We collectively urge the city and this council to proactively address all housing needs in the city, meet its current RHNA
allocation, and to stay ahead of what we expect to be a large RHNA allocation in the new cycle through concrete steps in

Subject:A Few Suggestions For Tonight's Goal Setting Meeting
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the
sender and know the content is safe.
Hello All,
Not sure If I will be able to make tonight’s goal setting meeting so I thought that I would send these three suggestions
along.
I would love to see the following items on this year’s to‐do list or at least have them brought up for Council discussion if
they aren’t on your radars already.
1) Term Limits On Housing Entitlements. It seems unfair that any developer should be allowed to hold a project approval
or housing entitlement as a way to hedge the market. I’m thinking of maybe a limit of 5 years, but that would have to be
discussed further.
2) Vacancy Taxes: We’ve all heard that there is approximately one home for every 400,000 homeless people in the Bay
Area. Again, housing is not a commodity or safety deposit box for overseas investors. Of course special cases of
exemption could be made as I mentioned in an email to you all last year. Vancouver and other cities more recently are
having decent success with a percentage vacancy fee. Those monies could be put in a fund for acquiring public land for
affordable housing.
3) Tighter More Precise Definitions of Parkland: We’ve already heard over and over that our residents do not favor
rooftop parks for usual and popular park uses such as soccer, frisbee, baseball, picnicking, small children or people with
disabilities. I am also opposed to narrow strips of land, medians, bridges, or other unusable areas sufficing as parkland to
meet development requirements as per our GPA. Rooftop parks should only be an adjunct to real park space or count as
one quarter to a half as qualifying park space for a development due to limits on activity options and accessibility.
Thanks for reading and considering these ideas!
Best,
Danessa Techmanski

Dear City Council and City Manager:
As a Housing Commissioner I was pleased to see our proposed items on this proposed work program. Homelessness,
Housing Strategies and ELI/DD project. I see that some items under Homelessness were broken out separately. All of
these items were brought forward from last year since Reports from last year identify specific needs moving forward.
I urge you to continue the work in these critical areas for our vulnerable populations.

Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council Members, and City Manager,
Attached please find a copy of the speech given at the City Council Meeting on 2/24/2020.
More and more cities are fighting against the installation of 4G and 5G wireless antennas, until scientific studies are done
to prove the safety of 5G and it’s affects on humans. We need time before any more cell sites and cell towers are
installed.
During our research of cell site issues, we have found a legal way to stop 4G and 5G from proceeding. This is a way
Cupertino can get a “stay”, until the wireless companies and the FCC complete an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement, which could take them 6‐12 months. This will give us time to have the FCC’s new
regulation overturned.
The following was taken “verbatim” from an informative 20 minute video, titled‐
"Densified 4G and 5G CPMRAs Discussed in Maui County Hawaii on 11/6/2019", given by Paul McGavin:
“I would like to see the substantial written evidence in the file that shows that the wireless industry and FCC have
completed the court mandated environmental assessment or environmental impact statement. If they haven’t completed
the mandate, everything must stop. No more applications. No more processing. No more installations, because every
application is now incomplete.”

************************
City Council Speech- Feb 24, 2020 given by Karen Chang
Good evening. My name is Karen Chang. My husband Henry and I are pooling together
our two allotted times to speak. First, I’d like to thank the Cupertino City Council for
asking Verizon to relocate the small cell site that was originally proposed on the edge of
Jollyman Park. This action has put a temporary halt to the installation. We are NOT
against technology. We believe wireless antennas belong in commercial and industrial
districts, NOT in residential neighborhoods or near elementary schools. Wireless
companies do not share their antennas with one another, so antennas could potentially be
installed all over our city. We want independent scientific evidence that 4G and 5G is safe.
On September 26, 2018, the FCC created a new regulation, that would help accelerate the
deployment of 4G and 5G sites throughout the U.S., thus, many cities and states are now
protesting. On January 14, 2019, Palo Alto Congresswoman Anna Eshoo introduced
Federal Bill HR 530, called “Accelerating Broadband Development by Empowering Local
Communities Act of 2019”. It would invalidate the FCC’s Sept ruling, giving power back
to local govt, in deciding where wireless antennas can be located.
On June 27, 2019, Senator Diane Feinstein proposed Bill S 2012, called “Restoring Local
Control Over Public Infrastructure Act of 2019”. This bill nullifies rules issued by the FCC
that revoke state and local authority to regulate telecommunications equipment deployment,
and to determine the amount of payment for the use of such equipment. Both Bills HR 530
and S 2012 are in their early stages, and have a lot of support.
Recently many cities have taken legal actions against the FCC's Sept. 2018 ruling. Over a
dozen cities, including San Jose, Seattle, and Los Angeles, challenged the FCC over these
rulings. Other municipalities have written up various restrictions on where cell antennas
can be located. The City of Palo Alto has adopted the following restrictions; we would like
Cupertino to consider enforcing similar ones:
oNot in residential areas, unless all other options have been exhausted
oPlace cell towers in commercial and industrial districts
oErect towers on corners, instead of in front of houses
o600 feet from schools, instead of the previous 300 feet
o600 feet from other cell towers
o20 feet from any building
oConsider placing them underground
Last year, the FCC tried to install wireless antennas on Indian Reservations. On March 15,
2019, Oklahoma’s United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians sued the FCC’s attempt to
install small cell sites, without consulting the tribes. A citizen of Maryland, named Edward
B. Myers didn’t want wireless antennas in his neighborhood either, so he added an
Intervener Brief to the lawsuit. Deservedly, on Aug 9, 2019, they won an order overruling
the FCC’s attempt to prevent local environmental and historical reviews. The court ruled
that “the commission did not sufficiently justify an order allowing telecom providers to
deploy 5G small-cell infrastructure at heritage sites without consulting tribes or under going
historic preservation and environmental reviews.” This new ruling against the FCC applies
to every state throughout the U.S. Now other cities have a legal way to get a temporary
“stay”, postponing the installation of 4G and 5G, giving them more time for the FCC’s Sept
2018 ruling to be overturned.
Napa, Petaluma, and Maui have used the following excerpt to acquire temporary “stays” on
any further installation of wireless antennas. (Today, we will email the City Council the
website from which this information was obtained.)
“I would like to see the substantial written evidence in the file that shows that the
wireless industry and the FCC have completed the court mandated environmental
assessment or environmental impact statement, because if they haven’t, then
everything must STOP.
No more applications.
No more processing.
No more installations.
Because every application is now INCOMPLETE!!!”
Once the wireless antennas have been installed, it’s highly unlikely that the wireless
companies will remove existing antennas, even if there’s evidence that they are UNSAFE.
We are asking the Cupertino City Council to buy us more time, until the federal govt does
independent scientific studies on the safety of 4G and 5G. This is one way the Cupertino
City Council can help preserve ALL of it’s citizens' “Quality of Life”.
Thank you.
I would like to see the substantial written
evidence in the file that shows that the
wireless industry and the FCC have
completed the court mandated
environmental assessment or environmental
impact statement, because if they haven’t,
then everything must STOP.
