the General Plan development allocation for the Vallco Special Area is as follows: up to a maximum of 1,207,774 square feet of commercial uses (i.e., retention of the existing mall) or redevelopment of the site with a minimum of 600,000 square feet of retail uses of which a maximum of 30 percent may be entertainment uses (pursuant to General Plan Strategy LU - 19.1,4); up to 2.0 million square feet of office uses; up to 339 hotel rooms; and up to 389 residential dwelling units.5 Pursuant to General Plan Strategy LU -1.2.1, development allocations may be transferred among Planning Areas, provided no significant environmental impacts are identified beyond those already studied in the Cupertino General Plan Community Vision 2015-2040 Final EIR (SCH#2014032007) (General Plan EIR),6 Therefore, additional available, residential or other, development allocations may be transferred to the project site. .L p 7 PDF 43) 0 The VTC SB 35 project submitted consists of. 0 1.81 Million SF office • 3.4 Million SF office and retail subterranean parking 0 400,000 SF retail • 2,402 residential units * 2.2 Million SF actual apartments * 2.5 Million SF residential amenities which include internal, above ground parking garages ringed with apartments Total size of project: approximately 10.3 Million square feet.

APPLICANT PLANS' METADATA INDICATES LATE SUBMITTAL OF PLANS SB 35 requires the City to inforni. the Applicant whether their application is consistent with local objective standards within certain time limits, for VTC SB 35, the time limit is 90 days. The 'clock' starts when the plans are submitted. VTC is not compliant with SB 35 because several files were created and submitted after the initial application 'clock' started. Ca. Gov. Code § 65913.4 (b)(1)(B). The PDF file format contains timestamps for content creation and for the content's last modification. These timestamps do not change when the file is copied or transmitted. The timestamps are kept separate from the file's data content, and are what is known as "metadata-" These timestamps can be displayed using Adobe's Acrobat Reader. The last modified tiniestamp in many of the Project files show that these files could not have been submitted before the close of business on March 27, 2018, the date that the Application package was putatively submitted. In particular, the City could not have received the file, ArchitecturalPlansPart3.pdf, before March 30, 2018, because it was last modified after the close of business on the previous day, March 29, 2018. The metadata of the PDF files submitted include several after the application was 'officially' submitted. This indicates a new submittal date of 3/29/2018, not 3/27/2018. It is alarming that the city accepted late filing of plans in such a high profile SB 35 project. At the very least, the application submission date must be changed to reflect the last document added to the plans after the submittal date, a Table 2: Late Filing Metadata VaBco Town Center SB 35 Project Application File Name and Metadata Component files modified after SPM, March 27, 2018 Filename Date Created Time Created Date Last Time Last Modified Modified 3/28/2018 3.52:35 PM 3/28/2018 3:52:35 PM Renerings.pdf VaI1coSB35Pr0JectDescriptipdf (1) 3/27/2018 9:15.59 PM 3/27/2018 9:15.59 PM VallcoS13351'rojectl3escriptipff (2) 3/27/2018 9:16-00 PM 3/27/2018 9:16.01 PM VallcoS13351'rojectl3escriptipff (3) 3/27/2018 9:16:06 PM 3/27/2018 9:16:07 PM VallcoSB35PrqjectDescriptipdf (4) 3/27/2018 9:16:09 PM 3/27/2018 9:16:09 PM SitePlans.pdf 3/28/2018 3:53:19 PM 3/28/2018 3.53:19PM SiteDiagrams.pdf 3/28/2018 3:55:06 PM 3/28/2018 3.55:06 PM ArchitecturalPlansPartl.pdf 3/28/2018 5:54-38 PM 3/28/2018 5.45:38 PM ArcbitecturalPlansPart2.pdf 3/28/2018 5-46:36 PM 3/28/2018 5.46-36 PM ArchitecturalPlansPart3.pdf 3/28/2018 5:37:26 PM 3/29/2018 10:26:26 PM ArchitecturalPlansPart4.pdf 3/28/2018 535:19 PM 3/28/2018 5:35:19 PM CiviWlansPartl.pdf 3/28/2018 5.43:52 PM 3/28/2018 5-43:52 PM CivilPIansPart2.pdf 3/28/2018 5.4434 PM 3/28/2018 5.4434 PM Landscape'�andsingpl.pdf 3/28/20181 3:55:52 PM J 3/28/20181 3:55:52 PM Source: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Version 2018.011.20020 11. SB 35 SITE ON HAZARDOUS MATERIALS LIST: NOT COMPLIANT The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35, in that the site is listed as a hazardous waste site and thus does not comply with Gov. Code § 69513.4(a)(6)(E). Gov. Code § 69513.4(a)(6)(E): (a) A development proponent may submit an application for a development that is subject to the streamlined, ministerial approval process provided by subdivision (b) and not subject to a conditional use permit if the development satisfies all of the following objective planning standards: (6) The development is not located on a site that is any of the, following. (E) A hazardous waste site that is listed pursuant to Section 65962.5 or a hazardous waste site designated by the Department of Toxic Substances Control pursuant to Section 25356 of the Health and Safety Code, unless the Department of Toxic Substances Control has cleared the site for residential use or residential mixed uses. ME VALLCO SPECIAL AREA DEIR INDICATES PROJECT ON LIST OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SITES PURSUANT TO GOV. CODE § 65962.5 "Impact HAZ-2: The project (and project alternatives) is located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5;" See Draft Environmental Impact Report,for Vallco Specific Plan Special Area, SCH# 2018022021, p. 143, PDF 179, or 1_ _�t.�oNA-(Io.c-uiiient'i..d--20..88-7. Ministerial approval of a site on the Cortese list is beyond the scope of SB 35 and would be a subjective decision on an environmental matter regarding hazardous materials. 111. SB 35 ZONING REQUIREMENT: NOT COMPLIANT The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 3 5, in that the site is not zoned for housing according to Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a)(1)(C). Per SB 35, Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a)(1)(c): (C) A site that is zoned for residential use or residential mixed-use development, or has a general plan designation that allows residential use or a mix of residential and nonresidential uses, with at least two- thirds of the square footage of the development designated for residential use. (S -B 1.5 -Lm-&) And SB 35, Gov. Code § 65913.4(a)(5)(B): (5) The development, excluding any additional density or any other concessions, incentives, or waivers of development standards granted pursuant to the Density Bonus Law in Section 65915, is consistent with objective zoning standards and objective design review standards in effect at the time that the development is submitted to the local government pursuant to this section. For purposes of this paragraph, "objective zoning standards" and "objective design review standards" mean standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. These standards may be embodied in alternative objective land use specifications adopted by a city or county, and may include, but are not limited to, housing overlay zones, specific plans, inclusionary zoning ordinances, and density bonus ordinances, subject to the following: (A) A development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards related to housing density, as applicable, if the density proposed is compliant with the maximum density allowed within that land use designation, notwithstanding any specified maximum unit allocation that may result in fewer units of housing being permitted. (B) In the event that objective zoning, general plan, or design review standards are mutually inconsistent, a development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards pursuant to this subdivision if the development is consistent with the standards set forth in the general plan. (SB 35 J-aw) The Cupertino General Plan Community Vision 2015-2040. October 20, 2015 (GP) states quite clearly that the site is zoned Planned Development with Regional Shopping and Commercial (P[Regional Shopping and P[CG]) housing only becomes allowable when a Specific Plan is adopted, additionally, no Specific Plan has been adopted as of May 31, 2018 which means there would be hearings considering the removal of Vallco as a Priority site: 11 "...zoned Planned Development with Regional Shopping and Commercial (P[Regional Shopping and P[CG]). Strategy I provides that the City will adopt a Specific Plan for the Vallco site by May 31, 2018 that would permit 389 units by right at a minimum density of 20 units per acre. The zoning for the site would be modified as part of the Specific Plan process to allow residential uses as part of a mixed-use development at a maximum density of 35 units per acre. If the Specific Plan is not adopted, the City will schedule hearings consistent with Government Code Section 65863 to consider removing Vallco Shopping District as a Prioirty Housing Site and replacing it with the sites shown in Scenario B." The applicant states that no Specific Plan is needed, therefore, no housing is allowable. This is consistent with the General Plan, The SB 35 law, Gov. Code § 65913.4(a)(5)(A) states: (a) A development proponent may submit an application for a development that is subject to the streamlined, ministerial approval process provided by subdivision (b) and not subject to a conditional use permit if the development satisfies all of the following objective planning standards: (1) The development is a multifamily housing development that contains two or more residential units. (A) A development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards related to housing density, as applicable, if the density proposed is compliant with the maximum density allowed within that land use designation, notwithstanding any specified maximum unit allocation that may result in fewer units of housing being permitted. (S1335 ,,, 65913.4(a)(5)(A)) _tq� Vallco site has no current housing density, because it is not zoned for housing. SB 35 APPLICATION MUST FOLLOW GENERAL PLAN — NO SPECIFIC PLAN CAN BE REQUIRED Vallco Town Center S13 35 Development Application pp. 4-5 PDF 4-5: The Project site is currently Zoned P(Regional Shopping) and P(CG). Planned Development zoning districts are tailored to a specific program or project, which in this case is the existing mall. Because the zoning contemplates the existing mall, and the General Plan calls for a complete redevelopment of the larger site with a mix of uses, the zoning is inconsistent with the General Plan. In accordance with SB 35, because the General Plan and zoning standards are inconsistent, only the General Plan standards apply. See Section 3: Consistency with Objective City Standards and Appendix B: Objective Standards Consistency Analysis. SB 35 cannot require the adoption of a Specific Plan. A Specific Plan is unquestionably a subjective discretionary legislative action under California law,1 and thus adoption of a future undefined Specific Plan cannot meet the definition of an "objective planning standard" under SB 35, The 389 residential unit allocations set forth in General Plan Table LU -1 are inapplicable to the Project because SB 35 states that density is determined by the "maximum density allowed within that General Plan land use designation, notwithstanding any specified maximum unit allocation that may result in fewer units of housing being permitted." M Footnote "1" referred to in the above excerpt from Valleo Town Center SB 35 Development Application p. 5 PDF 5: i See Yost v. Thomas, 36 Cal. 3d 561, 570 (1984) (the adoption of a Specific Plan, like a general plan, is a legislative action); see also California Government Code Section 65453. The General Plan clearly states that the Vallco site is not zoned for residential, and that residential only becomes allowable with the adoption of a Specific Plan. Without the Specific Plan, which the application insists they cannot be required for SB 35, the site is not allowed housing.

