STAFF REPORT
Meeting: June 28, 2022
Subject
The fifth meeting on the Housing Element update focusing on the establishment of a
housing sites selection inventory. The previous four meetings were solely with the
Planning Commission.
Recommended Action
That the Planning Commission and Housing Commission receive the report and
presentation, provide input on the proposed housing inventory sites, and make a

included on the housing sites inventory.
Discussion
Background: Housing Element Update/RHNA
The City is currently preparing its 6th Cycle Housing Element update, which covers the
planning period of 2023 to 2031. The Housing Element is part of Cupertino’s General Plan
and identifies policies and programs intended to meet the housing needs of the City’s
current and future residents, at all levels of income. State law requires that every city and
county in California adopt a Housing Element every eight years to reflect the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) established for each jurisdiction. The City’s RHNA
is 4,588 units for the 2023‐2031 planning period. Based on income levels, Cupertino’s
RHNA of 4,588 breaks down as follows: 1,193 Very‐Low income units; 687 Low income
units; 755 Moderate income units; 1,953 Above‐Moderate, or market rate, units.
Once a jurisdiction’s RHNA has been determined cities must demonstrate that they have
adequate housing sites to accommodate their RHNA. There are specific requirements on
site selection, ensuring that the City has policies in place to support the development of
housing for persons at all income levels, as specified by State law. Based on Planning
Commission input at meetings held on January 25, February 22, April 26, and May 24,
2022, staff has refined the City’s inventory of potential Housing Element sites. Site
PC HC 07-05-2022

selection remains the focus of this fifth meeting, which jointly includes the Housing
Commission. Following the Planning and Housing Commission’s review and
recommendation, a meeting discussing the Housing Element update’s status and the sites
selection inventory will be scheduled before the City Council, most likely in early August
2022.
On September 21, 2021, the City Council awarded a consultant agreement to prepare the
6th Cycle Housing Element update to EMC Planning Group (EMC). Since that time EMC
and City staff have held two City Council study sessions, on September 28 and November
16, 2021, focusing on the overall Housing Element update process and State requirements
that have greatly expanded the role and extent of public outreach required for the 6th
Cycle. Additionally, a daytime Housing Commission study session and evening
community workshop were held on December 9, 2021.
In early March, the City Council held meetings focusing on the community engagement
component of the Housing Element and also established the ad hoc Community
Engagement Plan‐Strategic Advisory Committee to guide the planning of the City’s
future community engagement and compliance with State Affirmatively Furthering Fair
Housing (AFFH) requirements.
Previous Planning Commission Study Sessions
At the January and February Planning Commission study sessions, staff and EMC
provided overviews of the housing sites selection process and identified nearly 400
properties citywide that could potentially be placed on the City’s housing sites inventory.
The majority of these properties fell within the property size range, 0.5‐10 acres,
recommended by the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD), the State agency that oversees the Housing Element update process and
ultimately certifies all city and county Housing Elements. During the January and
February study sessions, Planning Commissioners provided staff with principles and
objectives to guide which sites should be included, specifically: 1) that housing sites
should be dispersed throughout the City and strive for a balance between the City’s
eastern and western areas; 2) new housing sites should avoid or minimize displacement
of existing uses, particularly existing residential uses that would necessitate relocation of
residents; 3) the Housing Element should avoid “up‐zoning” sites to the extent feasible;
4) the Housing Element should include new housing sites that could support the City’s
existing schools and help counteract declining enrollment trends that are occurring city
and county wide (Attachment B, “Housing Affordability and Declining School
Enrollment”).
Based on this input, staff and EMC presented a reduced list of potential housing sites at
the April 26 Planning Commission meeting and grouped the potential sites by
neighborhood and special area to better illustrate the location of the properties.
Considerable public comment was provided at the April 26 meeting. The Planning
Commission reiterated its previously‐stated principles and goals for housing site

