Dear City Council and Asst. Director Connelly,
When the Housing Element is brought to the Housing Commission, Planning Commission and City Council PLEASE provide a map AND address list of
all R1 lots that HE Strategy 1-3-6 applies to for transparency.
Recently, the city failed to specifically identify the BA sites via a list and residents were furious when they found out it was more than “just school sites”!
Please do not make this same mistake and please do not use the excuse that you are not rezoning these R1 lots. You will be adding the potential for
rezoning without any input from neighbors so this is the time, right now, when you need to notify all residents of this potential change!
List the addresses! A blanket postcard about the HE is not equivalent to listing the exact lots. The second bullet is so complex that most people do not
understand which lots apply. List them! All of them!
Thank you,
Peggy Griffin

Cuper tino Voice Sur vey #6: Are You Aware of
How the New Cuper tino Housing Element
Impacts Residents?
From 2024-03-03T00:00:00.000Z to 2024-03-31T00:00:00.000Z
Total Results:
Verified voters: 143 (Total: 170)
First the good news: The Cupertino City Council decided not to propose
a ballot initiative for new taxes! Our survey results contributed to this
decision. Thank you for participating in our previous surveys!
In this survey: the City of Cupertino is updating its Housing Element in
order to meet state mandated Regional Housing Needs Allocations
(RHNA) of 4,588 new housing units for the period of 2023 - 2031. It is
not clear how many residents are aware of these changes or of how they
might impact their neighborhoods. Please see here for details about
RHNA and the Cupertino Housing Element.
Please share your opinions by answering the questions below.
California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?

Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.21

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.21

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?

Cupertino’s draft Housing Element will consider counting sidewalks and
trails through new development projects as “parkland”. This will reduce
the traditional types of parkland (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, athletic
fields and courts, and undeveloped natural spaces). It will also reduce the
fees that developers pay the city to create and maintain parkland. Do

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.
Not sure
When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.

In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public

the traditional types of parkland (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, athletic

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public
meetings to obtain public input?

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.

In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public

the traditional types of parkland (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, athletic

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public
meetings to obtain public input?
Yes

Cupertino’s draft Housing Element will consider counting sidewalks and
trails through new development projects as “parkland”. This will reduce
the traditional types of parkland (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, athletic
fields and courts, and undeveloped natural spaces). It will also reduce the
fees that developers pay the city to create and maintain parkland. Do

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.
Not sure
When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public
meetings to obtain public input?
Yes

Cupertino’s draft Housing Element will consider counting sidewalks and
trails through new development projects as “parkland”. This will reduce
the traditional types of parkland (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, athletic
fields and courts, and undeveloped natural spaces). It will also reduce the
fees that developers pay the city to create and maintain parkland. Do

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which

(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public
meetings to obtain public input?

Cupertino’s draft Housing Element will consider counting sidewalks and
trails through new development projects as “parkland”. This will reduce
the traditional types of parkland (e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, athletic
fields and courts, and undeveloped natural spaces). It will also reduce the
fees that developers pay the city to create and maintain parkland. Do

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public

public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which

eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.

In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.
Not sure
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next
eight years for almost all the cities. Cupertino is allocated 4,588 new
units for 2023 to 2031. An audit by the California State Auditor has
outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing
problems?
Yes, I trust HCD's intentions and methods.
No, central planning organizations rarely consider all relevant local
conditions.

When the first draft was prepared in 2022, the city held many public
meetings to identify the Housing Element sites. A new city council
majority was installed at the end of 2022. When the city prepared the
second draft and third draft in 2023, the city held only one informational
public meeting to confirm the Housing Element sites selection. Which
style do you prefer?
The city should have more public meetings on the Housing
Element.
The city can prepare the Housing Element without much public
input.
Not sure
In addition to the Housing Element site selection, the city needs to
decide how those sites will be rezoned. This involves setting height,
setback, and parking requirements, etc. The city didn’t hold any public
meetings on this matter. Do you think the city should provide public
meetings to obtain public input?