Strategy 1, GP -2014: The Cupertino General Plan 2040: Cupertino Community Vision 2040 (Dec. 4, 2014), Chapter 4: Housing Element, p. HE 21-22, PDF 21-22: Strategy 1: Land Use Policy and Zoning Provisions. To accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), the City will continue to: • Provide adequate capacity through the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance to accommodate the RHNA of 1,064 units while maintaining a balanced land use plan that offers opportunities for employment growth, commercial/retail activities, services, and amenities. • Monitor development standards to ensure they are adequate and appropriate to facilitate a range of housing in the community • Monitor the sites inventory and make it available on the City website. • Monitor development activity on the Housing Opportunity Sites to ensure that the City maintains sufficient land to accommodate the RHNA during the planning period. In the event a housing site listed in the Housing Element sites inventory is redeveloped with a non-residential use or at a lower density than shown in the Housing Element sites inventory, ensure that the City has adequate capacity to meet the RHNA by making the findings required by Government Code Section 65863 and identifying alternative site(s) within the City if needed. IN • Priority Housing Sites: As part of the Housing Element update, the City has identified five priority sites under Scenario A (see Table HE -5) for residential development over the next eight years. The General Plan and zoning designations allow the densities shown in Table HE - 5 for all sites except the Vallco Shopping District site (Site A2). The redevelopment of Vallco Shopping District will involve significant planning and community input. A specific plan will be required to implement a comprehensive strategy for a retail/office/residential mixed use development. The project applicant would be required to work closely with the community and the City to bring forth a specific plan that meets the community's needs, with the anticipated adoption and rezoning to occur within three years of the adoption of the 2014-2022 Housing Element (by May 31, 2018). The specific plan would permit 389 units by right at a minimum density of 20 units per acre. If the specific plan and rezoning are not adopted within three years of Housing Element adoption (by May 31, 2018), the City will schedule hearings consistent with Government Code Section 65863 to consider removing Vallco as a priority housing site under Scenario A, to be replaced by sites identified in Scenario B (see detailed discussion and sites listing of "Scenario B" in Appendix B - Housing Element Technical Appendix). As part of the adoption of Scenario B, the City intends to add two additional sites to the inventory: Glenbrook Apartments and Homestead Lanes, along with increased number of permitted units on The Hamptons and The Oaks sites. Applicable zoning is in place for Glenbrook Apartments; however the Homestead Lanes site would need to be rezoned at that time to permit residential uses. Any rezoning required will allow residential uses by right at a minimum density of 20 units per acre. ■ Site A2 (Vallco Shopping District) Site A3 (The Oaks Shopping Center) Site A4 (Marina Plaza) P(Res) Vallco Park RS/O/R Vallco P(Regional Shopping) Shopping & P(CG) District C/R Heart of P(CG, Res) the City C/O/R Heart of P(CG, Res) the City M BE 35 locations ; ovv net height to be determined in Vallco Shopping 389 District Specific Plan 45 ft 200 45 ft 200 Site AS (Barry Swenson) C/O/R Heart or P(CG, Res) the City 25 45 ft 11 Total 1,400 N.t,s Z—mq fo, SaA2 d�t—&-,dby bp—£r N— teSete Al fH-1Pt-1) hght 1 -if t160 f -tis &Appl,.C—p-2site. 14 The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35, in that the 2/3 residential square footage is not met by objective calculations. Gross and Net square footage calculations are 46% and 54% respectively, and do comply with SB 35, Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a)(1)(C). The Applicant seeks to circumvent the clear intent of SB35 by resorting to inconsistent criteria for the calculation of residential and non-residential floor -space, respectively. SB35 itself clearly requires a like -on -like calculation of floor space to derive the statutory floor space ratio. Instead, Applicants artificially inflate the residential floor space by including most parking and utility space in the residential total, but excluding parking and utility space entirely from the calculation of non-residential totals. This makes a mockery of the SB35 requirements. Whether calculated on a gross basis (i.e., consistently including the parking and utility floor space), or on a net basis (i.e. consistently excluding parking and utility floor space), the Applicants fail to meet the statutory 2/3 floor space ratio. As detailed below, the Applicant's methodology is also also inconsistent with the California Building Code, and with pertinent provisions of the Cupertino Municipal Code. According to the Applicant, because the residential portion of the proposal was claimed to be 4,700,000 sq. ft. (when the actual apartments themselves only total 2.2 Million SF) and the residential portion would comprise 68% of the total square footage of the development, the development qualifies for SB 35, Gov. Code § 65913.4 approval streamlining. The Applicant claims the project contains 4,700,000 sq. ft. of residential, 400,000 sq. ft. of retail, and 1,8 10,000 sq. ft. of office space. The Applicant includes unequally distributed shared amenities such as the two story walkway over Wolfe Rd. only for the residential total (despite this structure connecting a residential building to an office building), large unexplained windowless areas on the top floor of each interior area of the residential units, and all of the above ground interior parking garages in their residential square footage totals as amenities. Office and Retail parking, which is all subterranean, totals 3.4 Million SF and is not included in the totals for non-residential. The totals for non-residential also exclude underground utility and infrastructure spaces. The Applicant's claim is incorrect, because the residential calculation is based upon a inconsistent and statutorily improper application of the Floor Area Ratio calculation method and definition of "floor area" found in CMC § 19.08.030 and contain an error when used in the context of SB 35: office is no longer a conditional use.

