Subject: I support the De Anza hotel GPA
Dear Mayor Scharf and Council:
Please enter this letter into the public record. And save this letter for posterity, because it's proof that a Better
Cupertino supporter isn't against all development.
I supp011 this GPA because the proposed De Anza hotel:
• is well designed -it is set back after the first floor so it's not a six-story wall; it has balconies and other
attractive/ useful features, and appears to use quality, aesthetic materials -in other words, will not be a
flat monolith made ofticky-tacky like we're seeing so much of in Silicon Valley these days. Quality
matters.
• it is not located next to people's homes, and
• it is in an area where traffic is not much of an issue (I regularly shop at the shopping center there and
drive those sections of De Anza Blvd and Homestead, so I speak from experience).
This is not a Stern hotel situation. This is also not the Oaks, where the developer wants to completely cover 8
acres with 6-8 story buildings with no setbacks in an area where gridlock is a problem.
It also matters to me that Vidovich has worked in good faith with the city (I believe), and has had this project in
the pipeline for a while.
I do think we should tighten the General Plan and make it harder to get GP As for the future ( and the sooner the
better!).
But this proposed hotel is definitely something I can, and want to live with.
Speaking only for myself,