California recently passed over 150 new housing laws that reduce or
eliminate local city council decisions and control about the types of new
housing and where it is built in our city. The city can only “ministerially
approve” some projects which means that it gets approved by city staff
with little or no public input. Do you think this is the right approach?
Yes, state-level one-size-fit-all approach is right.
No, the city understands its housing problem better than the state.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) uses a method (RHNA) and allocated many new units for the next

outlined several weaknesses in the RHNA methodology. Do you think
HCD’s mandated allocation is a good method to solve California housing

Dear Planning Commission,
Below are the comments I submitted for the “Revised Draft3 Housing Element” in March. Nothing
was changed or addressed.
I hope you will take these and all comments seriously and make changes to the draft.
REMINDER…It is a “Draft” and you have the power to make changes, especially to correct the
massive, excessive policies and strategies that NEVER were vetted in public or through our
commissions! And now, they are being rammed through at a special meeting!
SPECIAL NOTE: Our city’s current ADU code allows a max if 4 units on a R1 lot and a max of 4 units
on a R2 lot all across Cupertino, not just on selected lots. There is NO NEED for STRATEGY HE-1.3.6
Encourage Missing-Middle!

FOR THE Revised Draft3 2023-2031 Housing Element.
Dear Housing Element Team,
Below are new comments. Since there were very few changes to this revision of DRAFT 3, I am
also including as an attachment, my previous comments. They still apply unfortunately.
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Still abominable! Outreach BEFORE THIS HE IS APPROVED needs to be done directly to all
lots that are covered in Strategy HE-1.3.6. These people DO NOT KNOW – or is that the intent?
STRATEGY HE-1.3.6 Encourage Missing-Middle – General comment
Although the change from R3 to R2 is a significant improvement, this is still a huge over-reach
with NO public discussion and NO notification to the lots that are potentially impacted!
1. It is NOT CLEAR that the intent is a maximum of 4 units per R1 lot. This needs to be
CLEAR, not just give examples!
2. It is NOT CLEAR that this would REPLACE the ability to have ADUs. If an R1 lot changes
to R2 with 4 units, then by CA law, they can still have 2 additional ADUs!!! This is
excessive!
3. NOTIFY ALL EFFECTED LOTS - You need to notify all R1 lots that are impacted by this
BEFORE the Housing Element comes to the Housing Commission, Planning
Commission and City Council meetings.
4. PRESERVE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS - Historic neighborhoods need to be preserved
like the Echler-designated areas.
5. PRESERVE THE OVERLAYS - Neighborhoods with overlays like R1-a, R1-e, have these to
preserve the look and feel of the neighborhood. These need to be addressed and
maintained.
6. PRESERVE THE SEMI-RURAL DESIGNATIONS – Areas with a semi-rural designation have
a look and feel that gives the neighborhoods their uniqueness, identity and history.
STRATEGY HE-1.3.6 Encourage Missing-Middle – BULLET 1 Corner Lots
If ADUs are still allowed on an R2 conversion lot then REMOVE THIS STRATEGY! It is excessive.
STRATEGY HE-1.3.6 Encourage Missing-Middle – BULLET 2 lots behind/touching commercial
on arterials/major collectors
This needs to GO AWAY (DELETE IT)! It impacts entire streets without proper notification. It
has the potential of impacting lots that owners would not even expect would be impacted.
STRATEGY HE-1.3.6 Encourage Missing-Middle – NEW BULLET 3 Maximum average unit size
This is NOT CLEAR what you are trying to prevent or accomplish. Be clear!
You can have 2 HUGE units and 2 tiny, tiny units and the math works. If what you want is all
the units to be reasonable, then specify that the difference in unit size can’t be more than x%
of total square footage of the largest unit.
STRATEGY HE-2.3.9 BULLET 2 - Parkland Credit for sidewalks and trails
DO NOT ALLOW parkland credit for pedestrian connections and trails.. This is just shared
open space for the residents of the complex. This also leaves the land under the control of the
developer so free speech and activities can be compromised by their rules. People can be
prevented from activities or access that they would normally be allowed on public land!