Parking facilities, other than residential garages, accessory to a permitted conditional use and located on the same site; 5. Roofed arcades, plazas, walkways, porches, breezeways, porticos, courts and similar features not substantially enclosed by exterior walls. The subterranean parking facilities are not conditional uses under SB 35. The retail portion is already zoned properly and would not be conditional, and the office portion is allowable under SB 35, if the zoning is allowed to be modified through SB 35 streamlining. Therefore, the subterranean garages must be factored in. The definition of "floor area" includes residential garages and excludes nonresidential garages if they are "accessory to a permitted conditional use and located on the same site ". The Applicant misused this definition of "floor area" as justification for including all the project's residential garages as a "residential use", and as justification for excluding all other parking garages from its square footage total. SB 35 allows the office and retail uses (if the zoning is indeed changed through SB 35 streamlining), making the office no longer a conditional use. The use of Cupertino Municipal Code 19.08.030's "floor area" definition was invoked independent of its context. The "Golden Rule" says that words should be followed unless it would lead to an inconsistency. The "floor area" definition should therefore not be used, because of the inconsistency it introduces, and in the context of an SB 35 plan, the office and retail parking facilities would actually be added in. A second reference for definitions of building areas is from CMC § 16.04.010 Code Adoption of the 2016 California Building Code, Volumes I and 2 inclusive, and Appendices. From Title 24 2016 California Building Code, Part 2, Volume 1- Includes January 2017: 201.4 Terms not defined "ere terms are not defined through the methods authorized by this section, such terms shall have ordinarily accepted meanings such as the context implies. AREA, BUILDING. The area included within surrounding exterior walls (or exterior walls and fire walls) exclusive of vent shafts and courts. Areas of the building not provided with surrounding walls shall be included in the building area if such areas are included within the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above. FLOOR AREA, GROSS. The floor area within the inside perimeter of the exterior walls of the building under consideration, exclusive of vent shafts and courts, without deduction for corridors, stairways, ramps, closets, the thickness of interior walls, columns or other features. The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not provided with surrounding exterior walls shall be the usable area under the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above. The gross floor area shall not include shafts with no openings or interior courts. FLOOR AREA, NET. The actual occupied area not including unoccupied accessory areas such as corridors, stairways, ramps, toilet rooms, mechanical rooms and closets. Part 2 - California Building Code n Part 2, Volume I (HTML (hmp:. codesiccsa fe.Qrg/ 'I)ook-,,too .i'201('aliforniaBuildinp-%2OVolutne%201�iiidex,litilii_ )) Using the State of California Building Code definitions makes it clear that the parking garages for retail and office would be included along with the utility areas for retail and office. 17 The Applicant also chose to ignore a competing definition, "gross building area" in CMC § 03.32.020 (D) that would have excluded all the parking garages in the project. D. "Gross building area," as used in this chapter, means the area of the several floors of a building included within the surrounding exterior walls of a building or portion thereof exclusive of noncommercial pat -king garages. Parking garages that obtain their primary source of income from the parking of vehicles for a fee shall be considered commercial parking garages. Other types of garages shall be considered noncommercial. The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not provided with surrounding exterior walls shall be the usable area under the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above. CMC § 03.32.020 (D) "gross building area" definition would have excluded all parking garages in the proposed project, and therefore would have avoided the inconsistency found in Municipal Code 19.08.030's "floor area" definition. The Applicant should have used this definition. It is only with the inconsistent treatment of parking garages that the project meets the two- thirds residential use threshold required by SB 35. When all parking garages are consistently included or consistently excluded, the project does not meet the two-thirds threshold required by SB 35.

Including the residential amenity space, when following the Cupertino Municipal Code definitions, results in an unfair and inconsistent allocation of parking area and massive amenities shown under the roof structure and a two -floor huge residential walk -way over Wolfe Rd. and encourages the developer to 'fabricate' amenities to further increase the size. This could be done for a variety of reasons which are not related to obtaining a reasonable rate of return for the project, but to protect certain unwelcome portions of a project (office space) and maintain the 2/3 residential ratio. The office space totals did not have parking spaces added, for example.

Retail: High -performing retail, restaurant and entertainment uses. Maintain ... 2. Hotel: Encourage a business class hotel ... 3. Residential: Allow residential on upper floors with retail and active uses on the ground floor. Encourage a mix of units for young professionals, couples and/or active seniors who like to live in an active "town center" environment. 4. Office: Encourage high-quality office space ...

The residential areas are on both the east and west property and there are two buildings on the west property with no ground floor retail (blocks 09 and 10). Blocks 03, 05, 04N and 04S have only some ground floor retail. W Figure 4: VTC SB 35 Architectural Site Plans, Building Plan Street Level P-0800.01 VI. COMPLIANCE TEST EXCLUDING CONCESSIONS: NOT COMPLIANT The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35, in that when the concession provided by the Density Bonus Law are excluded, the project does not comply with objective standards and thus does not comply with Gov, Code § 65913.4(a)(5): (5) The development, excluding any additional density or any other concessions, incentives, or waivers of development standards granted pursuant to the Density Bonus Law in Section 65915, is consistent with objective zoning standards and objective design review standards in effect at the time that the development is submitted to the local government pursuant to this section. For purposes of this paragraph, "objective zoning standards" and "objective design review standards" mean standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. These standards may be embodied in alternative objective land use specifications adopted by a city or county, and may include, but are not limited to, housing overlay zones, specific plans, inclusionary zoning ordinances, and density bonus ordinances, subject to the following: 24 (A) A development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards related to housing density, as applicable if the density^proosed is compliant with the maximum density allowed within that land use designation, notwithstanding any specified maximum unit allocation that may result in fewer units of housing being permitted. (B) In the event that objective zoning, general plan, or design review standards are mutually inconsistent, a development shall be deemed consistent with the objective zoning standards pursuant to this subdivision if the development is consistent with the standards set forth in the general plan. (t S 3 5 -L Law, The development, excluding additional density, concessions, and incentives is not consistent with objective zoning standards: 1. Plan is inconsistent with objective zoning standards: site is not zoned residential. Additionally, the General Plan does have a conditional use permit process which would allow the movement of residential units between priority housing sites, however, there is not enough housing in the city-wide pool for housing over 800 residential units. The General Plan EIR studied 800 residential units at Vallco and approximately 400 remain in the city-wide pool. 2. Plan is not consistent with 1:1 setback. 3. Plan exceeds height limits in place without the Specific Plan which are 85' and 30' 4. BMR units are not dispersed throughout the project as required, before (and after) adding the Density bonus units. 5. Easements may not be ministerially vacated for project, this requires a plan redesign. 6. BMR units are not same size and number of bedrooms as Market Rate Units, as required. 7. BMR units have different finishes, as required, normally a City Council decision. 8. Retail may not be reduced below General Plan minimum 600,000 SF, as required. 9. Park Land requirement not met. 10. Protected Tree and Street Tree removal requires permits and posting, a subjective concession. 11. (Alternative plan submitted requires a second submission package to fill in missing information.) DENSITY BONUS IS NOT ALLOWABLE — EXCEEDS CITY-WIDE EIR STUDIED TOTALS Vallco Specific Plan DEIR Indicates Inability to Arrive at Number of Residential Units through General Plan. On May 24, 2018, the City of Cupertino circulated the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for Vallco Specific Plan. The DEIR, p. 15 PDF p 51, states in 2.4.2: "The General Plan, however, controls residential development through an allocation system. This alternative [General Plan Buildout with Maximum Residential Alternative] assumes that there are no residential allocation controls in place and development can occur at the maximum density allowed by the General Plan". (N,'a11co_DE,,1R, p. 15, PDF p 5 1) The number of units in the SB 35 application cannot be met, because there are only about 400 residential units in the residential allocation 'pool' remaining, according to City Assistant Manager Aarti Shrivastava, June 4, 2018 during the Vallco Specific Plan City Council Study Session, and that a General Plan Amendment would be needed to have such number of units. N SB 35, while negating the allocations the city imposed on Vallco (389 residential units per General Plan Table LU -1), does not consider that the allowable density would result in more housing than was studied and accepted by the City Council across the entire city in the General Plan EIR. Fora large city, it would likely be difficult to ,swallow up' the entire housing supply offered by one SB 35 project, but Cupertino is a small city with only 1,882 residential units available city-wide, residential units cannot materialize with no environmental review, along with the review of all sites city-wide which may be eligible for SB 35. The result in SB 35 removing local control results in an immeasurable amount of "by right" development, and brings chaos to the General Plan and jobs : housing balance with no horizon. VII. NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS INCONSISTENT WITH TABLE LU -1 - EXCESSIVE Table LU -1 shows a citywide available number of units of 1,882. The total number of units was studied in the General Plan EIR, going beyond that amount studied would be unacceptable.

The General Plan is necessary to prescribe reasonable controls and standards for affected land uses to insure compatibility and integrity of those uses with other uses; 2. The General Plan provides reasonable property development rights while protecting environmentally sensitive land uses and species; 3. The General Plan identifies standards and policies for use throughout the City; 4.