selection, also directing staff to focus on, including several “key” sites along South
DeAnza and Stevens Creek Boulevards.
Analysis
Pipeline Projects and RHNA
Attachment A (Sites Inventory Table) of this staff report is the current list of properties
recommended for inclusion on the housing sites inventory. At the top of Attachment A
are the City’s nine residential “pipeline projects.” Pipeline projects are those that have
received development entitlements but have not yet been constructed or received
building permits or certificates of occupancy for any of the approved residential units.
Given that pipeline projects have the necessary approvals in place to proceed to the
development stage, these projects have a high degree of certainty that they will be
constructed within the 2023‐2031 planning cycle, more so than sites that only have the
appropriate zoning designation to allow for residential development. Cupertino has a
significant amount of pipeline units, 3,536, with pipeline units making up 77% of the
City’s overall RHNA of 4,588. Additionally, the City can take credit for ADU production
that is anticipated to occur in the next planning cycle. This large amount of pipeline units
and ADU units appears to leave the City only 908 units short of its RHNA. However,
since the RHNA is broken down into the Very‐Low, Low, Moderate and Above‐Moderate
income categories, those categories must be taken into consideration during the site
selection process.

*Amount of units needed per RHNA for income category. Limited to 0 since a credit cannot be applied due to

As Shown in Table 1, above, due the significant amount of pipeline and ADU units, the
City is exceeding its RHNA in the Low and Above‐Moderate income categories for the
2023‐2031 planning period. However, the City is not meeting its Very‐Low and Moderate
RHNA requirements through pipeline projects, resulting in a need (shown as “Balance”
in Table 1) of 1,497 Very‐Low and Moderate income units beyond those provided by
pipeline projects. Additionally, HCD recommends a “buffer” of between 15‐30% of
additional units be included in the sites inventory for each of the below market‐rate
income categories (i.e., Very‐Low, Low and Moderate incomes), in accordance with the
PC HC 07-05-2022
9 of 60

State’s No Net Loss Law. Buffer and the No Net Loss Law are discussed in more detail,
below.
Priority Housing Sites
Listed below the pipeline projects on the Sites Inventory Table (Attachment A) are the
properties recommended for inclusion on the housing sites inventory. There are two Tiers
of properties shown, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 properties are recommended, Tier 2 sites are
included as alternative sites for reasons discussed, below. There are 59 individual Tier 1
properties that, if developed at the minimum densities specified in the Table, would
result in 1,871 new housing units.
Staff recommends these properties for the sites inventory based primarily on the
guidance given by the Planning Commission during the four preceding study sessions,
specifically:
1. The properties are not clustered in the Heart of the City/Stevens Creek Boulevard
corridor;
2. They are dispersed throughout the City, including the west side; and
3. They minimize or avoid potential displacement of existing residents through
future redevelopment of the sites.
Generally, there are three major change areas in the City with over 1,360 or 73%, of the
recommended units. They are:
Stelling Gateway/Homestead (467 units) in the northwestern portion of the City;
South De Anza (268 units) in the southwestern portion of the City; and
North Vallco Park/Vallco Shopping District (625 units) in the northeastern portion
of the City.
Buffer/No Net Loss Law
Even though only 1,497 units are needed to meet the City’s RHNA by income category,
once pipeline projects are accounted for, HCD recommends a “buffer” of 15‐30%
additional units be included in the sites inventory. The purpose of the buffer is to comply
with the State’s No Net Loss Law (SB 166), which requires that sufficient adequate sites
are available at all times throughout the 2023‐2031 RHNA planning period, for each
income category. For instance, if the City were to approve a project or a series of projects
at lower densities or different income levels than what is designated in the Housing
Element, it could result in the City dropping below the required number of units for one
or more income level categories. To prevent this from happening, HCD recommends a
RHNA buffer of 15‐30% but does not mandate any particular number within that range.
PC HC 07-05-2022
10 of 60