COMMENTS for DRAFT3 of Cupertino’s 2023-2031 Housing Element
DATE: Friday, February 23, 2024 at 2:40 pm
FROM: Peggy Griffin
COMMENT 1 – LACK OF ANY PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (HCD Dec. 15, 2023 Letter):
The city has had NO PUBLIC MEETINGS AT ALLl to discuss, comment, question or provide suggestions on the
Housing Element Goals, Policies and Strategies in a public forum . Page 5 of the December 15, 2023 HCD Letter
specifically states that public participation is a requirement!
On July 25, 2023 City Staff held a “Study Session and staff presentation on the 6 th Cycle Housing
Element Update” BUT regarding the Goals, Policies and Strategies chapter - NO PRESENTATION OR
DISCUSSION WAS ALLOWED! The only discussion was to confirm the sites selection. NOTHING else
was allowed.
Since Mid-2022, NO MEETINGS have been held/scheduled to allow the public or our Housing and
Planning Commissions to discuss, ask questions, and provide input to ANY of the Goals, Policies and
Strategies in the 2023-2031 Housing Element document!
The Housing and Planning Commissions are both tasked to provide input to our General Plan and the
Goals, Policies and Strategies within our General Plan yet they have NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO DO SO –
NOT ALLOWED to discuss and provide input publicly on the Housing Element Goals, Policies and
Strategies!
As far back as September 8, 2022, the Housing Commission was begging the City Council and City
manager to allow them to contribute to the Housing Element Update (Reference Housing Commission
Agenda on 9-9-2022, Item #2)
Nor have the members of our City Council had an opportunity to be presented with what is proposed,
discuss it, ask questions and provide input! NOTHING IN PUBLIC!
This latest DRAFT3 was posted on February 16, noticed and available for the minimum required 7-day
period. That's it. Nothing else.
2
COMMENT 2a – General – Waivers and Reductions to ALL Requirements
This Housing Element tries to significantly reduce our Park Land requirements, the mitigation fees associated
with this requirement with no significant affordability increase. This is a giveaway to developers that are
building market-rate and luxury homes.
No requirements should be waived or reduced for “moderate income” housing which is 80-120% of AMI! This
because when this income level is used, instead of the lower end (80%), the builder uses the upper end
(120%). That is NOT AFFORDABLE housing! Only consider reductions for LOWER INCOME OR BELOW or what
is considered “LOW INCOME” (up to 80% of BMI) in the table below.
Table below is from https://www.cupertino.org/our-city/departments/community-
development/housing/below-market-rate-housing-program/bmr-rental-program
To give you a perspective, a recent cooking job at a local Cupertino restaurant was posted for $25/hr which is
high compared to servers, etc.
$25/hour * 40 hours/week = $1,000/week before taxes
$1,000/week * 52 weeks/year = $52,000/year before taxes
A couple both working at this restaurant as cooks would earn $104,000/year before taxes
DO NOT REDUCE OR WAIVE requirements for anything above 80% of AMI
3
COMMENT 2b – General Affordability – incentivize smaller sized starter homes
The trend is to provide HUGE 2,000 sf plus units which are not affordable by definition. What we need are
smaller starter homes that are 1,000-1,500 sf homes. To enable this:
PROVIDE INCENTIVES for smaller starter for-sale units.
COMMENT 3 - Page H-17 Strategy HE-1.3.6 Encourage Missing-Middle Housing Developments
BOTH BULLETS…
o This strategy is aimed at the “missing middle”. According to Wikipedia, “The term "missing
middle" is meant to describe housing types that were common in the pre-WWII United States such
as duplexes, rowhouses, and courtyard apartments …missing middle housing emphasizes building
at a human scale and heights that are appropriate for single-family neighborhoods or transitional
neighborhoods.”
This means R2, NOT R3 zoning because R2 is duplexes, etc. Heights are appropriate for single-
family neighborhoods and investors cannot invoke density bonus to obliterate height, setback and
parking regulations.
o There is NO PROVISION for protecting historic neighborhoods like Echler-designated areas such as
Fairgrove.
4
FIRST BULLET…Change R3 to R2 (duplexes) because
o Replacing the R-3 with R-2 is a better transition for neighborhoods. Duplexes can be made to
look like a single home yet it is double the density.
o It increases the probability of owner-occupied units from 1 to 2, doubling the density.
o The combination of allowing R2, NOT R3 zoning, with the addition of ADUs on duplex lots,
allows for a combination of home ownership (duplex) and rentals (ADUs), both of which
provide opportunities for the “missing middle”.
o The current strategy as written, requires units to be rentals. Changing to R2 would allow home
ownership at a reduced price, something that is much needed, BUT would fit in with most
neighborhoods.
o R2 also allows ADUs on the property which would combine ownership duplexes with ADU
rentals thus increasing the missing middle opportunities.
o It is less likely to impact adjacent properties which in turn encourages this approach to
increasing density.
o Allowing R3-zoning as it is written today, allows for the use of density bonus law to eliminate
the height, setbacks and parking requirements which would DESTROY the look and feel of
neighborhoods, each of which have their own unique look and feel throughout our city. These
unique neighborhoods build community and identity.