NN VIII. DENSITY BONUS CONCESSIONS: NOT COMPLIANT (EXCEEDS MAXIMUM) The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35, in that the number of concessions requested under the Density Bonus Law, which are an allowable three, are exceeded and thus does not comply with Gov. Code § 65915(d)(1) and CMC § 19.56, and Gov, Code § 65913.4(a)(5)(A). The following is from the Vallco Town Center SB 35 Development Application, Appendix A: SB 35 Eligibility Checklist, Item 8, p. 3, PDF 22: The Project as proposed is consistent with all applicable objective standards, excluding the two concessions allowed under the State Density Bonus Law, Gov. Code § 65915(d)(1) and CMC § 19.56. The Project qualifies for 3 concessions based on the inclusion of 15% of the total units for very income households. As described in the Project Description, one concession will be used to allow 400,000 square feet of retail in the Project, as opposed to the 600,000 square feet of retail stated in the General Plan and a second concession will be used to waive the requirements of CMC § 19.56.050(G). Summary of Concession for Density Bonus Units: I Plan is inconsistent with objective zoning standards: site is not zoned residential, Additionally, the General Plan does have a conditional use permit process which would allow the movement of residential units between priority housing sites, however, there is not enough housing in the city- wide pool for housing over 800 residential units. The General Plan EIR studied 800 residential units at Vallco and approximately 400 remain in the city-wide pool. 2. Plan is not consistent with 1:1 setback. 3. Plan exceeds height limits in place without the Specific Plan which are 85' and 30' 4. BMR units are not dispersed throughout the project as required, before (and after) adding the Density bonus units. 5. Easements may not be ministerially vacated for project, this requires a plan redesign. 6. BMR units are not same size and number of bedrooms as Market Rate Units, as required. 7. BMR units have different finishes, as required, normally a City Council decision, 8. Retail may not be reduced below General Plan minimum 600,000 SF, as required. Retail reduction letter is insufficient to justify necessity to reduce retail. 9. Park Land requirement not met. 10. Protected Tree removal requires permits and posting. Development Trees were not delineated in plans as "Protected Trees" and possibly hundreds qualify. Plans show removal of city owned street trees, 11. Review of Financial Statements for Concessions: no financial statements provided 11 (Alternative plan submitted requires a second submission package to fill in missing information.) 13. Heights are limited by zoning and previous General Plan 14. Density Bonus Units Not Allowed — Health Impacts shown in DEIR State Density Bonus Law, Gov. Code § 65915(d)(1) and CMC § 19.56 allow the maximum three concessions if certain criteria are met with regards to the percent of low and very low income units. VTC SB 35 qualifies for the maximum 3 concession and a 35% density bonus for housing. However, the actual plan requires an excessive amount of concessions and is not compliant, W The SB 35 application states that the project qualifies for three concessions derived from the density bonus as follows: Waive the requirement in Cupertino Municipal Code Section 19.56,050.E to have the identical design as market rate units. ' This reduces the costs of constructing the affordable units to design them to a specification consistent with other affordable housing projects, including different materials and finish quality. Purpose-built affordable housing projects typically include more cost-effective finishes including appliances, cabinetry, lighting, counter tops, fixtures, windows and other items. To the extent such finishes are different from those used in market rate units, the cost will be reduced for the affordable units. 3 The Project has been designed to comply with the "dispersal" requirement, as affordable units are located throughout the Project. (The one area that is an exception is that the 623 density bonus units are geographically separate, as permitted by state law and Cupertino Municipal Code section 19.56.030.F.7.) While the Project complies with this code provision, it is not obligated to under SB 35 because the requirement to be "dispersed throughout the project" is not objective because it involves personal judgment and there are no "uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal." For these reasons, a concession is not needed for this requirement. Nonetheless, the following provides a brief explanation for why relief from a requirement to uniformly disperse would achieve cost reductions. Separating the affordable units into distinct areas that can be included as separate condominiums allows them to be financed separately and with lower cost financing. Because the cost of capital is a significant component of the overall project cost, obtaining more favorable financing represents a clear and identifiable cost savings to the Project. 2. The Project proposes 400,000 square feet of retail, a reduction from the minimum amount of retail specified in the General Plan of 600,000 square feet. According to a recent Retail Opportunity Analysis of the trade area in which the Project is located summarized in Appendix K — Retail Reduction Justification Letter, in order to achieve stabilization of 600,000 square feet of retail, the Project would have to capture 100% of the existing retail demand in the trade area, an unrealistic scenario given the tenant types and pricing realities of the high quality retail product to be delivered at the Project. As such, the analysis recommended a maximum of 400,000 square feet of retail at the Project. Building in excess of 400,000 square feet would result in additional and unrecoverable costs to VPO in the form of extraordinary transaction costs (i.e. excessive monetary contributions for tenant improvements and/or lease procurement brokerage fees), extraordinary construction costs (i.e. turn -key buildouts or other non-standard improvements for tenants, or construction of un -leasable space), and/or extraordinary operating losses (i.e. operating costs in excess of rental income as a result of heavy discounts or vacant space) and cannot be offset by other Project revenues given the composition of its uses, including but not limited to the Project's affordable housing component. Limiting the retail component of the Project to 400,000 square feet would facilitate cost reductions and, in concert with other strategies, should allow VPO to offer the affordable rents contemplated by the Project's housing component. 3. If the City properly identifies an inconsistency with an objective zoning standard and waiving that standard would achieve cost reductions, this final concession is reserved for such purposes. (Va lqq Sly L5, pp. 15-16, PDF 15-16) DISCUSSION OF THREE CONCESSIONS Concession I and footnote 3 From VTC SB 35 application requests to "Waive the Cupertino Municipal Code Requirement to have identical designs as market rate units. 19.56.050.G." G,Alco:il_U 5, p.15 PDF 15) This requirement for "identical designs as market rate units" is regarding finishes, however the BMR housing units are of different sizes than the market rate units. That does not appear to be following the Cupertino Municipal Code for affordable units which they reference in the concession. In the footnote they claim that another part of the Cupertino Municipal Code, 19.56.030.F.7 allows them to ignore the dispersal requirement, however that portion of the code is for calculating density bonus and is not an allowance to not disperse the units. PH 7. For purposes of calculating a density bonus, the residential units do not have to be based upon individual subdivision maps or parcels. The bonus units shall be permitted in geographic areas of the housing development other than the areas where the affordable units are located. (Ord. 16-2149, § 8, 2016) (T)J.Ini C'ode, 19.56.030.F.7) MMURESMI 2. For purposes of this chapter, permissible incentives or concessions include, but are not limited to: a. A reduction of development standards or a modification of zoning code requirements or architectural design requirements that exceed the minimum building standards approved by the California Building Standards Commission as provided in Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code, including but not limited to, a reduction in setback requirements, square footage or parking requirements, such that the reduction or modification results in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. b. Approval of mixed-use zoning in conjunction with the housing development if commercial, office, industrial or other land uses will reduce the cost of the housing development, and if the commercial, office, industrial or other land uses are compatible with the housing development and the existing or planned development in the area where the proposed housing development will be located; c. Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City, which result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. 3. Nothing in this section requires the provision qfdirect financial incentives for the housing development, including but not limited to the provision of financial subsidies, publicly owned land by the City or the waiver of fees or dedication requirements. The City, at its sole discretion, may choose to provide such direct financial incentives; 4. A housing development which requests incentives or concessions must demonstrate, in compliance with Section 19.56 060B, that the requested incentives or concessions are required to provide for affordable rents or affordable housing costs, as applicable. CMC § 19.56.050: G. Affordable units shall be provided as follows: 1. Affordable units shall be dispersed throughout the project; 2. Affordable units shall be identical with the design of*any market rate rental units in the project with the exception that a reduction of interior amenities for affordable units will be permitted upon prior approval by the City Council as necessary to retain project affordability. 19.56.050) BI IR UNITS NOT DISPERSED: NOT COMPLIANT WITH GOV. C'ODE § 65913,4(A) The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35 in that the BMR units are not dispersed throughout the project, the units are not in the towers, floors I and 2 and in floors 10 through 23, and the units are clustered in the center parts of each floor. Part of the reason this occurred is because the Applicant chose to cluster the 623 density bonus units, while there are 1,201 BMR units, then farther limited locations where SMRs would be placed relegating them to the 3'- 91h floors. By segregating the BMR units in objectively identifiable areas geographically, in the project, the project does not comply with Ca. Gov. § 65580, CMC § 19,56.060(G) and CMC § 19.172, and Gov. Code § 65913.4(a) The city's Below Market Rate (BMR) Housing Mitigation Program Procedural Manual, 2015, authorized by CMC § 19.172 Below Market Rate Housing Program, reiterates the dispersal requirement of CMC § 19,172: 0 A. BMR units shall be comparable to market rate units in terms of unit type, number of bedrooms per unit, quality of exterior appearance and overall quality of construction. B. BMR unit size should be generally representative of the unit sizes within the market -rate portion of residential project. C. Interior features and finishes in affordable units shall be durable, of good quality and consistent with contemporary standards for new housing. D. The BMR units shall be dispersed throughout the residential project, (B.\4R Manual., p5, PDF 9) Figure 7: Location of Below Market Rate Units in SB 35 application Total of 7 Luxury Towers HaAng No BNIR Units 35 Plan, P-0831, PDF 3) Block 10 example from the plan set, following, shows that building has no BMR units on the Ground and 2"' floor, BMRs are side by side and in the center portions of floors 3-9 and there are no BMR units in floors 10-23.

