project has been found to be consistent with the requirements of Cupertino Municipal
Code Chapter 19.28 Single Family (R-1) Residential.
2. The granting of the permit will not result in a condition that is detrimental or injurious to property
improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare.
The granting of the permit will not result in a condition that is detrimental or injurious to
property improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare as the project is located within the R1-5 (Single Family Residential)
zoning district, and will be compatible with the surrounding uses and neighborhood.
3. The proposed project is harmonious in scale and design with the general neighborhood.
The proposed project is located in a residential area consisting of single family homes. The
proposed project maintains the single family home scale found in the neighborhood.
4. Adverse visual impacts on adjoining properties have been reasonably mitigated.
Any potential adverse impacts on adjoining properties have been reasonably mitigated
through the installation of privacy protection plantings and a new front yard tree as
required.