SECOND BULLET…REMOVE IT COMPLETELY…it refers to property that “abuts (shares a property line or
is directly across the street from) property.
o It is SO OBTUSE that most residents would not be aware of its impact on them.
o Also, it is too far reaching, when we already have designated, HE sites that are far more than is
required by RHNA and
we have not included the typical annual ADU productions in our RHNA counts
nor included the probable increase in ADU production as a result of recent ADU
municipal code changes.
5
COMMENT 4 - PAGE H-18 Strategy HE-1.3.7 Lot Consolidation, 5 th bullet
THE 5TH BULLET…Lot consolidation to accommodate affordable housing units…allowing affordable
projects to exceed max height limits, reduce setbacks, reduce parking requirements…ONLY ALLOW
THIS FOR LOWER INCOME LEVELS, NOT for moderate or above-income units. The incentives need to
increase as affordability increases (gets lower). Don’t giveaway everything without tangible returns!
6
COMMENT 5 - Page H-28 Strategy HE-2.3.1 Bullet #…Lot line adjustments
REMOVE THE LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS…Since we have had NO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION this appears to
be the equivalent of doing immanent domain on adjacent property owners (even on public land). This
increases profits for one developer at the loss of public land and/or adjacent private property.
COMMENT 6 - PAGE H-30 Strategy HE-2.3.4 Office and Industrial Housing Mitigation Program
I endorse this step to require BMR mitigation fees from developers of office and industrial space BUT
NOT COMMERCIAL SPACE. Cupertino is losing retail at an enormous rate, partly as a result of HCD’s
requirements to convert commercial space into housing. We need to encourage retail so that
residents have places to shop without going elsewhere and to maintain our tax revenue base.
COMMENT 7 - PAGE H-35 Strategy HE-2.3.6 Surplus Properties for Housing and Faith-Based Housing, BULLET
4
BULLET 4 - DO NOT PUT HOUSING ON SCHOOL SITES! In Cupertino, these sites are our parks and open
spaces. As our density increases, we need areas where our residents can have opportunities to go
outside and recreate, exercise, play safely, learn sports, etc.
7
COMMENT 8 - PAGES H-36 and H-37 Strategy HE-2.3.7, BULLETs 6 and 7
DO NOT WAIVE park dedication fees and construction tax. The park dedication fee goes towards the
purchase and also improvements of neighboring parks. As density increases, the use and wear and
tear of our city parks increases. Consider only reducing the requirement for lower income levels or
below, NOT FOR moderate income levels or above. Make it proportional to the affordability of the
units. The more affordable the units, the increase in reduction but do not eliminate it completely!
DO NOT WAIVE the parking ordinance. Consider reducing the requirement for lower income and
below affordable units only. DO NOT reduce for moderate income levels. Make it proportional. The
more affordable the units, the increase in reduction but do not eliminate it completely!
COMMENT 9 - PAGE H-38 Strategy HE-2.3.9
DO NOT ALLOW parkland credit for pedestrian connecƟons and trails. This is just shared open space for the residents of
the complex as required by our municipal code. This also leaves the land under the control of the developer so free
speech can be compromised by their rules. People can be prevented from acƟviƟes that they would normally be allowed
to do if it was normal public land!
8
COMMENT 10 - PAGE H-44 Strategy HE-3.3.1 ResidenƟal RehabilitaƟon
BMR FUNDS SHOULD NOT BE USED to help wealthy residents fix up their homes! Don’t just look at income but
look at total assets if considering this. I can see the BMR FUND being drained without providing addi Ɵonal new
units because of this strategy and others that are proposing using BMR Funds.
Before using BMR Funds for this purpose, prioriƟze preserving At-Risk BMR Housing Units (Strategy HE-3.3.2).
COMMENT 11 - PAGE H-48 and H-49 Strategy HE-3.3.5 Park Land Ordinance
DELETE THIS STRATEGY! It is a free giveaway to developers of luxury, moderate and above housing. The
incenƟves for affordable units are covered in other strategies that provide incenƟves to build more affordable
units. Don’t give this away!
9
COMMENT 12 - Policy HE-4.1 ENERGY AND WATER CONSERVATION
ADD A STRATEGY that eliminates any and all incenƟves if a project is not using the latest approved building
codes and Bird Safe/Dark Skies ordinances.
ADD A STRATEGY that protects homes and businesses that have installed solar from neighboring shadows on
their panels. This encourages owners/businesses to install solar with assurances that their investments will not
be destroyed by neighboring construcƟon.
COMMENT 13 - SENIORS TO ALLOW THEM TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES
ADD A STRATEGY to consider providing the ability for CuperƟno seniors to join the Avenidas organizaƟon or
something similar through the Senior Center.
ADD A STRATEGY that matches seniors living alone, widows, etc. with veƩed students or veƩed workers in need
of housing, in exchange for some senior-support needed.
ADD A STRATEGY to help seniors locate trustworthy, veƩed people to do handyman, gardening, repairs, etc.
ADD A STRATEGY to pair seniors with young people for acƟviƟes.
ADD A STRATEGY that would encourage seniors to provide first-hand oral history of their personal experiences to
local schools when they are studying specific periods in Ɵme or group discussions of shared experiences during
key historic events.