This one paragraph from the "Retail Reduction Justification Letter" is the sum total reason for reducing retail in the project, and in turn, increase the office component by 200,000 SF, which at a low I employee per 300 SF amount, would result in an additional 667 employees at the site. From a jobs:housing standpoint, this choice worsens the housing shortage. Retail generates fewer employees than office, and the retail employees would be more likely to qualify for the BMR units than the office employees.

Vallco Proper• OiNner, LLC Page I March 2018 RE Concession 3 states essentially that if the City finds any inconsistency with an objective zoning standard and waiving that standard would achieve cost reductions, this final concession is reserved for such purposes. The problem with this concession is that there may be multiple objective zoning standard not found to be consistent with the SB 35 application which could have cost reductions. For instance, the number of units calculated does not appear consistent, reducing them would be a cost reduction. The General Plan does not appear to allow housing without a Specific Plan which will not be adopted according to the SB 35 application, this inconsistency results in no SB 35 project, a huge cost savings.

PARK LAND REQUIREMENT NOT MET IN VALLCO SB 35 The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35, in that there is inadequate parkland provided, there would need to be 21.2 acres of parkland dedicated, while the project calculations state there would need to be 12.96, and provides park space on the roof of the subterranean garage and on the green roof. The applicant does not state how much "at -grade" park space is actual park land, only stating 4 acres of at -grade space will be provided, thus the parkland is not compliant with the Density Bonus Law, Ca. Gov. Code § 65915 and CMC § 18.24.030. The Project does not The City of CMC park land requirement is inconsistent with the Quimby Act and the text of the Municipal Code: The Municipal Code Table 13.08.050: Park Land Dedication Formula Table does not result in 3 acres park land per 1000 residents, it ends up with less. For instance, Vallco SB 35 would have 6,798 residents according to their application showing 2.83 residents/DU. However, the General Plan EIR states the multiplier is 2.94 residents per dwelling unit. This would require 21.2 acres of park land, but the table results in just 12.96, which is incorrect. The text is what must be followed. We must insist we have park land on the ground for safe play spaces shielded from the noise and air pollution of the freeway. Population is calculated by 4,421 units times 2.94 persons per household, which is the ABA G 2040 estimated generation rate. (GP EIR p. 3 -12, PDF 46) VTC SB 35 shows 2,402 residential units times 2.94 persons per household yields 7,062 residents. This would require 21.2 acres of park land. The following SB 35 application statement regarding park land indicates 12.96 acres of park space, this is not the same as the requirement for park land. The 'at — grade' park space mentioned is on the roof of the subterranean garages and at a fictional 'at grade' location determined by the plan. The roof park space is 95' in the air, The City's General Plan park standard is three acres of park per 1,000 residents (RPC -1.2). Pursuant to Cupertino Municipal Code requirements for household size, the Town Center would generate the need for 12.96 acres of park space. The Town Center Project will provide a 30 -acre rooftop park and up to 26 acres of publicly -accessible open space, including 2 acres of at -grade park space and children's play area adjacent to Perimeter Road, 2 acres in two Town Center plazas, and 14 to 22 acres of publicly accessible green roofs on all blocks connected by bridges (the final amount of public green roof space depends on office tenant needs). The Project will also include almost 14 acres of private open space for 66 residents of the Town Center. As such, the Project complies with (and exceeds) the General Plan park standard. 3 35, p. 8, PDF 8) Figure 53: VTC SB 35 Application Park Land Total Incorrect with 2.83 residents/unit Source: Vallco Property Owner, Vallco Town Center Project Description, March 27, 2018, Appendix B: City Standards Consistency Analysis p. 26 ��Aw. calpertig, Q� i, IL _ -gjiQqie'showdocument` i& Please note that the first page of the SB 35 plans from where the following table is copied, shows up blurred at the city website and following pages do not.)

The Vallco SB 35 Proposal has to comply with the zoning requirements in Cupertino Municipal Code unless the Municipal Code conflicts with Cupertino's General Plan. When there is a conflict, Municipal Code is subordinate to the General Plan. There are two parcels, 316 20 080 and 316 20 081, within the proposed Vallco SB 35 Plan area that are zoned P(CG). The other parcels in the plan area are all zoned P(Regional Shopping) (QqRqqiqo_tic neral Plan (`otnarunity Vision 2015-2o ,04(-Ap � --- ----MLidj2cjj: Housing Element Technical Report pages 154-155) Cupertino Municipal Code Table 19.60,060 sets the maximum height for General Commercial (CG) zones at " 30 feet unless otherwise permitted by the General Plan or applicable Specific Plan." "Regional Shopping" has no defined maximum height in Cupertino Municipal Code. 19.60.060) The Cupertino General Plan on page LU -17 defers to the Specific Plan for the Vallco Shopping District Special Area's maximum height. ((LP L .LLQ, p 17, PDF 17) There is no Specific Plan for the Vallco Shopping District Special Area, Therefore, the General Plan does not set a maximum height for the Vallco Shopping District Special Area. Parcels zoned P (Regional Shopping) in the Vallco Shopping District have no maximum height, because neither Municipal Code nor the General Plan set a maximum height for P (Regional Shopping), However, the maximum height for parcels zoned P(CG) within the Vallco Shopping District is set by CG zoning and Municipal Code sets the maximum height for CG zones at 30 feet. Therefore, the two parcels zoned P(CG) in the Special Area have a 30' maximum height. The two parcels mentioned are on the West side of Wolfe Rd adjacent to Stevens Creek Blvd. The Vallco SB 35 Proposal has several buildings taller than 30 feet proposed for that area, and that is not allowed by Municipal Code. am Figure 57: County Assessor's Map, Vallco Area lH arrro T, 0 2'" x sjy ILI l_ If7 VALLCO R-3 — L CREEK 0 (QqMr1.in�>_1°_ropqqy In immion) The Project is entitled to concessions under the State Density Bonus Law.

Some portions of the air rights easement were intended to be vacated by Cupertino City Council Resolution 06- 007, January 3, 2006. In retrospect, because the cause to vacate (no longer anticipated a transit hub and associated parking on the site) has returned to the General Plan at some point, and is in the plan today. X1. SB 35 OBJECTIVE STANDARD FOR TRANSIT HUB NOT COMPLIANT The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35 in that there is no transit hub and thus does not comply with the General Plan, and Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a). The General Plan sought to place a transit transfer station at Vallco. The DEIR for Vallco (p 301, PDF 337) indicates there is a current "...a transfer center for VTA bus routes, and as a transit hub for private shuttles operated by large companies for employee pick up and drop off. In addition, these employees utilize the mall's parking garages as park-and-ride lots." The lack of a transit hub is inconsistent with the General Plan. General Plan Amendments, October 20, 2015 have the following Mobility Policy for Vallco: Policy M -4.X: Vallco Shopping District Transfer Station. Work with VTA and/or other transportation service organizations to study and develop a transit transfer station that incorporates a hub for alternative transportation services such as, car sharing, bike sharing and/or other services.