Some jurisdictions include buffers greater than 30%, while others have included less than
15% in their Housing Elements.
Ostensibly, a buffer at the higher end of the range will provide more assurance that sites
will be consistently available at all income categories during the planning period than a
lower percentage buffer. This means once pipeline projects are considered, Cupertino’s
remaining RHNA plus buffer would require the City to zone more than the balance of
1,497 units indicated in Table 1. The City can zone 1,871 units, which equates to a buffer
of over 25%, still at the upper end of HCD’s recommended range. These numbers also
assume an estimated 144 additional accessory dwelling units (ADU), based at a rate of 18
per year, will be added to the City’s housing stock during the 2023‐2031 planning period.
Thus, when reviewing the Sites Inventory Table, the objective should be to maintain the
approximate number of units that would result from the recommended Tier 1 sites at the
densities specified, depending on the size of the buffer desired. The Housing
Commission/Planning Commission can recommend a different buffer percentage for the
Council’s consideration, if it so chooses. The Commissions should keep in mind that a
smaller buffer increases the risk that the City will be required to revise the Housing
Element to comply with No Net Loss requirements during the 6th Cycle production
period. If there are additional sites proposed to be added to the Table, such as Tier 2 sites
that include properties in the Heart of the City area located near Cupertino High School,
this could allow decisionmakers the ability to remove some of the Tier 1 sites or reduce
minimum required site densities.
Density Considerations
The density at which sites develop, or are anticipated to develop, is important for the City
to produce the required number of units. The City could adopt a strategy to require
Priority Housing sites to develop at the density indicated in the Housing Element to
ensure that the City achieves its goals rather than allowing them to develop at a lower
density.
It is also possible that the City consider an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) for certain
(or all) Priority Housing sites or establish a City density bonus that could be applied in
addition to State density bonus law. This could allow an increase to the density of
projects, if they were primarily affordable to households at lower income levels or,
specifically, at income levels where the City needs to have units develop in the 2023‐2031
Housing Element cycle. For Cupertino, since there needs to be an increased production
of Very‐Low income and Moderate income level housing, the City could consider
increased density (e.g., an increase of 50%) for projects that provide a greater number of
units of these income levels.

Next Steps
Once the Planning and Housing Commissions have made their recommendations on
housing sites selection, the next step in the Housing Element update process will be a
meeting before the City Council, tentatively scheduled for late July or early August 2022.