Dear Chair Fung, Vice Chair Lindskog and Commissioners:
First I want to thank the outstanding and professional Cupertino City Staff who have
prepared this Housing Element. The date of April 10, 2024 when HCD stated: HCD is
pleased to find the revised draft housing element meets the statutory requirements of
State Housing Element Law …" was a time for celebration.
This 6th Cycle Housing Element reads like poetry to me. There are so many fine
ideas captured within its pages! I reread my favorite lines many times. It makes me
proud that Cupertino has reached this point. Tonight I am pleased to share my
agreement with the zoning changes and other details that are being considered.
I do have one request. I urge you to add Strategy HE- 5.1.7 to Goal HE-5 Special
Services, to help those who are unhoused in Cupertino.
I have provided a draft of this proposed Strategy below.
Goal HE-5 Special Services (page H 48)
Policy HE-5.1 Lower-Income and Special-Needs Households
Add Strategy HE-5.1.7 City’s Process for Assisting Unhoused Individuals.
In accordance with Cupertino City Council Resolution 20-140, adopted on December
15, 2020, the City will continue to use its resources to provide support to the Santa
Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessness. The Cupertino community has
expressed concern about unhoused individuals living on Cupertino property. The
final sentence of the Resolution states: “The process to prioritize outreach and
engagement to build trust and rapport has shown to be the most effective approach at
helping unhoused individuals on a path to housing and addressing the community’s
concerns.” (underlining is mine)
Responsibility: Submit a request through Cupertino 311 app
or www.cupertino.org/311 For emergency situations, call 911. To request a non-
emergency welfare check, call 408-299-2311.
Timeframe: Ongoing
Funding Sources: None required
Objectives: Support the SCCC Plan for Homelessness, Strategy 3, Improve quality of
life for unsheltered individuals and create healthy neighborhoods for all.
Thank you, Chair Fung, Vice Chair Lindskog, and Commissioners, for your time
tonight. You provide a critical service to the City and the community of Cupertino.
Sincerely,
Connie L. Cunningham
Chair, Housing Commission (self only)
PS. I have attached Cupertino City Council Resolution 20-140 below for your
reference.
September 16, 2022
Cupertino City Council Resolution 20-140, adopted on December 15, 2020, endorsed the
Santa Clara County Community Plan to End Homelessness. The City of Cupertino’s
(City) process listed below addresses Strategy 3: Improve quality of life for unsheltered
individuals and create healthy neighborhoods for all. The City has received input from
the community regarding concerns of unhoused individuals living on Cupertino
property. Working to address these concerns as quickly and effectively as possible is
important to the City. There are many social and legal hurdles that must be considered
when working on these scenarios. Recent court cases have upheld the rights of
unhoused individuals to occupy public property if alternative housing options and
certain levels of support are not available to these individuals. These necessary services
are not directly provided by the City and therefore the City must engage with other
entities to ensure these services are available.
Many individuals experiencing homelessness simply need assistance to change their
unhoused situation. For this reason, the City of Cupertino has taken an approach that
focuses first on ensuring the well-being of the unhoused individuals, second on
informing the individuals of the assistance available to them, and third on assisting the
individual to a setting that can provide services. These steps require time to properly
implement.
For emergency situations, call 911. To request a non-emergency welfare check, call 408-
299-2311.
The City’s Process for Assisting Unhoused Individuals:
1) To notify the City of unhoused individuals or encampments, submit a request
through Cupertino 311 app or www.cupertino.org/311.
2) City contacts County Office of Supporting Housing (OSH) who engages the
individual, offering available assistance services to them. In cases where
individual accepts services, the individual is typically taken to facilities where
assistance is provided.
3) City may request County Sheriff’s Office to engage with individual(s) and
perform a wellness check. For individuals needing immediate medical assistance,
the Sheriff’s Office will initiate emergency medical services. The Sheriff’s Office
will notify the City of its assessment.
4) Where individuals are not willing to immediately accept services, the City
continues to coordinate with OSH in additional outreach. OSH and non-profit
contractors work to build trust with the individual towards having the
individual accept the assistance available.
5) During the OSH outreach period, OSH provide s the City with its assessment of
its efforts. If continued efforts do not result in the individual accepting assistance,
OSH provides the City with a determination that continued efforts will not result
in the individual relocating to assistive services.
6) City initiates an encampment resolution process. This process follows the steps
required to notice the encampment occupants of the City’s intent to dismantle
the encampment and to have the area cleared of any items that remain at the
location. The resolution process requires the City to work with OSH to secure
available shelter options for each individual at the location. Any items of
apparent value will be stored for up to 90 days. A posted notice at the location
will provide guidance to individuals on how to retrieve their belongings.
An encampment resolution is the final effort to have an encampment removed from City
property. This step typically results in individuals relocating to another site, whether a
sanctioned shelter or another unsanctioned location, and the site is cleaned up by City
led forces. If individuals relocate to another unsanctioned location, the City’s process
steps are reinitiated upon notification of the new encampment.
The City makes every effort to engage with unhoused individuals and to provide to
them the services available to help them off the streets. The encampment resolution
phase is considered a last resort as this typically does not result in the individual being
assisted off the street.
The process to prioritize outreach and engagement to build trust and rapport has shown
to be the most effective approach at helping unhoused individuals on a path to housing
and addressing the community’s concerns.