As part of the Specific Plan, the existing transit hub would be upgraded and include additional features such as an information center, drop-off point, and a bike sharing distribution point. The upgraded transit hub would continue to be used by employer shuttles to pick up and drop off employees, and is expected to serve residents of the site and employees living near the site in Cupertino and surrounding local jurisdictions. As part of the project (and General Plan Buildout with Maximum Residential Alternative and Retail and Residential Alternative), the upgraded transit hub is assumed to generate the same numbers of shuttle trips and shuttle -related vehicle trips into the site. The existing shuttle related vehicle trips were estimated from driveway counts and field observations of shuttles and employee vehicle trips to the site and park-and-ride locations collected in January 2018. (Vallco DEIR, p. 301, PDF 3 3 7) VTC SB 35 provides no transit hub and additional parking which would be required according to the General Plan. XII. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS FOR DBU CONCESSIONS MISSING: NOT COMPLIANT The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35 due to the missing Financial Analysis for the Density Bonus Unit concessions required by CMC § CHAPTER 19.56, and especial necessary given the 7 228' towers above the expansive green roof. The missing Financial Analysis results in the project not complying with Ca. Gov. Code 65913.4(a). The missing Financial Analysis results in the project not complying with CMC § 19.56.070(5), CMC § 19.56.070 (6), CMC § 19.56.070 (7). The Project is ineligible for the density bonus requested because the number of concessions exceeds three (CMC § 19.56.070 (1)). Cupertino Municipal Code § CHAPTER 19.56: DENSITY BONUS "19.56.060 Application Requirements. a. A project financial report (which may be in the form of a pro forma) demonstrating that the requested incentive(s) or concession(s) will result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions to the housing development and that they are required to provide for affordable rents or affordable housing costs, as applicable. The financial report shall include the capital costs, operating expenses, return on investment, loan -to -value ratio and the debt coverage ratio including the contribution(s) provided by any applicable subsidy program(s); b. An appraisal report indicating the value of the density bonus and of the incentive(s) or concession(s); and c. A use of funds statement identifying the financial gaps for the housing development with the affordable housing units. The analysis shall show how the funding gap relates to the incentive(s) or concession(s); The acceptance of the density bonus application would be based on a subjective decision by the city. See A. Before approving an application that includes a request for a density bonus, incentive or concession, waiver or reduction in parking standards, pursuant to this chapter, the decision-making body shall determine that the proposal is consistent with State Law by making the following findings, as applicable: 1. That the housing development is eligible for the density bonus requested and any incentives or concessions, waivers or reductions in parking standards requested. In G..) 5. That the requested incentive(s) or concession(s) will result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions based upon the financial analysis and documentation provided by the applicant and the findings of the peer -reviewer, if incentive(s) or concession(s) are requested (other than mixed use development), 6. That the proposed non-residential land uses within the proposed development will reduce the cost of the housing development and are compatible with the housing development and the existing or planned development in the area where the proposed development will be located, if an incentive or concession is requested for mixed use development. 7. That the development standard(s) for which the waiver(s) are requested would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the housing development with the density bonus and incentives or concessions permitted, if a waiver is requested, B. If the findings required by subsection (A) of this section, as applicable, can be made, the decision- making body may deny an application for an incentive or concession or waiver requested pursuant to Section 19.56.040 only if one of the following written findings as applicable to each type of application, supported by substantial evidence: ( ... ) 2. That the incentive or concession, or waiver would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety or the physical environment, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact without rendering the residential project unaffordable to low and moderate income households. For the purpose of this subsection, "specific, adverse impact" means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified, written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the application for the residential project was deemed complete; or 3. That the incentive or concession, or waiver is contrary to state or federal law. (N4uni Code, 19.56.070) XIII. VALLCO SB 35 VIOLATES STATE DENSITY BONUS LAW AND HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT- SPECIFIC ADVERSE IMPACTS — SEE VALLCO DEIR S TATE' DENSITY BONUS LAW REQUIREMENTS PER VALLCO S -B 35 APPLICATION: Under the State Density Bonus law, the City can only deny an incentive or concession if it finds that an incentive or concession does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions; would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety or the physical environment; or would violate state or federal law. It is the City's burden to provide the evidence supporting such findings. (N7. alis S 3 p. 16, PDF 16) Gov.

As used in this paragraph, a "specific, adverse impact" means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete. Inconsistency 74 with the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation shall not constitute a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety. The State Density Bonus Law requirements have not been met for the fallowing reasons: 1. Concessions requested are in excess of allowable. See Section V of this document. 2. Actual cost reductions were not presented to the city in a financial analysis. See Section VII of this document. 3. Smaller, alternative projects studied in the Vallco Specific Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report circulated for review May 24, 2018 show multiple significant negative impacts with mitigation which will have an adverse impact on public health and safety or the physical environment. HOUSING ACC OUNTABIL` Y ACT REQUIRENIEN 1'S PER -\ALLCO SB 35 APPLICATION: The Vallco SB 35 Applicant states the following: The City is only permitted to reject a project under these circumstances if there is a preponderance of evidence that the project would have a significant, unavoidable, and quantifiable impact on "objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions." Gov. Code §65589.50). There is no evidence, let alone a preponderance of evidence, that the Project would have any impact on public health and safety that cannot be feasibly mitigated. A broad range of plaintiffs can sue to enforce the Housing Accountability Act, and the City would bear the burden of proof in any challenge. Gov. Code § 65589.5(k). As recently reformed in the 2017 legislative session, the Housing Accountability Act makes attorney's fees and costs of suit presumptively available to prevailing plaintiffs, requires a minimum fine of $10,000 per housing unit for jurisdictions that fail to comply with the act within 60 days, and authorizes fines to be multiplied by five times if a court concludes that a local jurisdiction acted in bad faith when rejecting a housing development. (Vallco SB 35, p. 17, PDF 17) The Housing Accountability Act requirements have not been met for the following reasons: I. Vallco SB 35 plan does not comply with the City's objective standards and criteria. 2. Vallco SB 35 plan does not comply with SB 35 (not zoned residential, not 2/3 residential SF, is on a hazardous materials list). 3.

The Vallco Project Alternatives were based on the Vallco SB 35 plans and the results of the Vallco DEIR apply to the Vallco SB 35 plan, although, due to the number of significant negative impacts with mitigation, the Vallco SB 35 plan warrants an environmental impact report on its' specific configuration. 76 Comparison of i:; 35 Plan to Projects studied in varioust Projects at Vallco Studied in GP EIR or Vallco Special Area DEIR vs. SB 35 Plan Commercial Office SF Hotel Rooms Residential Civic Green Roof SF Dwelling Units Space (acres) General Plan EIR 2014 600,400 2,040,004 339 800 no no Vallco Special Area :DEIR 2018 Proposed 600,000 2,000,000 339 800 65,000 30 Project Project Alternatives General Plan Buildout with Maximum 600.000 t'000,llllll 339 2.640 65,000 30 Residential Alternative Retail and Residential 600,000 0 339 4,000 0 0 Alternative Occupied/Re- 1207,774 0 148 0 0 0 tenanted Mall ' Vallco SB 35 4�111,1D1111 l,ll t tl�lltldl (1.48 under 2,41)2 11 "t p to 26 Plan construction) acres' The Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Vallco Special Area Specific Pian states the following significant negative impacts with mitigation: SECTION 6.0 SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS As discussed in detail in Section 3.0, the project, General Plan Buildout with Maximum Residential Alternative, and Retail and Residential Alternative would result in the following significant and unavoidable impacts: Impact AQ -2: The construction of the project (and General Plan Buildout with Maximum Residential Alternative and Retail and Residential Alternative) would violate air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation.

Approved Development Trees are protected trees under CMC § 14. 18, and Street Trees are protected under CMC § 14.12.080. The Tentative Map and Tree Disposition Plans show City Street Trees being removed which does not comply with Ca. Gov. Code. 65913.4 (a)(5). The Vallco site has over 895 trees of which 475 with a diameter greater than 12" are slated to be cut down. The site design has nearly all of the 50.82 acre site covered with a subterranean parking garage which enables the developer to maximize the project size. As a comparison, Apple Park has 5.9 Million SF of development on 176 acres while VTC SB 35 is 10.3 Million SF of development on only 50.82 acres. The request to remove nearly every tree on the property within the subterranean garage footprint is excessive. The Applicant then proposes trees, however these would be on concrete surfaces in an untested plan with a massive green roof. The Applicant identifies 6 specimen trees and disregards that "development trees" are also protected specimen trees and would need to be catalogued with that designation. The location of the development trees is throughout the project site, ministerial approval to clear cut all but the trees along the perimeter of the site According to the Vallco DEIR publicly circulated May 24, 2018, the Vallco site has six protected specimen trees which would require an application and review before removal according to CMC 14.18.

Upon receipt of a complete tree removal permit application, the Director of Community Development or his or her authorized representative will: A. Review the application pursuant to Section 14.18.180; B. At the Director's discretion, conduct a site visit, within fourteen days, to inspect the tree(s) for which removal is requested.