Re: Sites Inventory Recommendation
SUMMARY
This memorandum furthers the Sites Inventory process and introduces the second Balancing Act map with
associated website survey pages.
ACTION REQUEST
A request for recommendation to Council for further development of a final sites list necessary for
environmental review and Housing Element update draft for HCD review.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Housing Element’s site inventory is to identify and analyze specific land (sites) that is
available and suitable for residential development in order to determine the jurisdiction’s capacity to
accommodate residential development and reconcile that capacity with the jurisdiction’s Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Sites are suitable for residential development if the City’s regulations
(zoning and general plan) allow enough residential development to accommodate its RHNA during the
Housing Element Cycle 6 planning period (2023-2031). If there are not existing sites to accommodate the
RHNA for each income category, the City must identify additional sites until there are enough sites.
The total RHNA for Cupertino’s existing and future housing need is 4,588 housing units, at varying levels
of affordability. Cupertino’s Housing Element update is expected to accommodate 1,193 very low-income
units, 687 low-income units, 755 moderate-income units, and 1,953 above moderate-income units.
The sites inventory analysis is the first step in the update process because it will help us understand what
kind of environmental review may be necessary. Our process must enable enough time for a potential
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and all the technical reports that accompany that effort, to be
prepared and certified.
The Planning Commission initially met on January 25, 2022 to discuss the layering concepts of the
following maps:
• Interested property owners for housing element sites
• Qualifying properties based upon lot size
• Potential housing opportunity sites
PC HC 07-05-2022
26 of 60
EMC Planning Group
• Corridor idea sites for future housing consideration
• Cupertino housing simulator maps, tables, and comments
The Planning Commission met for three additional study sessions on February 22, 2022, April 26, 2022,
and May 24, 2022 (without EMC consultation) to further discuss a refined number of sites related to the
following criteria:
• Interested property owners for housing element sites
• Deeper analysis for qualifying properties according to Planning Commission goals to balance east-
west distribution of sites, minimize displacement, reduce up-zoning, and support declining school
enrollment.
DISCUSSION
A revised table of sites is included as an attachment to this memorandum to be used as further discussion
and as resources to use in tandem with the Cupertino Housing Simulator 2.0 release. Review and
consideration of this list of sites by Planning Commissioners will guide staff’s approach to presenting this
information for Council review.
TIERS FOR SITES
Tier 1 is the default for all sites within the current Sites List, except for the Pipeline Projects and the Tier
2 sites. Through analysis, City Staff review, and Planning Commission guidance, the initial Sites list has
transformed from nearly 400 sites to this refined list of 16 Pipeline Project parcels (those with
entitlements), 58 Tier 1 parcels, and 23 Tier 2 parcels, for a total of 98 parcels (including Pipeline sites) for
consideration with the Sites Inventory List. Tier 2 sites may be added back to the primary list or remain as
secondary options for Council consideration.
BUFFER
A buffer to the initial RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) number is recommended by HCD:
To ensure that sufficient capacity exists in the housing element to accommodate the RHNA
throughout the planning period, it is recommended the jurisdiction create a buffer in the
housing element inventory of at least 15 to 30 percent more capacity than required, especially
for capacity to accommodate the lower income RHNA. https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-
development/housing-element/docs/sites_inventory_memo_final06102020.pdf
We are presenting options within the Balancing Act map, to enable the user to select either buffers that
relate to the full RHNA of 4,588 units; or to instead select a buffer absent the Pipeline Projects, which
projects with entitlements, and only in need of building permits to move forward with construction. HCD
is requiring demonstrable evidence that sites are reasonably expected to be built within the eight-year
Housing Element cycle. We have yet to secure letters from all Pipeline Project property owners stating
their intention to build their projects by 2031, but are in the process of doing so and expect to have
responses from the property owners confirming their intent to proceed with their respective projects.
The lower income RHNA is the specific need that is addressed through the No Net Loss program. We have
initiated our analysis for addressing affordability as it relates to sites. Certainly, programs and policies will
PC HC 07-05-2022
27 of 60
EMC Planning Group
be essential in Cupertino for low and very-low-income units to successfully be built. The general strategy
is for affordable units to be distributed throughout the city.
DENSITY
Changes to density for sites may need to exceed the number shown with the attached tables and maps.
This is because HCD will not accept a maximum density allowance as a proxy for reasonable anticipated
development of the site. The revised table of sites shows minimum densities for each site and bases
development of the site on the acreage and minimum density shown.
NO NET LOSS
The buffer is intended to assist Cities into the future, establishing a “bench” of potential additional housing
sites that may be eligible to meet affordable housing criteria. It enables staff to report out such flexibility
to HCD and can avoid the potential for urgent re-zoning during the mid-cycle of the planning period. The
Following is HCD guidance:
To comply with the No Net Loss Law, as jurisdictions make decisions regarding zoning and
land use, or development occurs, jurisdictions must assess their ability to accommodate new
housing in each income category on the remaining sites in their housing element site
inventories. A jurisdiction must add additional sites to its inventory if land use decisions or
development results in a shortfall of sufficient sites to accommodate its remaining housing
need for each income category. In particular, a jurisdiction may be required to identify
additional sites according to the No Net Loss Law if a jurisdiction rezones a site or if the
jurisdiction approves a project at a different income level than shown in the sites inventory.
Lower density means fewer units than the capacity assumed in the site inventory.
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-
element/docs/sites_inventory_memo_final06102020.pdf
If the approval of a development at a lower residential density results in the remaining sites
capacity becoming inadequate to accommodate the RHNA by income category, a jurisdiction
has up to 180 days from the approval to identify, or rezone, “sufficient additional, adequate,
and available sites” to accommodate the remaining RHNA for each income category.
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element-
memos/docs/sb-166-final.pdf
CONSIDERATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS
Owners of sites that are not located in geohazard zones and meet the generalized size qualification,
between 0.5 acre – 10 acres, were sent a letter that invites them to consider whether they might like to
become a potential Housing Element site. Property owners of any size interested in constructing
additional housing units on their site, can sign-up to have their property included in this Sites List at
https://rb.gy/2mz5eq. This list will continue to impact the draft update throughout the life of this process.
Property owner participation is invaluable for demonstrating the reasonableness that a site may be
developed by 2031.
GENERAL TIMELINE
Following compilation of a Council-approved Sites Inventory List, the CEQA process will be initiated.
PC HC 07-05-2022
28 of 60
EMC Planning Group
We will then provide a full early draft document for HCD review, with a 30-day public review period. The
sooner we can bring a rough draft to HCD’s attention, the better guidance our team will have in keeping
our process on track to meet certification deadlines.