2024-4-29 PC Agenda-HE Agenda Item 2, Public Hearing HE and
Associated GPA Amendments
One small request.
Dear Chair Fung, Vice-Chair Lindskog, and Commissioners:
First, I want to thank the outstanding and professional City Staff who have prepared this Housing
Element. The date of April 10, 2024 when HCD stated: HCD is pleased to find the revised draft
housing element meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law …" was a time
for celebration.
This 6th Cycle Housing Element reads like poetry to me. There are so many fine ideas captured
within its pages! I reread my favorite lines many times. It makes me proud that Cupertino has
reached this point. Tonight, I am pleased to share my agreement with the zoning changes and
other details that are being considered.
Of all the topics that I found exciting to see in this Housing Element, I can easily name my top
four favorites, all under Exhibit GPA-1 Chapter 3. Land Use Element
I. Policy LU-1.3 Land Use in all citywide mixed-use districts
a. Thank you for revising LU-1.3.1.3 (some numbers have natural rythmn!)
LU-1.3.1.3 On sites with a mixed-use residential designation, residential densities are established
in Figure LU-2 with specifics in the land use map, where required, with land use designations
defined in Appendix A. This version has removed the requirement that property be in the
Housing Element!!! I loved seeing the edit lines that crossed out the previous wording. I
remember the time that a property owner was thinking to build homes on a property facing
Stevens Creek Blvd. The owner never did. Only later did I find out that the former LU 1.3.1.3
prevented that site from building housing because it wasn’t on the Housing Element!
b. Thank you, also, for revising LU-1.3.1.4 (slightly different beat, but good!)
LU-1.3.1.4. 100% residential development is allowed on mixed-use sites, if at least 40% of the total
units are affordable including at least 20% of the total units affordable to lower income
households. This version has removed the requirement for conditional use permits!!!
II. Very near and dear to my bird-loving heart, farther down in the same Chapter 3, Land Use
Element, thank you for adding two policies LU-3.5 Light Pollution and LU-3.6 Bird Safety.
Cupertino is located on the Pacific Flyway, an important bird migration route.
The Bird Safe Design and Dark Skies Ordinance was passed in 2021, and was an achievement
consistent with our environmental achievements listed under Environmental & Sustainability
Programs on the Cupertino website.
a. POLICY LU-3.5: LIGHT POLLUTION
Reduce light pollution and other adverse effects associated with night lighting from streets and
urban uses.
STRATEGIES:
LU-3.5.1: Dark Sky Ordinance. Maintain Glass and Lighting Standards in the City’s Municipal
Code and require new development and other applicable projects to comply with the adopted
ordinance standards, which provide Dark Sky regulations to reduce light pollution.
b. POLICY LU-3.6: BIRD SAFETY
Enhance bird safety and reduce bird mortality from windows, other glass features, and certain
lighting elements that are known to increase the risk of bird collisions.
STRATEGIES:
LU-3.6.2: Bird Safe Design Ordinance. Maintain Glass and Lighting Standards in the City’s
Municipal Code and require new development and other applicable projects to comply with the
adopted ordinance standards, which provide Bird Safe Design regulations to reduce the potential
risk of bird collisions.
REQUEST: Please add a link to the Ordinances since the titles of the Ordinances are different
when you look them up on the website. Please add the titles of the regulations, as I have listed
them below.