(Ord. 14-2126, § 3 (part), 2014) 14.18.180 Review, Determination and Findings. A. The approval authority shall approve a tree removal permit only after making at least one of the following findings: 1. That the tree or trees are irreversibly diseased, are in danger of falling, can cause potential damage to existing or proposed essential structures, or interferes with private on-site utility services and cannot be controlled or remedied through reasonable relocation or modification of the structure or utility services; 2. That the location of the trees restricts the economic enjoyment of the property by severely limiting the use of property in a manner not typically experienced by owners of similarly zoned and situated property, and the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the approval authority that there are no reasonable alternatives to preserve the tree(s). D. The approval authority may require tree replacement(s) or accept a tree replacement in -lieu fee per Section 14.18.160 in conjunction with a tree removal permit. Tentative Map plan assumes tree removal of public street trees is "by right". Several mature street trees are planned to be removed along Stevens Creek Blvd. and Wolfe Rd.

EASEMENTS NOT MINISTERIALLY CREATED OR VACATED The Vallco site has multiple easements which would need to be vacated and/or relocated. Easements are not ministerially vacated and relocated. See CMC § 18.16.060: Action of Planning Commission—Recommending Denial upon Certain Findings. The easements onsite include public utilities, waterline, PG&E, Sanitary Sewer, Public Roadway etc. Each one would need to be studied for their impact on the plan, but some cross the site in such a way that they make the project impossible to build because of the subterranean garage structure and/or access needs.

IN THE EVENT THE CITY OF CUPERTINO FINDS AND DETERMINES NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO PROCESS AND APPROVE THE VACATION, RELOCATION, AND RE -DEDICATION OF THE EAST SIDE AND WEST SIDE ROADWAY AND PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENTS WHICH CONNECT N. WOLFE ROAD TO PERIMETER ROAD, IN THE PROPOSED CONFIGURATION IDENTIFIED ON THIS SHEET, AN ALTERNATE SITE AND EASEMENT PLAN ARE INCLUDED ON • / ' The Vallco SB 35 Proposal proposes to relocate these roadway easements held by the City of Cupertino 89 Technically, these would actually involve a vacation and the establishment of a new easement. The vacation of a roadway easement is covered under California Streets and Highway Code, CSIL Div. 9, Par 3, Ch. 3 § 8320- 8325. CSH § 8320 says that a roadway easement vacation requires a noticed, public hearing: 8320(a) The legislative body of a local agency may initiate a proceeding under this chapter in either of the following ways: On its own initiative, where the clerk of the legislative body shall administratively seta hearing by fixing the date, hour, and place of the hearing and cause the publishing and posting of the notices required by this chapter. Upon a petition or request of an interested person, at the discretion of the legislative body, except as provided in subdivision (e) of Section 8321, where the clerk of the legislative body shall administratively set a hearing by fixing the date, hour, and place of the hearing and cause the publishing and posting of the notices required by this chapter. Ca. Streets and Highway Code § 8324 gives the legislative body of the local agency authority to hear evidence and make a decision at that hearing. CSH § 8324 (a) At the hearing, the legislative body shall hear the evidence offered by persons interested. (b) If the legislative body finds, from all the evidence submitted, that the street, highway, or public service easement described in the notice of hearing or petition is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the legislative body may adopt a resolution vacating the street, highway, or public service easement. The resolution of vacation may provide that the vacation occurs only after conditions required by the legislative body have been satisfied and may instruct the clerk that the resolution of vacation not be recorded until the conditions have been satisfied.

Figure 47 below, shows the existing roadway easements and several others which need to be vacated/relocated, ME Figure 67: VTC SB 35 Civil Plans Part 1 P-0306, Existing Easements a Figure 68: Vallco Roadway Easement Various Plans M ROADWAY EASEMENT BLOCKS UNDERGROUND PARKING STRUCTURE BELOW IT VTC SB 35 — Plans Require a redesign Site Plans P -0202A, PDF 8, show the alternate building forms should the roadway easements not be ministerially vacated (which they may not be) however, their plan does not take into account the roadway easements include not just public ingress/egress rights, but "...the right to construct, repair, operate and maintain any and all public utilities and improvements which shall become necessary for preservation of the public safety, welfare, or convenience..." (Roadway Easement Recoded July 29, 1975, Bk 526 P 74, No. 5058714 of SCC records). The underground parking structure cannot happen due to the utilities rights associated with the roadway easement. Figure 69: Site Plans P -0202A, PDF 8 It goes without saying that since the Cupertino City Council has the authority to reject the proposed roadway easement changes, the City Council has the authority to reject the alternate plan proposed too. The City Council 93 only has to find that the present roadway easements are "necessary for present and prospective public use" to reject the vacation. No more and no less. PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MAY REJECT TENTATIVE MAP CMC § 18.16.060: Action of Planning Commission—Recommending Denial upon Certain Findings. A, The tentative subdivision map may be recommended for denial by the Planning Commission on any of the grounds provided by City ordinances or the State Subdivision Map Act. B. The Planning Commission shall deny approval of the tentative map if it makes any of the following findings: 1. That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans; 2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans; 3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development; 4. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development; 5. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; provided, however, the City may approve a tentative subdivision map if an environmental impact report was prepared with respect to the proposed subdivision and detailed findings were made pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 2108 1 (a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measure or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report; 6. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems; 7. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements for access or for use will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. This provision does not apply to condominium projects or stock cooperatives which consist of the subdivision of air space in an existing structure unless new units are to be constructed or added. XVI. SB 35 OBJECTIVE • IA BUILDING SETBACK: INCOMPLETE. NOT COMPLIANT Applicant is required to maintain a 1:1 view angle according to the General Plan and this requirement is included in the VTC SB 35 Project Description p. 7, PDF 7: 4.1.2 Building Set Backs Stevens Creek Boulevard and North Wolfe Road are considered "Boulevard (Arterial)" per the General Plan Mobility Element Chapter 5, Figure M-2 Circulation Network. The building blocks that front these streets are designed to meet the General Plans required 1:1 set -back plane from the existing curb. However, the Applicant makes a subjective decision about the location of the "existing curb" and does not show the true existing curb location, which results in the plan being non-compliant. 94 Complicating the matter is the fact that the Applicant does not show the dimensions of the existing curb from the centerline of the street and the distances to the property line and the actual building setbacks. Considering the shoddy work of the surveyor in the Tentative Maps, and the fact that the curb ends up very close to the property line, makes the subjective choice an error. Further, the plans call for a widening of Wolfe Rd. with thorough lanes in portions which would move the curb lines closer to the property line. It would seem that in applying for street widening in the Tentative Map, that the future curb line should be the starting point for the setback line. VTC SB 35 Application, Site Diagrams, P-0508, PDF 8 shows only two cross-sections, one on Wolfe Rd. and one on Stevens Creek Blvd. for setback compliance. The problem with these sections are that they include too few dimensions, do not reference the street centerline and property line, and do not locate the existing curb, which has a variable location in relation to the centerline of N. Wolfe Rd. The City of Cupertino Street Plans include the N. Wolfe Rd. and Stevens Creek Blvd. "As Built" plans by De Leuw, Cather & Co., see sheets C6 - C8 which are shown later in this section for reference.

Wolfe Rd is obviously closer to the property line than the Setback Compliance figures show, and the plans are drawn too poorly, with no dimensions. This is not compliant with city standards.