Senate Bills: State laws that can be considered to meet RHNA
Senate Bills 9 and 10 were passed in 2021 to enable increased flexibility for
property owners and local governments to support construction of infill housing
in areas that are already developed. Both laws apply to single-family zoned
properties, and are optional. These laws respect the uniqueness for each lot and

each City by enabling an ability for individuals and local governments to
determine potential opportunities to increase the number of housing units in
ways that align with community goals for the local built environment.
These descriptions are included to provide information for these options. For any
SB-9 projects to count towards Cupertino’s 6th Cycle update, a letter of intent
by each property owner interested in constructing this type of project would be
helpful for HCD Sites Inventory compliance towards certification.
If you are a property owner interested in constructing units with SB-9 regulations,
please sign-up to have your property included in this Sites List at
https://rb.gy/2mz5eq .
Senate Bill 9 (SB - 9): Ability for property owners to add units for single-family
zoned lots
SB 9 is intended to support increased supply of homes by encouraging building
of smaller houses on existing or subdivided small lots. For SB-9 sites to be
considered for the 6th Cycle Housing Element update, certain information must
be gathered to demonstrate a reasonable expectation that committed units will
be constructed within the eight-year cycle. SB-9 facilitates the creation of up to
4 housing units in the lot area typically used for 1 single-family home, through
either adding a unit to the existing lot, or subdividing the lot to allow two units for
each lot. Cities may limit the unit size to 800 square feet, but this is not required.
Only objective zoning standards, subdivision standards, and design standards
can be applied. However, these standards cannot preclude the construction of
two units of at least 800 square feet.
General requirements for lot splits: Each new lot must be at least 1,200 sq ft. •
Lots must be split roughly in half – smaller lots must be at least 40% of the original
lots. • A lot intended to be split cannot be created by a previous SB 9 lot split. •
New lot divisions may not be adjacent to another lot that has been split using SB
9 by the same owner, or any person acting in concert with the owner. •
Applicants must sign an affidavit stating they intend to live in one of the units for
at least three years on a lot split, unless the applicant is a “community land trust”
or a “qualified non-profit corporation” as defined by the Revenue and Taxation
Code.

Senate Bill 10 (SB - 10): Ability for City to enable additional units for single-family
zoned lots
Use of this law is optional for each City. This law enables the local government to
approve up to a 10-unit multi-family building on lots currently zoned for
single-family housing. City Council would need to pass a resolution to adopt a
plan to use SB -10, and exempts that zoning action from being considered a
project under the California Environmental Quality Act. When the local
government passes this resolution, it can choose whether the individual projects
will be ministerial/by right or subject to discretionary approval.