Dear Planning Commission:
(Please include this as public comment on item Number 2: Housing Element in Planning Commission meeting for
4/29/24).
Could you please explain what type of Environmental Impact Report or Environmental Impact
Statement the Housing Element will have and whether this needs a General Plan Amendment?
Normally the city can only make four or five General Plan Amendments per year.
Will this compromise the city's ability to make other General Plan Amendments later in the
Year, such as in the case of the two new hotels?
Thank you.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless

Dear Planning Commission:
I am very shocked to see HCD adding items to our Housing Element that no one knew was in
The Housing Element. How did our Housing Element wind up with every corner lot in the city,
Including R1 areas being allowed to become apartment buildings?
Lots next to retail/commercial, across the street from retail and commercial and along
"Transit Corridors" are supposed to become high-density apartment buildings? Why?
Is this HCD being sneaky and disrespecting the residents of Cupertino and letting builders
Build any old place in the city?
This is a big walk out on a limb that HCD is taking, especially with the RHNA numbers being wrong
In the first place. I think HCD is being a bit over-demanding in what they are trying to build in
Cupertino since a lot of the premise on what this Sixth Cycle Housing Element is based on is
already on shaky ground.
It is common knowledge that HCD decertified Portola Valley in April, 2024 for not rezoning fast
Enough for HCD's liking. Portola was only given their certification by HCD in January, 2024.
What is the rush HCD is having to start harassing a city like Portola Valley after three months?
This makes no sense at all. Is HCD going to do this to Cupertino too? Harass us like HCD
Is harassing Portola Valley?
HCD told Los Gatos to get rid of their story poles last month so they could get certified.
What do story poles have to do with certification? HCD told Los Altos they had to get
Rid of their Story Poles too last August so they could get certified. Again, what do
story poles have to do with certification? It sounds more and more like HCD just makes
Things up that each city has to do to get certified. Each city is being treated differently.
HCD is making up its own rules as it goes along.
Why am I not surprised to see strange zoning codes for apartment buildings on R1
Corner lots, apartment buildings on R1 by commercial/retail, apartment buildings on
R1 across the street from commercial/retail and apartment buildings on R1 by streets with
Buses called "high quality transit". This is something HCD dreamed up and put in the
Cupertino Housing Element. None of the public knew it was in there. No one asked us.
We are just expendable.
It is actions like this that make me wonder if HCD is even competent enough to carry out
A Housing Element. HCD has a flimsy narrative with the RHNA numbers and now is
Going down the road of keeping the public in the dark and taking advantage of the city.
What kind of behavior is that for a supposed state agency?
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin

Dear Planning Commission,
Regarding the housing element, I was shocked by the number of changes that have been made recently without public participation. One of these is the policies. With so many high-density sites
already defined, we do not need to be adding more. I would have liked to see these late additions removed.
Regarding the Evulich Court site. All of a sudden the site could grow by 0.4 acres because the public road into the site could be purchased by the property owner.
Unfortunately the GPA-2022-001 (see below snip) is very hard to read because it only lists APNs – so many other documents also listed addresses and it would have been better to list them here.
Originally, the combination of four properties was expected to generate a maximum of 89 homes.
With the addition of the road into the property, it is now expected to generate a maximum of 104 homes.
And who knows how many more could be added after throwing in a few density bonuses.
While I do think that it is a good idea to include the public road into the project to improve the distribution of new homes, I do not think that it should increase the effective housing density by 20%.Can you please modify the density of this “Transportation lot” for adding no density to the project?
Also, I am concerned about the Housing Element not having CEQA. When a developer needs to do CEQA, they have nothing to tier off of. How do you decide which projects are infill and which are
not? While I am not personally affected by traffic on Linda Vista, I am keenly aware of traffic in the tri-school (Lincoln, Kennedy, Monta Vista) area and cannot imagine what adding 104 homes
(plus density bonus plus other projects in the area in turning corner lots into multi-family) would do to traffic. Where is the study on that? And with all of that traffic, can an emergency-vehicle get in
or out of the area timely? And I’m just using this site as an example – I am confident that there are other issues within the housing element as well that should get ironed out.
Finally we need to do what we can to retain our park space. I was dismayed to see that the park mitigation fees could go down. By allowing higher density on so many properties, the property values
of those properties have increased and should have an appropriate fee to provide additional park space. I would also like to see the calculations that were derived in the document for the decline of
park space as specified in our General Plan and the use of that new lower number as a benchmark.
Sincerely, Rhoda Fry

Hello Planning commission and Chad, Ben, Luke,
This is a comment on HE site locations in attachment for agenda item 2 for planning
commission meeting today.
Please publish the site address in addition to APN. It is very challenging to individually
lookup the address for each APN provided. Please make it easier for residents to know what
locations are designated HE sites.
Thank you.

Dear City Council:
It has become apparent that HCD is trying to say in the Housing Element Document (which
No one is allowed to change!!!) that developers don't have to pay the full parkland
Dedication fees! This is absolutely outrageous!
HCD is dictating that Cupertino will have no parks? Why does HCD think they get to tell
Cupertino about what kind of parks they can have? They are just trying to let builders
Shirk their duties of providing parkland for all the new people they bring into
The city.
What is this Housing Element Document anyway? A free ride for developers? Is that why
We are wasting our time with this totally obnoxious document from HCD to give
Developers a way to way to over build the city and not pay their way?
This Housing Element Document written by HCD is a complete slap in the face for
The public in Cupertino and total disrespect for the residents.
HCD is telling Cupertino they don't deserve parks? HCD, which is so preachy about their
AFFH, is not affording the public in Cupertino the same respect. HCD doesn't want
Cupertino to have parks and they don't even care about the residents who live in
The city now.
HCD wants the current Cupertino residents to move away so that HCD can dictate
Who lives in Cupertino. That is pretty elitist of HCD. Shame on HCD.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