SUBDIVISION MAP ACT — NOT COMPLIANT The Tentative Map was not made public for review until the week of June 10', 2018, prior to that they were only available by request. The plans were submitted March 27, 2018. 104 The plans violate the Subdivision Map Act: 1. There is a gross error showing an extra existing driveway on Stevens Creek Blvd., with associated minor errors showing parking striping in said driveway, and a fictitious topographic contour. 2. Violates Gov. Code § 66477: insufficient parkland provided. XVIII. TENTATIVE MAP AND CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS SHOW NONEXISTENT EXISTING DRIVEWAY, AND DO SO INCONSISTENTLY — NOT COMPLIANT As part of the Tentative Map submittal, the plans are to consolidate parcels at the Vallco site, from the Civil Plans there are two driveways drawn on the east side of the Sears Building along Stevens Creek Blvd. however, only one exists. When looking at the official Tentative Map submitted, the nonexistent driveway shows up again, however it also has confusing parking spaces drawn through it. The plans need to be resubmitted with the erroneous driveway removed. This gross error give the appearance of extra access to the site which does not exist, this is not a trivial error. The city made the Tentative Map submitted available online the week of June 10', 2018. The plans, excluding the Tentative Map were available the week of May 27". The plans show a nonexistent existing driveway on Stevens Creek Blvd. This is not allowed under the Subdivision Map Act, Subdivided Lands Act, and the CMC § 18.16 Tentative Subdivision Maps. Given that Google Maps allows a person to virtually "walk" up and down the street and verify there is only one driveway on the east side of the Sears building on Stevens Creek Blvd., this negligence is a sign that a perfunctory site report was performed. The people of Cupertino deserve more than slapdash work. The people of Cupertino deserve more than a slapdash Vallco proposal. The following maps share the nonexistent driveway image: • P-0301 Existing Surface Plan • P-0302 Existing Surface Contours (with fabricated contours) • P-0303 Existing Parcels • P-0305 Existing Offsite Rights • P-0306 Existing Easements Plan • The Tentative Map package, TM 2.8 • P-0502 Site Diagrams — Pedestrian Circulation — Street Level • P-0503 Site Diagrams — Pedestrian Circulation — Green Roof Level • P-0504 Site Diagrams — Bicycle Circulation • P-0505 Site Diagrams — Vehicular Circulation (shows car movements in and out of the nonexistent driveway) • P-0506 Site Diagrams — Transit Circulation • P-0510 Site Diagrams — Construction Sequences The following two maps do not share the nonexistent driveway: • Tentative Map TM 3.8, Tree Disposition • Tentative Map TM 4.8 Existing Public and Private Easements and Boundaries • Tentative Map TM 6.8 Grading and Drainage Plan SURVEYOR OF RECORD LICENSE INFORMATION Name: JOHNSON, KELLY SANFORD License Type: Professional Land Surveyor License Number: 48759 License Status: Active First Issued Date: Dec 7 2011 License Issued: Mar 7 2017 Expiration Date: Mar 30 2019 Address: GREENACRES WA 99016 ENGINEER OF RECORD LICENSE INFORMATION Licensee Name: BROWNING CHAD JAMES License Type: CIVIL ENGINEER License Number: 68315 License Status: CLEAR Definition Expiration Date: September 30, 2019 Address: 778 LAYTON ST City: SANTA CLARA State: CA Zip: 95051 County: SANTA CLARA Actions: No What the nonexistent driveway does, is give the appearance that there are two driveways plus Perimeter Rd., a private road which is on the west side of the Sears Automotive building, Then, when the plans show the two driveways that have not been at the site for at least 23 years, it looks like very little is modified. Then the Applicant can claim only a minor modification to Stevens Creek Blvd, and have ministerial approval under SB 35. A driveway is an access point for the property, and worth a lot to the developer, Vallco Town Center Measure D, upon review of the Environmental Assessment, April 2016, shows the same nonexistent driveway. However, they also photographed the area, and Google Maps has been offering "street view" for several years Figure 83: Google Maps Street View - Single Driveway MR Figure 84: VTC SB 35 Civil Drawings Part 1, Existing Parcels, P-0303 ff#YA Figure 85: Nonexistent Driveway, Existing Surface Plan, P-0301 In this very confusing expanded and annotated view of Tentative Map TM 2.8 the driveway edge line is drawn, and the topographic lines are drawn as if there is an object causing it to create a shape, like a curbed planter perhaps. The plans also show striping for parking spaces across the driveway opening when there obviously can be no parking there. Additionally, the driveway was embellished with a STOP sign.

CODE § 66477. QUIMBY ACT; PARK AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES The Tentative Map indicates that parkland must be according to the census -derived multiplier used in the General Plan EIR (2,94 residents per unit) and results in a total of 21.2 acres, the park land provided in the SB 35 application is insufficient and thus the plan is not compliant with Ca. Gov. Code § 66477. (a) The legislative body of a city or county may, by ordinance, require the dedication of land or impose a requirement of the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both, for park or recreational purposes as a condition to the approval of a tentative map or parcel map, if all of the following requirements are met: (1) The ordinance has been in effect for a period of 30 days prior to the filing of the tentative map of the subdivision or parcel map. (2) The ordinance includes definite standards for determining the proportion of a subdivision to be dedicated and the amount of any fee to be paid in lieu thereof. The amount of land dedicated or fees paid shall be based upon the residential density, which shall be determined on the basis of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map or parcel map and the average number of persons per household. There shall be a rebuttable presumption that the average number of persons per household by units in a structure is the same as that disclosed by the most recent available federal census or a census taken pursuant to Chapter 17 (commencing with Section 40200) of Part 2 of Division 3 of Title 4. However, the dedication of land, or the payment of fees, or both, shall not exceed the proportionate amount necessary to provide three acres of park area per 1, 000 persons residing within a subdivision subject to this section XIX. PROJECT APPLICATION CLAIMS CMC DOES NOT ADMINISTER BMR PROGRAM The Project does not comply with the criteria of SB 35 in that the Applicant claims the Cupertino Municipal Code would not be applicable to the administration of the BMR program, thus, without the BMR program administration the project does not comply with Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a)(4)(13)(ii). Gov. Code § 65913.4 (a)(4)(B)(ii): (ii) The locality did not submit its latest production report to the department by the time period required by Section 65400, or that production report reflects that there were fewer units of housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income that were issued building permits than were required for the regional housing needs assessment cycle for that reporting period, and the project seeking approval dedicates 50 percent of the total number of units to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, unless the locality has adopted a local ordinance that requires that greater than 50 percent of the units be dedicated to housing affordable to households making below 80 percent of the area median income, in which case that ordinance applies. 119 Figure 95: VTC SB 35 Application, Vallco Town Center Project Description City Standards Consistency Analysis, p. 55, PDF 80 Cupertino's BMR Housing Mitigation Program Procedural manual, P. 7, PDF 11 states 2.3.7 Agreement between Developer and City A.

Code § 65913.4(a): "(a) A development proponent may submit an application for a development... Applicant may submit "an application", applicant submitted two plans: the main plan set and one referred to possibly minimally in the VTC SB 35 Development Application Project Description, Appendix B: City Standards Consistency Analysis, p. 41, PDF 66, and two pages of inserted plan sheets which show up in the Civil Plan Set as "Alternate Proposed Public Utility and Access Easements in the Civil Plans Part 1, P -0307.A, PDF 8 and also shows up in the Site Plan set as "Master Site Plan — Street Level — Alternate" found in the Site Plan set P -0202A, PDF 8. The plan set is incomplete for review, the subterranean garage under utility easement has not been contemplated and the main Project submitted also did not contemplate the utility easement included in the roadway easements at the former TGIFriday's site and the Alexander's Steak House locations.

If approval of the Planning Commission is required, it "shall not in anyway inhibit, chill, or preclude the ministerial approval provided by" SB 35 and must be based on objective standards that are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark pursuant to Gov. Code § 65913.4(a)(5), (c). Although the denial findings in 18.16.060 are subjective because they require judgment by decision -makers and thus are not applicable, none of those findings can be made: the map and the Project are consistent with the general plan; the site is physically suitable for the Project; the site is physically suitable for the Project's density (as confirmed by the General Plan); the Proposed project is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage; the Project will not cause serious public health problems; and the Project will not conflict with public easements, or if there is conflict, alternative easements will be provided that are substantially equivalent to existing easements. [to However, the project is not compliant with CMC § 18.16.060, for the following reasons: 1. Denial findings would be based on CSH § 8320 which says that a roadway easement vacation requires a noticed, public hearing. It can not be 'taken' by right. 1 The 'main' project and alternative is not consistent with the General Plan. There is no accepted EIR with over 800 residential units at Vallco. 3. The General Plan has no determination that the site is suitable for the project's density (main or alternative) 4. The DEIR circulated for Vallco Specific Plan does show a multitude of significant negative impacts ABOVE those found in the General Plan EIR. 5. The project conflicts with public easements, and the alternative easements provided are NOT substantially equivalent to the existing easements because they render the project unbuildable and the project alternative plan cannot be built as shown (they cannot excavate below the road because of the underground utilities.) The plan Alternative, is a second plan and needs a second S13 35 submittal and full review. The number of SF, percentages and objective standards would all need to be submitted for review and the package is currently incomplete. While it could potentially become the basis of an effort at compliancy if the original submittal failed, the assumption that two plans are under review is not correct. Lastly, the site remains on a hazardous materials list which renders it ineligible for SB 35 ministerial streamlining pursuant to Gov. Code § 69513.4 (a)(6)(E), City of Cupertino. "GPA -2014 EIR."
